Welcome to our CGS Blog.

CGS is proud to announce that our R+ Reading Clinic will be available during the school year. The Remediation + Clinic is intended for children, ages 4-9, who are experiencing particular difficulty processing language and require one-on-one, specialized, in-depth instruction based on the science of reading. Clinic hours are after school and on Saturdays. It…

A few weeks ago I read a blog by Karell Roxas that made me think of all of our CGS families heading off for a two month long summer holiday. I hope Karell won’t mind me paraphrasing parts of her article, making it relevant for our school community, as I feel it is a valuable…

Congratulations to everyone for a school year well lived! Time flies ever faster it seems, but not so fast that we can’t capture the memories along the way.  The Final Assembly is such a nice opportunity to look back over the year and celebrate all that we have achieved as a community.

These two little people both made significant contributions, one to our school library and one to Children of Hope Uganda, by choosing to give to others instead of taking for themselves. Thank you to S. for asking her friends to purchase a…

The Norval Sleepover is a right of passage for Grade 2 and 3 students at CGS. In the words of Grade 2 student Charlie, ‘The trip to Norval is real bucket list stuff.’ Charlie is right, the experience of being away at camp, usually for the first time, is a really big one for the…

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We can’t say it enough. Without the hard work of the PA Executive, and all of our parent volunteers, CGS community life would not be nearly as rich as it is. From Fall Family Fun Night to CGS Mum’s Night Out (to only name two of the many events…
