Principal's Welcome

I am delighted to serve as the new Principal of Camberwell Grammar School, and I am looking forward to leading this extraordinary community into an exciting next chapter of educating young men to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

At Camberwell Grammar, we are committed to offering every student the best possible education to prepare them for life beyond school. As an independent Anglican day school for boys from Pre-Preparatory to Year 12, our mission is to nurture not only academic excellence but also the personal growth of each student.

Our community is caring, values-driven, and inclusive. We uphold a long tradition of respect, integrity, and a commitment to making a positive impact. Our core values of Learning, Respect, Integrity, Courage, and Optimism form the foundation of all we do. We strive to live these values every day, challenging assumptions, acting with honesty, and fostering respectful collaboration.

At Camberwell Grammar School, we aim to educate the whole student - nurturing not just their minds, but their character and their sense of responsibility to others. We want our students to be curious, resilient, and engaged in their communities, and we encourage them to participate fully in all aspects of school life, whether that is in the classroom, on the sports field, in the arts, or through co-curricular activities, students are urged to embrace every opportunity.

Founded in 1886, our school proudly upholds a rich tradition, while embracing innovation to meet the evolving needs of our students. Our students are supported by peers, mentors, and staff who are dedicated to helping them discover their passions and reach their full potential. By honouring the past while adapting to the future, we equip our students to make meaningful contributions that help shape the future of our changing world.

Our school is guided by the motto Spectemur Agendo—'By Our Deeds May We Be Known’ encouraging our students to act with integrity and to strive to be good men who contribute positively to the world.

I look forward to welcoming you to Camberwell Grammar School.
