Camberwell Grammar School is an independent, Anglican, day school for boys, located in Canterbury, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Camberwell Church of England Grammar School was founded in 1886. In its early years, the school was housed in various mansions in and around the suburb of Camberwell, Victoria. It has occupied its present site on Mont Albert Road on Canterbury's Golden Mile, since the early 20th century. In 2006, it celebrated the 120th year anniversary of its establishment in 1886.
The school currently has 1200 students. The school is divided into three sections - Junior School (Prep - Year 5), Middle School (Year 6 - Year 8) and Senior School (Year 9 - Year 12).
House system
As with most Australian schools, Camberwell Grammar School utilises a house system. All students belong to one of eight houses. These houses are Bridgland (Sky Blue), Clifford (Orange), Derham (Red), Macneil (Yellow), Robinson (Green), Schofield (Magenta), Steven (Brown) and Summons (Dark Blue). Houses are used for co-curricular activities and competitions including debating, chess, drama, music, choir and sports. The house masters and tutors within each house are responsible for the discipline and pastoral care of each of the boys including health and sexual care.
Gallery of achievement
The Camberwell Grammar School Gallery of Achievement has been established to acknowledge and celebrate the success of generations of Old Camberwell Grammarians.
It is an on-going, evolving project, which aims to inspire current and future students to pursue excellence in a wide range of careers, community service and sport.
A detailed biography of each Old Boy will be included in a Gallery of Achievement Perpetual Book, to be held in the Camberwell Grammar School Development Office.
