Ready For The World 2025
Canberra Grammar School endeavours to shape Curious, Creative, Confident and Compassionate Citizens of the World. In 2025, we offered the opportunity to a number of students from the Class of 2025 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.
The CGS Supervised Study Programme has had an extremely successful start this term!
The programme runs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, and is open to Years 11 and 12, with Year 10 students welcome to join. CGS staff have created an environment that is calm, quiet, and welcoming, and the Academic Coaches, comprised of high-achieving current university students, have afforded our students access to knowledgeable, approachable coaches, which they cite as the most valuable part of the evening.
The evenings have become about setting goals, building consistency and developing good habits. Engagement has been consistent and encouraging to witness, with students integrating it as a consistent and worthwhile part of their routine.
The programme will continue into Term 2, and we look forward to seeing it grow. ... See MoreSee Less

It was an amazing experience for 18 CGS girls who had the opportunity to play Try Tag Rugby against Daramalan in front of nearly 10,000 spectators at GIO Stadium during the Brumbies vs Chiefs match this past weekend.
For many of our students, this was not only their first time playing Try Tag Rugby, but their first time playing any form of rugby. Their bravery, willingness to try something new, and pride in representing the School strongly reflect the values our CGS Rugby programme strives to foster. ... See MoreSee Less
