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.

Primary School Rugby at CGS was full of activity throughout Term 2. One of the major events worth highlighting is the experience of our U/11 team, with 14 brave players travelling to the annual U/12s Armidale Rugby Tournament, making the journey via two flights and a bus. The tournament has been running for over 20 years, and CGS has proudly been part of it for more than a decade.
Our U/10s also took part in the annual Matt Giteau Cup at Viking Park this past term, another long-standing fixture for 10 years in the CGS Primary School Rugby Programme. The team performed well, recording a mix of wins and losses while gaining valuable experience.
Overall, it has been a fantastic term for Primary School Rugby. A huge thank you to the CGS Rugby Association for providing the TAS tour jerseys, as well as to the parents, coaches, and volunteers for their ongoing support. ... See MoreSee Less
That’s a wrap for House Music 2026!
This year’s event was a spectacular conclusion to our first semester! Held over two days in the Snow Concert Hall, the atmosphere was electric, with palpable excitement and anticipation throughout. It was not only a display of musical talent, but a celebration of the dedication, teamwork, and Canberra Grammar School spirit that defines our community. Well done to each and every student who participated, thank you to all the staff and students involved in bringing the event together, and of course, congratulations to Jones House on claiming first place for House Shout and the entire event!
We'll have more retrospective coverage of the event as we enter Term 3, so watch this space. ... See MoreSee Less
