This past weekend, CGS Girls’ Chess Team students Michaella, Aneka, Hannah, and Flora, flew to Perth to represent the ACT and Canberra Grammar School in the Australian School Teams Chess Competition.
The competition took place on Saturday, 7 December and Sunday, 8 December, with the girls playing against each state and territory’s girls' chess teams. It was an extremely challenging event, with the chief arbiter noting this year’s competition had the highest number of highly rated chess players ever. The girls gave their very best, winning some games, and, most importantly, having fun, meeting other chess players, and improving their tactics and strategy. After a challenging two days, the CGS Girls’ Chess Team placed a commendable Fourth in Australia!
On Sunday evening, the girls celebrated their success by watching the stunning sunset over the Indian Ocean on Western Australia’s coast—a perfect end to the trip.

CGS Presentation Night 2024 at the National Convention Centre was a captivating celebration of achievements and talents that enchanted the entire CGS community.
The night began with pre-show performances by the CGS Guitar Group and Senior School Dance, Hay House Chorale and Primary Orchestra, before a Processional of ‘Radetzky March’ by the CGS Massed Bands. The audience was treated to a host of performances thereafter; the Year 6 Exhibition Display of ‘Empowerment’, ‘Soundscape 7’ by the Student Percussion Composition, and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ by the Senior School Orchestra were some of the many highlights of the night. A Recessional of ‘Hark the Herald Angels’ closed out a huge night.
This year, the Ian Powell Memorial Award was presented to two outstanding recipients: Heather White and Kate Carroll, the School’s dedicated nurses, whose commitment to health and wellbeing has left an indelible mark on our community.
The recipient of the Extraordinary Care and Service, Stephen Byron Award was Jenny Hunter. As Head of the Girls’ Boarding House, Jenny has transformed it into a second home for over 50 boarders, fostering an environment of trust, warmth, and inclusion.
Canberra Grammar School deeply appreciates the huge effort of all our students and staff for contributing to the success of such an extraordinary night, and congratulates everyone on their many successes for 2024.
