OCA Scholarship Luncheon

We are planning a new event on Tuesday 20 June 2023, the OCA Scholarship Luncheon in BCH Foyer, where you can book in for a light luncheon with the current holders of the Helen Hailes Memorial Scholarship, the OCA Scholarship and the Melba Music Scholarship. These are the scholarships funded by the OCA Scholarship Fund which is invested with JBWere. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from the students about the highlights of their PLC education and to join Old Collegians who have been donating to support these scholarships since 1920. Look out for your email invitation to book or contact Julie Schroeder on 9805 7889.

Canberra Drinks

We can take advantage of other opportunities too. In 2022, Scotch College invited us again to join their Canberra drinks at the Commonwealth Club. Katie Head (2009 boarder) now working in Canberra in the Department of Defence, took the lead, encouraging others to attend and proposing the toast to PLC. There was a great sharing of local knowledge and the experiences of working in DFAT, Defence and private law firms.
