Reeks 066/2 - Reports and correspondence relating to the founding of the school

Established in 1889 at Thomas Moore's property at Liverpool. The trustees of Moore College proposed to found a grammar school, when Moore Theological College was being moved to Newtown. The Bishop of Sydney was the President of the School Council, which also included the lay trustee of Moore College, the Principal of Moore College, the Rector of Liverpool, and two laymen of St Luke's Parish, Liverpool. Th buildings at Liverpool were transferred to the Grammar School with the exception of the chapel. The school opened with between 30 and 40 day students and boarders in July 1889. Mr W. Basil Worsfold M.A. was the Headmaster, followed by Mr R.F. Irvine. In December 1892 Mr Irvine informed the trustees that he could not meet the school's costs, and he resigned in 1893. The buildings were placed into the charge of a caretaker, and the rents from the farm lands were sent to the College in Newtown.
