CGGS is perfectly positioned in the heart of the nation’s capital.
Located in the inner-city suburb of Deakin, transport options are easily accessible for students from all corners of the Canberra region. Partnerships with local transport providers in the ACT and Regional NSW ensure that a life-changing CGGS education is just a simple a bus ride away.
Transport Canberra makes travelling to and from CGGS quick and easy for families residing within the ACT.
To travel with Transport Canberra, students will need to purchase a Student MyWay card online, at a MyWay Recharge Agent or at any Access Canberra Service Centre. If you are entitled to travel under the Student Transport Program, contact 13 17 10 to have your concession added to your card.
From Term 1 2025, CGGS will provide two dedicated bus routes for Kindergarten–12 students, available for pick-up and drop-off:

The bus service is operated by Deanes Coaches.
Families interested in accessing these services will have the opportunity to sign-up upon acceptance of their enrolment.
CDC Canberra provides an extensive transport schedule for families living in Jerrabomberra, Googong, Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Murrumbateman, Yass, Gundaroo, Collector and Michaelago. These bus routes pick-up and drop-off students directly to CGGS, and is free as part of the School Student Transport Scheme for most students residing in NSW.
Several rural services in Braidwood and Cooma also connect with CDC Canberra bus routes to make travel to CGGS possible.
CGGS offers boarding options to cater to your family’s needs in a modern world. Beyond full time boarding, there are various boarding choices to provide convenience and consistency—especially if you live just across the ACT boarder.
Weekly boarding
Weekly boarding can take some of the pressure off busy family life. Students stay four nights at School (Monday to Thursday) then three nights at home (Friday to Sunday). This is an excellent solution for families who live rurally—it is popular for those within a 1.5 hour radius of Canberra, or parents/carers who need to manage shift, extended, interstate or international work commitments.
Casual boarding
‘As required’ boarding is an attractive support option to back up families to meet their commitments, better manage short times of transition, or unexpected events. For example, a student may have sport or music or another activity after School. Rather than travel afterhours, they can stay in the Boarding House for one or two nights a week (subject to availability). Or, a fortnightly booking may help out parents/carers who are called to travel for an unforeseen business trip or in times of illness or emergency.
