St. Margaret's

Exterior of building

St. Margaret’s first opened in 1913 and resided in two locations before moving to its present site with purpose-built premises in 1925. The girls looked forward to the opening of the new house and were thrilled with the bright, airy and modern surroundings, "One of our great delights is the electric light" they recorded in the College magazine", there was also a sick wing which looked "so inviting that it is almost a temptation to be ill". St. Margaret’s has also always been popular for its direct access to Field.

Cheerful, enthusiastic and considerate
