Scots All Saints College is a multi-campus independent Presbyterian Church co-educational early learning, primary, and secondary day and boarding school, with two campuses in Bathurst New South Wales, Australia. Formed in 2019 through a merger of The Scots School, Bathurst (commonly referred to as Scots) which was founded in 1946, and the former All Saints' College in Bathurst which was founded in 1874. The college provides a religious and general education to approximately 800 children covering early learning through Kindergarten to Year 12.[ citation needed ]
The college is administered by a board appointed by the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in New South Wales.[ citation needed ]
The property on which the Bathurst campus of The Scots School was built in the late 1860s and early 1870s was originally called "Karralee", and it was owned by cattle and horse breeder John Lee. It is located in Kelso, New South Wales. It was bought by the trustees of the family of William Arnott (died 1901) of Arnott's Biscuits in the 1930s as a home for his daughter.[ citation needed ]
In 1942, The Scots College in Sydney leased the property for the relocation of its students from Bellevue Hill, Sydney, because of the fear of Japanese naval bombardment. The Scots College operated in Bathurst until 1945 when it moved back to Sydney. However many boys from central New South Wales were enrolled in the school and their parents asked the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in New South Wales to continue the school at Bathurst. Consequently, the Trustees bought "Karralee" and established the Scots School, Bathurst.[ citation needed ]
In 1997 the school changed from a high school (Years 7–12) to cater for primary school students too, and opened a preparatory school in the old Cooerwull boarding house, thus becoming K–12. In early 1997 the school Board decided that the school should change from being a boys only school to being co-educational, and the first female students were admitted in the fourth term of 1997. [1]
In 1873 Canon Thomas Smith of All Saints' Cathedral, Bathurst, with the support of Bishop Samuel Marsden began the process of starting the School. On January 27, 1874, the Bathurst Church of England College opened its doors to seven students under the headmastership of Henry Kemmis. Renamed All Saints' College, the school officially came into being and moved to its permanent site on the corner of Piper and Hope Streets after a successful fund raising campaign and the Bishop's donation of land.[ citation needed ]
In 1888 Edward Bean, the Senior Classics Master of Sydney Grammar, and father of C.E.W. Bean, succeeded Henry Kemmis. During the eleven years of his headmastership, the college enrolment grew significantly. Bean produced the badge and motto, designed the uniform, commenced the Bathurstian (the school year book), introduced the prefect system, cadets, debating, dancing and carpentry, as well as opening a library and the Prep School.[ citation needed ]
The third Headmaster was Frederick Tracey. During his tenure representatives of the college attended meetings in 1892 to set up the Athletics Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales; the college didn't proceed to active membership of the GPS and has never taken part in any of its activities. In 1893 the Old Bathurstians' Union was started. With their support, Tracey purchased the school from the Church, thus becoming its proprietor, a position he maintained until 1919 when he sold the land and buildings to the Government of New South Wales.[ citation needed ]
Originally the Assistant Master under Bean and the fourth Headmaster was Mr Britten. During his tenure the college became involved in rugby, football and cricket; several boys went on to play for NSW and Australia. He also persuaded the Old Bathurstians' Union to finance the building of a Chapel which they later moved brick by brick to the college's present location on the then Ophir Road, now Eglinton Road.[ citation needed ]
In 1911 Britten was succeeded by George Stiles. A linguist and an amateur boxing champion at Oxford University, he promoted French and German and brought boxing to the college. With the coming of war in 1914, enrolments dropped, staff became difficult to obtain and prices soared. On 30 June 1919, Stiles resigned and the college closed.[ citation needed ]
In 1923 the headmaster of Grammar School, Cooma, and one of his staff, Cameron McLeod, sought permission to re-open the college on its present site after purchasing Esrom House and 2 acres of adjoining land. The nearby Travellers' Rest Hotel was purchased for additional classrooms, and Walmer House on the river was leased for boarders.[ citation needed ]
In 1966 there were three headmasters: Roy Dent resigned, Vic Tunbridge of Geelong Grammar took over as acting Headmaster, and later in the year the Council appointed Peter Gebhardt as the tenth Headmaster. He introduced programmes including Eastern-Western Week (work experience), Outdoor Education and Arts and Artists Week, most of which continue today. He also initiated the building of the H.R. Richardson Memorial Library and Watson College (now Watson Boarding House).[ citation needed ]
Dan Massey was appointed Headmaster in 1975. He introduced co-education in 1976, and was instrumental in the college amalgamating with Marsden Girls School in 1977. In 1982 the Junior School was reopened under Doug Finlay.[ citation needed ]
Dan Massey resigned at the end of 1983 and Deputy Headmaster Bruce Clydsdale, took over until Robert Bickerdike was appointed in 1985. Previously Principal of Girton College and Head of Geelong Grammar's Timbertop, Mr Robert Bickerdike was headmaster for eight years, during which buildings were added and student numbers increased.[ citation needed ]
In 1993 Timothy Wright, formerly Second Master at Trinity Grammar Sydney, became headmaster. During his time as Headmaster, formal Pastoral Care Structure was developed and implemented within the college timetable. Wright oversaw the development of college facilities such as the building of the Foundation Block and the Evans Block, and the refurbishment of the Science Labs. The second stage of the Junior School Development was also completed during his time. In 1998 the inaugural Transition to School class commenced with a full complement. Dr Wright was appointed to Shore (Sydney Church of England Grammar School) in 2003.[ citation needed ]
Jenny Williams joined All Saints' College from Snowy Mountains Grammar at the start of 2003. She continued the development of the college, overseeing the refurbishment of Britten House, the Dining Room, the Music and IT Centres and the front of Esrom House. Williams remained as Head of college until 20 March 2008 when she accepted the position of Head of Samuel Marsden Collegiate School in Wellington, New Zealand.[ citation needed ]
Peter Miller was appointed Head of college at the start of Term 3, 2008. He had previously been Head of Middle School at Barker College, Sydney. Miller had received a Rowing Blue at Sydney University and represented Australia in the Senior B Lightweight Four. Mr Steven O'Connor started as Head of college at the start of Term 2, 2016.[ citation needed ]
All Saints' College was purchased by the Presbyterian Church NSW in 2017 and merged with The Scots School, Bathurst in 2018. The college became Scots All Saints College with its first official year of operation in 2019 as the Foundation Year.[ citation needed ]
