The Pittwater House School, commonly called Pittwater House, is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in Collaroy, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school is relatively unique in providing single-sex education to both boys and girls in both primary and secondary school settings, on the one co-educational campus.
Overview
It was founded in 1961 as a preparatory school for boys. A girls' college followed, opening in 1975. The school's founder, Rex Henry Morgan, was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1969 and was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2002 for his contribution to education.
Pittwater House offers a comprehensive education for students from early learning, through Year K to Year 12, and is run coherently in three divisions:[1]
- The Junior School: Early Childhood Centre, Junior Girls' College and Boys' Preparatory School
- The Girls College: Year 7 - 12
- The Boys Grammar School: Year 7 - 12
The school offers gender-specific teaching combined with the social benefits of a co-educational campus - an education model known as twin-schooling, parallel education or diamond schooling and supported by acclaimed parent educator, Steve Biddulph AM.
