Extra-curricular activities

Music

Alongside having a large variety of stringed, brass and combined ensembles for various different proficiencies and age groups, Camberwell Grammar also has the Music Academy program, which replicates various elements of the Music Conservatorium model in order to support musicians throughout their musical journey during and after school. [7] The school holds a biannual concert at Hamer Hall including several ensembles from the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools.

Sport

Camberwell Grammar is one of the original member schools of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria (AGSV), [8] and won the organisation's inaugural Athletics competition in November of 1920. [9]

All students enrolled at Camberwell Grammar School participate in physical education classes, which are scheduled weekly. The school also offers students the opportunity to participate in the Sports Academy, [10] in which students with athletic talent are coached in small groups or individually to improve in their skills in their discipline outside of regular sporting activity times.

The school's sporting program requires all students enrolled in grades 7-12 to participate in organised sports, [11] in addition to physical education classes. The sports offered for students to participate in are grouped into Summer, Winter and Spring categories, as fits the AGSV schedule. [12] However, sports which are not organised by the AGSV run on separate timetables. This sees students participating in these activities year-round, whilst being required to be involved in at least two. However, the Spring sports offered are not compulsory like those in summer and winter.
