History

Carey Baptist Grammar School was founded by the Rev. L. E. Tranter, who, at the meetings of the Baptist Union of Victoria held in May 1919, urged consideration of a Baptist secondary school for boys. The present property, with the house Urangeline, was purchased for £14,000 and the school opened on 13 February 1923 with an enrolment of 68 boys. The school is named in honour of Rev. Dr William Carey, a Baptist missionary and self-taught language scholar who dedicated much of his life to humanitarian work in India in the late 18th century. In 1960, of land were purchased at

for sports grounds, an Outdoor Education facility was built near Paynesville in 1967 and a Junior School campus was built at Donvale in 1989 with 81 students to start off with. The school began co-education in 1979 when girls entered Years 11 and 12. Co-education was extended to all year levels in 1984. By 2011, the school achieved an even 50:50 gender split between boys and girls. The school bought the adjoining property named Cluny. The old buildings were demolished (except for the main building, Fairview) to make room for a new grass section for the Junior School at Kew, which was opened on 6 October 2006 and is known as Cluny Green. Fairview accommodates the Carey Swap Shop and the Junior School Art and Gardening studios. In 2019, the school bought the
