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.
We are excited to welcome Brigette Carlile to Canberra Grammar School as our new Head of CGS Sport.
Brigette brings over 15 years of experience in sport and education, having begun her career in Sports and Exercise Science before moving into teaching Health and Physical Education. Most recently, she has been teaching and working in Rowing at St Peter's College in Adelaide.
Throughout her career, Brigette has coached rowing at school, state, and national levels and has contributed to a broad range of school sporting programs. This depth of experience has given her a strong understanding of both participation and high-performance pathways.
Brigette believes sport is essential to a holistic education and lifelong learning. As Head of CGS Sport, she aims to build a programme where students feel connected, challenged, and proud to represent their school while enjoying positive and meaningful sporting experiences.
Having hit the ground running, Brigette is already making meaningful connections with students and shaping a strong future for sport at CGS. ... See MoreSee Less

The Secondary Schools Global Challenge is an exciting initiative in its fourth year, developed in collaboration with the Australian National University's (ANU) Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs. The simulation engages students from the Canberra region in pressing global issues, acting as state and non-state actors in evolving negotiations throughout the day.
The SSGC serves as a fantastic opportunity for students, aiding in the development of their negotiation and diplomacy skills. Each participating school represents a global actor connected to the Asia Pacific with the aim of examining Indonesia's place in the world.
A big congratulations to our CGS team, who represented the United States of America and placed first in today's challenge. We also extend our appreciation and congratulations to all the other participating schools, your dedication, insight, and collaboration made the day a remarkable and inspiring experience for everyone involved. ...

Recess for Resilience is back for another year, and our first session last week was full of sunshine, smiles, and positive energy.
This initiative has become a valued part of our School week, offering students and staff a dedicated moment to step outside, move, and reconnect. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a chat with friends, or simply taking a quiet breath in the fresh air, these sessions create space for wellbeing in the middle of a busy school day.
Inspired by Running for Resilience (R4R), founded by former CGS student Matt Breen (CGS 2009), our School was proud to be the first to introduce this programme early last year. Since then, Recess for Resilience has continued to strengthen connection, resilience, and healthy habits across our School community. ... See MoreSee Less
