The Music Academy at Canberra Girls Grammar School
Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS) is an independent school of 1,300 students offering day and boarding opportunities.
As the oldest independent school in the ACT, the School started with 10 students in 1926 under the oversight of Sister Hilda. As a branch of our mother school, St Gabriel’s School in Waverley, Sydney, both schools were founded by the Sisters of the Church and shared the same badge and uniform.
CGGS is indebted to the leadership and pioneering spirit of the Community of the Sisters of the Church and today, while maintaining its Anglican traditions, warmly welcomes nationalities, cultures and faiths from across the world.
Music education at Canberra Girls Grammar School aims to create pathways for students and members of the community to achieve through music. It encourages each individual to experience the joy of music, regardless of age or ability, as an integral part of the Music Academy Program. There is an emphasis on active participation and individual expression and the development of the rich knowledge involved in making music. We strive to provide a broad and innovative range of music making opportunities and recognise the power of music through community.
Music is an important element of our school community. It is a pursuit that both challenges and enriches us through performance and academic study. The Music Academy provides a broad musical experience through which we can challenge our skills, knowledge and understanding, celebrating the very thing that can bring communities together, music!
