[edit] History

An endearing myth associated with the College is that it was founded in the memory of the "Sons of Scotland who fought and died in The Great War of 1914-1918". However, a review of contemporary documentation indicates that the College was in the process of being established prior to the outbreak of war and that the "memorial" was an idea seized upon in a time of peace.

Scotch college was founded in 1919 and officially incorporated under an Act of Parliament in 1922. At its foundation, the college was an independent, Presbyterian school for boys'. 'Gratton House', now the Middle School, was built as a memorial to 57 Old Collegians' who were killed in World War II.

In 1972 the College became co-educational, and the Middle School began the following year.

Today the College is administered by a Council of Governors in connection with the Uniting Church in Australia.[8]
