School association in Perth, Australia

Established in 1905 the Public Schools Association, or the PSA, is an association of seven independent boys schools in Perth, Western Australia. The descriptor 'public school' references the historical usage of the term and the model of the British public school. The schools compete against each other in athletic competition throughout the year. There are three main events held annually; the Head of the River rowing regatta, The Interschool Athletics Carnival, and the Interschool Swimming Carnival.

On the final day of the rowing season, all PSA Schools attend the Head of the River rowing regatta, the First VIII crews from all of the schools compete for the Head Of The River title. The Challenge Cup pre dates the formation of the PSA, having been presented 6 times by 1905. Until 1937 the Head of the River Race had been rowed in fours, from 1938 it has been rowed in eights.

The C. A. Hamer Cup was introduced in 1983, and is awarded to the school which scores the highest aggregate points in rowing at the Head of the River. It is named after Mr. C A Hamer who was headmaster of Wesley College from 1964 to 1983. In 2013 Guildford Grammar School won the Hamer Cup.

Rugby became a PSA Sport in 1961, and in 1963 the Rugby cup was renamed the Brother Redmond Cup, in honor of Brother M F Redmond, who was an influential teacher and sportsmaster at Aquinas College over a span of 45 years. Although the Trophy was first presented in 1963, the PSA Headmasters decreed at a meeting in 1962, that because all PSA schools had competed in Rugby since the first competition in 1961, then the original two years would also be included on the trophy.
