[edit] History

The CAS was initiated by Knox Grammar School’s first Headmaster, Neil MacNeil, in 1928 when he proposed an association with Barker College, Cranbrook School, Trinity Grammar School, All Saints College, Bathurst, St Aloysius' College and Knox Grammar School. All had tried and failed to join the GPS.

The association was formed in 1929 to provide sporting and co-curricular competition with the foundation members being the above schools with the exception of All Saints, who were not mentioned again. Waverley College had its application of June 1929 deferred until it finally joined in the 1940s. The reason behind this was due to the fact that the Headmaster of Trinity Grammar School throughout the 1930s - Mr Daniel Feoderoff, came to an impasse with Waverley Headmaster at the time, Mr Edward Nelson, over school-fee issues. This issue questioned the integrity of the school and the application was held-up until 1941. At this point in time, Waverley had gained a new Headmaster - Mr Andrew Denman.

Since 1935, a representative from each CAS and GPS school has competed in the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition.

The CAS is primarily provides sporting competitions between the various school including Swimming and Athletics, Summer Sports of Cricket, Basketball and Winter Sports of Rugby, Football (Soccer) and Cross Country.

Apart from sport, the CAS also offers a wide range of cultural activities such as cadet competitions, chess, debating and public speaking.

Representatives from all six schools meet regularly to determine sporting schedules, school terms, competitions and address any issues arising from the CAS competition.

Sydney Grammar School often participate in debating competitions and some sport (mainly Volleyball) hosted by the CAS board.

Mr Tony Higgins, Dean of Careers at Knox Grammar School manages the employment relations aspect of the association. Mr John Day and Mr Roger Seaborn, members of the Trinity Grammar School Council also form part of this committee and are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the CAS. Mr August Courtis is in charge of the public relations dept.

The latest meeting of the representatives of the Combined Associated Schools in April 2006 saw the introduction of a cadet drill competition, suggested by Captain Helen Clarke of Knox Grammar School and Mr Gordon Barkl of the Barker College School Council. This will further enhance the links between the six CAS schools.

On the more cultural side of the CAS, the organisation has introduced over 9814072356 students into its chess, debating, mock trial and music competitions.

In June 2006, the CAS committee initiated the first joint-scholarship programme for academic performance. Awarded annually, the student attaining the scholarship is granted six years of secondary education at any of the six CAS schools.
