They say it’s the fast lane once you leave school.
For CGS alumni Zach Bates, it has led straight to the top of Mount Panorama.
We are enormously proud to see Zach’s historic Bathurst qualifying performance celebrated by his family and the wider motorsport community.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.School is out! In the blink of an eye (more than a few teary eyes, actually), at the end of Term 3, our 209 Year 12 students celebrated the end of their CGS journeys. From the powerful bonding of a First Nations smoking ceremony to the frenetic water fights, assemblies and a valedictory dinner students basked in moment after moment of memory-making. It all led to the traditional ‘walk-out’ through corridors of younger students, staff, and glowing parents. Amidst the backslaps, handshakes, hugs, bouquets of flowers, balloons, and yes, some sobbing too, came the realisation that new lives were dawning. Exams, anxious waits for results and acceptances lie ahead. So do gap years, and uncertainties of not knowing what to do next. Let’s pause for a moment and wish everyone the best of luck for exams and beyond. Thank you to every single student for what you brought to Canberra Grammar School. Be proud of what you have achieved. May the roads ahead be full of joy, good health and learning. Onwards! Forever onwards! ...
3D or not 3D? That is the question. As for the answer? Definitely 3D!
Congratulations to CGS Year 12 Design and Technology students Freddy and Henry whose Major Projects have been nominated for inclusion in SHAPE, an exhibition of outstanding HSC works in Sydney next March. Freddy designed L-flip, a 3D printed driver learner plate that is mounted inside a vehicle and can flip automatically, meaning there’s no more need for manually taking a plate on and off. Henry designed TerrariTeach, a 3D printed propagation kit that helps primary school students learn about growing plants. What brilliant ideas! Typically, nominated works earn 58/60 or above. Great work Freddy and Henry! ...
Term break hasn’t slowed our students down. The Snow Centre has been busy with students tackling past exams, writing up notes, working with tutors and teachers, and practising blurting: writing down everything they can recall on a topic, then checking it against their notes to find the gaps. This is part of our Senior Study Programme and Tailored Academic Support sessions for CGS students. An almighty thanks to Mr Dunkley, Director of Educational Opportunity, and Ms Muller, Enrichment and Scholarship Coordinator for making it happen. ...
