Camberwell Grammar School school is a ‘learning community’ and we encourage staff, students, past students and parents to involve themselves with its values. We are proud of the warm spirit that characterises our school family.
Camberwell Grammar School school has established a climate in which the potential for boys to achieve to the best of their ability is nurtured. In keeping with this, the school has established a strong tradition of high academic performance with an open entry policy.
We are also committed to the traditions of a rounded liberal education. Therefore the program encourages all students to develop themselves in a range of areas and activities whether they be academic, in the arts or on the sporting field. |

Students at Camberwell Grammar School are cared for as individuals with differing abilities, interests and goals. Skilled professionals work to further the self-esteem of each boy and his capacity to meet the rigorous demands of learning in an academic environment.
The pastoral care structure at Camberwell Grammar School focuses on the year group in the Junior and Middle Schools and the House system in the Senior School. At Year 9 each boy is assigned a Head of House and an individual tutor who usually remains constant during his secondary schooling. The system is practical, building a bridge of understanding between the boy, his family and the school.
