History
St Anne's Church of England Girls School was founded in 1924. Gippsland Grammar School for boys commenced in 1961. The two schools amalgamated as St. Anne's and Gippsland Grammar School in 1971. For a period of time, the School was known by the acronym STAGGS, but became known as Gippsland Grammar in 1997.
Today, Gippsland Grammar caters for students from three years of age through to Year 12, with boarding facilities for secondary students.
The former site of St Anne's Church of England Girls Grammar School has been developed as the Junior School, known as St Anne's Campus. This site also contains the boarding houses for both boys and girls.
The Senior School, is located on the former Gippsland Grammar School site on the northern side of Sale, adjacent to Bishopscourt.
In January 2006 a new Bairnsdale campus was opened for primary school students.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
