Our History
Cobram Anglican Grammar School began in 2000 as Christ the King Anglican College (CKC). The College had a founding enrolment total of 26 students spread across Years 5, 6 and 7.
The original College site was once a thriving orchard. The prominent local Cornish family generously donated the land.
The founding Principal, Mr Andrew Williams, worked tirelessly to establish the College in the local community.
Founding members of staff were Mrs Tricia Seccull, Mrs Heather Stammers, Mrs Simone Tynan and Mrs Allyson Willis.
The original College consisted of one building incorporating the Principal's office, Library, staffroom and two classrooms.
Christ the King Anglican College was built through the generosity and vision of many in the local community and the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta.
Bishop David Farrer was the first chairman of the College, while Fr. Lyall Cowell was a driving force behind the College in its early years.
The Gearing Wing was added in 2001, greatly expanding the number of available classrooms.
The original administration building was opened 2003.
In 2005 the first CKC students completed Year 12 and obtained their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). The Science Wing was also constructed in 2005.
In 2006 the first group of Foundation students joined the College. Since then, the Junior School (Foundation to Year 6) has steadily grown, establishing a great history of addressing the academic and pastoral needs of its students.
In 2009 the Arts and Technology Wing was opened at the southern end of the College. This facility enabled the College to enrich its offerings in the Arts. Students now have access to a modern, well equipped visual and ceramic arts classroom with its own kiln.
During 2010 the current Library and Junior School classroom blocks were constructed. The new facilities were opened in 2011, together with a senior computer lab and a new sports oval, replacing the original orchard.
2012 saw the opening of more classroom facilities for Junior School students. These facilities were enhanced with the addition of the current adventure playground.
In response to steadily increasing enrolments, additional classrooms were added in 2014 , including a dedicated Food Technology room.
In January 2015, Christ The King Anglican College became part of the Anglican Schools Commission and subsequently changed its name to Cobram Anglican Grammar School (Cobram AGS).
2016 saw the construction of a covered basketball court and an area which included what is now the school gymnasium.
Further construction in 2017 saw the Performing Arts Centre be developed and the Arts Technology Wing extended. The landscaped surrounds now provided students with a more relaxing outdoor space to enjoy at recess and lunch time.
In 2019 the School's Agriculture Centre was extended and students now grow a variety of crops, fruit and vegetables.
In 2020 the pedestrian crossing and development of Campbell Road upgraded the front of the School.
2021 saw an expansion of our sub-school structure, now functioning as two instead of three - Junior School (Foundation to Year 6 and Senior School (Years 7 to 12).
Cobram Anglican Grammar School is an exciting place to be presently and promises to be even more so in the future as we continue to develop and implement our School Master Plan and expand our facilities.
