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]
