History


In 1915, St James' Grammar School was established in Parish Hall at St James' Church. The school moved to its current site, Ivanhoe House at The Ridgeway, and changed its name to Ivanhoe Grammar School in 1920. Locksley House opened in 1924; it is located on the far south of Ridgeway Campus and today it is utilised for teaching English to ESL students, music and performing and fine art. The headmaster's residence, now the School House Administration Building, was built in 1928.
The first international students arrived at Ivanhoe Grammar School in 1941. In 1942, the school as occupied by the armed forces and the school relocated to Yea and St James' Parish Church. The Memorial Junior School, now Buckley House, opened in 1955. The first cadet unit formed in 1961. In 1964, the entire senior school moved from Locksley House to Ivanhoe House site, with Locksley becoming the boarding school. In 1967, the re-built Buckley Hall opened.
In 1977, after 62 years, Ivanhoe cancelled its boarding program and Locksley House became the middle school for year 7 and 8 students and Sherwood, whose membership was formerly exclusive to boarders, becomes the fourth day house.
In 1978, the Country Centre opened.
In 1985, land was purchased in the Plenty Valley (Mernda).
Ivanhoe Grammar School's Mernda Campus (later renamed the Plenty Campus) opened in 1990.
In 1992, the Mernda Campus became co-educational.
The International Baccalaureate was made available at The Ridgeway Secondary Campus in 1996.
In 1998, a new school uniform was introduced and the Memorial Junior School was renamed to Buckley House.
In 1999, Buckley House and The Ridgeway Campus went co-educational.
In 2001, the re-developed V.R.C Brown Centre and F.O. Watts Building open at the Ridgeway Secondary Campus, with a new school library.
2003 was the first year in which girls were admitted to the year 7 student intake to Ivanhoe/Ridgeway campus.
The Creative Arts Centre at Plenty Campus opened in 2005.
In 2007, the new T.R Lee Science Building was opened by the governor of Victoria.
Also in 2007, Ivanhoe Grammar School established an equestrian training centre at Mernda Campus.

In June 2015, Ivanhoe Grammar teacher Graeme Harder pleaded guilty to multiple sex offences against a male between the ages of 10 and 16. Harder had been with the school for at least 30 years. The offences occurred between 1 April 1991 and 22 April 1992, with Harder suspended from the school on 4 March, the day he was charged with the offences. His suspension was not communicated to students and parents until a week later, on 11 March.

In 2017, construction of a new car park located under the school oval began; it was completed in mid–2018. Following the completion of this project, work began on a new multi-level Sports and Aquatic Centre at the Ridgeway Campus, located in the Locksley area of the Ridgeway Campus. This complex, comprising four basketball / multi purpose courts, a 52 metre pool, weights room, aerobics studio and roof-top tennis courts, was opened in June 2022.
In May 2020, Ivanhoe narrowly avoided an appearance before the Fair Work Commission following staff layoffs in response to funding difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Independent Education Union was to argue that a "downturn in work does not justify Victorian school Ivanhoe Grammar's stand-downs of non-teaching staff under the Fair Work Act."
