EDUCATING YOUNG MINDS

Canberra Grammar School places students at the centre of everything we do. Our educational approach is driven by the needs, characteristics and wellbeing of our youngest learners. 

By focusing on WHO we teach rather than WHAT we teach, we meet individual students’ needs and help them love learning. We support and celebrate their efforts to realise their intellectual, cultural, social and physical aspirations. This sets them up for a successful life of curiosity and engagement throughout high school, university and beyond.

Campus Directors, Chaplain, School Counsellor, Defence School Transition Aide, Learning Development staff, Deputy and members of the Primary School Leadership Team form a group of highly engaged professionals that support vibrant and constructive interactions between students and their teachers.

Our approach to student care and development stems from the fundamental belief that positive and respectful relationships underpin students’ achievement of their potential. Knowing and being responsive to the children in our care, setting high expectations and nurturing an international perspective are factors that help our students find their place in the world.
