A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks
Trial HSC The Trial HSC begins in Week 5 and runs across two weeks, from Monday, 15 August until Friday, 26 August 2022. Year 12 is busily revising and revising again in the lead-up to what will help them prepare for the ‘real deal’, which is being held in October. We wish them all the very best in their preparations and remind them to check in with their teachers and peers if they have any queries about the course content. We are all here to support you! COVID – Update and Masks You would have read in my COVID-19 update distributed earlier this week that we are following the Chief Medical Officer’s advice and encouraging students and staff to continue wearing facemasks – especially when inside. We have facemasks available in various locations around the College. Please ask if you need one, and we’d appreciate parents encouraging their children to follow this advice if they are able to. Students who travel on the College buses will also be encouraged to wear masks, and those over 12 years who travel on public transport will already be doing this.

If your child contracts COVID-19, please continue to advise the College at connect@scotsallsaints. nsw.edu.au so we can make sure to watch for spikes in cases. Thank you for your continued support. 2023 Musical Announcement Calling all pirates, cabin boys and ladies in waiting. Scots All Saints College Performing Arts Academy’s 2023 musical will be “Pirates of Penzance.” In partnership with Dr Jim Coyle, Associate Professor of Composition and Education from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, our production will be a modern adaptation of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic. It will showcase the creative, performing and musical talents of students as we blend the arts across the largest team in the College. The world premiere of this bespoke performance will be a new take on an old classic that all will love. Watch this space! Farewell to Mr Le Couteur Head of Boarding, Mr Ant Le Couteur, finishes up with the College on Friday, 19 August, and we wish him a warm farewell as he embarks on a new role with Geelong Grammar School in Victoria. Mr Le Couteur has been a leading light on the Boarding team, tackling all challenges with a positive can-do attitude, and his presence will be greatly missed. There will be an opportunity to say our goodbyes with a special Boarders dinner being held next Thursday evening in the Dining Hall.
