Camberwell Girls Grammar School

Being a girls school, every cggs student is given the best opportunity to reach her full potential. Camberwell girls enjoy not only equal opportunity they enjoy every opportunity. Our girls actively participate, influence, lead and learn in an environment where there is no gender stereotyping. Being a girls school, they are encouraged and supported to whole-heartedly explore their interests and passions.

Our staff know that girls have different educational, social, moral, sporting and cultural needs from boys. We have developed programs that support and enhance the development of young women in contemporary society.

Research confirms that girls enjoy significant advantages in a single sex environment. They participate fully, enjoy working collaboratively in teams and have more interaction with their teachers. Girls create a culture of strong academic achievement and girls attending girls schools achieve significantly higher academic results. They engage in more healthy competition and risk taking with their learning, they hold all leadership positions and have higher career aspirations. Girls attending girls schools are more likely to go on to hold leadership positions in their profession.

We strive to ensure that Camberwell girls are lifelong learners, productive global citizens, compassionate leaders and catalysts for change. Each girl should be committed to making a difference to the lives of others, not only when she leaves the School, but also today.

A leader and innovator in the education of girls, dedicated to fostering a passion for learning and building a more just and sustainable world. A Christian School in the Anglican tradition, inspiring girls in their love of learning and nurturing compassionate leaders with global mindsets. We welcome students of all faiths and cultures and educate them to seek wisdom through intellectual inquiry, service learning and spiritual growth that honours the values of: Integrity / Commitment / Respect / Hope / Courage.

Quality education for girls ensures that the world has diversity of thought, a perspective that values collaboration and the benefit of the talent, creativity and ideas of half of the world’s population.

At CGGS, we are constantly building new programs, experiences and opportunities both in and out of the classroom to ensure that our students are fully prepared for their futures.

Our curriculum is diverse and challenging and it plays a significant role in assisting our students to identify their interests and strengths. We want to equip our students with the skills to enable them to create their own opportunities in the future. STEAM in education is crucial. It allows our students to develop entrepreneurial skills and to create jobs that will grow the economy.

We don’t just want our students to use technology. We want them to be creators of it. Coding is taught at all year levels and we have robots as permanent members of our community.

We are extremely proud of our diverse, multicultural and highly inclusive community. From Early Learning to Year 12 – everybody is welcome and everybody belongs.

Camberwell Girls Grammar School offers opportunities for every student to be the creator of high quality work, in an environment focused firmly on the future. Our students leave the School with a determination to pursue their dreams.
