This August the School went pink, and our community rallied behind the cause with extraordinary generosity, raising over $10,000 for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) 🩷 Thanks for your support, your donations, the pink socks, swim caps, arm bands and ribbons. Thanks for the baking, the cheering, the community.
Our P&F Runners and Walkers Group made their own remarkable contribution, covering 56km across August, one kilometre for each of the 56 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every single day and raising over $3,600.
Every dollar stands with the Australians affected by breast cancer and brings the goal of Zero Deaths that little bit closer. ... See MoreSee Less

CGS’s Concert Band travelled to Melbourne last week to compete in the Intermediate Concert Band section of the Victorian Schools Music Festival and came home with a Platinum award.
Across two days, our students rehearsed at Wesley College and Carey Baptist Grammar School, performed for expert adjudicators, and learned alongside some of the country's finest school music programs. The Platinum result is wonderful recognition of their talent but it was the maturity, musicality and care they showed for one another that made us most proud.
Our thanks to conductors Dr Anita Collins and Mr Christopher Retter for leading the Band. Congratulations to all involved. You represented Canberra Grammar School with distinction.
Come and celebrate with us 💫 Our Concert Band will share the stage with the Royal Military College Band, Duntroon this Thursday 3 September at 6pm in the Snow Concert Hall. ... See MoreSee Less
What’s red, white and read all over? Our Year 5 cohort!
Last week, a sea of Wallies could be spotted across the campus as Year 5 came together to bring the pages of ‘Where’s Wally?’ to life for the Book Week Parade.
The celebrations spread from our youngest students right through to our oldest, and didn’t stop there, with our educators going all out to bring much-loved characters of their own to life.
Throughout the week, students explored the CBCA shortlisted books, shared their perspectives as shadow judges and took part in activities celebrating literature and the joy of reading.
Reading plays an important role in learning at Canberra Grammar School, encouraging students to encounter new ideas and develop their curiosity about the world around them.
P.S. The real Wally is hiding amongst our Year 5’s. Can you find him? ... See MoreSee Less
