Canberra Girls Grammar School

Are you a Grammarian? Do you know somebody who is? We are always interested in hearing about what our alumni are up to - let us know!

We've already seen a few Grammarians on the screen already this year (Samara Weaving and Sybilla Budd), so make you add this upcoming Australian film on your 'must see' list!

Are you a CGGS student in Year 9, 10 or 11 and looking to make a difference in your own life, your community or the world at large? Or do you know a student who fits the bill?
