Reporter 2019

SCOTC H CO LLEG E 2019

PRODUCTION REPORT Dear Reader, The Scotch College Reporter aims to commemorate, celebrate and recognise the achievements and efforts of the Scotch College community throughout the past year. It provides boys, parents and the wider community insight into the hard work driven by the cohort of impressive young men who never fail to live up to the admirable calibre of boys of old. In looking back over the past year, it is also important to reflect upon the College’s development since its founding in 1897.

2019 was a significant year for the future development for the College standing on the hill. In particular, this year marked the major step forward for the future development of the College with the commencement of the extensive task of redeveloping the top oval into the new main block and adding further to our array of 21st century classrooms.

The redevelopment of the Chapel was no small feat either, the reopening of which attracted the attendance of a vast amount of Old Scotch Collegians.

This year’s Reporter Committee took the opportunity to carry over some of the design aspects from Scotch’s recent building projects, hence the stained glass

concept on the cover. At the core of the design is the aim to introduce a modern and vibrant design element to a place of rich tradition and history, taking the classic art-deco red brick and limestone into modernity.

The Chapel saw new light and life stemming from the installation of extensive stained glass windows donated from the old Uniting Church parish in Swanbourne. The glow of sunlight through the new glass fills the Chapel with a newfound sense of warmth and community imagined by the designers in its inception in 1968. This same principle of light and hue has been replicated through the incorporation of the ten house colours in pastel shades throughout Reporter in 2019, alluding to the major development works which are taking place around the school in a step towards modernisation.

HEADMASTER’S REPORT As we finish yet another decade in our history, a vastly changing educational landscape is the understanding of the word ‘Independence’ and what it means to a college community such as ours.

of giving State schools greater autonomy over staffing and allocation of resources.

The uptake has been a huge success; in 2010 there were just 34 independent public schools, compared to what I believe to be 524 this year, attended by more than 83 per cent of all public students.

Dr Alec O’Connell Headmaster

Truly Independent – A Decade of a Changed Paradigm As the years pass by quickly, there is a real danger in assuming that everything remains the same, especially in education.

Given the changing world of education, the different priorities of a new generation of parents and facing some of the most challenging times economically, those of us involved in truly independent education must continue to work to ensure that our value proposition not only continues to be obvious, but is further enhanced.

The role of any government, State or Federal, is to walk the tight rope between supporting the State provided education while still appearing to offer autonomy of educational choice for their voters. Over the last decade, the education scene in WA has witnessed the reimaging and in many cases the revitalisation of public schools via a very clever political strategy known as ‘Independent Public Schools’.

The use of the word ‘independent’ has created confusion and a blurring between genuinely Independent Schools and those now referred to as “independent” in the public sector.

Independent public schools were introduced by the Barnett government in 2010 as a way 4 | Reports

An independent public school is a State/ public school that, while a part of the State education system, has been granted a higher degree of decision-making authority than a regular, non-independent State school. However, what an IPS is not, is truly Independent. The reality is that independent public schools have limited autonomy. Such public schools do not have the power to fully self-determine their operations. They are obliged to meet teacher awards (the Department of Education State Agreement) and workplace entitlements and are subject to a range of department policies and accountability requirements. These public schools have no separate legal status.

Never has this been more obvious than successive governments attempting to cut into the domain of Independent schooling through merit select schools, gateway scholarship programmes, and, in general, some clever muddying of the term Independent. Don’t be mistaken, through stealth, the word ‘Independent’ has been hijacked in WA. In the mind of many in the community, the term Independent Public Schools means the same as Independent Schools.

On the other hand, the Association of Independent Schools Australia (AISWA) illustrates some of the distinctive features of genuinely Independent Schools: • Each Independent School has legal status in its own right. Each school is separately constituted under its own constitution.

• Independent Schools are owned and operated by a separately constituted association or organisation and as such, determine the strategic directions of the school whilst meeting all legislative requirements. Some Independent Schools are part of a small system within the sector and these have an independent governing body that makes determinations for the schools in that small system.

• Independent Schools are separately registered by the Minister of Education and must have a constitution that outlines the structure roles and responsibilities of the governing body.

• The governing body of an Independent School is responsible for the strategic planning for the school, the selection and support of the principal and the financial viability of the school.

• In an Independent School it is the school’s governing body that is ultimately responsible for the welfare of students and the school and ensuring the school meets the standards required by the Education Act. • Independent Schools develop their own behavioural management and discipline policies that suit the needs and culture of their school and the community they serve.

• Many Independent Schools have their own Enterprise Agreements (EAs) and others work under the conditions of the State Independent School Teachers’ Award (1976) or the Federal Educational Services (Teachers) Award (2010).

• Independent Schools develop their own culture, ethos and values system that is reflective of each Independent School’s belief structure.

Scotch College has been Independent since 1897 and will remain proudly independent as we continue to forge many new paths into the future.

What Makes Scotch Special Independence. Scotch is representative of the word Independence in the truest sense of the word. We are governed by our Council, not a public school board. We are primarily supported by tuition payments from families, other contributions, and endowment revenue.

Mission-driven education. We are driven by our own unique Uniting Church philosophy, values, and our unique approach to teaching.

High academic standards. Without using merit select policies, we continue to nurture intellectual curiosity, stimulate personal growth, encourage critical thinking, and promote a lifelong love of learning.

Class sizes allowing for individual attention. Positive student-teacher ratios encourage close connections between instructors and students and better support and extension opportunities.

Excellent teachers. Our schoolteachers are appointed through rigorous competition and teach in their areas of expertise. They strive to develop a full understanding of each student’s learning style, interests, and motivation.

Education for the whole child. In addition to academics, we nurture our students’ personal and social growth and civic conscience. Outside the classroom, students participate in a myriad of cocurricular and leadership experiences.

Inclusiveness. Our school fosters diverse and vibrant student communities that welcome and respect every family.

A community of parents. Parents actively participate in their children’s education.

6 | Reports

Scotch openly promotes regular communication among students, parents, and teachers to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals.

Development for today’s and tomorrow’s world We go well beyond offering the mandatory subjects required by curriculum; we offer students a wide range of specialisations and are responsible for producing many leaders in politics, business and society, with a history of adapting quickly to changes in technology and culture. Scotch is also sought out by parents of children with special needs such learning, developmental, or physical disabilities.

We are extremely proud of catering for all students.

Scotch in Focus As a truly Independent school we strive to make a difference both immediately and over the lifetime of our graduates through offering: • A strong focus on values, ethics and spirituality • Differentiated experiences through high quality dedicated teachers, high standards of behaviour expectations, flexible learning programmes catering for support, extension and acceleration and simple more non-academic opportunities • Better connection for parents and the chance for them to actually contribute and impact their school’s policies and priorities • Without a doubt, the most telling thing we can offer is a lifetime of

support, networking and professional collegiality. In other words, relationships that last a lifetime.

The next time you hear the word Independent being used in a sentence to refer to schooling, maybe you will stop and reflect on whether it is the correct usage of the word or simply clever vernacular alignment.

As we move forward into the next decade, we must continue to ensure that Scotch remains as a place of: Learning – we must remain relevant, challenging, enterprise-based, individualised and creative whilst appreciating the foundations from the past. We need a balance between knowledge and wisdom Socialisation – focussing on a community minded organisation which allows our students to communicate, influence and articulate their values and beliefs Service – where we learn the value of giving back to others and playing our part as stewards in the world in which we live Sustainability for the future – as a cornerstone of society where other organisations come and go, Scotch must remain within the context of our era Worship – we must remain as a moral compass to frame the decision making and behaviour of our students and community.

Scotch College’s success, thus far, results from being Independent since 1897 and we will remain proudly independent as we continue to forge many new paths into the future.

CHAPLAIN The rededication of the PC Anderson Memorial Chapel on 15 February doubled as a celebration of 31 years of ministry of Reverend Chas Lewis and a commissioning service for Revd Justine Wall and me.

Revd Gary van Heerden Chaplain

The service brings to mind strains of the Byrds rendition of Ecclesiastes chapter 3, the end and the beginning celebrated: ‘To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven’.

Final assemblies, valedictory services, speech nights, farewelling staff and students and then welcoming the new reminds us of beginnings and endings and that indeed, in the words of Ecclesiastes, ‘There is a time to every purpose under heaven…a time to sow and a time to reap…a time to be born and a time to die…’.

Life is all about endings and beginnings.

Just as surely as we bid farewell to the Year 12s, we prepare to welcome the new boys who begin on their journey. We say farewell to those who have died, and we celebrate the births of those who will begin their life’s journey. And there is a time for everything under heaven.

Change is part of life, yet at some level we resist it. Change threatens the perceived predictability and stability of our lives, the notion that we can control things. And yet as we look back on our lives, many would acknowledge that life has not panned out as we expected. Accepting the reality that things probably won’t always be the same, that fluctuating periods of light and darkness, certainty and doubt, are part of the journey and may increase our receptiveness and openness to the possibilities that change brings.

And always the Divine comes to meet with us in the unexpected, in the midst of the ordinary, beckoning us beyond. In all the change, may we have a sense of God’s

presence, knowing that all our concerns are dear to God. ‘So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?’

Ecclesiastes 3:22

COUNCIL ‘Whilst as a College we recognise and celebrate achievements, I would like to think that there is eagerness in all involved in the Scotch community. An underlining desire to strive to be better at everything we do.’

Mr Mark Paganin Chair of Council

The Council and the Executive met at the end of the year for the first of a series of strategy sessions primarily to identify where we have been, where we are at and where do we want to go?

Whilst it is important to have a time period as a framework for strategies typically over say, a five year period, as we all know, the world is moving a lot faster than that so, as a Council, we have decided to have more regular strategy sessions to allow us to adapt to the changing educational environment.

It was most pleasing that the session involved the Executive and representatives of the OSC and the Foundation as well as input from the teaching staff. There are some key fundamental values and tenets of Scotch College which has served us so well since establishment in 1897 and will continue to do so. We focused on areas to enhance our goal of striving for best practice in education and drew from the global relationships the College has with other educational institutions.

There are some exciting opportunities for the College to pursue and, of course, challenges to address.

I look forward to keeping the Scotch community updated on the outcomes of the strategy sessions.

Speaking of challenges, our role on Council is to balance what we consider to be priorities for the boys in providing relevant educational offerings, adequate facilities and maintaining the high quality of the teaching staff and their professional development. We seek to make those decisions in a financially responsible manner. For instance, the new Teaching and Learning Building, which will host mathematics and business, will open in 2020. This facility will be a state of the art hub for the teaching staff and students.

However, we are mindful that educating the boys is not all about facilities. The Council originally postponed commencing this building because we determined, at the time, that our priority was allocating the finite resources of the College towards other priorities; again minimising the annual increase in school fees to recognise the continued subdued Western Australian economy which has impacted our Scotch families. It is fair to say that, for the fourth academic year, the increase in school fees is in the lowest decile of comparable independent boys and girls schools in Perth.

At Scotch, the teaching staff continue to prepare the boys for life after school and ultimately as members of the communities in which they choose to live. To that end, we have noticed a continuing shift in the priority of employers in what they are looking for from applicants. Although academic excellence will always remain important, there appears to be an increasing recognition by employers in making their decisions on employability towards attributes such as collaborating in teams, creative thinking and problem solving, the ability to continue to learn during employment and service to the community including co-curricular

activities. We believe these attributes are directly aligned to what Scotch continues to develop in the boys.

I would like to thank my fellow Council members for the invaluable contributions each makes to the College during and outside our regular meetings throughout the year and their engagement, commitment and pride in the College.

After seven significant years of service, on behalf of the Council, I thank Phil Idle who retires from Council. Phil, amongst other things, led the Master Plan Committee with distinction. I would also like to welcome new Council member, Roy Kelley who, at the end of this year, retired after eleven years as Headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School. Prior to that, Roy spent the previous few decades leading schools in the UK and NZ. We believe Roy will add another dimension to the broad skill set and expertise of the Council.

The College is very much a sum of parts and the continued significant contributions of the OSC, the Foundation and the teaching and administrative staff under the leadership of our Headmaster, Dr Alec O’Connell, is what makes Scotch what it is today. Thank you to each of them.

To all the members of the Scotch community, we very much appreciate your involvement in the College which contributes to our reason for being, the boys. All the very best for a restful break over the summer and we look forward to seeing you back on deck, refreshed and ready for 2020.

FOUNDATION 2019 has been a productive year for Foundation.

Support from the Brinsden Bequest to help staff development and the Ackland Bequest to fund staff leadership training have continued at $60,000 and $40,000 respectively this year.

Mr John Flecker Chair of Foundation

We are delighted to have awarded the first Foundation Scholarships, with two Academic and three Boarding Scholarships awarded for 2020.

Foundation Scholarships will continue to be awarded up to the equivalent of two full-time bursaries per annum, each for up to six years. On top of this, through the extraordinary generosity of the Malka Foundation, another new means-tested Scholarship was awarded for academic and leadership excellence for a student entering Year 7, 2020 through his next six years.

Foundation also funded the role of Head of Philanthropy for the first time. Andree McIntyre ably took up this role and coordinated the fundraising campaign for long overdue extensions to the boat shed.

The shed was last expanded in 1976 to accommodate 60 rowers, whereas there are currently 170 rowers using the facility. $723,000 has been raised to date and works are expected to commence after receipt of relevant authority approvals in 2020.

On the funds’ management side, Foundation has continued the prudent investment of existing funds along with new income from Endowment fees. Net assets sit at approx. $28.6m. Thanks indeed to the Investment Committee of Mr Richard Alder, Mr Paul Carter, Mr Aaron Hood, Mr Simon Jackson,

Mr Murray McGill and Mr Ross Taylor and Shadforth who continue to provide sage advice.

We continue to balance the long term growth of funds for future resilience, along with short term support to the College as dictated by current economic circumstances and needs. As such, this year we granted the College a principal repayment holiday on $5.5m outstanding loan for the Middle School. Funds have also been set aside for the redevelopment of the deteriorating Stirling Road properties.

Finally, welcome back to Aaron Hood who returns to the Board following a stint working in Melbourne and a thank you to all Board members, Mr Paul Carter, Ms Genevieve Cleary, Mr Simon Jackson, Mr Murray McGill, Mr Michael Silbert, Mr Ross Taylor, Mr Tim Wiese, plus Paul Davidson and Bernadette Boisen for their wonderful support of Foundation.

TEACHING AND LEARNING In the words of our student leadership team, ‘embrace the challenge, together’, we have continued to value working as a united community, where both staff and parents connect over a common goal of providing the very best opportunities for our students.

Cara Fugill Director of Teaching and Learning

In return, these young men continue on a path to become respected members of the broader community with values, skills and knowledge that will likely enrich the lives of others.

The cycle of Scotch College is a proud tradition, where the journey starts with our Pre-Kindergarten and finishes with our leaving cohort of Year 12 students.

Leading the way is quality teaching and learning, not only because we understand how young boys learn best, but because we equally value the holistic development of the child. It is this consideration that allows our boys to flourish in the classroom and best prepare for a future that will increasingly seek out people of strong character to advance society.

Striving for continual improvement is a noticeable trait amongst our Scotch community. Our teaching staff have demonstrated expertise in targeting individual feedback to improve the learning of each boy, differentiate their lessons to be inclusive of everyone and provided engaging classes that develop the skill set required so our boys will be adaptable to fast-pace of change. Our students have committed to enhancing their self-management skills, acquiring knowledge, responding productively to feedback and developing a positive 10 | Reports

Our parents have devoted their time to staying informed, supporting the school ethos, providing guidance and perspective for their son and showing gratitude towards our staff. It is the combination of these factors that promote a learning environment where students can perform at their very best.

top 1.3% of DP results globally. UWA requires 40+ points for a direct pathway into Doctor of Medicine and I am pleased to report the following students achieved this benchmark: Jack Banfield, Sebastian Barrett, Liam Blok, Thomas Hodge, James Jenour, Joshua Nicholson, Lewis Orr, Kobey Rafferty, Jack Taylor, and Alexander van Hoek.

However, like each year it is always a pleasure to share the success of our Leavers. Although the stress of the examinations and the release of results is becoming a distant memory as they look forward to the offers or opportunities that 2020 will bring, it is a salient reminder of the collective effort of our entire community and an opportunity to wish them well.

Of the 30 Scotch College students that sat for their Diploma exams, 23% of them achieved an A grade in Theory of Knowledge, compared to the global statistic of 5.2%. 28 out of the 33 subjects studied produced grade averages above the global average and 18 of the 30 students received a subject merit award in at least one subject by earning a Grade 7, the highest grade possible.

Ten students out of thirty received a score of above 40, equating in all cases to an ATAR of over 99 when the bonuses in Mathematics and Language are included. The median Diploma score was an impressive 37 points, compared to the global average of 29.6, and is a remarkable achievement that equates to a median ATAR of 97.80.

Scotch College had 89 percent of their WACE Year 12 students sitting four or more ATAR examinations with 86 percent gaining direct entry into at least one University. In addition, we had another 9 percent of the cohort taking their Certificate IV in Business and English ATAR, earning themselves the requirement needed to gain direct entry to Edith Cowan and Curtin University.

In 2019, Scotch College students earned a median ATAR of 86.35. When these results are combined with the IBDP cohort results, the median increases to 90.0 placing them as the 6th highest school median in the State.

Lucas Triglavcanin, William Chalmers, Harry Pasich, Joshua O’Dea and Liam Newport were our highest performing WACE students and achieved an ATAR

99+, placing them in the top 1% of students who were eligible to sit ATAR examinations in Western Australia. Harry Pasich was awarded the Subject Prize in Literature and a General Exhibition, while Lucas Triglavcanin earned a Certificate of Excellence in both English and Chemistry, Kristian Stonier in Geography, Harry Pasich in Literature and Caleb Evans in Mathematics Applications. This is a large number of recipients from one school and suggests why we were just one of 16 schools to receive more than 10 ATAR courses with the highest performing students. The following is a list of these courses; • • • • • • • • • • • •

Pathway Achievements 2019

A Partnership with Curtin

In 2019 we had 17 students enrolled in the Alternative Academic Pathway. 10 of these students undertook the Certificate IV, the highest certificate qualification that can be awarded through a schoolbased programme, and all 17 students met the graduation requirement to complete a Certificate II or higher. Many of these students combined their general courses with ATAR and have qualified for University, TAFE or have been awarded competitive apprenticeships.

Curtin University for the first time in 2019 offered the opportunity for selected Year 10 students to complete a first year university unit. This course was completed in addition to regular school study and we are proud to share the following students were successful in passing the following units:

In 2020 the Teaching and Learning Team, comprising Warwick Norman (JS), Sophie Berry (MS) and a welcomed addition, former Head of Mathematics, Shirin Reyhani (SS) are looking forward to leading the academic team to new horizons as we broaden our understanding of assessment in a modern era. Technology is quickly reshaping the way we work, interact and manage our lives and therefore must be a key consideration in how we educate the future generations. At Scotch we are lucky to have significant resources that make this change less challenging as our staff are afforded excellent professional development and our students have extensive support.

The nature of assessments often informs our teaching practice and as we broaden our student’s skill set, it is necessary to shift the traditional scope of assessment to test a wider range of talents.

This change has been largely influenced by the successful implementation of our skills curriculum, the Approaches to Learning, and our staff are very proud to be leading this frontier in education. Similarly, the library and information learning technologies continue to support this progressive initiative and through the iPad implementation in Year 6, and the Teaching and Learning website where we can advance our progress and track improvement with a greater rigour. We are also delighted to be moving into the Mathematics and Commerce building during Summer Term where the carefully designed flexible learning spaces will no doubt inspire both students and staff and offer opportunities for progressive teaching practice and curriculum redesign.

WELLBEING There is never enough time for all that we wish to do.

We rarely pause, so busy are we trying to squeeze as much as possible into each day.

Mr James Hindle Director of Student & Staff Wellbeing

And yet it increasingly seems to be the case that, if we want to do more – or do things better – we should slow down, pause and reflect on what we are doing and how we are doing it and why we are doing it, in order to get more out of life.

The end of the year offers a chance to pause and reflect and to celebrate what we have accomplished, as well as to plan for what needs still to be done.

Strategic Plan

Mindfulness and Yoga

This year, we have continued to expand understanding of the Strategic Plan for Wellbeing. Our focus has been on the three pillars: Respect, Resilience and Relationships. These formed the basis of the Wellbeing session on the Year 9 Rottnest camp and we incorporated wellbeing elements into the Year 5 camp at Moray. We have also continued work towards a common language with the use of the Approaches to Learning for student reflection on different activities.

‘Brain Reset’ sessions continued to run in the lead-up to both sets of Year 11 and 12 examinations. We also ran these mindfulness sessions in Spring Term, based on the concept that these are skills students should practise when they are under less stress, so that they can apply them effectively when they are under greater stress. For the first time, we ran massed mindfulness sessions with the entire Year 9 cohort in the PE centre. We have incorporated more Mindfulness sessions into the Year 9 and 10 Wellbeing programmes (in House groups) as well as in Middle School. Both Year 7s and 8s have experienced these sessions at different times of the year. This year, we ran a yoga programme for our Year 1-3 classes, and we will be expanding this in 2020.

Landmark Weeks We are slowly putting together a calendar of important events which we celebrate each year and we continue to engage in more activities during each of these.

Harmony Week was celebrated towards the end of Summer Term in both Middle and Senior School. Men’s Health Week ran in Winter Term and our Year 11s took responsibility for this as part of the Leadership programme. This year the theme was ‘Have a chat’, with the boys focusing their attention on how to have those more challenging, deeper conversations connected to emotions and how we are feeling. This ties in with our celebration of RUOK? Week, which took place in Autumn Term. From the enthusiasm of our Year 12s, we had our biggest-ever Year 12 choir singing a reworked version of Pink’s ‘Walk Me Home’.

This culture of singing continues to grow in Senior School, and the House Singing competition was another boost to the sense of connectedness and wellbeing within the older years.

We aim to continue to increase boys’ exposure to the skills of mindfulness and meditation from a young age so that by the time they begin to experience increasing pressure, they have an understanding of the benefits which can flow from taking time out of their busy, crowded schedules to relax their bodies and refocus their minds. Our aim is also to teach students these skills explicitly, but also be encouraged to use them in all classes and all situations where they may be under pressure, whether performing on stage or a sports field, or in the dayto-day challenges of relationships.

Cross-School Links

Within the Sub-Schools

Gratitude

This year has seen a consolidation of our efforts in this area. The Year 2-12 gatherings remain a highlight for our young boys and our young men – it is sometimes hard to know who is enjoying these gatherings more. The Year 2s look up to the older boys literally and metaphorically, and they have the knowledge that in ten years time, they will be the big boys and a new crop of Year 2s will be trying to run them off their feet. For the Year 12s, it is a chance to take a break from the demands of their hectic lives. It gives them an excuse to forget momentarily, to remember what fun is to be had in each moment, and to laugh with the little people rushing around their feet. Our Year 5 and 12 Leaders gatherings have also grown, with the boys talking and sharing their experiences on a regular basis, as well as performing community service activities such as making lunches for children at other schools.

Within each of our sub-schools, progress in relation to Wellbeing is at slightly different points. In Junior School, staff have made use of dedicated time slots in the day (at the start of the day, after recess and lunch, and before the day ends) to practise mindfulness with their classes. In Middle and Senior Schools, we continue to talk with boys about cyber-safety and the importance of being responsible digital citizens, although more work remains to be done. In Senior School, we have continued to develop the Year 9 and 10 Wellbeing curriculum.

In Boarding, we ran the Tomorrow Man programme for our Year 10s. This was the second year we used this group to look at different versions of masculinity and to examine what strong and healthy men are like, and the impact on this year’s group has been significant. For staff, we have continued to expand the opportunities for training and professional development. This year, for the first time, we ran one of our PD days using the knowledge and skills gathered by staff by attending various conferences, seminars and courses. 19 staff presented and staff chose which sessions to attend. This was a highlight of the year.

Another aspect of wellbeing which we continue to emphasise is developing a sense of gratitude. At the end of term and the end of the academic and calendar years, boys are encouraged to write a note of thanks to someone who has made a positive difference in their lives. There are strong links between expressing gratitude and improved wellbeing, and we will continue to build on this. On a personal note, I would like to publicly thank those in each of the sub-schools who have given up their own time to help guide what we do. To Penny Hooper, Jon Marginis and Justine Wall, Fi Alexander, Phebe Samson and Bec Turkich (Junior School); Pina Giglia and Karen Woods (Middle School); and Kate WebsterBlythe, Mark Gale, Gareth Williams, Justin Creighton, Marcus Wilkinson and David Jones (Senior School) – to all of you, I thank you for your commitment and passion in this field. It is nice to be able to pause and appreciate the work done by these people and so many others, including many of our students.

SERVICE AND CITIZENSHIP In the past year, the title of my portfolio changed from Service and Community to Service and Citizenship, a far better reflection of the role at the College.

Mr David Kyle Director of Service and Citizenship

We always aim to support the community but a slight shift in my title towards a focus on civic engagement reflects the importance of developing students who are globally aware, tied to civil society, and focused on a sustainable world and their responsibilities; in essence, preparing boys to be citizens who participate and contribute.

We aim to provide opportunities for our students to build a sense of empathy and duty towards the community. To do this, we engage with experts and partners where possible and will continue to foster local through to global relationships, acknowledge and celebrate diversity and be a community of positive change building the world that ought to be!

A particular highlight of 2019 was hosting the Rotary District 9455 Conference.

Planning had begun in 2017 and it culminated in a well-attended conference in April 2019. The Rotary Club of Matilda Bay was the host and has many links with the College, so we were pleased to support them, knowing that Rotary’s motto of Service Above Self aligns closely with our core values. Highlights included Stuart Heal, a former Chairman of New Zealand Cricket, who represented the International President and spoke about the modernisation of Rotary; 14 | Reports

former Chair of College Council, Richard Goyder AO, spoke about his Rotary ‘gift’ when reflecting on his 1978 exchange experience to upstate New York; and Dr Ian Wadley who spoke of his work at the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue in Geneva. A big thanks to everyone in the community who supported the conference, including the Pipe Band, Drum Line, Jazz Ensemble and Big Band whom all played and to the Student Council which had a strong presence too.

Another major project this year has been having Kamsani Bin Salleh (OSC ’10) onsite to complete a piece of work titled Boodja Kaartdijin (Country Knowledge).

The work is made of six pieces, each representing a Noongar season. Kam completed the six seasons throughout the year, and these are now displayed in the Chapel.

As a part of our ever-increasing partnership with The Salvation Army, 2019 saw the Junior School introduce Birthday Bags to encourage ‘spring cleans’ when it is boys’ birthdays and donating clothing to the Salvo stores. Students received a birthday card and donation bag from their classroom teacher and were encouraged to fill it with clean and reusable clothing and linen and bring it in on their birthday. Their classmates then helped them celebrate their birthday plus their efforts in contributing to the Salvo stores and those in need. It also helped towards a sustainability goal of promoting recycling and fixing rather than disposing.

Everyone has been winning!

In 2018 and 2019 we managed to solidify a relationship with East Kimberley Clontarf Academy and Wyndham District High School and 2-Way Learning, an organisation headed by Mr Craig Davies,

a former staff member of the College.

These trips were a great success and most pleasingly, in June, East Kimberley Clontarf Academy stayed at the Boarding House as they competed in a Country Week competition.

Below is an excerpt from an article written about the boys’ time in the East Kimberley.

The tour was made up of two parts, one where we were hosted by the East Kimberley Clontarf Academy in Kununurra and the second half being hosted by Wyndham District High School. The boys were fortunate to be shown around the area by young men with a real connection to the land and the local Aboriginal population. Much of our time with the Clontarf boys were spent fishing, exploring and listening to the local people’s culture and connection to the country. The boys engaged in discussions around the Dreaming, the relationship to Country and Kinship system, including totems, skin names and lore. A highlight of the time spent at Wyndham was the day spent at the pastoral industry training grounds. The Scotch boys learnt about the trust required when working with horses and saw the skill of the Wyndham lads riding bareback and without bits on their bridles! The boys also showed us some of the local sites in the Wyndham area, including some big resident saltwater crocodiles at Marlgu Billabong and local rock art. Again, discussions around local customs of men and women business, sorry business and the impact of the Stolen Generation allowed for some fascinating insights for our boys and truly experiential learning.

We were incredibly privileged to spend this time in the East Kimberley region. The boys got an insight into the challenges faced by people living in remote areas and a first-hand account into the lives of our first peoples. Nothing was sugar coated and some of the experiences and stories made for difficult conversations.

Alongside these realities, the boys also saw young men successfully balancing their connections to their Aboriginal culture alongside going to school, playing football and preparing for a successful future. From this immersive experience, our boys can challenge stereotypes and myths and form their own opinions from first-hand accounts of Aboriginal culture.

On Tuesday 30 July, in the First teams’ fixture versus Wesley, the College commemorated Mo Maslin. The day was the result of a lot of hard work from Mo’s cohort and a truly student-driven initiative. The funds raised from the day were put towards the Maslin Foundation which focuses on assisting children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties through early childhood intervention. It was well supported by the College and a number of the Maslin family were able to attend. This commemorative occasion is an example of what the student body is capable of and an appropriate memory of Mo and the Maslin family.

In June, the Middle School hosted the Principal of Nauru College, Ms Sharina Deiye, on an Asian Education Foundation ‘Building Relationships through Intercultural Dialogue and Growing Engagement’ (BRIDGE) programme.

Ms Deiye was partnered with Year 6 teacher, Mr Justin Shaw, and they briefly collaborated on some teaching programmes. In October, Mr Shaw

attended a workshop in Brisbane, run through the University of Melbourne’s Asia Education Foundation, and spent a week at Nauru College. This BRIDGE partnership complements our partnership with the school in Jakarta, Indonesia who will visit again in April 2020.

Finally, 2019 has been another successful year for The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award at the College. As a result of the College’s support and successes in delivering the Award in recent years, we were able to have an Awardee receive his Award at the organisation’s 60th Anniversary celebrations at Government House in August. Aydin Hutchison was one of six awardees that evening, and the College was also presented with a certificate of recognition. In celebration of their 60th anniversary of delivering in Australia the organisation had banners flying on St George’s Terrace during August and it was pleasing that Scotch College featured in such a prominent location.

Round Square In 2019, the staff began to receive some benefits from our Round Square membership. Mr Scott Siekerka was the recipient of the 2019 College Council Bursary and travelled to Appleby College in Canada where he was immersed in the boarding house. Scott incorporated further travel on to his bursary from the College and also spent time at the Round Square head office in London and Felsted School, whom we exchange with, in Essex. We also hosted a visiting teacher, Mr Simon Walker, a teacher and housemaster at Fountain Valley School in Colorado, who visited the College for two weeks in June. Simon immersed himself

in the College, coaching rugby, taking classes and taking part in various duties around the Boarding House. Mr Marcus Wilkinson commented on how Simon’s presence brought a strong international flavour to the Residential Community and that his staff benefited from hearing how the FVS boarding house operated. Simon also learnt a great deal while at Scotch and it has cemented the two schools’ relationship.

The College attended two conferences in 2019, one for Year 8 students at the British School in Jakarta and one for senior students to attend the Global conference, held at the Emerald Heights International school in Indore, India. In both instances, the students and staff who attended had wonderful experiences that impacted them significantly. Feedback always included a focus on the diverse friends they made, the different perspectives and opinions they listened to, and the fact that a week-long experience can have such an impact on them.

The exchange programme has continued to thrive and the words of Oliver Barrett (Year 10, Brisbane) summarise some of the aims of the programme. “Our world is so big, and we have students coming from all over it. They all have a different upbringing to us, and they bring that new perspective to us, the new outlooks on life, and the different cultural nuances that accompany their countries of origin.

The exchange programme doesn’t only broaden and deepen the minds of the students who go on them. It enhances everyone’s culture and school experience.”

Oliver said.

SCHOOL CAPTAIN Experience is an interesting thought. It shapes people into who they want to be. It opens doors and provides a much deeper insight into whatever it is someone is striving for.

Harry Gilchrist Captain of School

It is the experience I gained while having the incredible honour to serve as School Captain for Scotch in 2019 that I will hold closest to me.

Eager to kick things off, the new 2019 leadership group effectively decided on a theme for the coming year: Embrace the Challenge, Together. This culminated from the belief that we all face our different obstacles throughout our schooling journey.

If we continue to help each other, and embrace our respective differences, then the rest of the year would prove to be one of immense enjoyment and reward.

Scotch once again proved its endeavour to assist in the raising of funds for, and donations to good causes with the annual World’s Greatest Shave event for all the Year 12 Boys, in collaboration with PLC. $70,000 is no small milestone and is an absolutely incredible effort by all those involved, especially if it makes someone else’s hardship that little bit easier.

On the sporting fields, we were close but unable to claim victory for any of the respective trophies, except that of the Blackwood Cup for the Basketball 16 | Reports

team. To go back-to-back, let alone being undefeated is a monumental achievement, and something all coaches and players involved should be very proud of. Despite the lack of silverware, the far more important reward was the new and growing bonds between students, and not just those within Scotch, but the respect developed between all PSA schools.

2019 also saw the introduction of the Mo Maslin Tribute Sport Round, in which teams wore purple playing socks in loving memory of the late Mo Maslin, a 2019 Leaver and more importantly, a friend to many. This is just a small way in which we as a year group sought to reminisce on the short life, but everlasting spirit of Mo. Yet again, the Scotch Arts community proved to be a driving force within the school, with numerous performances throughout the year demonstrating the raw talent and dedication of both students and staff in this area. The productions of Worry Warts, The Government Inspector and Teechers, along with the numerous Jazz Nights and vocal performances were a true credit to the whole Arts Department and to all the boys who branched out and simply gave these things a go.

Going into your final year of school can be a daunting experience. It certainly has

its ups and downs, and no two students take on identical journeys. And while it is important, all I wanted to make clear to the boys was to try to enjoy the experience as much as possible, and to always remember that their mates are there for them and are looking out for them. As alluded to in the Mo Maslin Tribute Round, life can take turns for the worst at the most unexpected moments, so we may as well have some fun, and support each other along the way.

On behalf of the Year 12 2019 cohort, we can’t thank the staff of Scotch College enough for everything they have done for us over the past years, whether it be two years or 12. The guidance and support from all has been invaluable. To our parents, it’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for all the dedication and trust they’ve put into us over this crazy journey. Whilst their decision to afford us the amazing opportunity to attend Scotch College is to be applauded, and it shows their unconditional love for us, the only thing it guarantees for us is a ticket to the game. The game of life. Our challenge, the question we need to ask ourselves, is do we want to be a spectator in that game, or a player? That’s the opportunity right there.

Year 12 Cohort

VICE-CAPTAIN OF OPERATIONS The main goal of the Staff Trophy is to unite boys from within each House and across all year groups, as they compete in a range of events that build a sense of spirit and comradeship.

Blake Costello Vice Captain of School (Operations)

The Staff Trophy has been a cornerstone of the Scotch College calendar for years, as boys compete in a range of events that cover all fields of academic and co‑curricular life.

From the three major sports events of Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country to ‘It’s Academic,’ Debating and Chess, the events on the Staff Trophy calendar provide opportunities to participate for boys, no matter what their interests may be. Events on the calendar are weighted, and all 20 events contribute to the final Staff Trophy standings.

The 2018 Spring Term kicked off with a bang, with Cameron asserting early dominance by winning both the Senior Basketball and Debating competitions.

Stuart and Ferguson were not far behind after victories in Water Polo and Senior Theatre Sports respectively. The ensuing terms were equally as exciting; Summer term transpired with Alexander winning

18 | Reports

both Junior Debating and Indoor Soccer, whilst St Andrews won the Swimming and Keys the Cross Country. These three houses would continue to fight it out for the remainder of the year in a tightly contested battle. In Autumn Term, Ross made a push up the standings by winning the Junior Basketball and the highly coveted House Singing in front of a packed out assembly.

Anderson also lifted themselves up the standings with a convincing win in the Volleyball competition. Winter Term saw Alexander come out victorious in the Athletics Carnival, and were only caught by Keys due to strong results in Marching. Brisbane also remained close and continued their impressive run in Marching by winning both semesters.

Alexander and Keys shared the cup, while St Andrews finished 3rd.

A massive thank you must be extended to all of the Vice-Captains of Operations within each of the Houses, all of whom were responsible for co-ordinating one of the events. Without these boys, as well as key staff members who were involved

across the year such as Mr Williams, Mr Gale, Miss Blythe, Miss Evans, Mr Galipo, Mr Kandiah and Mr Bradley, these events would not have been possible.

The operations portfolio remained heavily involved in the design of the Leavers’ jumper for the leaving Class of 2019. After regular meetings at recess time, the committee created a vibrant design which would represent a fitting memento for our time at Scotch. Again, I must thank all the boys who volunteered their time to help organise the design; particularly Sam Haberland and George Evans who attended extra meetings with the design company.

2019 was an enjoyable experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life, and it was a genuine privilege to serve as ViceCaptain of Operations. Congratulations to all graduating Year 12s for your time at Scotch, and I wish you the best for the future. Best wishes also to Gianni Kain in his role as Vice-Captain, and all new Year 12s for the 2019/20 academic year.

VICE-CAPTAIN OF SERVICE 2018/2019 has seen Service and Citizenship go from strength to strength.

Alexander van Hoek Vice Captain of School (Service)

The year started off with the first whole school service event, Boardies Day, where boys were allowed to wear boardies to school to raise funds for Surf Life Saving Australia.

This year also saw the continuation of the Maddington Primary lunches. This was run by the individual House Service Captains and has been an integral aspect of the service programme.

Going into the holidays many boys continued to participate in Service events such as All Abilities Cricket and Oz Harvest. All these events saw great participation from Scotch students.

However, a particular favourite for myself and the other students was the Disabled Surfing event which has become an essential part of the Scotch Service programme, whereby volunteers assist participants with a wide range of disabilities to surf and enjoy a day at the beach. The event is held at Leighton Beach as well as other locations dotted up and down the Western Australian

coast. It is a particularly rewarding experience as the happiness of a simple act of kindness can clearly be seen on the participants’ faces.

Once boys came back from the holidays, preparations began for the World’s Greatest Shave event, to continue Scotch’s annual support towards raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. In an amazing show of support from both the boys who participated and the rest of the wider community, the College managed to raise a total of $72,790, the largest sum that Scotch has ever raised! With the inclusion of this year’s amount this means that over the past 5 years Scotch’s participation in this event has collectively raised over $175,000. This amount is incredible, and it makes a world of difference for those families faced with leukaemia.

Although Year 12 was a year of great excitement and enjoyment for many, it was also a sombre reminder of the tragedy that had transpired 5 years prior with the MH17 airplane disaster and Scotch’s connection to this through the Maslin Family. Mo was in our year group and as it was our final year, we decided to have a sports round in remembrance of

him and his family. One of Mo’s passions was the Fremantle Dockers and as a result on Tuesday 30th July all 1st teams wore purple socks during the first round against Wesley. There was also a sausage sizzle and raffle on the day, the proceeds of which were donated to the Maslin Foundation, a charity set up by Maz & Rin Maslin, which focuses on helping children with dyslexia and related learning difficulties through early childhood intervention. However, most importantly, this foundation highlights the strength of the Maslin family to turn such an atrocity into hope and benefit for others.

I believe this year, most pertinently, the boys have gained a greater appreciation for our community. This being not only the current boys, but also the Old Scotch Collegians, our teaching and support staff, as well as family. This sense of community is an important part of what it means to be a Scotch boy and I believe that to fully experience this community, you need to participate and contribute back to it.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council represents an executive platform for resonating the voice of the boys to those that can enact change around the school.

Benji Steinberg Head of Student Council

For this reason, I believe that this leadership opportunity is among the most influential in the school.

As members of the council, we are set with the responsibility of serving as a mouthpiece for the boys, working towards a friendly, open and approachable atmosphere. As such we enjoy a greater level of freedom in our thinking, being set no regimented agenda bound by tradition. In 2019, these values were emphasised as we sought to enact a paradigm shift in the perception and functionality of the student representatives. We worked tirelessly to ensure that the messages and discussions that we engaged in on a weekly basis in our meetings were articulated to the students we aimed to represent. We necessitated reports of progress to ensure integrity, and we functioned with deadlines that mandated efficiency. I’m incredibly grateful to have been able to lead the 2019 Student Council and I must thank Mr Jones and Mr Williams who were our staff supervisors throughout the year.

20 | Reports

The Student Council combined a level of friendliness and enthusiasm to each and a very proposed project, introducing many significant changes throughout the year.

These reforms permeated several factions of school life. Namely, Monday lunchtimes were turned into a vibrant atmosphere as student bands were organised to play as part of the council’s vision of ‘Live Music Mondays’. The Student Council also prioritised a connection to the school’s Scottish roots, hosting a series of Highland Games early first term including the valorised tug of war contest.

Inspired by the vision of making every student’s experience at Scotch as comfortable as possible, the Student Council also organised Donut Day, making the finest Krispy Kreme treats available to the boys, alongside the ‘Dogothon’ – an event of races which revealed the strong connection of the boys to their dogs. Food trucks were organised and stationed outside the Dickinson Centre during the exam periods of the year as various renovations were made to the drink fountains and shelters around the College. This extensive list of varied projects is indicative of the effectiveness and capacity of the Student Council to introduce change.

In evaluation, serving on the Student Council is a unique opportunity that provides direct and honest insight into the experience of the boys – one that is often overlooked in the bigger picture of school life. In turn, I genuinely believe that the Student Council should be immensely proud of their work voicing the attitudes of the boys. We hope to inspire the next year’s Student Council and convey the importance of perseverance and effort when enacting change. Ensuring that the students are heard is of the utmost importance and thus serving on the council is an incredible opportunity – please make the most of it.

R L IO O N O JU CH S

HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

eaten some food you never thought you would try, met a fear or challenge you had and overcame it. Wherever you have gone to and whatever you have done, it has changed you and made an impact on your life and who you are.

Mr John Stewart Head of Junior School

Life is a journey. My journey has taken me to three continents, five schools and brought many amazing children, parents, teachers and friends into my life. I have been truly blessed.

My journey started many years ago in Thunder Bay. As a boy I had loving parents, good friends and lots of fun. I learned a great deal about life, went to school and eventually graduated. My journey took me to the UK where I learned how to teach, met my wife, journeyed to Australia where I made a new home. I became a father and eventually ended up at Scotch, where I have spent six and a half wonderful years learning and growing as a person.

When we travel, we require a form of ID, usually a passport, to assist us on our journey. Sometimes it is used when we cross one country’s border into another country. The passport tells people who we are and where we have come from.

If you have travelled abroad before, your passport will be stamped by each country you have visited, and it may be a memory of the experiences you have had in those places. Your experiences may have included time with your family or friends, visiting new places and learning about new cultures, you may have even 22 | Junior School

A boy's journey through Junior School has the same impact on him, and the significant experiences have been stamped into his Scotch College Passport since he began in our school.

As a boy travels through our school, he embarks on new adventures, makes new friends and learns important skills to help in his future journeys. He may have added images of Inter-House competitions or that day we won the ribbon in athletics or he represented the school in his first competition to his Scotch College passport: images of art exhibitions, dancing in performing arts, writing letters in French to soldiers overseas, time as captains, commissioning services, reflections on his learning and all the new areas he has been exposed to and the skills he has become good at.

New things will be added to a boy’s passport each year, and by the end of Year 5, his passport will be full. Full of memories of friends and good times, of teachers who he liked or the teacher who challenged him to work hard and improve. But, more importantly, it would show all who looked at it, that he has been very well prepared for the next phase in his journey.

So, what will a Junior School boy take with him on his journey? He will have his passport already full of the experiences he has had and the skills he needs for his journey. Of course, he will need a suitcase. It would be full of school reports,

certificates, trophies, photographs – anything that represents a personal reminder of the events of the past years in our school.

When moving to a new place you take a great deal of the past with you, but you also leave space for new things. New memories from the new place, the new class, the school or even city. It will be interesting to see what our boys will add to their passport and their suitcase on the next part of their journey, and their life.

For me, I will take a truckload of memories in my suitcase that will always remind me of the wonderful time I have spent at Scotch College and especially in the Junior School.

Leaving Scotch is bittersweet. I love it here, but a new challenge awaits me and my family in Adelaide. I will cherish the boys of this school and have been honoured to have played a part in their journey and to have helped them to learn and to grow. I have been amazed at the capacity of a Scotch boy to be kind and caring, how they welcome new boys into our community and demonstrate a desire to learn and to work hard.

I will always reflect fondly on the sounds of bagpipes in the morning drifting across the ovals, March Out day, assemblies and Inter-House sports, the PYP Exhibitions and the many other events that showcase all that is great about this school.

I have many people I want to thank as I have so much to be grateful for.

To my colleagues on the College Executive. You are such a talented and committed group. Thank you for your collegiality and support.

To the parents of our College and especially of the Junior School.

Thank you for entrusting us, entrusting me with the education of your boys.

To the parents of our College and especially of the Junior School. Thank you for entrusting us, entrusting me with the education of your boys.

To the Junior School staff, my colleagues.

You amaze me every day. Your hard work and your total commitment to doing the very best for the boys of our school goes above and beyond. I thank you for working with me and taking this journey with me. Whether a teacher, education assistant, admin staff, you are the most talented and special group of people and educators I have ever had the pleasure to have worked with. The boys of our school are fortunate lucky to have you in their corners every day.

And finally, to Dr O’Connell, thank you for the opportunity to work in this brilliant College. I truly believe that if I hadn’t worked here and for you, my next opportunity would not have been possible.

Dr O’Connell has often spoken about our role as stewards of this College. I am one of many who have led the Junior School.

Many more will follow me. I can only hope that under my stewardship I have left a lasting imprint on the school. I wish you all the very best, and I am sure the Junior School and the College will go from strength to strength.

In closing: May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sunshine warm upon your face May the rain fall soft upon your field and until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

PRE-KINDY Pre-Kindy has been a whirlwind of activity and new experiences.

The boys and girls entered the year with great excitement, and the enthusiasm has continued.

Pre-Kindy is a time for discovery and inquiry and most importantly play. It is a time for our three and four year olds to make friends and have new experiences, it is a time of amazing development, and the achievements of these gorgeous little chaps have been phenomenal.

Their playful inquiry has led to so many discoveries about themselves and others, and about how the world works. They have inquired into their five senses, using traditional and more unusual means to make discoveries. They have planted, tended to and harvested produce in the garden and used their crops to cook food to share. They have developed their fine and gross motor skills with painting, drawing, threading, cardboard box and block construction, tree climbing, bike riding, running and jumping. They have enhanced their literacy and numeracy with books and stories, songs, nursery rhymes, counting, measuring, blocks, and mark making/ writing. Their interests have shifted and grown as they have.

Over the year our beautiful Pre-Kindys’ have developed their independence and resilience and are now ready to continue their learning journey in Kindy.

KINDERGARTEN It is hard to know where to begin when trying to describe the goings on in the Kindy classroom over the past year…

We have certainly made our presence felt with our distinctive yellow shirts popping up all over the College. The Kindy boys have travelled near and far exploring the inner workings of Scotch College from the uniform shop, archives, rooftop lookout and several “invasions” of Dr. O’Connell’s office. We came, we saw, we conquered!

Our units of inquiry have become journeys of adventure and discovery with the Kindy boys leading the charge. Throughout each of our inquiry units the boys have identified a superhero whose qualities resonate with the learner profile attributes we were trying to instil. Batman, Rockstar Kevin Croon, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Irwin family all featured heavily and helped take learning to a whole new level, allowing the boys to make meaningful connections but most importantly to have FUN! The Kindy boys discovered, however, that while they might not have a cape or wear underwear on the outside of their clothes, they are the real superheroes and have the power to change the world. It just goes to show that when you dare to dream, anything is possible.

Best of luck “Batboys” in Pre-Primary and beyond.

You’ve got this!

I will always remember…

“When we built a Batcave in our classroom and dressed up as Batman and some bad guys. I was Batman and rode the Bat bike around trying to catch the bad guys who stole the safe.”

Alessandro Caruso, K

“Having so much fun with Mrs Mazz and Mrs Hector. They make learning fun to do and are really kind and funny. They even got Batman to send me a message to say happy birthday all the way away in Gotham City.”

Hugo Maasdorp, K

“Going to the Pizzeria excursion dressed as Ninja Turtles. I was Michelangelo the Orange Ninja Turtle. He is the best because he eats the most pizza and has a skateboard. I made my own pizza and ate it all up. Just call me Mikey.”

Banjo Egerton Warburton, K

“When my Nanna’s came in to do some cooking with us. My Nanna Coral is 95 years old you know. They made quiches and we all got to help. My Mum came too. We got to eat them and they were so yummy in our tummies.”

Will Mackie, K

“Rocking out with Kevin on our AC/DC day. I made a shiny gold guitar and did some awesome moves. Kevin taught me how to sing “TNT” and how to be a Rockstar.”

Bryn Dolan, K

“The time when we were Ninja Warrior and did a special obstacle course that Mrs Flynn made. All my friends were cheering for me when I hit the buzzer. I was so tired because I had runned so fast to beat the wall.”

Gus Meredith-Humphry, K

“I will remember every day and I will miss every day. I have been here for two years now you know. I will always remember Mrs Mazz and Mrs Hector because they are the coolest teachers in the whole world. Oh, and I won my race for Robert House.”

Lachlan Horton, K “Being allowed to use the hot glue gun to make all sorts of things. I liked going to the Year 5 Exhibition too and making my own endangered animal habitat. But I will really remember everything I did because it was so much fun.”

Tom Janmaat, K

“When Rockstar Kevin visited us and taught us about guitars and AC/DC songs.

He really is a rockstar you know because he wears black and has a truck filled with stuff that makes really loud noise.”

Ollie Milner, K “When we got to go out onto the oval and do running in our House shirts. I ran really fast. I am in Gordon house, same as Bryn.

I got a ribbon for Cross Country and lots of ribbons on the other running day.”

Chase Nerlich, K

PRE-PRIMARY Summer Term marked new beginnings for Pre-Primary at Scotch.

A new Pre-Primary space was created and soon filled with the chatter and laughter of old and new Scotch boys, their families and educators. The boys came together as a group and made the space their new home, identifying areas where they could take action to make a difference.

Bush School quickly became a muchloved part of our week, with the boys setting off with Mrs Clancy to care for, play in and learn about their natural environment.

Autumn Term saw us join in the InterHouse Cross Country, our first whole School event. The boys enthusiastically ran for their House and were very proud to be out on the oval with the big boys. We also visited the Perth Zoo to investigate patterns in the animal kingdom.

Early in Winter Term we celebrated our 100th Day of School with a big party and a special visit from Dr O’Connell. The boys were very excited to compete again for their House in the Inter-House Athletic Carnival, we were so proud of their enthusiasm, resilience and especially their sportsmanship.

Our Sharing the Planet inquiry was a wonderful opportunity for the boys to become nature warriors and learn more about the precious ecosystem around Lake Claremont. We visited the lake with our guide from Friends of Lake Claremont, who taught the boys how to protect the turtles when they move away from the

28 | Junior School

lake to lay their eggs. The boys were keen to share this information with the rest of the school, so they worked in teams to make posters and present a talk to each of the Junior School classes.

Suddenly it was Spring Term and the boys enjoyed demonstrating their creative talents in many different ways, including puppet making and performing their first assembly item.

During this busy, and exciting year, the boys also found time to learn how to read and write, develop their numeracy and physical skills, begin to speak French, develop their creativity through Art and Music and, most importantly, become kind and caring members of the Scotch Community.

YEAR 1 Big Boys Now

2019 was our year of growth. We had successfully scaled the pirate ship. Our sights were now set on always being first to the hand ball courts. We had plenty of treetops, lines, dubs and replays so no one ever got out. We were all now kings of the playground; or so we thought.

No longer were we being marched into our class by our parents. We were now big Year 1s making our own way to the classroom from the kiss and drop. Our parents barely had time to say goodbye before we slammed the door and skipped off to class.

However, the reality set in with spelling lists to learn, reading books to read, reading club to attend and our very own iPads to charge and look after. Is it Golden Time yet? We were ready for the challenge and nothing was going to hold us back.

We opened our chakras and uttered our mantra “there is no place like home, there is no place like home” but soon we reached a state of mindfulness and our zen for learning was one with Mrs Gray.

There were many highlights this year.

One in particular was our excursion to Whiteman Park where we got to explore how transport has changed over time.

Wow… what a lot of work it was to get to school in the olden days. The children had to get up much earlier than us to get themselves and their horse and carriage ready for their bumpy ride to school.

30 | Junior School

Another highlight was the incursion from the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre where we made junk puppets. We used recycled materials along with wire, glue and loads of imagination. The most popular type of puppet was The Ninja with no legs.

We have had a very exciting year and have loved learning so much. We are Big Boys now! Bring on Year 2!

“My best day was Mud Day because it was fun to get muddy.”

YEAR 2 The energy and enthusiasm from the boys on their first day of Year 2 made for a fun-filled, exciting and stimulating year.

Throughout 2019 the boys were challenged, and we feel they have truly learnt so much about themselves and the world around them. When walking into the classroom, you would notice boys collaborating in pairs or small groups and all taking charge of their own learning journey. This displays the maturity they have gained this year.

Inquiry units are designed so the boys can question everything around them and continue their love of learning into adulthood.

The Units of Inquiry enabled the boys to present some very professional presentations. Each boy can take credit in teaching his peers something interesting, informative and new.

Science experiments, significant people, celebrations, saving the planet, public spaces will be retained as a positive memory of Year 2. Seeing things from a different perspective has enabled the boys to notice their surroundings in ways they wouldn’t have seen before.

Year 2 can easily be defined as the ‘Year of the Buddy’. The boys were fortunate enough to be buddied up with a Year 12 Scotch boy and a Year 2 PLC girl for the year. Many adventures were held. In 10 years when the Year 12s meet their Year 2 buddies again, they can discuss memories of making towers, exploring some nooks and crannies of the Scotch College campus, sports games and moviemaking (including costumes that might not fit anymore). The Year 2s will be able

32 | Junior School

to hear what the real world looks like from the point of view of their Year 12 buddy in 10 years’ time.

The excursions with the PLC girls saw both schools work together by planting shrubs at Lake Claremont to help save the planet, making toys and equipment from recycled goods and finally being able to spend money at Claremont Quarter to share lunch. Hopefully, some longlasting friendships have been made and maybe even a Year 12 ball date (watch this space).

Mrs Alexander, Mrs Jenkin and Mrs Scarvaci spent the year in awe. Watching the boys take ownership of their own learning to produce some incredible academic feats. Being able to be around young minds like these will be a hard act to follow. The boys were greatly loved with lots of fun and laughter throughout the year.

“My favourite thing about Year 2 was creating Cookie Ninja because it was so much fun testing it out.”

George Young, Year 2A “My favourite thing about Year 2 was Math class because there were some excruciatingly hard questions that made me think.”

Sebastian Kahl, Year 2A “My best day was our last day with our Year 12 buddies for 2019 because we got to make time capsules with the iMovie.”

Ethan Palassis, Year 2A

“Our class is special because I know all the teachers think we’re the best class in Junior School!”

Darcy Bartholomaeus, Year 2A “My best day was Harry’s blindfold challenge because it was fantastic going through the obstacle course without being able to see.”

Brandon Wu, Year 2A “The most awesome excursion was when we bought the food from Coles with the PLC girls and then we got to eat it.”

Brin Kitcher, Year 2A “The most awesome incursion was the green machine as there were lots of different big and small pieces to use.”

Crusoe Bachofen von Echt, Year 2A “The coolest moment of Year 2 was when Colin Barnett came in because he was the Premier of Western Australia and he gave us the Children’s Hospital and Optus Stadium.”

Dylan Herbert, Year 2A “Our class is special because we work together, we are cooperative, we have fun and we all work well.”

Ahren Mahesh, Year 2A “The funniest moment was when Mrs Alexander’s dog Sasha came into class.”

Jacob Little, Year 2A

YEAR 3 Our time in Year 3 has been amazing and we’ve made many happy memories this year.

We quickly discovered it would be ACTION packed in a PYP way as our teachers introduced us to the word SERVICE. We launched ourselves into fundraising, organising events, baking cookies, sharing Morning Tea and checkers with Romily House residents and gathering donations for our local community. Shenton Dogs’ Home was overwhelmed by all of the towels that we collected but also slightly bemused by the packet of dog nappies that we handed over!

Year 3 was also a huge year for STEM and every week we arrived at school, eager to see what the day’s mission would be; rocket launchers, bath bombs, basketball stands, fridge magnets, beebots and 3D printing to name a few.

It taught us about teamwork and cooperation and it also taught us a lot about tidying up the absolute bombsites of classrooms that we created. Please note parents; we have received full accreditation in the Spray and Wipe training course and are available for all household duties immediately. Do not be fooled - we are accomplished cleaners but do prefer dancing to loud pop music as we work.

During Inquiry, we heard from organisations as far apart as 6010 to Ethiopia and as time progressed in our Unit of Inquiry so did we! We met with two speakers from Aged Care organisations, a small local business (with the bonus of little cupcakes) and BHP’s Head of Legal

34 | Junior School

who generously gave up her time to share the about a major organisation structure.

With the clarity that all organisations work diligently to remain effective and successful, we thought of one more we should research – our own Scotch College! Heading back from our visit with the Archivist, we realised there was still so much for us to learn but so much about our school to be proud of.

Action components of our inquiry presented us with many opportunities to create memories; maths practice during morning fitness, auditing and graphing food collected for the 3-2-1 bags for Homelessness WA in 3S and just before we departed 2019 a Scottish Afternoon with the PLC girls.

In our reflections it dawned on us, every guest speaker who came spoke about their people, their people’s attitude, their willingness to look beyond themselves as individuals and their commitment to work together and embrace challenge and change.

“It was amazing in Year 3, we did lots of different STEM lessons, inquiry and lots more. We had lots of incursions from BHP, Aged Care Homes and the Little Bakery.”

Angus Noble, Year 3S “My time in year three was amazing, Sadly, Mrs Springall left because her husband had a job in a different country, but luckily we got a new teacher, our old teacher, Mrs Mitchell.”

Noah Hubble, Year 3S “I loved Year 3 because we got to do some stuff with the PLC girls, the Little Bakery came to visit us and we got to play a variety of sports too!”

Harrison Alder, Year 3S “I liked Year 3 because I got to be a class rep and have some responsibility.”

Oscar Seaburne-May, Year 3S

Seriously those Learner Attributes were everywhere!

“My time in Year 3 was fun because we had two different teachers and we had lots of fun on incursions and excursions.

My favourite part of the year was our outdoor education trip to Perth Hills and also when my Mum came to speak to us about BHP.” George Saicic, Year 3S

Our attitudes and minds have changed and grown throughout Year 3 and we’re not the same boys, so no turning back now here we come Year 4.

“A tip for new boys is if you like to play sport you can do it lots in Year 3 with lots of different games.”

Lucas Kwan, Year 3S

“We had so many possibilities for learning, we did so much, had excursions to the Zoo and people came in to give us incursions, like the time BHP visited.”

YEAR 4 This year has delivered greatness beyond all of our expectations!

2019 was filled with talented guest speakers who inspired us with their remarkable achievements. Mark Greenwood, an author, came to share his tales of Australian history with twists about hidden treasures. We also welcomed Professor Peter Quinn from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. What scientists are doing with radio waves is beyond phenomenal.

Included in this world-class line up was a visit from a guest astronomer, Richard Tonello. He brought a dedicated solar telescope to the school for us to safely view the sun!

We were also treated to excursion adventures to fuel our curiosity and wonder. First was Cottesloe’s extraordinary Sculptures by the Sea, followed by a trip to Scitech to explore scientific marvels.

The Awesome Arts Festival in Northbridge highlighted the brilliance of puppeteers and Fremantle’s Shipwreck Galleries inspired our passion for history. We also found ourselves on the shores of City Beach with Tangaroa Blue, doing our bit to clean up and protect our ocean and marine life.

It was amazing how we could take our learning well beyond the classroom.

This was also an especially special year for those in Year 4 as we had our first JPSSA experience. The boys set off to compete against Hale and Christ Church in Cricket, Rugby, AFL, Hockey, Basketball and

36 | Junior School

Soccer. Our blood, sweat and tears led us to victory, for the most part! The Scotch boys played hard and played fair, shaking hands with our opponents, whether we won or lost.

To end our year, we embarked on the leadership journey, all leading up to now, where some of us hold valued captaincies for Year 5. Despite the nerves and dread of public speaking, we faced our audience courageously; the end result being where we stand today. We are all extremely proud of ourselves, regardless of whether we hold an official position or not. We can’t wait to see our classmates flourish as leaders next year!

“The most awesome excursion was the Awesome Arts excursion in Northbridge.

I loved the emotional and amazing Alvin Sputnik puppet show and when we saw Scotch boys’ artwork flashed up on a large screen for all the community to see.

I loved the day so much.”

Jacob Young, 4T “The best part of Year 4 was dressing up as James Dean for our unit of inquiry.”

Keanu Bachofen von Echt, Year 4C “The coolest moment in 4T was undoubtedly our visit to the Shipwreck Galleries in Fremantle to see the Batavia.

I’m passionate about our history so I loved this experience.”

“My favourite part of Year 4 was the camp.

We got to do lots of fun stuff. I also liked going to the library every second Thursday.”

Jacob Timmcke, Year 4C “Our class is special because everyone is engaged, and every minute is filled with enthusiasm and intelligence.”

Jasper Levy, 4T “The best part of the year was when my dad came in and taught us about the heart. He brought in one cow heart and four sheep hearts.”

Dominic Van Niekerk, Year 4C “My favourite thing about the year was the Outdoor Ed experience where we stayed at school overnight. It was amazing and now I’m looking forward to the next camp at Moray.”

Marcus Whittome, 4T “The most exciting thing was when I got to dress up as Elvis Presley. It was so much fun!”

YEAR 5 Year 5 is always buzzing with energy!

Being the top of the Junior School comes with greater responsibilities and numerous exciting events and activities.

We have enjoyed new friendships, incredible learning opportunities and have had tons of fun. Year 5 has been challenging and sometimes even exhausting, but it has been unforgettable.

The year began with meeting our new teachers and the new student additions to the classes. Having new students meant that new friendships could bloom. Year 5 has stimulating Inquiry units, and our first unit saw us forming political parties and voting for our favourite candidates and party. To deepen our understanding, we went to Parliament House and the Electoral Centre for Education. Mock elections were a great way to learn about how our government system works.

Another highlight unit was The Sharing the Planet Game about the economic, social and political standing of different countries. Who could forget losing food and water tokens due to a mock earthquake and then appealing for aide from our model United Nations assembly?

Moray Camp was the standout event of Term 1. There is no better way of getting to know one another than staying at a camp with your class and teachers overnight.

Cooking a shared meal and trying not to poison one another is always a challenge as is cleaning up the mess. We are pleased to say that we survived and really enjoyed ourselves. We learned lots of skills and became more independent.

The three activities at Moray were the

38 | Junior School

Amazing Race, rafting and orienteering.

No one will forget being pushed off the rafts, especially by Dr O’Connell!

The increased access to our devices is another highlight of Year 5. Having iPad Pros meant we could produce more creative work with our Apple pens. We made stop motion movies, produced creative notes by Sketchnoting, animations in Sketches and movies in iMovie. We also made Eye Jack animations for PYP Exhibition. Class Craft provided the opportunity to work together in teams to earn points and learn powers, but it also meant a possible loss of points and privileges. We recommend careful handling of the iPad next year as we were not the best group for careful use of our iPads.

The PYP Exhibition is always the pinnacle of the year. With a new transdisciplinary theme of How the World Works and a new central idea, ‘As technology advances, so does its impact,’ we were highly motivated to challenge ourselves with a range of burning questions about the technology in the world around us. We enjoyed researching, notetaking and writing our information reports. Creating a statement piece to showcase our learning was a rewarding part of the journey. Overall, our favourite part was sharing to the adult audience as we loved displaying how much we had learned throughout the process.

Let the Games Begin was the musical directed by Miss Samson. Seventy-five boys learned dance moves, songs and

lines to dazzle the audience with our performance skills. Our stunning costumes and funky dance moves won’t be forgotten. What a year it has been!

“My best day in Year 5 was probably winning the mock-election, I found it really fun and a fantastic experience.

I was also very proud of my Mum for getting the one and only SCO-MO to say vote for our party. I also really liked asking other teams questions and finding faults in their campaign.”

William Macknay, Year 5W “My favourite thing about Year 5 was the ‘Sharing the Planet’ topic when we got to discover about different countries and be the representatives of the country.

My favourite day was the day we went on an excursion to Parliament House.

The best activity was when we did the speakers challenge.”

Edward Meadows, Year 5W “Being a captain is a great opportunity to work on your leadership skills like public speaking and speech writing. When you are a captain you will be busy, but you will have a great time.”

Jake Cuomo, Year 5C “My favourite thing of 2019 Year 5 was the musical. I found the musical really fun as I liked to sing and do sets of movement.

Although I was just a pawn, I wasn’t any ordinary pawn! I was me and I think I did a great job of my part.”

PYP EXHIBITION The Primary Years Programme (PYP) Exhibition is the culminating event of a Scotch College Junior School boy.

Mr Warwick Norman Dean of Teaching & Learning Junior School

For some, it is a six-year journey undertaken by the students and is a celebration of not only what they learn but also how they learn in an inquiry modelled approach.

This year the Year 5 boys were immersed in a nine-week collaboratively constructed Unit of Inquiry.

The inquiry was part of the transdisciplinary theme of ‘How the World Works’. The boys developed their own central idea; “As technology advances so does its impact”.

The boys were involved in all of the essential elements of the PYP and shared them with the whole school community in an exhibition presentation. Our specialist staff took responsibility for driving some of the essential elements as well as looking at the central idea from their areas of expertise. Physical Education focused on social skills (Approaches to Learning), Art looked at the relationship between the central idea and the boys’ personal beliefs around technology, French focused on the work of Madame Currie and her advancements in technology, and Performing Arts looked at the central idea through a sneak-preview performance of ‘Let the Games Begin’.

“The most pleasurable part of Year 5 was the PYP Exhibition. As you progress through school looking up at the Year 5s, you probably neglected Exhibition and looked past how difficult it was for them, but by the time you get to Year 5 you’ll see that Exhibition will be the most fun part of all.”

George Young, Year 5W “I really liked the Exhibition because we had guest speakers that helped us to figure out what we wanted to learn. We took notes on what they said. We then chose a topic. We did heaps of notes and then wrote our report. Making the statement piece was fun because we got to use lots of tools and the Fab Lab.” Mitch Williams, Year 5C “The Exhibition was easily one of the most fun and educational experience in the Junior School where we had time to research, write a report and make and present a statement piece. At the start of exhibition, a man named Harold Yap came and talked to us about brain computers, agriculture and gene editing and l was quite interested in the gene editing side of things, so l decided that my burning question would be; How can gene editing impact future lives?”

Thomas Chambers, Year 5W

“I found the PYP Exhibition to be really fun, exciting and difficult. The fun thing was planning and making the statement piece.

The difficult part was finding information and writing the report. The exciting part was presenting on the night.”

Fletcher Hector, Year 5C “The Exhibition was so much fun. We tested our limits to see what we could do but it all worked out. Exhibition was one of the most fun times of my time in Year 5.”

Oliver Payne, Year 5W “The Exhibition was really hard at the start because we had to do so much research and notes. Then it was fun because we got to design a statement piece and then we got to create it. After we got all the materials we got to spend lots of time making it and then showing everyone what we made.”

Zander Marshall, Year 5C “My favourite part of the PYP Exhibition is the exhibition night, I love sharing my knowledge with friends, family and peers about renewable energy and showing my statement piece to the public is very uplifting! It was really interesting because my Dad used to be the boss of one of the guest speakers (Harold Yap). We didn’t only talk to the parents though.

We also shared our deep and thorough knowledge with the Junior School, PLC girls and the International School.”

Daniel Weustink, Year 5W

HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL “To me, Middle School is about diversity, opportunity, responsibility and pride. I feel a sense of each while I’m here at the College.”

Lochie Elliott Year 8

Mr Richard Ledger Head of Middle School

With Speech Night a recent and pleasing memory, it is a great opportunity now to sit back and look at the achievements of boys and staff for 2019.

This year’s Speech Night Programme quote by Lochie Elliott captures it beautifully with the words; diversity, opportunity, responsibility and pride.

It is wonderful these words feature so prominently in the voices of our boys.

On Speech Night, we heard from Jason Pocock and Tom Gray, as they thanked their parents, teachers and fellow peers for the support, recognition and the opportunity that they have had whilst in Middle School. Speech Night brings it all together in a wonderful celebration.

But here and the following pages is a snapshot of 2019 across Middle School.

Middle School enjoyed the unique arrangement of having two different Heads of Middle School and two different Deputy Heads of Middle School all in the same year, with Mr John Stewart and Mr Peter Gaspar filling in as Head of Middle School and Deputy Head of Middle School throughout the year.

Prior to Speech Night, Middle School held the IB Learner Profile Awards Assembly. This assembly recognises

46 | Junior School

student achievement rated against the International Baccalaureate’s Learner Profile attributes. This year we had 50 boys receive their recognition from the Headmaster and their teachers for their work as measured against the Learner Profile. In addition to this, we had Benji Steinberg (Year 12) present the Mo Maslin Citizenship Awards to our three recipients for this year.

One of the most significant initiatives in Middle School this year was the iPad trial in Year 6, watching teachers and students working with this new device, and coming to grips with the flexibility and the agility that it allows in the teaching and learning programme. The ability to access tailor made apps to enhance and deepen learning and to provide opportunities for boys to continue their learning has been a wonderful outcome of this device. The creative potential of the iPad is only just being realised with boys now moving to deliver multi-media presentations of their work, moving away from single format PowerPoints or documents, into animated presentations that include video texts and visuals.

In Year 8, the second iteration of the Community Project, and the improvements following its first round in 2018, was quite amazing. The feedback from the boys about their engagement in their project, not so much with the hands on work that they did, but with the soft skills of collaboration, problem-solving, researching and the development of their social skills, along with their oral and visual presentation skills, has seen this become an increasingly important and beneficial part of Middle School.

Two first time opportunities this year were two Indigenous Cultural Tours for our Year 8 students. The first tour went to Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, where boys visited schools in Katherine before going out to Barunga Community School and spending three days in this community, in classrooms, working with the students in sport, art, literature and music. The second tour was to Kununurra and Wyndham and include working with the boys in the Clontarf Foundation. The other tour to depart this year was the Round Square Student Conference, where eight Year 7 boys participated in the World Youth Round Square Conference in Jakarta. It was an amazing experience for these boys who came back completely animated by the experience of visiting and working in villages, experiencing working elephants and the joy of coming to grips with a new culture.

Middle School House Competition The Middle School House Shield was once again decided on the narrowest of margins. When we think of all the point scoring that happens across all the different events, this is quite an amazing result. My congratulations to Bruce House who has taken out the shield for 2019, their first since the inception of Middle School. The Swimming Carnival was won

by Gordon House, the Cross-Country was won by Robert House, Athletics by James House, Debating by Bruce House, and the Spelling-Bee by Bruce House.

Therefore the winning House for 2019 was Bruce House.

I thank parents for helping us create and deliver once again another rich year of opportunities for our Middle School boys.

Mo Maslin Citizenship Awards 2019 Year 6 Charlie McCall Year 7 Max Thorpe Year 8 Daniel Kerfoot

Congratulations to the 2019 Scholarship winners JA Gooch James Vaughan GG Gooch Simon Pocock

The Ramsay Cup The Ramsay Cup is the Staff vs Students competition with teachers competing against teams of Year 8 boys across a range of fun sporting events. Floorball, 3-Point Basketball, Table Tennis, and AFL Goal Kicking were some of the activities that staff and students compete in. This year I would like to announce that the Ramsay Cup was won by the teachers!

One of the new additions this year, as the photos will highlight, has been the new basketball courts and cricket area in the Middle School Quad. The areas were funded with the generosity of the Scotch Parents, and since they have opened they have been used non-stop.

It is the support of parents, not just in the funding of sports equipment and play areas, but the support of parents week in and week out, at the sidelines at sport, supporting as audiences at music events and assemblies, but also supporting boys outside of school with homework and assignments. Parents help boys understand the importance of and the skill development required in sustaining friendship. I thank parents for helping us create and deliver once again another rich year of opportunities for our Middle School boys.

YEAR 6 Curriculum A focus on real-world contexts for inquiry learning underpinned all areas of the curriculum in Year 6. This along with opportunities to engage with topics in a hands-on manner led to students pushing their comfort zones and extending their understandings of the world. The incorporation of transferable Approaches to Learning and active ongoing reflection enhanced learning experiences and a rich curriculum. iLearn provided students with the opportunity to explore a variety of topics, including natural disasters, electricity, Government, migration and Economics.

Most importantly, the foundation of the Year 6 programme consisted of developing research skills and critical thinking. The integration of concepts relating to Science and Individuals and Societies allowed students to explore these concepts at a much deeper level. Winter Term was incredibly busy as students explored how science is used in the real world with the Year 6 Science Fair. The boys were excited to share their findings with parents, friends and staff during the big day. The final inquiry of the year involved the creation of an Economics documentary. This was a highlight for many students and they certainly worked hard to achieve professional films.

In Mathematics, boys were challenged to extend their knowledge of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.

Patterning was a key focus throughout the year and how patterns can be found across all mathematical concepts were explored in detail. Our learning experiences allowed the opportunity to use manipulatives and apps to assist in developing a deep understanding.

Probability was an enjoyable way to end the year with many hands-on games used to explore the essential concepts. Greedy Pig was a favourite for many boys, and it was a chance to see their competitive nature and then apply this to their own board games.

During English, students were given the opportunity to engage with their own story to create an autobiography after exploring the works of others. A focus on written comprehension, fictional writing and language features contributed to

48 | Junior School

Semester One being a varied and exciting start with the novel Hatchet proving popular amongst the cohort. Production of factual and persuasive texts saw boys explore the film Rabbit Proof Fence (2002).

During Semester Two students engaged with the works of Shaun Tan, including; ‘The Rabbits’ and ‘The Lost Thing’. The importance of learning from the past and role of images were popular topics.

In addition to these exciting curriculum areas boys engaged with regular French or Indonesian lessons, enjoying an immersion in a second language and many hands-on activities. Design classes that involved Food, Wood and Digital design skills saw students work hard to produce delicious, healthy treats, design and build a variety of projects including a gumball machine and learn the importance of technology and coding skills. All of this contributed to an exciting and engaging year.

Events Throughout the year students were able to participate in a variety of experiences, some linked to curriculum and others sports or social skills. These included excursions, school incursions, quiz nights and guest speakers along with the opportunities for students to share their own learning journeys.

The first big event involved the Year 6s from Scotch College visiting our sister school, Presbyterian Ladies College to enjoy an afternoon of STEM activities.

During the PLC ‘Big Day In’ everything from rocket racers to online learning platforms were explored. Students built Solar Buddies, a small solar lights that are distributed to areas of need internationally, and these were a fantastic example of how technology is being used in the real world.

During a busy week in Autumn Term boys also had the opportunity to attend the second Scribblers Festival hosted at Scotch College. The chance to have Eddy Woo and Dr Karl Kruszelnicki share their unique perspectives on Mathematics and Science in the world around us was both entertaining and thoroughly enjoyed.

Students enjoyed many incursions throughout the year. These included a visit from the Electoral Commission, as part of our Energised Government

unit. The experience of undertaking a preferential election in each class led to many interesting and insightful questions, helping to build upon the topics and learning in our iLearn unit.

Semester Two started with boys taking the spotlight and completing an investigation to apply the Scientific Method. A quick visit to the movies to see 2040 (2019). helped to stimulate some interesting ideas for Science Fair. The resulting reports, videos, photographs and artefacts were all on display during the event. The engaging topics, fascinating findings and the ability to not only present but to engage with adults and answer some tricky questions were exceptional and the standard of work was even better.

Harry Hill is to be commended for winning the best display on the day with his investigation into: ‘What food do dogs enjoy the most?’

In no time the social event of the year, the Scotch/PLC quiz night, was upon us.

With an emphasis on social skills and teamwork, students were quick to make new friends and check-in with old friends.

Not only were the quiz questions fun, the opportunity to dance and share a meal made a great night even better.

A busy year also included a visit to the Maritime Museum to explore Perth’s migration stories. The opportunity to engage with the real world and share their ideas have helped the boys to achieve some outstanding results and build complex understandings of the world in which they live while keeping busy all year.

A focus on real world contexts for inquiry learning underpinned all areas of curriculum in Year 6.

All students had an absolute ball developing their practical skills, overcoming challenges and improving their resilience and perseverance in a dynamic learning environment.

Sport & Outdoor Education The JPSSA Sports programme continues to be hugely popular with the Year 6 cohort of boys as they enjoy the opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of a wide variety of team sports throughout the year.

The year began with the boys enjoying Water Polo, Volleyball, Tennis, Cricket and Basketball matches against fellow JPSSA schools. All students discovered the importance of teamwork while working hard to achieve a common goal. Early morning Tuesday training sessions was also another commitment that allowed the Scotch boys to develop their knowledge and understanding of the rules of their chosen sports.

During Winter Term, Year 6 students had a choice of participating in an exciting selection of team sports including Soccer, Rugby, Hockey and Australian Rules Football. Many of the Scotch College teams played out the entire Winter season undefeated while all of the boys continued to display a respectful attitude towards their opponents and officials before, during and after each of their games.

A large number of Year 6 boys also took part in the annual Inter-House Gaelic tournament. In what was the fourth year the competition has been run, all students enjoyed participating in a sport they have been learning about and developing their skills in weekly Physical Education lessons.

The winner of the 2019 Inter-House Gaelic tournament was Gordon House after narrowly beating Bruce House in the final.

Outdoor Education lessons were enjoyed immensely by the entire Year 6 cohort throughout 2019. Boys loved all of the activities provided by the Outdoor Education team both inside and outside of the classroom. Some of the activities included learning how to make rigs for their fishing lines, developing their compass and map reading skills and learning how to cook with a Trangia.

One of the undoubted highlights of the Year 6 Outdoor Education programme was learning how to surf in the ocean confidently. All Year 6 classes enjoyed group surfing lessons at Leighton Beach in Autumn Term and then experienced three action-packed days camping with the Outdoor Education team in Lancelin during Spring Term.

During their stay in Lancelin, boys built on their understanding of beach safety and surf awareness while developing their confidence and skill set in a marine environment.

Some of the highlights included working collaboratively in a team, camping out in tents with their buddies, riding some huge waves at Back Beach and gaining a real insight into the history surrounding the coastal town of Lancelin and the characteristics of the surrounding ecosystems.

Despite a couple of cold nights, it was a fun-filled, action-packed few days, which would not have been possible without the expertise and guidance of Mr Templar, Mr Holdman, Ms Guy and Mr Brogden.

All students had an absolute ball developing their practical skills, overcoming challenges and improving their resilience and perseverance in a dynamic learning environment.

Student Reflections “This year has been amazing. At the start of the year, everyone came to school looking forward to what lied ahead. I remember coming to the Middle School thinking ‘Wow this place is amazing.’ The first highlight of Year 6 was going to PLC for the Big Day In. We made all kinds of interesting things during this activity.

The biggest highlight of the year was the camp at Lancelin. It was incredible!

We went surfing at Back Beach, we ran around the town finding different landmarks for the Amazing Race and we got an entire oval to play in with a skate park and a fantastic playground. For all of this I thank Scotch College for making this year fun for all of us.”

Charlie McCall, Year 6 “This was my first year at Scotch College; following in the footsteps of my brother, father and grandfather was better than anything I could have imagined. A major highlight was performing in the Middle School production, Worry Warts. It was cool; despite having to dress as an older woman, it was still really good fun. The Quiz Night was great too; having the PLC girls come to Scotch certainly created a buzz for the students. Playing a musical instrument was compulsory, which I wasn’t so keen on at the start; however, I’m now into it and enjoying the music classes.

These are just a few of the awesome things I have done this year. However, my biggest highlight was the Surf Camp at Lancelin. It was such great fun and surfing was not the only thing to do. Fishing, orienteering, a night walk and surfing three hours a day was great. I almost wish I could do Year 6 again.”

Harry Alexander, Year 6

“Year 6 was a very fun year full of highs. One of the greatest things this year was definitely Surf Camp. It was fun bonding with all the other kids while surfing, fishing and many more fun things. I also enjoyed Design. It was fun cooking food one day then making a gumball machine the next and then programming an Edison robot not long after. I really enjoyed Science Fair as it was a challenge to meet other people while testing an experiment. Overall Year 6 has been an excellent year and I am looking forward to next year.”

Oliver Knuckey, Year 6 “Before I came to Year 6, I was worried about all of the different teachers and subjects that I would have to face. But this year, I loved all the things we got to do.

Some of the highlights in Year 6 for me were all the opportunities that I had, like the Year 6 Music Programme, the Lancelin Surf Camp, the Inter-School Spelling Bee, and many co–curricular activities.

I learnt how to play the flute, and I was invited to other ensembles like Friday Morning Band, where I could collaborate with my friends in music. I enjoyed the Inter-School Spelling Bee, because it was an opportunity to compete in an area that I enjoyed and represent Scotch. I also loved Cluedunnit and Tournament of Minds because it was really fun creating iMovies with our ideas and working creatively as a team. Anyone who is worried about coming to Year 6 shouldn’t be worried, because Year 6 is awesome.”

YEAR 7 Curriculum The Year 7 Middle School Curriculum is so much more than facts, figures and the development of knowledge. While these things are important and have their place in today’s world, The Year 7 units of work have a strong emphasis on developing Approaches to Learning Skills (ATLs).

These skills focus on helping students to develop self-knowledge and skills required to enjoy a lifetime of learning.

Some of these skills embedded in MYP units of work and are explicitly taught include communication, collaboration, self-management, research skills and critical and creative thinking. These skills often set IB schools apart from others as they instil tools for learning that will stay with the boys long into their future and well beyond their days at Scotch College.

With this in mind, our Year 7 curriculum focus was definitely on creative and critical thinking. In English, the boys commenced the year reading and writing stories about the Unexplained and Unexpected. We were entertained by the great Dave Caddy, author and expert in storytelling. In Winter Term the boys created their own slam poetry and we finished the year exploring Greek mythology.

In Visual Arts the Year 7 boys produced expressionist influenced self-portraits where they utilised forms of non-verbal communication to explore identity. They produced clay figurines and created Organic Sculptures.

Design and Technology allowed the boys to get hands-on, and most of the boys couldn’t wait to move to these classes.

They created CO2 Dragsters in Materials Design and raced each other at the end of the course. In Food Design the Healthy Hamburger was extremely popular as was the process of designing it. In Digital Design the boys were introduced to a Micro:Bit where they applied their programming skills to code a Micro:Bit with the purpose of making life easier for someone else.

Mathematics and iLearn had a strong focus on applying skills from the classroom to solve real-world problems. A fine example of this was the measurement assignment in Mathematics that had all the students recording very precise data about the Middle School Quad. In iLearn, the boys tried their hand at solving some of the big problems of the world by using 54 | Junior School

their knowledge of History, Geography, Science and Economics to solve the Cane Toad problem and the Global Water Crisis. iLearn and Mathematics allowed the boys to combine their skills and talents to help raise awareness of the Global Water Crisis, by participating in a walkathon to raise money and support the work of Water Aid. This raised $4758.95 for Water Aid with one of the Year 7 boys, William Salom, raising over $500.

The boys demonstrated their ability to work collaboratively in Drama and Physical Education. In small groups they worked together to script, rehearse and perform their own melodrama and in Physical Education, they participated in the Sports Education in Physical Education Programme (SEPEP), which is a student-centred approach where boys were responsible for the organisation and running of their own programme.

Boys undertook roles such as a captain, coach, umpire, time-keeper, statistician and publicity manager. Consequently, they developed their team-work, leadership, organisation, collaboration, communication and problem-solving skills.

Events In the Summer Term, boys were challenged to create an innovative and sustainable product or service that would have a positive impact on the community.

This culminated in our Year 7 Shark Tank presentation. The best and brightest innovative ideas from each class were presented to a prestigious panel of Design experts from UWA. The premier social event of the year was the Year 7 Scotch/PLC Quiz Night in Spring Term. Around 250 boys and girls attended the event held in the Dickinson Centre. The night was filled with music, dancing and excited chatter. The room was beautifully decorated by parents, and Scotch boys provided food for all of the guests. The very energetic Ms Hodgson hosted the most popular round which was, ‘Guess That Tune’. While having good general knowledge was helpful, being able to show your moves on the dance floor was more important.

The Year 7 cohort also participated in many opportunities to extend their education and personal journey beyond the classroom. Early in Autumn Term, the boys were involved in an excursion to the city to investigate the redevelopment

of key places across the CBD. Students analysed the urban design of key public spaces in Perth to evaluate the liveability and amenity of Perth for visitors and residents. The boys completed a walking tour of Yagan Square, Elizabeth Quay and the City of Perth Library. They also ventured to the Groundwater Replenishment Centre in Craigie. This consolidated our learning about treated wastewater and solutions to becoming climate-resilient in order to secure our water supply in the future.

Sport Year 7 students enjoyed the PSA programme and participated in a variety of team sports throughout the year.

During both Summer and Spring Terms, boys have the opportunity to represent Scotch College in Basketball, Cricket, Tennis, Volleyball, Water Polo, Golf, Sailing, Swimming and Rowing. They have shown themselves to be disciplined throughout the year with their training sessions and this has resulted in some impressive results throughout both terms.

During Autumn and Winter Terms, boys change their selections of sport and had the opportunity to play Australian Rules Football, Soccer, Rugby, Hockey and Badminton. Many of these teams had undefeated and successful seasons and the boys’ attitude towards their opponents, officials and their own teammates was to be commended.

Throughout the year, selected Year 7 boys represented the College in PSA Swimming and Athletic teams. Both AJ Merry for Athletics and Isaac Smith for Swimming were crowned the Under 13 PSA Age Group Champions. It was pleasing to see so many boys attend the early morning and the afternoon training sessions, which created a positive culture within the groups.

The boys also undertook Physical Education lessons throughout the year and some of the highlights of the programme included planning and performing a Gymnastics routine, creating and delivering their own student-led sports competition and refining their skills in striking and fielding sports such as Tee Ball and Cricket. Sport plays a valuable part of the Scotch College community and once again the boys dived in head first to all the opportunities available to them.

The Year 7 cohort also participated in many opportunities to extend their education and personal journey beyond the classroom.

Reflections “A highlight this year has been getting to make our own sports tournament with Sports Education in Physical Education Programme (SEPEP). We are in complete control - we umpire, we play, we make fixtures and the teacher allows us to be independent.”

Charlie Parker, Year 7.3 “Throughout the year, I have enjoyed sailing the most. This has been because it strongly encourages boys like me to take responsibility by sailing in the open water.

This experience was highly valuable to me, and I would strongly enjoy taking up an experience like this again.”

Mitchell Henwood, Year 7.3 “When I look back at Year 7 something that stands out is making new friendships and meeting new people. I thoroughly enjoyed Lego club. I found this a new way to meet people. I enjoyed our Indonesian incursion with V1MAST. He was an inspiring person and entertainer. Year 7 was filled with many ups and downs although most of them turned out to be good.”

Bram Ezekiel, Year 7.3 “Over the year something that stands out to me is Drama, this is because I love Drama and I want to be an actor. I have also been part of a team to try and get rid of plastic in the School Canteen, so far we are extremely close to achieving our goal. Being part of the Community and Service Club has allowed me to help fundraise for different causes such as making Christmas hampers for Uniting Care West. I have also loved being part of the Dungeons and Dragons club. I have made new friends and met new people throughout Middle School while bonding over a fantasy game. My teachers this year have been the some of the best I have ever had. They tell lots of silly jokes and funny stories, but at the end of the day they helped us do all our work, which was almost always fun.”

Jack Douglas, Year 7.3 “Year 7 was a real standout. I have experienced and learned so many things. Throughout the year I had many highlights, such as the Inter-School Athletics Carnival, which for me was amazing. The atmosphere was outstanding, with Scotch also coming home with a win. Another highlight that stood out for me would be spreading out my friendships with new people. Overall, this year was an absolute blast for me, and I am ready and excited to start Year 8 next year.”

Louis Poulson, Year 7.3 “On my first day of Year 7, I was excited to meet new people. Even though I already had some friends from the previous year, 56 | Junior School

I still wanted to make more. I have had a great time this year with everyone new that I’ve met. My favourite highlights of this year had to be camp, sailing and PSA because they’re all my first time doing them, which makes them so much more thrilling. If you’re looking to join Scotch, you should look forward to these activities!”

Charles Major, Year 7.3 “Some things that have really stood out to me this year would be all the unique sporting opportunities that Scotch provides.

Over the course of the year, we have been able to experience many different sports.

I have been able to compete in swimming carnivals, Inter-School Athletics and the PSA Sport every Friday. Through these sporting opportunities the bonds with my classmates have strengthened, and I have met people from other schools. The sporting opportunities at Scotch have been a real highlight this year.”

George Stoney “Something that I really enjoyed this year is the concert for V1MAST. I enjoyed it because you got to do hands-on work with some of the top bands in Indonesia.”

Miles Gaspar, Year 7.3 “This year’s stand out for me was definitely drama and PSA. In Drama last year, our class was only doing short drama skits, which personally for me was not helping me improve my confidence and knowledge of Drama. This year my class studied melodrama, which is a simple storyline including a Villain, Damsel, Hero and Sidekick. We got in groups of four and created a whole entire script for each other, which we then would practise and learn by heart. After six weeks of creating and rehearsing, we performed our melodramas to the class and also one other class. This was very enjoyable for me, as I was able to figure out my best performing skills.

PSA was also a highlight, as it was great that we could play against other schools competitively. In Summer I played Cricket and in Winter I played footy. I preferred playing Cricket, as I feel as though I am better at Cricket, than I am at footy.

These are two major highlights of Year 7.”

Archie Gilchrist, Year 7.4 “I found that this year for me was settling into the way that Scotch works and enjoying all the fun activities I have access to at this school. I think that I was able to find new friends, as well as keeping my old ones from other schools. Some of my favourite things were camp and spending time with my friends down there, PSA and Lego Club, because I was able to do things I enjoy with others.”

Ned Fletcher-Harrison, Year 7.3

“In Year 7, some of the highlights have been Round Square, sport, camp, Inter-School and many more. This year has been great. I have met lots of new people and made lots of new friends. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year holds and what will come in Year 8.”

Jordan Krieser, Year 7.3 “In Year 7, some of my standout moments for the year were being a part of the InterSchool Athletic team from Year 7 to Year 12. Being the youngest in the team was very special as it feels like giants crowding around you in a big huddle, and winning the Athletics was the cherry on top.”

Ed Gilmour, Year 7.3 “Year 7 has been crazy - so much to do and take part in. Coming to Scotch with hundreds of kids, from a school with only 20 kids was really daunting, but Scotch has made the transition smooth and really welcomed me. I have enjoyed all the activities, such as the PSA. That was definitely the highlight of my year, bringing so many opportunities. Fun. Enjoyable.

Caring. Scotch.”

Oliver Wandell, Year 7.3 “Looking back on Year 7 I most enjoyed the PSA programme and getting the chance to compete in the Inter-School Athletics carnival in Winter Term. I have also met new people and made great new friends in class and out of class.”

Digby Gardener, Year 7.3 “Throughout this year, we didn’t just delve into new academic adventures, but also made lifelong memories. A highlight of this year was being in the Inter-school Swimming and Athletics team. Every day new friendships were born that I will carry throughout my life. The teachers who also supported us in training every day after school helped us build resilience and character.”

Hugo Silbert, Year 7.3 “This year has been amazing discovering new things about the School, meeting new people and teachers. The best things for me was getting involved in PSA sport and playing hard for the school, and making even more friends, which was even better. I also really enjoyed the Highland Games, getting my face painted and having fun with friends.”

Simba Gundani, Year 7.3 “I have enjoyed many things this year from camp to the Indonesian incursion, but the real highlight for me was the PSA Inter-School carnivals. At the Inter-School Swimming I swam 50m freestyle and butterfly, and I also swam in the 4x50m freestyle relay, which was a blast. I also ran at the Inter-School Athletics carnival, where I ran in the 1500m and the 800m. All in all, Year 7 was a great year.”

Tex Cross, Year 7.3

“In Year 7, some of the highlights have been Round Square, sport, camp, Inter‑School and many more. This year has been great.”

YEAR 8 Curriculum Year 8s have been very fortunate to have had a range of fascinating and engaging learning opportunities across all curriculum areas. A big emphasis on all of the units is the ability to be able to plan, monitor progress and self-regulate their learning.

In Individuals and Societies, students participated in a unit called Democracy in Action. Boys investigated the justice system as well as Australia’s secular system of government. They learnt how to participate in Australia’s democracy by contacting elected representatives, using lobby groups, social media and direct action. Students felt a sense of empowerment knowing that enacting social change can be achieved in a variety of ways.

In a rich and engaging English Curriculum, the students extended their analytical and creative writing techniques.

A particular highlight was the Comedy Unit, where boys examined an array of humorous devices and language including slapstick, homonyms, oronyms and portmanteaus. The boys then embedded comedic devices into original, creative works; the funnier, the better!

Mathematics engaged the boys with lots of exciting units, favourites being probability and linear functions.

Boys enjoyed opportunities to play maths games, participate in quizzes, and discover relationships between mathematics and the real world.

This year in Science, students had a wonderful time exploring intriguing topics including the workings of the human body and the mystery of chemical reactions.

They also participated in an engineering challenge which saw them planning and constructing a bridge prototype with the aim to hold 10kgs.

Events As leaders of the Middle School, the Year 8s had the opportunity to be involved in some pretty exciting events. This year we had a week of sensational Science, a day-in-the-life of a geographer in Fremantle, the Medieval Festival Museum, a social barn dance with PLC and MLC, a presentation from a Paralympian, and the Community Project Showcase.

This year saw some changes to the annual Medieval Festival, the unit finishing with the boys’ work being displayed in the Scotch Gallery, much like it would in a museum. Projects demonstrated a deep understanding of the period and the changes that occurred during that time.

Displays included models of medieval architecture, replica weaponry, dioramas of torture chambers and more.

To get out and about to learn more about our current physical environment and the challenges we may face in the future, the Year 8 cohort had a day out in Fremantle exploring the coastline and considering potential predicted impacts from multiple perspectives. It was great to be able to take learning outside of the classroom and a fun day was had by all.

National Science Week in the Middle School was once again a special event, the focus being on the three main Sciences: Chemistry, Physics and Biology.

Boys took part in demonstrations and experiments spread across the week.

The most heart-stopping of these was the explosive hydrogen Chemistry demonstrations conducted in the Year 8 corridor, with massive big flames threatening to set the ceiling on fire!

Henry Wanyoike is an athlete from Kenya.

One day, aged 21 years of age, he went to bed, suffered a stroke and woke up completely blind. He didn’t allow this to stop him though. Today, he is one of the world’s fastest runners. The boys were lucky to be treated to a visit by Henry and his running guide, and hear some important lessons on resilience and determination.

Now a signature Year 8 event, the Winter Term Community Project Showcase left us feeling warm fuzzies. For many boys this was the highlight of their year: completing a project of such a large scale and realising how good it makes you feel to serve others. Across the cohort, boys engaged with multiple external organisations, undertaking service action across diverse communities for over 2000 hours. The Showcase afternoon was again a highly successful and enjoyable event and the boys were clearly proud of themselves at the end of it.

Year 8s have been very fortunate to have had a range of fascinating and engaging learning opportunities across all curriculum areas.

Reflection

Year 8 students participated in a five day four night expedition to Moray this year. Students participated in Climbing, Abseiling, Hiking, Navigation and a Canoe expedition down the rapids of the Murray River. The programme was aimed at instilling leadership skills in the students and giving students a realistic chance to lead their peers in real-life scenarios.

The students certainly put their best foot forward and developed skills that will hold them in good stead for the future.

The Year 8 PSA Sports programme is always very busy for the students. The regular training and Friday fixtures and activities are a good way to end our week at school.

When asked to name their favourite part of Year 8, the most common response is Moray camp. One of the main reasons for this is the exposure to lots of new opportunities and skills from which they engage and learn. But upon questioning boys about their Year 8 experience, the same responses are given - they’ve learnt lots of new things, had the opportunity to make lots of new friends, and had lots of fun along the way. The one thing they all agree on is how fast the year has gone.

Once again, the Year 8 Residential Life students continued their journey along the Bibbulmun Track. The boys demonstrated high levels of organisation, commitment and resilience on both of their walks. They tackled one of the tougher sections of the track on their walks in Summer and Spring Term. The hills in between the Perth Discovery Centre and Dwellingup can test even the best of walkers; however, as the boys persevered, the steep terrain gave back to the group in the form of some amazing panoramic views. As they move into Year 9, the bonds continue to strengthen and the finish line in Albany continues to become closer.

The boys also took part in a Snorkelling day to develop their skills and comfort in an open ocean environment. These skills will be transferred and utilised in their Rottnest camp early next year.

Throughout the year, the students continued to compete in their chosen sports and showed excellent competitive spirit, organisation, sportsmanship and support for their peers.

Through hot days in Summer and wet and windy days in Winter, our boys continued to participate as best they could. This is an excellent thing to see when conditions are tough.

Throughout the year, the PSA Swimming and Athletics seasons also ran with many of the Middle School boys being involved in those squads. The culture we are creating in Swimming and Athletics is great to see; there are boys giving their best efforts which are being reflected in excellent results across the year. Finn Wright, the Under 14 PSA Swimming Age Group Champion and Lucas Woolf and Marco Ghiselli, Under 14 PSA Athletics Age Group Champions were three individual awards which reflect a great season in those sports.

A highlight from Year 8 Physical and Health Education this year was the creation and running of their own class sports competition, which involved fixturing, statistics and results tables, umpiring, coaching and equipment management. This develops students’ organisation and leadership in their chosen roles which are very valuable skills.

The philosophy behind the Middle Years is to offer boys opportunities and challenges to discover how to learn, how to manage themselves, and how to work with others.

Although, at times, managing their own timetables, getting to lessons on time and keeping track of homework and assessments was a challenge, boys have established solid groundwork for entry into the Senior School. By Spring Term, it is obvious to all that the boys are ready to move on to bigger things and open themselves to more experiences.

Each of the boys had occasion to be House Senior at some stage throughout the year. This was a great opportunity at taking on extra responsibility. It also gave them an insight into public speaking and the importance of being a role model for our younger students.

Another comment that is regularly made by the boys in their reflection of the year is how important their Middle School years have been in forming friendships.

Whether these be meeting new people or strengthening the friendships already in place, either way, the boys recognise that this is an important part of their journey and something that will potentially last a lifetime.

Each year, we see the Year 8s develop into young men who are ready to take on the challenges of the Senior School. We hope that they all leave Middle School with cherished memories of their time here with us.

Throughout the year, the students continued to compete in their chosen sports and showed excellent competitive spirit, organisation, sportsmanship and support for their peers.

HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL The breadth and depth of the opportunities offered in Senior School are significant and the way the students have embraced these has been outstanding.

Mr Peter Burt Head of Senior School

Whether in the academic domain, performing arts, service, sport, debating or other co-curricular pursuits, the range of activities and courses available to boys in the Senior School is significant and allows each student the opportunity to focus on his passion or try a new pursuit from a variety of areas.

The vertical structure of the House system further enhances these opportunities by providing a framework for senior boys to mentor those in Years 9 and 10, offering guidance and encouragement as they look to challenge themselves by stepping beyond their comfort zone. While the Leadership course allows the Year 11 boys to develop skills in this area, the Wellbeing programme undertaken by the Year 9 and 10 students with their House Head, challenges each student to embark on a journey of self-development and selfreflection about his own morals, values and purpose - about who he is and who he would like to be. Developing the life skills of each boy is a strong focus, as the College aims to provide an education for the ‘whole’ person.

Lifelong skills of servant leadership and service remains at the heart of our beliefs at Scotch College, illustrated by the ongoing relationship between our

70 | Senior School

Student Council and Year 12 Leaders with Maddington Primary School, benefitting the students of each school. Our Year 10 cohort continues to be involved in a wide variety of service activities on Friday afternoons and, in Summer Term, our participation in The World’s Greatest Shave with PLC saw over 100 students raise over $70,000, a phenomenal effort.

This year we were treated to two outstanding drama productions, The Government Inspector and ‘Teechers’.

These plays showcased some of the talent and passion of our students and provided many humorous moments.

Other incredible Performing Arts opportunities enjoyed by the students included the very successful Pipe Band tour to the Basel Tattoo in Switzerland, comprising 11 performances in nine days, and the Generations in Jazz tour to Mt Gambier. Boys who experienced each of these tours spoke not only about their own performances but importantly about watching and learning from others from around Australia and the world, and of their shared experiences as musicians.

This was also the case for the 40 Year 9 and 10 Enrichment students who had the opportunity to travel to Stanford University where they engaged in college level content and instructional style in classroom settings that fostered communication, innovation and creativity.

For a number of the Year 10 boys, this incredible opportunity was followed by Curtin University’s Innovative Scholars pilot programme, in which they tasted university life through the completion of a selection of units, a fantastic achievement for boys who have just started Year 11.

Academically, we have seen some outstanding results from the boys

across the three pathways of Vocational Education and Training, the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the Western Australian Certificate of Education. In terms of outstanding performances, I would like to acknowledge William Steinberg who attended the International Mathematical Olympiad in England, finishing as the highest placed Australian student and ranking 28th in the world, a truly remarkable result. Our students also experienced success in the World Scholar's Cup and the British Parliamentary Debating Competition.

Scotch College students won the Perth Philosothon for the fifth time in six years and went on to compete in the Australasian Philosothon in Canberra. Our students had work published in Primo Lux, the annual Western Australian Anthology of School Students Poetry, won prizes in the Australian Geography Competition and the Australian Mathematics Competition, and Daniel Wiese and Terry Zhou joined William Steinberg at the Australian Mathematics Olympiad. These are wonderful achievements and highlight that all students, regardless of their strengths or perceived weaknesses, have the opportunity to set their own goals and, with the support of their classroom teachers, House Heads and the Teaching and Learning team, work towards being the very best they can be in their chosen pathway.

In 2019, the boys again demonstrated great pride and passion when representing Scotch College in the sporting domain. The opportunities provided through involvement in the PSA programme are second-to-none and the boys learn to work as a team, overcome adversity and be humble in victory. This was certainly the case

We learned a great deal from this group of young men in 2019; their loyalty, passion, ability to stand up for what they believe in and the way in which they supported each other is a credit to them.

with the 1st V Basketball team. While winning the Blackwood Cup for the second consecutive year was certainly impressive and their level of play was unquestionable, it was the respect they demonstrated towards their opponents and for the game itself that was most pleasing. Our Sailing and Athletics teams also achieved memorable victories in their respective competitions and, while the sailing took place in the school holidays, the crews appreciated their passionate supporters, as did the team that competed at the PSA Inter-School Athletics Carnival. The spirit of everyone involved continued to be a highlight for those associated with the College.

An event of real significance for our Year 12 cohort was the Purple Socks sporting fixture, held at the start of Winter Term in memory of Mo Maslin. The event, driven

by Mo’s peers in recognition of their mate,

was a resounding success. We learned a great deal from this group of young men in 2019; their loyalty, passion, ability to stand up for what they believe in and the way in which they supported each other is a credit to them.

In choosing the theme ‘Embrace the challenge… together’, our Year 12 cohort not only set the tone for the year ahead, but lit the spark for boys in all areas of school life. Our character is often reflected in the manner in which we meet challenges, whether we shy away or accept them and put our best foot forward, despite the risk of judgement from others and our Year 12 Leavers have been wonderful in setting an example in this area. They have left their mark and have continued to foster the sense of belonging and community that are hallmarks of the College.

Congratulations to Harry Gilchrist, Captain of School and to our leadership group of Benji Steinberg, Head of Student Council, Blake Costello, Vice-Captain of School (Operations), Alex van Hoek, Vice-Captain of School (Service) and Denzil Brooks, Captain of Residential Life on the wonderful way they have led the school. Congratulations also to our House Captains and Year 12 Leaders who have made an outstanding contribution to the School and who have led with pride and enthusiasm. Thank you to our exceptional teaching, administration, facilities and support staff for their tireless efforts.

Their consistent support, guidance and commitment to the overall wellbeing of each of our students is what makes Scotch College such a great community.

ALEXANDER HOUSE Alexander House continues to build upon its House values, led by the Year 12s, in order to further develop and strengthen the House.

Oscar Grant Alexander House Captain

Each year the sense of family and camaraderie continues to build upon the levels that were reached in previous years, as a batch of fresh-faced Year 9s are inducted into the House, to get the grounding in the foundations of Respect, Integrity, Honesty and pursuit of Personal Best that Alexander House is built upon.

The Year 12 Alexander cohort at the beginning of the year agreed to continue the efforts that the previous leavers had sought to achieve. These aims based on increased participation from all boys, greater relationships among the year groups and furthering a commitment to the House. The Year 12 group collectively agreed that in order to make 2019 a successful year it would require all 19 Year 12 boys to be engaged and involved, and this was certainly the case throughout the year.

Our increased participation can be seen through the depth in all year groups with all boys getting involved in InterHouse competitions across the sporting and academic fields. The Year 12s who were assigned respective events did a tremendous job in order to ensure the smooth running as well as provide pivotal leadership for the younger boys. The

72 | Senior School

increased participation of boys within Alexander House was furthered with the introduction of more boys being active and speaking in House assembly. Boys across all year groups stood in front of the House and gave a short speech on their weekend activities or school camps they attended.

These lighthearted speeches provided some comedy and allowed for boys to gain confidence in speaking to large groups of people.

This year we aimed to enhance the relationship between the boys in their mentor groups. It was extremely pleasurable to see the growth between the boys, regardless of their year group, to be engaging in positive conversations with all boys in Alexander House, all around the School. These relationships flowed through to our Marching as a significant improvement was seen in this area as boys wanted to do their best for the House. Each week, led by Mr Knight, the boys remained committed to improving their standards that are built by the House.

I have been honoured and privileged to lead Alexander in 2019 in what has been an exceptional and thrilling year. We drew the Staff Trophy with Keys House and retained the trophy for the second year in a row. This was a massive reward for the effort, sacrifice and commitment

that each boy of the Alexander Rampant Lion and green shirt made. Our sense of shared values of support and kindness that we show to each other continues to be our greatest achievement.

To our Mentors Mr Jones, Mr Knight, Dr Papas, Mrs Shiel, Mrs Lee and Mr Watson, we thank you for your continual support, guidance and encouragement throughout the year. You have been terrific role models for all the Alexander boys and we greatly appreciate your efforts.

Mr Mumford, your caring and passionate nature has furthered Alexander House’s sense of community that has seen boys drive to achieve success. Your ability to support and gain respect from all boys within the House highlights your leadership and the positive environment that you promote. Your ability to rally the boys and continually encourage success and motivation was instrumental to our great successes of 2019.

I look forward to hearing about the future of Alexander House in the coming years and give my best wishes to the Year 12s of 2020 as they take up their final year at Scotch.

I have been honoured and privileged to lead Alexander in 2019 in what has been an exceptional and thrilling year. We drew the Staff Trophy with Keys House and retained the trophy for the second year in a row.

ANDERSON HOUSE Following a successful past few years in Anderson House, the 2019 Year 12 cohort gave everything they could to ensure this would continue.

Nathan Thomas Anderson House Capitan

The strength of the brotherhood within Anderson was demonstrated early in the academic year with success in Senior Basketball as well as Marching.

The pride the boys took in representing the Black Swan ensured that the best results in all areas were achieved. With this said, winning was not the significant motivator internally within the House, but rather having a good time with your mates and forming new relationships, all while representing the House.

At the beginning of 2019, we welcomed in a fresh cohort of Year 9s. The manner in which they seamlessly integrated into the House pays testament to the work of the Year 12s, as well as Ms Evans, in creating an inclusive and friendly environment. From the moment they entered the House, the 9s weren’t afraid to participate in a range of Staff Trophy activities, immediately being engulfed by the pride that comes with being an Anderson student.

The House experienced a range of success when it came to Staff Trophy activities throughout the year, with many solid placings across the board. The Anderson Junior Theatre Sports team secured the House’s first win of the year,

with a dominant all-round display of acting. The Anderson Volleyball team lived up to the hype, going through the competition undefeated and securing the second win of the year for the House. We also experienced solid placings in both Junior and Senior Indoor Soccer, proving crucial to Anderson’s overall placing in the Staff Trophy. I must give personal thanks to Luke Smith for his efforts as Operations Captain and organising all of these events.

The House struggled to place well in events that were worth a large number of points, with low placings in Swimming, Athletics, Cross-Country and House Singing. I commend the boys on their attitudes as these results can be demotivating, however the House managed to maintain the infectious culture that had previously led to so much success. This was evident during the Athletics Carnival, with boys from all year groups encouraging each other to perform to their highest capabilities.

Service is a huge part of Anderson House, with a large number of events being held throughout the year. Service Captain, Josh Kerrich, did an amazing job in ensuring all of these events ran smoothly and I cannot thank him enough for the help he provided me this year. Anderson facilitated the creation of Christmas hampers to help those less fortunate. We

also worked alongside the Friends of Lake Claremont to ensure the Lake remains pristine and clear of pollution. Anderson continued the tradition of raising money for SIDS, with each boy in the House Marching with a red nose. Lastly, the annual Brisbane vs Anderson Wheelchair Basketball game was held to raise money for Rebound WA. Both Houses made a significant effort to raise the profile of this fundraiser, and I believe it was successful.

I must say a personal thank you to all the boys in Anderson. I have had a blast this year and hope that all of you had a similar experience. Each and every boy showed commitment, perseverance and teamwork at some point throughout the year. These attitudes are crucial in creating a strong culture within the House that I’m sure will continue for years to come.

I must say a personal thank you to the rest of my Year 12s. Your support, whether or not you had a leadership position, was what made this year possible. We leave the House as much better men than when we joined it. I must also thank Ms Evans for making my job so much easier. The amount of work you put in to ensure the smooth running of the House, as well as the happiness of each boy, does not go unnoticed. Lastly, I want to wish Riley Waters all the best next year with such a great group of boys.

The pride the boys took in representing the Black Swan ensured that the best results in all areas were achieved.

BRISBANE HOUSE Holistically, Brisbane House had a successful 2019, where Brisbane’s core values of respect, kindness, personal excellence, to name a few, were entrenched in all that we did.

Gyles Davies Brisbane House Captain

Outstanding participation, camaraderie and endeavour from every boy was evidence of the strong and unique House spirit on which Brisbane prides itself.

Each boy was devoted to the collective approach of supporting and encouraging fellow House members while striving for personal best.

One of the primary focuses in Brisbane House was building stronger relationships between Senior and Junior year groups.

A vital component was the commitment within the House where Senior boys were actively nurturing and including the younger students. This created conversations between Junior and Senior boys, often outside of the designated House periods and rather at recess and lunch.

As House Captain, I sought to promote and harness a culture of involvement from all Brisbane boys. Countless opportunities exist within the House, whether it is a Staff Trophy event or service activity, opportunities were endless.

The breadth and diversity of skills ensured Brisbane’s competitiveness in all InterHouse events. The character and grit

78 | Senior School

which Brisbane possessed throughout 2019 was demonstrated during the first major Inter-House event of the year, the Swimming Carnival. Traditionally Brisbane is not particularly strong at swimming, yet finishing 5th was an outstanding result.

House Singing was another area with which Brisbane had traditionally struggled. To counteract this, every tutor group was given the opportunity to collectively select a song and then perform.

Brisbane’s commitment to service projects was bolstered, making lunches for Maddington Primary School and planting trees in collaboration with the Friends of Mosman Park Association. This presented great opportunities for boys to collaborate and work together. We also had numerous internal fund-raising events, such as shoe polishing, with the objective of raising funds for those impacted by the deadly Indonesian earthquake.

As the year unfolded, we maintained high placings in Inter-House events including Debating, It’s Academic, Chess and Volleyball.

Athletics and Cross Country were two other opportunities for personal excellence and our House pride was on display.

For some boys, these activities put them

outside their comfort zone, yet it was impressive to see boys stepping up.

The Brisbane House BBQ was an immense success and an important part of the year in furthering the unique Brisbane spirit and culture. This relaxed social occasion for the Brisbane boys and their families reinforces what it means to be a member of the Brisbane House community.

Marching has traditionally been one of our greatest strengths. A massive thank you to all the boys for the commitment and attitude finishing first in both semesters.

On behalf of Brisbane House, I would like to say a huge thank you to Miss Webster-Blythe for her support and guidance. Miss Webster-Blythe is extremely approachable and an outstanding House Head and role model.

It has been an honour to lead Brisbane House. To each and every member of Brisbane House, and it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and I thank you for your dedication. I wish every member the very best in their individual pursuits in the future and request you continue to exemplify the core values in everything that you do and uphold the proud traditions and culture of Brisbane House.

Countless opportunities exist within the House, whether it is a Staff Trophy event or service activity, opportunities for boys to get involved are endless.

CAMERON HOUSE It has been an honour to be involved in the growth of Cameron House through 2019 and be a part of the ‘Thistle’ community.

Lachlan Malloch Cameron House Captain

2018 was a fruitful year for us and we were keen to progress and sustain this success in 2019. To our delight, in the House Rowing Regatta we were able to field an eight on the water and placed third in this annual event. This momentum and excitement continued as we started to see results in Marching improve as we focused on cohesion in that first step off the mark.

The annual Cameron House Fundraiser saw a very competitive Round Robin Soccer match at the Gooch Pavilion, against PLC. As well as providing entertainment with the dress ups of the day, all profits of the event was donated to the Kai Eardly Fund.

We were proud to assist this local charity in its work in suicide prevention and mental illness in young Perth men. A representative from the Kai Eardly Fund came and spoke to everyone, which was a memorable occasion.

Our focus was on participation and improving our involvement from previous years. It was all hands on deck and we headed straight into the Swimming Carnival. Our fantastic performances from the Year 11/12 Soccer team were backed up by a strong Debating team.

This significantly boosted the confidence of not only the young men who competed, but the whole House’s morale. This was also visible with a large improvement in Marching. As the year moved along and we received targeted feedback, we saw more consistent high placings and even a won once or twice.

Another goal was to improve the overall participation of students in Inter-House activities, such as Theatre Sports and Debating. This involvement has significantly improved, with large amounts of interest in Inter-House activities. This saw us celebrating and looking beyond wins to the effort presented.

In 2019 House Singing, we performed ‘You’re the Voice’ by John Farnham. With Terry Zhou on the piano as well as Lee Youngman and Julien Montandon taking on solo singing positions, Cameron House had a point of differentiation. This set the House with an impressive performance that boys were proud to be a part of.

Coming to the end of the year, the Athletics Carnival rolled around. This saw impressive performances from the young men across all cohorts. Cameron was at an impressive second place for some time during the carnival. The Year 11 group had impressive representation and displays in short distance events whilst maintaining high standards of discipline and humility.

The success of Cameron House has not been made through an individual. It has been a House effort and a true testament to all the boys I have had the pleasure of working with.

Special thank you to the mentors: Dr Weeda, Mr Kelly, Mr Quinlivan, Pak Wilfred and Pak Johnno. Your continued support and guidance given to each member of the House is very much appreciated by everyone.

Thank you to Mrs Muni for her support and guidance throughout 2017-2018. Finally, this would not have been the same memorable year it has been without Mr Duncan, who stepped in for Mrs Muni. Mr Duncan has been a significant role model throughout, not only for my journey, but that of my fellow Cameron men in 2019. We all value the guidance you have given us and the lessons you have taught us that will be used by us through various stages of life.

It has been an honour serving as the Cameron House Captain for 2019 and I look forward to hearing of the success of Cameron House in 2020 and years beyond.

FERGUSON HOUSE Despite finishing an ordinary 8th in the Staff Trophy this year, the Fergy boys flourished in various areas throughout 2019 and must be commended for their spirit and camaraderie.

Finn Liston Ferguson House Captain

It was terrific to see we were able to break our mediocre Marching stereotype and secure two wins that ended our three-year winless drought. It was also great to see the impact that a couple of Marching wins had on the spirit of the boys. With House pride being an instrumental foundation to Ferguson’s structure, it was wonderful to see it grow throughout the year. 2019 saw Ferguson place respectfully in a number of academic and sporting competitions in both the Junior and Senior fields.

Ferguson boys showcased their skills in the pool throughout the Water Polo competition and the Swimming Carnival.

Whilst we may have received average results in such fields, it was clear that Ferguson has some exceptional swimmers and I have no doubt that Fergy will be a force to be reckoned with in future years.

Whilst this year’s debating competition may not have lived up to our previous Debating success, it revealed a level of maturity and expertise in a number of the Junior and Senior boys who came up with stellar arguments despite being dragged into debates at the very last minute.

84 | Senior School

It was excellent to see Ferguson as one of the most dominating houses in the Athletics Carnival this year. It was particularly great to see the boys’ maturity throughout the day, with many boys filling in for events last minute with no questions asked. In this year’s Chess season, the Senior Fergy boys once again lived up to our exceptional standards by taking out the competition. In the Junior years, it was great to see some Chess newbies entertained, many of them surprising themselves with astonishing results.

Another highlight was the ‘It’s Academic’ team who also failed to disappoint, making it into the finals and overall placing a commendable third place.

I’ve been privileged to share my Ferguson experience alongside an amazing group of 19 boys who made my final school year a blessing. I’ve enjoyed every minute of working with you all, and I believe that we’ve managed to form what I hope to be lifelong friendships. I can’t thank you all enough for the outstanding support that you’ve given me, which has helped make this year truly unforgettable and I wish you all the best of luck with your future endeavours.

On behalf of the Fergy boys, a special thank you must go out to all of the mentors: Mrs Reyhani, Mr Jahn, Mrs de Vorms Shaw,

Mr Mclean and Mr Neave. Thank you for guaranteeing that the start of our day was never tiresome and for being fun, approachable and caring mentors.

To the upcoming Year 12 Falcons, I wish you all the very best for 2020 and beyond.

You are all extremely proficient team players and I know that your capabilities for the year are endless. To the rest of the House, it has been a pleasure getting to know you all and I hope to see you all sometime in the near future. It will only be a matter of time before you’ll be leaving this great school, so all I ask is you make the most of every opportunity that comes your way and have fun whilst doing so.

Finally, the sincerest of thanks must go out to Mr Foster for his humorous and caring nature and impeccable engagement with the boys. Unfortunately, words cannot describe the level of respect and admiration that I have towards him as a mentor. Congratulations on seeing through your first group of Fergy boys from Year 9 to Year 12. It has been an incredible journey for us all and we are so appreciative of your hard work and support throughout our Senior years.

With House pride being an instrumental foundation to Ferguson’s structure, it was wonderful to see it grow throughout the year.

KEYS HOUSE This year proved to be an outstanding year for Keys House.

Benjamin Parker Keys House Captain

The entire House was willing to get involved, and this is what saw us achieve success right across the board. Within the House, the boys were assigned mentor groups where they spent 20 minutes a few mornings a week. Activities such as card games, developing Spotify lists with the groups, music preferences and general chat created a more united House across all year groups.

We also held an inter-mentor tug of war competition, logo designing competition, which everyone embraced, along with a few sessions of dodgeball in the gym.

The Inter-House events carried out each term became a focus for Keys House this year, not only to achieve success, but to also get as many boys involved as possible while providing a leadership opportunity for the majority of the Year 12s. After a slow start to the year that saw Keys placed ninth in the Staff Trophy in May, the boys came flying home with second places in Volleyball, Junior Basketball and House Singing just to name a few. Our ViceCaptain of Operations, Charlie Wackett, demonstrated exceptional organisational skills throughout the year, ensuring that we had a team for each event well in advance. At the end of the year, to win the Staff Trophy with Alexander House was an incredible highlight to top off a great year. It is a testament to the efforts of every Keys boy. Their input, support of

events and desire to be involved was well orchestrated by the Year 12 group who managed their respective events.

The Swimming Carnival is not usually a strength for Keys House and quite frankly, nothing really changed this year. We placed eighth overall; a rather mediocre result. However, the strength of the Keys House spirit is what I took away from the carnival. We pride ourselves on being the loudest House, even though winning races came few and far between. All the boys joined in the chants, and we generated an awesome atmosphere to be a part of.

Winning Cross Country this year shocked a lot of people, including ourselves. After a poor effort last year with the House ending up in ninth position, the boys gave their all whether they enjoyed the event or not, to make sure that we moved up the rankings. With Josh Keatch placing second in the Year 11 race, Harry Gilchrist coming third in the Year 12 race and several Year 10s placing in the top 10, including Jarvis Banfield, Hugh Mitchell and Hunter Bergersen, the House managed to claim first position overall. It was fabulous to watch the younger boys give 100 percent on behalf of the House no matter what position they were coming in.

The Athletics Carnival once again proved to be a strength for Keys House, with second place being an outstanding achievement. Throughout the day, several injuries and sicknesses saw the event schedule shaken up dramatically.

However, boys from all year groups showed great House spirit by stepping in

for an additional event, even if the event was out of their comfort zone. The Year 12 boys once again fulfilled the tradition of winning the tug of war, going undefeated from start to finish. This win, along with a win in Marching on the day and the second place overall, was a great way to finish the last major event of the year.

Throughout the year, due to efforts of our Vice-Captain of Service, Fraser Goode, Keys managed to run several appeals, where boys brought in the desired items to be donated to those in need. An example of this included a pasta and pasta sauce drive, in which we filled several boxes for the Salvation Army.

Additionally, Will Coutts, our Student Council Representative, advertised the School Council events to the House very well, and collected gold coin donations made by boys throughout the year.

Overall, I’d personally like to thank Mrs Lilford along with all the mentors for making the year run so smoothly and assisting the House in achieving great success.

The entire House was willing to get involved, and this is what saw us achieve success right across the board.

ROSS HOUSE Ross House thrived in 2019, going beyond our comfort zones and giving everything our best shot.

Harry Imison Ross House Captain

The year started with a bang as all the Year 12s seamlessly adjusted to their new leadership roles in the House managing various portfolios for different House events. The boys’ enthusiasm in the organisation of House events was contagious and this saw participation rates at an all-time high for Water Polo, Senior Basketball and Senior Debating.

Our Year 11 boys also stepped up to the plate as they organised a successful International Culinary Day making some classic Turkish cuisine as part of their leadership programme.

Positive energy resonated within the House and within no time we welcomed an eager group of Year 9 boys who stepped up to the frantic schedule of Senior School. In Summer Term we continued the annual tradition of the Ross House Swimathon. This year we continued our support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Thanks to the organisation skills of Ms Gooding and Vice-Captain of Service Lincoln Allan’s ongoing communication with the Foundation, the event was a huge success and we managed to raise a ripe sum of $2815. We were then lucky enough to be visited by the head of the WA branch of the Foundation who gave the boys a moving speech about the impact our

90 | Senior School

donations will have on the lives of cancer patients and their families.

The Swimming Carnival was another major event of the term. The boys’ passion and pride was on display all day, however, we were left in great suspense until assembly that week due to a software malfunction stopping the final standings of the carnival being processed.

Unfortunately, the Friday assembly informed us of a heartbreaking second place finish and as a result, we didn’t maintain the Swimming trophy. Although, the boys really highlighted the passion they have for the House.

A lot of hard work went on behind the scenes in Autumn Term for the annual House Choir, coming with the theme of Australian Classics. The cohort decided on Midnight Oil’s hit song “Beds Are Burning.”

Mr Sterrett was once again phenomenal in his organisation of the Ross House band, combined with the leadership of Harry Pasich. These boys sacrificed many break times to prepare for the piece and their spectacular efforts did not go unnoticed. With his background in singing, Will Smith-Gander was able to bring in harmonies that were instrumental in refining the boys’ passionate shouting to passionate singing. While I do not think the strength of a House is reflected by results, I believe the boys’ ability to go outside of their comfort zones and give their all was the reason we were able to be awarded first place.

Into a busy Winter Term our House Head, Miss Gooding, earned a very well deserved long service break and Ross welcomed Mr Creighton as our Acting House Head. With the incredible organisational infrastructure Miss Gooding put in place and Mr Creighton’s amazing energy we continued to thrive and had a lot of fun along the way.

Mr Creighton’s skills in coaching were seen immediately as Ross House saw a dramatic improvement in our Marching.

On a personal note, I would like to say thank you to a few groups: to the Year 9, 10 and 11 boys, I want to thank you for the energy and charisma you all brought to the House; I know all the Year 12 boys loved getting to know you. To the mentors I would like to say thank you for being role models to the boys and an outlet to talk to in the good times and the bad; I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all. To Miss Gooding and Mr Creighton, I can’t thank you enough for your organisation and mentorship over the past year. I have had an absolute blast. Finally, to my peers in Year 12, thank you for being such a fantastic group – it was your commitment to the House, even while busy with your studies, that helped make the last four years so special.

The boys’ enthusiasm in the organisation of House events was contagious and this saw participation rates at an all-time high…

ST ANDREWS HOUSE St. Andrews has had a pretty good past couple of years.

Thomas Hodge St Andrews Captain

Taking the baton from the strong leadership of Callum Jacobsen (2017) and Harry Foley (2018), the House was well poised for another strong year of success in the Inter-House competitions.

Effort, and participation from every boy built a strong House, and were our focus for the year. As Mr Doney says, the more every boy gives to the House, the more each boy will get out of the experience.

From shy Year 9s to the older Year 12s, I believe every boy in this House gave something, and that was, for me, what made this year so great.

Seventeen fresh Year 9 faces entered the House room in Summer Term, and although I’m not sure they quite knew what was coming for them, the boys eagerly embraced the year’s first challenge of House Marching. This area has been a sore point for the House in previous years, so it was fantastic for this cohort to show such enthusiasm, and actively seeking out advice to improve, in both Wednesday practices and exclusive before school sessions. Credit goes to the boys in the House for welcoming and engaging the year 9s with open arms.

This eagerness set a precedent for the rest of the year to come, as our early Marching successes carried over to the

Inter-House Swimming. Aided by fierce chanting on all sides of the pool, the slightly unconventional whole-House stretch circle, or Mr Doney’s simple-buteffective fire up speech, the scene was set for a special outing by the St Andrews team. Every boy in the House put in fantastic efforts, and we kept St Andrew’s dominant form at the event alive with another victory.

This bright start carried through the rest of the year, as we won multiple InterHouse events, and placed strongly in the centre piece Cross Country and Athletics carnivals. By putting in efforts as a House, together, we were able to finish a credible third place in the Staff Trophy, but the giving didn’t stop here.

St Andrews ran a number of service events through the year. In Spring Term, Mr Doney’s office was completely full of toy trucks, drawing kits, and Lego blocks for the Christmas Appeal, which St Andrews contributed to more than any other House. In Autumn Term, we ran the “Mr Doney’s Fun Run”, a 10km run around Lake Claremont to raise funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation, which helps restore sight to blind people through simple procedures.

As many of the outgoing St Andrews Year 12s agreed, it’s been an exhausting, but great year, helped massively by the positive House spirit and relationships

between the boys of the House. We’ll miss St Andrews, and are grateful to all the boys who’ve been along with us on the ride. We thank the tutors: Mr Creighton, Mr Gabriels, Dr Warrington, Mr Burke, and Ms Spanbroek, for their contributions to the House atmosphere through tutor periods, marching, singing, and pastoral care.

And perhaps most significantly, we want to say a massive thank you on behalf of the entire House to our legendary House Head, Mr Doney. You’ll find him in the gym in the morning, and the ovals in the afternoon, and teaching between that. He gives so much to this House, and College, and is such an intelligent, humble, and caring man, he’s a cut above the rest, “no bulldust”! Mr Doney shows the way forward in his actions, not just his words, and I believe that it is mainly he, with his kind hand, and fierce spirit, who has shaped St Andrews into the glorious House it is today.

To the incoming Year 12 House cohort, good luck, you’ve got a lot ahead of you.

As the baton passes on, I ask you to lead the House together, fight hard for the big events (especially Senior Indoor Soccer), and most importantly, enjoy the year; it goes quicker than you’d ever imagine.

As Mr Doney says, the more every boy gives to the House, the more each boy will get out of the experience.

SHEARER HOUSE With the much anticipated return of our former House Head, Mr Galipo, the boys in Shearer House prepared for another year of commitment and dedication in an attempt to bring the Staff Trophy to where it belongs.

Mason Jongejan Captain of Shearer

Seeing as we came a disappointing 10th place in the Staff Trophy last year, the boys were eager to ‘embrace the challenge, together’, as encouraged by the 2019 School theme.

The year started with some promising results, placing second in the Senior Theatre Sports competition and third in Water Polo. Despite some recurring issues with Marching throughout the year, it was evident that the boys in Shearer House were committed to improving from last year’s results, which quickly inspired and encouraged the new Year 9s who participated in as many Inter-House events as possible.

The Year 12s sought to further enhance the House Spirit by creating valuable relationships with the boys in the younger years and making every boy feel comfortable within the House.

The support provided by the entire Year 12 group set a prime example for the younger years, as they embark on their Senior School journey, and has encouraged every individual in the House to participate to the best of their ability.

Our focus this year was to gradually improve placings on the Staff Trophy by 96 | Senior School

increasing student participation, and we did. Moving up to 6th on the Staff Trophy, an improvement of 4 places, every boy in the House should be proud of their achievements.

Other highlights this year include coming third in Volleyball, third in Junior Indoor Soccer, third in House Choir and fourth in the always competitive Swimming Carnival, with credit to Callum Griffiths, Co-Captain of Swimming. We were extremely lucky to have a wide range of talent within the House, providing an opportunity for Year 12s to demonstrate leadership in organisation and communication.

The improvements are a testament to the continuous dedication of the group I was fortunate enough to work with this year, along with the everlasting support of the staff working closely with the boys in Shearer House. However, despite the accomplishments within the Staff Trophy, our true achievements were the increased strength of the Shearer House community, the respect, support and kindness shown by the boys, and the values that we shared, which will continue to grow over the upcoming years.

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to our tutors: Mrs Baker, Ms Beckett, Mrs Bloodworth, Mr Kandiah, Mr Reberger, and Mr Wisniewski. Your continual

support and understanding has been a great benefit to the boys and I know they thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you. To Mr Galipo, the boys couldn’t have wished for a better House Head and I strongly believe that your presence within the House has made every boy’s journey through the Senior School a lot more enjoyable. Your consideration of every boy’s different background and thoughts is an integral measure leading to the Shearer House Spirit being as strong as it is. All teachers involved have acted as mentors and role models, something the boys will look up to and remember throughout their journey into adulthood.

So, thank you.

Within Shearer House, demonstrating a high level of commitment, effort and participation is more important than achievement. Witnessing the manner in which the boys applied themselves to the House and endeavoured each challenge, I could not be prouder of our achievements this year. I am proud to have been a part of Shearer House, and I look forward to hearing about Shearer’s future success. My best wishes go out to the new Year 12 boys as they embark on their last year at Scotch College, and I have no doubt that they’ll continue to raise the bar and leave a legacy for the younger years.

This year, the Year 12s sought to further enhance the House Spirit by creating valuable relationships with the boys in the younger years and making every boy feel comfortable and significant within the House.

STUART HOUSE As the leaving Stags separated from the herd on Memorial Ground in October 2018, Stuart House farewelled an excellent year group with the outstanding leadership of Adam Brenz Verca.

Benjamin Lilburne Stuart House Captain

Whilst March Out was a moment of reflection and sadness for our community, it represented a new beginning not only for Stuart but also the leaving year group. In honour of the young men who preceded us, the new Year 12s started the new year with energy and excitement, ready to leave their mark on the House.

Over the year, Stuart House was a fierce competitor in all the Staff Trophy events, reflecting the deep-rooted sense of mateship and tradition within our community. Beginning in Summer Term, the House experienced the ultimate success within the Inter-House Water Polo competition, winning the event in a tense grand final with Ross House. Another highlight was the Year 10s victory in the Inter-House It’s Academic competition, as well as our all-round effort in the Athletics Carnival, achieving our goal of beating our red tie brethren, Brisbane House.

Whilst our Staff Trophy successes were limited throughout the year, the boys embodied the School theme of ‘Embrace the challenge, Together.’ This theme shone through for Stuart during the Inter-House Singing competition. With the theme of Australian classics, the House pursued the song ‘Que Sera’ by Justice Crew, with

all the boys putting in a great deal of effort over Winter Term. This work showed in our final performance with Stuart enjoying themselves on stage as well as entertaining the other Houses. Despite coming fifth, it was a success for Stuart in the way we overcame our challenges and came together as a community.

This year was defined by the building upon the traditions of Stuart House, imbuing our community with a sense of vigour and innovation. Created by Conor Enslin and Adam Brenz Verca last year, the Andrews Shield, a competition between Mentor Groups, continued to be a focal point for 2019. Run by Joshua Ziepe, Vice-Captain of Operations, these events, including events such as dodgeball, tug of war and Connect Four, became a more regular occurrence for Stuart. By the end of the year, Mrs Scaife’s Mentor Group won the Shield, with this competition playing an essential part in forging bonds between year groups.

In the area of Service, Stuart House added the Fair Game initiative as a focal point to Scotch College’s engagement with the wider community. As part of this initiative, Charlie Thomas, Stuart’s Vice-Captain of Service, ran a Basketball tournament in Winter Term and organised the collection of old sporting goods.

These events helped to raise money and equipment for Fair Game, who give remote Indigenous communities access to

sports. The Fair Game initiative is a major legacy of Stuart for 2019 and we hope it continues in the future as an essential part of Scotch’s community outreach programmes.

Stuart House has grown over 2019, with old traditions continued and new ones created. These successes, however, are a large part due to the work of House Mentor teachers, Mr Guard and the leaving cohort of Year 12s. These people have been vital for the continued growth of Stuart and should be commended for the time and effort they have offered to our community. Whilst it is with much sadness we leave Stuart House, it is with pride we hand over our legacy and our community to Damian Haynes and the next group of Year 12s.

This year was defined by the building upon the traditions of Stuart House, imbuing our community with a sense of vigour and innovation.

DIRECTOR OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE 2019 again proved to be a very busy year for all involved within the Residential Community and as usual there was far too much happening to be captured in this annual report.

Mr Marcus Wilkinson Director of Residential Life

The year started over Christmas with the facilities completing some changes to the Year 7 House. A simple extension to join the original House with the recreation room made a greater than expected impact. Suddenly, the area became a more flexible and comfortable space and provided the House with a distinct entry.

We have a few more plans in place and hope to see them completed over the coming years.

We welcomed four new Gap Students into the Residential Community this year.

Liam Morkel and Stuart Judge lived within the Year 7/8 House, while David Stone and Ryan Hunter moved into the Year 9 flat that is connected to the Year 9 House. These boys not only helped out in the Boarding House but also contributed strongly to the everyday operations of the Sport and Physical Education Departments.

As per usual the year started with the Year 7 and 8 Orientation weekend and this again provided a wonderful opportunity for our 18 new Year 7 and 8 students and their families a chance to settle and familiarise themselves with their new environment.

The boys all settled quickly into the year and it wasn’t long before the Year 12s were preparing for their ball. Our preball function was once again held at The Cottesloe Civic Centre and this is a great place for the boys, families and partners to gather for some drinks, nibbles and photos. Quickly following this event was the last leg of the Bib Track for the boys who still remained on the track. Their walk finished in Albany on the Saturday of the long weekend and it was another fantastic opportunity for the boys, their families and staff to celebrate the completion of the 1000km journey. This year we welcomed the 150th ‘End to Ender’ into Albany and this caused an added bit of rivalry when the boys all walked through the finish arch as they jockeyed to see who could be ‘Mr 150’!

Immediately after the Year 12s completed their Bib Track journey, the rest of the year groups quickly followed with them venturing out to complete their respective sections. The Bib Track programme still remains an integral part of our programme as it reinforces our messages of resilience, teamwork and respect in an environment that certainly challenges each of them, as well as the staff who join them.

The highlight of Summer Term was undoubtedly the Boarding Parent ‘Progressive Dinner’. This year we decided that the event would have three venues with each venue hosting a different part of the meal. The night was very well attended by both parents and staff and started with canapes in the newly refurbished Chapel, then entrée in the Middle School grassed area and concluded with the main and dessert in the Dining Hall. It was a very successful

event and we encourage all Boarding families to lock next year’s date into their calendars and make it a priority to attend.

Throughout the last few years, we have been working on ways that we can connect more with our regional families and this year saw us visiting more regions and hosting different types of functions.

This year we have been in Exmouth, Carnarvon, Katanning, Moora, Albany, Beaufort River, Geraldton and Mingenew.

It has been a busy year, but we recognise that it this important for us to maintain our presence within the regions.

Our Wellbeing programmes continue to develop as we aim to align ourselves further with the themes that are occurring within the day schools. Our aims are not to repeat what opportunities the boys have been involved with but more to build on their learning and provide other activities that can assist the boys in further enhancing their ability to look after their mental wellbeing.

The Tomorrow Man programme continued with the Year 10s as they participated in five two-hour sessions, that challenged the boy’s views of masculinity and encouraged them to discover who they really were and what this meant in regard to their role as a male within our modern society. It was a fantastic programme for our boys to be involved in and one that we feel certainly strengthened the bonds between the boys in this year group. The Year 11s took part in Royal Perth Hospital’s PARTY (Prevent Alcohol and Road Trauma in Youth) Programme, and for the first time our Year 12s participated in Constable Care’s City After Dark programme.

Our recreation programmes were again in full swing and the connections that we have with the other local Boarding Schools ensure that there are a lot of activities for our boys to partake in. The trips to watch the Fremantle Dockers play every second weekend were well attended and the boys enjoyed the chance to get to the new stadium. Our on-call Boarding staff also made sure that the boys were able to make use of the beach during Summer by scheduling a number of bus runs, and if the weather meant that the beach was out of action, then a trip on the train to either Fremantle or the City meant that there was always something happening to keep the boys busy.

Our departing Year 12s had a fantastic year both from a residential point of view and from an academic perspective. The boys engaged positively with all staff and students across the year groups and provided sound role modelling for the rest of the boys within the Residential Community. They worked hard to further develop the Highlander concept, and many committed to spending time with the Year 7 and 8 boys by attending their weekly barbecues or offering their support at prep time through reading and/or assisting with homework. These actions were certainly welcomed and appreciated by all the staff both in the Year 7/8 House as well as by Ashley Keatch, their Head of Year.

The highlight of the year was Agricultural Day. There was an extra emphasis placed on this day by the Year 12s, as for the first

104 | Residential Life

time we had tractors on display, a petting zoo and the Royal Flying Doctors bought along one of their simulator planes. The day was designed to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctors, and we were very pleased to be able to hand over a cheque for over $1800.

We were able to maintain our tutoring resources again for 2019 with the boys having up to three or four tutors in every house from Monday to Thursday. We believe that the tutors are having a significant impact on our boys’ academic performance and we look to continue to build on this programme over the next couple of years.

The SPIRIT Award celebrated 11 years this year, and the worthy winner was Toby Egerton-Warburton. Toby always displayed a positive attitude, and although not part of the Boarding Student Leadership Team, he was always around to assist the leaders and developed a very good rapport with all the staff and students within all of the year groups.

Toby had a fantastic sense of humour that certainly kept us amused throughout the year. We thank Daisy Higham for joining us at dinner and presenting the award again this year.

A big thank you to our Captain of Residential Life, Denzil Brooks, who along with the Boarders’ Council and other Senior boys worked to provide opportunities for our community to connect and work together.

To our Residential Heads of Years, House Mothers, Resident Mentors, Tutors,

Catering, Health Centre, Laundry and Facilities teams, as well as all those others who support us, thank you so much for your commitment, dedication and passion you show for the boys. It means so much to them and their families.

With a few changes in store for next year, we wish Scott Siekierka all the very best as he leaves us for a Sydney adventure. He has left a mark on our community and his positivity, creativity and care for the boys will be missed.

To all our parents and guardians, thank you for trusting us with the care of your sons and for supporting us throughout the year. Finally, to our boys who are leaving us, we wish you every happiness and please remember you are welcome back at any time. To those who are returning to us next year, we hope you enjoy your break and we look forward to seeing all your smiling faces again very soon!

Throughout the last few years, we have been working on ways that we can connect more with our regional families, and this year saw us visiting more regions and hosting different types of functions.

CAPTAIN OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE 2019 has marked the first year where every Boarder from Year 9 to 12 has been spread across the 10 Houses in Senior School, rather than all of the Boarders being in Keys House.

Denzil Brooks Captain of Residential Life

This has allowed for boys in Boarding to build strong friendships with day boys, giving the boys that don’t live in the Boarding House an insight into what it’s like to live away from home for such a long period of time. This change has also given Boarders the experience of a life outside of the Boarding House on weekends or even long weekends.

The main point of focus for the leaders of Residential Life this year was building a stronger bond between the younger and older years of the Boarding House. What we thought was going to be difficult at the start of the year ended up being quite easy with the buy-in from the rest of the Year 12s early on in 2019. By the end of the Autumn Term, the majority of the Year 12s were able to name every boy living in the two Junior Houses. With fortnightly barbecues occurring on Tuesdays and games and activities on the weekends, it was evident that the younger boarders were more comfortable in and around the older Year 12s.

We had quite a number of social events this year which have been held at different schools. Scotch hosted two events this year, one being the Year 11-12 Social and the other being the Boarders’ Ball, which we organised with the Year 12 boarders from PLC. The Social was a time where students from boarding schools all across Perth were able to come and let their hair down and blow off a bit of steam. It was a great chance to catch up with mates from different schools.

Our Boarders’ Ball was organised with PLC. Over two dinners at Chelsea’s Pizza, we organised an event that had just over 200 people attend. All the boarders in Years 11 and 12 from PLC and Scotch were able to invite another person who was not a boarder. It was a chance to meet new faces and hang out with good mates as well.

Like previous years, the Residential Life community raised money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service. This year we raised $3,000 for the RFDS. The famous Agricultural Day, which the Boarding House puts on for the rest of the school, was better than ever. With limited space on the top oval due to the construction, the day was moved down to the Big

House. With a display of farm machinery, farm utes, a petting zoo, grain samples, three rotisserie sheep and some of the best milk from the South West, it was a great day had by all.

All the money raised will be used to improve medical assistance in regional parts of Australia where there isn’t immediate access to doctors and nurses.

The year wrapped up with our end of year dinner at the Freshwater Bay Yacht Club.

It was a great night with the boys sharing stories of the times that we have had in the last five years of boarding. It was also a good time to thank everyone for the massive opportunity that we have all been given here at Scotch College.

2019 has been one massive year for the Residential Life community, I wish the 2020 leaders the very best of luck for the new year.

YEAR 7 AND 8 RESIDENTIAL What a fantastic year it has been! Although the boys will say ‘This has been the longest year of my life,’ it seems just yesterday we were celebrating coming together as a community.

Mr Scott Siekierka Residential Head of Year 7/8

Much has happened, and as I reflect on all that we have accomplished, you will agree that we have squeezed in a great deal. In our first week, we welcomed 21 new families to our Scotch College Residential Life community with an orientation weekend and dinner, before our ‘seasoned’ Year 8 boys returned to commence their second year of living away from home.

Our thoughts were with our new boys who had to familiarise themselves with a new school, try to navigate around the maze of buildings and classrooms, and meet a myriad of new people. I am very proud of how these boys tackled each challenge and their resilience in overcoming many obstacles, particularly homesickness.

The change of school or year level, new faces both in Boarding and at school, contributed to the ease with which time passed. School camps, excursions, swimming carnivals, the Bibbulmun Track, and weekend recreation provided the energy release our 11-14 year-old boys required in their first term.

With the influx of new faces every January, the Middle School residence places a significant focus on mateship

108 | Residential Life

and generating a sense of belonging, not just to a year group, but to a House.

The boys are challenged continually to engage in one another’s lives actively, be it through sport, academics, or their daily interactions.

Capitalising on opportunities presented and the continuation of an environment where all boys feel welcomed, comfortable, and can express their individuality safely and without opinion, are essential components of connection.

Without this sense of community, there is little chance to excel in academia, cultural activities, personal well-being, or sport.

There is no doubt that the assessments are more rigorous than what they were in Year 5, 6 and 7, and I think some boys, particularly early on, found it challenging to adjust their study routine and work habits to accommodate the increased expectations and workload.

Adjusting to the number of sport choices, players per sport and grades within that sport is never an easy task, especially when home sporting teams at best have an A and B division. How the boys conducted themselves representing the maroon and gold has been nothing short of exemplary. It was pleasing to witness the newly formed relationships crossover into the community, with many of the boys invited to play community sport by their

day school friends, adding to the already rich experience.

While challenges will present in each boy’s boarding journey, the maturity, empathy, and understanding each member displays towards not only his academics but his relationships will leave all three year groups in good stead.

Regardless of age or year group, each member developed a definite sense of community and displayed a consistent, productive, and constructive approach in his interactions with others. I feel the whole group has contributed very firmly towards achieving congruency so early in their journey.

I want to thank the families for their support of the boys and myself in 2019.

The dedication, enthusiasm, and energy shown towards the boys and their journey is infectious.

I wish all families of Scotch an enjoyable and memorable holiday period with their loved ones, and look forward to the new adventure that awaits in 2020. Best wishes to all!

YEAR 9 BOARDING HOUSE New to the Senior School and new to the Year 9 Boarding House, the transition from Year 8 to 9 is a pivotal stage in every boy’s development in the Boarding House and at Scotch College.

Mr Sean Mecham Residential Head of Year 9

Our cultural theme of ‘The Great Outdoors’ was explored and it presented many opportunities to learn from the natural environments in which we live. The three R’s of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience were again established as the House ethos and many lessons were learnt.

2019 was a year of first experiences for the Year 9 Boarders. Being part of the Senior School saw the boys faced with significant challenges in their studies from the Academic Program. The boys thrived in the participation of more extensive subject areas, alongside the help of the “prep” programme for academic assistance.

The boys began competing in the PSA Summer Sports programme against other independent boy schools, as well as the introduction of Senior Inter-House Carnivals, where boys in their Houses competed against each other.

The boys’ participation in Inter-House saw them earn spots in the Inter-School Team, where they were part of Scotch’s victory in winning the Alcock Shield.

The boys got involved in the PSA Winter Sport, and many of the boys joined community sporting teams. The Year 9 Swanbourne Tigers Football Club had a successful year with Tyler Messina winning the Best & Fairest Award and Kalib Dempster Park winning Runner up B&F. The boys packed their bags and ventured over to Rottnest Island for the Year 9 Camp, a great chance to spend time with their House Head and fellow House peers.

Our first 9 Year Bibbulmun Track experience was eventful; the plan was to walk from Balingup to Collie. We had reached the halfway mark when a ‘snakebite’ to Sid’s leg had both groups evacuated. Even though the snake gave a ‘dry bite’, the way the boys responded with care and in a calm manner was truly inspiring. The whole experience united this cohort to be even closer than when they started. The second Bibbulmun Track experience was full of walking, talking, swimming and laughs as the boys powered on for seven days from Dwellingup to Collie. Some of the Year 9s extended their exploration of the ‘Great Outdoors’ with an amazing experience on the Year 9 Canberra Tour.

Moray Camps commenced and week by week groups got the chance to camp out. Boys experienced the ropes course, the famous ‘leap of faith’, kayaking and orienteering.

The 2019 Boarding Photography Competition saw Samuel McGinniss take out second place and George Yuan winning third place in the Junior Category. The 2019 ‘SPIRIT’ Award saw nominations awarded to Oscar Rogers, Edward Graham, Tyler Messina, Kody Waters, Kalib Dempster Park and Kody Waters.

The Boarding House enjoyed some great activities this year which included Adventure World, paint balling, ice skating, movie nights, visits to the beach and so many extra socials events there are too many to mention.

Finally, the Year 9 Graduation Dinner was a chance to say thank you and goodbye from Junior boarding. The boys enjoyed the evening and they are officially ready to move over to the Senior House next year.

YEAR 10 RESIDENTIAL LIFE This year has been a step up for the Year 10 boarding cohort, transitioning from the Year 9 Boarding House to the “Big House”.

George Purser and Adriel Roblin Year 10 (Brisbane, Anderson)

Getting to bed on time was a struggle until we started having our phones impounded, and consequently we became more organised, and improved our punctuality.

This year we took part in the ‘Tomorrow Man’ workshops. The programme was a series of men’s health sessions that discussed what it meant to be a man in the 21st century, and how the media and society portray men. At times this was very challenging, but it was a very good way for the boys to get to know each other in an emotional and eye-opening experience.

Just as we were finally maturing as a cohort, we were devastated to learn that one of our fellow boarders, Andrew Steel, was leaving us to pursue his farming career at a different school. We celebrated his new beginning at Allegro’s Restaurant which was a great night.

This year we had two Bibbulmun Track walks that spanned from Balingup to Palings Road. They were great walks and 110 | Residential Life

we had many highlights. Some of these included the Giant Mountain, where we slept, and woke up to an amazing view of the Hegarty Creek Valley below covered in mist. Our second journey of the year spanned from Palings Road to Northcliffe.

On one of the nights, the group were able to camp at a caravan park, which is as luxurious as the Bib Track gets.

This year we had two exchange students joining us. Gabe Dias from Northern California was a baseballer, but was willing to give AFL a crack, and ended up being extremely good at it. Reilly Kaczmarek from Colorado was a vegetarian rock climber who represented Scotch at Cross Country.

“No Tech Tuesday”, was very unpopular in Year 9 and this was replaced with “No Trouble Tuesday” a devious idea formed

by Mr Hales to reduce the amount of times the Year 10 boys were mentioned in the end of shift report. We did achieve three of these in a row and were rewarded with a breakfast at the OBH. Amongst the group we had many outstanding achievements. Terry Zhou achieved two academic excellences, an Honourable Mention in the Senior

National Mathematics competition and a High Distinction in the Australian Maths Competition. Jack Zhang was First Horn in the School Orchestra and Concert Band, while Maxx Della Franca made the 1st Basketball team in his first term of coming to Scotch. In the undefeated Year 10 Football team we were represented by James Holtham, Brenton McCauley, Muddy Sgro, Tom Anderson and Raquell Bin Rashid who won best player for the team.

Recreation this year included trips to the movies and golf at the Wembley Driving Range, where Adriel Roblin was the most improved golfer, and Jake Macintosh won best impersonation of “Happy Gilmore.”

The recreation highlight of the year that probably stuck out the most was the St Hilda’s river cruise, as it was a great night, experiencing having a social on a boat.

2019 in the 'Big House' was fantastic and we look forward to 2020.

YEAR 11 BOARDING HOUSE It’s been a long year. For some, the past 12 months have presented many challenges, while others feel that they’ve really hit their stride.

Flynn Le Cornu Year 11, Anderson

Regardless, it has been undeniably valuable in the lessons and experiences for each of the boys within the residential community. Before stepping forth from the precipice into Year 12, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on everything this cohort of boarders has achieved over the last year.

209 kilometres were walked by the boys during the two sections of the Bibbulmun Track completed in June and November.

For the boys who have continued, it was agreed that the most recent section, which saw the boys finally reach the Southern Ocean, was one of the more enjoyable stretches, packed full of beautiful views and relatively comfortable campsites. This part of the Year 11 section marks the second-last stretch before the boys walk into Albany next February.

This is a monumental achievement that is indicative of the boys’ persistence and commitment.

Eight boys travelled out to different parts of Perth throughout the term to partake in work experience, build valuable skills and gain industry contacts as part of their involvement in the Instep programme.

The boys had to wake up early, organise their own transport and work with a number of different companies. They used practical skills and applied themselves in an assortment of roles, developing an understanding of the inner workings of the real-life workplace.

Year 11 boarders learned the risks of substance abuse from the harrowing stories told by speakers in the Prevention of Alcohol Related Trauma in Youth (PARTY) programme held at the Royal Perth Hospital. We were taken around to different parts of the hospital and were familiarised with the processes the medical staff use to deal with emergency situations. It also provided a reference point for the scale of consequences as a result of poor decisions.

50 miles were walked by some of the boarders alongside PLC students in

July. The lads who attended enjoyed an adventure through Moray, socialising with the other walkers and supporting one another all the way to the end of the journey.

18 tutors work in the Boarding House to ensure that each Boarder has the resources available to achieve personal excellence in his academic pursuits, of which we are most appreciative.

Evidently, 2019 was jam-packed with adventures and valuable experiences that the boys loved every minute of. Throughout it all, the Residential community’s common bond held us together, and was strengthened in the process. There was maturity and knowledge gained as a result of these unique experiences, and horizons were expanded. Here’s to 2020 being a great new year and a bigger and bolder adventure.

YEAR 12 BOARDING Over the course of 2019, the Residential Leavers have been busy with several interesting and exciting recreational events and functions.

Aidan Veitch Vice-Captain of Operations Residential Life

with gravy rolls raising over $3,000 for the RFDS.

One of the major events that took place in and around the Boarding House this year was Agricultural Day.

This event, along with our regular featured events on our Year 12 calendar, which included the Year 12 School Ball, PLC/Scotch Boarders Ball and our End to Enders on the Bibbulmun Track, meant the year was running at a high tempo.

The Year 12 Boarding group worked hard to create an Ag Day based on the theme of ‘Field Days’ that was super-sized from previous years, having a John Deere tractor and JCB machinery supplied by Simon Staines, Dad of Beau Staines, Year 11 Boarder from Esperance, as well as a Royal Flying Doctor Service aeroplane “Isla”. The day was very successful, with boys from the ELC to Year 12, staff across the whole School as well as other members of our local community getting down for the traditional lamb on a spit

112 | Residential Life

In boarding, we source local talent in small businesses from our community to work with us and teach us life skills.

Last year we learnt how to cut hair with Johnny our local barber. This year as part of transitioning out of Boarding, we took part in a barista course in the School canteen, run by local business owner Paul Loiterton from Standin’ Room on Bayview Terrace, Claremont. The boys exploited this newly learnt skill throughout the next few terms, with the School canteen at

lunch and recess being almost constantly full of Boarders improving their new craft at making a great coffee for themselves, other students and staff.

The Northbridge After Dark Tour was new this year, and involved being led through Northbridge and Perth by an off-duty police officer. He talked us through the dangers, as well as how to stay safe in this area at night. This information was taken on board by everyone who attended and will become very useful and applicable in the coming years after Scotch.

Being the final year for our Year 12 cohort in the Boarding House and five years of Boarding for some of us at Scotch, 2019 has been an extremely enjoyable year and I am sure all of the boys will remember the adventures along the way with fond memories for years to come.

CADETS The Cadets WA programme is a voluntary scheme open to all secondary school students and gives young people between the ages of 13 and 17 the opportunity to learn vital life skills.

Ms Meg Baker Year 9 Cadet Chief Instructor

They have the opportunity to develop physically, intellectually and socially through structured leadership, initiative and teamwork training and activities.

The aim of the Cadets WA programme is to provide an opportunity for young people to participate in interesting and challenging structured training that would provide practical life skills, develop leadership, teamwork and initiative skills and foster qualities of community responsibility and service. There are nine streams of cadets, and at Scotch we offer the Emergency Service Cadet option, funded by the Department of Communities and managed by the Fire and Emergency Service Authority of Western Australia (FESA).

Being an Emergency Services Cadet offers Scotch boys an opportunity to learn life skills in a supportive environment where the emphasis is on having fun.

They are provided with the opportunity to develop leadership skills, as well as being given a chance to expand their

abilities to work well as a member of a team. The improvement of their skills of initiative and self-discipline is also encouraged. In addition, Cadets are given a chance to become positive and productive members of their community. This can lead to a career path if desired, or alternatively, they can pursue an involvement as an adult volunteer at a later stage. Overall cadets are encouraged to pursue a lifetime commitment to “Active Citizenship”.

The Cadet programme also offers an opportunity for young people to gain qualifications outside of their school curriculum, such as the Recreational Skippers Ticket and First Aid certificate.

The richness and diversity of the ESCC course enables cadets to access skills and knowledge ranging far beyond the normal capacity of the regular schooling experience.

This year, the Year 9 and 10 Cadets participated in a training programme focused on nine core modules: firstaid, radio communications, fire safety and basic fire lighting, roping skills, navigation/orienteering, bush craft, abseiling, boat and water safety, and

camping. In addition to these, Year 10 Cadets participated in numerous other community service activities, such as our work with the City of Nedlands Environmental division around seed collection, dune rehabilitation and rubbish collection. The Year 9 Cadets were successful in the proper planning and construction of a 10-metre-long suspension bridge, and this process allowed them to practise their knot tying skills, communication and teamwork. This exercise has never been completed by a Cadet group before; a huge achievement!

Cadets attended numerous camps, such as the combined Bickley camp, an overnight navigation camp, Woodman Point and a week long expedition to Kalbarri where Cadets from both year groups had the chance to bond and work as a team. On this camp, the Year 9 cadets participated in a variety of fun and challenging activities such as horse riding, gorge abseiling, canoeing, trekking and sandboarding. The boys demonstrated outstanding leadership and teamwork while pushing their personal limits in activities that took them out of their comfort zone.

CHESS This year the Chess Club saw the addition of many new faces that will come to shape the Chess Club over the next few years through their participation and leadership in the competitions and day to day atmosphere.

Sebastian Barrett Chess Captain

The first challenge was the Senior Inter-House Chess Competition. In this wonderful event, the Year 11s and 12s competed in teams of three for their Houses and were always supported by a crowd of spectators from all years. The results were Ferguson first (for the second year running), Brisbane second, and Keys third after a well fought competition.

The following term, it was the turn of the Year 9s and 10s in the Junior Inter-House Chess Competition. This was an excellent opportunity for many boys to become involved with the Senior School Chess Club for the first time. The results were Brisbane first, St. Andrews second, and Alexander third.

The Year 9 and 10 competition highlighted the strength of several upcoming players and allowed them to hone their skills as they fought for the prize. Oliver Barrett, Year 10 Brisbane, managed to win this competition. The Year 11 and 12 competition exhibited great skills and was fiercely fought. The close winner was Sebastian Barrett, Year 12 Brisbane.

The big competition (Years 9, 10, 11 and 12) allowed the younger players to challenge some of the older boys and allowed everyone to play against new opponents.

The winners were James Jenour first, Sebastian Barrett second, and Oliver Barrett third.

Scotch also competed in two Inter-School competitions: The Four Schools and PSA Chess. The two teams consisted of: James Jenour, Sebastian Barrett, Oliver Barrett, Scott Siu, Dan Wiese, Mason Jongejan, Lewis Orr, Luka Kalugin, Kobey Raffety and Galih Sukardi. The chance to challenge other schools in a serious environment was a new experience for many of the boys, yet they rose to the challenge well. We came second in the Four Schools’ competition and fifth in the PSA chess competition.

I have observed a marked improvement in the ability and confidence of my fellow players over the last five years, and it has been wonderful to be a part of this. The fun attitudes of everyone, tinged with a streak of competition, have made the Chess Club one of my favourite parts of being a Scotch boy and I will certainly always carry fond memories of this energetic and fun club.

DEBATING In 2019, Debating remained a staple of the co-curricular opportunities available to students, with many taking up the challenge in the Inter-House and Inter-School competitions.

Owen Edgar and Lewis Orr Debating Co-Captains

The Junior and Senior Inter-House competitions saw numerous students give debating a go for the first time, engaging with a range of captivating and controversial topics, the quality of which was promising for the year to come of Inter-School competitions.

Yet again, Scotch put forward a strong debating squad, with 62 students and 11 coaches from Years 7 to 12 competing in Inter-School competitions. In the West Australian Debating League (WADL), pleasing results were seen across the board, with two teams winning their divisions, proceeding to the finals. Ben Scott (Year 10 Ross) was one of four students in the State

116 | Societies and Services

selected to compete in the National Schools Debating Competition, with the WA team placing third. Later in the year, the boys were also rewarded in the AHISA competition, with both competing teams winning their division.

Within the distinct British Parliamentary Debating Competition, another two teams reached the finals, with Lachlan Norcott and Sam Wake doing so for the third consecutive year, while Ben Scott and Heath Muller qualified for and won the grand final. All boys who competed should be commended for the way they conducted themselves, in what are always competitive and high pressure competitions.

As anyone who has competed in debating before can confirm, the skills developed in debating are both practical in the real world and invaluable in other aspects of

schooling. Critical thinking, teamwork and composure are crucial to the impromptu debates, in which teams receive the topic of debate an hour beforehand and without access to technology are required to work together and form an argument.

The vast benefits of debating are only realised through the dedication and support of the coaches, whose guidance and expertise the boys are fortunate to have access to. Most notably, we are extremely grateful for the efforts of Miss Gooding and Mrs Ellis as the Debating Coordinators, providing the rewarding experience of Debating at Scotch to every student who participates. We wish all the boys the best of luck in the 2020 season.

Congratulations to the 2020 Co-Captains of Debating Lachlan Norcott and Sam Wake.

Debating

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S INTERNATIONAL AWARD 2019 has been another successful year for The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award at Scotch.

Mr David Kyle Director of Service and Citizenship

The strong increase in boys starting the Award in recent years has been translated into boys completing the Award, and this was a core priority for 2019. As well as greater staff assistance, there has been targeted communication with parents, boys and House Heads, a greater role for student leaders, and the development of the Abrolhos Islands Adventurous Journey which have all contributed to improved completion numbers.

As a result of the College’s support and successes in delivering the Award in recent years, we were able to have an Awardee receive his Award at the organisation’s 60th Anniversary celebrations in August.

Aydin Hutchison was invited to attend the ceremony in Sydney with Prince Edward, but decided to attend the Western Australian celebrations at Government House instead. Aydin was one of six awardees that evening, and the College was also presented with a certificate of recognition.

In celebration of their 60th anniversary of delivering in Australia, the organisation had banners flying on St George’s Terrace during August and it was pleasing that Scotch College featured in such a prominent location.

In 2019, we had 104 boys register for the Award and 38 complete their award.

Well done to all involved.

SCIN SCIN, the Scotch College Indigenous Network is the group of indigenous boys from Years 7-12.

Mr Richard Ledger Head of Middle School

This year there were 38 boys in this network coming from the Kimberley, Pilbara, Goldfields and Great Southern regions. The group meets fortnightly with two broad agendas: to check-in and support each other at school. This is important as most of the SCIN’s students are living away from home and any help on school or life from an older peer can be invaluable. The second is to identify and deliver ways to raise indigenous culture within the College.

There are big events and small occurrences that we use to raise awareness. The biggest event is NAIDOC Week, a week in which we try to run

events such as language lessons in Junior School or have guest speakers, such as Darryl Belotti, at Senior School Assembly. We all take a turn at delivering a Welcome or Acknowledgment to Country, are involved in mural painting, and this year began the work on a new AFL Indigenous Round football jumper for the 2020 season. There have also been two indigenous cultural tours this year for Year 8 boys to Arnhem Land and the East Kimberley, where we have spoken to the boys about some aspects they may not have considered previously.

One of the highlights of the year has been the re-engagement with two of our OSC’s: Kamsani Bin Salleh OSC 12, and Yarlalu Thomas OSC 14. Kamsani Bin Salleh has been working right across the school, from the ELC to Senior School, on a series

of paintings that reflect the six seasons of the Noongar calendar. These paintings are now on permanent display on the rear wall of the Chapel, and make a colourful acknowledgment of the Noongar country the College sits on. Kam’s contribution to indigenous recognition and advancement, as well as his own artistic talent, was recognised with the WA Young Person of the Year Award for 2018. Yarlalu Thomas has been working with the SCIN’s boys as a tutor in the Boarding House and was instrumental in our delivery of NAIDOC Week this year. Yarlalu has also been recognised with the 2020 Young West Australian of the Year Award by the Australia Day Council for his work in indigenous health research. Having both Kam and Yarlalu back on campus has been uplifting.

LIBRARY In 2019, Scotch College received the inaugural Western Australian School Library of the Year Award.

Mr Brad Tyrrell Dean of Information and Learning Technology

This award from the Western Australian School Library Association recognises and honours an exceptional school library team whose professional practice has a positive impact on student achievement and information literacy.

A successful new approach to melding the Junior and Middle Library (JML) spaces improved usage, expanding resource and space availability to all boys. Junior School boys loved having their lessons in our bean bag area, whilst Middle School boys appreciated being able to use all the tables and ottomans to play games and study. Re-evaluating Young Adult fiction titles to be more representative of this collection has resulted in a wider range of fiction being made available to Junior School boys, and reorganising the Graphic Novel collection to promote both Young Adult and junior titles improved engagement.

The Accelerated Reading (AR) Programme was extended to Year 4s as well as Year 5s, who maintained regular borrowing and reading routines. The new AR website available via the JS Library homepage has helped boys match their AR reading needs with the JML collection.

The new eBook/audiobook Sora app has also proved really popular as a flexible device to access digital fiction, with approximately 13 percent of loans accessed via this app.

Book Week was again a highlight of the Junior School calendar with a dressup day and the Room on the Broom

pantomime; the ELC library hosted a parade of Yobbos Do Yoga with guest storyteller, Mr Richard Ledger. Ms Lisa Perriam joined Mr Warwick Norman in providing an amazing Little Pipers Loving Literacy programme to extend Scotch Libraries out into our community, and nurture literacy between parent and child. Creating a designated Little Pipers collection has proved very popular, with positive feedback about its quality and the new housing that enables 0 to 3-yearolds to choose their own board books.

Our Books n’ Bros Club continued to be over-subscribed with One of Us is Lying, Mallee Boys, and Eviction being our hit novels, and the Creative Writing Club had a Children’s Book Council Award winner with Seth Abbott (Year 7) winning a state award for his moving story, Eliza.

A new ‘Level Up’ collection focused on providing more mature and challenging fiction reads for Year 8s was also made possible by a generous donation from the Scotch Parents.

The Information and Research Specialist role continues to be a critical one in the JML to make connections between campuses, Residential Life students and staff, so that we can maximise the cohesive nature of the collections and spaces.

The Senior School Library team collaborated with an Indonesian artist and the Middle School Book Club in Summer and Autumn Terms to design a diverse range of 12 genre characters to reflect interest areas within our collection. These characters have been used on the library webpages to link students with genrespecific titles for recreational reading.

A major project this year was the design and installation of our backlit timeline around the top of the main library space.

This features a selection of literary, historical and technological moments of significance and was installed by our Facilities staff. We also created permanent Middle School and Senior School ‘Books to Read Before you Leave Scotch’ displays. These books were suggested by library staff and include popular fiction and non-fiction titles. English classes have engaged with the displays, discussing plots and drawing on opinions from boys who had read the books.

The Senior Library was actively engaged in creating, curating and team-teaching the Approaches to Learning skills through the Years 9 and 10 curriculum.

The implementation of the hub has led to an increase in interactions between the library, staff and students. Science, Humanities, and English departments all now regularly engage with the Teacher Librarians to create a comprehensive package of resources to support student learning, including: • research guides containing curated and differentiated database, online and multimedia resources • a OneNote class notebook, allowing independent and collaborative interaction by staff and students • relevant learning strategies Collaboration on the development of both the resources and delivery has been key to success.

MOCK TRIALS Defined by the collision of legal strategy and critical thinking, Mock Trials represents one of the most productive avenues for learning at Scotch.

Benji Steinberg Year 12, Ferguson

In addition to school studies, participating in Mock Trials engrains integral values of diligence, creativity and perseverance.

For me at least, Mock Trials was a culmination of the most important and useful skills that you will learn at school, engaging the creativity of debating and the professionalism of mooting, while wrestling deeply with topical legal issues.

This club represented a high pressure, but incredibly productive platform for quenching my endeavour to learn.

Without it, I would not have nurtured the foundational traits of eloquence, brevity and consistency.

Scotch College performed strongly throughout the Mock Trial season, across Years 10-12. We devised strategy and evaluated a series of legal scenarios, winning a number of trials. Headed up by the clinical Mr Zani, many teams were successful in not only persuading the judge but also in gleaning a newfound sense of confidence when it came to public speaking. This was further

accompanied by an insight into the art of critical thinking and how this intersects with the legal sphere – an incredibly useful skill. For this reason, I would strongly advocate and am grateful for my participation in Mock Trials as a club.

On behalf of the boys, our thanks must go to Mr Zani who worked relentlessly in proofing case summaries and revising examinations-in-chief, single-handedly managing several teams.

Participating in Mock Trials also provides a unique and engaging style of learning, a joyful escape from rudimentary class time, where you can delve as deeply as you want. The club is predicated on a sense of practical learning and teamwork, which demands and incentivises a level of professionalism and sincerity when it comes to learning. Regardless of your position in the team, whether that be a witness, barrister or working on the shadow position, participating in Mock Trials is often a rigorous test of your knowledge and preparation. While this can often be out of one’s comfort zone, I strongly believe that these positions are where the most effective and fortified learning occurs. Operating vertically

along the year groups, Mock Trials also encourages a level of cooperation between boys across a variety of ages in the Senior School. This can often be at a creative and analytical advantage as not only do the boys develop a sense of camaraderie, but also fresh insight and different ways of thinking about a legal problem.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity of Mock Trials and will always remember the skills of advocacy that I learnt when tackling engaging legal problems.

As per the School theme, embrace the challenge!

UN YOUTH UN Youth Australia is one of Australia’s largest youth-led organisations, educating and empowering young Australians on global issues and politics.

Sam Wake Year 10, Brisbane

The organisation runs a number of different programmes throughout the year, from nation-wide competitions to conferences promoting diplomacy and current global issues, Scotch was heavily involved with the organisation this year, competing at a national level in both the UN Voice public speaking competition and the Evatt Trophy.

The Evatt Trophy is Australia’s largest nation-wide debate-oriented competition. The competition is a simulation of a model UN Security Council. Teams of two must represent and argue in response to simulated resolutions for a designated country on the Security Council, with an aim to both accurately replicate their country’s potential response to these resolutions about current global affairs, and effectively carry out their aims. Resolutions are centred around current issues of global security, this year ranging from media freedoms to the disputed territory of Kashmir and the rise of the terrorist group Boko Haram in West Africa, with many more debated.

Students in the competition are judged on overall effectiveness, through their speaking skills in the chamber, ability to negotiate and utilise diplomacy with other countries, successful amendments made to the resolution, and accuracy of the team’s representation of their country and response to an issue. This year, Lachlan Norcott and I qualified to be one of four teams to represent Western Australia at the national finals. There we represented Kuwait and debated on seven resolutions, of which four were impromptu.

UN Youth Australia is a wonderful opportunity for students to broaden their horizon, practise speaking skills and engage in youth politics. Whether students want to compete or simply have an opportunity to learn from some of Australia’s brightest minds, I strongly encourage their involvement in the future.

Scotch was also involved in the UN Voice public speaking competition. This is a competition where students must prepare a five-minute speech to attempt to provide a solution to a current global issue. Students were also required to answer two impromptu questions about the pragmatics or issues arising from their solution. Successful speeches were ones with innovative solutions with a real-world potential for implementation. This year I made the national finals, held in Perth, where I spoke on two separate questions, as well as being involved with a huge number of opportunities to engage in global youth politics.

MUSIC The Scotch Music Department is renowned for bursting with life and enthusiasm.

Lewis Miller Music Captain

The Music Department has had a busy year, filled with countless rehearsals and performances founded from a collection of the dedicated, committed staff and students in this department.

The year began with an auditioning process, in which students were auditioned and streamed into the bands that were appropriate for their development. This was a new initiative that allowed greater progress for all the students of different abilities and experience. Furthermore, it allowed students of similar abilities and intentions with music to play together, learn from each other and develop together.

As a continuation of the auditioning process, many bands began to integrate PLC musicians, creating a more diverse population and an increase in the standards of these bands. This is an exciting integration that I hope continues to develop in the following years.

124 | Celebrating the Arts

Another exciting initiative that I hope continues was the introduction of Live Music Mondays. This involved the performance of a band (almost) every Monday lunchtime. This provided a stage for all genres of music, especially those who are not heard very often.

The performer that was likely the most popular and recurring was a death metal band, which hadn’t had an opportunity to perform very much previously. Thanks to Live Music Monday, the band had a stage to perform on and an audience to perform to.

A major success this year was the 2019 Jazz Night, which, as usual, featured copious amounts of solos and interesting surprise guests. This year we had a guest/ teacher combined band, entertaining students and parents alike, showing us what we could be if we continued our studies and passion of music. This was followed up by the 2019 Essentially Ellington Jazz Competition, where we had multiple bands immersed in the music, and surrounded by jazz for a weekend.

It has also been a busy year for the Combined Symphony Orchestra

and the Concert Band, with multiple performances throughout the year and a great development from all the students involved.

To wrap up the year, we had the annual Spring Concert where a variety of different genres were successfully preformed in the Memorial Hall. This was a great event, where the students’ passion and hard work over the year were commemorated, and a fun night for all.

With such a busy and successful year, we thank our teachers, parents and mentors.

Their relentless hard work into the betterment of each individual’s musicality should never be under-appreciated. So, a massive thank you to all the staff, and a massive thank you to all the boys who put in the hard work and practice this year. It really has paid off.

It has been an honour to be Music Captain this year. I have watched ensembles and students grow as musicians and as people. It is truly heartwarming to see the students’ growth, and I am excited to see their continued development in the years to come.

With such a busy and successful year, we thank our teachers, parents and mentors.

Their relentless hard work into the betterment of each individual’s musicality should never be under appreciated.

PIPE BAND 2019 marks a year of tremendous success for the Pipe Band, with accomplishment not only within the School, but also at State and International levels.

Alex Mallawarachichi Pipe Major

The consistent efforts of all bandmembers, along with a strong dedication from the leadership cohort, resulted in a truly enjoyable and memorable year.

The band performed at many events over the year, including Open Day, Athletics Day, and various conferences run by the School, just to name a few. Smaller groups of band-members found themselves playing at numerous local events, such as the St Andrews Church Open Day, various community service events by the Year 10 group, and the Walk for Women’s Cancer event. I was most impressed with the consistent effort by all members throughout the year; with new tunes implemented into the repertoire, the boys always rose to any challenge presented, and played admirably at every event.

Individually, many pipers and drummers found success at a State level. Numerous senior members of the band played convincingly at State competitions from novice to A-grade. Particularly impressive however, was the turnout of the younger members of the band at

competitions later in the year, finishing with some impressive performances in their respective grades. The overall talent showcased by these younger members is impressive, serving as an indicator of the exciting potential of this band moving forward.

The A-Team had one of our busiest years in recent memory. Along with playing at events around Perth, such as the Hawaiian Ride for Youth and the Youth Focus ball, the group also competed in various State competitions, winning Juvenile and Grade 4 divisions at the Floreat Quintet and Fremantle Highland competitions, along with a juvenile win at the State Pipe Band Competition.

With many hours of dedication from the A-Team members, I was immensely proud of the sound we were able to produce throughout the year.

This year also marked the third international tattoo in as many years for the band, with 21 band members travelling to Switzerland for the Basel Tattoo. For many of the boys, this was their first international experience with the band. The respectful, enthusiastic manner in which each band member represented the School is worthy of praise. The level

of energy and professionalism was consistent from the first performance through to the 17th and final performance.

2019 marks a pivotal change in the staff of the band, with Mr Norm De Grussa and Mr Roy Hamilton departing Scotch College. Throughout 27 and 11 years respectively, both teachers have maintained an elite level of pipes and drums, and have left an everlasting impact on hundreds of students. The gratitude felt by our leaving cohort to these men is immense, and I speak on behalf of hundreds of Old Scotch Collegians in wishing them the utmost success in their future endeavours.

I’d like to thank Mr Bailey for his incredible dedication, and the hard work of the Parents committee in their fundraising events. None of the Pipe Band’s success would be possible without the insurmountable efforts of these people to the band.

Finally, I wish the band well for the future.

We leave the band in capable hands with the next leadership cohort, and the potential of the band going forward is incredibly exciting. I look forward to witnessing the future direction of the Pipe Band.

DRAMA Senior School Sarah Combes Head of Drama/2IC of Performing Arts

The rewards that come with studying Drama stretch much further than the bounds of the classroom. Skills such as creative thinking and reasoning, the ability to work collaboratively and speak confidently in front of people can be applied to any profession.

Any boy who steps into a Drama class or School Production will get something different out of the experience. The graduating Year 12 ATAR class of 2019 proved the embodiment of this statement, as they approached various challenges throughout the year with determination, discipline and a great sense of fun. They were the first Drama class to bravely perform solo work in front of the whole Senior School at assembly and presented a very high standard of Original Solo Performances at the culmination of their studies. Being pushed into new scenarios while cohesively supporting each other to achieve their personal best will prove invaluable experience for these young men beyond school.

This year’s Senior School Production of Nikolai Gogol’s classic masterpiece, The Government Inspector was the perfect vehicle to showcase the diverse talent of the Year 11 and 12 students, as well as the opportunity to discover the connection between classic theatre and our modern perceptions. Widely known as Russia’s greatest comedy of errors, The Government Inspector ridicules the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia at the time. Playwright Nikolai Gogol was part of the revolution that held a mirror up to society and made Russia take another look at itself, shaming it into improvement. With themes centred around corruption, greed, authority and power, this play still proved relevant to modern audiences.

The cast relished the opportunity to dive into a world of larger-than-life characters who were outrageous in their physical features and behaviour. In order to tackle the heightened physicality and slapstick routines, rehearsals focused on developing the actors’ imaginative spontaneity with a physical approach inspired by Commedia dell’arte.

136 | Celebrating the Arts

Throughout rehearsals, the collective feeling of responsibility and self-efficacy demonstrated by the cast fostered a vibrant and motivating environment for all involved, encouraging each individual to make bold and fearless choices. The artistic vision and execution of the set and costume design team was instrumental in bringing Gogol’s world to life, producing what can only be described as a work of art.

Following the conclusion of another successful production, the establishment of the OSC Theatre Company was forged by recent graduates in collaboration with the Drama Department and OSC Committee. This initiative will be committed to providing opportunities and further experience for recent graduates, bridging the gap between school and professional experience. The company will also provide a unique platform for OSCs with industry experience to contribute and mentor by sharing their expertise with the College. We look forward to the launch of the company in 2020!

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts…”

– William Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act II Scene VII This year, Middle School Drama has seen students exposed to many different roles and performance styles in theatre whilst exploring contemporary issues and the complexity of being human in our rapidly changing world. Year 8 Drama classes travelled to the State Theatre of Western Australia to see Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts performed by Shake and Stir Theatre Company and Ghost in a Suitcase by Barking Gecko Theatre. These experiences further expanded their understanding of theatre conventions and contemporary issues in our society.

Summer Term showcased the talents of our Year 6 and cast through Morris Gleitzman’s Worry Warts. The students rose to the challenge at every turn, with many of them having their first experience

in a school production. The play explores a young man who is desperately trying to keep his parents together, with disastrous and humorous results. Throughout the rehearsal process students explored their character’s situation and motivations, allowing a deeper appreciation for their own lives and experiences.

The Year 8-10 production Teechers got off to an energetic start with 23 students being cast in this fast-paced comedy set in an English high school in the 1980s.

Students threw themselves into their roles with enthusiasm and creativity playing a range of eccentric teachers and students. At the heart of this comedy was the message that all children should be treated equally, and we are all entitled to a decent education. “I felt that it was wrong …we shouldn’t have a system where we treat the less able kids like rhubarb”.

Theatre serves many purposes, sometimes we aim to entertain, at other times to educate or explore issues that reflect the world we live in. In the case of Teechers and Worry Warts the casts were able to do both, and once again demonstrate the powerful role that theatre and the creative arts can play in shaping and educating an audience and its players.

Theatre serves many purposes, sometimes we aim to entertain, at other times to educate or explore issues that reflect the world we live in.

Any boy who steps into a Drama class or School Production will get something different out of the experience.

ARTS AND LITERATURE Writing Awards and Prizes Dr Jeannette Weeda Editor, The Raven, English Department Learning how to write well is a life skill.

Importantly, creative writing engages the imagination, encourages us to think of alternatives, helps us explore the range and diversity of human experiences, broadens our thinking… and the list goes one. Creative writing is both an aesthetic and intellectual process and many Scotch boys are very good at it. The boys have, again, had a productive year of writing.

The national Whitlam Institute Writing Competition was entitled What Matters? and students were asked to discuss where our society is heading and what changes should occur. Jolyon Harrison-Murray’s piece entitled Pirouetting out of Society’s Shackles; Boys and Ballet was short-listed out of approximately 4,500 entries.

Scotch had two 2019 Tim Winton Award for Young Writers, Highly Commended Certificate winners in the Upper Secondary Category this year: Oscar Harold for his short story Serve the Road and Chris Merritt for his short story The Letterbox or: On the Nature of Paranoia and its Effects on Society.

Primo Lux is a state-wide poetry anthology which receives thousands of entries hopeful of publication each year.

140 | Celebrating the Arts

Not only do winning entrants have their work published in an anthology, but these boys are invited to read their poems aloud to a friendly audience at the publication’s launch. Lewis Miller and Ashley Edgar had their poems published in this year’s edition of Primo Lux. Lewis Miller’s poem The Sunset and Ashley Edgar’s poem Imbibe With Me For My Child Sees are in this edition of Reporter.

The Raven, Scotch’s own in-house electronic creative writing magazine, is published once a term featuring strong writing and visual arts contributions. Over seventy pieces of creative writing were published this year, along with visual art entries. Please have a read of the full range of writing our boys have produced this year by accessing The Raven via the Scotch homepage.

The 2019 Raven prizes are awarded within various categories. This year in the Poetry Years 9 and 10 category, the winner was George Sharrin for his poem Pocket of Peace. In the Prose Years 9 and 10 category, the winner was Emanuel Radici for his short story entitled The Voices Beyond. The Poetry Years 11 and 12 prize was awarded to Ashley Edgar for his poem Imbibe With Me For My Child Sees and the Prose Years 11 and 12 prize was awarded to Hamish Watson for his short story Writer in the Dark.

The following pieces are the prizewinning works.

Five Scotch boys this year, through the English Department, have attended the Talented Young Writer’s Programme run by the Fremantle Literacy Centre. These boys were: Hunter Bergersen, Jasper Blunt, Harry Frodsham, Jolyon HarrisonMurray and James Walker. Each term this year these boys have spent a day at the Fremantle Literacy Centre working with published writers and writing with peers from across the State who are as equally interested in reading and creative writing.

The Letterbox Or: On the nature of paranoia and its effect on society CHRIS MERRITT, YEAR 12 Darius opened Father’s old Persian chest, finding a small letter opener and a myriad of documents concerning the old kingdom and its grievances. The seal of a decaying man peered through the amalgamation of old posts from the chest’s base. When the letters were cleared away, his seal was surrounded by towering letters that read:

I trust this report will fall to those in need of its writings.

Whilst this report had addressed some of Darius’ questions, much of his curiosity remained unsated, and the chest was still full of similar writings. Further sifting and skimming determined that many of the reports explained the same idea from differing points of view.

Eventually Darius uncovered a scroll that was detailed in ornate ribbon and sealed with gold flaked wax and imprinted on it was the visage of a grand bearded man decorated with an ornate crown.

When the scroll was opened, it revealed a manuscript bordered with gold adornment, contrasted with tinges of crimson emanating from old drops of blood and wine littered about the page.

A series de tradit pertinens ad antiquum Regnum ruina euis

De legibus novis On the new laws

A series of reports pertaining to the fall of the old Kingdom

Julius Adonis – Councilman, Honourable Citizen

Darius looked upon the rolled and crumpled papers; many still bore the seal of long dead lords from before the fall. The young man could see the towering pillars of the old world from his family’s cottage. But these were no longer the marble master works of the vain and overcompensated. From his eagle’s nest on the hill, Darius could see them crumble into the nearby sea, falling to time and nature again and again. A sudden force of curiosity forced his gaze away from the ruins and back towards the chest and its manifest. Mother and Father never divulged the reasons for the world’s ruin, choosing to speak in hushed tones and murmurings whenever the subject was mentioned.

Darius had never pressed them any further than this, fearing an answer more horrid than the burning curiosity or the forceful recollection of some distant, unexperienced pain. Yet there he stood; Mother and Father had faded from his world and the answers were in his grasp.

My fellow countrymen!

He reached for the first document, broke the old face on the stamp and sat to read it.

EDICTUM X – The North War and its effects on the realm General Gaius Mannanax – Lullii IX, Annos 142 For those able to comprehend this report and unaware or unacquainted with the current conflict and its deteriorating situation, through either complete ignorance or indifference, the legion sent from the western provinces has been moderately (a word to be examined to its exact definition) successful in halting the barbarian advance. Whilst this is the current state of our conflict, it is not the centre point of this report. In context for those aforementioned capable, yet uninformed, individuals, the outset of conflict resulted in an influx of foreigners to our lands for a myriad of varying reasons. Whilst many were harmless simpletons escaping the march of enemy and ally alike, some came with the intention of disruption and damage.

Upon the increasing propagation of acts against our then fair and just system, the Upper Council of Lords and Patricians voted to increase the guard, introduce a curfew for citizens not involved in the upper levels of police and/or Government and the creation of a new “Realm Guard” (purposed with monitoring and arresting suspected foreign aggressors) as well as granting complete judiciary authority to this new arm of force.

Whilst my feelings towards the nature of this subject may be seen as unpatriotic and treated as heretical in their purpose by the despots that have seeped into the upper levels of control, I believe they are relevant nonetheless. The restrictions placed on the people of this realm (whilst written and enacted with the foremost of intentions) will only speed the downfall of our civilization. The power of the new Realm Guard will eventually corrupt itself and lead to its formation as an army for the Council and its members, rather than one bent on protecting its people.

As recent months have come and gone, it is proven that time and again these new laws, in place to protect us all from dissidents and law breakers intent on eradicating our way of life, are more than effective in subduing these invading scum!

I now tell you that in this process, the lives of each citizen have been meticulously recorded by the state, for your own safety and protection, of course.

We would never utilize such information against our citizens.

All citizens should be elated that their lives are now one with our glorious state Their secrets, our secrets Their fears, our fears Their wrong doings, our duty.

I praise all that have willingly followed and heeded the Council in this great endeavour.

As loyal citizens, you would benefit from ignoring the actions of certain Generals and the current military situation and focus instead on devotion to our glorious state.

Those who disobey will be dealt with accordingly by the Realm Guard.

Honour to the Council!

Upon reading this, Darius thought back to Mother and Father.

He remembered the scars on Father’s back and the way his mother would limp and cry. It had always perplexed him as to why the pain of memory had afflicted his parents so greatly, and why they would never speak of before, except in times of extreme passion, where they would divulge pieces of a bloody revolution to their son. From what he had read, and the sporadic pieces of information that his Mother and Father had told him, Darius had finally made up his mind.

Writer in the Dark HAMISH WATSON, YEAR 12 Earlier that day you received an invitation from an old mate to a beach party. Floreat Drain offers ample parking, wide beach space and, most importantly, is appropriately detached from nearby residences permitting the youthful shenanigans that ought to accompany such events. This gathering of sorts ticked all the boxes: • Underage drinking • Bonfire • Moral absences surrounding casual hook-ups.

You checked the guest list, forty-seven people invited (only twenty-three will actually turn up). But one name jumped out at you. Now you hadn’t seen this character in over five years yet, still, an aura of familiarity caressed the size twelve Cambria font on your four-inch-LCD. You remembered seeing his name on some writing award page recently (the one you entered and failed to get even a participation certificate). His name, well my name, put a smile on your porcelain dial. I’m sure of it.

The clock beeps 1853 and, you grace us with your presence (24hour time is superior in almost every way bar perhaps the effort required to vocalise it; something I rarely have the opportunity to do). What you walk into is a sorry affair, by any standard.

Perching upon one of the rolling dunes is an unashamed couple swapping saliva in the not-so-concealing brush. And toward the water’s edge, a gaggle of cold-hearted and blue-lipped teens passing judgement from their sodden gavels and hand-stitched gowns. You overhear some colourful conversations, “Oi nah I get what you’re like saying and all but all I did was kiss her yannow it doesn’t count if there’s no tongue.”

His girlfriend seemed less than accepting of this watertight logic, oh and here it comes, the slap and sand in the eyes.

“Hell, Rory, that’s not what happened! I went to Bazza’s to study!

We just studied!”

You assume the good-looking bloke who copped a left-right goodnight is Bazza.

But you don’t appear fazed. Whether through apathy or ignorance or, perhaps, just sheer innocence, you waltz right through the Somme of Romance and sit next to me.

The pleasantries are done with quickly, getting into the real stuff now. You talk to me as if it were the day you left. There are no awkward interjections nor ice to break. You talk about your

family, how your family moved to South Africa then back again.

You tell me about the things you saw through the windows of your compound, the violence and the drugs and the corruption.

How your family got a new dog (looks more like a rodent than you care to admit), and how your family shattered.

How your eldest brother discovered this form of escapism to rival even The Bachelor. They say Perth has a gambling problem but the roulette wheel spins faster in Pretoria. So now your brother is on the streets and your sister is crying every night, your father is scraping together a semblance of normality despite being unemployed, but your mother turns to the bottle before turning to herself. But you manage a stoic facade, or maybe you ignore your feelings like the rest of our sorry race.

The night goes on but your bottle stays full. You’re not drinking.

You tell me all of this and you’re sober. Why? Because your friends don’t remember you. But I remember you. I will never forget how much fun we had as children. Budding romance in the nonage of our libido nipped by the nun-ish eye of Ms Rattz.

We reminisce about that Thursday lunchtime when you held my hand and led me to the alley adjacent the swing set. I asked what we were doing and you kissed me on the lips and ran away into the ringing of the bell. I didn’t see you for five years.

Now, we revisit that voltaic sensation in our cells. The universe is made of twelve fundamental particles and four forces of nature.

But here on this shoal, you feel a different kind of attraction.

There’s that buzz in your touch, in my touch. In the absence of your warmth, I feel the chill and so do you. You move closer to me, but you try to make it subtle. Your side-eye and almost rhythmic inching towards me disassembles the innocent guise you work so hard to erect. And it is dark. You scarcely make out my silhouette against the raging bonfire comprised of embers and disfigured glass bottles. The way the green glass twists into grotesque carcasses yet somehow garners a new lustre perplexes you. Your brow furrows and my hand snaps you back to the reality. You pull closer, ocean eyes meet… But hey I don’t kiss and tell.

So, you kissed that writer in the dark. Oh, how you shall lament that time you kissed a writer in the dark. Your actions past and present are to be immortalised in ones and zeroes. You will exist when our fragile carriages begin to feed the stems around the tombstones. It will follow you, whether blissfully or as a poignant reminder depends on our next step. People die but words, words are forever.

Serve the Road OSCAR HAROLD, YEAR 12 Dust spits up, blinding the eyes of the follower, a communion of automobiles hurtling across desolate backcountry. On the right, a bleeding carcass clings desperately to the bitumen, one casualty in the expansion of our town. The sky is beginning to glaze over with a drunken rosy hue, and Mum looks restless in her worry seat, sunken eyes slipping down her smooth bronzed skin. She rocks erratically, stiff shoulders falling away into a leathery seat. The highway beckoning, a thin cream line stretching endlessly into some purgatory place that we would not ever reach. Not before reality pulled the car back against the verge: a gas station, toilet break, flickering neon signage that beamed stubbornly through laminated safety glass.

Dad sits in the serious seat, his gaze unmoving from our trusting lane. Small harsh shrubs progress to gargantuan pale oaks, and the road does not falter, it dislocates the natural world, bringing the primitive hum of our bland aluminium machines. My naive state begins to fall away as the journey continues, the last preserved moments of an unreachable past, some awareness I can never return to.

We shoot across a sleeping shire and bright lanterns begin to pull me in, moulding the saddest corners of my soul. The memory becomes washier, cycling in and out of fiction. Strange shapes force their way into my perspective, dark, acerbic parts of a repressed world. The city seems angrier now; back then it was a hopeful, enveloping place. The buildings stack with essence, prudish homes bloom on uniform squared blocks. As our car rolls into that parasitic metropolis Dad changes, he is fluid, relaxing upon the smooth leather upholstery. Mum’s face has changed too, her eyes somewhat forward, a grimace has left with all that worry.

We round a corner, rejecting the once eternal line, and pull up toward a grand, colonial-era residence, a preservation of the old world that this place strives to embody. As we move up the drive, my life is split through the centre, polished iron gates close behind and forever snatch away any invitation of a childhood.

My parents’ faces together shone, their eyes snap with clear intention, heads held by the opulent beast. And I am suddenly overlooked; once the loved and celebrated child, and now a good, to be bargained for, improved, and banked upon. An investment that had been made in a life, from here I am to be commodified.

Billy Mahaffey

They turn me over to that monstrosity, the institution devoted to a whole six years. Inside a man will greet me with an open palm and a soft shake, beckoning my parents to follow him in a trivial dance. The performance, a marketing tool, optimised to win their support. I am not considered. The world begins to shrink, as I patrol the school halls. Any wild fury pulls back into a strict model. Hair sliced, socks raised, shoes glazed in polish, face shaved. My life now fully accounted for, times allotted, quotas provided. In these halls, a new life begins, devoid of once abundant youthful energy.

My parents look lustfully toward my eviction now, they need it, for me to be commodified. To curb that youthful exuberance and forge an iron will, driving me toward perverted goals of wealth and security. In the future is an accommodating job, a swelling, repugnant house, and a set of children for me to peddle in my middle age. The cycle continuing with each new generation, a wealth generating machine, that would work to preserve our family name well past the degradation of that eternal country road.

That day we return to the car for one last time, possessions are handed over, a final farewell. My father looks me dead in the eyes, his legs swaying on usually sound footing. He looks ashen, a shell, his whole world regressing into one resisted memory.

My father has felt his childhood die before, and now he watches mine die before him. His upper lip seems to quiver for a moment, then it is gone. That steely grimace of a smile returns, and he pats my shoulder. I am flung into the abyss, landing in a sea of bourgeois trickery, the life drained forever from my smile.

The Voices Beyond EMANUEL RADICI, YEAR 9 A wall. That’s how it started. A wall in my head. I could see it all around me. I could even physically touch the wall, but I could never get past. And yet, somehow, I knew the wall was just in my head. So why was it so… so real? That was the question I could not stop asking myself, for what seemed like an eternity. I had lost track of time. But then one day, out of the blue, everything changed forever.

I had traced my hand over every little crack, bump and fissure in the wall. I could feel the cold touch of stone, but somehow, I knew it wasn’t real. It circled me in all directions, up, down, left, right. Everywhere. Just this cracked, chiselled stone. I didn’t know why I was there, where my parents were, where any of my friends were. All I knew was the wall. And then one day, without warning, it started crumbling.

“Ell? Ell, can you hear me? Honey, it’s me. We’re worried. Please.

Do something.”

I snapped awake from my dozing on the rough surface of the floor. The voice was coming from the wall. No, not from the wall.

From beyond the wall. I didn’t know how, or why, but the voice felt familiar. I knew that voice. But how? I hadn’t heard anything apart from my own heartbeat in eternities.

“Hello?” I said.

My voice simply echoed back at me from the wall. Nothing. I sat back down, about to close my eyes, when I noticed something.

A crack. A crack in the wall. It might not seem of significance to anyone else, but I had felt every fissure and bump in this wall.

The crack was new. It was new. My heart raced. I had never seen anything new before. At least, not in this stone cage. I stood up, uncertain, and carefully traced my fingers delicately over the crack. It felt so… fresh, like an old scar which had reopened.

Just touching it made my entire body tingle. Again, I didn’t know why, or how, but a feeling in my gut told me this was important. I sat down next to the crack, unwilling to leave this new, confusing streak on the wall.

“Ms Shores? Ms Shores, can you hear me? If you can hear me, can you move your eyes?”

I woke up suddenly again, to a voice. However, this one was unfamiliar. Nonetheless, I moved my eyes around, hoping to hear a voice, any voice apart from my own.

“24th of November. Three months. Still no reaction. Sorry Ellie, but your parents and I think it’s time to pull the plug. Wake up.

For their sake.”

The voice receded, and I was left once again in my own thoughts. I had no idea what the person was talking about.

Wake up? How? I was encased inside the wall. How could I escape? What was on the other side? I didn’t know, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to find out. There were too many questions.

There was another fresh mark on the left wall now, this time where the new voice had come from. The stone there looked thinner and lighter, and I wasn’t quite sure what to do. Then another voice came into play. A woman’s voice. It was so agonisingly familiar, like I knew who it was, but couldn’t quite place it.

“Ellie. Please wake up. Please. It’s Mum.” Mum. That one word that I hadn’t heard in ages. Suddenly I was flooded with memories. Me at six years old, my parents swinging me at a playground. The time when I was nine, throwing a tantrum over a Christmas present. But how had I ended up here? Was this a punishment? I didn’t know. My family.

They were on the other side of the wall. I knew it.

“Mr and Mrs Shores, you don’t have to do this. We can give it more time -.” The voice was cut off by someone else.

“I’m sorry, Doctor. We’ve decided. It’s time to let go.”

The new voice cracked with emotion. I was unsure what to do. All I knew in this lonely life was stone, bumps, and cracks.

Cracks. I remembered the newly formed cracks. They had seemed significant before. I hurried over to one of them. The stone felt weak. For the first time since being here, I pulled at the stone. Nothing. I grasped and scrabbled and heaved, until, abruptly, the stone slipped out. It wasn’t a big gap, barely the size of a brick, but I could see the other side. People, family, friends. Mine.

And suddenly, I was free.

Pirouetting out of Society’s Shackles; Boys and Ballet JOLYON HARRISON-MURRAY, YEAR 10 I rotate the doorknob clockwise and creak the door open ever so slightly until - BAM. There I am. Hunched in the corridor feeling like an utter fool decked out in ridiculous pumps and blue tights ready for my ballet class; a victim of my gender stereotyped upbringing. Through exposure to ballet, it is a certainty that boys would be able to express themselves, socialise, and enjoy a beautiful art form, plus maybe even fantasise about being Billy Elliot, if our fundamentally flawed stereotypes were destabilised.

Through the understanding of the stigma, lack of exposure and forfeited benefits we can begin to comprehend why ballet boys are part of a minuscule, discriminated minority and the desperate requirement for change.

Frail, feminine and homosexual; these are just a small quota of the names that generations have carelessly associated with boys who do ballet. The concern that ballet is not for boys is not a hasty, trendy decision, it’s a deep-rooted stereotype issue, years old. From their first plié, boys suffer from the predicament of having 72% of people presume they possess a homosexual sexual orientation, and subsequently suffer from discrimination.

From youth, we are indoctrinated that boys should pursue an AFL flag and girls should seek the apparently easily attainable, principal ballerina position. As of 2016, 612,000 5-14- year olds participated in AFL while only a mere 41,000 boys were enlightened to the tremendous satisfaction of dancing. Our stereotypes fundamentally revolve around ideas such as boys sporting tutus and tiaras, connotations not associated with boy ballet contrary to these misconceptions we have formed. Our critical judgements irreversibly decimate the artistry of boys.

What would you make of a boy doing ballet? For one little girl at the studio on my first day it meant bursting into tears, undoubtedly traumatised by the sight of me in tights. But also, because from all of her experiences, being exposed to a boy doing ballet was something she couldn’t say she had experienced. No boy is ever told to hang up posters of Rudolf Nureyev like they do Nic Natanui because they are promptly influenced by gender expectations and never exposed to these alternative superstars. The lack of exposure and conformation to stereotypes by our parents and guardians consequently manifests into generations of lost potential talent and strangled human expression.

People’s hesitance to endorse boy ballet results in blindness to the honest benefits of what this unique art achieves. In a world of freeway-like sounds we call pop music we have depreciated the value of true classical music, the rhythmical roots of modern music, something ballet aims to remedy. It helps bridge the segregation between girls and boys in a world of single-sex schools and socialising. Furthermore, a boy’s social interaction and emotional intelligence have been scientifically proven to be enhanced through the tuition of ballet. This evidence leads to one final thought; if similar physicality can be achieved, stunning art can be performed and you are 76 percent less likely to get injured, why do we let outdated stereotypes define us?

In 2000, Billy Elliot showed the world that ballet was not just girls being fairies, but rather an astounding art that enhanced the human mind and body. The poisonous stereotype of ballet dancers constrain many boys, however in the last decade more boys have breached our unhealthy societal restrictions to the tune of numerous benefits. This progression demonstrates the necessity to persist with the advocation of the benefits of ballet because it has been proven to enhance qualities we often deem superfluous and, at the end of the day, real men lift women, not weights.

Imbibe With Me For My Child Sees

BY LEWIS MILLER, YEAR 12

ASHLEY EDGAR, YEAR 11

How young he is before he sets,

Here lieth the bed of freedom, sanctified

How natural, how true he seems.

Imbibe with me this taste so heavenly

Showing his journey’s hardly begun

Within these walls ’pon London’s earthly shore

Before torn down beneath the sea,

We fly from poppy seed to eastern war

Left to burn with you and me.

Where seated Emperor ’pon jaded throne Does greet us under sun that empire crowned.

And when he sets, he’s brightest yet, He’s bright, he’s light, and effervescent.

Of Eastern desert kingdom Shahs do reign,

Yet still dragged deep down below,

This Persian land within our reach, but feigns

To join us in this gloomy glow;

Its mysteries laid out upon our laps

To burn up all his childhood’s growth.

The peak’d domes that dot this landscape burnt, What hidden treasure these lands do conceal

How cold, how dark, is childhood once ended?

To civil man here lies the great appeal.

A dreadful life to be led.

With dark and age comes reign and sight,

We are the travellers to an antique land,

But is it worth the frozen bed?

Where these stones did fall to craven hand,

How it is to live within your head?

What Aegypt stood is now a Moslem home, Crawl on Sphinx fac’d city; dying light

But when adjusted to the night,

An ecstasy of sunset hits the sand,

You can’t help but praise

And a farewell to wrecks that once stood, grand.

The sight, the subtlety above, Up in the night, and in the stars.

Raise your pupils high to skies above, Here gold flows from pores of Mali-land

Pocket of Peace GEORGE SHARRIN, YEAR 9 The golden hearth poises high to warm my mellow face, As the frail hand of English breeze caresses my hair.

Tepid light blankets the tiny meadow and stones, Sown by rushing wind and gradual tender wear.

A small patch of meadow, taken from sacred field, Rests among the weathered stones Its tender grass drifting between my quiet steps, As I walk to rest upon a wooden throne.

Delicate blue bells ring in tones to songs of the golden wren As the bumblebee’s wings deepen nature’s symphony Purple mallows climb upon the crowded trellis wall To preach for the hearth’s divinity.

The woven tomato plant expels its acrid scent, To blend with nature’s pungent breeze.

It weaves and twists around the mossy, tuck-point bricks And forms a labyrinth of green for humming bees.

The pale-tussock caterpillar nests upon the gourd plant As the crab spider guards the flaming poppy The soiled raven perches upon the towering hedge wall And shrieks a call he seeks one to copy.

The choir of songs and tender breeze Sing the song that’ll never cease As the blooming plants of English love Fulfil my pocket of peace.

146 | Celebrating the Arts

Berber hands that join from palm to palm Across Tunisie; lines up with my eyes Markets of rugs and incense, essence, furs Wealth and beauty lives here evermore.

But there is not our London town, here Where the necks go up, and bodies go down I can hear the cries within Whitechapel With people ’pon the ground weeping, O Lord I pray tonight as I have prayed before, Let this chi’ld of mine be peace forevermore.

ATHLETICS The Scotch athletics season was a short yet very successful one with Scotch winning the Quads and the Interschool carnivals.

Lucas Triglavcanin and Lincoln Allan Co-Captains of Athletics

The outstanding effort of all of the competitors and coaches across the short four-week season epitomised our values of mateship and team spirit as a collective and as a school The athletics season started in the July holidays, with boys across all disciplines attending morning running training to get the season started early. The large turnout of boys showed our determination and desire to win the trophy again this year. After the conclusion of Winter sport, the athletics season was officially underway with people starting to train for all of the events.

As Mr Doney often said, if you attend three sessions a week it is only 4.5 hours

148 | Sport

a week of commitment to this team.

The boys certainly took this message on board and the attendances were terrific throughout the season. After a hard week on the track, the boys had their first meet at the Memorial Grounds for the annual House Athletics Carnival. The day was in doubt due to the weather forecast, so full credit goes to Mr Foster and his staff for running the day so smoothly. The high standard of the interschool carnival proved our talent, as the competition across all year groups was fierce.

After getting our first runs under our belt, the boys came out roaring the following week at the Quads, assuring the shield would stay at Shenton Road for another year, placing 697.5 points clear of second place. We took on board everything we had learnt the previous couple of weeks into our reduced training loads the

following week to assure we were fit and firing for the Inters.

The main message we gave the boys ahead of the inters was to leave everything on the track, and not ask ourselves ‘what if?’ after our respective events. The boys couldn’t have taken this message on board any better, and a number of records and personal bests were achieved by the team, which ultimately was the backbone to our second consecutive Alcock Shield victory.

Finally, we would like to say a massive thank you to all the coaches who helped out throughout the season, in particular Mr Doney the Head of Athletics, Mr Foster the Head of Sport and Mr Gale for his dedication to all aspects of the team.

ATHLETICS TEAM

BADMINTON Badminton at Scotch has had quite a successful season.

Thomas Allan Captain of Badminton

With a first-round loss against Aquinas, the Firsts had a shaky start to the season, but we fought hard, dug deep, and won the next six out of seven matches. This included both rounds against Wesley, one of the notoriously challenging teams of the competition.

Our second match against Christ Church was the deciding match to whether we would stay in the running for the cup, but unfortunately, we had a 7-2 loss. The second last fixture was against Hale, and with two key Firsts players away on a School tour, we ended with a 6-3 loss. This solidified Hale’s win of the Brother Kelly Cup for 2019, whilst we finished second on the ladder.

The Firsts and Seconds were coached and managed by Mr Ryan Foster, assisted by OSC’s Andrew Singh and Harrison Banfield. The work they put in both in and out of training hours is greatly appreciated, including getting up early on their Saturday mornings. They’re always up for a game in training, and the on and off court banter is something I won’t forget.

All the teams put in a lot of hard work this year, despite several interruptions to training and matches. The manner in which they all turned up to training and games was very respectable, and it helped the sessions to run smoothly.

Special mention to the Year 12s Zac Kwek, Steve Li, Seb Barrett and Ben Lilburne, who were all instrumental in organising and helping out this year. Thanks to the other First players: Max Weir, Milan Narula, and Tim Imison. Thank you also to Rory Bruce, Seb Barrett, Ned Gaffey for stepping up and playing in the Firsts with very little notice. The teams for 2020 and 2021 are looking promising, considering the strong Year 10 cohort. Thanks for the year – it’s been an honour captaining you.

A huge thank you to the parents who came and supported us every Saturday, and generously provided a morning tea after every match for us to devour.

BASKETBALL We were given the privilege of co-captaining the Scotch First V Basketball team on our mission for back to back Blackwood Cups.

Harry Imison and Nathan Thomas Co-Captains of Basketball

With seven returning members from the previous season’s winning team, there was an underlying expectation on the team to perform. Furthermore, the newly introduced 12 game Summer sport season meant from the outset the team had to be prepared and ready to go.

The season began against a strong Guildford team and we were pushed to our limits, in an 8-point victory. The game showcased the strength of the PSA from top to bottom and highlighted how each team would bring its best game each week. The next two rounds we faced Christ Church and Wesley. The team played at a high pace and was able to blow out both games in the second half.

Unbeaten Aquinas was next up, and a strong defensive performance restricted their scoring to just 11 points in the first quarter, the game finishing 71-50. We then faced Hale with a 73-57 win and for our final game of 2018 we face unbeaten Trinity on a Friday night at the Scotch

gym. The support from the School was incredible and was a significant factor in the team’s victory.

still in the balance, a quiet 40 points from Liam Kiel sealed the game and an undefeated season.

Training commenced in January where we played a scratch match against the Perry Lakes D-League team who featured previous Scotch Basketball Captains. It was perfect preparation for what ended up being arguably the toughest three games of our entire season. Hale and Trinity were accounted for in very physical, competitive encounters. At Guildford, a game-tying layup rimmed out giving us a 2-point win; Guildford used their elite shooting and rebounding to pressure the Scotch team all game. However, with some CJ screaming and lots of stress we got the 75-73 win.

One of the most important things we will take away from our time is the importance of placing the team first. As much as talent is important, the most valuable asset in any team is the ability to be unselfish. We will always cherish being part of such a selfless, hardworking and humble team.

Victory over Christ Church paired with Wesley upsetting Aquinas placed one of our hands on the trophy. Wesley travelled to Scotch and a strong performance resulted in a 36-point victory. The dream of going back to back was realised! In the final game for many of the boys PSA careers, we faced an Aquinas side that had something to prove after their surprise loss to Wesley.

CRICKET The season started well with a win against Guildford Grammar side.

Benjamin Gale Captain of Cricket

The team eased to victory and highlighted the threat it would present with a very balanced bowling attack and a sturdy batting line up.

Unfortunately, this was followed up with a rather disappointing result against a rather intimidating Christ Church team.

Scotch bowled first and let Christ Church’s score slip away to a healthy 210. Scotch then went out and struggled early right from the word go. Only one player passed double digits, and as a result of this we were bowled out for a low of 39. Scotch College followed up the next game with a narrow defeat to Wesley by only 6 runs and a 64-run defeat against Aquinas.

Our second last game of the Spring Term season was one of our best results of the season with a comfortable victory against a strong Hale lineup on quite a scary pitch. Scotch lost the toss and were sent into bat, and achieved a modest score of 135. Caleb Evans and Arun Tibballs had an exceptional opening spell and set the foundation for our victory. Scotch

ended recording a solid 68 run win. Our final match of the term ended in a very disappointing result against Trinity, going down by five runs.

We started our first two games of Summer Term with two losses against the top two sides, Hale and Trinity. Round three saw us play Guilford Grammar on a rather flat deck where we managed to muster up a respectable 192 and bowl Guilford out for 150, taking us to quite a comfortable victory. Next up was Christ Church on a rather wet and green wicket.

Christ Church sent Scotch in to bat where we struggled and were bowled out for just above 100 before the end of the day.

Upon arrival the next day, the forecast was looking dark, which resulted in no ball being bowled that day and an abandoned match.

Our last game at the Gooch against Wesley wasn’t quite the fairytale ending.

Scotch lost the toss and were bowling first. Wesley made a target of 169. We once again struggled with the bat, managing only 66 runs. Our last game against Aquinas was one to remember for all of us. Aquinas sent us in on their

home wicket. A few wickets were lost early, however we managed to rebuild and make a very respectable 258. The bowling was once again superb across all of our bowlers where we managed to bowl them out for 91.

Other notable mentions for the season must go to the three other senior teams and the successful seasons they had, in particular the mighty undefeated Fourth XI, led by Connor Lenny (Year 12 Anderson).

Many thanks must go out to the Parent Support Group for their hard work all season, as well as to Mr Wingfield for helping out coaching and managing the team. Other thanks go out to the specialist coaches Mr Ken Lillie with his bowling expertise and Mr Williams helping out with the batting every Thursday before school. Finally, a huge thanks goes to Head Coach Mr Dean Holder. Scotch Cricket appreciate his love and passion for the game and love having him as coach with the knowledge and experience he brings with him.

CROSS COUNTRY The Cross Country season this year is best summarised as potential over performance.

Conor Bartlett Captain of Cross Country

We began with an away loss to eventual cup winners, Aquinas, but then started to string together a series of strong victories by a talented group of athletes.

Gutsy and consistent performances

by Josh Keatch, Kane Kennedy, Oscar Clements, Toby Knox Little and Tane Hasler helped the team to establish a healthy points tally, and it was especially pleasing to watch the development and personal growth of younger runners like Rowan Baldwin, Banjo Harold, Henry Feutrill and Jack Cooke. Under the motivational direction and guidance of veteran coach Anthony Doney, the boys had a real sense of unity and drive and multiple wins followed over Trinity, Hale, Guildford, Wesley and Christ Church.

One of the side-effects of competitive running is the terrific sense of selfachievement when you continue to improve and better your best, and it was fantastic to witness so much genuine, weekly improvement from hard-working

team members like Lachie Malloch, Sam Johnston, Oscar Harold and Chris Merritt.

of hospitality that others find difficult to match – superb effort as always.

The highlight of this spirit and endeavour was the All Schools 3km relay at Hale, where despite depleted numbers on the day through injury and sickness, the Scotch team showed real grunt and determination to finish a very close second to Aquinas. Unfortunately, the season was marked by key absences that badly affected team results when it mattered. The term break had an effect on momentum and this, combined with some disappointing attitudes to training attendance, saw an end to the possibility of taking out the prestigious Moyes trophy. In the final analysis, the team ended in third position, but it was not a real reflection of its potential.

Credit for a solid season goes chiefly to the continued commitment and passion of Mr Doney and with so many younger boys ready to shine, the future is certainly bright. Keep your eyes on AJ Merry, Mason Ness and Heath Muller in coming years.

That 42 year Cup drought has got to be broken soon. Go Scotch.

In terms of real talent, a special mention should also go to Josh Keatch, Kane Kennedy and Tane Hasler, who qualified for the Nationals in Sydney.

Importantly, a big debt of thanks to the dedicated parents of our school who selflessly provide marshalling duties and delicious morning teas to set the standards

FOOTBALL The 2019 season was yet another successful season that was experienced by boys across Year 5 to Year 12.

Oscar Grant Captain of Football

There were some great successes experienced by Scotch football across all year groups that highlighted the strength and depth of the future of Scotch Football. The Year 10’s experienced an undefeated season under the coaching of Mr Jahn, which depicts the possible successes that Football are going to experience as they move into their senior years.

This growth and development was also a significant feature of the First XVIII with a young and inexperienced side that finished the season with six wins, six losses, placing us fourth on the ladder below Hale, Aquinas and Christ Church, and above Trinity, Guildford and Wesley.

Although the season came with great highs and low points, it was a very memorable season for all who got to experience playing.

This year we started Round One with 14 new faces, including our newly appointed Head Coach Steve Malaxos. By the end of the season, a total of 32 boys represented

Scotch at the highest level of Football with great pride and honour.

experience some impressive successes in the coming years.

The season was very memorable for all, no moment more memorable than beating the defending Alcock Cup winners, Aquinas, in our second encounter for the season at the Memorial Ground.

The team played at their highest level, as a team and full of enjoyment that saw Scotch walk away with four points. An impressive third quarter performance saw the boys have a lead of 10 goals before a gutsy fourth quarter performance saw Aquinas surge back into the game.

On behalf of all the First XV111 squad, I would like to thank the coaches in Mr Stephen Malaxos, Mr Nick Guard, Mr Darren Mumford and Mitch Clark, whose valuable knowledge were a crucial element for our individual and collective successes. To the support network of team managers, physios, SOFAS committee and all the parents who were vital for getting the team out each week, we say a big thank you for all your efforts.

The Year 12s had a very memorable season, winning two important games; remembering our mate Mo Maslin against Wesley as well as out at Guildford, where 12 boys pulled on the jumper for the very last time.

Although the season was marred by injury, the 2019 Scotch Football was one that was enjoyable for all who played. The future of Scotch Football is looking bright and one that both coaches and players are excited about. With a young playing group and strong developing cohorts, it is very clear that Scotch Football is going to

GOLF The Scotch Golf Team for 2019, comprising Jack Tylich (Year 9), Cooper Stanley (Year 9), Liam Peters-Smith (Year 12), Tom Patterson (Year 12), Owen Goodliffe (Year 12) and Lucas Ferri (Year 12), competed in the annual PSA Golf tournament on the 31st May at the Royal Perth Golf Club.

Lucas Ferri Captain of Golf

Conditions for the shot-gun start were ideal, with our boys being assigned to various holes on the course to complete their rounds of stroke play. The greens that day were very slick, too!

The conspicuous ‘club-house’ winner of the day was Tom Patterson, who carded a bogey-free 68, which is an amazing score. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough to get Scotch over the line with Trinity College winning the day, by just 6 shots, as the team with the lowest fourman aggregate.

It was fantastic to see some of our younger golfers, Jack Tylich and Cooper Stanley, compete in this event for the first time. The future brigade of Scotch golfers looks promising.

Well done to all of our competitors who, typically, represented the College with composure and humility. A big thank you goes to Mr James Bridle and Mr Wade Wingfield who assisted on the day. The Royal Perth Golf Club needs acknowledgement for their continued support of the PSA Golf Tournament.

HOCKEY The 2019 Scotch Hockey season was definitely a memorable experience for all years involved.

Darcy Owen Captain of Hockey

With a total of 18 teams, Scotch has one of the best hockey programmes in the PSA, evident with success seen throughout all teams, from the Year 9As finishing undefeated for the third season in a row, to the Seconds, coached by Mr Freitag, who finished equal first. It was also great to see old Scotch boys Cameron Murie and former captain Dan Walker come back to coach two of the Scotch teams.

The 1st XI season started with a class session in which the values of the team were set from the start: commitment, hard work, accountability, respect and teamwork. These values were agreed upon by all the players and would be the foundation for this year’s culture within Scotch hockey. With only four players leaving the Scotch XI team, the majority of players had already been playing with each other in school and club hockey giving us confidence going into the season.

The season began with comfortable opening wins against Aquinas and Trinity, but an unfortunate loss against Wesley would be the first test for the Scotch team. We would later go on to have four consecutive wins putting us in contention to win the Ray House Cup with only three games to go. The season finished with two tough losses against co-winners, Christ Church and Hale. Finishing in third place was certainly not the aim going into the season, however, being the only school to defeat Christ Church was a testament to all boys involved.

for Scotch Hockey, something he’s been doing since 1978!

The Parent Support Group was once again extraordinary in their assistance to the Scotch Hockey programme and the season couldn’t have run as smoothly without you all. To the Year 12s, thank you all for everything you’ve contributed to Hockey at Scotch. It’s been an extremely enjoyable journey that I hope has been as great for you as it has been for me.

Huge thanks must go to all of the coaches throughout all year groups.

In particular, thanks to Dave Staniforth for coaching the 1st XI making the season enjoyable for all involved. Fraser Jilley fulfilled his role as Assistant Coach perfectly, bringing years of invaluable 1st XI experience to share with everyone.

Furthermore, thanks to Ms Blythe for keeping both the seconds and firsts teams organised throughout the entire season, and a special mention goes to Mr Peter Freitag who continued his tireless work

ROWING The Scotch College Boat Club competed strongly throughout the 2019 season.

Matthew Moore Captain of Boats

At the Head of the River, our First VIII finished third to Christ Church and Hale. In the Hamer Cup, we finished a disappointing sixth place, missing fifth place by just one point.

Our only winning crew on the day was our Year 10A VIII who were undefeated all season. A very fine effort.

It was a busy season for the Boat Club with two camps and a tour. The camps took place in October in Albany, and the usual January camp at Champion Lakes. Whilst we can only tour once every two years, the camps at home have become an essential part of preparation for the regattas in Summer Term.

Spring Term saw us compete at two time trials, one at Aquinas College and the other at Guildford Grammar. These events are popular with the boys as they are our first chance to test ourselves against other schools.

The Rowing Tour to Berri in South Australia – mentioned above – was a resounding success with good racing against schools and Clubs at this country regatta. As the Year 10 boys joined the Tour, it gave the senior boys an opportunity to get to know them better over the seven days of the tour.

Summer Term consisted of five lead up regattas (one of which was held at Trinity), and the Head of the River on Saturday 23rd of March.

Our Year 9 boys were up against it, with some Year 8 boys required to bolster our

small numbers in this division. However, there was no lack of endeavour from these boys! The 10s enjoyed a good season with regular places and wins by the 10As. In the senior division, late injuries to two boys hampered our efforts in the Second VIII, with flow on to the Third and Fourth VIIIs. Plenty of effort was applied, but the results were not what we had hoped for.

Finally, my thanks also to the Rowing Parent Support Group who were well led by Mrs Sophie Moore and Mrs Lisa Briggs. They did a fantastic job feeding everyone. A big thanks must also go to the coaching team who prepared our crews to a high standard, and to Head of Rowing, Mr Ford, for his management of the Boat Club.

Best wishes to all boys for the coming season.

RUGBY The 2019 Rugby season was characterised by the hardships, development and eventual overcoming of difficulties.

Jack Jagger Vice-Captain of Rugby

The season started on the Scotch ovals in the Autumn holidays and in the gym even before that. The dedication of the boys to their sport was already showing before they had even put on the maroon and gold. Pre-season ended this year with a Rugby tournament hosted at Scotch which was an amazing privilege to have, allowing us to play teams from around Australia.

The first PSA game was a rough wakeup call to the team; we weren’t the same side from last year and nothing was given to us. Unfortunately, the first game against Trinity was lost, but also revealed just how

much potential the team had. The next three games were also losses, but each week major improvements were made by the boys giving more than 100 percent at each training. Finally, they were rewarded for their efforts, taking the game against Guildford with a convincing margin.

From there the team’s goal was not to lose again. In the second half of the season, we took back our wins from Trinity and Wesley with strong performances as both a team and individuals, displaying how much we had worked and improved. Our next game was against Christ Church, the comp’s victor. While delivering an outstanding performance compared to our first games, we were unable to knock Christ Church off. This didn’t sully the spirits of the team, taking back another

win from Hale and finishing the season off in a respectable third place, an amazing comeback from what was a disappointing start to the season.

It was amazing playing alongside the team this year. As a Year 12 whose rugby experience prior to the First XV was filled with adversities and failure, it was an honour to be a leader to the Year 11s and 10s in the team and I am grateful for your contribution. With the team consisting of a majority of Year 11s, I am excited to see what is to come in your future.

To the coaches Mr Creighton and Mr Wood, Mr Foster, parents and the College Ground Staff, your contribution has allowed us to do our best and much of our success can be attributed to you.

SAILING Scotch sailing is one of the smaller sports at the College.

Thomas Hodge Captain of Sailing

It is also unique in a sense, in that our entire regular season builds to a single event: the WA State Schools Team Racing Championships. Two days of racing between the best sailing schools in the state, with regulars Shenton College and the old enemy Christ Church Grammar School offering the stiffest opposition.

Entering the finals in first place on the back of a successful round robin series, a tight 2-1 loss to second place CCGS Gold in the prelims sent Scotch Gold to a knock-out semi against Shenton, fighting for a spot in the Grand Final. We didn’t train to lose, and as the breeze picked up, so did our game.

We knocked out the Shenton unit 2-0, avenging Scotch Maroon who’d finished

a credible fourth after their hopes of a 1, 2 Scotch were quashed 2-1 in the prelims.

Sailors came onshore for a brief meeting, where Coach Andrew Briggs OSC ’16 gave a rousing last-minute speech. Breeze was up, waves frothy, and the boys could taste the salt of victory. These were our conditions. From the moment the first gun went, I knew we could do this. Gassing the Christ Church team off the starts and building dominance with supremely superior speed, we won the title in a comfortable 3-0, for the fourth time in five years. It was an elite showing, and I’d like to thank our coaches Andrew Briggs, Liam Seagreen, Mike Davies, Emerson Carlberg, and Adam Brenz-Verca, and coordinator Brad Watson for putting in the care and effort over the years to help us reach this point.

Following on from our success at states, we booked our Winter Sport exemptions and got to work preparing for the nationals held in Tasmania. We’d like to thank Mr Watson and Coach Andrew for their further commitment to attending this trip with us. A week out and the boys were salivating over the forecasted 20kts+ breeze expected to last the duration of the event, but alas, the best wind we had all regatta came on the practice day. A regatta largely sailed in sub 5kts, we struggled to convert our mighty States showing to anything of note, and although a certain mark rounding pile up will haunt our dreams for seasons to come, we had a pretty awesome trip. My personal highlight amongst a long list of the boys’ adventures was flying the Scotch speedos at the top of Mount Wellington, a bet lost by capsizing on practice day, a mere 45mins after the bet was set.

SOCCER All Soccer age groups had an extremely successful year over the 2019 season, showing growth in camaraderie, spirit, and skillset as the season progressed.

Lucas Triglavcanin Co-Captain of Soccer

The First XI Soccer team approached the 2019 season with a reputation to uphold, after previous successes; winning the league in the past two years. It was maybe this pressure which led to the first game being a 3-1 loss to Aquinas away from home, and then a 3-3 draw against Trinity, giving the season an early roadblock. Our first win came against Wesley, which was followed up by a 3-1 derby win against Christ Church which put the season back on track.

The next biggest challenge was playing an undefeated Hale, challenging a great team with an injury-riddled side. Their talent proved too strong as we lost 4-1, leaving the first half of the season with some memorable moments but also some to forget.

Two unfortunate 2-2 and 1-1 draws against Aquinas and Trinity put the PSA title nearly out of grasp as the season started to come to a close. This was followed up by three determined wins

against Wesley, Christ Church, and Guildford again in order to try and secure a second-place finish.

The final game was against Hale, the biggest fixture of the season against the title winners, as there was a lot of pride on the line after not being able to win the trophy due to all of the draws throughout the year. This game was a big test of where we were at as a squad, with a hard-fought 2-1 victory epitomizing our values of strength and courage as a team. With this, the First XI finished second in the 2019 season, just shy of a third trophy in three years.

their consistent commitment to providing the best fields for all of the boys, and to all of the supporting staff, referees and managers who ensured this season flowed smoothly, thank you.

It has been a pleasure for Gyles Davies and me to Co-Captain the 2019 Soccer season and we wish all of the boys the best in the years to come.

The commitment and dedication shown by all the boys across all of the year groups is a great credit to the Soccer programme and to Scotch College. I would like to thank all of the coaching staff for the work in coaching and developing all of the players throughout the season; without you, none of this could be possible.

I would also like to thank Mr Richard Foster for all of his work behind the scenes, along with the ground staff for

SURFING Fuelled by the success of previous years, the 2019 Scotch Surfing team met and exceeded the expectation placed on them.

Charlie Castleden Captain of Surfing

Led by boys who had been in the team for years and with new talent coming through from Middle School, it was safe to say that there was a feeling of excitement from everyone involved heading into the season.

Arguably the most looked forward to event for the Scotch Surfing team was the PSA Surfing competition. Due to previous years of success and a very talented team, we were eager to once again compete against rival schools and retain the shield. After calling the event off due to a lack of swell, the competition was held later in larger and windier conditions.

Notwithstanding this, the senior surfers

paddled out for their tag team event.

Midway during this heat, a strong SW gust of wind managed to pick up half of the tents, which flew ten metres before landing and being caught by the boys and supervisors. Thankfully no one was injured, but on that note the competition was called off. Sadly, the competition could not be rescheduled due to clashes with schooling.

Two days prior to the PSA, the Surfing WA Metropolitan State rounds were held in surprisingly perfect conditions with light offshore winds and 3-4 foot running waves on offer. Here the boys were able to display the depth and talent of the Scotch team with four teams making the semifinals in their respective divisions. Due to these results, the Scotch team once again

took out the event, adding another trophy to the cabinet. In the end, we had Jack Mickle and Mack Young winning the junior surfing division and Thomas Bennet and myself winning the senior surfing category.

These two teams will surf against surfers from around the State on a later date.

The success of the boys could not be achieved without the coordination and support from Mr Rugg and Mr Wisniewski, who have continually aided and cultivated the Scotch Surfing team over the years.

They have sacrificed a lot of time for the programme and we are glad we could do them proud. Also, a huge thank you to parents for driving boys to the competition and supporting them throughout the day. I wish the younger years all the best for the surfing seasons to come.

SWIMMING The 2019 swimming season has been one of change, with the focus of the season being put on improving team culture.

Joshua Turibaka and Callum Griffiths Co-Captains of Swimming

To complement this focus, the School has invested in new infrastructure, including new dive blocks, lane ropes and pool covers. In addition, there has been a new team of coaches. The culture we have been striving to achieve is building a culture of peer encouragement to inspire the best out of all squad members.

One of the most satisfying changes that has happened is the individual growth and achievements seen in the swimmers who have pushed themselves outside their comfort zone. This season the squad decided to combine with the PLC team, and the presence of these new students has also made a positive change.

162 | Sport

The pre-season began with sessions last term, extending over the summer holidays.

The sessions in the mornings over the holidays tested the commitment each swimmer had to the Scotch Swimming squad. What was most promising was the consistent attendance of boys through the holidays and into this term.

Despite the end result of sixth place at the Inter-School Swimming Carnival, there has been ongoing success in making personal bests throughout the season.

It has been really positive to see the development of the young talent, and we have no doubt that the swimming programme will see success in the near future with some of the strongest swimming cohorts we have seen coming up.

The personal achievements of all the individual swimmers and the overall growth in the swimming squad would not have been possible without the support of all the swimming coaches, staff and parent helpers. We would like to thank Mr Burt, Mr Gabriels, Mr Grant, and Mrs Scott for their assistance in supporting the Scotch swim squad. We would also like to thank Ceinwen Roberts as the new Head Coach of the Scotch and PLC Swimming squads, as well as all the other coaches who have supported the Scotch swimming team this season.

Finally, we wish to thank all the individual swimmers who have committed to improving their swimming this season.

There has been a noticeable difference in the attendance at training which is really positive.

TENNIS This year saw the beginning of a new structure in the W.R. Corr Cup competition, with the introduction of a double season of fixtures, so that each of the PSA schools played each other twice.

Jaye Marzec Captain of Tennis

Scotch started the competition in October 2018 against Guildford Grammar School. It seemed the weather was still going to be a contributing factor. Playing at Guildford the weather was overcast, and after a delay the courts dried. When play began, it was important to win 13 sets to win the rubber. Only 16 sets could be completed before the rain halted play. It was a fortunate beginning with Scotch winning the 16 sets to nil.

The second rubber was against Christ Church Grammar and would be our biggest challenge. The match was close with a number of young members playing. After a courageous effort Scotch fell short, losing 13 sets to 11. We would have a second opportunity in the second round to play off against the 2018 Corr Cup victors. The remainder of the rubber was as expected with Scotch winning comfortably against the remaining schools.

The second round against Hale was a confident 21 sets to three wins. This trend was to continue against all schools. We looked forward to the opportunity to play Christ Church again. A win would give us a share of the cup.

managers. The high standard of tennis points to many successes in coming years, with many young boys with lots of talent coming through. We also thank our Year 12s who have supported the team and encouraged the younger boys.

The 9th of March 2019 began with the return of rain, which did not abate during the entire morning. With the failure to get on the courts, our opportunity to share the Cup disappeared.

Results:

Despite the disappointment, the team finished the competition in clear second with no schools close in rubbers to Christ Church and ourselves. Acknowledgement goes to Mr Jack Dowland who has coached the team, and the Rev. Chas Lewis, who has managed the team for the past 30 years and has dedicated a remarkable amount of time and effort into this team. As a result, he has produced a team that is respected highly by all other schools in the PSA for their tennis ability and sportsmanship.

TRIATHLON This season of Triathlon saw the end of an era for five of our Year 12 students.

Benji Steinberg and Owen Edgar Co-Captains

Many were part of the inaugural Triathlon group that was formed by Mr Felgate in 2013. They have continued with their involvement through Middle and Senior School and have been instrumental in the growth and development of the sport, both as a club and a PSA option. They have nurtured younger boys patiently, while maintaining their own training, often going above and beyond expectation. It is with sadness we say goodbye to our Year 12 mentors Benji Steinberg, Owen Edgar, Jock Sutherland, Conor Bartlett and Jamie Coulson and we wish them a successful rest of the year.

This season we saw some great results from the Triathlon boys. Our Year 6 boys Reid Knox Lyttle, Stewart Graves, Luke Rorke and Jack Boylson competed in their first Triathlon at Mullaloo in the Bolt Distance. Josh Keatch (Year 11) came in first overall in this distance, smashing out a 4.03 pace on the run leg. In the Sprint Distance, Jarvis Banfield (Year 10) came in 12th overall and Hayden Coombes took out third place in the Duathlon. Some of our parents also competed at Mullaloo and took out podium finishes, to the surprise of their sons. Overall, we had a lovely sunny day with good ocean water conditions. The looks on the faces of the boys after finishing their race were an indication that all the training had been well worth it!

Congratulations to Jackson Conti (Year 8) and James MacGeorge (Year 10) for being awarded the Coaches Award this year, and the Triathlete of the Year is Josh Keatch.

A big thank you to Seb Evans and Jamie Baldwin for their coaching expertise, organisation and enthusiasm.

VOLLEYBALL The First Volleyball team of 2018/2019 were put to the test to follow in the success of last year’s Scotch Team. The majority of the team were new to playing at a first level but rose to the challenge.

Alexander Van Hoek Captain of Volleyball

With the loss of key players, the team struggled initially to gain a foothold in the standings in the PSA competition, with the first half of the season not producing the results that we were aiming for.

During the Summer break, the team toured to the AVSC (Australian Volleyball Schools Competition) in Melbourne. We came back revitalised for the season ahead. Now, with more experience, strong team cohesion and a new-found passion for volleyball, we were able to

secure two victories against Christ Church and Guildford Grammar. We also put up a monumental challenge to the top team Aquinas, pushing Aquinas to their limits with only a few points the difference in each set.

Thanks must be given to Dylan Wood (coach) and Oscar Burke (manager), who supported the team through adversity, and also made an invaluable contribution on the AVSC tour. They dedicated considerable hours to ensuring the betterment of the Scotch team.

Looking back to the start of the season, we knew we would be facing significant competition, and that we had to build a strong culture. I am happy with the match experience and skill development gained from this season. I look forward to seeing the next line of leaders continue to represent Scotch College.

Thank you parents for the early Tuesday and Thursday drop-offs and Saturday matches, and for the continued support through the season.

WATER POLO First of all, I would like to thank Mr Foster, Mr Tresise, Mr Keatch, Mr Seress and everyone at Scotch College who was involved in the running of the Water Polo programme this season.

Benjamin Marshall Captain of Water Polo

I’d also like to thank the boys and all the players for their work this year.

It has been a good season for Scotch; we have had a lot of players coming to the training sessions and it was great to see how they improved. Finishing in the third position is great, even if we had to share it with the team from Aquinas College.

Both terms, we beat the three bottom teams easily - Guildford, Trinity and Wesley. During Spring Term we did not succeed in the other games, even by applying more pressure.

Christ Church and Hale proved to be stronger than us, but against the Aquinas boys we

had our least successful game where nothing worked out the way it should have.

In Summer Term, we have come back stronger and managed to play better games even against the two top teams, especially the Hale match where we only lost in the last few minutes of the game. I must add that this was our first game in the term and also the first game exposing our younger players, trying to build them into the team. Only the two favourites could beat us which is something that we must be proud of with such a young team. Summer Term 2019 was the better term overall without a doubt and we finished it off with a confident and convincing win and mature play against the boys from Aquinas. This was our best

game, very pleasing to coach and watch the play as the boys have shown their best team performance in the season, with Benjamin Marshall’s leadership in attack and Julian Kyriakou’s guidance in the defensive work. We have had many outstanding individual performances in the water, but I would not like to make a long list about that now. Our team applied all the tactical and technical skills with the necessary patience and discipline in the water during the final game. Big thanks to the boys for such a nice finish.

Thanks to all the Year 12s for their contribution in their final year, I wish them best of luck for their studies and their future water polo involvement outside of school.

50 Mile Walk Hayden Browne Year 11 Shearer

TOURS

The annual 50-mile walk, introduced

by John F. Kennedy to test the fitness capabilities of the Marines, is a challenge that was eagerly adopted by the British. We began at Moray, walked a large circle, returning to Moray that night. This walk gives people a sense of pride and accomplishment, despite their displacement being zero.

Bagpipes filled the early morning of May 31st. It wasn’t long until groggy-eyed students from Shearer, Anderson, Stuart Houses and PLC stood outside, eager to begin. We marched out of the gates of Moray, full of energy and unaware of the extent to which the pain will affect us. We walked in darkness until second breakfast, in which the sunrise gave us a reimbursement of spirits, energy, and hope.

The pain began to set in before lunch, and spirits dropped soon after. It was then the pain sank into our feet, and we began to truly recognised the distance we had signed up to walk. At lunch, we each did what we could to temporarily soothe the

pain, as we prepared for the second half of the day.

The difference in attitude between the morning and after lunch was astonishing.

People started to focus solely on putting one foot in front of the other, or they preferred to focus on arriving back at Moray later that evening.

Our stop at dinner showed a massive boost in the morale of the walkers, as some were greeted by parents, and others were greeted by two-minute noodles. We began the final stretch to Moray feeling rejuvenated, and our

spirits lifted. Arriving at Moray presented everyone with a sense of relief and desire to crawl into bed.

A massive thanks to Mr Galipo, Ms Evans, Mr Guard, and the other staff who gave up their weekend only to endure our complaints about what we had wanted to do only a day ago. A special thanks to the nurse and the cooks on the day, who were the walkers’ best friend. The 50-Mile Walk is a fabulous experience and is recommended for those who have been presented with the opportunity.

Basel Tattoo Callum Griffiths and Alex Mallawarachchi Year 12s

In the July holidays, 21 members of the Pipe Band performed in the Basel Tattoo, the second-largest tattoo in the world, only second to Edinburgh. This was the third consecutive tattoo that the pipe band has taken part in, and for many of the boys, this was their first tattoo. Being an international event, the tour group was exposed to music and performances from around the world, such as the military bands from China, Switzerland and the Netherlands. This experience was one that will be remembered for all of the bandsmen for many years to come.

A great deal of preparation was done to ensure an international standard, involving weekly practices before school in the preceding months, and four days of exhausting rehearsals in Switzerland. As the band was part of the massed pipes and drums, we were performing with nine other Pipe Bands from around the world, where many friendships were formed over the experience. Cooperation and collaboration on an international scale

was one of the more rewarding processes on the tour. Moving to and from the different venues was also an interesting experience. As Basel has a comprehensive network of free transport, the peculiar sight of 20 kilted teenagers in full kilted uniform going to and from performances on the trams became quite a regular one.

In our free time, the boys got to experience the natural wonders that Switzerland has to offer, with day trips to Lake Lucerne, the Rhine Falls, and Fronalpstock Mountain in Stoos, all of which were simply spectacular.

The 2019 Basel Tattoo was an amazing experience that allowed 21 bandsmen from Years 10 to 12 to be part of an unforgettable international event. The friendships and life lessons made and learnt through this process will transcend into life beyond school. A huge thank you must go out to Mr Bailey, Mr Hamilton, Mr Foster, Mr Ledger, and all the parents who made this tour possible. Your presence during this experience was pivotal in making this tattoo a successful one, and we all heavily appreciated your tireless support and dedication.

Barunga Tour Will Parker Year 8

Fourteen boys and two staff members took part in an Indigenous cultural tour to the Northern Territory for an 8-day trip that was filled with new experiences, new friends and fun. We visited Katherine and a rural town called Barunga.

US Basketball Tour Charlie Bevan and Reuben Westerman Year 11s

Over the Summer holidays, twelve boys from Year 11 and Year 12 had the incredible opportunity to spend two weeks in American on a basketball tour, with our coaches CJ and Mr Mecham.

The day after arriving, we got to experience a crowd like no other an NFL game. The culmination of the sheer size of the stadium and excitement that filled the air provided an experience that we will remember for many years to come.

A highlight in LA was to visit and train at the Mamba Academy, the multi-purpose sport centre built by Kobe Bryant. The centre was amazing, filled with brand new equipment that accommodated basketball, volleyball, soccer, e-sports with a fully equipped gym. We trained with coaches who had worked with elite level NBA players, and tried to take away as much as we could from the session.

The following day, we had our biggest game of the tour against Moreno Valley High School, the school CJ had gone to. The crowd was filled with all of CJ’s old high school friends, and it was great to see how much they respected him and how well they all got along. We did CJ proud that night, winning a close game with the help of a master class from Kobie Abrahams and Tom Lynch.

Aquinas High School, the third school we played, were undoubtedly our toughest opponent of the tour. At this point we had learned and adapted to the fast pace and aggressive nature of California’s style of basketball and were ready to take that challenge. Although we played one of our best games ever, Aquinas were just too good and managed to secure the win by a small margin.

Next up we had NBA Sunday, where we got to spend the whole day at the Staples Centre. The first game we watched was the LA Clippers against the New York Knicks. It was the experience of a lifetime, getting to see superstars like Paul George and Montrezl Harrell put on a clinic.

In our next game, we got to see The Lakers play the Detroit Pistons, and see everyone’s basketball idol in action – Lebron James.

The following day we had our last 2 games against Valley View High School, who were rumoured to be our strongest opposition. In the varsity game, we had a strong start and played well for most of the game. It was close in the end, however we didn’t make the most of our chances and lost by a few points. Overall, the way we played on the tour was a massive improvement and it was good to see that we could compete against American high school teams.

On our last day before heading to the airport, we visited LA Galaxy’s home ground. Most of us were just expecting a soccer stadium, but were amazed to see how many other sports this venue accommodated for. NFL, tennis, boxing and they even had a velodrome somewhere on the site.

Overall, the tour was an incredible experience that let us have a good balance between playing basketball and getting to experience LA. We are immensely grateful to CJ and Mr Mecham for taking us, and to our parents letting us go on such an amazing trip.

While in Katherine, we participated in many different activities, such as an AFL training session with some Indigenous boys through a company called Clontarf, an organisation that provides educational and sporting opportunities for Indigenous kids all around Australia. We then spent a day with a school called Clyde Fenton Primary School. During our time at this school, we took part in many classes from Kindergarten through to Year 6. The boys loved working with the younger children and learning their way of learning. After school, we went on a drive to Edith Falls in Nitmiluk National Park. We swam around and enjoyed the freshwater and sitting underneath the waterfall. The nights we spent in Katherine, we slept at Charles Darwin University. Other activities included visiting the Katherine Museum where we learnt about Katherine’s rich history and culture.

Katherine Hot Springs and Bitter Springs were both amazing natural features of the landscape; we all loved splashing around in the warm waters.

Katherine Outback Experience was another activity we did where we went out to a property and watched an amazing show by Tom Curtain which included wild horse taming, music, horse riding and dog training. We then took part in Top Didj Arts programme run by an Indigenous elder called Manual Pamkal where we were involved in traditional paintings, spear throwing, fire lighting and didgeridoo playing. Cutta Cutta caves was another great experience we took part in where we looked at an amazing landscape a with fascinating history.

The second part of the trip we spent in Barunga, which was an hour’s drive east of Katherine.

We spent our nights sleeping in one of the school’s classrooms. For each of the three days we spent there, we were going to school with all the kids and having the time of our lives. All of the boys loved every minute spending time with the kids, whether it was playing basketball before or after school with them, helping them out in class or doing different activities like a tour through the town. Overall, it was a fantastic experience where each of us gained valuable insight into a completely different way of living in a beautiful part of our country.

Canberra Tour Mr James Bridle Assistant to the Head of Sport

In the first week of the July holidays, over 150 students from Scotch and PLC travelled to Canberra accompanied by 20 staff.

Bibbulmun Track Tom Cleland and Liam McCreery Year 12s

Five years ago, when we were in Year 8, 24 boarders took up the challenge of walking the Bibbulmun Track, along with Mr Ledger who was keen to come along for the ride. We set off for our first day on the 4th of November 2015, leaving from the Northern terminus at Kalamunda. For most of us our packs were the size of us, for some of us this has not changed in the slightest.

Over the next few walks, we had the joy of trekking through jarrah forests with gravel underfoot, all while climbing mountain upon mountain in the 40-degree heat. As we all started to become stronger, the walking became a little easier and our packs seemed to get lighter. For some the weight of our packs was half of what it was on the first walk, we were learning as we went. As we reached the middle section of the track around Dwellingup and Moray, the terrain was a little kinder to us, and the bush started to look quite different. In Year 10 the choice to walk the track became an option for us; some boys saw this as a great opportunity and a rite of passage to spend a week in the bush. For others, this was not their cup of tea and they decided they would rather go to school and sleep in a warm bed.

The final walk of Year 11 saw us reach the beach with only 11 boys and Mr Ledger; I think he was quite surprised he was still on the track. Walking amongst the tall tingle trees was amazing, hitting the beach was also a pretty special moment because we had been longing for hundreds of kilometres to reach the coast.

Despite it raining, this was a pretty good feeling. The snakes became quite common in the sand dunes and coastal scrub; rumour has it that Aiden Veitch was walking back from the beach when he decided to have a toilet stop at a bush, only to have a snake allegedly slither over his foot leaving him in utter shock, but alive to tell the tale.

We set off on our last walk on the 24th of February from Peaceful Bay with only a lazy 164 kilometres lying ahead of us. Most of this walk consisted of sand dunes, beaches or forests, which were a welcome break from the constant sand. The beaches along the way were refreshing and something we wish we had had in Year 8 when it was 42 degrees in the middle of November. On our final evening, we walked into our last hut to find it had burnt to the ground in a bush fire in 2018. The saving grace was that we were back under the stars like we were on our first night five years ago on the track.

On the last day of our journey, we were greeted by Mr Brogden and Mr Miolin with new shirts and some food. For the final 600 metres of our walk, we were piped in by Angus Campbell, OSC 2017 who had also walked the track. Eight young men and Mr Ledger all walked across the line at the southern terminus in Albany, joining in the legacy of Scotch College Boarders, which started in 2000 by then the Head of Boarding Greg Peck, to become End 2 Enders.

The group was split in two, with one half heading to the ski fields of Perisher/Blue Cow and the other half taking in the key landmarks of Canberra – the War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia, Government House, High Court, Australian Museum, Questacon, AIS, Parliament House and Old Parliament House. The two groups then swapped over and had another three days, learning in different environments and continuing to develop friendships amongst their peers from Scotch and PLC. Below are some thoughts from four of the Scotch boys, which reflect their experiences: “I loved the skiing part of this trip. The place we were staying was very suitable for a big group of students, containing a games room to have some fun in, a TV room to watch the footy in, and a big dining hall to eat at dinner and breakfast. I loved skiing every day, the lessons were fun and also it was very funny at times when people stacked it on the slopes, not really badly though. Overall it was a great trip and totally worth doing, and a good trip to start Senior School.”

Julius Kain, Year 9 “The Canberra tour was an amazing experience, from meeting new boys and girls and getting out of my comfort zone to the unforgettable experience of skiing on the slopes in Perisher. Being new to Senior School, I got to realise how our teachers operated outside of the College. They were enormously lenient whilst still having firm guidance over the students. This varied from letting us get two-minute noodles from the shops to a wakeup call of seven o'clock, something the boys did not get around!

Overall, I would highly recommend this school tour to the upcoming Year 9s.”

Thomas Simich, Year 9 “The most interesting part of the Canberra Trip for me was the National Film and Sound Archive that was said to be haunted, and is in the top ten most spooky places in Australia. The National Art Gallery, which had seven thousand art pieces and rotated two thousand every so often, was equally fascinating. Also, the War Memorial with the walls outlining the names of fallen soldiers, and new names being continually added from recent conflicts was especially engaging and emotional.”

Blair Shields, Year 9

India Tour Sebastian Barrett Year 12

Gandhi On 7th of December, six Scotch boys and three staff departed Perth Airport for India.

Cricket Tour Mr Wade Wingfield Administration Assistant - Sport | Sports Coach

A squad of 12 senior Scotch cricketers and two coaches embarked on the School’s first ever cricket tour of South Africa in early January.

A full itinerary was put together for the boys, which included seven matches in Cape Town and Durban as well as a good mix of sightseeing and community upliftment work.

The first leg of the tour saw us visit Cape Town to play in the Independent Schools Cricket festival, hosted by Bishops Diocesan College. Prior to the commencement of the festival, the boys had the opportunity to visit the top of Table Mountain, Newlands Cricket Ground and Langa Township. The township tour was an eye opener for the boys who enjoyed the time interacting with the local children.

Bishops hosted us for four nights during the Cricket festival, in which we played four matches.

Day one, we played two matches: Kearsney College in a 50 over game followed by Michaelhouse in a T20 day/night game on Bishops Main Oval. The day/night T20 was undoubtedly the highlight of the festival for the boys, who got to play in coloured clothing, under lights and with a white ball.

Further games against St David’s from Johannesburg and Bishops brought an end to what was an incredible cricketing experience.

A day of sightseeing followed the festival with visits to a cheetah sanctuary, Boulders Beach (where we swam with penguins) and Cape Point Nature reserve. Our final morning in Cape Town saw us visit Robben Island, where political prisoners were kept during apartheid.

Our tour guide, who was a former political prisoner on the island, walked us through the prison, which included a visit to the cell of its most famous inmate, Mr Nelson Mandela. A very emotional trip concluded with a scenic ferry ride.

From Cape Town, we flew to Durban where we played three games.

Our opposition on this leg of the tour included Clifton School, Thomas More and Hilton College. While in Durban, we visited Kingsmead Cricket Ground, Ushaka Marine World, LIV Village (a rural community) and Moses Mabhida Soccer Stadium. After four nights in Durban we made our way up to Hilton, where we played against Hilton College.

The next day saw us visit the Nelson Mandela Capture Site and Howick Falls. The tour concluded with two nights at Springbok Lodge in the Nambithi Private Game Reserve. The boys were treated to four game drives where they saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, wildebeests, giraffes, buffalos, cervals and rhinos in their natural habitat. It was a fitting end to an amazing tour of a wonderful country.

Previous tours provided students with a range of worthwhile experiences that blessed many lives. Our vision was to work with an organisation in India to educate and empower the most marginalised in Indian society: young Indian girls.

The objective was to understand their social, and educational context and devise a plan to provide on-going support after the tour had concluded.

We visited numerous iconic Indian cultural sites, including the Sikh Shrine where boys cooked and served food to the Indian community, Red Fort and Taj Mahal, then travelled to the Mukti Mission School at Boripardhi.

In Sanskrit, the word “mukti” means “liberation; salvation”. As a Christian organisation, it’s committed to empowering marginalised children and ending generational cycles of poverty and exploitation.

At the school, boys taught Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English. Additionally, under Dr Spadaccini’s guidance, they established Mukti’s IT Laboratories, which were not operational.

After school, boys played Indian games, Kofi and Logori, with the children. The games soon evolved into an international competition between India and Australia with plenty of teasing from both sides. Sebastian Barrett also taught the girls to play chess. This was a special experience for the boys and the Mukti children who are ignored by their wider community. Scotch boys extended sincere friendship; a blessing to those children and their sense of self-worth.

The boys outlined an on-going plan to support Mukti’s educational programmes, which have been submitted to the Director of Community Service, Mr Kyle, for consideration; it is a course of action involving Scotch Junior, Middle and Senior Schools, with implementation to commence in 2020.

The journey begins …

East Kimberley Tour Mr Richard Ledger Head of Middle School

In September this year, eight Year 8 boys travelled to the East Kimberley to join with the Clontarf Foundation boys based at Kununurra District High School.

The group participated in an engaging and exciting week of activities in the Ord Valley including camping, visiting Wyndham, and taking part in sport and art sessions in Kununurra.

Travelling in Toyota troupies the boys went out to Hidden Valley, and with the boys from Clontarf, swam in billabongs, jumped off cliffs, went looking for bush food and had a great time sharing stories about being boys in two separate cultures and environments.

There was a night under the starts out at El Questro, early morning footy training and there was boab nut carving at the Arts and Cultural Centre in Kununurra led by recognised Indigenous artist Bill Weaver.

At Wyndham our boys had the chance to join with the Clontarf boys there, and were invited out to the stock yards to spend an afternoon mustering, and bareback riding some of the training ponies that these boys use to learn how to become stockmen.

It was a rare, eye-opening experience, beautifully summed up by Jackson Conti who said “That was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. I have learnt so much and now have an idea of how much more I’ve got to learn about Indigenous culture and about the Australian bush.”

European History Jed Hood Year 12, Ferguson

Beginning the trip in Munich, I can safely say that each and every one of the boys were very excited for a taste of German culture.

Day two began with a walking tour around significant sites in Munich related to the birth of the Nazi movement.

That afternoon, we went to the Dachau concentration camp, which was the site that both housed and killed thousands of political prisoners during the regime.

Seeing and stepping foot in the gas chamber, we were able to gain an intimate insight into the atrocities that were committed. On the third day, we ventured to Berchtesgaden where Hitler had his alpine residence; it offered us yet another glimpse into the nature of the brutal regime contrasted against the majestic beauty of the Bavarian Alps.

On our final night, we enjoyed dinner in the Hofbrauhaus Beer Hall, where we were treated to some traditional Bavarian entertainment of slap dancing and whip cracking.

Next on the agenda was the richly historical city of Nuremberg, where we gained an insight into both ancient and modern German history. Upon arrival, we toured the NSDAP rally grounds; the sheer scale of the site put into perspective just how many people had been supporters of the regime. The Zeppelin Field, where Hitler delivered grand speeches, was a

highlight. The next day, we had a tour of the museum commemorating the 1946 Nuremberg trials, where Nazi officials faced justice after the war.

Our next stop, Berlin, is a city that has so much to offer historically. The fact we got to cover most of it is a testament to the organisation that had been put into the tour. Being able to see remnants of the Berlin Wall and the sorts of divisive impacts it had, visiting the former Stasi Headquarters and Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin was full of engaging and interesting history. What stood out to me was footage captured of the moment the Berlin Wall began to come down.

Onto Krakow, Poland, where our tour guide gave us a rundown of the rich Jewish history in Krakow before the onset of war in 1939. We then made the trip out to Auschwitz Birkenau – where over a million people, mostly Jews were killed during the Nazi regime. The experience

of being at such an important and significant place was most humbling and confronting.

We then made our way to Paris. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Arc De Triomphe and the Palace of Versailles were all places that we visited before concluding our trip in Northern France, at the battlefields on the Western Front of World War One. We were also very fortunate to visit many famous memorials for fallen Australians across these battlefields.

A big thank you to Mr Bradley for his leadership and the organisation during the trip, and thanks to the other staff involved: Mr Frusher, Mr Bennett and Mr Hindle. This was an amazing opportunity to see some incredible places and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the younger years.

Kinjarling Djinda Ngardak (Albany comes alive under the stars) Marie Bloodworth Hospitality Teacher Nicole Spanbroek Media Teacher

Indigenous students from across WA travelled to Albany to participate in a week-long culinary camp hosted by ‘Prepare Produce Provide,’ an organisation that assists in a wide range of social and community causes.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Abrolhos Islands Adventure Arad Rad Year 11 Shearer

The Abrolhos expedition was an exceptional trip where a total number of 14 students (seven boys from Scotch College and seven girls from Presbyterian Ladies College) were lucky enough to travel to the islands off Geraldton.

The trip consisted of one practice dive on the first day, two ocean dives on the second day, two deep ocean dives on the third day and lastly, one deep ocean dive without instructors. Throughout the trip, we learnt about the extraordinary history of the Batavia and the Abrolhos.

We learnt about having to communicate underwater and working effectively as a member of a team. We also learnt to be careful, courageous and curious when it comes to the unknown.

While around the islands we learnt about the story of the Batavia, a Dutch vessel that sank in the area in the 1600s. We learnt about the massacre that took place and the rescue mission to save the survivors.

We got the chance to see what the explorers saw in the early 1600s and step on the land they stood. The history of the Batavia made me personally appreciate the opportunity a lot more and develop a further in-depth understanding of the history of Australia.

Being able to communicate underwater and knowing how to be able to support or help a buddy is vital when you’re 18 metres below the surface of the ocean. We had to be able to trust our buddies and ourselves for support under the surface of the ocean or else when there was a slight chance of something going wrong, we could have been in grave danger. This experience taught me to be even more trustworthy and open when it comes to communication so that I can take the most out of every experience.

Lastly, making bold choices, being curious and courageous is all that the last dive is about. You’re with a couple of buddies, there are no instructors, and you are on your own. In a scenario like this you can choose to be overdramatic and not enjoy a once in a lifetime experience, or you can be courageous, curious and careful in order to make the most out of that experience. I remember the depth of 6-metre practice in the pool and thinking “This is so deep, I am for sure going to get the bends”. However by the last day we went on a dive, and we looked down at our dive watches and you could see people burst into a cloud of bubbles. We had gone to 28m below the surface of the ocean!

The experience of being able to swim next to real, living and moving aquatic creatures is phenomenal. Learning to be bold and courageous, learning about the marvellous history of the Batavia and making a couple of friends for life are just a few of the exceptional things I took away from this expedition.

Scotch College Hospitality Certificate ll students, William Wolf and Ahmad Sgro, were selected to join this event. The programme gave them the opportunity to develop their culinary skills using both indigenous and locally farmed foods. The programme is designed to deepen the students, knowledge, connection to country and culture.

Throughout the week they participated in cultural activities with Menang (Albany) Elders and Cultural Leaders, including art classes and bush walks, allowing students to share stories, spend time on country and forage for local bush foods, including quandongs, bloodroot and saltbush. During the week, Will and Ahmad attended masterclasses and worked with chefs at Albany TAFE to prepare lunch banquets for the group.

The week culminated in the students co-creating, preparing and serving a high-end gala dinner at the Albany Entertainment Centre for 170 guests.

The event not only showcased the knowledge, skill and expertise of the chefs and students, but also included an entertainment programme featuring Indigenous art, dance, fashion and music. The gala dinner table centrepiece was complemented with native floral arrangements collected and created by the students.

It was a fabulous experience for William and Ahmad, allowing them to network with others across the State and work with notable chefs and industry professionals as well as local Indigenous elders. William and Ahmad were great ambassadors for our school. This culinary camp was an event they will remember and treasure for a long time to come.

Tournament of Minds Harry Osborne and AJ Church Year 7s

This year, teachers and boys were involved in the Tournament of Minds competition. In Autumn Term, we practised spontaneous and long-term challenges.

We had the choice between four categories which were: The Arts, Social Sciences, Language Literature and STEM. Scotch College P1 & P2 chose STEM and P3 had chosen The Arts. On 31st of August, all teams including Scotch headed to Edith Cowan University in Joondalup for the Regional Finals, in which everyone would present their long-term challenge and spontaneous challenge. The spontaneous challenge was a mystery until it was given to us the morning of the competition. Two days after the competition day we were informed that Scotch College P1 STEM, made it into the State Finals.

In the State Finals, we competed against three other teams. All teams that competed in the State Finals participated

in the ‘Three-Hour Challenge’, where you are all locked in a room for three hours working on a STEM challenge. After a long day of hard work, Scotch College won the State Finals, so we were then heading to the International Finals in Hobart, Tasmania. We were all so excited to hear this news and we later found out that we were the first team to make National finals in Scotch College history!

During the Hobart trip, we visited many places including Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, Port Arthur Historic Site,

Richmond & the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery. Competition Day was similar to the State Final as it was another ‘Three-Hour Challenge’, but this time the stakes were higher. Teams from New Zealand and Hong Kong also competed as well. Overall, the trip was great and a momentous occasion where we made new friends across the world and we hope we can continue to do TOMs in future years.

Generations in Jazz Oscar Clements and Samuel Barrett‑Lennard Year 10s

Early in May, 15 boys from Years 8 to 12 flew to Mt Gambier to participate in the Generations in Jazz festival. We were looking forward to our first big performance as a new band (Scotch Jazz Orchestra) and being part of a huge event.

This year, Generations in Jazz drew around 5500 students from across Australia to a farm on the outskirts of Mt Gambier. A dozen or so tents, including the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, were erected in a handful of paddocks.

This was the venue for a big weekend of band competitions and live entertainment.

The standard of the competition was exceptionally high, with many Division 1 school bands sounding professional.

However, this was eclipsed by the lineup of international musicians whom we watched in nightly concerts.

After some last-minute rehearsals in the town church, the time had run out to fix notes and we were somewhat ready to perform. The Jazz Orchestra played twice - first in Mt Gambier’s town centre, and

then in Division 3 of the National Stage Band Competition the following day.

Some band members also performed in a four-man combo (Scotch Jazz P) and impressed adjudicators with their musicianship.

On two of the nights, the thousands of students in attendance packed into the big tent for two spectacular shows. Standout performances included trumpet player James Morrison (Australia), organist Joey DeFrancesco (USA), and singer Lizz Wright (USA). The atmosphere inside the tent, combined with the calibre of the artists, was a definite highlight.

After plenty of time spent relaxing in Mt Gambier, we received a guided tour of the James Morrison Academy of Music from James Morrison himself. It was inspirational to see what it’s like to be a young professional and to be so close to a world-famous jazz musician. A big part of the tour was about being around talented artists and learning from them. Everyone who attended gained a taste of how exciting playing music can be.

This was a highly memorable trip that we’d recommend to anyone with the opportunity to go. Thank you to Mr Simpson, Mr Loveday and Mr Perkins, who made this amazing experience possible.

New Zealand Pearson Chambel Year 10

The New Zealand tour was one of the most uniquely amazing experiences of my life. The tour boasts many fantastic adventure activities such as skiing, jetboating and skydiving, just to name a few. However, I would like to write about what I believe was the heart of the tour, the hike.

Beginning innocently at the start of the Caples track, the hike on the first day was nothing short of cinematic. Wandering through the majestic sweeping grass plains of the Caples Valley under the watchful eye of colossal mountain ranges taught me a thing or two about how small we truly are.

The first day was by far the easiest in terms of hiking, however offered views only challenged by those seen atop of Mt. Luxmore and MacKeller Saddle.

The second day was one of the most challenging athletic events of my life.

27km of hiking in total with several hundred metres of elevation gain, it was

mind-bogglingly tough. After the soulshattering experience of getting up to the MacKeller Saddle, we were rewarded with what looked to be a mountain range barrelling along a collision course toward us, only to be stopped short by the valley we had just walked upon. We then clambered down the mountain towards our next hut. The next hike was Mt. Luxmore. After jet boating across a lake to the start of the hike we began.

Trekking up Mt. Luxmore was no easy feat with it essentially comprising two hours’ worth of steep switchbacks before a 30

minute walk into a blizzard until we finally hit the hut.

Due to cloud cover we couldn’t see much on the first day, but upon waking the next morning we were blown away by the ostentatious majesty that was the view.

Seeing Lake Te’nau shimmering like so many bars of gold under the morning sun’s glory accompanied by the monolithic peaks of a snow-capped mountain range made me redefine the word beautiful.

Looking back there is no tour I could recommend more highly than this one.

Young Round Square Conference – Jakarta Mr Toby Robinson Year 8 Teacher

A tour party of eight highly enthusiastic Year 7 students met early at Perth International Airport on Friday 26th April, heading to the Young Round Square Conference in Jakarta “Journey to Java”.

This was the first international conference attended by boys in the Middle School and was an opportunity for delegates to put into practice the six pillars of holistic learning (IDEALS) that they had been discovering in class.

The conference started with a muchanticipated cultural show and Indonesian banquet after delegates were arranged into Baraza groups; the random grouping of delegates that reflected the cultural diversity the attendees allowing our students to interact with others outside of Scotch. Having enjoyed a campfire and songs on the first evening, delegates were immersed in various cultural activities including cooking, batik, gamelan and puppetry, before experiencing inspirational guest speakers from the Orangutan Foundation and Wheelchair Basketball athletes.

176 | Out of Bounds

The outdoor component to the conference included a trek to a coffee plantation and rice paddy farm. The students gained an insight into sustainable farming and the demand for coffee supply on a global basis. The following day, delegates visited an organic farm and participated in planting, harvesting and gathering produce before interacting with the local indigenous community. Another highlight was the day excursion to Taman Safari where the students learned more about animal conservation with behind the scenes tours of primate, reptile and panda enclosures.

The issue of animal conservation had been highlighted during an Assembly at Scotch and it was clear that, sadly many species are endangered as a result of human activity. Through education, it is

hoped that change can take place to allow for balance in an incredibly diverse and fragile ecosystem.

The conference was an outstandingly organised event and I am sure will be remembered by the students and staff who attended. A special mention goes to our Scotch representatives who conducted themselves with exemplary behaviour and upheld our core values of integrity, stewardship and service. This tour was made possible by the tireless efforts of both the Senior and Middle School Administration teams – thank you. Last and certainly not least, my big thank you to Mrs Enfield-Kirk and Mrs Hodgson for giving up their valuable time to supervise the tour party and allowing for this amazing ‘eyeopening’ experience for our boys.

Stanford University Sam Sterrett Enrichment Co-ordinator

40 Scotch boys from Years 9 and 10, representing our third cohort, attended the Stanford International Institutes programme. This brings the number of Scotch boys to have experienced this transformational learning opportunity to 112. Once again, the boys were fantastic ambassadors for the College.

The Stanford Pre-Collegiate International Institutes is a two week immersive residential programme that sees students from around the world introduced to Stanford’s progressive educational approach through engagement in daily academic workshops, multi-cultural events, a multi-national Global Solutions Project, a Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs Panel and a host of other unique learning experiences.

The daily workshops introduced the boys to a host of world class experts in their fields. Drawing on her wealth of experience and expertise, Areen Shahbari delivered an empowering workshop on entrepreneurship, Joel Simon shared a life-time of experience as one of the world’s foremost travel photographers, Rabindra Shivnaraine showed the boys how to

extract DNA from a strawberry and the gregarious Margaret Reges challenged the boys to embrace their creative spirit via a journey into Dadaism. Their overwhelming intellectual humility and open-mindedness were character traits not lost on our boys.

The Multicultural Exhibition represented a highlight for many of the boys and offered a platform for students to share their numerous and varied artistic and musical talents with the Scotch College performance featuring pipes, drums, guitars, vocals and piano and a 40 strong choir. The boys’ rendition of John Farnham’s ‘You’re the Voice’ caused a near stampede as the 400+ crowd representing over 20 countries flocked to the stage.

The Global Solutions Project presentations gave students an authentic opportunity to present their collective vision for an island nation. Each team spent many days wrestling with the economic, geographic, cultural and political dimensions of building a nation under particular constraints and challenges. As a result, many friendships were formed and the spirit of international-mindedness could not have been more evident.

It was particularly heartening to see the level of gratitude the boys showed towards the Scotch staff who attended and supported them with so much care and attention throughout the tour.

EXPEDITIONS July Expeditions took on a cold change this year with great success.

Mr Drew Templar Outdoor Ed Teacher

Mr Shawn Brogden Curriculum Leader – Outdoor Education

The Year 10 expedition in September saw students explore the Margaret River Region. Around 80 students chose southern expeditions this year and they participated in Hiking, Surfing and Mountain Biking.

Not only did students participate in the traditional Sea Kayaking and Diving that take in the sights above and below the stunning aqua water of the Ningaloo Marine park on the Exmouth coast, a group of brave adventurers headed south to Moray to tackle the Murray River in flood, for the Winter Canoe Journey.

The Mountain Biking students were based at Carters Road and spent the week riding on the technical downhill trails of the area.

Students worked on speed, flow, jumps, burns and positioning to build skills for downhill riding and racing.

The Surfing students explored many reefs and beach breaks in their week away, surfing for around five hours per day and being coached by national renowned surfers and coaches, Josh Palmateer and Cy Cox. Students’ highlight of the week was a session at Margaret River’s world renowned “surfers’ point”, with the late afternoon conditions being perfect.

Over 40 students tackled the Cape to Cape walk this year. The walk is always extremely challenging but equally beautiful. Views of the coastline, whales breaching and sightings of dolphins were some highlights of the expedition.

A huge thank you must go out to all the staff for their efforts to make these expeditions memorable for the students.

Canoeing was a resounding success with the boys completing short sections of the Murray River each day and camping along its shores each night, warmed by a lovely fire and their super warm sleeping bags. This is one of the best back to nature experiences we offer with students carrying all their lives in their boats, and having plenty of leisure time to complete the task each day of following the flow of the Murray back to Moray.

Up north their compatriots were also busy. The sea kayakers travelled along the coast, camping on beaches in the Ningaloo Marine Park, a luxury only attainable via this expedition. They completed their journey up the coast at the Tantabiddi boat ramp where they joined the luxurious Kings Whale Shark tour and successfully finished their journey by snorkelling with the ocean giants, whale sharks.

Diving is far from relaxing, however, very rewarding. This year we had a record number of students complete their studies and practical skills to become certified divers. With amazing dive conditions, we even had a day out at the Muiron Islands, and a harrowing dive on the west side where Mr Templar and Mr Miolin, along with 14 boys, came face to face with a lovely but big tiger shark, a common experience for divers. The staff and students also encountered whales, and had a great day snorkelling with whale sharks to round out a great expedition.

Thanks to all the staff who gave up their holidays to go along and support these expeditions with our students.

A huge thank you must go out to all the staff for their efforts to make these expeditions memorable for the students.

STAFF REPORT This year we welcomed a number of skilled permanent and fixed-term staff to both our Teaching and Learning and Administration and Ancillary areas.

Mr Gareth Spence Manager of Staffing and Human Resources

This included the appointment of our new Chaplain, Gary van Heerdan who joined us from our sister school Presbyterian Ladies College (PLC). Our close ties with PLC also facilitated the appointment of our new Head of Swimming, Ryan Steencamp, a highly successful coach and elite athlete who was appointed to enhance the swimming programmes across both schools. The College has now also been officially acknowledged as a Duke of Edinburgh Employer in recognition of the close ties the students and staff we recruit have with the scheme, and this provides an invaluable opportunity for our boys to explore their potential and have experiences that can oftentimes be transformational.

At the start of the year on PD Day we celebrated our Long Service Awards for those staff who have dedicated a significant part of their career to the College. This year our Headmaster had the pleasure of presenting a 20 year service award to Simon Hollingshead, our Information and Learning Technology Manager. Five staff members completed 15 years’ service including; Marilyn Zuidersma, Senior School Mathematics Teacher, Howard Loosemore, Senior School Commerce Teacher and Cadet Leader, Robert Dall’Oste, Senior School Science Teacher, Shauna Lipscombe, Senior School Psychologist and Dixie Maher, Senior School Secretary.

In a first for the College, all of our staff were trained in Senior First Aid on our traditional Compliance Day in December.

This meant that we not only ensured that there is always somebody close by if a medical emergency arises during our normal day to day activities, but that every single staff member now possesses an important life skill they can use outside of the College if needed. Initiative such as these ensure our cultures and values are at the forefront of everything we do and appeal to those employees we want to attract and retain.

I am pleased to report that a number of staff successfully completed the National Excellence in School Leadership Initiative (NESLI) Programmes in 2019, demonstrating the continued drive and determination of staff towards developing their academic career in Educational Leadership. The following qualifications were achieved: Nathan Kime, Senior School School’s Deputy Principal Colloquium Darren Mumford, Senior School School’s Deputy Principal Colloquium Scott Siekierka, Middle School School’s Deputy Principal Colloquium Drew Templer, Outdoor Education School’s Deputy Principal Colloquium Alex Wood, Senior School School’s Deputy Principal Colloquium Martin Kelly, Senior School School’s Leading Teacher Colloquium Steve McClean, Senior School School’s Leading Teacher Colloquium Brad Watson, Senior School School’s Leading Teacher Colloquium During the year, a number of staff also achieved group and individual awards

based on their excellent contribution to the College and WA community. The Scotch College Library Services team were awarded the inaugural 2019 School Library of the Year award presented by the Western Australia School Library Association, underlining the innovative and creative practices they deliver to all members of the Scotch Community.

Brad Tyrrell, who is our Dean of Information Learning Technologies and also manages the Library Services team, received a Recognition Award from World Skills Australia in appreciation of his work with young people in the local community, helping them to develop their skills to prepare them for the workforce and empower them to become successful global citizens.

Shirin Reyhani, our Curriculum Leader for Mathematics achieved the prestigious Apple Educator Award in recognition of her work in integrating technology into the classroom to enhance the student learning experience.

Scott Siekierka, Middle School Curriculum Coordinator for Science and Residential Head of Year for Years 7 & 8 was awarded the Scotch College Council “Round Square” Staff Bursary for outstanding Teaching and Professionalism at the College.

In conclusion, 2019 was another successful year for our staff both individually and collectively, who together continue to have an extremely positive influence on our students’ academic and personal growth.

STAFF VALE

Vale Charlotte Cook-Casey

Vale Norm P de Grussa OAM

Mr Michael Scaife IB Diploma Coordinator

Mr Craig Bailey Pipe Band Master

Charlotte made a valuable contribution to the education of boys in both the Middle and Senior School. A talented pedagogue, she taught French and English and was an important member of the Curriculum Leadership team as the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme Coordinator when appointed to the position in 2013.

When Norm de Grussa was appointed Bandmaster of the Scotch College Pipe Band in 1992, he came with a wealth of knowledge and experience in Piping. An old boy himself (1965-1970).

Her long and distinguished career commenced at the College in 2000 when she was headhunted by the Headmaster, Andrew Syme. Charlotte commenced her career teaching French to students in Years 1 to 9 as well as Religious Studies to Year 8 students. Her dedication to excellence and wide range of skills led to her appointment as Second in Charge of the Modern Languages Department in 2005, as well as the Coordinator for the Year 10 English Course.

Her colleagues collectively agree that Charlotte is a delightful combination of erudition, kindness, patience and impeccable style that was aptly complemented by her rapier-like wit. All who worked with her benefited from her academic and procedural insights, using her extensive experience and talents to ensure the smooth operation of the MYP over a six-year period.

Charlotte’s polite and gentle manner perfectly complemented her strong leadership skills. She was never the leader who sought the limelight and personal adulation; she always conducted her duties diligently and discreetly, and her humble leadership style was admired and respected by all. Charlotte understood the importance of her leadership role and worked assiduously to develop an IBMYP course that was the envy of the Asia-Pacific region.

Charlotte is the consummate professional who understood the power of collaboration and was always happy to share resources, not to mention her wisdom and many an entertaining anecdote! Charlotte’s uncompromising commitment to the education of Scotch boys means that the void created by her departure is indeed profound.

At Scotch, Norm used piping and his love of Piobaireachd as his pursuit for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards culminating in the Gold Medal in his final year. Whilst in South Australia, Norm went to Hamish Mackenzie to further his piping and won both the Silver and Gold Medal for Piobaireachd in the RU Brown Solo Piping Competition in 1974 and 1975 respectively. Both Hamish Mackenzie and Robert Brown received tuition from John MacDonald of Inverness in Scotland and after Robert Brown passed, a Society was created to further Piobaireachd in Australia.

After George McClelland announced his retirement, Norm decided to apply for the Position of Band Master and was interviewed by Bill Dickinson at Sydney Airport. Subsequently life at Scotch recommenced in 1992 and although comfortable from the start, it was somewhat of an awakening. Norm was used to dealing with young soldiers and would often have to remind himself that his new charges weren’t.

Bill Dickinson’s vision for the Pipe Band was to match the size of Scotch College Melbourne and since Norm took over, the band has grown from a playing strength of 49 to as high as 81.

Norm was instrumental in creating Tours at Scotch. Competing in Geelong in 1994, Perth in 1996 and then Newcastle in 1998. In 1997 the band went to Scotland featuring a visit to Westminster Abbey for ANZAC Day for the School’s Centenary and the Pipe Bands 50th.

The Bands first Tattoo was the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax 2000. 2004 included performances in VillersBretonneux and Bullecourt in Northern France for ANZAC Day. Then Virginia Tattoos in 2006, 2008, 2011 and finally in 2013.

Athletics Day performances were always a highlight for Norm, and he enjoyed setting up the training for the occasion. After 27 years, one thing for certain is that he has left an indelible mark on the history of the College. He has had a profound effect on the Pipe Band having touched and shaped so many young lives.

Vale Roy Hamilton

Vale Dixie Maher

Mr Craig Bailey Pipe Band Master

Dr Jeannette Weeda 2IC English

Commencing at the College in 2008, Roy leaves Scotch to join his family and take up teaching in Scotland in Allness, Invergordon, Tain, Dornoch and Golspie with the Ross and Cromarty and Sutherland Schools Pipe Bands.

Dixie commenced teaching at Scotch College in 1981 after teaching in a number of government and non-government schools for the previous 15 years.

In 11 ½ years, Mr Hamilton’s down to earth style has proven to be very dependable amongst the drummers. His approach has never been short of a good story or joke but he could always tell the boys exactly how it was whilst always keeping their interests at heart.

He has a Pipe Band and solo career which is quite long and extensive. Some of his more notable achievements include Junior, Elementary, Intermediate and Open solo titles including Pipe Band Titles at state, national and international levels. He has won the State Open Snare Drumming 14 times!

Roy was a member of the successful Western Australia Police Pipe Band which was crowned Grade 2 World Champions in 1998 and Grade 1 North American Champions in 2001, having also competed at the Grade 1 World Pipe Band Championships in 2003 and 2004.

He has toured widely, performing in competitions, concerts and parades from all around the world as well as a variety of Tattoos including the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Kremlin Zoria Tattoo – Red Square, Moscow, The Virginia International Tattoo and the Adelaide International Police Tattoo. He has also accompanied the Pipe Band on many such tours having only recently returned from the Basel Tattoo 2019 in Switzerland.

Roy is also a keen musician and plays both the piano and acoustic guitar (self-taught). He enjoys composing and recording music in his own time and, although not a piper as such, he has written many a fine pipe tunes and has had his work published in several music books and recorded to CD by the Victoria Police Pipe Band Grade 1 and bands from America, New Zealand and Scotland. He has even had the Royal Scottish Dragoon Guards, who famously charted Amazing Grace to number 1 in 1972, record to DVD one of his compositions which they performed at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Notwithstanding his personal achievements, Roy leaves a long lasting legacy of pipe band drumming in Western Australia. I would like to thank him as a friend, colleague and on behalf of the greater Scotch community, and wish him and his family all the very best for the future.

After five years of dedicated and passionate teaching of Year 1 and 2 classes she decided it was time for a career change and so moved into the computers-in-education field, travelling to schools around the State. However, her ties with Scotch remained strong and when a position in the secretarial area became available in 2003 Dixie returned happily to Scotch and stayed until earlier this year in various positions in the administration area. She had a few breaks when grandchildren were born as she wanted to be available for them, but was always happy to return to Scotch and Scotch was always happy to have her back.

Dixie’s strong administrative, literacy and people skills have been appreciated in her various administrative roles. She was an Administrative Assistant to the Deputy Headmaster and Executive, worked as a secretary in Absentees and Outdoor Education and in the last few years at Scotch worked in the front reception area. She was always knowns for her intelligence, meticulous and diligent work and friendly manner.

Dixie’s literacy skills are exceptional and for years she helped edit The Reporter and copious numbers of reports and documents. She has been a School report proofer and became the go-to person for editing advice. Regularly she would do extra editing work out of school hours. As an avid reader, she was very interested in any creative writing that the boys produced and would willingly help with editing The Raven, the College’s in-house electronic creative writing magazine. In fact, when she retired she offered to continue to help with editing The Raven voluntarily, a measure of her love of writing and her generous nature. Her work ethic and commitment to the College are admirable.

It was an indication of how quickly time passes to have some of the boys whom she had taught in Junior School return as parents in later years and, like the interested and caring teacher she had been, was always keen to know how her former students were progressing after they left school.

A testament to the broad reach of Dixie’s relationships at the College was evident at her farewell morning tea. A wide range of people spoke of her generous and professional contribution to Scotch.

Vale Sue Mitchell

Vale Matt James

Ms Dixie Maher Senior School Secretary

Mr Simon Hollingshead Information and Learning Technology Manager

Sue started working at Scotch College as a Senior School Receptionist in July 2008.

When Matt was asked to do a one-week trial at Scotch in 2009, he wasn’t expecting that 10 years later he would be the subject of a Reporter article celebrating his valuable work at the School before relocating back home to Queensland with his partner Jade and sons Angus and Witten, to be closer to family.

From the beginning, we all knew we had someone special in that role who would take the whole idea of “reception” to new heights. Sue made sure that everyone who came through the door was received with a welcoming smile. In fact, she stood up as people approached and once she had come to know the regular visitors she was able to engage in friendly conversations which made people feel most welcome. Country visitors and parents received special attention as, after years growing up in the community of Waroona, Sue was able to discuss the current state of the farming community, how crops and livestock were going and all the latest on the Waroona Show and her starring role in some of the events there. She developed a real rapport with many farming families and had an excellent memory of what was happening in people’s lives.

We always knew when Sue had seen the latest musical or theatre event because she walked in the door for her afternoon shift often singing or dancing to the latest performance she had attended. This interest carried over into the Scotch College Music and Drama Departments. Sue was a loyal and frequent audience member of any of the boys’ productions and went out of her way to attend and encouraged many of us to do so.

Sue completed all her tasks efficiently and often went the extra mile, staying late on a Friday afternoon particularly, to ensure that a boy who had missed a bus or was waiting for a parent was cared for and that his safety was ensured.

Several staff members have referred to Sue as “a ray of sunshine in the Front Office” and she will be sorely missed. We wish her all the best in her retirement.

During his years at Scotch, Matt has been part of a number of strategic initiatives including moving from Windows to Mac for staff, implementing the student 1:1 Mac Laptop programme for Years 5 to 12 and most recently in 2014 the 1:1 iPad programme in Years 1 to 4. His extensive Apple skills both in both hardware and software has been essential to the success of these initiatives.

Since 2009, the Scotch IT Department and deployed technology has constantly been evolving; tasks that were carried out manually in 2009 when there were only a few devices have needed to be automated and require management systems to manage more than 2000 devices in a systematic and safe manner, to support the staff and students and match the demands of an innovative school.

As part of the Tech Team, his other role was to support staff and students with their hardware, software and audio-visual enquiries. For many years, Matt has been a familiar face in the Junior and Middle School as he carried out regular rounds assisting the staff and students. In 2014, Matt was temporarily seconded to PLC in the role of Co-ordinator of Laptops & Logistics. This was a great opportunity to utilise his skillset and assist his colleagues at our sister-school.

Apart from working at Scotch, Matt has an active presence globally using his graphics skills, spending his weekends and evenings working on commissioned projects utilising his Degree in Graphic Design from James Cook University. Matt has been an asset to the Tech Centre. We all wish Matt and his family the best for his new adventure and thank him for his part in making Scotch excellent.

Vale Celena Mecham Mrs Kirra Muni House Head, Cameron | Creative Arts Teacher

Celena joined the College in 2008, as Head of Media and Residential Head of Year 9 with Sean Mecham. Celena immersed herself in all areas of the College, bringing her wealth of experience and leadership to the Academic, Pastoral and Residential programmes.

Celena brought structure to the boys in the Year 9 House and reassurance to their parents and guardians. She had profound impact on the families she worked with before she shifted her focus towards her passion for teaching and learning and was appointed Curriculum Leader of the Creative Arts in 2014.

An expert in her field, Celena is a leader in the transformation of pedagogy. She continuously worked to fine-tune her programmes and develop curriculum that was rigorous, topical and student-centred, and she challenged her students to produce work of the highest standard. There is nothing Celena wouldn’t do for her students and under her leadership, they achieved great success. Celena has taught Year 12s who went on to achieve Subject Exhibition Awards in Media Production and Analysis in 2010, 2012 and 2018, Course Distinctions in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2018, and many cohorts who made the list of Highest Performing Students. Furthermore, students went on to showcase their work at international Film Festivals and at the Australian Teachers of Media Perspectives.

186 | Staff

Celena’s true legacy at the College was her advocacy for the Arts and the increased profile of Media and the Creative Arts Department. As part of Celena’s strategic vision, she created opportunities for students to showcase their work and celebrate their successes within the wider Scotch Community. This included the rebranding of Arts Week, an Arts Tour to New York, a professional relationship with FORM and the Directors’ Cut Media Awards Night. The initiatives Celena put in place during her time as Curriculum Leader will continue long after her tenure.

With her ability to build capacity in staff and students, as well as her comprehensive understanding of teaching and learning in local and international contexts, it was no surprise to those who worked closely with Celena that she was appointed Assistant Dean of Teaching and Learning in 2019. Her dedication and analytical nature placed her well to support students and staff in this role. Celena now takes the next step in her career as she leaves Scotch College and we wish her all the best in her new role as Head of Secondary, Teaching and Learning (7 – 12) at Swan Valley Anglican Community School.

Summarising the impact Celena has made on the College in the last 12 years feels an impossible task and she will be missed as a colleague, mentor and a friend. To Celena - on behalf of all the students and staff you have worked with, we thank you for always pushing us to be our best, your passion for pedagogy, and your fearless leadership. This television drama series has come to an end, we wish you all the best in your new spin off, we know you will be a hit.

YEAR 12 BALL The Year 12 ball is an epic event on the Scotch student calendar.

With the obvious advantage of the venue on-site, the Scotch parents went above and beyond to create something ‘Out of this World’!

Word on the Ball circuit is, an invitation to the Scotch ball is the golden ticket! And for those lads who were squiring ladies at other balls, they would know that ours was by far the best gala of the season.

Some arrived in limousines or like me in a party bus equipped with flashing lights and Fisher’s killer hit single on a loop. The Pipe Band were there, looking resplendent in full kit and every couple was welcomed by Dr O’Connell.

Out of the khakis, there were some sharp looks in tuxedos and whilst some opted for the classic ‘DiCaprio’ winged collar and satin lapel, others found their inner GQ and went all out. As they walked the red carpet, the couples looked fantastic and the ladies were especially stunning.

Inside the Dickinson Centre, we were transported to another planet. The night partied on with dance moves left, right and centre, an interesting entertainment act and plenty of memories recorded in the photo booth.

The Year 12 cohort wish to extend their appreciation and thanks to the parents and staff of the College for making our ball such a memorable night.

VALEDICTORY DINNER SPEECH

This speech has been abridged from its original version.

Dear Mr Guard, On behalf of the Year 12 cohort, I would like to formally invite you to do the 2019 Valedictory Dinner speech.

Throughout the year you have entertained, taught and mentored so many of the boys this year and the year group have enjoyed having you as a teacher, footy coach and, of course, House Head. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we really appreciate the time, effort and energy you put into the school. As a cohort, we believe your humour and relationships with the boys form an essential part of Scotch’s community. It is in this regard that we would be honoured to have you speak at the Valedictory Dinner; it would truly be a fitting end to our journey at Scotch. This is obviously optional, however, we would really appreciate you committing to doing the speech.

teaching, although I prefer to refer to myself as a ‘facilitator of learning opportunities professional’ or FLOP. But I would need a bigger badge. I have often been accused of being cynical and sarcastic, even a space cowboy – I always thought I was pragmatic, or as George Orwell might put it “a logical optimist”.

I want to address what I am grateful for. I have found that you have to be observant.

That your opportunities, your privileges and your failures are there, if you pay attention. And yet that word failure, a word we do not often openly discuss in society, it is really what you make of it. As you will see.

What can I say that is inspirational, aspirational, meaningful? What can I say – I am pretty ordinary. That’s it! We can’t have extraordinary people without the ordinary. Now I just need a title. Got it – Nick Guard - putting the ordinary back into extraordinary.

My mother was involved in a car accident when she was your age in her late teens, on Stirling Highway near the primary schools near the bend heading south towards Mosman Park. While she survived the crash with a broken neck, a promising young man named David died.

Kind Regards, Ben

If not for this event I would not be here. If not for this event, a mate of mine would not be named David. This comes up later in my journey, my story.

The Valedictory Dinner Speech for 2019.

It is an honour. Privilege, opportunity and failure will be a central theme tonight.

My parents got married and had two boys and forged a dwelling in the wilderness of Wembley. And then when Iron Ore was found, an opportunity saw this family move to the Pilbara town of Roebourne. In 1976 Mum travelled to Perth, well, Subiaco, and I was born.

Ben, thank you for including the bit about having taught, because this implies 196 | Year 12

My brothers, six and seven years older than me, maybe explains why my fashion sense is retro – hand me downs.

Growing up in Wickham was unreal, FACT - these are some of my Instagram moments, back when I had nowhere to post. Wickham was a purpose-built town for the families of the workers of the Robe River Iron Ore Company. A small town that you had to drive through Roebourne to get to – Karratha was to the south and Port Hedland was to the north. As Johnny Cougar said, “I can breathe in a small town.”

It was no locks, no curfews, no shoes and no worries. Boys, these memories of my childhood are more vivid than any pixelated image on a smartphone. I had a BMX, black and gold. This small town was my world. Spinifex, red dirt, white sand and turquoise water. I spent my days sailing catamarans, catching mackerel and mud crabs, playing cricket. I debuted in black and white – at fullback in the Under 10s for the Magpies. I camped out at Boat Beach and watched movies in an open-air cinema. My friends and I made plans today for tomorrow. And we turned up. If I did not know what was happening, I got on my mongoose and rode until I found the other bikes piled up on a front lawn.

This was home and life was mint.

Life was ace…

And then it wasn’t – for a bit.

To condense this part of my life. Dad moved to Albany, my brothers to Perth, they became Brisbane House Boarders here at Scotch. Mum and I followed three years later. I arrived in Swanbourne at the end of 1987, a good year for the

Claremont Football Club. I entered Swanbourne Primary in Year 6 minus a rat’s tail – yeah, I know - cut off by my polo shirt, boat shoe wearing preppy big brothers. “Don’t embarrass us, Nicky” they said. The words of wisdom I have carried ever since.

It is here where I should tell you the part of the journey/story where I studied hard and was placed in PEAC and offered an academic scholarship to Scotch College.

But I can’t.

In 1989, another good year for the Claremont Football Club, I came to Scotch as a skinny kid sporting that bowl cut look for Year 8 (funny how that come back into fashion this year).

However, before the academic year started, I attended a camp at Moray, a get-to-know the other students, type arrangement. The 89 intakes for Ross and St Andrews headed to Moray. 30 years wow… We slept in sleeping bags on the balcony. Here I got to know a kid, who up until then was the younger brother of one of my brothers’ mates, and chief tormentor of the Swanny Tigers, Mark Gale, and David, you know the guy whose uncle died.

The good old Ross House Boys. I have a unique relationship with each and every one of them. And each to a degree are a hero of mine. I have learnt so much from them.

Boys - Good friends are worth more than money in the bank.

Moray is a place that holds a lot of memories for a lot of people in this room.

I still go there for the 50 Mile Walk, and I take my family when I can. I know it is not for everyone. But I am at home there.

For me, Scotch was awesome. I was comfortable – I was happy more often than not. I have no doubt that after my family, this place has had a major impact on shaping me into who I am. I see this as a privilege, one that for a long time I thought I had failed to live up to. More on that later.

Here in my journey, I should to tell you the story of how I used my time at Scotch wisely. How I applied myself to my studies.

Winning Exhibitions and a Beazley Medal, and an invitation to study Commerce at UWA that led me to a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxbridge, one of only 104 in 106 years.

But I can’t.

I looked out windows dreaming of playing footy. I got by because I could write, and I could tell a story. Maybe I failed to achieve to my potential. My TEE (old talk

for ATAR) was good, but not excellent. My Scotch journey was coming to an end, I thought. So, what was I going to do when I left school? To be or not to be, hey? Oh, me oh life, what will be my verse?

Do I tell you the part in my story where I knew exactly what I wanted to do? That from when I was a young boy, I dreamed of teaching English. Can’t tell you that one. #awkward Thank God, sorry Rev Gary - for JIGCAL, a computer-generated survey that informed you of what occupations best suited your character traits that gave me some ideas.

Archaeologist History teacher Librarian English teacher Yeah, I know, ace right? Indiana Jones.

I started a Bachelor of Arts in Education in1994. I completed it in 2004. Parents don’t panic. Long way round, but I will explain. By the end of 2004, I had completed a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Graduate Diploma in Education.

It wasn’t all an endless summer in this period of time. In the gap between leaving school and completing university, I was somewhat lost. In this part of my life, I often felt like a failure… Like I couldn’t do anything, that I would fail. University and me just weren’t working. But I now look back and realise I was not ready.

I had a range of jobs in between study, endless sales in a retail in sports store, I was an inside and outside clerk in a law firm. I also helped my dad – he ran a general store in Cervantes for 15 years.

4.30 am baking…not for me. Were these failures? No, I think they were epiphanies.

In this period of time, Celia inspired me to go back to uni – to get it done.

At the end of 2004, Reg MacManus (the former Head of Brisbane House) offered me my first teaching job out in Kalgoorlie.

Part-time English and Part-time Phys Ed. – what a chance, opportunity or privilege.

Two years there, lost my last game of footy with Kalgoorlie City Kangas – firstever Grand Final I played in by 3 points.

Last game of footy in black and white, the colours I started in. Time to change. I wanted to come back to Perth.

Before I came to teach here at Scotch, I went through two interviews two years apart. I failed to get the job here on the first occasion – fail? No, because I got more teaching experience, and the

opportunity to work as a Head of Year and House Head. I got the job here the second time. I could waste time thinking who got the job before me – they are probably still on staff – but what would that do?

Teaching here at Scotch is a privilege, I have to remind myself that. I have met so many wonderful people. I work with so many good people. I get to interact with staff, students and yes, parents, some I have known a long time, some my whole life. It is difficult to explain the feeling I have working here.

Getting to teach here, a 20-year journey, could have been different. It is not an easy job, but it is a privilege. I do smile and think that if the staff were asked in 1993 who was most likely to be standing here tonight, I would not have been in the conversation. In fact, betting agents would not have run a line on me - and who let him back in the Drummond Gates.

20 years later Galey and I coached the First 18 here together and now that was a privilege. Getting to work with a mate.

Boys – Good friends are worth more than money in the bank….

Ben’s email mentioned the idea of a journey at Scotch. I have told you mine – 1,500kms, 30 years from Year 8 to now, 20 years from graduation to working here.

BOYS, please, please, please – slow down, it doesn’t have to be 24/7. You don’t have to post every conversation, every picture, every thought every second. You don’t have to know everything everyone is doing instantly. There is a tyranny in convenience. Trust your memory – it works. Read some books, they work. Write to a mate on paper and post it old school.

Open your eyes and hearts – your heroes might be closer than you think. Please, please, please - Stop gossiping. It hurts people. It hurts you.

Boys – life has a funny way of circling on you.

Welcome to the OSC…this is your place, a club for life…this is a part of you.

Tartan, pipes, maroon, blue and gold.

It is in you, like it or not, it is in you. Others have and will give the stats – it’s more than that. We remember. Tonight, you join the “forefathers”.

And as you have heard, my life has been pretty ordinary so far. And so, boys – no, young men - I recommend you go and live an ordinary life.

Thank you.
