Southwood Boys Grammar School is an independent school located in Ringwood, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. It is the brother school of Tintern Girls Grammar School and was founded in 1999, accepting boys up to year 7. It now caters for boys from prep to year 12. It has a VCE and IB course; the latter of which is taken at the Tintern Campus. Students have access to many co-curricular activities including the unique Young Farmers program held at the Tintern campus.

[edit] History
Southwood accepted boys from prep to year 7 in 1999, then to year 8 in 2000 and so on until the first group of year 12s graduated in 2004. In its first years, Southwood had only 42 students from prep to year 7. The school grew progressively, slowly gaining more students, building new buildings to cater for them. Early on, Southwood only had the original building (currently housing the junior school) that it obtained from the primary school which previously occupied the site. A gymnasium, resource center and new classrooms were then constructed.
[edit] Head of Campus
The Head of Campus is the highest permanent position at Southwood (with only the Tintern Schools' Principal and Deputy Principal being higher.) Mr. Andrew Worner is the current Head of Campus, and was appointed in 2007 after the retirement of the then incumbent Mr. Michael Blood.

- Mr Michael Blood (1999 - 2006)
[edit] Song
In 2005, the school song, titled "Southwood Boys" was written by Paul Jarman, an Australian musician and was dedicated to Mike Blood, the head of campus at the time. The song is usually sung as part of the school's annual presentation night, the annual induction ceremony and occasionally in other important events.
