the association was formed in 1929 to provide sporting and co-curricular competition with the foundation members being the above schools with the exception of all saints', who were not mentioned again. waverley college had its application of june 1929 deferred until it finally joined in the 1940s. this was because the headmaster of trinity grammar school throughout the 1930s came to an impasse with waverley headmaster at the time, br edward nelson, over school fee issues. this issue questioned the integrity of the school and the application was held up until 1941. at this point in time waverley had a new headmaster, br andrew denman.
