Camperdown was my oasis, a refuge from a community deeply torn by violence and decay. My understanding of the challenges makes it easy for me to say thanks to the Board Chairs and members who gave their personal resources to ensure our growth.

To our teachers, the warriors in the trenches—Camperdown is forever grateful! For 95 years, you have been the conduit of Mrs. Grant’s mission to make this a place of family and commitment. I also thank our past principals, admin staff, ancillary staff, and coaches who nurtured our students to become champions.

In commemorating our 95th anniversary, we honour a legacy of excellence and resilience. As we look toward our 100th year, I appeal to our past students: this is a rallying cry. Camperdown needs our continued support to innovate and meet the needs of future generations.

Solum Optima Petenda Sunt! Happy 95th Anniversary!
