Approaching our centenary in 2029, Canberra Grammar School stands as one of Australia’s leading independent co-educational schools, uniting nearly 100 years of tradition with a bold vision for the future.
As an Anglican day and boarding school for students from Pre-School to Year 12, we believe that a co-educational environment best prepares young people for the world beyond school where collaboration, equality, and respect are fundamental to success.
Our inclusive and globally minded community brings together students from more than 40 nations to learn, live and grow with purpose. Set on a magnificent campus in Canberra’s inner south, CGS offers exceptional academic, co-curricular and pastoral opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion in every student preparing them to thrive as citizens of the world.
We encourage students to develop critical-thinking skills, confidence in leadership, and the ability to find creative solutions in an increasingly complex world—while remaining active and compassionate citizens. Located on our Red Hill campus, the Senior School features outstanding facilities that support academic, co-curricular, and pastoral programmes.
Strong, respectful relationships underpin success. By truly knowing our students, setting high expectations, and fostering a global outlook, we empower them to find their place in the world.

CGS Rugby has been proudly named the Brumbies Territory Team of the Year for 2026!
This award reflects CGS Rugby’s outstanding achievements, including the highest rugby registration numbers, strong community engagement, and meaningful connections across the territory.
As part of the prize, CGS Rugby players were invited to attend the Brumbies vs Moana Pasifika match on 30 May at GIO Stadium. Primary School students were additionally given the amazing opportunity to participate in the half-time entertainment during the Brumbies Women’s match.
Both Senior School and Primary School rugby players enjoyed a behind the scenes walk around experience as part of the Club March at GIO Stadium. Two lucky Primary School students Sofia and Polly had the honour of carrying the official match ball onto the field before kick off for the main game, at the commencement of which, CGS Primary students formed a guard of honour as the Brumbies ran out onto the field.
A massive thank you to our community, the coaches, managers, teachers, volunteers and—most importantly—the parents and players who made this achievement possible.

Over the last month, Year 7 students from Canberra Grammar School have visited our Kindergarten classes in the Red Hill campus to become better acquainted and to extend literacy and numeracy skills together. This is a continuation of a much-loved tradition where senior students befriend and learn with younger students, creating a sense of community and shared purpose.
We look forward to many more visits over the year, and for all Year 7 and Kindergarten students to have the opportunity to work together. ... See MoreSee Less
