The Rossendale Collegiate School opened at Womerah Avenue, Darlinghurst, an inner suburb of Sydney, on 1 April 1886, under Head Master, Alfred M.Wright (Corpus Christi College, Cambridge). On Tuesday 16 December 1890 the fifth annual distribution of prizes was held in the presence of a large assemblage of the parents and friends of the pupils. Mr Wright, the head master, presented his annual report and prizes were distributed. The silver medal, presented by Mr Sanford, was gained by O.Phillips. Other prizes were then presented and at the close of the ceremony, the students presented Mr Wright with a beautifully illuminated address accompanied by a most handsomely fitted dressing-case and a silver teapot and sugar basin, as an appreciation of the kindness of Mr and Mrs Wright towards them.
