EDUCATING YOUNG MINDS

At Canberra Grammar School, students are at the heart of everything we do. We focus on who we teach rather than just what we teach, tailoring learning to each child’s needs and fostering a love of learning.

“Our greatest asset is our students, and we are incredibly proud of them. We aim to nurture motivated, enquiring, caring, and happy individuals who are curious about the world around them.”– Dr Sandra Webster, Head of Primary School

With the support of a dedicated team—including Campus Directors, Chaplain, School Counsellor, Defence School Transition Aide, Learning Development staff, and the Primary School Leadership Team—students thrive in a nurturing and dynamic environment.

Strong, respectful relationships underpin success. By truly knowing our students, setting high expectations, and fostering a global outlook, we empower them to find their place in the world.
