Template:Infobox Aust school private
Seymour College is an independent, Uniting Church, day and boarding school predominantly for girls', located at Glen Osmond, a suburb 5 km from the Central Business District of Adelaide, South Australia.
Established in 1922 as the Presbyterian Girls' College, Seymour has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 765 students from Pre-School (3 years of age) to Year 13, including 105 boarders. The school is co-educational in Pre-School, and girls only from Preparatory (4 years of age) to Year 13.
The college is affiliated with the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), and the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA).
History
Seymour College for girls was founded in 1922 as the Presbyterian Girls' College (PGC), following a desire of the Reverend Dr John Alfred Seymour, of the Scots Church, Adelaide, to provide South Australians with a Presbyterian day and boarding school for girls. It was established at its current location in Glen Osmond, then the site of the estate of "Wooton Lea". "Wooton Lea" is a large, plain Georgian house consisting of 17 rooms. It was built in 1861 for Francis Hardy Faulding, the founder of F.H. Faulding & Co, and his wife Elizabeth. Its next owner, G.S. Fowler, a principal of the firm of D.& J. Fowler, enlarged the building.
In 1977, following the amalgamation of the Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist Churches to form the Uniting Church, PGC was renamed Seymour College after the Reverend Dr John Alfred Seymour.
Campus
Seymour College is situated on a single 10 hectare campus, located 5 km from the Adelaide central business district, in the foothills of Adelaide. The campus is a blend of both old and new buildings. Some of the College's notable older buildings include the historic "Barr Smith House" (formerly the "Wooton Lea" mansion), the bluestone and brick former laundry, stables and cottages, pump house, and the former coach-house turned music room. Other facilities include: two theatres, a recreation centre including facilities for indoor basketball, netball, tennis, badminton, weights training and exercise, a science centre, two .ibraries, four computer labs, squash courts, swimming pool, an oval for athletics, softball, soccer and hockey, and a Boarding house including dining hall and health centre.
House system
As with most Australian schools, Seymour College utilises a house system; however, it is unique in that it is referred to as a "Clan" system. The four clans are as follows: (a) Bruce (White); (b) Cameron (Yellow); (c) Douglas (Blue); and Stewart (Red).
Notable alumni
Alumnae of Seymour College/Presbyterian Girls' College are known as Old Collegians' and may elect to join the schools alumni association, the Old Collegians' Association. Some notable Old Collegians' include:
