The School Archives contain cherished records documenting the tradition, history and unique identity of Toorak College.

Discover materials stretching right back to the very first days of Toorak College, through to this very year. Here, you can view over 10,000 named and dated photographs, as well as every edition of the Elizabethan and Elephant Magazine ever published.

These photographs and magazines have been sourced over decades by the volunteer members of the Toorak College Archives committee - proudly established and led for many years by Collegian Mrs Elizabeth Beischer (young, TC 1952). In 2020, through the generosity of Collegian Ms Christine Friday (TC 1964), this vast collection of resources were able to be digitised, bringing the stories of Toorak College to life for all our community members.
