Camberwell Grammar School



Clifford House, Camberwell Grammar School, raises funds for CIKA with a Tennis Tournament.
As part of the Clifford House social service commitment for 2009, the boys, under the leadership of The Head of House Mr M. Williams, and House Prefect Benjamin Sutu, decided to raise funds for CIKA. Plans were made to run a knockout Tennis Tournament involving staff and students during lunchtimes over a period of about 2 weeks. Funds would be raised by selling drinks and chocolates and by asking for donations from spectators of the matches played.
30 staff and students, including the School’s 1sts Tennis Squad which contains a couple of State grade players, agreed to play and compete for the newly named “Wayne Arthurs” trophy donated by the School. Wayne Arthurs is an old boy of the school. Mr John Catanzariti won the staff prize but Andrew Harris of Year 10 walked away with the Arthurs Cup. Well done!
Sales were rapid and donations forthcoming. Mr Williams supplied a mountain of soft drinks which were all successfully sold. The tournament raised a final figure of $700 for CIKA and was able to improve the profile of the CIKA organisation with posters, pamphlets and, on a few days, a couple of screens scrolling and showing the CIKA web site.
Benjamin Sutu proudly handed the $700 cheque to Professor David Clift when he bravely came to a School assembly to represent CIKA and say a few words.

Each employee receiving the shot donated $15 to CIKA. We would like to thank all those employee's who donated so generously.
