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 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.
Happy Easter!
Our Northside and ELC Red Hill campuses celebrated Easter in the final week of Term 1 with their traditional Easter Hat Parades. Students enjoyed parading their hats and performing songs for their family and friends. There was an impressive range of hats on display, and even an Easter egg hunt!
We hope you all have a wonderful day. ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, we hosted our Primary and Senior School Cross Country Carnivals, two events that showcased the resilience and sportsmanship of our students. Across both Carnivals, students displayed extraordinary positivity and enthusiasm - as did our Primary Staff Dinos in their inaugural obstacle race. The day wouldn’t have been the same without it.

After two days of travel, the CGS REACH for Nepal team has arrived in beautiful Pokhara! Upon arrival, the team warmed up with a hike to the Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda), a stunning monument overlooking the serene Phewa Lake. They caught their first breathtaking glimpse of the Himalayan mountains and the Annapurna ranges.
The team is gearing up to begin the trekking section of the trip to Poon Hill in the Annapurnas, and is excited for what lies ahead!
