NATIONAL BOARDING WEEK

National Boarding Week, observed from 15-21 May 2023, was a special time to celebrate boarding at CGS. With 130 boarders from local, interstate, and international areas, we aimed to raise awareness of the valuable benefits our boarding school offers young people and recognise the significant contributions of our boarders to the CGS community.

Throughout the week, an array of activities showcased the spirit of our boarding community. Day friends and staff members joined the boarders for a memorable dinner, and boarders led their tutor groups on tours of the boarding house, providing insights into the unique boarding experience. The week also featured a captivating whipcracking display during assembly, a chapel service, and an elegant formal dinner. To add to the fun, entertaining party games thrilled and challenged our boarders.

The week concluded with a touch football game, where everyone displayed humility and success.

National Boarding Week demonstrated how our boarders enrich the heart and soul of our school. Their presence and contributions make a significant difference, creating a vibrant and inclusive community at CGS.
