Female-focused and fiercely independent

Supported by our IB Programme, our firm commitment to international-mindedness and holistic learning prepares students not just for academic success but to be engaged and responsible global citizens.

Through our Signature Programs students are empowered to be resilient, critical thinking leaders, setting them on the path to becoming confident and capable young women ready to make a positive impact on the world.

A range of advanced STEM subjects prepare graduates to be leaders in all fields of endeavor, including STEM fields that are traditionally male-dominated.

Space to shine + a shared purpose

Curiosity, problem-solving and deeper understanding is encouraged through IB learning components such as the Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Extended Essay (EE) and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) which promote compassionate, responsible and globally engaged young people.

From the ELC to Year 12, students are guided through their journey of growth and independence via the Signature Programs, shaping mindfulness and emotional balance with a healthy dose of fun.

Students are empowered to follow their passions and elect to study one or more STEM subjects via a comprehensive subject selection list, that includes Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Computer Science, Digital Technologies and Specialist Mathematics.

CGGS is intentionally and unapologetically a mid-sized school, resulting in students that are known, cared for and have a place to grow and thrive.

High expectations + high support

A rigorous academic curriculum, supported by the globally recognised IB framework, provides our graduates the opportunity to apply for top universities both in Australia and abroad.

The explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy at our Junior School and ELC creates a strong foundation for our youngest learners to thrive and develop lifelong learning and study habits.

A focused Senior Phase of Learning prepares Years 10—12 students to explore potential career pathways, hone leadership skills and gain practical experience through work placements and extended learning opportunities.

Enabled by expert teaching staff, a world-class STEM program begins in the Junior School, encouraging students to engage in thought-provoking experiments and deep scientific inquiry.

A strong foundation + focused learning

CGGS boasts one of the most commended IB Primary Years Programmes in the Asia Pacific, appropriately supporting students to explore big ideas, engage with global themes and build connections between subjects and the real world.

Research-based pastoral care structures encourage students to develop their sense of self to flourish now, and in the future.

As the first school on the eastern side of Australia to offer the Einstein-First curriculum, students experience an innovative project led by the University of Western Australia, Curtin University and the ANU that teaches the fundamental concepts of modern physics from Year 3 onwards.

100+ co-curricular choices = creative, confident, capable

Cygnus at CGGS embeds learning programs beyond the classroom to encourage collaboration, healthy habits and inspire a sense of joy and purpose.

An integrated experiential and outdoor education component to our Signature Programs creates an appreciation for the natural world and inspires personal insight, independence and a deeper understanding of a student’s own capacity for action.

Enriching extended learning opportunities beyond the standard STEM curriculum are available, such as the Australian Mathematics Competition, Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge and the Engineering Challenge to stimulate and challenge agile, creative minds with a commitment to making a difference.
