The Combined Anglican Schools Pathways Expo was held at CGS this week, with Radford College, Canberra Girls Grammar School and Burgmann College visiting our campus to attend. Exhibitors from 38 institutions and organisations set up booths for students, as they sought information about their future opportunities in various courses and industries. The day concluded with several extended presentations which parents also attended. It was fantastic to see the engagement and positivity of all involved.

This year’s CGS Year 12 Formal was an extraordinary night, which came to be with large thanks to the student formal committee and the dedicated staff who planned and attended. Held at the stunning new National Arboretum, the celebration of the Class of 2025 was a magical evening under the stars. With dancing, dining, and plenty of memories made, it was the perfect way to mark a milestone in our students’ school journey.

As the departure date draws nearer, the Reach for Nepal group recently put their fitness to the test with a challenging hike up Mt Tennent in Namadgi National Park. This 15km trek provided an excellent opportunity to assess their physical preparedness, while also allowing members to bond and better get to know each other and staff.

Though the heat made the hike tough, the team pushed through and with each step strengthened both their fitness and camaraderie. Their efforts were rewarded with breathtaking views at the summit, setting the stage for their upcoming adventure. 

As we continue to count down the days until departure, the Reach for Nepal group is more united and motivated than ever. Stay tuned for more updates as they prepare for their incredible journey ahead!

The group’s bake and kitted goods sale today to raise funds for the trip was a resounding success. If you’d like to donate, you can do so at the following link: https://www.givenow.com.au/canberra-grammar-school-reach-for-nepal-fundraiser

Yesterday’s Harmony Day celebration embraced the diverse cultural and religious backgrounds within the CGS Community. It provided a valuable opportunity to delve into cultural beliefs and values, recognising how our differences and similarities strengthen our community.

As always, students across the Primary and Senior Schools were encouraged to wear cultural clothing or add a splash of orange to their uniform. Performances were held in the Quad during lunchtime, including Indonesian Embassy and Korean dances, while students contributed to the 2025 Harmony Day handprint posters. A special assembly was also held in the Quad, with flag-bearing and speeches about our students’ diverse cultural heritage.
