The spirit of service at GGS

At Geelong Grammar School, we work with our students to instil a courageous spirit of service.

Community Service is central to our belief as an Anglican School founded upon the principle of Christian charity. It develops the human experience of our girls and boys. It teaches them to give because they can, to have a firm sense of social justice, to be active in public life and to respect the environment.

GGS students are involved in a range of fundraising and service activities: they offer literacy support to students and visit nursing homes; they recognise the responsibilities of recycling, revegetation and conservation. Every year, the Lorne 160 project at our Corio Campus – concluding with a 160-kilometre run on the last day of Term 3 – supports local charities.

Our students plan together, devising activities to raise funds, seeking sponsorship, working for a world beyond their own, determined to do what is needed.
