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 yearβs 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.
A massive congratulations to everyone involved in School of Rock β The Musical.
From the incredible band to the production and creative teams, our front-of-house crew and of course our brilliant cast. Each played an essential role in bringing this production to life.
It was wonderful to see the team standing proudly in assembly yesterday, reminding us all that it takes a whole community to deliver a production of this calibre, and what a production it was!
The result was a true testament to the creativity, dedication, and talent of our students and staff. Thank you to everyone who made it possible, and to all who came along to support. ... See MoreSee Less
On Monday we had our first Boardersβ Chapel Service and Formal Dinner of the year, a special evening and highlight of each term that brings our Boarding community together. It also happened to mark David Smartβs final week with us before he begins his Long Service Leave.
We had past School Captain and Boarder, Jackson Friend (CGS 2014), come in and share some insightful words on how boarding has helped him in life, fostering independence, responsibility, organisation and teamwork. He also spoke about the significant influence Mr Smart had on him, particularly during his year as School Captain. Through that experience, he gained a deeper appreciation of the dedication and care Mr Smart brings to the School community, both in his official role and in the many unseen ways he supports others behind the scenes.
Our sincere thanks to Jackson for returning to share his insights, and to David Smart, we wish you a well-deserved and restful break. ... See MoreSee Less
During a special Chapel service yesterday, our Year 12 students were presented with their Year 12 ties. Mr Thompson, in his address, noted that while students will begin wearing their new ties next term, the responsibility begins immediately:

Constable Kenny Koala came to visit our Primary students to teach them about staying safe in the community! Students discussed who to seek help from if they were lost and to recognise people in uniforms who can help them return safely home. He also reminded students of the importance of being correctly harnessed in a vehicle.
One of the PYP Learner Profile attributes is being knowledgeable, where students engage with issues that have local and global significance. Our Northside and ELC students are also looking forward to Kenny who will be visiting their classrooms in the coming weeks. ... See MoreSee Less
