Homebush Grammar School

Homebush Grammar School was an independent, non-denominational, day and boarding school for boys, located in Albert Road Strathfield, New South Wales. It was founded in 1892[1] and ran until 1914 with the school site being sold in 1915 for residential development.[2] The principal and proprietor of the school was W.B. Scott[3] who was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin.[4] Scott had earlier been assistant principal to David Joseph Sly[5] when in 1888 he opened Eton College in Homebush.[6] That school closed in 1892 when Sly voluntarily became a bankrupt.[7]
