Nicole Spanbroek Creative Arts Teacher I am delighted to confirm that Brendan Zani received the National Excellence in Teaching Award for Innovation in Online Teaching. For the award, parents nominate teachers who have put extra thought into digital methods to enhance learnings, worked deliberately to motivate their students, frequently interacted with them and facilitated their interactions with each other. The award is presented to just 12 primary and secondary school teachers across Australia and is a magnificent achievement. Many congratulations, Brendan.

I also must thank all our staff for successfully adapting to the everchanging work environment imposed during this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether it was social distancing at the College, adapting to working from home or teaching remotely via our Scotch College Online Teaching programme, our staff showed great strength of character and resilience, successfully adapting to the rapid changes taking place. Not only did this situation demonstrate what our staff are capable of achieving when faced with a significant challenge, but it also strengthened our sense of belonging, as we supported each other through the crisis and ensured we continued to deliver the highest level of teaching and learning to our students.

In conclusion, 2020 was yet another successful year for the College. Despite facing significant external challenges, Scotch College continues to thrive with our staff at the heart of everything we do.

Irrigation Technician

By Mr Mark Watts Operations and Project Manager

OVER THE PAST 26 YEARS, David has modernised the College’s reticulation and aquatic centre. From early on in his career at Scotch, he identified inefficiencies and set about updating them till the day he retired. The list of innovations and improvements are many: the bore water filtration system and a new waterwise reticulation system for the ovals and garden beds. With the addition of a two-wire system to all our control valves and a 4G network, we are now able to control all our system remotely, with the ability to turn it off-and-on 24-hours-a-day. In the aquatic centre, David was instrumental in introducing more efficient pumps to provide the correct dosage of chemicals in the pool.

In the last couple of years, David worked closely with our architects to deliver the system we now have in place around the Mathematics and Commerce Building. When he decided the horizon was approaching for him to step down, take a deserved break and enjoy his grandchildren, he took Aaron under his wing, developing his knowledge of our systems so he could leave the College in safe hands. He likewise undertook a mentorship role with the aquatic centre.

Having had the pleasure of working with David for the past eight years, I can say that the cutting-edge technology he introduced has proved time and again that the investment is paying us back many times over. David was always willing to teach, explain and work with staff and contractors alike, nobody was different, all were equal. He has left a legacy for the next generation to embrace and a drive to always improve.

Director of Finance and Corporate Services

Dr Alec O’Connell Headmaster

AFTER 16 DEDICATED YEARS of financial integrity, unwavering service to staff, students, Council and the Scotch community, and incredible stewardship of our financial and capital resources, Paul Davidson completed his time in charge of everything that matters outside of the classroom.

To succeed in the role of Bursar and then Director of Finance and Corporate Services, a high level of business acumen is a given, which Paul has in spades. Paul’s real success in his role stemmed from the personal charisms he brought to it.

Everyone who has met Paul would agree his contribution to our College and his professionalism is notable in the way he has treated everyone, not simply whether he was producing exceedingly detailed financial papers and intricate financial modelling or demonstrating constant dedication to doing the right thing. One thing is for certain, Paul’s moral compass never left due North.

As Headmaster there are many important roles that one comes into contact with, and upon which you rely. However, the relationship between Headmaster and Chief Financial Officer is seminal to the College’s functioning and success. It has been a pleasure to call Paul a colleague and friend, and I am left with a deep sense of honour and thankfulness that I was able to spend almost 10 years working so closely with him. Given that Paul’s last 12 months traversed COVID-19, we have both pondered over the unpredictable challenges they have presented. The one thing I do know for certain is that we are able to face all the challenges which lie ahead because of the commitment, financial stewardship and service of Paul Davidson.

On behalf of the community and my own family, I wish Trish, Paul and their daughters Isabelle and Sophie the very best as they start a new and exciting period of their already rich lives – a well-deserved time earned through hard work, dedication and professionalism of the highest order.

Curriculum Administrator | ILT Integration Specialist

Mr Richard Ledger Head of Middle School

JARED FAINT ARRIVED AT SCOTCH COLLEGE in 2007, commencing as a Year 4 teacher. Jared was one of the early graduates from Edith Cowan University’s Middle Years Teacher Programme.

In 2009 Scotch opened the Middle School, and Jared moved into one of the three Year 7 classes. Here, he was a significant contributor to the development of the iLearn concept; the amalgamation of Science, Humanities and Information and Communications Technology into one integrated subject.

As the Middle School grew, our need for teachers increased, and Jared undertook the challenge of retraining as an Indonesian teacher. After winning scholarships to study in Indonesia to gain his Language degree, Jared became a Middle School Indonesian teacher for the next six years. Middle School’s growth continued, as did development in the Design Technology curriculum and Jared, hugely interested in this area, began taking Digital Design classes, creating the units of learning and leading our Year 6, 7 and 8 classes in this area. Jared has been a permanent fixture in the Design Department for the past six years.

As the College embraced the 1:1 Laptop Programme, Jared’s knowledge and enthusiasm for working with this media made him an ideal staff member to lead and develop Middle School staffs’ expertise. Jared has had a critical role as an ILT Integrator, supporting staff in using laptops and more recently working with iPads, as they become the device of choice.

Characterising Jared’s time in Middle School, both with students and staff is his patience. His ability and willingness to listen as students and staff present ideas and issues, and to help them form ideas into plans or break issues down and approach them in a doable, confidence-inspiring, step-by-step manner is remarkable.

Jared Faint is a man, teacher and colleague who knows how to make the most out of every moment in every day. His optimism, flexibility, versatility and generosity with his time are the hallmarks of his character. A character Scotch College has benefitted from enormously.

Careers Advisor

Mr James Hindle Director of Student and Staff Wellbeing

CAREERS COUNSELLORS such as Pete Frusher are a rarity these days. His knowledge – of course requirements, subject selection, VET, WACE, International Baccalaureate and the ATAR – is second-to-none. Whilst these are often a mystery to many students and parents, Peter can make the complex understandable, and outline options in such a way that a family can make the best choice for their son.

But far more significant than his understanding of the complexities of upper-school courses and post-school options, Peter’s great strength has been his willingness to form connections with each and every student. He spends time collecting information on them and their progress, as well as talking with them one-on-one about their particular situation. His attention to detail, willingness to listen and work with boys and their parents, capacity to assess what is in the best interests of an individual and determination to follow-up have meant that his office is rarely empty.

We have been very fortunate to have Peter’s dedicated service for the last 17 years of his 47-year career in education. And to have benefitted from his long and illustrious career as an AFL umpire. Peter umpired in five WAFL grand finals and was highly regarded in the football community. He was a permanent fixture down at Memorial Ground each Friday afternoon and most Saturday mornings during the Winter Season, umpiring Public Schools Association Football matches of the 8As and 9As, as well as teams from the Fifths through to the Firsts. He did it all with a smile, rain, hail or shine.

Pete was also a willing participant in the school’s Outdoor Education programme, recognising the benefits which flow to young people when they learn outside the classroom. Nowhere was this philosophy better demonstrated than in his commitment to the Bibbulmun Track, which he walked with many Boarding groups.

Over the past five years, I have been fortunate to have an office near Peter’s – he has been a sounding board and source of wisdom and advice. He is honest and decent and is someone who has always put the boys first. He has earned his retirement. We wish him all the best and trust that his cycling brings him back past Scotch now and again.

Physical Education Teacher | Year Coordinator – Years 9 and 10

Mr James Hindle Director of Student and Staff Wellbeing

IT IS VERY HARD TO CONDENSE 31 years of service to Scotch College into a few words, but with David, I can do it in two: kindness and humility. In all of the many roles he has fulfilled at this school, these two characteristics have been the hallmark of his relationships with staff, students and parents.

As Head of Ferguson House from 2000–15, David provided the highest level of guidance and support to the boys in his care. I was very grateful for the support he showed me as a fellow House Head during this period. It was the same kindness which he displayed when he started as the Head of Hendry Junior Boarding House many years before.

In between, David took every opportunity to hammer home his message. Whether it was in coaching Football, Cricket or Golf – or whatever Sport needed covering; or speaking in Chapel; or running Friday Marching, David was always humble about where he had come from and grateful for all he has been given in life. And he always made the effort to be kind to others.

Perhaps nowhere were his kindness and humility on better display than the annual Year 8 Rottnest Camp (which shifted to Year 9 in 2015), which David ran for 15 years. As a leader, he was always focused on others and never sought the limelight. His message remained the same across the numerous meetings and down through the years – respect others and always consider the impact of your actions.

David has always done what is in the best interests of the boys. He has done it without fanfare, supporting his colleagues and keeping a watchful eye on those around him, regardless of their age. He is a thoroughly decent human being, a phrase he uses often to describe many of those around him. His humility would prevent him from applying the term to himself, but it fits perfectly.

We are richer because he has worked at our school, and we are poorer with his retirement. Doj leaves us with many memories, with our gratitude and with our best wishes for the next phase of his life with Sue and his boys, Mitch and Jack.

Boarding Head of Year 12 | Design & Technology Teacher

Mr Cas Gabriels Curriculum Leader – PE/HE

ASHLEY KEATCH CAME TO SCOTCH as a graduate teacher in 2004. Before teaching at the College, he had completed an apprenticeship as a wood machinist and furniture designer, worked as a design draftsperson and worked as a part-time combat engineer in the Australian Army.

In 2005 he joined Boarding, first as the Assistant Head of Year 7–8 Boarding then later as Boarding Head of Student Wellbeing and Recreation, from 2016–17, and finally as Boarding Head of Years 10, 11 and 12 from 2017. Through each of his roles in Boarding, Ash has built strong relationships with both parents and the rural community. His positive parenting skills enabled him to mentor, foster and develop lifelong relationships with the boys under his care.

Ash was the Curriculum Leader – Technology from 2008–15. During his tenure, he assisted with implementing the new Science, Design and Technology Building. His students regularly featured in the top three awards for the Out of the Woods competition at the WA Wood Show (student furniture), and one student won Australian Wood Review’s national student competition in the Best Use of Native Timbers category. He was also the first Design and Technology teacher to have combined PLC/Scotch classes in both ATAR and General. Course numbers later grew so much that Ash assisted PLC in setting up their own course.

While the new Science, Design and Technology Building was built, Ash designed and built the workbenches, racks and fit-out for each workshop. He spent two weeks of the school holidays designing and building the Middle School workshop. He assisted with the design and making of the Celtic crosses in the Middle School classrooms and designed and built multiple Senior School benches around the campus.

Over the years he has been involved in numerous co-curricular activities, including overseas and local tours, Bibbulmun Track walks and Friday and Saturday Sport, which included the famous Thirds Football team.

He will be remembered for his big heart and generous and selfless nature. We wish Ash, his wife Lisa and two kids Katie and Josh well for their next chapter.

Curriculum Leader – Commerce | Commerce Teacher

Mr Howard Loosemore Commerce Teacher

NATHAN KIME JOINED THE SCOTCH Commerce Department in 2007 from Ballajura Community College. He worked with Andrew Tibbitt, Grant Bennett and myself to build the department, applying significant energies to the Year 10 programme, particularly around teaching financial literacy. The department soon grew, and with his success in Year 11 Accounting, Nathan found himself full-time in Commerce teaching Year 12.

In 2010, Business Management was introduced and together we worked as a tight-knit team to consistently become the top school for Business. All Nathan’s Year 12 classes at the College have achieved a top 10 finish, a consistency which is enviable and admirable. His endless focus, both on the creation of resources as well as his Commerce pedagogy, saw the department grow further still. He took over the department in 2013 and set about sculpting it as he saw fit. His significant investment and integration of digital technology into his teaching saw the department at the cutting edge in the school, and is a signature of his teaching, particularly in Accounting.

He taught the top business student in 2012 and 2015 and, under his strict guidance and fastidious management, the department continued to grow taking on Courtney Ellis and Joel Kandiah. Over his 13 years of service, Nathan played a significant role in the co-curricular field, coaching Years 7, 8 and 9 Cricket, Seconds Football and Athletics. In 2020, he oversaw the successful move of his department to the new Mathematics and Commerce Building. He is a respected leader and will be sorely missed by his team.

Head of Middle School

Dr Alec O’Connell Headmaster

FROM THE MOMENT I met Richard in 2011, over a set of draft plans for a new Middle School, I knew I would be working with someone who possessed a high level of understanding about the Teaching and Learning process. Richard was a passionate advocate of boys’ education with an innate sense of what really matters to students, parents and staff.

He is a staunch advocate for the International Baccalaureate’s philosophy, particularly its approach to developing its teachers, its focus on a balanced, concept-led curriculum and the priority it places on developing transdisciplinary skills through the Approaches to Learning. In many ways, Richard lived the values of a Baccalaureate education.

Within his 12-year tenure at Scotch, Richard has been the Head of Middle School, Acting Head of Senior School, Acting Headmaster and Acting Head of Boarding. He was always quick to get across the intricacies and subtleties of running a complex educational system.

Prior to his appointment, Richard was the principal of a K–8 international school in Indonesia for seven years. He has also been the principal and deputy principal in Government primary and K–10 district high schools in metropolitan, country and remote Western Australia, and a literacy consultant and lecturer with Edith Cowan University, working with post-graduate teachers in Australia and Oxford for five years.

Richard’s philosophy has always focused on working alongside his staff and community. He continually placed himself in the role of a learner. Richard lived and breathed three core tenets:

• The importance of positive relationships • The placement of a high priority on empowerment • The recognition that service lies at the heart of being a teacher

At the end of 2020, Richard resigned from his position to support his wife Sue’s appointment as Dean of Education at Newcastle University. Richard will always remain a valued colleague and friend, and it was initially hard for me to take his news with rapturous excitement. However, I am so pleased that Sue and Richard are about to commence a new phase in their already rich educational and personal journey. We all wish Richard the very best, and thanks for a job well done. Many young men will recall Richard’s leadership and stewardship throughout their adolescence as seminal to their development as young adults.

Isaak Ventouras Year 8

MR LEDGER. HOW CAN ONE SUM UP HIS CAREER AT SCOTCH IN FIVE WORDS? I can give you one word… impossible! It would be impossible to sum up the contributions of Mr Ledger to the Scotch community in so few words.

His roles at the College have included the Head of Middle School, Acting Head of Senior School, commentator extraordinaire, insightful and entertaining speech presenter and singer-songwriter (so I have been told!). He was a tireless and dedicated member of staff who would be the first to lend a helping hand in a time of need and the first to celebrate in times of triumph.

Mr Ledger’s departure has left a massive void in the school. All the boys, past and present, and staff will surely miss the mane of curly grey hair as he strolled down the hallways of Middle School, acknowledging each and every boy. His uncanny ability to remember everyone’s name (although he did sometimes get it wrong) and a little bit about them is what made him so special.

Mr Ledger will ultimately be remembered for his vision and fruition of a great Middle School. He believed that boys on the cusp of adolescence required a unique setting to allow them to grow and develop into fine young men. Mr Ledger believed that Middle School was a great place for boys to try something new, to make a mistake, but more importantly to learn from that mistake.

Mr Ledger will not only be remembered for his contributions to our school, but for his contributions outside of our school. Whether that was in Sports, community-based activities or anything in between, Mr Ledger was always front and centre to contribute his time. Everyone at Scotch who has been touched by Mr Ledger’s kindness wishes him all the best for the next chapter of his journey.

Mathematics Teacher

Ms Shirin Reyhani Dean of Teaching and Learning – Senior School

DEBORAH LEE CAME TO SCOTCH IN 2000, and her passion for providing effective and interesting learning opportunities for her students was immediately evident. She would use a variety of ways to help her students engage and understand, and was a firm believer in using manipulatives in the classroom.

She has contributed a great deal to Scotch College through the many positions she has held since arriving. She has been a Mathematics teacher, Curriculum Leader (Mathematics), Deputy Director of Teaching and Learning, Dean of Curriculum and Head of Analytics. Deborah always approaches any task required of her with enthusiasm and professionalism. She guided the Mathematics Department through the implementation of both the International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes within the College, always leading by example, and taught the first Mathematics Higher Level classes. She has also been a keen member of Alexander House for the majority of her time at the College.

Beyond Scotch, Deborah has been involved in both the state and national associations for Mathematics teachers, assisting in organising conferences and opportunities to further Mathematics education. She has been a member of the steering committee developing the national curriculum, providing input into the senior Mathematics courses. Deborah’s contributions to Mathematics education, both at the College and in the wider community, will continue to inspire current and future educators.

Head of Strings

Miss Penny Hooper Deputy Head of Junior School

IBBY MIKAJLO WORKED IN VARIOUS ROLES across all three sub-schools at Scotch College for 12 years, from peripatetic teaching to Head of Strings. Her dedication and commitment assisted many boys in their journey to learn an instrument, predominantly the violin and viola. Ibby was instrumental in the Philharmonic Orchestras, Senior Chamber Strings, Scotch Youth Strings and Junior School Combined Ensemble.

Her passion and devotion to the development of Music saw Ibby contribute to many a boys’ musical education as showcased through community events, musical concerts and sub-school performances. In Junior School, our appreciation stems from the support that Ibby provided to formalities from Junior School Soirées, musical performances at Assemblies and the annual Presentation Afternoon ceremony. Her love of musical instruments and personal talents allowed her to guide students and provide opportunities for students to begin their journey in strings from Junior School.

In addition to working alongside Music Department personnel, Ibby was often working with students to compose and ignite a passion for music. Her involvement with Indigenous students to co-compose a musical piece was one of the many highlights of her time at the College.

Ibby’s passion for best practice in teaching violin saw her working in a tertiary capacity, discovering and pursuing excellence. In partnership with The University of Western Australia, Ibby continues her research work in the field of Music. Her skills and passion are now utilised by Instrumental School Services working with Bob Hawke Senior High School, Leeming Senior High School, Churchlands Senior High School, Rostrata Primary School, Attadale Primary School and Bateman Primary School, in particular with their string orchestras, viola and violin educational programmes.

Thank you Ibby for your tremendous contribution to Scotch College over the years. We wish you all the very best for your next musical adventure.

Registrar

Mrs Kate Quinn Director of Advancement and Philanthropy

DI MORAN’S PASSION AND KNOWLEDGE of Scotch College was evident long before her appointment in Admissions. She was already an active Scotch mum with her two sons Nic (OSC 2007) and Seb (OSC 2010) attending the school. With the boys participating – very successfully – in the many co-curricular activities on offer, Di was an active member of the Friends of Scotch Music and involved in the many parent sports groups and other aspects of the school.

In my role as Director of Marketing, Advancement and Community Relations, I first met Di in 2009. Her warmth, engaging personality and first-hand knowledge of the school made her the ideal ‘face of the College’ for the role of Admissions Manager, and later Registrar, for the past 12 years, working with families who sought guidance and support in choosing a school.

Di’s success in both day and boarding enrolments was reflected in her ability to connect with people as their first contact with the College, promoting the benefits of the academic, pastoral and co-curricular programmes. Her tireless energy was evident in the extraordinary number of tours she conducted, her ability to communicate the school’s potential and making every family her priority. Her warmth, sense of humour and enthusiasm won over local, regional and international families, who sought advice and reassurance when choosing the right school for their son. Di took great pride in her work and was respected not only by the administration staff but by the teachers, who understood the importance of families touring through the school and visiting their classrooms. Another key aspect of Di’s role was her behind-the-scenes professional relationship with many large companies in Perth and their relocation agents, who employed families from interstate as well as overseas.

On behalf of the entire school community, thank you Di, for your commitment and dedication to Scotch College. Your contribution to the school, as well as to so many families, is enormous. We wish you all the best and success in your future endeavours.

Academic Support Teacher

Mr Richard Ledger Head of Middle School

WHEN WAYNE RAMSAY WAS FIRST APPOINTED at Scotch College, it was made up of two campuses; a Junior and Senior School. Direct from Canada, Wayne was initially employed on a short-term, long-service leave contract. At the time, the Junior School Head was Paul Aldred. Unsurprisingly, Wayne’s energy and passion for teaching were recognised quickly and, not long after, he won himself a permanent position as a Junior School teacher.

When Paul retired, he was replaced by Greg Stowe and again Wayne’s teaching experience and enthusiasm were recognised, and he was appointed as the first Deputy Head of Junior School. Wayne has taught right across the curriculum, including Design, Mathematics Specialist and teaching as a generalist in the classroom. He also organised the Year 7 Singapore Tour for 10 years, which saw Scotch boys travelling to Singapore and hosting Singaporean students in Perth. In 2009, Middle School launched and Wayne became the first Deputy Head of Middle School. This signalled an enormous period of growth for the College, moving from six to 20 classes across Year 6, 7 and 8. Wayne’s most effective mechanism for student management and pastoral care was to immerse himself in student activity at recess and lunchtimes and he has long held the mantle of King of the Handball Court in Middle School.

Running was also one of Wayne’s passions. The Cross Country Running Club was a big hit. Wayne must have run miles and miles around our grounds while managing this club. His love of floorball saw him as the permanent captain, coach and goalkeeper in the Staff v Students Floorball events. The Middle School Staff v Students trophy, not surprisingly, is known as the Ramsay Cup. Wayne has had a long interest in the Pipe Band. He accompanied two of the international pipe band tours; one to Washington in 2013 and one to Nova Scotia in 2015, where he hosted the band and the travelling group at his family’s home. In 2015, Wayne stepped down as Deputy Head of Middle School to move to a part-time Academic Support role. Of all the things that we have to remember Wayne by, the stand-out feature of a terrific educator who has made a difference is his engagement and advocacy for the boys who require additional support. For 26 years of outstanding contribution and commitment, thank you, Wayne.

Admissions and Community Database Officer

Ms Cass Macgowan Alumni and Marketing Officer

KIM MADE A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION to the administration of Scotch College, most recently in the Admissions team. Her efficiency, professionalism and warm nature ensured that she was an integral part of the College for 20 years.

Kim started her career at the College in 2000, assisting the Dean of Studies Roger Winwood. She moved to the position of Secretary to the Headmaster in 2002, assisting the then Headmaster Rev Andrew Syme. She joined the Admissions team in 2006 as the Admissions Officer. Working closely with both the Director of Marketing, Advancement and Community Engagement and Registrar, Kim was often one of the first points of contact for new families. She would assist families with the transition, collating all necessary documentation, providing them with relevant information and answering queries. Her warm nature and efficiency meant she was held in high regard by sub-school administration staff and incoming families.

One of Kim’s recent professional achievements was assisting with the successful transition to an online onboarding process. Colleagues valued her high level of knowledge in using the database, and she was often the person they would turn to when they needed help.

Kim was also known for her athletic prowess. Many took an interest in her training for the New York Marathon, which she completed in 2014. Staff advice from the Sport Department ranged from food plans, exercise regimes and tips to ease muscle soreness, to the concise: “Suck it up and keep running”.

Kim’s colleagues attest to her friendly nature, approachability and good taste in music, as well as her propensity for singing along to the radio. She knew almost everyone at Scotch, having interacted with administration, ancillary and teaching staff across all three sub-schools, as well as with parents and students, during her 20 years. Kim was valued for her knowledge, but also for her warm nature and willingness to help when needed.

English Teacher

Ms Rebecca Shiel Curriculum Leader – English

AS A TEACHER, DAWN HAS CONTRIBUTED EXTENSIVELY to Scotch College. After 30 years of teaching, 11 devoted to the College, it soon became apparent that Dawn is a master of her craft and loves making a difference in the lives of her students and contributing to the education of men who are a blessing to their community. Students are central and crucial to her professional practice; they are known, nurtured and she, like a benign wizard, draws confidence out of the most reticent and resigned students and even extracts meaning out of the enigma that is ATAR English. Dawn is the consummate professional who has embraced all opportunities provided by the College to develop her expertise: from WACE teacher and examiner to a devotee of the Language and Literature Diploma Programme.

As a colleague, the English Department and Scotch community have been strengthened by Dawn’s steadfast, calm and conscientious service. She is supportive in a crisis and inexhaustibly generous in times of increased demand. Dawn has devoted long hours to her English teaching, mentor responsibilities, Year 10 Service, coaching Debating and, as a gentle but assertive voice on the Staff Association Committee. As a teacher, mentor and team member she offers a wealth of knowledge in her subject, is passionate about student learning and always, always offers kindness and respect to all.

As a person, Dawn personifies the best of humanity. She now steps into retirement, or ‘refirement’, as she refers to it, to savour a blessed time with her four beloved children and beautiful grandson and, no doubt, her husband Michael. Additionally, she plans to devote her energy and time to establishing and developing the Mukti Community Service project, which provides the Scotch community with an opportunity to provide educational resources for disadvantaged girls in India, a country close to her heart.

Dawn has left an indelible impression on her colleagues and community. Perception this may be, but it is a collective perception, shared by all who have been blessed to be a part of her professional journey at the College.
