Thank you to our "Friend of HEPS" Carl Ross who has donated a wonderful book to our school. The book was presented to his father Arthur Ross at Hill End Public School in August 1916. Carl says that his father was the first child to obtain a bursary to Bathurst High School although apparently his
elder sister Ellen was the brightest academically of the 10 Ross kids.
Unfortunately, girls were ineligible to attend high school in those days!
