Message from the Council President


I am hoping that everyone has heard the news by now and this rare message from me will not be a shock to you. After 15 years of selfless and excellent service to Camberwell High School, Elida Brereton has decided to retire from her position as Principal. Elida will be finishing her time at Camberwell High School at the end of the 2009 year. As I have said to Elida in a letter and personally, the school community can only feel appreciation for the time that Elida has given to us. She goes with our very best wishes and appreciation for all that has been achieved through her great leadership, integrity, warmth and direct communication.


There are going to be many opportunities for us to express our appreciation to Elida between now and the end of the year. Please take the opportunity to express your thanks for the mighty effort that our families and children have been the beneficiaries of. Some things in life leave an indelible impression. Camberwell High School under Elida’s leadership, and with the support of a wonderful staff, has done this for many people. As well as her leadership of Camberwell High School, Elida has played a leadership role in the Victorian education system which is widely recognised and acknowledged throughout the state.

 

Glenn Ryan
President CHS Council

At Camberwell High School we understand that choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. Parents and students are better prepared to make the choice once they have seen the school in action. Each year we provide opportunities for you to tour the school on a 'normal school day'.

 

To ensure that you have an opportunity to ask questions and gain the information you need to make an informed decision, we ask that you contact the school office on 9836 0555 to book a tour that is most convenient for you.

 

Our school tours are conducted fortnightly.  Tours leave from the Administration Office in the main front building at 9.00am and take around 45 minutes. 

 

Our next tours are:

  • Thursday 19th November
  • Wednesday 2nd December

 

In addition to tours the school holds an Open Evening each year in May. The school is open and in action in the evening. Many of our students volunteer to be tour leaders for Open Night and welcome the opportunity to show visitors around and to talk with pride about life at Camberwell High School.
