As we enter the final week of our 2025 Annual Giving campaign, we invite you to be part of something enduring —a community that believes in the transformative power of education to uplift and empower students, and in the importance of giving to shape an environment where future generations can thrive.

Whether through scholarships, learning spaces, or opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise exist, the gift of giving has the ability to open doors and shape futures.

Read our 2024 IMPACT REPORT: Building a Legacy to hear directly from students, donors, and members of our School community. Their stories speak to the power of connection, and the extraordinary difference your generosity can make. >> https://tinyurl.com/4kpvbwzt

And as 30 June approaches, it’s also a timely opportunity to make a tax-effective donation a meaningful gift that benefits you and those it supports.

Canberra Grammar School was delighted to attend the Boarding Schools Expo Australia in Griffith, later hosting parents at an evening function before going on to Wagga the next day. Other recent highlights include the recent boarding parents dinner in Young at the Cranfield restaurant and at the Albion Hotel in Cootamundra. Great venues, food and company. It is always a pleasure for CGS to host our regional boarding parents, and these events serve as a great opportunity to bring people together, hear about the School, and encourage prospective families to visit. So many wonderful stories and insights into our country families. Thank you to Jeremy Taylor (CGS 2009) for hosting us at the Albion Hotel. ‘We’ll be back’ in 2026 – 𝐌𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝.
