Our School

St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School, owned and operated by The Society of the Sacred Advent Schools Pty Ltd, is an independent School for day students and boarders with 900 students from Pre-Preparatory to Year 12.

There are approximately 300 girls in the Primary School and 500 in the Secondary School. Boarding has been an integral part of the School’s life and 185 girls from Years 7 to 12 are accommodated at St Margaret’s.

St Margaret’s has a proud history dating back to its establishment in 1895 by The Sisters of The Society of the Sacred Advent. The School is founded on a philosophy of six core values: courage, faith, integrity, passion, respect and spirit, with the School motto Per Volar Sunata, Born to Fly Upwards, inspiring St Margaret’s students to achieve their personal best in all endeavours.

As a member of the Queensland Girls’ Secondary Schools Sports Association Inc (QGSSSA), St Margaret’s participates in a range of academic, sporting and cultural competitions against other long-standing Brisbane schools.

St Margaret's Anglican Girls School is also a member of the Alliance of Girls' Schools and advocates the benefits of single-sex schooling for girls. Some of these are outlined in the AGSA's brochure, 'Why a Girls' School?'.
