Ready For The World
Canberra Grammar School endeavours to shape Curious, Creative, Confident and Compassionate Citizens of the World. This year, we offered the opportunity to a number of students from the Class of 2024 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.
Year 11 and 12 Ancient History students were visited by members of the National Military Reenactment Group who shared their extensive knowledge of what it was like to live and fight as part of the ancient Roman army. Students loved the hands-on experience which included getting to try on the incredibly heavy chainmail, wield a variety of Roman and Celtic weapons, and learn all the different ways a shield could be used in battle.

It was wonderful to welcome prospective families to our campus this morning for our Whole School Open Day. CGS Open Days serve as a vital opportunity for your family to make an informed decision about joining the CGS community by experiencing our School first-hand, supported by our knowledgeable student panellists and tour guides.

Artist Tom Buckland has been working with our Primary Year 4–6 students this term, bringing his imaginative world of creatures, cardboard, and creative storytelling into the art room. Students have loved learning new skills in 3D, creating bold masks and head-dresses as they explore new ways to express their ideas and think like artists. A big thank you to Tom for inspiring our young creators.

It has been a big month for CGS Rugby! On 10 May, CGS Alumni Andy Friend (CGS 1987), a highly accomplished national and international Rugby Union Coach for the ACT Brumbies, Waratahs and Connacht, attended CGS to present our players with their 1st XV and 1st XII jerseys. On 17 May, 1stXV and 1st XII jerseys were presented to our players by Jacob Taylor (CGS 2005), who represented Australia in the National Australian 7s team from 2009 to 2012.
The Indigenous round on 17 May also coincided with our CGS Alumni weekend, in a day that brought everyone together to epitomise everything that makes our School community so special.
