Canberra Girls Grammar School - Yhuuramulum 43 Alexandrina Drive, Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory 2600

Welcome to Canberra Girls Grammar School - Yhuuramulum! Located in Yarralumla, on Alexandrina Drive, our institution is not just an establishment, but also a point of interest for those seeking a quality education for their daughters.

At Canberra Girls Grammar School, we strive to create a world where young people, girls, and women never stop believing that anything is possible. We are dedicated to providing our students with opportunities to develop their strengths, both inside and outside the classroom. With our award-winning initiatives, specifically designed to assist students in fulfilling their dreams and fostering independence and pride, we aim to create a home for the brave-hearted.

Our approach to teaching and learning goes beyond the traditional notions of education. We understand that the meaning of "knowing" has evolved, and our focus is on helping students locate, apply, and synthesize information and knowledge. We aim to cultivate independent, reflective, and globally aware lifelong learners.

Embarking on a quest for learning and knowledge, our students collect experiences, skills, and friendships that will stay with them for a lifetime. We believe that lifelong learning is a gift that carries through from early childhood to the primary years, senior school years, and beyond. We encourage our students to actively seek experiences that develop their wisdom and maturity, to ask questions often, and to never hesitate in seeking help or understanding throughout their schooling journey.

At Canberra Girls Grammar School, we understand the importance of a holistic approach to education. Our bespoke pastoral care program is designed to support the social and emotional development of our students, complementing their academic pursuits. Tailored age-appropriately to the needs of our students as they progress through school, this program is framed by our signature programs.

Our medium-sized boarding house provides a nurturing environment for our boarders. Our staff relish the opportunity to familiarize themselves with each and every boarder, focusing on supporting and nurturing each girl and valuing their personal strengths and qualities. Our boarding community includes students from regional and remote locations, local students whose families are in the Defence Forces or Foreign Affairs on overseas postings, as well as international students.

The co-curricular program at CGGS is an integral part of the educational experience. It encompasses activities that support, enhance, or complement the formal academic curriculum. We believe that personal growth occurs when students and staff have access to a broad range of experiences.

As an independent non-selective Anglican school, we celebrate diversity, academic excellence, and independence. We are proud to acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples as the traditional keepers of the land on which we gather. We are inspired by their wisdom, spirituality, and experience, and we commit ourselves to actively working alongside them for reconciliation and justice.
