  • House Shout rehearsals
  • Winter Sport wraps up
  • Serving our community
  • Looking ahead to 2027

In readiness for the iconic House Shout competition in Week 5, Chapel rehearsals were in full swing this morning, with plenty of energy and creative renditions of the likes of ABBA, Village People, Justin Timberlake, Smash Mouth and Elton John. Next Thursday, we invite the boys to come to school for the day wearing their House Polo with their PE uniform.

This weekend sees the final round of our Winter Season against Hale School. I wish all our sporting teams the very best for their final round and hope our Year 12 students enjoy their last opportunity to represent the blue and gold. It would be wonderful to see plenty of support at Hale School.

Congratulations to the Badminton boys who have secured the trophy, and fingers crossed the Hockey boys can secure a win and share the trophy with Hale. The Cross Country team finished in a very commendable second place, while the Soccer team will finish in third. We have been competitive in AFL this season, and it was wonderful to see five of our Year 12 boys run out with the Claremont Colts last weekend. Well done to all our students and Winter Sports staff on a fantastic Winter Season.

Tomorrow night, our Year 10 Anglicare Ambassadors will participate in the 2026 Anglicare WA School Sleep Out. The boys will show their support for young people experiencing homelessness this winter while raising vital funds for Street Connect, a service that works with young people on the streets of Perth to help them get their lives back on track. We thank the boys for their service to the community and their commitment to making a difference. We also extend our thanks to the wonderful staff, Tina de Klerk, Duane Nurse and Kim Rutland for their support.

Next week, Senior students will play an important part in selecting our 2027 student leadership team. On Monday and Tuesday, Year 10, 11 and 12 students will have the opportunity to vote for those Year 11 students who have nominated to become School Prefects. On Wednesday and Thursday, all students in the Senior School can vote for House Prefects within their respective Houses. At CCGS we place great importance on ‘Service Leadership’, encouraging our leaders to actively take on the responsibility of serving our community. I encourage all students to make an informed choice, conscious of the important role student leaders play in ensuring our school values are upheld and our routines run smoothly.

Next week also sees the opening of the Midnite Youth Theatre Company’s Senior Production, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. We wish all involved the very best for what promises to be an entertaining production. Purchase tickets here

Finally, a reminder that on Monday 17 August, after school, a courageous group of Year 12 students, along with a couple of staff members, will participate in the World’s Greatest Shave. They will be raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation to support families facing blood cancer and fund vital research. We encourage our community to support these students as they make this generous and inspiring commitment.
