Private Schools
CANBERRA Girls Grammar School (CGGS) has welcomed boarders through its doors since 1926 and offered scholarships for 85 years.
Applications for the 2019 Gabriel Boarding Scholarship are now open.
The scholarship provides up to 50 per cent remission of boarding fees until the completion of Year 12 and is open to full-time boarders in Years 7 to 11.
CGGS Head of Boarding Tina Twigg said life in the CGGS boarding house, affectionately known as the ‘BoHo’, was not all that different from a typical family environment.
“Children develop important skills and values in a family environment, parents encourage their children to be creative and innovative thinkers all within the security and structure of their family unit,” Mrs Twigg said.
Year 11 boarding scholar Bella O’Hara from Moree, NSW, joined the CGGS boarding family in Year 7 and said “At first things seem strange and different, but… over time you come to love the quirks of this new strange place, and the people you never would have met if you didn’t venture far from the comforts of your home”.
Canberra Girls Grammar School prides itself on understanding the needs and aspiration of girls.
