Western Australia
The Western Australian Branch of the IPSHA was formed in 1954 (as the WA Branch of the JSHAA), by Jeffrey G Hart, of Guildford Grammar School. The first formal gathering of Junior School Heads for the purpose of forming an Association was at Guildford Grammar School in 1954. The first formal meeting of the West Australian Branch was held at Christ Church Grammar School in May 1968, at the meeting a sub-committee was appointed for the purpose of drawing up a proposed constitution.
The founding members of the organisation were:
- Aquinas College,
- Christ Church Grammar,
- Guildford Grammar,
- Hale School,
- Scotch College,
- Trinity College,
- Wesley College
The Constitution was adopted on 5 July 1968, at the second meeting at Hale School in Perth. Currently, the WA branch features 32 member schools, most of which are located in the Perth Metropolitan area, as well as four observer schools.
