ABC Q&A

Named for one of the Canberra Grammar School’s most illustrious and influential former students, the CGS Gough Whitlam Address puts forth an innovative platform of stimulating speakers who bring together their expertise and the real-world wisdom achieved through experience. This powerful combination provides students with thoughtful reflection and a strong moral compass to approach their lives as informed citizens and global agents of change.

Continuing our engagement with current issues and ideas, Economics students attended ABC’s Annual Budget Q&A, filmed at ANU. Students witnessed the debates around Australia’s economic priorities and asked questions as part of the programme’s audience.

CGS Insight Series is a gateway for our community to explore invaluable intellectual discourse. Our unique Speaker Series, Special Performances and Masterclasses extend thoughtprovoking conversation beyond the walls of CGS, offering an enriching experience for all who attend.
