Year 7 Parents Welcome Morning Tea

The Parents & Friends Association was proud to support the Year 7 Parents Welcome Morning Tea on Friday 27 January. 

At the conclusion of the badge ceremony where the new students were inducted into Year 7 at CGGS, the parents were invited to a morning tea to get to know each other and meet CGGS staff. The morning tea was well attended and there was an amazing atmosphere of excitement and anticipation of a great year ahead

The President of the PFA, Terry McAleenan welcomed parents and encouraged all to become involved in the school community benefitting all students and creating a wonderful environment for them to thrive. As Terry says, “it takes a village to raise our children” and what a wonderful village we have.

Old Grammarian Visit

We welcomed two old grammarians back to the school, Andrea Brown (Cohen, 1984) and Dorinda Bonanno (De Forest, 1984), Head Prefect of 1984.

Both Andrea and Dorina were delighted to have a tour of the school on Friday 27th January.

Dorinda was visiting from America and was keen to see how the school had changed since leaving in 1984.  Andrea and Dorinda had a wonderful time reminiscing about their time and CGGS and were both impressed with all the changes to the school.

It is always wonderful to reconnect with our old grammarians and they are always welcome back at the school.
