Welcome from the head of school

WHY CGS?

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.

OUR SENIOR SCHOOL

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.

We’re back and readily preparing for an exciting first term of 2026, and it was a glorious way to mark the start of our newest team members’ journey into the CGS community.

We were delighted to welcome new members of our team, across both operational and teaching roles, in a fun, innovative and truly engaging way.

Kudos to our HR team for rolling out the red carpet and giving our newest colleagues an authentic taste of what it means to be part of the CGS community.

Our very first CGS Amazing Race saw new recruits race across our Senior and Primary School campuses, taking on team challenges while learning about key areas of the school—from Finance and Community Development to HR and beyond.

The experience created meaningful connections, sparked collaboration and set teamwork in motion from day one! Welcome to team CGS!Image attachmentImage attachment+4Image attachment
