History

Brighton Grammar School was founded on 14 February 1882, with eight male students. By 1890, 160 boys were in attendance. During the depression of the 1890s, students numbers declined rapidly. Brighton Grammar School’s first site was Temperly Lodge, located on Outer Crescent, north of Allee St. where the school’s Urwin Centre for Learning currently stands. The School’s second site, Pendennis on New St., was opened in 1886 when the school boasted near 160 pupils. In 1905, the Headmaster and founder purchased Rosstrevor, a large estate south of Allee St and its surrounding swampland. This land is now known as the Crowther Oval, sitting at the centre of the school. The oval was constructed by the help of “Old Boy engineers” who called upon “4000 loads of filling” to produce the oval. The school founder, George Henry Crowther was

Harry Arnold A. Crowther, subsequently assumed the role. Crowther retired in 1924, when Herbert E. Dixon took over. Under Dixon, the school came near to bankruptcy, however was saved by incorporation under the auspices of the Church of England. In February of 1927, the Governor-General Lord Stonehaven opened the present site of Brighton Grammar’s Quadrangle. Dixon continued in expanding the school until his retirement in 1938. Geoffrey G. Green was headmaster until sickness resulted in his resignation in 1942. His successor was Reverend Phillip St. John Wilson. In 1958, Brighton Grammar joined the

(APS), and soon after purchased grounds on the former Brighton Gas Company site, where "Wilson House", now the

, was to be built to accommodate the growing student numbers. Under Wilson, the school’s facilities grew, with the Tower Wing of the Quadrangle expanded, the first Annandale Pavilion constructed, and the Memorial Hall (where BGS’ library now stands) constructed. With Wilson as Headmaster, enrolment continued to grow at a high rate. The number of boys reached 800 during the 1960s. From 1967 to 1995, Robert Lancelot Rofe was headmaster. Rofe oversaw a large change in the school, with BGS’ facilities drastically expanded to accommodate an increasing number of students. Physical changes included the construction of the swimming pool at Wilson House, the Clive Crosby building (now the B-Hive) the Zachariah Wing, Baddiley Building at Wilson House and the Robert Sanderson Centenary Hall. In addition to these, the R. L. Rofe Creative Arts Centre accommodating music, woodwork, art and design was constructed and named in the Headmaster’s honour. Michael Spencer Urwin was appointed headmaster at the beginning of 1996. He had previously held the position of deputy headmaster at Brisbane Grammar School, and began his term by implementing a

and resource centre, and specialist classroom facilities were built to upgrade facilities in the senior school as well as the middle school later on. Urwin saw the purchase of the Girrawheen site north of Allee Street (now the Urwin Centre for Learning), the construction of the Atrium and Senior Library, and the resurfacing of the H.V. Mitchell and Junior ovals to synthetic. In 2011, under Urwin still, the Peter Toms Early Learning Centre was established, whilst construction began on the new middle school. Enrolment sat at unprecedented level at Urwin’s departure from Brighton Grammar, with 1262 boys on the roll at the period when Ross P. Featherston was appointed Headmaster of Brighton Grammar School. So far, under Featherston, the school has undergone redevelopment, with improvements to the G.B. Robertson Hall at Wilson House, renovation of the Crosby Building into the B-Hive, complete reconstruction of the Annandale Pavilion, internal renovations to the Argyle Building, the Tower and Hancock Wings and the Junior School, as well as ambitious projects such as the Urwin Centre for Learning (opened 2014) and the upcoming Centre for Science, Creativity and Entrepreneurship turning soil in late 2022. In 2022, BGS celebrated its 140th anniversary. The program BGS2032 was created by the school to mark where BGS would be at its 150th anniversary.
