“A school that won an award for its design? That’s got to be something special!” You might be surprised to hear that the Camberwell Girls Grammar School Junior Campus actually won the award for “Best Designed Primary School in the World” in 2008. The Camberwell Girls Grammar School Junior Campus has a long and fascinating history. It was originally part of Ormiston Girls’ School, which was Australia’s oldest school for girls. In 1964, Ormiston Girls’ School merged with Camberwell Girls Grammar School. The Ormiston site became the Junior School, while the Camberwell site became the Senior School. In 2007, a brand new Junior School was built on Mont Albert Road in Canterbury. This brought the two schools together on one campus. The new Junior School was designed to be a modern and innovative learning environment. It features spacious classrooms, state-of-the-art facilities, and beautiful outdoor spaces. It’s no wonder it won such a prestigious award!
