History
The PSA was formed in 1905 by Christian Brothers College (now recorded as Aquinas College), the Church of England Grammar School (now Guildford Grammar School), The High School (now Hale School) and Scotch College as a group of independent boys schools. The PSA invited Wesley College to join in 1952, followed by Christ Church Grammar School in 1956 and Trinity College (the continuation of Christian Brothers College without the PSA records) in 1968. The presidency of the PSA is held by the principal of the "host school" which rotates annually among member schools. To celebrate the centenary of the PSA in 2005, every student of the PSA was given a commemorative pin.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
