Kinross Wolaroi School is an independent Uniting Church co-educational early learning, primary, and secondary day and boarding school, located in Orange, a rural city {{convert|260|km|mi|-1}} west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1886, it is the oldest school in Orange and is situated across two campuses.

The school was originally established in 1886 as Wolaroi Methodist Boys College, also known as Wolaroi College Orange. The modern school however was formed in 1975 with the merger between Wolaroi Methodist Boys College and The Kinross School, which was also known as Presbyterian Ladies' College, Orange (PLC). Kinross Wolaroi is a non-selective school and currently caters for approximately 1,110 students from early learning, through Kindergarten to Year 12, including 350 boarders.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/uploaded/documents/Annual_Reports/Annual_Report_2017.pdf|title=2017 Annual Report}} They do this through the three separate areas of the school that operate. Those being the; Pre-Preparatory School; The Preparatory School; and The Senior School. {{as of|2007}}, classes and boys boarding occur at the former Wolaroi site on Bathurst Road, while girl boarders live at the former PLC site on Coronation Drive.

With the merger of the schools the previous Latin mottos were abandoned and in 2008, the school adopted the new Latin motto of Scientia, Amicitias, Integritas (Knowledge, Friendship, Integrity).{{cite journal |title=A Tribute to Principal Brian J Kennelly |journal=The Chronicle |date=December 2016 |issue=2 |pages=80 |url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/uploaded/documents/FINAL_KWS010_Chronicle_Magazine_Issue_2_FOR_WEB.pdf |access-date=15 October 2018}} The school's five core values are Courage, Respect, Inclusiveness, Resilience and Commitment.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/uploaded/documents/Annual_Reports/Annual_Report_2017.pdf|title=2017 Annual Report}}

History

=Wolaroi Methodist Boys College=

Weymouth House, a small privately owned school for boys, was established in 1886, in the Union Bank building, Orange. The school was established by Mr Thomas Richards, the sole owner and teacher, having come to Orange from All Saints College in Bathurst. The school was a success, and in 1893 the Wolaroi mansion, built by Mr John Charles McLachlan, was purchased, enabling the boys to move to a larger campus. The move led to a change of name for the school, to Wolaroi Grammar School.{{cite web|url=http://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/school/school.asp?pageid=19 |title=School History |access-date=2008-05-26 |work=The School |publisher=Kinross Wolaroi School |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209131505/http://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/school/school.asp?pageid=19 |archive-date= 9 February 2008 |url-status=dead }}

In 1913, Mr Charles Campbell secured the site and became the third headmaster. In 1925 however, Mr Connell who had succeeded Campbell left Orange and the school consequently closed. This provided an opportunity for the Methodist Church to secure the site and the continuation of a boy's college in Western New South Wales.{{Cite web|title=Kinross Wolaroi School {{!}} History|url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/about/history-of-the-school|access-date=2021-06-12|website=www.kws.nsw.edu.au|language=en-US}}

File:WolaroiMansionOrange.png

In 1925, the Methodist Church took control of the school and changed the name of the school again, this time to Wolaroi Methodist Boys College. The college reopened in 1926 under the direction of Mr Stanley Brown who continued to expand the school and increase the diversity of subjects and programs offered at Wolaroi. He is widely credited with having saved the college from financial ruin. As thanks the College Council named the entrance gates to the school 'The Stanley Brown Memorial Gates'.{{Cite web|title=Kinross Wolaroi School {{!}} Brown|url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/school-life/day-student-houses/brown|access-date=2021-06-13|website=www.kws.nsw.edu.au|language=en-US}}

File:1900's Wolaroi Grammer.png

The school continued to flourish in the years following the Second World War until a drought hit the region in the 1970s. In 1973, suffering financial difficulties and with changing societal attitudes, the college decided to become fully co-educational. This culminated with the Methodist Church asking The Kinross School to take over the management of Wolaroi College in 1975.

=Presbyterian Ladies' College / The Kinross School=

There had been substantial Scottish immigration to Orange since its foundation in the 19th century which had led to a sizeable Presbyterian community. Throughout the 1920's the Presbyterian community realised that there was a need for the establishment of a girls' school that could provide a well-rounded education based upon the ideals found within reformed Christianity. In response to this The Presbyterian Ladies' College (PLC) opened in Orange in 1928 on a 43-acre site, named "Campdale". With Miss Eleanor Linck as its first Headmistress.{{Cite web |title=Kinross Wolaroi School {{!}} History |url=https://www.kws.nsw.edu.au/about/history-of-the-school |access-date=2023-02-23 |website=www.kws.nsw.edu.au |language=en-US}} Dorothy Knox took over in 1932 and she led the school until 1936{{Citation |last=Teale |first=Ruth |title=Dorothy Isabel Knox (1902–1983) |url=https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/knox-dorothy-isabel-12751 |work=Australian Dictionary of Biography |access-date=2023-11-23 |place=Canberra |publisher=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University |language=en}} when Ina Miller became headmistress.

File:PLC Before 1973.jpg

For the next 33 years Miller would shape the direction of the College and set very high standards for the student body as well as staff.

In 1973, PLC also became co-educational, and changed its name to The Kinross School. During this time Wolaroi was in financial difficulty and the Methodist Church approached the Presbyterian Church to take over management of Wolaroi. In 1975 The Kinross School took over the management of Wolaroi and became Kinross Wolaroi School.

=Kinross Wolaroi School=

The Kinross School Council accepted the responsibilities of Wolaroi College, and in 1975 the schools amalgamated to become Kinross Wolaroi School. With the creation of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, the School became a part of that Church.

After initial difficulties the school flourished in the region and a new era of development began. The direction came under the leadership of the schools second Headmaster, Mr Alan Anderson.

File:Wolaroi Manor.jpg

After a period of rapid expansion and after having pursued an aggressive marketing strategy in Western NSW to attract more regional boarder's the school entered a period of consolidation. This involved the upgrading and maintenance of the schools existing facilities and infrastructure. This expansion saw students being able to be involved in a variety of programs from drama and music to cadets, sport and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.

By 1988, the school had grown to 728 students and was now the largest co-educational boarding school in New South Wales, with 384 boarders.

File:Wolaroi Mansion.jpg

New Zealand born Reverend David Williams was appointed as the third Headmaster in 2002. He was succeeded by Mr Brian Kennelly in 2007. Under Mr Kennelly's leadership the school continued to expand and flourish, with an extensive building program being undertaken on the Wolaroi site, to upgrade much of the ageing infrastructure such as the auditorium and many classroom facilities

In 2016, the school had its 130-year anniversary and Dr Andrew Parry took over as the fifth Headmaster of Kinross Wolaroi School and the school has continued to expand and flourish.

As of 2023, the School provides co-education and single-sex boarding using its two main campuses. Classes and boys boarding occurs at the Wolaroi Campus on Bathurst Road, while female boarders live at the PLC Campus on Coronation Drive.

A former Preparatory School Principal at Kinross Wolaroi, John Thomas Kennett, was in 1998 convicted on a range of charges for sex offences against 12 boys.{{Cite web|url=http://www.centralwesterndaily.com.au/news/local/news/general/fourth-trial-for-murder-accused/192592.aspx|title=Fourth trial for murder accused|date=22 October 2006}}{{Cite web|url=http://abc.com.au/news/stories/2006/11/08/1783914.htm|title = ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)}}{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2006/11/08/1784038.htm|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717050456/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2006/11/08/1784038.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=17 July 2012|title=Man found not guilty of 1998 jail murder|newspaper=ABC News|date=8 November 2006}}
