[edit] History
The property on which the Bathurst campus now stands was built in the late 1860s and early 1870s. Originally called "Karralee", it was owned by cattle and horse breeder John Lee. Kelso, New South Wales It was bought by William Arnott of Arnotts Biscuits in the 1930s as a home for his daughter.
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.
The Scots School Pipes and Drums were formed in the 1950s.
In 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 1998.[3]
