[edit] Gallery of Achievement

The Camberwell Grammar School Gallery of Achievement has been established to acknowledge and celebrate the success of generations of Old Camberwell Grammarians.

It is an ongoing, evolving project, which aims to inspire current and future students to pursue excellence in a wide range of careers, community service and sport.

A detailed biography of each Old Boy will be included in a Gallery of Achievement Perpetual Book, to be held in the Camberwell Grammar School Development Office.
