Welcome to Somerville House

The only Uniting Church Pre-Prep to Year 12 day and boarding school for girls located right in the heart of Brisbane.

For 125 years we’ve evolved our teaching to the way girls learn best. Every Somerville girl is known and cared for, compassionate and confident, and empowered to believe in themselves and their potential.

International Baccalaureate

As we embark on our International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and Diploma Programme Authorisation we continue to demonstrate our leadership in girls’ education. Four key principles guide our teaching and learning framework – Engagement, Excellence, Empowerment and Diversity – and provide the foundations for our girls’ success.

Principal of Somerville House

As we celebrate 125 years of girls’ education at Somerville House we look to build on Eliza Fewing’s legacy and our rich history by focusing on three core areas: strengthening our student voice, community and culture; making Somerville House an extraordinary place to work; and by empowering our girls to have shared purpose in creating better communities and a better world.
