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.

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

Recently, CGS Rugby hosted its Alumni Round and Indigenous Round, in a fantastic day that brought many CGS Alumni back to connect with the wider CGS community. We celebrated once again alongside Daramalan College in what is becoming a long-standing tradition. To mark the occasion, Daramalan proudly competed in its Indigenous jerseys, while CGS wore its traditional navy jersey for the first time in recognition of our alumni. Indigenous flags were painted on Main Oval, and a smoking ceremony was led by Brother Richard Allan. It was a meaningful occasion that celebrated community, connection, culture, and the rich history of Canberra Grammar School. A big thank you to Daramalan College and the community for joining us. ... See MoreSee Less
In one of our Primary School classrooms, students have been stepping away from the rush of the day to slow down and reconnect with the natural world around them. Their body breaks have turned into little adventures, wandering down to the Agricultural area to visit the chickens and the veggie garden on campus.
Students picked sprigs of fragrant lavender, transforming them into calming perfumes, and eagerly tried to feed handfuls of grass to our feathered friends (with mixed success!). Along the way, students searched carefully through the garden, delighted to discover sweet raspberries ready for tasting and some not-so-ready oranges! ... See MoreSee Less
