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 yearโs 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.
These holidays, Year 5 students Annabelle and Maya were selected to play for the U12s ACT Raiders Touch Football state representative team, representing the ACT at the 2025 National Youth Championships in Coffs Harbour.
They played eight games across the four days, and while they didnโt come away with the championship, they played some outstanding touch football.
A huge achievement by both students! ... See MoreSee Less
