Living in Canberra

Living in the national capital is a far better experience than the one popularized in the press, especially when you are in immediate contact with a supportive environment such as the one provided by Canberra Grammar. Canberra is a spacious city dotted with parkland, lakes, great transport links and many national institutions. The sporting, cultural and other recreational facilities are of the highest standard, and there are successful favourite teams to support such as the Brumbies, the Raiders and the Capitals. The National Gallery houses spectacular exhibitions and The ANU School of Music attracts many of Australia's outstanding young musicians. There is a rich tapestry of concerts. The national parliament provides an energy and authority not found in other Australian cities.

Canberra is a family-friendly environment without many of the problems of larger cities. The bush is only 10 minutes drive from anywhere in Canberra and it really is the bush capital. The city has a wonderfully clean environment and a friendly face where people still have the time to say hello.

'Canberra' in the traditional language of the Ngunnawal people means 'meeting place'; so come and join us in a caring, supportive and rewarding environment that is Canberra Grammar School.
