SCECGS Redlands - The Sydney Anglican Association

The Sydney Anglican Association

The formal link with the Sydney Anglican diocese was severed in 1976; SCEGGS, Redlands (as it then was), SCEGGS Darlinghurst, SCEGGS, Wollongong and SCEGGS, Loquat Valley survived by re-constituting themselves as wholly independent entities, severing their legal ties with the Anglican diocese while retaining the "Church of England" title in their corporate names. SCEGGS, Moss Vale, was unable to recover, and closed. Loquat Valley became a member of the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation

Peter Cornish, the Headmaster of Redlands in the period 1980 to 2001, cultivated an association with several neighbouring Anglican parishes. Redlands celebrated 125 years of education during 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words sydney, anglican and/or association:

    You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
    O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
