History

The original buildings on Caulfield Campus's current site, c. 1910.

Caulfield Grammar School was founded on April 25, 1881 by the Reverend Joseph Henry Davies. It began with just nine pupils. Davies, who had been a missionary to India, bought the site for the school — a small lolly shop — for £25 on April 16, and employed his sister and two brothers as teachers. Davies' aim for Caulfield was "that the School should be a thoroughly Christian one" that looked to render "Christian service".^[1] Image File history File links Old_CGS.jpg Description Author:Unknown Date created: c. ...

The school, adjacent to the Ripponlea Railway Station, is believed to have been named Caulfield Grammar School because, although the geographical boundaries of Melbourne's suburban areas were not strictly defined or precisely named at the time, Caulfield was the regional locality. Also, Davies had been supported in opening the school by the vicar of St. Mary's Church in Caulfield,^[3] the church under whose auspices he later went abroad as a missionary, this time to Korea. Caulfield is a suburb of Australia, in the state of Victoria. ...

A year after it opened, enrolment increased to 32 boys.^[1] The school then moved to a small building nearby which could house the growing student body, but which was destroyed in 1890 in a fire.^[1] The school amalgamated with Hawksburn Grammar School, a smaller local Christian school, in 1896, after Hawksburn's headmaster, Walter Buntine, was appointed as Caulfield's headmaster; Hawksburn's 55 students subsequently transferred to Caulfield. The current site of the school was purchased in 1909 in what is now Glen Eira Road, St Kilda East, and built on a property near Sir Frederick Sargood's Rippon Lea Estate; classes began on the site on February 9, 1909, and the school's boarding house opened in 1912.^[1] St Kilda East is the name of an inner city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...

By 1931, the school's 50th anniversary, total attendance had grown to 500 students but Caulfield was still considered a small school compared to schools such as Xavier College and Melbourne Grammar School. To celebrate the Golden Jubilee, a Jubilee Fair was held at the school in May. Also in this year, the school moved from being privately owned to becoming a registered company governed by a School Council, an organisational structure still used today, and it established a formal affiliation with the Church of England.^[1] In 1958 it became a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria, showing it to be by that time a well-regarded independent school, and entitling it to take part in the most competitive schoolboy sporting competitions in Victoria. Caulfield was Victoria's fifth largest school in 1959, with a total enrolment above 800.^[1] To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article may require cleanup. ...

Valentine's Mansion at Malvern Campus.

In 1961 Caulfield became affiliated with Malvern Memorial Grammar School, which became the school's Malvern House in 1971, a primary school located in the Valentine's Mansion, and its students began to wear the Caulfield Grammar School uniform. Malvern Grammar School opened as a boys-only secondary school in 1890, and in 1924 moved into the Valentine's Mansion,^[4] formerly the home of Sir John Mark Davies (of no relation to the school's founder), a Victorian Cabinet minister.^[5] The mansion was classified in 1956 by the National Trust as a building of state significance and in 1975 was given statutory protection when placed on the Victorian Heritage Register. It was built in 1892, and contains a large ballroom.^[6] The school was renamed Malvern Memorial Grammar School in 1947 to honour old boys who had fought in World Wars I and II.^[4] From 1949 to 1979 Caulfield operated Shaw House, a primary school located in St Kilda East offering kindergarten and schooling from Years 1 to 3. It was later fully amalgamated with Malvern Memorial Grammar School to form the Malvern Campus of Caulfield Grammar School. Image File history File linksMetadata Caulfied_grammar_malvern. ...

During the 1960s and 1970s, a high level of student activism led to changes in the school's policies relating to students. Appointed prefects were replaced in 1970 by an elected School Committee to represent the student body, the publication of a student newsletter Demos - containing editorials on aspects of the school - was allowed, religious education classes were made voluntary for senior year levels, the position of school chaplain was abolished, and Caulfield was the only APS school to allow its students to participate in moratorium marches protesting the Vietnam War on May 8, 1970.^[1] The 1960s decade refers to the years from 1960 to 1969. ...

The school's centenary year, 1981, marked the appearance of the first girls at Caulfield, as a second senior school campus opened at Wheelers Hill on April 26. Wheelers Hill began as a coeducational school for all year levels. Twelve years later in 1993 girls began attending the other campuses, making Caulfield one of only a handful of fully coeducational private schools in Melbourne. The number of girls attending Caulfield increased quickly after 1993, and currently girls make up around 45% of the student body.

The school established a computer network in 1997, with all students and staff having individual log in details, email accounts, and file space.^[7] Unlike other Australian independent schools, Caulfield Grammar School has not followed the trend of making laptops compulsory for students. However, the school provides an online login system or Intranet for students and staff that is accessed via existing entry passwords and usernames. This capability is referred to as the School's sixth or "virtual" campus, and enables access to email and files from the school network over the Internet. For the band, see Laptop (band). ...

After Caulfield Campus' historic War Memorial Hall, built in 1958, was burnt down in an electrical fire on November 14, 2000 — a Melbourne Cup public holiday — Caulfield Grammar School began to plan the construction of major halls at both Caulfield and Wheelers Hill campuses, naming the project "The Twin Halls". The Memorial at Wheelers Hill was officially opened on July 28, 2005, with the Cripps Centre at Caulfield Campus opened on October 25, 2005.

Caulfield Grammar School now has over 2,800 students throughout its three day campuses. It is the only Melbourne-based school in the APS to provide boarding for both boys and girls, with nearly 100 boarding students from rural Australia, Melbourne and overseas.^[8] For non-international students, fees range from AU$8,000 to AU$18,000 per year for day students, and in excess of AUS$30,000 for boarding students.^[9] Caulfield received AU$2,134,444 as estimated ERI (federal funding) in 2000, which increased to AU$6,573,791 in 2004.^[10] As with most Australian independent schools, Caulfield is not a full fee paying institution; full fees apply only to international students, who are not subsidised by government funding.

2006 marked the 125th anniversary of Caulfield's founding, and various events were held to commemorate this milestone. On April 26, 2006, the School community commemorated this anniversary with a day of celebrations (ANZAC Day is held in Australia on April 25, the actual anniversary of the founding, and this is a national public holiday). Staff and students at all five campuses of the school — with student groups visiting both the Nanjing and Yarra Junction campuses at the time — formed "125^TH" at their respective campuses and an aerial photograph was taken. Other celebrations during the year to mark the occasion included a 125th Anniversary Ball for past and present staff and parents, as well as past students, held at Crown Casino, and the annual Founders' Day service at St Paul's Cathedral, attended by guest of honour Dr. David de Kretser, the current Governor of Victoria and a past parent of the school.

Yarra Junction Campus

In 1947 a country centre opened at Yarra Junction on land donated by the Cuming family. Cuming House was the first outdoor education campus for an Australian school,^[1] set in the Australian bush and close to the Yarra River. The Yarra Junction Campus today allows students to live in sustainable eco-cabins with rainwater tanks and solar power technology.^[12] The Earth Studies Centre, Wadambawilam (Aboriginal term for 'learning place'), operates on wind and solar power, and uses many environmentally-sound practices to teach students about long-term environmental sustainability.^[13] Also on campus is a commercial dairy which produces over 1 million litres of milk annually.^[14] On UN World Environment Day 2001 the Yarra Junction Campus won an award for Best School Based Environment Project for its energy-saving eco-cabins project.

The campus hosts student camps at various year levels: Year 3 students attend for one day, Year 5 students for three days, Year 7 students have one week camps, and Year 8 students have 11 day programmes including a three day outdoor camping activity. At each of the camps involving overnight stays by students, student leaders currently in Years 10 and 11 accompany groups for the duration of their programmes. Year 10 and 11 students wishing to act as leaders attend a leadership camp at the campus at the end of the previous school year, and a number are then selected to take part in student camps. As part of various camps, students stay in eco-cabins and must monitor their use of both water and electricity. Lessons also take place at Wadambawilam and at the campus dairy.

Nanjing Campus

The school opened a fifth campus in Nanjing, China in 1998, with a residential campus constructed on property owned by the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University. This became the first overseas campus for an Australian high school,^[15] and the first campus established by a foreign secondary school in China.^[16] It is staffed by six full-time Australian teachers, as well as four trainees selected from the school's annual graduating Year 12 class who complete 12 month gap year placements.^[17] For other uses, see Nanjing (disambiguation). ...

Australian Prime Minister John Howard and then-Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett both sent formal congratulations letters to Caulfield on the campus' establishment, and Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Downer witnessed the signing of an agreement to build the campus in 1996; also present were the Mayor of Nanjing, the Principal of the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University, and Caulfield's principal Stephen Newton. The Governor of Victoria James Gobbo officially opened the campus on May 6, 1998.^[16] Caulfield focuses on Mandarin Chinese as its major Language Other Than English, with the language first offered as a senior school subject in 1963, and later becoming the sole Asian language taught as it had higher student enrolments than Indonesian. It has been taught at every year level across all three campuses since 1993,^[1] and the establishment of a campus in Nanjing allowed the school to strengthen its ties with the region.^[18] Nanjing was selected as the campus' location in part because Jiangsu province, of which Nanjing is the capital and largest city, is Victoria's sister-state, and Nanjing University had previously established an Australian studies department.^[16] John Winston Howard (born 26 July 1939) is an Australian politician and the 25th Prime Minister of Australia. ...

At the Nanjing Campus, Year 9 students study five key themes of Chinese culture during one of six five-week programmes offered throughout the year: heritage, work, family, education and challenges. Students are based at the residential campus in Nanjing, and also spend three days in Shanghai, one day in Tong Li, Suzhou, and four days in Beijing, with lessons based around visits to sites such as the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. They also complete two day homestay visits with students from the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University, and participate in English and Mandarin language lessons with their homestay partners. In addition to the Year 9 programmes, a two-week study tour for Year 11 students studying Chinese as a Second Language is held annually in the break between Term 3 and 4.

Controversy arose in June 2001 when a group of six Caulfield students at the Ming Tombs were found to have graffitied this site, writing their full names on a wall near to the tomb entrance. The story made headlines in Melbourne, and was reported on the front page of the city's major newspapers, The Herald Sun and The Age. The school, in conjunction with Australian consular officials, resolved the issue with the Chinese government. In a similar incident in 2004, a student was found to have defaced Mutianyu, a section of the Great Wall, with graffiti that was later removed. The student was returned to Australia and suspended from school. The Great Wall was World Heritage listed in 1987 and it is an offence to cause damage to the monument.

When a global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) occurred in 2003, and had the highest confirmed cases in China, the school postponed all scheduled trips to China in 2003 indefinitely. The group which was in China at the time of the outbreak — March and April 2003 — travelled to Xi'an instead of Beijing to avoid the peak areas of infection, and returned to Australia via Tokyo's International Airport several days before the scheduled departure on the advice of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.^[19] The remaining groups returned in the second half of 2003 to participate in shortened three-week programmes.

Academics

Caulfield offers students a full range of subjects in its academic curriculum. All students study Mandarin Chinese — the school's major Language Other Than English, taught because of China's developing importance in the Asia-Pacific region — from primary school to Year 8, and German in Years 7 and 8, and may continue these languages as electives thereafter. The school awards scholarships for a range of fields, including academic excellence, theatre, music, art and sports. This article is on all of the Northern and Southwestern Chinese dialects. ...

Middle School structure

Caulfield has reorganised the early years of secondary school, which had previously been overshadowed by the VCE (Years 10–12) and attempts to upgrade programmes for senior students. Years 7 through 9 make up the middle school, and operate differently to the later VCE years. New initiatives at the middle school include a learning mentor programme, introduced in 2004 at the Year 8 level, and expanded to Year 7 in 2005. This provides every class with two teachers to around 30 students. Each class is assigned a learning mentor, who attends all of that group's lessons and assists each student with improving their own learning style. The mentor focuses on both academic and pastoral issues, while the designated subject teacher is responsible for preparing and teaching the set curriculum. It has been suggested that Maître à penser be merged into this article or section. ...

Year 9 at Caulfield is seen as a year where students prepare to undertake the VCE (Years 10-12). Students do not have examinations, as would happen in any other senior school year at Caulfield, but rather focus on their classroom studies and the Learning Journeys programme. Learning Journeys is a combination of various subjects previously studied in Year 9 - history, geography, religious education and personal development - with students working in groups of around 15 pupils to one teacher. Classes last for one full school day each week, and students regularly participate in numerous excursions as part of the subject's curriculum. Year 9 is also the year in which most students participate in the China internationalism programme (see Nanjing Campus).

Victorian Certificate of Education

Caulfield Grammar School senior students study for the Victorian Certificate of Education (Caulfield does not offer the International Baccalaureate), achieved after graduating from Year 12. While the VCE is usually completed over two years, in 2003 Caulfield began to encourage Year 10 students to take as many as three VCE Unit 1/2 courses usually studied at Year 11.^[20] This programme is seen as giving students a taste of the VCE a year earlier, thereby giving them a chance to prepare for what is to come; it also allows Year 11 students to undertake Unit 3/4 studies, so that they effectively begin part of their Year 12 course a year earlier, maximising their ENTER scores by studying up to six subjects over this time. By beginning VCE Unit 3/4 courses in Year 12, students may only study five subjects, which results in fewer subject scores being calculated in final ENTER results. The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE] is the credential given to students who have completed Year 11 and Year 12 of their secondary schooling, in the state of Victoria, Australia. ...

Caulfield achieves highly in statewide rankings of schools offering the VCE - both campuses ranked in the top 30 schools in Victoria for 2004 results. Caulfield also has associations with Australian universities which have led to the introduction of annual awards for VCE students at the school. One Year 12 graduate from the school is awarded a Collegiate Partnership Scholarship to attend Bond University,^[21] with 50% of tuition for an undergraduate degree provided.^[22] A Monash University bursary is also awarded to the top student in Year 11 at each campus to help pay for the cost of Year 12 studies.
