Scotch College is an independent, Uniting Church, co-educational, day and boarding school, located on two adjacent campuses in Torrens Park and Mitcham, inner-southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Founded in 1919, and incorporated under an Act of Parliament in 1922, Scotch currently caters for approximately 850 students from early learning to year 12, including more than 100 boarders in Years 7 to 12. Scotch College is affiliated with the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia (AISSA),〔 〕 the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Independent Schools Sport Association (ISSA) and the Independent Girls' Schools Sport Association (IGSSA). On 4 September 2014, it was announced that Dr. John Newton, headmaster of Taunton School in the UK, would become the new Principal, succeeding Tim Oughton.〔(Introducing Our Next Principal )〕 ==History== An enduring 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. During World War II, the property was used by the U.S. Army and then the RAAF, and the school was forced to move to Birralee, Belair and Brierly Lodge from May 1942 to February 1944. "Gratton House", now the Middle School, was built as a memorial to 57 Old Collegians who were killed in World War II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scotch College, Adelaide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
