History
Immanuel College was founded in 1895 at Point Pass (north of Eudunda, east of the Clare Valley), before its subsequent move to North Adelaide in 1921. During WWII, the buildings were required by the Air Force, and the college was forced to temporarily move to North Walkerville for the period 1942-1946. In 1949, land at Novar Gardens was acquired from the Morphett family property 'Cummins', and the school was eventually established there in 1957. Cummins House was sold to the State Government in 1977, and Immanuel College leased that property for 5 years from 1982 to 1987.
