It became Camberwell Girls' High School in 1958, having a number of official names throughout the 1950s. In 1961 the name Canterbury Girls' High School was adopted. In 1989, after consultation with the school community, the school's name was changed in line with Government policy to Canterbury Girls' Secondary College. It remains a girls state school. [2]
