School History & Details

Educating "the whole girl" has been the Kambala community's mission since our pioneering days in the 1887. Kambala School started out as a modest class of twelve girls taught by Miss Louisa Gurney, an English clergyman's daughter, in a Woollahra terrace house. Mademoiselle Augustine Soubeiran eventually joined Louisa and took on the role of Co-Principal. In 1891, the school relocated to "Kambala," a larger location in Bellevue Hill. With approximately 50 students enrolled in 1913, the school relocated once more to its present location on New South Head Road in Rose Bay.
