Recently, CGS Rugby hosted its Alumni Round and Indigenous Round, in a fantastic day that brought many CGS Alumni back to connect with the wider CGS community. We celebrated once again alongside Daramalan College in what is becoming a long-standing tradition. To mark the occasion, Daramalan proudly competed in its Indigenous jerseys, while CGS wore its traditional navy jersey for the first time in recognition of our alumni. Indigenous flags were painted on Main Oval, and a smoking ceremony was led by Brother Richard Allan. It was a meaningful occasion that celebrated community, connection, culture, and the rich history of Canberra Grammar School. A big thank you to Daramalan College and the community for joining us. ... See MoreSee Less

Along the way, students searched carefully through the garden, delighted to discover sweet raspberries ready for tasting and some not-so-ready oranges! ... See MoreSee Less
