Southport School in Goldcoast is an independent Anglican boarding school for boys founded in 1901 by Horace Henry Dixon.
This school is an associate member of the Boarding Schools Association (ABSA), the Independent Schools Association of Australia (AHISA), the Independent Schools Association of Queensland (ISQ). Member of the Great Association of Queensland Public Schools (GPS) since 1920.
Like most schools in Australia, Southport uses a house system – faculties, like the one we see at Hogwarts. The senior classes are divided into twelve houses, eight are full-time students, and the remaining four are interns. The preparatory school is also divided into four houses. Houses compete with each other, the most successful one receives a prize at the end of the year – a shield.
The school has a strong sports tradition, dozens of famous athletes of national and international class have graduated from here.
