Somerset College, Independent school in Mudgeeraba, Gold Coast, Australia.
Somerset College is an independent school in Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast, teaching from early childhood through to senior secondary levels. Wide lawns, rows of trees and brick buildings form a campus accessible from a single road and surrounded by hills.
The school opened in 1983 under the patronage of the Queensland Premier at the time. It grew from a small site into a large campus that now accommodates several teaching stages.
The campus takes its name from old pastoral land and the families who once lived here. Today, students move between gardens, courtyards and buildings designed for different levels.
Visitors report to reception near the main entrance. Administration staff provide information about appointments and rooms if arranged in advance.
The school hosts an annual literature event each March that invites authors from several countries. Thousands of visitors attend for readings and discussions held across the grounds.
