Horton College was a 19th-century independent Wesleyan methodist boys' boarding school, at Mona Vale near Ross, Tasmania, Australia. Founded by Captain Samuel Horton in 1855, the College closed in 1894; and during its brief period it was considered an extremely prestigious school,[1] counting many of the region's landed families of the period as students.[2]
Its first headmaster was John Manton, and for many years its motto was the Latin: Nil sine magno labore (Nothing without great exertion). This was replaced by the Latin: Perseverantia Palman Obtinebit (Perseverance will win the prize). The school building itself was an impressive red brick structure, designed by William Archer[3] and its ruins were listed on the (now-defunct) Register of the National Estate from 1978.[4]
