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.
From 3-year-old Preschool to Year 6, our Primary School provides a connected learning journey built on strong, respectful relationships, high expectations and a global outlook. Between our two campuses in Red Hill and Campbell, every student is known, challenged and supported to find their place in the world.
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.

Rugby at Canberra Grammar School has a long reach. From a first tackle in the junior years to the alumni who have gone on to play professionally on the world stage. The lessons learned from the game tend to travel further still, well beyond the field.
So it was a real pleasure to open our doors today and share our rugby offering with future families as part of our Indigenous Scholars Programme, joined by three guests who know the game well: Matthew Sonter, Craig Leseberg and Andy Friend.
A good day for rugby and for the families who might one day call this place home.
L-R: Jaime Fernandez (CGS Executive Director Co-Curricular), Craig Leseberg (Brumbies Deputy CEO and GM - Community Rugby), Andy Friend (CGS alumnus, former professional player and coach), Matthew Sonter (Rugby Australia’s First Nations Rugby Manger), Dr Justin Garrick (CGS Head of School), and Jerry Yanuyanutawa (CGS Head of Rugby). ...
