3.Corin-Greene High School

ABOUT US:-The area chosen for the capital had been inhabited by Indigenous Australians for up to 21,000 years,[13] with the principal group being the Ngunnawal people. European settlement commenced in the first half of the 19th century, as evidenced by surviving landmarks such as St John’s Anglican Church and Blundells Cottage. On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies of Australia was achieved. Following a long dispute over whether Sydney or Melbourne should be the national capital,[14] a compromise was reached: the new capital would be built in New South Wales, so long as it was at least 100 miles (160 km) from Sydney. The capital city was founded and formally named as Canberra in 1913. A blueprint by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin was selected after an international design contest, and construction commenced in 1913.[15] The Griffins’ plan featured geometric motifs and was centred on axes aligned with significant topographical landmarks such as Black Mountain, Mount Ainslie, Capital Hill and City Hill. Canberra’s mountainous location makes it the only mainland Australian city where snow-capped mountains can be seen in winter; although snow in the city itself is rare.

4.St Clare’s College

ABOUT US:-This school was intended to accommodate all Catholic Secondary girls in Canberra, but by 1961 enrolments were becoming so heavy that His Grace, Archbishop O’Brien decided that a new Catholic Girls’ High School had to be built in Canberra to cater for the south-side secondary school girls.Suitable land in the suburb of Griffith was made available by the National Capital Development Commission and the Department of the Interior.Catholic Girls’ High School Griffith (as St Clare’s College was originally known) was blessed by His Grace, Archbishop O’Brien on Sunday 30 May 1965 at 2.30pm and was officially opened by Senator Gorton, the Minister-in-Charge of Commonwealth Activities in Research and Education.The staff at Catholic Girls’ High School Griffith was provided on a regional basis in the same way as the enrolment was drawn from the Southside suburbs of Canberra. The founding Principal was Sister Clare Slattery, a Good Samaritan Sister.The Religious Orders staffing the primary schools, from which pupils proceeded to the new High School, also provided staff for the new regional High School at Griffith.This arrangement was first effected at Catholic Girls’ High Braddon and was unique in Catholic schools in Australia as it maintained contact between the Order, the girl, and the Parish.At the opening of the School, the Religious teaching staff numbered eight Sisters, comprising two representatives from each of the following congregations Sisters of the Society of Jesus, Mary and JosephThe Sisters of Charity joined the community two years later.They were later joined by the Sisters of Charity. The first lay staff members joined the four Religious Orders during 1965.The title of the school was changed officially from CGHS Griffith to St Clare’s College in 1980. The school was named after two significant women:Saint Clare of Assisi, who was considered to represent an ideal of womanhoodSister Clare Slattery, the founding Principal of the College.Providing excellence in girls’ education since 1965 the College is now the largest Catholic girls’ secondary school in Canberra with a wide variety of subjects, a high academic standard and a commitment to the Gospel message.

5.Blue Gum Primary & Secondary Schools

ABOUT US:-Blue Gum Community School is a ‘real world’ learning environment, which is designed to be a microcosm of, and an access point to, the broader community. Students of all ages are active participants in, and citizens of, the real world; they are instinctive researchers of the world around them, seeking knowledge and skills. Students and educators work together as co-researchers investigating/exploring/theorizing, in the process of making meaning. New forms of expression are often needed, so the arts offer a rich source of creative ‘tools’ and different ‘languages’, through which to think ‘outside the box’, explore ideas, and then to communicate their findings and responses to others.Students are learning that their identity is bound up in their community and the part they play in it. To be mutually beneficial, this relationship requires deep respect and active listening. Community is founded on relationships, which invariably have high points and low points. As part of living in the real world, students will experience conflicts, disagreements and annoying people in everyday life – they need to learn and practise strategies for handling these situations constructively. In the process, they discover the powerful learning that emerges when they work in collaboration with many different ‘others’.
