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.
This past weekend, Canberra Grammar School took part in the AEAS Australian Schools Expo in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. We were delighted to collaborate with Oscar Lam (CGS 2020), who joined a panel promoting both CGS, and secondary education in Australia holistically, while Sandy Goddard, Alumni and Philanthropy Manager, and Lisa Baum, Head of Admissions, discussed education at CGS, our academic programmes, as well as CGS Boarding, and living in Canberra.
While in Hong Kong, the team also took the opportunity to connect with our alumni community in the region, sharing news and strengthening the global ties that continue to shape and enrich our School. ... See MoreSee Less
As part of CGS’ 𝑃𝑖 𝐷𝑎𝑦 celebrations, our Year 10 and Year 6 students came together in teams to tackle a host of math-based activities and challenges! Students participated in a scavenger hunt looking for, and measuring, circular objects around the School, then calculating pi based on their measurements. They then enjoyed math-based card games and board games, as well as some math-based art. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring our Primary and Senior students together and learn about pi in a fun and engaging way, while also providing a valuable mentoring opportunity to our older students. ...

Our Year 8 students participated in ‘Smashed’ last week, an engaging and thought-provoking workshop designed to explore the topic of risk-taking behaviours, with a particular focus on underage drinking.
This workshop forms part of our Wellbeing programme, which aims to support students in developing their social and emotional capabilities by helping them understand real-life situations where these skills are required to make informed and responsible choices.
A big thank you to Smashed Australia for sharing their expertise and engaging our students in such an important conversation. ... See MoreSee Less
