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.

These school holidays, CGS Care has been full of fun, creativity, and unforgettable experiences!
CGS Care provides a vibrant and engaging holiday care programme at our Campbell and Red Hill campuses. Catering to children from Pre-School to Year 6, our programme is open to both CGS students and the wider community.
Each day, our educators design a mix of indoor and outdoor activities that ensure children of all ages and learning styles are catered for. These holidays, the programme’s adventures took participants to Inflatable World, TimeZone, an engaging workshop with Aaron Chatfield on damper-making and boomerang decorations, Bounce Belconnen, and an exciting live performance of The Cat in the Hat. There was also a wide variety of on-campus activities designed to encourage exploration, fun, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends.
