CGS Alumni

Canberra Grammar School is seeking donations of pre-loved uniforms to support this year’s female exchange students visiting from Scotland and England.

We would be very grateful for donations of:

• Senior girls’ skirts
• Rugby uniforms
• Netball uniforms

These students will be joining our school community for several weeks, and access to uniforms helps them feel welcome and fully involved in CGS School life during their stay in Australia.

If you have any items in good condition that you would be willing to donate, please contact our Global Programmes and Partnerships Coordinator, Sarah Payne, at [email protected], or drop them into Senior Reception for Ms Payne to collect.

Thank you for helping us continue the strong spirit of hospitality and international connection that has long been part of the CGS community!

Mark your calendars, because we’ve still got a big year of reunion events ahead of us!

We look forward to reconnecting with you all throughout 2026 and making this year one to remember! To stay updated on CGS Alumni events and initiatives, visit cgs.act.edu.au/alumni

It was a truly wonderful Alumni Reunion last Saturday, and we were delighted to have so many return to the School to visit the campus, tour, reminisce, reconnect with former peers, and support the CGS Sport Programme. As always, our Alumni engagement with the reunions and the School community is greatly appreciated.

With much gratitude,
