Students and staff enjoyed a wonderful visit from award-winning Australian author Pip Harry yesterday. Pip spent time with ELC classes at Northside before joining our Author Spotlight Series event, where she shared insights into her life as an author and the inspiration behind her books. Students were excited to take part in a lively Q&A session and have the opportunity to have their books signed. Everyone had a fantastic time and greatly appreciated the chance to meet such an engaging and inspiring author. A special thanks to the CGS Parents & Friends Association for supporting the event. ...

Thank you to all the wonderful students, families, and members of our community who came along this past Sunday to support another successful Studio Sunday and celebrate our Music Programme. We had a great turnout, with almost 400 solo performances taking place across six venues at Canberra Grammar School throughout the day. Studio Sunday provides an important opportunity for students learning with our Visiting Music Teachers to develop their confidence and skills as performers.
We sincerely thank our Visiting Music Teachers for the time, care, and dedication they invest in preparing students for these performances. Seeing each of them presenting their students and all their hard work on Studio Sunday is always a proud sight. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for next semester’s Studio Sunday, to be held on 15 November. ... See MoreSee Less
Last Saturday, CGS had the honour of hosting the formal launch of the Josh4Hearts Foundation, where the Snow Concert Hall was filled with hundreds of people who loved Joshua Oguns.
Joshua was a CGS student. He was gentle, gracious, and studious. He was an exceptional athlete, a natural leader, and a person of deep faith. He was a good friend, and a deeply loved brother and son. He died following a cardiac arrest during a basketball match, caused by a congenital heart condition that had never shown a single symptom.
His parents, Drs Joe and Taiye Oguns, have met that loss with a grace and determination that has humbled everyone around them. The Josh4Hearts Foundation is the result.
The Foundation will establish a specialist cardiac screening clinic open to young people aged 12 to 18 across our region, with a particular focus on active young athletes for whom such screening is best practice. Its goals are clear: raise awareness of heart conditions that go undetected in otherwise healthy young people, build capacity in recognising and responding to them, and make comprehensive cardiac screening accessible. ...
