Welcome from the head of school
We are as excited by our school’s future as we are proud of its rich academic, sporting, social and artistic history… and we’re just getting started.
Welcome from the Head of School
WHY CGS?
Approaching our centenary in 2029, Canberra Grammar School stands as one of Australia’s leading independent co-educational schools, uniting nearly 100 years of tradition with a bold vision for the future.
As an Anglican day and boarding school for students from Pre-School to Year 12, we believe that a co-educational environment best prepares young people for the world beyond school where collaboration, equality, and respect are fundamental to success.
Our inclusive and globally minded community brings together students from more than 40 nations to learn, live and grow with purpose. Set on a magnificent campus in Canberra’s inner south, CGS offers exceptional academic, co-curricular and pastoral opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion in every student preparing them to thrive as citizens of the world.
OUR SENIOR SCHOOL
We encourage students to develop critical-thinking skills, confidence in leadership, and the ability to find creative solutions in an increasingly complex world—while remaining active and compassionate citizens. Located on our Red Hill campus, the Senior School features outstanding facilities that support academic, co-curricular, and pastoral programmes.

This week, our Year 10 students had the opportunity to hear from an impressive variety of professionals from industries including health, engineering, law, defence, foreign affairs, construction, finance and education, as part of the Year 10 Future Insights Careers Day.
We are very grateful for our speakers who helped make the day possible, many of whom have attended a number of our CGS Careers events. It was an insightful day for Year 10 students, and we are confident they gained valuable knowledge that will assist their decision-making moving forward, as they continue to progress their schooling journeys.

Each year, Canberra Grammar School pauses to remember. Our Anzac Day Dawn Service is a proud school tradition, made more meaningful by the many students and families in our community with a personal connection to the Australian Defence Force. We warmly invite family, friends, and the wider Canberra community to join us as we honour and give thanks to all who have served.
Entry to the Main Quad is via Monaro Crescent, Gate 1 — all are welcome.

8am. Holidays. And still… they show up.
Our Year 11 and 12 students are putting in the work this week through the CGS Study Break Programme. Structured study, focused time, and a community that makes it easier to do the hard things well.
IB and HSC students, side by side. Different pathways, same commitment.
And behind the scenes, staff who choose to be here too. Opening doors, guiding, supporting, and quietly backing every goal.
This is what effort looks like.
