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.
