'''Canberra Grammar School''' is a [[co-educational]], independent, [[Day school|day]] and [[boarding school]] located in [[Red Hill, Australian Capital Territory|Red Hill]], a suburb of [[Canberra]], the capital of [[Australia]].
The school was founded in [[1929]], the foundation stone being laid on [[5 December]] [[1928]] by [[Prime Minister of Australia]] [[Stanley Bruce]]. Initially it was attended by only 63 students, but has grown sharply since the early [[1950]]s to a total of 1,571 students in attendance as of [[February 2006]].
 
The school is affiliated with the [[Anglican Church of Australia]] and provides an education from [[preschool]] to Year 12 for boys and girls. In October 2015, the school announced that it would extend [[Mixed-sex education|co-education]] to all years, commencing in 2016 with an intake of girls in Years 3 and 4. By 2018, the school became fully co-educational.<ref name="co-ed">{{cite web|url=http://cgs.act.edu.au/co-ed/|title=CGS goes fully co-educational|publisher=Canberra Grammar School|date=October 2015}}</ref>
The current headmaster is Simon Murray; Alan Ball is head of the senior school and Jeff Symms is head of the primary school. Aaron Booth is the School Sergeant.
 
The school was founded in 1929 when the existing Monaro Grammar School was relocated to Canberra from Cooma.<ref name = anu-photo-caption/> The foundation stone was laid on 4 December 1928 by Prime Minister [[Stanley Bruce]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=CANBERRA GRAMMAR SCHOOL - Origin and Progress - The Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 - 1995) - 3 Jul 1929 |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1007911 |access-date=2024-07-17 |website=Trove |language=en}}</ref> Initially, it was attended by only 63 students, but the school has grown considerably since the early 1950s to a total attendance of 1,749 students as of June 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://issuu.com/canberragrammarschool/docs/16505_cgs_annual_report_2015__web__|title=CGS Annual Report 2015|work=issuu|access-date=2017-03-11}}</ref>
== Curriculum ==
 
The school has educated one Australian [[Prime Minister of Australia|prime minister]], [[Gough Whitlam]], and has a long list of notable alumni.
Unlike other [[Education in the Australian Capital Territory#Schools|schools in the Australian Capital Territory]], Canberra Grammar School subscribes to the [[Higher School Certificate|New South Wales Higher School Certificate (HSC)]] System. The curriculum in years 11 and 12 is thus based on New South Wales HSC courses. As such, English is the one course which is compulsory up to and including [[Year 12]]. Canberra Grammar School leans towards a focus on Academic courses (as opposed to Vocational courses). Mathematics and English can both be studied at Extension 2 (4-unit) level, and many other subjects are taught at 3-unit level. These include History.
 
The school consists of 5 main campuses: Red Hill Southside, Red Hill Primary, Red Hill Senior, the Early Learning Center (ELC) and Northside Campbell.
==Co-curriculum==
 
The school offers many activities outside of school hours. These include sport, music and other activities.
==Curriculum==
*'''Junior School''': Athletics, Ball games, Basketball, Chess, Cricket, Cross Country Running, Drama, European Handball, Gardening, Golf, Indoor Soccer, Mini Volleyball, Multimedia, Orienteering, Rugby, Art, Swimming, Tae Kwon Do, Tennis, Triathlon.

{| class="wikitable"
After spending year seven in either of these two houses, boys then make the transition into their allocated senior houses (one of the eight mentioned above). The senior houses provide a nurturing environment, where life long friends and associates are made, as well as encouraging friendly competition between the houses. House competitions include the swimming carnival, the athletics carnival, the cross country carnival, and house music, consisting of house rock, house instrumental, the 'house shout' and the 4-20 voices section. There are also several, non-official house competitions organised by the boys, including house cricket, and house soccer and house basketball.
