CGS Rugby has been proudly named the Brumbies Territory Team of the Year for 2026!
This award reflects CGS Rugby’s outstanding achievements, including the highest rugby registration numbers, strong community engagement, and meaningful connections across the territory.
As part of the prize, CGS Rugby players were invited to attend the Brumbies vs Moana Pasifika match on 30 May at GIO Stadium. Primary School students were additionally given the amazing opportunity to participate in the half-time entertainment during the Brumbies Women’s match.
Both Senior School and Primary School rugby players enjoyed a behind the scenes walk around experience as part of the Club March at GIO Stadium. Two lucky Primary School students Sofia and Polly had the honour of carrying the official match ball onto the field before kick off for the main game, at the commencement of which, CGS Primary students formed a guard of honour as the Brumbies ran out onto the field.
A massive thank you to our community, the coaches, managers, teachers, volunteers and—most importantly—the parents and players who made this achievement possible.

Recently, two of our CGS boarders travelled to Coonabarabran to compete in the North West Equestrian Expo, the largest interschool equestrian event in Australia, attracting over 300 riders from schools across NSW and the ACT.
Olivia (Year 7) and George (Year 10) represented CGS with enthusiasm, competing across a variety of disciplines including dressage, showjumping, polocrosse and team penning.
George and his horse, ‘Oasis Off Limits’, placed 2nd in sporting keyhole and 9th in team penning. While Olivia and her horse ‘Nautique Nutt’ placed 7th in their jumping and dressage division and 10th in the pentathlon.

Over the last month, Year 7 students from Canberra Grammar School have visited our Kindergarten classes in the Red Hill campus to become better acquainted and to extend literacy and numeracy skills together. This is a continuation of a much-loved tradition where senior students befriend and learn with younger students, creating a sense of community and shared purpose.
We look forward to many more visits over the year, and for all Year 7 and Kindergarten students to have the opportunity to work together. ... See MoreSee Less
