History

St Margaret's School was established in 1926 with 18 pupils, as an affiliate of the Presbyterian church, in the manse of the Toorak Presbyterian Church. In 1927 St Margaret's School moved to Mayfield Avenue, Malvern, and in 1931 leased the former Governor's residence, Stonington. By the 1930s St Margaret's School had grown to 330 pupils. In 1929 the Berwick Presbyterian Girls’ School was purchased. This branch of the main School was established in 1930, with a purpose-built boarding house, Campbell House. [2]

The school was originally owned by its principal, Dora Gipson, until 1947 when she sold it to the parents and Old Girls as she needed to retire due to illness. [3]

St Margaret's School was incorporated in 1948 and the first Council established. [4]

It operated as a "rural boarding school" and was run as such until 1978. [5] The school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 824 students from Pre-Prep to Year 12, across the St Margaret's School campus in Berwick and the boys campus, Berwick Grammar School in Officer.

In 2006, St Margaret's School Council announced its decision to establish a brother school for St Margaret's. This school opened in 2009 named Berwick Grammar School, catered for boys in Years 7 to 12. [6]

In 2021 the two schools were formally brought together under a new name St Margaret’s Berwick Grammar. [7]
