Izzie (Y12) has been accepted into the Sydney Dance Company’s Pre-Professional Year for 2024. The program selects aspiring professional dancers aged between 18–24 years to experience full-time training with the Sydney Dance Company. In the program, dancers work towards completing an Advanced Diploma of Professional Dance (Elite Performance) over two years. Izzie joins Alice Collins (Class of 2022) on the list of CGGS students selected for the program.
This week Zara (Y5) ran a shoe throwing competition to raise money for the Alimo Academy, as part of her PYP Exhibition action. Junior School students donated a gold coin to participate, with a prize given to the teacher and student who threw their shoe the furthest.
Georgia (Y8) and her group, the Youth Advisory Committee of Fearless Women, have been nominated for the 2023 Young Canberra Citizen of the Year award. The Awards recognise and celebrate individual young people and groups of young people who have made a big personal achievement or have been actively involved in the community. The Youth Advisory Committee of Fearless Women provide information to their peers on such as what you wish you knew about boys and girls, body image and vapes.
Recently Year 10 design and technology students completed their Augmented Reality Sandbox legacy project. This interactive work allowed students to shape the topography of sand in a box using a LiDAR Scanner to detect height, then render in an open source program to project elevation contours and bathymetry.
It was a mesmerising way to learn about geographic landforms, but also design and emerging technologies.
The Year 10 HPE classes recently participated in stand-up paddle boarding on Lake Burley Griffin. The activity forms part of a Term 4 elective program for Year 10 HPE students.
On Wednesday we bid farewell to the Senior Class of 2023. It was an emotional morning for our Year 12 group, who walked through the gates of CGGS as students for the last time. Peers from Years 7 to 11 formed a guard of honour for the CGGS Year 12 graduating class and sent them off in style.
