Outstanding Education. Values for life.
The PMSA – Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association – owns four outstanding Queensland schools: Brisbane Boys’ College, Clayfield College, Somerville House and Sunshine Coast Grammar School.
Established in 1918, the PMSA is a joint mission of the Uniting Church in Australia, Queensland Synod and the Presbyterian Church of Queensland.
One hundred years on, the PMSA Group plays a vital role in setting the direction of our four schools to deliver exceptional Christian educational environments and is the connecting link between the schools and the two churches.
Each PMSA school is unique and individual, but shares and is guided by our Christian values – relationships, care, ethics, personal development, excellence and celebration.
