Our school began as a Primary School called “St Paul’s Choir School”, where the Rector, Assistant Minister and Rector’s Warden started the school in 1984 at our Lakemba campus. Two years later, a secondary school by the name of Bankstown Grammar School, commenced and became an independent co-educational Anglican high school in 1988. In addition, 1988 was the first year girls were enabled the ability to enroll in the school. The process of the amalgamation of both Primary and Secondary schools began in 2004, and our school officially became one entity in January 2008 under the name of Bankstown Grammar School.
In 1984, St Paul’s Choir school was founded adjacent to the St Paul’s Church in Bankstown. Two years later, a split campus for high school student was founded at the Lakemba and Yagoona campus site. Bankstown Grammar School soon moved to the current campus on Bankstown Airport land in 198, and the Primary school soon followed in 1991.
As many private schools promoted the tradition of learning Latin and French as language studies, when Georges River Grammar was founded, they carried on a similar tradition. Latin was important and compulsory in Year 7 until 1988 when Ms Deans arrived at the school, introducing Japanese as a further option for students to enhance their knowledge in international languages.
With the coming of January 2011, the school adopted the name “Georges River Grammar”. This decision behind the chosen name was powered by the schools desire to reflect the reality that we draw broadly from the Georges River area, ensuring a unified identity with our entire community.
