St Margaret's School is an independent, non-denominational day school with a co-educational primary school and an all girls high school. It is the sister school of Berwick Grammar School. The school is located in Berwick, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
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.
