History
Bacchus Marsh Grammar School opened in February 1988.[2]
In 2015, the school received negative press for its treatment of a transgender student who identified as a boy but staff required him to wear "the girls uniform".[3] The student transferred to a public school with gender-neutral bathrooms to complete high school.[4]
In 2024 a teenage male was arrested after using social media to share deepfaked pornographic images of fifty female Bacchus Marsh students in years 9 to 12.[5]
In 2025, Debra Ogston succeeded Andrew Neal as the school's principal.[1]
