21.01.2022 Anglicare NSW South, NSW West & ACT asked for help - our students answered the call! They have been blown away with the generosity of our students and community. We collected and delivered approximately 30 shopping trolley loads of donations - an amount that they have not seen before on such short notice! The ELC, Junior School, Middle School and Senior School all thoughtfully contributed items for those in great need in Canberra. In spite of what this year has brought, the "greatest of these is love" 1 Corinthians 13:13.

13.01.2022 We're very proud of the achievements of our staff and students. This #FlashbackFriday we're looking back to 2019 when Burgmann’s former Head of Senior School and author of the BAS History Book, John Foulcher, was awarded the coveted ACU Prize for Poetry. When asked what his poem ‘Revising Casuarinas’ is about, John explained It’s a poem about ageing, and the solace we find in things and the things we do as we grow older. It’s about memory, love, affection and friendship.

12.01.2022 The Burgmann Anglican School 2020 Fair scheduled for tomorrow Friday 13 March is cancelled. As a responsible community citizen, the School has determined it is better to err on the side of caution and take this action to assist in minimising and slowing any potential spread of COVID-19 within the ACT community. We know there are many who will be disappointed and acknowledge the tireless effort of the organising committee, volunteers, stall holders, and sponsors in supporting ...this much anticipated community event. We hope to see you all next year! Further details are available at www.burgmann.act.edu.au

10.01.2022 Our Middle School students were visited by aspiring Olympian Hayley Baker at a recent Assembly Hayley is aiming to represent Australia in the Backstroke at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. Her message to the students was, "You can only control what you can control, not what other people do."
