All Saints' College is an independent, co-educational Christian college in the Anglican tradition. Located in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, the college caters for day students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 and boarders from Years 7 to 12.
In 2011, All Saints' College ranked 33rd in Higher School Certificate (HSC) results in NSW. Among NSW private Schools it ranked 17th in the State.
In 1999, All Saints College First XV rugby team went undefeated in both the WAS and ISA Div 2 competitions, which was also the same year WAS schools Kinross Walaroi and St Stanislaus achieved wins against Sydney's GPS schools. All Saints devoted their outstanding season to one their favourite sons who died at the start of the rugby season. The Sydney Morning Herald dedicated their final rugby column of 1999 to the efforts of the All Saints First XV.
In 1873 Canon Thomas Smith of All Saints' Cathedral, Bathurst, with the support of Bishop Samuel Marsden began the process of starting the School. The following year, on 27 January, the Bathurst Church of England College opened its doors to seven students under the headmastership of Henry Kemmis. Renamed All Saints' College, the school officially came into being in mid-1875 when it moved to its permanent site on the corner of Piper and Hope Streets after a successful fund raising campaign and the Bishop's donation of land.
In 1888 Mr Edward Bean, the Senior Classics Master of Sydney Grammar, and father of C.E.W. Bean, succeeded Henry Kemmis. During the eleven years of his headmastership, the College enrolment grew significantly. Bean produced the badge and motto, designed the uniform, commenced the Bathurstian (the school year book), introduced the prefect system, cadets, debating, dancing and carpentry, as well as opening a library and the Prep School.
The third Headmaster was Rev Frederick Tracey. During his tenure representatives of the College attended meetings in 1892 to set up the Athletics Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales; the College didn't proceed to active membership of the GPS and has never taken part in any of its activities. In 1893 the Old Bathurstians' Union was started. With their support, Tracey purchased the school from the Church, thus becoming its proprietor, a position he maintained until 1919 when he sold the land and buildings to the NSW Government.
