Ive got vague recollections of there being a push to relocate either a large portion or perhaps the entire school out to a campus near Liverpool. It was all open fields then - probably high density now.
We'd be going back about 20 years with this though. Perhaps @Joker recalls something along these lines?

Not sure Scots boys would survive in Parramatta. They don't sell french champagne. Would be plenty of room for their helicopters to land though.

Well last week Scot’s won 31% of their games. Last year most weeks was 50/50

He started in 2015?
3 1st XV Premierships is a pretty good result but no 1st, 2nd, 3rd XV titles since 2017 probably has them wanting more right now. Has been a very good period of success for whatever reason people want to bring up since Scots seemed to only win a 1st XV premiership once a decade and nothing for 20 years from the mid 1990s-2010

In my opinion I'd say the rugby program has a lot of great success in the last few years. Under Smith they have won 3 premierships, produced a number of Australian Schoolboys and a few Waratahs. Its always been hard going against a school like Joeys which have so much depth in all there teams. Scots has a large diverse winter sports making the depth of the Rugby teams difficult.

Hello all fellow rugby enjoyers,
Wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the second's competition this week. Expecting a moment week this week in terms of premierships.

Are they any more diverse than Riverview, Newington and Shore? I left Joeys out as they are very Rugby heavy and it shows in results.
Riverview and Newington are always amongst the Soccer premierships as well as Aussie Rules which I believe they play each other in the Schools Grand Final tonight.
If only they didn't turn down the property of Gowan Brae, now known as Kings in the 1930's. 150 hectares of land.

I beg to differ, the Joey's firsts soccer are right now on the top of the table and in strong contention for the premiership.

Wasn't having a go at Joeys with the statement. Was just saying they are traditionally very Rugby dominant in winter and I don't see it changing.
Yes I do.
Scots once bought the Bellevue Hill Bowling Club site. It was about a hectare in size (size of two rugby fields) and was located not too far away from the senior school. The idea was to relocate the Prep to this site from Mansion Rd which was a small area with no field. They put in plans to the council and were rejected due to concerns from the locals regarding noise and increased traffic. Scots then decided to sell this land and they bought 32 hectares of land in Macquarie Fields near Campbelltown. The idea was to construct a feeder school or "Scots Lite" but this never got off the ground and it sat there for decades. Eventually the NSW government bought the land from Scots for public housing which already dominated the location. If you know that part of Sydney it is the opposite to Bellevue Hill.
So what happened to the Bowling Club?
The developer Scots sold it to built luxury townhouses on the land and they made $$$$. Scots should have gone in with the developer and reaped the rewards.
Well they did well to win that many against Joeys so a success I feel.

There is currently an extensive search underway and one 40 acre site has held under option but ruled out last year.

You mean Cranbrook?
Oh, that will get some response. I am not touching this. I can feel the ice cracking underneath me.
