The War Memorial Hall was buzzing with excitement for last week's 2026 ACT Regional da Vinci Decathlon. Over three days, hundreds of local and regional students from Years 5 to 10 competed across a range of academic challenges from Science and Engineering, to Art and Poetry.
The da Vinci competition is a wonderful example of what we aspire to achieve in our classrooms each day, with students driving their learning through collaboration, individual effort and utilising a range of skills to apply and explore.
With teams competing in every level of the competition, our students were raring to jump into this year’s challenge. We are delighted to announce that in the Primary School, the CGS Year 5 team came second, and the Year 6 team won their competition. In the Senior School, Year 8 came second and Year 10, third. Well done to all students who trained, participated and worked together to make the Decathlon such a huge and exciting success.
Next up, our teams are headed to Sydney to compete in the NSW competition. Wish them luck! ... See MoreSee Less
Two Year 10 students, Zara and Stan, have departed Australia for Scotland, where they will take part in an 8-week cricket exchange at Strathallan School. While the Strathallan cricket exchange has been a long-standing and valued opportunity at CGS, this year marks a historic milestone, with Zara becoming our first female student to participate in the programme.
We wish our talented cricketers, Zara and Stan, the very best of luck and look forward to hearing about their adventures, both on and off the cricket pitch! ... See MoreSee Less
Curious. Creative. Confident. Compassionate. Citizens of the world.
Five Cs for our students to grow into.
Spend an evening with the P&F Book Club, though, and you start to notice a sixth modelled, quietly, by the grown-ups in the room.
