History
Epping Boys High School opened in 1957. While there were girls at the school that year, the school wasn't in fact a co-educational school. Cheltenham Girls' High School also opened in 1957 but as its buildings were not ready the girls were accommodated on the Epping boys’ High School site, with their own Principal. In the following year the female students were transferred to the newly established Cheltenham Girls' High School site. Since then the school has continued to operate as a male only single-sex school. A pole, made by the Cheltenham Girls' High School students in 1957, now stands erected at the front of assembly area to mark the event. The school flag was sewn by the female students. Since Peter Garrard was appointed principal in 2007, a new timetable has been applied replacing the old one, in which major discussion has been created.
