Moonlight Movie Night

CGGS community came together on the secondary school oval to enjoy the food, fun and games. Delicious food prepared by our amazing parent volunteers was offered and then guests settled in to watch the popular family movie Trolls Band Together under the stars.

The oval was buzzing with current students, siblings, and extended families, all enjoying the pre-movie festival. Among the various entertainments, the ever-popular “Guess the Lolly Jar” contest was won by Secondary School student Anna L in Year 8. Congratulations, Anna, and enjoy the sweets!

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a generous community. We received donations for the Cake Stall, Lucky Jar Stall, and prizes for the Duck Pond game. Special thanks to the Raydan/Abou Assi family for donating pizzas from Sofia Pizza Camberwell.

A big thank you also goes to the PFA Committee and the 100 parent volunteers who freely gave their time to ensure the Moonlight Movie Night was a huge success. We are pleased to announce the PFA generated approximately $6000 from this event. All proceeds will be directed back to the school for the benefit of all students.

Reunion Weekend

Last week, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming over 150 alum to celebrate a series of significant milestone reunions! On Friday evening, the Classes of 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 joyfully gathered to mark their 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25-year anniversaries, while on Saturday, the Classes of 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000 came together to celebrate their remarkable 40, 35, 30, and 25-year milestones.

Camberwell alum enjoyed nostalgic walks through the school grounds, reminiscing about their time at the School. Former classmates had the opportunity to reconnect and catch up on past years, browsing old yearbooks and photo albums whilst sharing memories and laughter.

It was always great to see alum who are current parents attend, and it was made even more special by the presence of current and former staff.
