History
First day, 1923 outside Urangeline House

Founded in 1923, the school has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 2,500 students from ELC to Year 12.[9]

In 1971, the William Carey Chapel was opened. The design was led by the chaplain of the school at the time, Alan Wright. The chapel was paid for by the 'Forward Carey' Appeal of 1960. Construction began in 1969. In 2020, the chapel was declared heritage listed by the local Boroondara Council.[10]

The school began co-education in 1979 when girls entered Years 11 and 12.[9] By 2011, the school achieved an even gender split between boys and girls.[2]

The school celebrated its centenary year in 2023 with various celebrations throughout the year.[11]

Principals

There have been eight principals (formerly headmasters before 1989) since the school was founded in 1923. The current principal is Jonathan Walter, since January 2020.[12]
