On Wednesday 26 February, 14 Junior and Middle School boys travelled to the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) to compete in the 2020 South Yarra Schools District Swimming Championships. Congratulations to the entire team who finished in fourth place overall in the Boys Schools Division. Special mention and congratulations go to our Butterfly stars Isaac Khoo and Melvin Zhang who qualified for the Beachside Divisional Championships.

On Friday 6 March a pair of boys from Junior and Middle School competed in the Beachside Division Swimming Championships held at Oakleigh Pool. Congratulations to Isaac Khoo and Melvin Zhang on their performances. Melvin finished first in his 50m butterfly race and would have progressed through to the Southern Metro Championships had they not been cancelled. Isaac Khoo swam exceptionally well in a strong field and finished third.

While it was disappointing that the Winter and Spring Seasons weren’t able to run throughout the year, it was pleasing that we were able to at least complete the 2019-20 Summer Season.

The AGSV Summer season proved to be one of our most successful for some time with all Firsts teams finishing no lower than fifth on their respective premiership ladders. Table Tennis had another dominant, undefeated season to claim Camberwell’s sixth premiership in a row to take our overall tally to 19. Ethan Tang was a member of all six premierships, while Nathan Shi (Captain) finished his school Table Tennis career having not lost a single match across five years in the team. After stellar seasons, both Ethan and Nathan, as well as Bryden Tan gained AGSV Representative selection. Volleyball and Tennis made the finals for the first time in many years and both teams finished a commendable fourth. Departing Captain and Coach combination, Frank Bite and Liam Gibson were instrumental in the Volleyball team’s success. The Tennis team looks set for future success with a host of young talent in the side, highlighted by Matthieu Gibert, who played the season as the team’s number one.

Basketball and Cricket both had much improved seasons, finishing in fifth place and only narrowly missing out on a finals berth. Both teams completed their respective seasons with strong performances. The outgoing Year 12s of the First V were the stars of the show in a dominant 11-point win against Yarra Valley. Co-Captain, Taran Laurence had an exceptional season. Meanwhile, the First XI comfortably chased down Yarra’s total by six wickets. Members of the team were joined by Second XI players to enjoy prolonged celebrations on the middle of the KAO in a fitting way to send off outgoing, much-loved Coach, Richard Clifton. Students who gained AGSV Representative selection included Ellis Biggar (Basketball), Connor Laird, Jordan McCleery (Cricket), Nathan Shi (Captain), Bryden Tan and Ethan Tang (Table Tennis), Frank Bite and Ming Jin Low (Volleyball). Unfortunately, the matches were not played however, we are very proud of each student’s contribution to the program. In our non-AGSV sports, Orienteering claimed a premiership in their Wednesday evening Park Street competition, our top Squash team won their division and our top Lawn Bowls team were runners up in the unofficial AGSV competition. The Cycling squad showed remarkable improvements and recorded outstanding results. There were many podium finishes throughout the season, but consistent performances saw Zac Kelly win Senior A Grade (back-toback), Alex Guorgi finish second in Senior C Grade and Luke Ryan win Senior D Grade. Kayaking had consistent and excellent performances from many students in the squad. In Term 4, they competed in the showcase event for the sport, the Cobram 40 Miler, where the squad and their families ventured up to the Murray River. The new year included events such as the State Marathon Championships in Geelong and the State Sprint Championships in Nagambie. With its extended season, it is another sport that requires dedication and skill. Although the final races of the season were cancelled, the Triathlon squad performed exceptionally well in the 2XU Triathlon Series over the summer. Lead by Dr Jack Smith and Captain, Alex Lew, the young squad learned quickly to improve their changeover times and rose up the leader board.

Unfortunately, the Winter and Spring Seasons were spent in lockdown. However, coaches, staff and students came together on Zoom and other online platforms to stay connected with sport and physical activity. Footballers were treated to guest speakers, while the Hockey and Soccer teams caught up regularly to continue their development in theoretical and practical applications. The Captain of Games, Tom Bowers demonstrated great initiative by encouraging all students to join the school’s unofficial Strava account to ‘highlight the streets of Melbourne’ and it was fantastic to see so many students contribute. Many kilometres were recorded by foot and bicycle. The Sport program continues to grow each year with exciting initiatives and ventures. Next year, we welcome the school’s very own ‘Home of Tennis’ at Leason Street, Kew. Meanwhile, in conjunction with the Sport Academy, coaching opportunities within the program are expanding. Due to the interrupted season, Sport Colours were only awarded in the Summer Season. Full Colours are a reward for those who demonstrate the highest levels of commitment, character and exceptional performance. Well done to the following students. Basketball: Ellis Biggar and Taran Laurence

Cricket: Connor Laird and Jordan McCleery

Cycling: Zac Kelly, James Stambe and Logan Taplin

Kayaking: Rhys Campbell, Will Murray and Daniel Watson

Lawn Bowls: William Cook and Elijah Pannozzo

Orienteering: Luke Burton, Felix McCuaig and Benjamin Price

Squash: Arman Cakmakcioglu and Kai Sapolu

Table Tennis: Joshua Hui, Bryden Tan, Ethan Tang and Nathan Shi

Triathlon: Alex Lew

Volleyball: Frank Bite

The Sport Department would like to recognise the efforts made by all Friends of Groups who continued to aid their respective sports. Some of the many contributions this year included Kayaking ergos, an indoor Hockey goal and numerous barbecues. Thank you to all members for your ongoing support.

A host of people help to make Sport at the school a memorable experience for everyone involved, particularly the students. None more so than the staff and coaches who guide our boys to be better sportsmen and, more importantly, shape them into fine young men. Thank you for the substantial time and effort you so willingly gave. In what was a challenging year for many, thank you to all students and parents for making the Sport program so special. While they missed out on the majority of their final year of school Sport, I want to make special acknowledgment of the contributions of all Year 12 students to the program throughout their years at the school. To all Year 12s, stay involved in sport and stay connected to the school through one of the Old Camberwell teams. I wish you all a healthy, physical activity-filled future.

Director of Sport

What a year it has been. The Sports Academy has continued regardless and, like being down at half time in the grand final, has fought back to kick a few goals after half time. Consolidation and innovation was the key to both programs within the Academy for 2020, with a view to building a new and improved athlete management system and some developments to facilities used within the Academy. This all occurred to varying degrees under trying circumstances and will continue to do so for 2021 and beyond.

The Emerging Athlete Pathway (EAP), formerly known as the Elite Athlete Pathway, has grown to nearly 40 students in 2020. The program continued to build on areas such as individualised coaching and assessment with high profile coaches, personalised strength and conditioning with Paul Sartori and Adam Earnshaw, mental and physical health monitoring and educational assistance. The introduction of an onsite Physiotherapist was both informative and collaborative. With the introduction of the new management system DEEDS, the Sports Academy is continuing to look at inventive ways to improve processes and the introduction of a new athlete management system.

The 1-on-1 Coaching Program is now known as the Personalised Coaching Program or PCP. Students can access this program before, during or after school and up to four students can attend each coaching session. They have the same access to high profile coaches, assessment and management, just like the EAP.

The numbers across the school have been very impressive. In over 11 different sports, 37 students are enrolled in the EAP from Years 7 to 12 while a further 108 students from Year 1 through to Year 12 participated in the PCP. 10% of the school now access the Sports Academy in a range of sports, coaching and programs.

Some of our expert, high profile coaches within both programs include Craig Mottram, Jack Hale, Steve Blackley, Davide Bertamini, Paul Sartori, Jordan Russell, Rayden Tallis, Lou Cirello, Richard Clifton, Mark Freeman, Joe Gerada and Nick Ong. Several of these coaches have coached or been involved at the highest level in their sport as a player or coach.

Some of the new programs the Sports Academy has looked at have included lectures, both online and at school. The Man Cave is a company that promotes good mental health in young males. The Sports Academy orchestrated a program for all of the EAP students during lockdown which focused on their mental health in unprecedented times. Lectures also focused on building resilience during lockdown and how elite athletes have survived during this time. Krystine Mottram led some of the sessions while Luke Matthews, current Australian 800m and 1500m athlete, gave a personal account of his struggles and life beyond COVID-19 and his journey towards the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The new underground, synthetic playing surface is a new addition to the Sports Academy. Students will be able to utilise this area all year round without the fear of being rained out or their Sports Academy session cancelled due to bad weather. There is space for a cricket bowling machine, small team games and a hockey goalkeeping machine that shoots balls just to name a few. The students now have access to some of the best coaches and facilities within any sports program within Australia.

The future is always a new idea that comes to fruition. Those ideas include a range of areas, some of which include a new mental health program, further development of facilities and programs and better connections within the wider Camberwell Grammar community. Working with current families and their sporting requirements are at the forefront of the Sports Academy’s objectives. Believe it can happen, work hard to make it happen and then change the world.

2020 has been a massive year for Camberwell Grammar Aquatic. Kicking the year off, we hosted some fantastic programs to our CGS and aquatic community, with programs spanning across curriculum, sport, extra-curricular lessons and squads as well as some local primary schools. Matt Belgiovane and the coaching team produced two National Open Short Course Qualifiers and a further three National Age Qualifiers to compete this year. A tremendous achievement for such a young club. Whilst we were off to a promising start to the year, things quickly came to a halt. As COVID-19 restrictions and lockdown set in we had to cancel numerous programs and events. Heartbreaking news for our AGSV Team, Learn to Swim and Club swimmers, and of course our State and National level swimmers. Shut down was a busy period for us – we not only created an online Aquatics PE Unit and a Virtual Swimming Pool, but we were able to offer support and ongoing programming to our swimming community online.

At the end of Term 3 we had achieved the following;

• 60 athletes on individual programs • 72 swimmers participating in online prescription each week • 150 Zoom workouts hosted

• 256 online sessions (from catch ups to cooking classes) • 436 hours dedicated by coaches to online delivery • 5,460 total attendances to the sessions provided

We were thankful to provide an important service to athletes during this time and loved seeing everyone back in action as we see restrictions eased.

In late 2018 we began developing a new grassroot sport initiative call Junior Racers. Junior Racers is a skill based Learn to Race Program, and focuses on what kids both enjoy and need to develop confidence in.

After significant research and development, we successfully piloted the program in 2019 with some fantastic results. ARV (Aquatics and Recreation Victoria) have recognised the value of this program and awarded us the 2020 Innovative Program Award – we are really proud of this achievement.

As we move out of restrictions, we are excited to see programs recommence and help all of those in our aquatic community!

Mr Nic Campbell Aquatic Manager

The Strength and Conditioning Program kicked 2020 off with involvement in summer Firsts squad conditioning, PE curriculum and general student weight room use. COVID-19 lockdowns provided a great opportunity to take the program virtually, exposing a greater number of students to home body weight training.

Over the two lockdown periods, 658 Zoom fitness sessions were offered to Year 6-12 students, Camberwell Grammar Aquatic swimmers and CGS staff. 4,430 attended sessions on offer for students and Firsts squads. A real focus was placed on continual student connection and love of exercise. Fun and positive engagement was promoted with fitness games, partner workouts, trivia, competitions and theme days. All boys that gave up time either before school, lunchtime or after school must be commended for their efforts. Many students showed great dedication to their own overall physical and mental health and built fantastic habits around exercise during the year. A shout out to Ned Chesler (‘aka’ Mr Zoom) who attended the most Zoom fitness sessions over the lockdown periods, an incredible 201 sessions.

2020 emphasised the need to remain physically active, no matter the source. The Strength and Conditioning Program looks forward to a bigger and better 2021 with the return of regular conditioning sessions in the David Dyer Fitness Centre and involvement in sport training.

In the summer 2019-2020 season of Archery there were 24 of us that participated. Four of these boys were Year 7 students who joined the school at the start of 2020 and they were impressive in their quick pickup of the sport. Training on Wednesday afternoon and Saturday morning each week, the squad prepared for the two competitions that were undertaken right before the end of the season. As far as the competition went, we faced Trinity Grammar on both occasions, resulting in a win and a loss. Funnily enough, the day where we faced abysmal weather of rain and biting wind, was the competition where we came out on top. In addition to this, our external coach, Mr Rob McKenzie, graciously extended an invitation to train at his club, the Kew City Bowmen at Hays Paddock, at the end of 2019. This opportunity was great for the boys, since everybody got a chance to use a bow without a sight and if they so wished, try out a compound bow. I think I speak for everyone on the squad when I say that it was an experience that greatly improved our overall skill. I was privileged to have the leadership role of Captain of Archery this year, and I am absolutely stoked at the quality of the group’s performance. A special thank you must go to Rob, for enduring us as a squad and helping us become better bowmen, and to Mr Daniel for his supervision of the squad. Without them, this whole exercise would not be possible. I would like to thank Austin Yim for being my right-hand man this year as my Vice Captain.

Aleksandar Rupar Captain of Archery

As the teacher in charge of Archery, I would like to extend my thanks to Aleksandar for the professional way in which he fulfilled his role as Captain of Archery. His mentorship of the younger participants, particularly those new to the sport, was impressive.

Teacher in Charge

The 2019/20 First V Basketball season involved many ups and downs but overall my final season playing alongside my teammates and friends was a great experience. First of all, I would like to thank Friends of Basketball, the AGSV umpires, the supportive parents including Tom Power and his father Mr Andrew Power, and Coach Steve and Ms Katrina Massey for working hard all season long to give us the best experience possible. Most of all, I would like to thank all the supporters that came down to our home games and created a truly memorable atmosphere. Over the last year, I would like to think that we developed a fantastic culture bigger than First V Basketball. With the help of sausage sizzles and drum line performances, the games were the highlight of each week, and I was proud to step out on the floor in front of such a supportive crowd. One of these special moments was when Sam Veitch scored a clutch three-pointer to tie the game with seconds left against Mentone and although we ended up losing the game, it was a great feeling when the crowd went wild as the ball went through the net. Altogether, the team won four games and lost four games, narrowly missing a spot in the top four to play finals. Despite this, the season as a whole was something I will always remember and be thankful for. I would highly recommend younger players to work hard and strive for a spot on the First V Basketball team, because it is a great experience. Overall, my ‘last dance’ alongside my friends was an exceptional and memorable few months.

Ellis Biggar Co-Captain

The 2019/20 season for the Second Blue Basketball team was a highly successful one. Joint MVPs Harry Rush and Will Day contributed on the score board and were the defensive leaders in every game. Some fantastic individual performances were clocked by improving big man, Hamish Wild, and early in the season by Jay Song, who had stepped up his game immensely in the off season. Ruben Hopkins’ last second three pointer to defeat PEGS, at PEGS, was easily the moment of the last two seasons. Individual performances aside, this playing group will be forever remembered as the team that brought back the high-five, just before the high-five was removed from the COVID-19 era list of acceptable social behaviours. The team spirit was immense all season. Watching every team member high-five every other team member, in almost every stoppage, in many of the games was quite the spectacle of comradery. This team’s spirit is the new gold standard for Seconds Basketball at Camberwell Grammar School.

It was a very promising season from the younger of the two Seconds sides, CGS Gold. Although injury cut his season short, Ben Wardlaw’s contribution in the games that he did play were immense enough to qualify him as the MVP. He was reliable on defence and contributed voluminously on the scoreboard. However, it was Ben’s contribution as a motivator and team unifier that stood out. Most improved this season was big man Garnet Brennan. Over the off-season, Garnet developed immensely as an attacking player and was dominant on the scoreboard in most games. Some very impressive individual performances were clocked up by Petersen, Johnson, Purcell and Daniel. Who, in each of four separate games, was the difference between winning and losing. However, the most impressive aspect of this team is their passing. Their clear eyes, quick hands and excellent positioning off the ball made for a very entertaining style of play. As a group, most of them will return for a final season together next summer. There is little doubt they have the potential to go close to a clean sweep of AGSV Seconds Basketball when they do.

The Fourth Blue Team had a tough and thrilling 2019/20 Summer season; from the nail-biting start against PEGS Red where the ring appeared hexed; expelling our every attempt at goal and the smashing losses against Trinity in round 3 and 6, to the eye popping gasps of the last match against our own Camberwell Grammar School Bears, it was a season like no other. The team: Chris How, Nic Feldt, Alexander Ryan, Thomas Cox, Philip Wang, Andrew Phan, Darcy de Rauch, Matthew Deayton, Steven Chen and Angus Corr, all performed brilliantly. Round 4 against Mentone Gold was also a highlight with Camberwell trailing 12:16 a half time. By digging deep and with great defensive play by Darcy de Rauch, Philip Wang and Thomas Cox the team took ground bringing the score to 30:31. With 3 seconds on the clock Matthew Deayton broke free and took a chance to snatch victory with a heroic last shot at goal, pushing the final score Camberwell’s way 32:31. The match burned deep into the team’s memory, but it was totally eclipsed by the final game of the season against Camberwell Bears. The Blues started strongly with Chris How and Matthew Deayton scoring fast, followed by Nic Feldt’s two extraordinary three pointers taking the halftime score 20:17. The Bears dug deep in the second half and with the Blue’s energy flagging they took the lead. Six points down and with minutes left the Blues clawed their way back, with seconds left on the clock Matthew Deayton played interference and snatched the ball and with a heart-pumping, on the clock, layup he took a shot; the crowd jumped to their feet and held their breath as the ball circled the hoop, falling through as the siren sounded leading to the Blue’s only draw of the season. It will be a game long remembered by those who witnessed the battle of the season!

Fourth Gold Team had a very successful 2019-2020 season winning six of the eight matches played. The first match of the season against Yarra Valley Red started brilliantly with Lewis Neil’s speedy runs and gentle layups pushing the score up. These first shots were quickly followed by Thomas Nicholson’s impressive steals and additional goals. At halftime Camberwell was in the lead 26:9 with Benjamin Svikis and James Balfour’s defensive skills preventing opponents scoring, resulting in a 63:13 win! However, the most impressive match of the season was against our old rival Trinity Green. Camberwell took the lead early and by halftime Camberwell was still ahead by one point 17:16, but Trinity was not prepared to give up and as the teams went head to head in the second half only John Thomson, Tim Heavey, Nathan Le and Dean Kotsimbos’s diligent rotating defence line prevented a likely beating. With three seconds left on the clock it looked like a well-earned Camberwell victory (26:25); however, with a sudden lucky snatch Trinity had the ball, aimed high, and as the siren blew scored the final goal taking the match 27:26. The crowd took to their feet applauding; it was the most exciting match of the season. Thanks to all the boys, coach Noah, Ms Jennifer Turnnidge and parents for supporting us this season.

The Fourth Crest team worked well together to progress from heavy losses to the occasional win as the season continued. The team gained confidence and all players showed improvement in their basketball skills and match tactics; approaching every game with determination. The highlight of the season was our game against Yarra Valley Grammar, where we were losing the match 6-11 at halftime. However, by actively securing rebounds and making numerous jump shots, the team turned the game around and ended up winning by 16 points! Sam Schwenk, Riley Swinburne and myself all played with endeavour and enthusiasm, supported by Nathan Windisch and Benjamin Worley.

This year the Fourth Mitre boys really pulled together for a cracking final season. With the help of Team Manager Ms Jessica Cormick and Coach Mr Noah Marshallsay, we finished our Camberwell Basketball careers on a high, part of a basketball journey many of us began years ago in Year 7. We opened the season with a dominant win over Yarra Valley Grammar, a performance which set the tone for the rest of the season, rolling with high momentum. Consistent efforts and positivity from all team members, particularly Lucas Yan, Carson Howard and Dan Iacobucci, coupled with strong performances from Jamie Garnham, Lachlan Waycott and Harry Senior, ensured that Fourth Mitre was a formidable opponent in a season to remember, a season in which we all pulled together one last time to represent our school. On behalf of the team, I would like to thank all of the coaches, managers and support staff who enabled our competition, and the referees who consistently umpired our games to the highest possible standards.

The Fourth Bears team had a very enjoyable season, playing a great deal of excellent basketball and savouring an encouraging number of successes as well. Admirable wins were achieved, including the heart-stopping game against Penleigh and Essendon Grammar’s Red Team, which was hard-fought with both sides giving their all. All games were played with our boys demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and competing most impressively in both their demeanour and their positive performance. Nevertheless, the most exciting game of the season, against our very own Camberwell Blue Team, was very closely contested, with both sides leaving nothing on the court, but competing fairly, positively and in a sportsmanlike manner. The final result, a draw, was a most fitting way to end the season for both teams. There were quite a few stand out players throughout the various rounds, but congratulations must go to all members of the team for a successful season.

Mr James Victor Teacher in Charge

The Fourth Cubs team proved themselves to be a determined, persistent and resilient team, enjoying an encouraging degree of success throughout the season. A most pleasing win was recorded against Mentone, in which the Cubs played very skilfully and set goals up strategically. Despite the game being very closely contested, the Cubs’ persistence paid off. Nevertheless, their determined attitude shone through in all games, giving of their best and making a determined effort. The Cubs continued to demonstrate their sportsmanship and a great deal of perseverance throughout the season. One of the special events of the season was competing in the ‘Centenary Round’ against Trinity, marking the 100th Anniversary of AGSV Sport. Our boys played with a great sporting spirit, displaying an admirable standard of sportsmanlike behaviour and giving their all until the very end. Congratulations must go to all team members for a very enjoyable season.

Mr James Victor Teacher in Charge

Suffering only three losses during the season, the 10A Basketball team was a force in the competition. Tall timber Benny Grayson frequently dominated games and was well supported by the athleticism of Harrison Haintz and Thomas Power – the whole team could be listed here such was their dedication and application to the task at hand – namely, winning. There were a few games that slipped between our fingers – frustratingly, twice to Trinity. This represents a point of focus for the boys who assure me that the off season is to be spent sharpening skills and shooting hoops so that next year, as they take to the Senior competition, the boys will be hungry to set the ledger straight.

Teacher in Charge

Undefeated. A word every coach wants to use in their season report, a catch cry for every player in the last games of the season. Coincidentally, it is also particularly accurate in describing the Camberwell Grammar 10B Basketball team’s performance in the 2019/2020 season. Though fires rages and virus set its feverish grip on the world, our boys were not distracted. Though the opposition frequently loomed large (you know who you are, Marcellin) and though the boys were champing at the bit to have a bite at the 10A pie, the 10B team played as a machine – it is no more possible to describe one player as more important than another than one could pick out the most important panel on our solar array. They all worked together to create a power that shocked the competition, week after week. Given this performance, the future looks bright as they march towards their senior career in Camberwell Basketball. Thank you to Mr Cyrus Chan for coaching the first half of the season and Ms Natalie Stevens who took over at the start of this year.

Teacher in Charge

Both the 10C Gold and 10C Blue teams proved to be strong contenders this season. The 10C Blue team members started the season with the benefit of knowing each other well which aided the team to play cohesively. As the season went by, all members played with increased confidence and flair. They developed their shooting skills and while they experienced some tough losses towards the end of the season, these only pulled the team even closer together. While initially playing more as individuals, the 10C Gold team members quickly developed their team playing skills through improving their communication on both offence and defence and through the inclusion of everyone in the team. This boosted their overall confidence and enhanced the quality of their game. It was lovely to see the camaraderie both teams demonstrated. Furthermore, both teams diligently attended training sessions and actively listened to and implemented their coaches’ advice. They can be very proud of the passion, sportsmanship and commitment they displayed throughout this season.

Teacher in Charge

It was a pleasure to watch the 10C Mitre Basketball team work to improve their performances throughout this season. There were a couple of losses in the first half of the season but the boys used these losses to inspire them to listen to their coach, train hard and implement new approaches. The second half of the season saw the boys trusting one another and achieving strong wins for the team. Their final game appeared to be the consolidation of all they had worked towards. Each team member was determined and impressive; but most significantly, they worked superbly as a team to meet their opposition goal for goal until extra time gave their opposition a two-point win. Each player had their impressive match but a special mention goes to Kyle Scheer, Leeshan Navaneetharaja and Hayden Newman. Congratulations to all 10C Mitre players; a fine effort!

Teacher in Charge

It was a challenging season for the 10C Crest team with personal injury, illness and quarantining preventing the team from being complete for almost all games. However, individuals continued to give their all to each game and consequently each player improved significantly during the season. While Jonathan Le and Kayson Wang achieved an impressive number of points for the team across the season, each player had their particular match in which to impress the onlookers. Their final game was proof of what they are capable of. Having only four players, it didn’t look as though they were going to get very far against their opponents. However, some terrific coaching, teamwork and point scoring accuracy ensured the team finished the season with a superb win. Well done to you all!

Congratulations to both teams on a challenging yet fulfilling season. Competitive spirit and sportsmanship were showcased on the court each week, and each player was proud in victory, yet gracious in defeat. The games were played with an intensity and focus throughout the season and the hard work put in at training was evidenced at the games each Saturday. In the 9A team, Adam Rizzo is to be congratulated for the consistent leadership he presented, as his understanding of both the game and his teammates’ abilities helped to guide them each week. In the 9B team, Nathan Rice showed maturity and determination, actively listening to the coach’s advice and working each week to better his game. Both teams learned a lot this season and should be congratulated for their efforts.

Teacher in Charge

The 9C Blue Basketball team had an amazing season full of exciting plays and awesome shots. The team had a full line-up of playing styles, some preferring to stay back and provide bulletproof defence that stopped the most aggressive of teams, and some to go all out on offence showing all their ball handling and passing skills. Whether it was Henry’s fade-aways, Lachie’s defence, Shiv’s threes or Jarrod’s lightning fast layups, all members of the team made every game something to look forward to. However, we would not have achieved the amazing 67% win rate without the coaching and guidance we received from our coach, Will. Every session he had fun and educational drills that forwarded our overall game performance. I personally have thoroughly enjoyed playing for the 9C Blues and look forward to playing with these boys in the years to come. Thanks to Mr Graham Ruffles and all the teachers that made this season possible.

The 9C Gold Basketball team season was a season to remember with some great games that went down to the wire. Throughout the entirety of the season, multiple players had outstanding performances and contributions. A standout game was from Jimmy Devine in the last game of the season against a tough team in Trinity. With only a minute left and the team down three, Jimmy hit three clutch free throws to secure a draw, in what was a game to remember. Some mentions are Charles Mills’ outstanding efforts on the boards throughout the season and Michael Wang’s frequent scoring to help the team stay within reach of our opponents in some games. Apart from that, I would like to thank all the boys on the team for a great season, a season that we will all look back on fondly.

Well done to the team on a strong season of basketball! The boys played tremendously well in the first half of the season, being undefeated going into the season break. The team faced strong opponents in the second half of the season, but they showed determination and strength as a team to fight through to the end of the season. 8A finished with 5 wins out of 8 games, with many hard-fought matches. Congratulations to Ryder Cheesman who was the most valuable player for this season. Special mentions to Harry Clarke, Jackson Haintz, Will Richardson and Joel Burton who featured heavily in the best players throughout the season. Well done to all the boys in the team, who all played a vital role in their team’s success!

Congratulations to the 8B team on a successful season of basketball! The boys consistently played well in matches and worked hard in training to refine their technique and strategy. The team had some very dominant wins, their best win being over PEGS white in their final match with a 34-6 score line. 8B finished with five wins out of seven games, showing improvement as a team throughout the season. Congratulations to Hugh Fukumura who was the most valuable player for the season. Special mentions to Jamison Smith and Jason Liang who featured in many matches as valuable players. Well done to the whole team on a great season!

Teacher in Charge Congratulations to both teams on a very successful season. The season started off full of enthusiasm and team spirit. The boys were enthusiastic and looked forward to their training session each week as well as their games on the weekend. Throughout the season all players worked extremely well together and improved in all aspects of the game. They tackled each game with a high level of sportsmanship as well as a deep desire to win. Both the 8C Blue and Gold teams had some exciting wins and some disappointing losses but they all played with determination and passion. They were supportive of one another and passed the ball around so that everyone had a chance to play.

There were outstanding performances by many players throughout the season. Henry Deayton and Ashton Nunn put in consistent efforts throughout the season to take out the MVPs for their respective teams. A special mention to Lachlan Young with his burst of speed bringing the ball down the court and Joe Hu and Justin Mellor for their consistent team play.

On behalf of the team I would like to thank our coaches who did an amazing job and to all the parents who came and supported the players.

Ms Suzanne Jack Teacher in Charge

The 8C Mitre juggernaut rolled through their season, making waves as they parted through the ocean that was their competitors. The 8C Mitre boys always competed in good spirits, no matter the result. They hustled hard each week to win the majority of their games. Ioan Hillard, Parker Rush, Timothy Lu and Declan McCabe were impressive all season.

The 8C Crest team battled hard all season. They played some impressive matches and always competed hard and fair. Whilst results didn’t always go their way, they impressively never gave up. Notable mentions to JP Ma, Max Pringle, Tobias Phillips and Joshua Ng who displayed much skill throughout the season.

Mr Nathan Jones Teacher in Charge

Overall, the Year 7A and 7B Basketball teams had a reasonable season, with a fairly even spread of wins and losses across the four rounds.

Highlights of the season include two strong wins by the 7A team, with Luke Davidson, Oscar Stambanis, Karlan Ng and Riley Scott consistent performers, managing to pull the team together in some tight contests. Luke Davidson was relentless in both offence and defence, giving his best every minute of every game. Elliott Walker, Wonlee Kua and Fraser Richardson were consistently reliable ball-handlers and Mitchell Graham was handy in defence.

The 7B team had one convincing win against Assumption – so it was worth the long drive out to Kilmore – and a couple of games later went down to PEGS by only a point in the final minutes after coming back from 10 points down earlier in the game. Hugo Thompson and Luca Tassone always played well together; Beckley Kleynhans was courageous in defence, often penetrating to the basket; Jack Giang used his height effectively and Thomas Tonkin showed great dexterity and determination. Every player gave his best each game, with notable contributions from Hamish Stuart-Adams – particularly in the game against Assumption – and notable quick moves from Ben Ngo and Fin Williams. Thanks to Kris Vos-Rutter and Max Pearce for stepping up from the C teams; they fitted in quickly and were an asset to the team.

It has been a great experience for all players to participate in this competition. We have learnt to play as a team, to work together and support each other. Thanks to our coaches and staff for helping us to build our skills and for looking after us at training and at Saturday matches.

In our first game that we played against Ivanhoe we sadly lost 13-31. Perhaps this is because we did not yet know each other and our individual talents well. Standout players were Ashwin Lagana, Joshua and William as all three of them did amazing defence and offence. Our second game was against Assumption and we had a comfortable win with 47-6. It was a great game as everyone got time with the ball. In particular, Ashwin, Will and William played outstanding games with amazing defence and great passing.

We played against Trinity in our third game and had an amazing win 26-10. The game was very close as the ball kept going up and down the court. Some amazing players on the court were William, Tomas and Thomas who played very well, blocking most of the opposition points. We played our final game against Mentone and won 31-19. It was a very close game, and everyone played well especially Will, William and Jonathon.

It was an amazing season as our team got better and better together and got to know each other. Good job to everyone who helped the team and it was great to see us win three out of four games.

Our first basketball game was against Ivanhoe Grammar. It was our first game together, and in the end, that was the deciding factor in our loss; we didn’t know each other well. Ivanhoe ultimately got the better of us, beating us 16-42. Nevertheless, Jono put up a great first game to give us something to be happy with. Our second game of the season was a great matchup against Peninsula Grammar. This time we were at home and playing our second game together. Our chemistry began to blossom and, in the end, we got the win, 23-17, with an outstanding performance from Shaya and Lachy. In our third game of the season, we had the momentum coming off our win from the previous week, but this time we were up against Trinity. The game started off quite evenly but, in the end, a strong performance from Matt and Arian got us over the line. We won 24-18. And finally, in the last game of the season, we had a very competitive match against Mentone. We had just won back-to-back games, but in the first half we did not show up, leaving us with a big gap to close in the second half. We started the second half strong but careless passes and bad shot selection made it a challenge. As we started to close the gap, they stormed off to victory, defeating us 13-35. However, Josh and Rhys put in a great effort.

The 7C Mitre and Crest teams both enjoyed successful seasons and there is plenty of strength and depth in the Year 7 cohort. 7C Mitre showed a huge amount of team work on and off the court and managed to win three out of four of their AGSV matches. Marcus Lu, Aidan Lau and Nate Seow all played well in attack and defence. Tom Robinson’s height was also a great advantage in defence. However, the overwhelming strengths of the team were the spirit, effort and determination shown by every single member of the squad. 7C Crest also improved greatly throughout the season. Max Pearce, Kristofer Vos-Rutter and Luke Tavenor all made significant contributions, but all of the players deserve great credit for their efforts throughout the season. The game against Trinity will be remembered as despite leading 23-12 at half time, Trinity managed to score the winning points with only one second remaining on the clock. Thank you to the coaches for their efforts throughout the season and to the parents who supported the team each week.

Mr Mark Mews Teacher in Charge

The First XI Cricket team had a reasonably successful season finishing with three wins, five losses and one unfortunate wash-out. Coming off a successful end to the last year, the boys were determined to make a push for finals this season. The season started with a tough loss against Trinity, who ended up playing off in the Grand Final. The next round was a loss against Mentone, who ended up being one of the strongest teams in the competition. Determined to bounce back, the boys had a great performance against semifinalists Assumption, winning comfortably by four wickets. After another disappointing loss against premiers PEGS and a wash-out against Peninsula, the group rallied together and had a stunning performance against Ivanhoe, managing to defend 147. Needing to win the last two games to make the finals, Camberwell suffered a bitterly disappointing loss against Marcellin in the penultimate round, falling three runs short of the target of 113 after a late batting order collapse. As tough as this loss was to swallow, our heads were held high as we faced Yarra Valley the next week. In one of the all-time great bowling performances, Connor Laird took 6-29 off 10 to help bowl Yarra out for 122. As usual, Jordan McCleery batted with intent to make 43 off 42 balls to guide

Camberwell home to an incredible win. Although we did not make the finals this year, the signs for the future are exciting. With Connor Laird only being in Year 10 and taking 20 wickets for the year and Jordan McCleery entering his last year of school cricket averaging 44 with the bat, the coming years look to be extremely successful ones. With the farewell of our coach of six years, Mr Richard Clifton, Camberwell introduced our new head coach Mr Clint Hillas. A huge thank you to our assistant coaches Mr Sofoulis and Mr Robinson and Mr Clint Hillas for their incredible help throughout the year and of course our head coach Mr Richard Clifton for all the hard work and dedication he has displayed in his years as coach.

Captain

The season was a huge success for all boys ranging from Year 8 to 12. Throughout the summer, four players were selected for the First XI team, having started in the Seconds and another four forced their way into the team; including Simon Lewison who ended up doing a sterling job as captain. The season highlights included a nail-biting win against Assumption, a grinding win away at Ivanhoe and finishing the season with a convincing win against Yarra Valley. There were a number of disruptions, including two disappointing washouts following promising starts. Our sole Year 12 Lewis ‘Binga’ Matthews capped-off his cricket representation at Camberwell with another fantastic season and was awarded the ‘Coaches Award’ for his reliable and incredibly loyal contributions to the team. The MVP Award went to Mitch Horn following his tremendous efforts with bat, ball and leadership. All players should be commended for the intent and purpose that they practised through the season and especially for the mateship and integrity that they displayed toward each other on and off the field. Sincere thanks to parents, grounds staff (Mr Regan Davis and Mr Laurie Foster), Mr Lachlan Crawford and Ms Sally White for allowing us to have such an enjoyable season. A special mention to Mr Richard Clifton for his service to cricket at Camberwell.

Mr Troy Stanley Teacher in Charge

The Third Cricket team enjoyed a great season this summer, making it thoroughly enjoyable on and off the field. While having three different year levels within the team, we gelled together quite well.

The two standout highlights from the season were in round 2 and 3 against Trinity and PEGS, both games were won on the last ball of the match. Against Trinity, the opposition needed two runs to win off the last ball and we defended, and it and with PEGS they needed two to win off the last ball and we made it.

The most consistent player throughout the summer season was Dan Sunderland leaving him with the Most Valuable Player for the season. Ki Herold received the coaches award for always being committed to the team week in and week out.

The seasons end found us with three wins, four losses and one draw. Thanks to Mr Alex Henry for running training sessions and coaching/umpiring on Saturdays and to Dan for captaining the team.

The Intermediate A Cricket team being dominant in previous years had big aspirations for the 2020 season. However, the year began with more loses than wins. With the team’s back against the wall at the mid-season point there were still big aspirations from all team members to finish strong. The captain Will Lombardi stood out in many games batting and bowling very well to set the standard for the rest of the season.

In addition to Will’s performance, there were some great batting numbers put up by Thomas Newman in the backend of the season followed by some really consistent bowling from Thomas Wong. Most improved was Charlie Leong who put a lot of time and effort throughout the year to improving his game especially focusing on his bowling.

A late injury in the final rounds of the season to star Harry Watson affected the team but they managed some great wins later in the season. The boys finished the season with two wins out of the nine games, however three of the games were draws due to wash outs.

If the team stays together in future years anything is possible for this group which is full of potential and skills.

The Intermediate B Cricket team was unable to register a win this season, coming up against some very formidable competition. Even though the competition was very challenging, they were very well led by their captain Freddy Branson (Coach’s award). The Most Valuable Player was Will Kruse.

Mr James Kalfas Teacher in Charge

The 8A Cricket team had a successful season winning the majority of games. The team had to negotiate some wet Saturdays as well. We were very privileged to be coached by Mr Craig Conlan and Mr Ben Lawler. With Hugh Cran and Josh Cooper’s deadly quick pace scaring most batsmen and taking consistent wickets from opening to the tail of the innings the team had great success. Luke Cariss-Brett and Izaan Imran consistently contributed taking multiple wickets per game. Top order batting by Michael Chen and Oliver Lowe often proved a successful partnership scoring lots of runs. This included a 40 not out by Oliver. Zac Matters and Lachie McGowan often steadied the batting and their patience assisted the team to score defendable totals. Domenic Bozzone’s aggressive batting skills also contributed to increasing the run rate through the middle order. The 8A Cricket team played very well together, finishing the season with a nailbiter against Trinity.

Captain

The 8B Cricket team were newly formed in 2020 and completed three matches winning two of these. Led by Flynn Parker and Edward Hare the boys enjoyed the abbreviated season and played with determination and enthusiasm. Highlights of the season included everyone having the opportunity to bat or bowl and the improvement of the skills was clearly evident. The team included Declan Collett, Sebastian Kamleshwaran, Sabir Singh, Darren Li, Minh Tran and, Year 7 boys, Payan Kolah, Charles Taliadoros, Kurt Zvirbulis who all contributed at various stages in our matches. Thanks to Tom Graves, who coached the boys brilliantly.

Teacher in Charge

Fifteen students were selected to train with the 7A Cricket team for the extremely short, four game season which included a bye. Due to numerous circumstances falling our way, the KAO was available and the 7A team were scheduled to play on the school oval where the eleven boys selected began their school career against Ivanhoe Grammar.

Consistent performances with the bat included Angus Rynne, Daniel Teele, Adam Li and Sam Grlj who enabled the team to post winnable totals. They were ably supported by the middle and lower order when required. Bowlers James Webb (Captain), Saveen Seneviratne and Cameron Holmes were able to keep the ball straight and full. This made it incredibly difficult for any opposition team to score freely throughout their innings. Our two keepers, Jacob Lewis and Adam Li, shared the duty each game and both provided positive encouragement to the team when we were in the field.

Congratulations to the 7A boys for beginning their Camberwell Grammar School sporting career with two convincing wins from three games played. I would like to thank our assistant coach, Mr James Melville (Old Boy 2018) for his valuable input and guidance he provided the group throughout the season.

Coach

There was a palpable sense of enthusiasm and excitement at the outset of a short, but sweet season of cricketing. Most of the team arrived as new students in Term 1 and would play their very first games on behalf of their secondary school. During the four matches, they amply revealed their skills at batting and bowling, not to mention their camaraderie and commitment; so much so that they lost three times by only the narrowest of margins, and, at a fourth time, were just on the point of winning a game when it was, frustratingly, interrupted by adverse weather!

Mr Samuel Gough Teacher in Charge

The Camberwell Grammar Cricket Development squad played two day matches against Ivanhoe Grammar and Trinity. The team was selected from the boys in Year 7 and 8 who have displayed exceptional ability during their AGSV matches. We were successful in both 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. The boys receive intensive coaching from Mr Mark Freeman, our Development Coach, to build on their strengths, and also to build a winning philosophy and team spirit. Many thanks to Mr Freeman for his expert advice and direction during the season.

The Development Squad this season were:

Year 9: William Stamper, William Lombardi, Harry Watson, Lachlan Harker, Tom Newman, and Nic Graves

Year 8: Luke Cariss-Brett, Hugh Cran, Josh Cooper, Harrison Car, Oliver Lowe, Matthew Hoyling, Izaan Imran, Michael Chen, Zac Matters

Year 7: James Webb, Sam Grlj, Mitchell Hedley, Adam Li, Angus Rynne, Joshua Taylor, Daniel Teele

In the summer season of 2019/2020, the Camberwell Grammar School Golf Squad continued their training at Kew Golf Club, under the coordination of Mr Teri Miriklis and coaching professional, Ben Jewell. This year the Golf Squad said goodbye to a lot of old members, but also said hello to many new faces. The squad has members with varying skill levels however we all managed to improve our golf skills through hard work in training.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we did not have any AGSV golf competitions this year. However, prior to the finishing of this golf season, we played quite a few games of Ambrose against ourselves on select Wednesdays and Sundays, from which we benefitted greatly by having a chance to put our skills into a real game.

Having been in the squad for four years now, I have seen the Golf Squad go through many changes, growing from a small group of seven players to the squad we are today. I am privileged to be part of this group that I have learnt so much from and I am very sure it will continue to prosper in the future.

The Orienteering squad went into the 2019/2020 season with high hopes, promising athletes and a hunger for the title, one Camberwell Grammar had seen only once since 1992, in 2016. Optimistic that we might take home the 2020 title, we knew there would be hard work required.

Despite the Monday afternoon and early Thursday morning training being grueling for many, the prospect of post event lollies on Wednesday nights provided further encouragement for every team member to perform his best. Camberwell dominated the field, taking home the title, by a huge margin, nearly 300 points or a third in points away from the closest competition, Scotch College, who had held the title every year, bar two. The squad’s success reflects the hard work put in by each and every team member, teachers Dr Rodgers, Mr Wilson and Mr Williamson and assistant Nick Lee.

All members of the Orienteering squad should be commended for their hard work and unwavering commitment. Among the incredible team success there were also individual members of the team who should be congratulated for their personal success; such as Luke Burton and Henry Shirrefs who tied for first place in the B division, a course which requires participants run 6-8 kilometers per event! Furthermore, Ben Price achieved first place in the C division; an impressive feat considering the fierce competition. Finally, in the D division, Matt Rodier was rewarded for his efforts with first place and Ken Weeraratne for his with third place. As team captain I would like to personally congratulate the team as a whole for making this season so great as we look forward to Camberwell’s future success!

Captain

It was a season of success and evolution for the CGS Kayaking team in 2019/2020. With a strong coaching staff in place, including Head Coach Mr Logan Dutton, Ms Olivia Kurczycki, Mr Callum Gosbell and Ms Jasmine Kennan, we began training for the big event pre-Christmas, the Ben Ward 40 miler race in Cobram. Our boys had some difficult but necessary training sessions in the lead up to this prestigious event. Over the course of the weekend, some of our boys would paddle over 40km in one day and participate in an 8km race the next, a grueling task for even the most experienced paddlers. Our boys were fantastic during this event, paddling with power and technique as they showed the competition just how strong we were going to be throughout the Summer.

We returned from the summer break eager to build upon what had been a great start to the season. Some minor changes were made to the program in an attempt to increase efficiency, strength and confidence in the boys, as the competitions were only going to become fiercer. Our first competition took place on the Barwon River in Geelong for the State Marathon Championship, where we saw some fantastic performances from many of our paddlers, but none were more impressive than our first-year paddlers, for whom this was their first competition. Each of them put in a big effort and were fantastic in their resolve. In what would end up being our final competition for the season, we headed to Nagambie for the State Sprint Championship, where our paddlers would have a chance to show off their new found strength and confidence, highlighted by some of our stronger paddlers jumping in a K4, a marquee event for kayakers.

I would like to take this time to thank the coaches for their tireless efforts in improving the skills of our paddlers, Mr Jay Ellis for working with the boys every Wednesday in the gym, Our captain Mr William Murray for his ongoing commitment to making the program the best it could be, Mr George Wakefield for towing the boats to all of the competitions and the Friends of Kayaking group for their efforts in fundraising and assisting the coaches and myself with everything that we need to succeed. I look forward to another enjoyable season and encourage anyone interested in the sport to come down and give it a try.

The Camberwell Grammar Lawn Bowls squad had an enjoyable season and we were pleased to welcome many new students into the sport.

We played a number of matches in the AGSV competition. The A team finished second overall in the competition and were invited to play in the AGSV vs APS competition which was unfortunately cancelled. The team – Elijah Pannozzo, William Cook, Hieu Tran and Kristian Bite – worked collaboratively as a group and were always encouraging of each other and the newer players. Their high level of skill and often dominating position through the season was not rewarded in the knock-out finals round but we are pleased to see them return for the 2021 season.

The Year 9-12 team narrowly missed out on a finals spot. Tony Chen was skip for most matches but Felix Brown and Mitchell Xiao filled in ably, as needed.

In the Year 8 team, Eamon Wan kept control of a boisterous and large roster and was often able to save ends singlehandedly with his shots. All members saw increased focus and improvement over the season and much fun was had.

The Year 7 team pulled off wins against much older players and continually showed enthusiasm and determination. James Mills acted as skip and became increasingly confident at directing his fellow players.

At the start of the season we farewelled Mr Michael Cody who has been the Teacher in Charge since 2005. We thank him for his service and dedication (and bus--driving) in this role for all those years, and he will be missed.

Teacher in Charge

The 2019/2020 season proved to be another magnificent year of squash for Camberwell Grammar students, with all students eager to play and develop their skills. The squad had a total of four teams spread across three divisions. To the four Year 12 players, we thank you for your service and commitment over the years, particularly to the boys who have been playing since Year 7.

The First team fought fiercely throughout the season, emerging victorious as the winners of their division. Special mentions to the younger players in the team, Kai Sapolu and Jake Ford, who both stepped up and proved to be invaluable members of the team. The Second team fought hard throughout their season, managing to secure fifth place on the ladder. Special mentions are due to Angus Bosmans, who remained undefeated throughout the whole season. The Third and Fourth teams did extremely well, with many of the boys making a debut to their squash career. Congratulations to all boys for their efforts during the season.

Training was conducted by the Squash coach Mr Phillip Howe, who helped the boys refine their skills in their serve volleys, drives, cross-courts, boasts and general gameplay tactics. The boys were also lucky enough to hear Phil play some tunes on his guitar at the annual squash pizza lunch.

Many thanks to Mr Burke and Mr Duong who helped with coordinating the teams and for their constant, positive support. Best of luck to all the boys competing in the 2020/2021 season!

With the departure of Daniel Ho and Thomas Coulter from the Camberwell First Table Tennis squad, the team looked to extend the AGSV premiership winning streak to six years in a row. The squad was supplemented with a mix of older and younger players, from Joshua Soo to Justin Kwan, and Aidan Tang and Callum Ling joining in training sessions.

With this goal in mind, the boys determinedly trained every Monday and Wednesday morning under the guidance of Joe Gerada. Attention to detail and focus being maintained for every shot was the name of the game during the training sessions and it paid off tremendously for the boys in their technical game, which allowed them to have an edge over their opponents week-in and week-out. Although the morning trainings were very taxing, all the players coped well with the support of one another and this tightened the fellowship of the team members, something that is a lot more valuable and long-lasting than the results obtained every Saturday match.

During this AGSV Summer Season, the competition was as fierce as ever, which can often be overshadowed by the deceiving results at the end of the week. Many tight five setters were played out, and even the three setters and four setters were not won without their share of challenges. With the concerted effort of all team members, the squad was able to remain undefeated this season and maintained their hold of the AGSV cup for the sixth year in a row, defeating arch nemesis Trinity in the Grand Final with a resounding 15-0 rubbers victory!

In this final, which would sadly mark the last game that five ‘veteran’ members of the team would take part in for Camberwell Grammar, all players performed admirably and carried themselves out in good spirits. Special mention goes to ViceCaptain Ethan Tang who had to win both of his single matches through tight and tough five setters, one of which was a comeback from being 2-0 down. Despite the stressful and tight games he played, he was determined to not give up and came away with narrow, hard fought and well-deserved wins. The grit and determination he displayed I am sure will inspire those younger in the team to do likewise in the future. Along with Ethan, the service and contribution of departing squad members Nathan Shi, Bryden Tan, Sam Kabourakis and Christian Ling has been invaluable over the years and their legacy leaves a deep hole to be filled for the next generation of hot shots, some that are in the squad and those yet to come.

In appreciation of Mr Smith’s constant support and guidance over the years, the boys decided to present him with a bat with all of their signatures on it in remembrance of the 2020 First Table Tennis squad and, hopefully, to improve his game on the table! As I reflect on my involvement in Table Tennis, I take away many fond memories and it has been an honour to captain this squad for the past two seasons. With good reason Table Tennis at Camberwell Grammar is held in high regard, and I look forward to this culture being carried on and look forward to following the success of the squad in the years to come.

Captain

The Second Blue Table Tennis team had a successful 2019/2020 summer season with eight out of eight wins throughout the competition. Camberwell presented as a highly skilled and determined team. Special mentions go to Jayden Thai, Hamish Wong, Joshua Soo and Ilian Aendenroomer. All-in-all, the Camberwell Second Blue team played a fantastic season of Table Tennis with everyone contributing to its success.

The Second Gold Table Tennis team had an amazing 2019/2020 season with students demonstrating skills and developing strong teamwork. The hard training paid off with the team winning six out of eight games. All players did their best over the whole season, with notable players being Benjamin Cheng, Christos Kalas, Oscar Cheung, Bharat Manikoth, Daniel Duong and Michael Barry. In comparison to other seasons this was the one of most successful by far.

The Second Mitre Table Tennis played exceptionally well in this summer season, seeing four out of eight games won, an excellent effort from the team. All boys played with enthusiasm and consistency, dropping very few rubbers overall. Special mentions go to Weihan Zhou, David Du, Jackson Li, Lingming Hu, Matt Dunne, Oscar Wong, Ryan Park and Alastair Joshi for their outstanding plays.

Ms Emily Wang Teacher in Charge

The Year 9 and 10 Division 1 Table Tennis team of Ashton Lu, Mathieu Ly, Brendan Tse, Charles Lewis, Finn Mahaffy, Oliver To, Rick Kovos and Nathan Zhang played another magnificent season, undefeated and often winning their matches 15–0. Training with the Firsts of a Monday morning certainly set them a new challenge, with many aspiring to move into that esteemed squad in the not too

distant future. Special thanks to Joe, our motivational and encouraging Coach whose help and support has been invaluable. An excellent effort from the entire team, who remained assured and committed throughout the 2019/2020 season.

Teacher in Charge

This summer, the Camberwell Division 2 Blue Table Tennis team had a good season. The team had its ups and downs against Trinity, PEGS and Yara Valley, but everyone had a fun and exciting time. During this season, everyone in the team trained very hard and improved a lot. Everyone demonstrated skills and developed very good teamwork. All players did their best for the entire season.

The Camberwell Division 2 Gold team had many good times throughout this season. The boys enjoyed competing with other schools on Saturdays and had fun playing with each other in the training. They put great effort in training which has been shown in their development of skills. The enthusiasm and resilience that the boys have demonstrated in the games are a true reflection of Camberwell values. This season, the Camberwell Division 2 Mitre team tried their very best, and everyone in the team enjoyed training and playing games against other schools. At the beginning, they struggled as a whole, and some were even not clear about the rules of the game, but everyone has had great improvement by the end of the season. They believe that their goal is not only to defeat the opposing schools, but also to defeat their former selves.

Teacher in Charge

In the 2019/2020 season, Camberwell fielded a total of seven teams; by far the most of any school in the competition. We began the season with strong performances from our First and Second teams, who finished the year undefeated after four rounds.

In 2020 we welcomed 13 new players from Year 7, making a total of 32 players in our squad. Our new players quickly learned the routines of training and the rules of competition. While most new players begin their playing career in the lower ranked teams, it was pleasing to see several of our Year 7 players (Callum Ling, Nicholas Branson, Louie Fei and Wilson Sha) rise quickly in the rankings and perform well in our top three teams.

In the second half of the season, our First and Second teams continued to play well, both winning four of the remaining five rounds, to finish with eight wins each from nine competitions. Our other teams achieved mixed results, and while they are not generally expected to win against higher ranked opposition, it was very pleasing to see Team 6 win three out of their four competitions. Our top-ranked and best performing player for the season was Joel Cheok. Included in our top 5, in rank order (with percentage of wins), were Michael Huang (96%), Callum Ling (89%), Jayden Yap (86%) and Nicholas Branson (89%). We would like to thank our coach, Mr Joe Gerada, for his firm but friendly coaching style and his ability to bring out the best in our players throughout the season. We bid farewell to our Year 8 players and wish them every success as they move up to the Year 9 and 10 teams next season. We encourage our Year 7s to continue their training, to hone their skills and increase their knowledge of the game in preparation for the 2020-2021 season.

This year was the squad’s sixth year. Training commenced at the start of Term 4 and culminated in March 2020. During this period, most Jeja (students) completed two gradings, with the novices obtaining their 8th Gup (Yellow Belt with two stripes) and the longest continuing members achieving their Red Belts and the most senior among them attaining their 1st Gup, the level before full black belt. kicks, patterns poomsea and self-defence techniques. After several weeks training and practice they were graded and progressed on to the next belt level. Senior belts worked on continually improving their basic techniques, as well as learning more difficult and advanced patterns, skills and self-defence techniques.

The improvement seen within the squad led to an outstanding conclusion to the summer season. The Squad greatly appreciates the support provided by Mr Barry Akehurst (6th Dan Black Belt) and the Teacher in Charge and Assistant Coach Mr Hamish Green (2nd Dan Blackbelt). We would especially like to acknowledge the assistance of Mr Andrew Warne, who stood in for Mr Green while he was on long service leave. The Squad looks forward to consolidating its achievements next year.

Mr Hamish Green Teacher in Charge

The First VIII Tennis team had a successful season, qualifying for the finals after a series of strong results throughout the season. The season started with an upset loss to Trinity, some inclement weather and unfamiliar courts contributing to an unsettling season opener. Singles wins to Matthieu Gibert, Isaac Hui and Andy Lee were highlights, and set a benchmark for the team to emulate in future matches. Three more rounds were played in 2019, resulting in three wins, including wins against Mentone and PEGS, two teams that Camberwell has not recorded success against for more than five years. The dominance of the doubles pairings was telling in these matches. In particular, Lachlan O’Neill and Andy Lee were virtually unstoppable, combining flair and perseverance in equal measure. Of the four scheduled matches in 2020, two were washouts, and so with four wins and two losses for the season, Camberwell faced Peninsula in an eagerly anticipated semi-final match. The match was close fought, but with four tie-break losses, Camberwell succumbed to the season’s eventual premiers. All the boys performed well and worked hard to develop their skills throughout the season. Matthieu Gibert took on the responsibility of the number 1 position and performed well, being named as reserve in the ASGV representative team. Isaac Hui played at number 2 and won an impressive 86% of his matches, solidifying the top order. Alex Wilson-Brown was diligent in his attendance at development squad and has, for two years as Captain, been an excellent role model for those younger players aspiring to make the First team. The boys would like to acknowledge and thank the efforts and dedication of Mr Peter Owen for his tireless commitment to developing this team to be a squad that are legitimate contenders in every match they play.

Teacher in Charge

The Second Tennis team had another successful season under the managerial watch of Ms Crockett, an incarnation of Ash Barty, with the team only losing one match throughout the duration of the season. The team was full of great competitors including Wilson Zhu, who loved the marathon matches and the odd drop-shot, as well as the Riley Smith and Zach Lewis often putting up top-quality gameplay. The team was strengthened from top to bottom with the consistent leading pair of Nick Clark and Sean Liu, followed by the ever dominant ‘Bryan Bros’ combination of Nick Wade and Tom Georges and their not so dominant chest bumps. The team was assisted by the always winning, quiet achievers of Tom Ng and Matthew Wu, as well as the outgoing Rilee Younger, who sent the ball flying when his racquet was not. Overall, the Second’s Tennis team had a successful year and thank the leaving Year 12s for their duty.

This team was outstanding in every respect. Not only undefeated throughout the season but maintaining a sensational win loss ratio that boosted them to the upper reaches of the Arthurs Cup table. The high level of skills on display was matched by the impressive sportsmanship and courtesy shown in each match. Of particular note was our MVP, Mitchell Norman, who played with positivity and excellence in the number one ranked position. Rhys Denison was rightly awarded the Coach’s Award for his enthusiastic attitude coupled by his friendly demeanour. Another highlight was witnessing the comradery that had been established in the six-year combination in Doubles competition from Khalid Abbas and Kosta Froutzis. All players performed to the best of their ability and should be proud of their achievements.

Mr Rick Mason Teacher in Charge

The Third Gold Tennis team enjoyed a very successful season recording six wins and just two defeats. Players approached matches with poise, and many showed pleasing improvement throughout the season. Throughout the season, players become more considered in their match play, recognising the benefit that came from percentage tennis together with the importance of placement ahead of brute force. Our early morning training sessions usually saw energy levels increase, albeit off a fairly low base at the 7.00am commencement of training! I would like to acknowledge and applaud the player on their approach to matches, their sportsmanship and on-court respect to each other and their opponents was commendable.

Mr Roger Devine Teacher in Charge

It was a magnificent season for the Third Mitre Tennis team, winning every Saturday for the entire season.

The team thoroughly enjoyed weekly training sessions with expert coaches from Top Ten and always came to every game with enthusiasm and determination to do their best.

The team members that played every shot with focus were Rory Wheelhouse and Zac Davidson. Both boys were quiet achievers, always in control making very close calls, bringing home a win every time! Rory brought two challenges very close in his singles, winning by one and playing very close in points! Another moment highlighted was Zac’s drive to not let the team down but continuing to play despite feeling unwell, bringing home a very convincing win 6/0!

Another mention goes to Nicholas Lathouras for his consist approach to play, never being rattled despite the pressure and always providing support to his teammates!

Our last game for the season against Yarra Valley was very close defeating six out of eight in the singles and two all in the doubles, making it 8/4. The boys pushed with the games, 54 to 45.

Three cheers to the Thirds Mitre for being undefeated and winning every week by double points in set and games!

Ms Marita Kelly Teacher in Charge

The Fourth Blue Tennis players enjoyed many friendly training sessions where they exhibited a fine display of sportsmanship and solidarity throughout the season. Training at 7.00am often resulted in some wet and cold early morning sessions which required of the boys for some amount of devotion with a number of sessions being cancelled due to rain.

Throughout the season the team frequently found tough competition in singles matches, particularly against Ivanhoe Grammar School. In the doubles games by contrast, the boys’ teamwork often gave them a slight advantage; the results were 56:43 with eight games to four in Camberwell’s favour. It was pleasing to see that the team did not give up in the face of adversity and always displayed much enthusiasm and positivity each week.

An outstanding display of courage and comradeship was exuded by every player throughout the entire season, which was most notably evident from some extremely close encounters against Yarra Valley Grammar School.

Mr Ryan Thomson Teacher in Charge

The Fourth Gold team had by most measures a very successful season, winning every match bar one and one washed out. Nevertheless, made to battle and eke out these victories, the team played some scintillating tennis and showed great spirit and camaraderie, and above all good sportsmanship through it all. Steady and stoic leadership was provided by James Growse, and consistent performances from MVP Tristan van Koert and Coach’s Awardee Connor Kovos carried the season for us. The boys had lots of fun in the Friday training sessions as well as on match days. Special mention to the Year 12s as they bid farewell to Summer Sports at Camberwell Grammar.

It was, to say the least, an indifferent season for the Fourth Mitre Tennis boys. It took until the final rubber played at home at Koonung, for the boys to score a victory. Ahhh! Then there is forfeit rule. This meant that an undermanned Ivanhoe team had to give Camberwell Grammar School valuable, and much needed points. Ably lead by Max Taylor, appointed as Captain, the team played with sportsmanship and honesty for the entire season. They may not have won many rubbers but they seemed to enjoy themselves.

Teacher in Charge

Like a celebrity cook-off on Master Chef, the 2019/2020 tennis season had a bit of everything. From washouts to sunny summer mornings. From the En-Tout-Cas courts in Deepdeene to the carpark at Penleigh Grammar. And from thrashings to being thrashed it was a season that tested the resolve and at times patience of the 10A Tennis boys. But through it all, each boy played with spirit, skill and support and showed growth in their tennis game and confidence. And while results do not mean everything, it is fair to say the Camberwell Grammar boys finished the season well and truly on the positive side of the ledger. Bravo!

Teacher in Charge

Dr Moses Khor Teacher in Charge

The 2020 season started slow for the 10B Tennis team. It was at times, difficult to maintain motivation as poor weather and cancellations loomed close. The boys pushed through under the less than ideal conditions. Irrespective of wins and losses, the team remained in high spirits and modelled good sportsmanship through the season. 10B were sure to congratulate their teammates and each other. They trialled several doubles partnerships to identify the best duos. Colin Jiang performed consistently in his doubles and singles games and walked away with the title of MVP. Hayden Wong displayed his commitment to training, always remaining positive and enthusiastic. He well and truly earnt the Coach’s Award. Thank you to all the boys from the B team who stepped in and contributed to a successful season of tennis.

Teacher in Charge What a wonderful experience it has been for the 10C Tennis team. The team has been able to improve their skills, play against teams in various ranking positions within the team, as well as having the opportunity to play matches in various conditions. The team experienced wind, cold, rain and very hot balmy mornings. All of this enable the team members to bond together and support each other. It was especially encouraging seeing all team members not only encourage each other on court but consistently being punctual to early bus departures from Mont Albert Rd, some as early as 6.45am. Never did I hear a student complain, not once. I was proud of each and every student of the team and many times the students were positive about just being altogether and the overall result was secondary. Well done to all the students, it was delightful being a small part of the team.

Teacher in Charge The 9A Tennis team had a strong finish to the season, with many outstanding wins across the 2019/2020 season. Even in some particularly trying conditions, where rain and the elements threatened to force a washout, the team persevered in good spirits until the very last moment.

Players of note included James Ciro and Thomas Cross, who proved to be consistent team players throughout the season. In addition, Sam Keenan, Cooper Lewis, Jacob Clark, James Ciro and Daniel Stephen all had the good fortune to take at least one singles set without losing a game throughout the season.

Finally, the Captain of the team Darcy Albert, had the good fortune to play for the First team several times during the season, gaining some valuable experience.

Mr Alastair Berg Teacher in Charge

The 9B Tennis team played a terrific season, always attending training and Saturday matches with a positive attitude and willingness to work as a team. The boys experienced a fantastic season winning eight out of the nine Saturday matches, with only one loss against PEGS in round 4. In training, the team participated well and appreciated the efforts put in by the coaches over the course of the season. There were some resounding wins against Yarra Valley, Ivanhoe, and Penninsula with Freddie Askew the team’s captain always putting in a great performance week in and week out and in Round 6 of the season Freddie did a tremendous job of addressing all teams present – celebrating the 100 years of AGSV Saturday sport. Other notable members of the team were Billy Booth, Erik Simo-Orgonas, Gabriel Guorgi, Andrew Hare along with Isaac Lin who always provided consistently solid performances. Thank you to all the boys in the 9B team who contributed to such a successful season of tennis.

The 9C Blue Tennis team had a successful season of games and the students showed consistent eagerness to improve their skills and game play strategies. Unfortunately, a small number of games were cancelled due to inclement weather, but the boys took the opportunity to excel when matches went ahead, winning four of the six games played. They also had a tightly contested match against the 9C Gold team finishing equal on sets won, but just losing out when the number of games won was calculated.

They had strong wins against Ivanhoe and Trinity Gold to round off the season and there were stand out performances from Haydn Bourke, Roy Fleming and Ebyn Chan. However, all students in the team are to be congratulated for their efforts this year and they can be proud of their dedication and high level of sportsmanship.

Teacher in Charge

Being the first time the 9C team was split, the 9C Gold team was excited to start a great season. And a great season it was for the team. The iconic duo of Richard Liu and Justin Lu were able to go undefeated in their doubles matches. Connor Inston also had a strong season playing as the number one doubles player with Alex Harris playing well along with him. The team had many close matches that came down to just a single game, and the team was also able to smash many opponents. Despite Ms Mandusic having never coached tennis before the team was able to have a strong performance overall.

The 8A Tennis team was a high achieving group who lost only one match during their entire season, which was only by two games against a very strong PEGS side. It was a valiant effort that went right down to the wire.

During training the team was focused, organised and disciplined. Their hard work was evident in their strong performances each week with consistent improvements made among all members.

All the team members were excellent with some absolute stand out players who consistently won their matches every week but remained humble and always showed exemplary sportsmanship.

However, the greatest strength of this team was its depth. It became a regular challenge deciding who would play in the top eight and in what order.

Overall a fantastic team that performed exceptionally all season in whatever conditions they were facing.

Teacher in Charge

The 8B team played an excellent season, with a steady demonstration of growth collaboratively as well as personal achievements from individual players. As the season progressed, the teams’ tennis skills strengthened, with players prepared to try new techniques and strategies learned at training.

The boys demonstrated commitment with regular training and strong attendance at all games during the season. The sportsmanship and camaraderie were evident on the court as they played well, supporting and encouraging each other on and off the court. Congratulations on a strong finish. The 8C Tennis team played a good season this year, coming second overall to Ivanhoe Ridgeway. Everyone worked hard and collaborated well, and our tennis improved as the season went on. The team participated well in training, and everyone was eager to learn more. A special thanks to the coaches and Mr Cathcart for his guidance and unwavering support.

Once again, the 7A Tennis season experienced the extremes of Melbourne’s weather. Our initial grading day was beset by storms, yet at other times training took place under very hot and sunny skies. Regardless of the conditions, the team trained hard on Monday mornings and Wednesday afternoons, and many new friendships were formed.

Over the course of the season, the students focused on developing their ability to play doubles effectively in a variety of pairings. Displaying good sportsmanship and also handling the mental side of the game were other key areas of focus.

This year, Mattias Ho was awarded the MVP Award for his consistent efforts as our number 1 player. He often played against students who also represented their schools in the Firsts team. William Georges was the recipient of the Coach’s Award for his determination and persistence, which were particularly evident when he played his singles matches.

Teacher in Charge

After only brief trials and selection at the start of the school year, the first time the boys trained as a team they gelled well, showing good team spirit. They had a pleasing outing in the centennial weekend of the AGSV, wining against Ivanhoe seven sets to five. The fixture gave the boys a good indication of the skills that required their attention for the next match against PEGS and their training clearly had paid off as there was a noticeable improvement in the boys serving leading to some nicely sustained rallies. The drama of that second fixture was Oliver Ta, felled by a bee sting just as he finished his doubles match. Fortunately, he was fine and kudos to Harper Davidson for stepping up to play two singles matches to cover for Oli. This incident typifies the good sportsmanship the boys showed in their short season and although they did not win the final match of the season, they have shown great promise for their next Summer Sport season.

Teacher in Charge

MVP: Dylan Wong Coach’s Award: Simon Gao Played 4, won 1, lost 2, Bye 1

The first season of sport is always interesting and the boys of the 7C Gold Tennis team came together like champions. Mark Bishop was great in encouraging and including all his teammates whether it was during doubles or singles games. Alex Reale, Alex Liang and Alex Zhang being new to Tennis started off a little tentative but ended up finding the joy that can be had on the court. Hamish Wishart and Ethan Wang were players always keen to help and join in games when others were reluctant. Shilah Brown, Toby Sharrock and Lachlan Courmadias showed a competitive edge on the court, displaying sportsmanship always with their competitors. Samir Banerji demonstrated true passion for the sport and was always excited to play, always with a smile on his face. Wilson Zhou, MVP of the team, went undefeated for the entire season and showed great promise with his stellar serve. The team had a wonderful and competitive first season with results fluctuating from losing all straight sets to winning all straight sets and everything in between. One thing can be certain: Fun was had by all.

Mr Peter Zagarn Teacher in Charge

The 2019/2020 season was a very exciting one for the CGS Triathlon squad, with many new faces joining the ranks. The results and commitment from everyone, including the first timers in the squad has shown great promise for a very strong future for Camberwell in Triathlon.

The first race at Elwood took place in less than favourable conditions but gave very favourable results. Ryan Humphries took home the fastest Camberwell time in the Fun Tri distance, with a very impressive swim leg. Newcomers Marcus Liew and Elliot Fry also had a strong race, coming one after the other following a strong bike into a blistering headwind. Charlie Chun in his first sprint distance race also impressed with 24th from a race of 40 triathletes.

The second race in Sandringham took place in much nicer conditions, and despite the long transition run up the beach, many of our boys performed well. The overall fastest time was again Lucas Rodriguez but, in the water, he was beaten by six seconds by Ryan Humphries. Lucas was closely followed by Marcus, and only a couple of minutes behind were the more experienced Ben Gale, Thomas Kohne, and Freddy Askew. Debutant Ray He showed promise with a very strong swim as well.

The New Year was heralded in by the third race in the series, in St Kilda. Much credit goes to the boys who turned up to race despite being in the midst of summer holidays. In his first race in the squad, William Watson impressed with the fastest swim time posted by all of the boys. The older triathlete, Billy Swingler showed that experience pays off with a transition time 30 seconds faster than the rest of the field.

The fourth race in Elwood was preceded by a deluge, causing the water in the bay to be unsafe. The swim was consequently replaced by a run, much to the disappointment of the many talented swimmers in our squad. In their first races, older boys Harrison Haintz, Ben Carlisle and Lachie Harker showed promise with very solid runs. Marcus Liew once again took home top spot, this time putting over 90 seconds into all of the other boys, finishing with a very strong 16th. With the absence of a swim I was able to put up my own best finish of the season of 14th (just missing my 4min/k average!)

Not only did our boys race in the 2XU series, but many also participated in a locally hosted Aquathon Series at Boroondara Sports Complex. Year 7 student Joshua Carlin showed his strength in his very first event for the school, competing in the junior race. In the adult distance, Camberwell took home gold with Ryan Humphries combining his stellar swim with a markedly improved run. In the second Aquathon Lucas Rodriguez took second over my third in the open age division. In the final Aquathon, and as it turned out, the final event of the 201920 triathlon season, Camberwell took home more medals with Ray He taking second in the junior event, and Lucas continuing his strong form taking third in the adult event.

Unfortunately, amongst all the chaos and craziness of the Coronavirus crisis the remainder of the 2XU Triathlon Series was postponed until a decider race to occur in October 2020. However, this shortened season has shown that the Camberwell Triathlon squad has lots to look forward to as our young talent continues to train and grow stronger. I look forward to seeing everyone (and perhaps some new faces!) when we return to Triathlon training in Term 4!

Captain of Triathlon

The First VI Volleyball team had a successful season coming out the gates with a multitude of wins in the early rounds and being an undefeated team coming up to the finals. The team made the finals; however, the boys were unable to capitalise, losing to Yarra Valley Grammar in a heartbreaking five set loss ending the season off in fourth place. It was good to see the boys improve throughout the season through the guidance of Coach, Mr Liam Gibson and the leadership shown from Captain, Frank Bite and Vice-Captains, Ming Jin Low and Ethan Lack. The future looks bright for the First Volleyball team with strong players to make the team next season.

Captain

The season began with back to basics. Our first games were not good. Our enthusiastic Coach Mr Sean Kennedy, encouraged the boys to focus and soon the Blue team was

winning games. The confidence of both teams improved and soon winning was always a possibility. Volleyball is a great team sport and by the end of the season the boys were great mates and good sportsmen. Many thanks to our Old Boy Coach Sean Kennedy.

Rev Charles Butler Teacher in Charge

The 9/10 Volleyball season was one of the best in recent memory, not because of the wins recorded on Saturday mornings (there were only a handful), but because of our wonderful external coach,

Alexander. He made trainings both fun and instructive, and by the season’s conclusion, hardworking players like Cooper Carbone and Jamie Kohlmann had made immense improvement.

Teams are held together by their setters, and Nicolaas Bray,

Lucas Chan and Tim Howard performed this role wonderfully;

Akalanka Gunawardana stood out for his great leaping blocks and spikes, whilst Jordan Yang’s impressive serving kept the team in the match on a number of occasions. They were ably supported by veteran players and all-rounders Chris Huang,

Ebyn Chan and Timothy Phan, whilst newcomers Luke Alateras and Jimmy Wu made spirited efforts to master the key skills and contribute at every opportunity. Congratulations to all players on their hard work, optimistic spirit and, most importantly, on their unflagging support of one another.

Dr Tebb Kusserow Teacher in Charge

This season brought its share of ups and downs for both teams, but their finishes did every player immense credit. The skills development and cohesion that appeared in each team in the second half of the season was a credit to their hard work, their enjoyment of the game and to the coaching of Mr Raphael Morrissey. Among the highlights were wins against teams that had defeated Blue and Gold in the first half of the season, which gave the boys a real measure of their progress. While thanks go to the Captains of each team, the individual leadership and collaboration that emerged amongst the players really meant the that leadership was exercised is a noticeably democratic and supportive way. In closing, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of Year 8 players like Lucas Chin and Arthur Lau who contributed so much toward developing a spirit that reflected the values of the school.
