Prince Alfred College
The College crest incorporates a cross and four groups of scallop shells. A scallop shell, associated with the apostle James, is a mark of pilgrimage or crusade. The coronet and the horizontal label at the top of the shield, with its two anchors, are found in the coat of arms of Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Victoria. The date ‘1869’ is the school’s foundation year.

Prince Alfred College (also referred to as PAC, Princes, or in sporting circles, the Reds)[3][4][5] is a private, independent, day and boarding school for boys, located on Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town – near the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. Prince Alfred College was established in 1869 by the Methodist Church of Australasia, which amalgamated with other Protestant churches in 1977 to form the Uniting Church in Australia.

The school has enrolment of some 1,160 students from Reception to Year 12 (ages 2 to 18),[1] including some 151 boarders from years seven to twelve.[2] Prince Alfred College launched its own Early Learning Centre, Little Princes, in 1999, which was renamed Princes ELC in 2009, with a current enrolment of 260 students.[6]
