OLD COLLEGIANS<br />
Straight <strong>Scotch</strong><br />
FROM THE PRESIDENT<br />
The 100 th year of <strong>Scotch</strong> has certainly<br />
started off with a bang for the Old<br />
Collegians. It was great to see so many Old<br />
Collegians at the centenary celebration<br />
launch and sculpture unveiling in February.<br />
We hope that as many Old Collegians as<br />
possible take the opportunity to either<br />
continue or revisit their connection<br />
with the College throughout this year of<br />
celebrations.<br />
With the Torrens Park Centenary Sculpture<br />
now unveiled, SCOCA’s excitement is<br />
building for the unveiling of the Mitcham<br />
Campus Centenary Sculpture at the end<br />
of the year, which has been fully funded<br />
by SCOCA. I recently had the opportunity<br />
to visit the artist’s studio to see the work<br />
in progress, and it is looking fantastic.<br />
It will be a magnificent addition to the<br />
Mitcham Campus.<br />
After the tremendous success of our<br />
community drinks in Sydney last year<br />
we look forward to holding an event in<br />
Melbourne this year on Friday 12 <strong>April</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
at the Waterside Hotel, Flinders Street. If<br />
it’s not too late, please see our website for<br />
details: scotchoc.com.au. We hope to make<br />
this a permanent biennial fixture on our<br />
OC calendar.<br />
We have just completed another round<br />
of interviews for our Old Collegians<br />
Scholarship commencing 2020. Sitting in<br />
on the interviews is one of my favourite<br />
parts of the Presidential role and this<br />
year again showed me that there are<br />
some pretty exceptional young students<br />
out there. Out of a strong field we are<br />
pleased to award the Scholarship to Lily<br />
Castine-Price. We look forward watching<br />
her progression through the College and<br />
then welcoming her into the Old Collegian’s<br />
ranks as we have now welcomed our most<br />
recent Scholarship graduate, Sophie<br />
Fotheringham (’18).<br />
One more event I would like to spruik is the<br />
Old Collegian’s Golf Day. It is a little earlier<br />
this year (Friday 3 May) and hopefully a<br />
few degrees warmer. The Ambrose format<br />
is back by popular demand and tickets<br />
are at bargain prices again. All details and<br />
bookings are at scotchoc.com.au, feel free<br />
to get a foursome together or sign on as a<br />
single and we will find you a group.<br />
If you would like to keep up with more<br />
Old Collegians events and updates, we<br />
encourage you to join the official Facebook<br />
group at facebook.com/groups/scotchoc.<br />
