Ready For The World 2025
Canberra Grammar School endeavours to shape Curious, Creative, Confident and Compassionate Citizens of the World. In 2025, we offered the opportunity to a number of students from the Class of 2025 to reflect on their schooling journey. More than just celebrating final scores at year’s end, Canberra Grammar School wishes to celebrate both successes and experiences shared at our School, whether they be academic, co-curricular, or personal growth achieved throughout their time here.
Canberra Grammar School wishes everyone in our community a very happy Easter!
Our Northside and ELC Red Hill campuses celebrated Easter in the final week of Term 1 with their traditional Easter Hat Parades, while Primary and Senior campuses across the School also held the annual CGS Easter Book Fair in their respective Libraries.
There was an impressive range of hats on display during the parades, and our younger students greatly enjoyed performing songs for their family and friends. A special thanks to our Parents & Friends Association for all their assistance, and to everyone in the community who attended and supported these events, making them such special occasions for our students. ...

The CGS Year 12 cohort for 2026 has broken all previous School records and raised over $70,000 this year for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation! Shaving or cutting their hair as a symbol of solidarity in support of all individuals and families impacted by cancer, our students and staff made yesterday an unforgettable milestone for our School. We extend our thanks to our extremely generous community, without which such an achievement would not have been possible. There is still time to donate; you can find the link here: www.schf.org.au/fundraisers/CGSshaveagainstcancer ... See MoreSee Less
It was a fantastic weekend for our Dragon Boats team this past weekend, as they represented CGS at the ACT Dragon Boat Championships.
Racing over the 500m distance against some of the strongest crews in the ACT was an exciting challenge and a great opportunity for the team to test their speed, teamwork, and determination on the water. Every race required focus, coordination, and effort from every paddler, and our students showed fantastic spirit throughout the day.
Competing at this level was a valuable experience for the crew and a great chance to race against some of the best teams in the region. The event also provided excellent preparation as the team now turns its attention to the upcoming National Dragon Boats Championships at Lake Kawana on the Sunshine Coast.
A big congratulations to all our paddlers for their commitment and effort, and thank you to everyone who supported and cheered on the CGS team! ... See MoreSee Less
