Canberra Girls Grammar School

School Find introduces Canberra Girls Grammar School in Deakin, for all your education and learning needs.

Canberra Girls Grammar School is an Anglican independent school. Founded in 1926, our School development has paralleled and reflected the growth of Canberra, but its heritage stems from nineteenth century England where Sister Emily founded an Anglican religious order called the Community of the Sisters of the Church. Sister Emily’s practical approach to serving the community and her attention to issues of social justice provided a foundation for our students to serve their own communities.

Canberra Girls Grammar School is proud of its heritage and its uniqueness. Our school is situated within view of Parliament House and our students have ready access to national institutions. History is not only those occurrences of the past, but our country is changing each day and many of those changes begin in Canberra.

Canberra has a dynamic and diverse population. Students of our school meet peers from a wide range of cultures.  Their own families exemplify life and work in a global community. Our rural boarding students bring to our school those attributes and skills which are quintessential to the Australian character. This blending of cultures and backgrounds is a unique quality of our school and provides opportunities to develop resourceful and ethical young people who will have opportunities to shape their global community in the future.
