Dragon Boating
After a term of training hard, CGGS fielded its first student crews in the 2025 Dragon Boating Regatta at Grevillea Park. Eighteen CGGS students and six students from Marist College Canberra collaborated in a mixed team for the Regatta.
ELC visit
At one of her regular visits to the ELC, Principal Terrie Jones asked students to pick their favourite book for her to read to them. They chose 'Odd Dog Out' by Rob Biddulph, which beautifully highlights the importance of embracing uniqueness.
The children were thoroughly captivated throughout and loved chanting: 'I am me and I am brave!' Afterwards the children created artworks inspired by the book.
Year 5 Camp
The Year 5 camp was held at Cooba Sport and Education Centre, Berridale.
This annual camp is an integral part of the Year 5 curriculum and provides excellent opportunities for students to participate in a range of personally and socially challenging and rewarding experiences linked closely to our curriculum and Girls with Grit program. It also provides the students with opportunities to consolidate and extend their relationships and to develop the skills of independence, co-operation, consideration and responsibility.
Qualified, instructional staff, along with school staff provided physical and recreational activities such as a canoeing, raft building, a water-based assault course, leap of faith, swimming at Thredbo swimming pool and walking to Mt Kosciuszko lookout.
