Clyde School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clyde School was founded as a private girls' school in 1910 in St. Kilda by Miss. Isabel Henderson. In 1919 it moved to Braemar House, Woodend and in 1921 it was transformed into a public school.

In 1976 Clyde School, Geelong Church of England Grammar School, and Geelong Church of England Girls' Grammar School "The Hermitage" amalgamated, and today the combined school continues as Geelong Grammar School
