PRIMARY SCHOOL SPORT

It has been a marvellous year for Primary Sport at CGS. The school had student representatives for ACT and Nationals Swimming, a fantastic Cross Country and Athletics Carnival, House Spirit at the House Gala Carnival and encouraging, energetic community gatherings for our Infants Carnivals.

Students were provided with opportunities to represent the School at a variety of Tournaments and Gala Days, such as Primary School Brumbies Championships, ACT Schools Snow Cup in Perisher, ACT Cricket Primary Cup, South Weston, Nationals and ACT for Cross Country running and Track and Field to name a few.

The Green Project

‘The Green Project’ was implemented in the Primary School in Term 2 of 2022. The project’s ultimate aim is to nurture students to become active guardians of the planet rather than passive consumers. The initiatives within The Green Project are an exercise in mindfulness that students and staff can take beyond the School to their homes and other places of visitation, thus putting into practice the shared values of the CGS community. These values influence and shape the way we serve and engage with our community in order to make a positive difference to the world around us.

The Green Project was launched as part of a House Project and has now grown into an ongoing initiative that will encompass school wide behaviour change and action. Some key initiatives under the ‘Green Project’ included a waste audit, implementation of compost bins, establishment of the green team (currently 18 members from Kindergarten – Year 6) and a partnership with Zeroco sustainable school fundraising programme.
