The school originally opened in a former boys school, Eton High School at Nundah, but eventually moved to Ascot, its current location. Sister Emma was in charge of the school and the headmistress was Miss Caine. There were 23 boarders and 4 day pupils by 1902. Nundah is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland. ...

In 1907, the school moved to Toorak House but three years later the School moved again to Albion Heights. Two years later it was renamed as St Margaret's Church of England Girls' School.

The School celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1970 with the opening of Toorak with its library, staff room and science laboratories.
