PRODUCTION Dear Reader, The publication of the Scotch College Reporter is the culmination of the past year at Scotch College. It provides insight into College life at the time of publication and reflects on all three sub-schools of the College, Junior, Middle, and Senior, as well as the various co-curricular disciplines such as Sport and the Arts. This year’s Reporter not only highlights Scotch’s three primary values of integrity, service and stewardship, but also embodies Captain of School, Denver Quantrill’s powerful challenge for 2016, to “stand united,” in its hybrid design that incorporates the traditional with future visions of the College and the education that it provides.

From the outset, the committee was quite focused on ensuring the school traditions remained an integral part of the theme.

However, a consensus was reached about also wanting to include elements that reflected the changing educational

landscape of the College and its surrounding environment, and soon the theme of “a system of tradition transcending into the future” was decided upon. Thus, the blue of Scotch College was used for the background of the cover as it was seen to emphasise School tradition, in addition to being a colour strongly associated with technological imagery of the future.

The College can be likened to a collective system of sorts, continually operating and constantly being upgraded and advanced to meet the ever-changing environment and needs of both students and society.

Encouraging personal growth from academic enrichment to helping those less fortunate than us, the College is one of limitless possibilities and potential for all, and prides itself on ‘preparing boys for life’. The committee was keen to illustrate such growth and development for life in the future, and chose to adopt a flowing design

of inter-connected lines that are reflective of circuitry and transportation systems and indicate the current and future connectivity and movement of the Scotch community.

A final key aspect of this year’s design was the choice to incorporate the House crests in place of the tartans that had become a custom in previous Reporters; we felt that the crests were better suited to the design elements that were present.

A number of hours were poured into organising the 2016 Reporter, and a special thanks is due to all involved. In particular, a great deal of thanks goes to Mrs Girando and Miss Flowers for guiding the production journey and spending numerous hours collating the various reports and photographs. In closing, we would like to thank all of the contributors who took time to make 2016 a memorable year.

HEADMASTER’S REPORT

There is no doubt that 2016 was one of the more interesting years in which I have been involved as an educator. The WA economy brought with it many unique challenges for families and schools across the State; this was especially so in the independent sector where the ability to pay school fees is a significant driver of choice. Times like these make one reflect on what really matters for an organisation; and that we must continue to ensure that our work is framed by strategic impact, not just by good intent.

I recently read an interesting book called Light Footprint Management (LFP) by Boucee (2013).

It was one of those random selections to fill in time while waiting to catch a plane. Interestingly, the author coined a phrase ‘VUCA’ to refer to the type of environment within which the military and business now find themselves operating; VUCA standing for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous.

speak about reinforcing the culture that made Scotch strong in the first place. Why? The answer is simple. A focus on culture grounds us in something that is unchanging; it helps to build a sense of alignment – a single direction in which to move; it serves as filtering who is with us and who is not; and, it helps us to articulate our values to our own community and the wider community.

A VUCA environment is certainly the case for education at the moment. There is still much uncertainty regarding the Commonwealth’s direction on school funding. Due to significant changes in the local oil and gas industry, the WA enrolment landscape is certainly volatile and uncertain. In the last 12-18 months Scotch alone has seen some 35 families transferred by major companies back to their country of origin.

Never before have I had so many conversations with colleagues about enrolments across the non-government sector, including the Independent and Catholic sectors.

In times of challenge some organisations and schools start jumping at shadows in reaction to a change in the external conditions over which they have no control. Instead they should remain focused on what made them strong in the first place – their culture. It is highly likely that a school’s cultural advantage, such as ours at Scotch, has been a key driver of their success through good and bad times and it is highly likely that a strong focus on culture will continue to drive our own future success and growth.

What does this mean for Scotch?

Late in 2016 I presented to a group of CEOs of Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) regarding the challenges facing schools in the current economic environment. While it is tempting to articulate some highbrow intellectual discourse on economics and cost controls, I chose to

4

There is a common saying in business circles that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Psychology Professor Edgar Schein, in his book Organizational Culture & Leadership chose another way to phrase this hypothesis ‘culture determines and limits strategy’.

I would argue that if your culture is weak, so will be your capacity to deliver on strategy.

Why do we focus on culture at Scotch?

Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why? It is a way of saying ‘this is how things are done around here’. Focusing on our culture provides purpose, provides accountability for exceeding performance and models the organisation’s core values.

Some leaders and academics believe that if something cannot be measured then it cannot be improved. In some instances, I share a similar view. However, there is a counter argument and one we should not ignore; that is, not all things that matter can be measured. Trying to assess and measure one’s organisational culture is one such example.

Having said this, I believe as a College it is our responsibility to find ways to measure, articulate and build upon our cultural strength and our cultural mores (our way of doing things, customs and practices).

Tools such as our annual surveys, parent support and focus groups, and other feedback mechanisms can be used to measure our culture and hold ourselves accountable to the intended deliverables.

There are some who refer to culture as being the soft part of the organisation. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In the 26 September, 2016 edition of The Australian Financial Review

(AFR), the concept of culture being a soft outcome for businesses was again reinforced.

In an article entitled ‘Investor Backlash over CEO ‘diversity’ bonuses’, Patrick Durkin was critical of what he termed flaky bonuses being paid to CEOs for achieving diversity and cultural targets. While I agree that the achievement of these targets should simply be part of a CEO’s base salary, I do not support the premise that they are flaky constructs. In my view if you don’t know how to measure your culture, then go and find out how you can.

Cultural reform and/or reinforcement may well be the most difficult task facing leaders and their community. In challenging times, it is a non-negotiable imperative that we must be able to clearly articulate our culture.

Cultural differentiation is critical to growth and improvement. Culture must be intentionally created in order to provide differentiation between like organisations. If we can’t do this as a school, then the only difference between Scotch and the others will be the colour of our uniforms and our postcode.

If we continue to get it right then we will not only continue to deliver on our promises, but hopefully exceed what our stakeholders expect us to deliver. Now more than ever we must exhibit cultural clarity. We all have to embrace and actively engage with our culture, we must be held accountable for demonstrating the values that embody who we are and we need to use examples and stories to reinforce the culture we expect and demand.

In essence, the benefits of creating and promoting a strong culture are numerous. If we stay focused on culture it will lead to buy-in and organisational commitment, thus engendering a sense of pride and loyalty for past, current and future members of the Scotch community.

Furthermore, cultural clarity provides a lens through which change agendas can be driven, and creates a shared vision and purpose that can help drive employment practices and ultimately provide a strong intrinsic framework for reward and progress.

During times of challenge, organisations require a clear strategy that is grounded in their organisation’s culture, not based on some trendy business maxim. Schools are

no different and the bedrock of Scotch is our culture, no matter if the external environment is economically buoyant or challenged.

that the challenge today is to work out how to stay competitive amid constant turbulence and disruption.

Our strategy moving forward has to remain simple and focused. We should always back our culture, have a clear strategic plan which has values, vision and innovation at its core.

Our vision and mission must drive passion, purpose, character and global citizenship. We must continue to attract, retain and develop great teachers through allowing them to share in our successes and work with us during challenging times.

So within the context of what Boucee’s outlines as a ‘Light Footprint Organisation’, what should we be focusing on at Scotch?

Scotch must be seen as a school that develops future leaders, both staff and students. We must continue to promote a sense of a strong inter and intra connection amongst our community.

Most importantly we must continue to be a caring and faith based Christian community; one that will always be there before, during and after a boy graduates from our College; in times of great celebration and times of difficulty.

Quite often the dichotomy between organisations as a machine and organisations as a community is debated in business circles.

This debate has gone on for some time. As Boucee (2013, p.172) states, ‘this shift in focus from income, wealth and material wellbeing to happiness, contentment and psychological or spiritual wellbeing, seems likely to lead to a rebalancing of the machine or community dualism that has shaped the management debate for a century.’

In 2016 Scotch was and still is a $50m+ business. As such, being machine driven is critical in that it requires us to have sound practices and strong financial and HR underpinning; if not, our future growth and development will be compromised. A sharp focus on business must be coupled with an even stronger focus on community, thus ensuring that both arms of the College are well served in order to drive our ongoing success.

The overriding principle of any organisation is to acknowledge that the world has changed and that we should not blindly continue to operate based on memory and historical emotion – colloquially referred to as the ‘good old days’.

John Kotter is one of the world’s leading business academics and rightly points out

Having a guiding vision - we must continue to personify the College and connect to its essence or brand. We must carry the founder’s vision or initial intent. At Scotch you need to look no further than to the story of Jane Alexander who in 1896 donated 500 pounds to establish a Presbyterian school for boys. While recognition of the past is critical, any guiding vision for today is the acceptance that change is a given in a VUCA environment and that if we are to continue to lead we must drive the necessary change. If we stay still, we will actually be going backwards.

Modular Gemba – operating as traditional, functional and siloed needs to grow into an alliance of autonomous multi-disciplinary teams. We must promote and role model the concept of subsidiarity, that is, matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralised competent staff member at the College. This should ensure that decisions are made at the best possible level to increase effectiveness. Organisations that go nowhere and grind to a halt are usually led by micro managers; leaders who believe they are the holders of all ideas and strategy.

Yin and Yang – essentially we have to be dialectical and constantly reconciling, negotiating and trading off. We have to be machine and community driven, centralised and decentralised, fast and reflective, opportunistic and persistent, hopeful and fearful. We must be very much aware that as a school operating in a VUCA environment is as much a community of people as it is a machine for creating value.

Collaboration – we are part of a wider community with its own interests and alliances.

In other words, we should not operate in a vacuum. Recent examples of this are the MOUs with PLC, Curtin and our negotiations about IB Diploma with UWA, our strong relationship with the Uniting Church, fellow Colleges, IB and Round Square schools, AISWA, AHISA, the Town of Claremont and the Minister of Education. We have to take Scotch to the

5 REPORTS

community, (locally, interstate and globally) and bring the community to us.

Unmanned – only metaphorically I hope. We have to be willing to engage innovation and be early adaptors of new technologies and always strive to work out how we can do more with less. Technology should never fully replace the right people; it should free them up to do new and more important work which cannot be done by machine alone.

Data friendly – We need to be able to make sense of multiple data, sometimes referred to as big data. As such we should be on the lookout for commercially valuable information, then be able to filter and instil such information, so that decisions can be couched on the most relevant information available.

In sync – we have to manage momentum, establish a rhythm for the organisation and ensure there is enough time to collect, analyse, explain, convince and encourage.

It is nimbleness, agility and the ability to change course quickly that matters. This is why our 20:20 Vision is only a road map at the time it was written. Blindly following this without regular analysis is not conducive to environmental scoping.

The new natural – we must ask ourselves which of our current ways of operating such as systems, processes, coupled with conventional wisdom, would not be selected or taken up if we were starting the organisation from scratch and knew nothing of the organisation’s history or endowments? Organisations are very good at adding new initiatives; and not so good at rationalising current ones.

Precise and tactical – In a VUCA world we cannot afford to be too wedded to a plan or bogged down in too much detailed vision. ‘A vision is necessary to steer in roughly the right direction, but the accuracy of the course is less 6

important than the alertness of the look-outs’.

There is no point having an incredible, accurate, well written and glossy strategy which is the wrong strategy!

Enlightened – we need to be clear about our College’s role in society, know what is expected of us and understand the need for legitimacy and the goodwill of ordinary people. We have to remain grounded, and accept that while we are fortunate, we must interact through a lens of kindness and humility. If a culture of serving is too low for us, then leading a community is well and truly beyond us.

In essence we are here to make our boys the best men they can be. This is not just measured by a grade; I will continue to refuse to allow Scotch to be rated against anyone via a meaningless set of Naplan, OLNA or ATAR league tables, whichever one makes the best reading in a newspaper at the time. We will be judged on the total school experience and by the type of young men we graduate through providing a balanced education. As Einstein said, ‘Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one learned at school’.

Subject content is such a small part of the educational tapestry. We must continue to teach our boys lifelong transferable skills such as: • • • • •

Critical thinking and problem solving Collaboration across networks Agility and adaptability Initiative and entrepreneurship Effective oral written and multi media/ social media • Analytical skills • Curiosity and imagination Our College is not an island. The success of Scotch will come from high quality school and family partnerships. This very point is reiterated in the recorded history of our College, ‘Building a Tradition’ where it is quoted (p.17) that the

Chief Justice, Alexander Onslow, in speaking about our first Headmaster, Mr John Sharpe MA, said: He heartily agreed with the words that had fallen from the lips of Mr. Sharpe in regard to the duties of parents. A schoolmaster could only be responsible for the children during school hours, but if his efforts should be supported by a Christian example being placed before the children at home the schoolmaster’s labour would be much lightened and the boys’ character in the future as honest and good citizens would be more likely to be assured.

At Scotch, our shared cause is the provision of a balanced education for all of your sons, our students. As Tom Peters says, ’If you really want people to care, enlist them in a cause that they truly care about. People enlist on behalf of a cause. They do the impossible for a cause.’

As we embark on a new five-year Strategic Plan, I look forward with excitement and anticipation in the role we all have in ensuring our College goes from strength to strength.

My final words go to a person who embodies the type of graduate we hope our College produces. I would like to thank and bid farewell to our Chair of Council, Mr Digby Stretch, who through his diverse stewardship has given so much to our College community. As a boarding student, (including his role as School Captain in 1979), a parent and most recently as our Chair of Council, Digby has left a legacy which, in itself, will be recorded with great reverence and fondness when the next phase of our history is formally recorded.

Without our community my own role would be significantly diminished. I thank everyone for their support of our great College.

CAPTAIN OF SCHOOL 2016 marks the end of a 12 year long, maroon and gold journey that began in a small class of 22 in a room that no longer serves as a Year 1 classroom.

From my first day entering Year 1 as an official Scotch College student, wearing a white broadbrimmed hat and an oversized khaki summer uniform, I knew that this School was going be a place I could call home, and to this day I still do.

It feels like only yesterday that our cohort, the Class of 2016, was entering the Senior School as a group of nervous and excited Year 8s, and as our time at this School draws closer to its end, it feels as though time has flown past, not too fast, rather at just the right speed. The perfect amount of time for us all to find our bearings, explore our opportunities, discover our passions, and of course, enjoy our final years as Scotch College students.

If we backtrack to the beginning of the year, most of us will remember watching the 2015 Year 12 Leavers, the men who had been our role models and had acted as our older brothers for the previous eleven years, march out of our School for the last time, leaving us to follow in their footsteps and continue their legacy. As we put on our Year 12 blazers for the first time, we were offered an opportunity to leave our own legacy at the College, the mark of the 2016 cohort that indicates our small part in the collective memory that makes up the Scotch College story.

2016 has been a remarkable year, and I think there is no other occasion that encapsulates the theme of ‘Stand United’ better than the World’s Greatest Shave event that Scotch took part in to support a member of our local community.

After discovering that a girl in our year from our sister school, PLC, was recently diagnosed with Leukaemia, a few of her close friends at PLC had the initiative and caring nature to organise and run a World’s Greatest Shave event, with all funds being donated to the Leukaemia

Foundation. They invited the Scotch community to be involved and, with the support of over 50 boys and 50 girls, were able to raise nearly $90,000, the second highest amount raised by a group for this event in the whole of Australia.

Words cannot describe the sense of community spirit experienced on that day and I am sure that it will be remembered in the years to come.

This was not the only inaugural Scotch event that was introduced this year. Thomas Gooch, Captain of Keys House, had the initiative to introduce an Agriculture Day, a day dedicated to the farmers of Western Australia. We had sheep shearing, tyre throwing, and hot beef rolls at lunch time, with all funds raised being donated to the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund and Youth Focus. The day was a huge success and I hope to see it continue and strengthen in future years.

This year has been filled with successes across all areas of the School. For the first time in 10 years, Scotch defeated Hale overall in the PSA summer season competition and claimed the renowned Hale vs Scotch Trophy. The Scotch College Golf team won their trophy, with one boy breaking the PSA Golf record. Our Firsts Badminton team accomplished the seemingly impossible task of claiming the title from the notoriously powerful Wesley team, who had won this trophy for the previous eight years, thereby bringing home the Brother Kelly Cup for Scotch for the first time since the competition was introduced in 2002. This is a feat that should not be overlooked. Our First XV Rugby team defeated Trinity in a top of the table clash in the final round to bring home the Brother Redmond Cup for the first time in 26 years. Another moment that encapsulated the culture of this College was witnessing hundreds of boys storm the field to join in the celebrations and war cries

more talented, honest, and cultured bunch of young men, and I look forward to returning to the School at future reunions to hear about the journeys and adventures of my peers.

We have also had our successes across the various co-curricular activities within the School.

Our Chess team secured victory in the State Championship, whilst the group of boys who travelled to Bangkok for the World Scholars’ Cup brought home not just one trophy, but three, including awards for group performances to individual results.

It is important to remember that, although we are immersed within such a nurturing and comfortable environment five out of seven days a week, life after school isn’t always going to be as comfortable. However, I am certain that this School has fulfilled its goal of “preparing boys for life” and that the boys stepping out into the big wide world at the end of this year are adequately prepared for the challenges that they may face.

A highlight of the year was the Senior School musical production of The Addams Family.

After months of rehearsals and preparations, the boys put on a magical performance that humorously conveyed the themes of love and hate. The performance was undoubtedly one to remember.

The past 12 years have not been easy. They have brought challenges and sometimes we did not reach our expectations. However, it is important to remember that you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life. We have done the work, and we have grown and developed into better men for it. It is safe to say that the best days of our lives are the days that we live right now.

CO-VICE CAPTAIN (SERVICE) 2016 was another great year for Service at Scotch. The year began with the John Hughes Big Walk which saw a handful of Senior School boys make the journey out to Burswood over two days to help set up and then officiate at the 20,000-person event.

Following this, the School engaged in a variety of food and clothing appeals that resulted in the donation of hundreds of non-perishable and comfort items towards local, worthy causes.

Scotch students participated enthusiastically in the ICEA Marja and Classic series events thus reaffirming our ties with the organisation. The

every House engaging in their own respective activities ranging from a Swimathon and Fun Run all the way through to a micro-lending scheme. All of the members contributed a large amount of time and effort into seeing the many projects completed throughout the year on time and to a high standard. Special thanks must be given to Mr Bill Cordner who provided vital information on the upcoming activities.

Overall, 2016 was a great year for Service at Scotch, with the added asset of the new Service Vice-Captains from each House.

Disabled Surfers Association received large support from the Scotch boys even though one of the days was called off due to lightning and large swells.

This year saw the introduction of individual ViceCaptains of Service for each House, who made up the Service Committee. The group worked very well together throughout the year with

The Leavers’ Gift Committee had the difficult task of brainstorming, selecting and seeking approval for a gift to be given back to the School, and then gaining support from the Year 12 cohort for their choice. After months of deliberation the decision was made to rejuvenate the somewhat tired-looking Gooch Pavilion. Specifically, the sun-bleached, letter-missing sign was removed and a much bolder sign is now in its place. In

addition, the supporting pillars are to be painted maroon over the summer to match the hand railings and seats that have already been given a fresh coat of paint.

This year, each leaving Year 12 was offered the chance to purchase a ‘Leaver’s Ring’.

The design and production of the rings was undertaken by Old Scotch Collegian Justin Linney of Linneys’ Jewellery, and over 185 students purchased it.

Overall, 2016 was a great year for Service at Scotch, with the added asset of the new Service Vice-Captains from each House. Thank you to everyone involved, especially those on the respective committees. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Service aspect of the College and wish Tim Reynolds and the 2017 committee all the best for the coming year.

CO-VICE CAPTAIN (OPER ATIONS) It was an absolute privilege to serve as Vice-Captain (Operations) in what was the first year under the new leadership framework at the College.

2016 saw the introduction of Vice-Captain of Operations and Service roles for each House, which undoubtedly resulted in a greater level of efficiency and organisation amongst the 10 Houses at the College.

Trophy, with Keys and Alexander trailing in second and third respectively. It was impressive to see so many boys across all year levels getting involved and taking the opportunity to participate in the wide range of events.

The success of this new structure was most evident in this year’s Staff Trophy competition, which was arguably the most intense and competitive in recent years. Shearer, the reigning champions, dominated the water in the first semester with convincing wins in water polo and swimming, whilst Alexander also made their presence known with resounding victories in the Cross Country and Junior 3-on-3 Basketball.

Victories in Chess, Debating and Theatre Sports were scattered amongst the 10 Houses, however it was clear that Keys was making a late surge, with a well deserved win in House Choir, singing Vance Joy’s smash hit ‘Fire and the Flood’, along with a dominant victory in the Athletics. Ultimately, it was Shearer’s consistent marching that led them to a third straight Staff

The environment committee also entered its second year of operation, following the great work of Bailey Banfield in 2015. House Vice-Captains and a number of boys with a keen interest in the environment partook in a number of initiatives that centred around the goal of reducing the College’s footprint on the environment. Powerpoints focusing on the importance of recycling were presented throughout the Middle School, along with the boys helping advertise the Middle School’s inaugural “Ride to School Day”, which saw over 100 boys cycle to school. Similarly, there was a strong Scotch attendance at Lake Claremont’s monthly “Busy Bees”, where the boys helped other community volunteers plant hundreds of trees in the local bushland.

One of the most satisfying responsibilities for the Vice-Captain of Operations was being charged with the role of overseeing the design and production of the 2016 Leavers jacket.

With the help of the committee, a vote was cast to see what style the cohort wanted, and for the second year running the boys voted for a classic rugby jumper as opposed to the somewhat commonplace varsity jacket. The ultra-talented Ed Atchison (Year 12 Shearer) was responsible for the timeless design, and when the jumpers arrived midway through the Winter Term, the boys were quick to toss aside their blazers.

2016 was an unbelievable year, and it is my pleasure to pass the baton on to Alistair Murray for 2017, who I know will be an excellent leader and role model for the boys. It has been an amazing 12 years at the College, and I wish Scotch all the best for the future.

Speech Night at Scotch is harvest time for farmers like myself. Grain farmers throughout the country are focused on bringing in the crop, which is the product of our work this year, and indeed a product of years of learning, experience and gradual building of infrastructure and technology.

I often think it would be fascinating to view the wheatbelt from above during seeding and harvest. It would look incredibly busy with so many people on their own journey, yet all with the common goal of supplying a great local product to the global community.

Looking down at Scotch would be no different; students, teachers, administration and facilities staff, parents and friends would all be seen busy on their own journeys but collectively working towards providing an outstanding educational experience for Scotch students who we know will make their mark on every corner of the world in years to come.

The journeys at Scotch are diverse; we have welcomed new staff, farewelled retiring staff, some have been at Scotch for many years and some for only a few. At the Valedictory Dinner we farewelled the Year 12s, some being “survivors” that have been at Scotch for all their school years and some who have studied at Scotch for just a few. Some parents were at their first Speech Night, some at their last and some are at their third for the week! We farewell the boarders who are leaving, and on behalf of the country parents that can’t be here tonight, I say thank you to all the staff and community that help make the challenges of living away from home such a wonderful experience.

A new pathway has been introduced at Scotch with the opening of the Early Learning Centre.

Families can now choose to bring their boys into the Scotch community earlier. Having all ages of students on the one campus is enriching for all. The youngest can look up and be inspired; the senior students can see how far they have come and how their roles of leadership and mentoring are so important, as they will be for all their life. Furthermore, the value of teaching staff from K-12 interacting on the one campus should not be underestimated.

Murray McGill and I retire from the Scotch College Council at the end of 2016, and we welcome new council members Professor Simon Anderson and Tim Wiese, both current parents and OSCs. Mark Paganin will chair the Council from 2017 and I wish him and the Council the very best. I’d like to thank Heather Warner for her support as Deputy Chair, along with all the Council members for finding time in their busy lives to contribute to Scotch College. I know I speak for everyone in saying that it’s a very satisfying experience to work closely with Dr O’Connell and the Executive to provide the governance that is yet another part of what makes our Scotch community so special. One of our aims at Council level is that all associated with Scotch should have an

enriching experience. From conversations and feedback throughout the Scotch community, I am confident that is being achieved.

My closing message to you all is to enjoy your journey and don’t focus too hard on the destination as there are jobs, professions, skills and experiences that are yet to be discovered and remember that beaten paths are for beaten minds.

Mr Digby Stretch Chair of Council

FOUNDATION REPORT The Scotch College Foundation operates under a quite broad overall mandate to attract financial assistance to the College. Our purpose is to help Scotch College continue to be one of the leading Australian schools for boys.

A generational attitude towards philanthropy was fundamental to the establishment of Scotch College initially. Certainly, all Old Boys, current students and their parents have benefited from prior giving of this nature. The preparedness of our community to think and act in this manner, for example via our 2015 Capital Campaign, or recent generous bequests received, will be recognised in the future in the same way that we acknowledge those that have supported the College historically.

The Foundation is really the collection point for financial support of the College and the Board of Trustees has a responsibility to maintain the effective long term application of these funds.

The Foundation has built a solid asset base since being established in 1985. Our two key sources of funds are endowment fees paid by the parents of new boys to the College and investment returns on our asset portfolio.

In addition, the Foundation has benefited from several generous bequests. At the end of 2016 our total portfolio comprises approximately $21 million.

In recent years, we as a Board have sought to apply a strategy to ensure long term financial assistance to the College. It is our view that the College will derive long term benefits from a strong Foundation. The confidence the School Council and Executive can derive from a wellfunded and committed Foundation assists them in planning effectively for the future.

Previously, for large capital programmes, the Foundation managed a specific community Capital Raising Plan and gifted significant funds to the College. The financing plan for the recent large Middle School Project included an $11 million long term, low interest loan from the Foundation. Over time and in tune with the College’s cashflow the loan from the Foundation is being repaid and in the interim the capital base of the Foundation will continue to grow as explained earlier. We consider this a sustainable yet flexible long term model.

High quality infrastructure is not the most important ingredient in the recipe that makes a successful school – it is of course the community that inhabits that infrastructure that is the key.

The Foundation also seeks to assist via scholarship arrangements and staff professional development. Most recently we were very pleased to have agreed an arrangement with The Special Air Service Resources (SASR) Trust for the joint provision of scholarship opportunities at Scotch College for the sons of fallen members of the SAS. The Scholarship is activated on the death or permanent disability of a soldier whose son wishes to come to Scotch. It is hoped that the Fund will be drawn on rarely and will have the opportunity to accumulate over time.

TEACHING AND LEARNING

Building upon the academic culture at Scotch College has been a key priority throughout 2016.

The language used with students, the professional development provided to staff, the agenda of meetings, have all been carefully selected and crafted to ensure that as a collective we are defining the culture of academic success, whilst supporting the array of activities that embody what Scotch College offers as part of a balanced education.

2016 has provided a number of opportunities to shape the future direction of the College in regard to teaching and learning. The opening of the Early Learning Centre was a significant milestone for the College’s history; and whilst exciting, it also offers the additional responsibility of working with parents to educate boys from as young as 4 years old until the age of 18. Similarly, the decision made to offer the MYP from Years 6 to 8 and design a specific programme for the students of Years 9 and 10 sees a strategic move designed to provide the best possible preparation for the final years of Senior School for all boys.

Written by Stephen Dinham (2016), Leading Learning and Teaching, provides four fundamentals of student achievement:

processing and learning vital skills and content for their future, but also defining what type of person they want to be in that future.

In 2017, we will continue to build upon the success we have had across the school. It is with immense pride that the work of our staff impacts on the lives of our students, together with the fantastic support provided by a highly engaged and supportive parent body.

2016 LEAVERS The 2016 Leavers were a fantastic group of young men. In many ways they define the academic culture we are strengthening at the College and on numerous occasions, staff observed the mature and responsible approach they were taking to their studies. We hope to build on the foundations these students established in their approach to Year 12, as the example for future years. The support that the students receive from the Senior School Dean of Teaching and Learning, Mrs Cara Fugill and our Careers Advisor, Mr Peter Frusher, along with their teachers, is a major component of the academic success of the 2016 Leavers.

Within our WACE pathways, both ATAR and VET, as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme we have seen some wonderful examples of students who, through hard work and determination, have achieved personal success.

The Duces of the three graduating groups were: IB Diploma Dux • James Naylor-Pratt WACE Dux • Campbell Williamson VET Dux • Braden Retallack

4. Quality Teaching

• Max Shervington (Tuba, Year 9)

In 2016, the Year 12 Cohort had a median ATAR of 87.3 which saw an increase of 2.6 from 2015.

Reflecting on these whilst considering our school, without question the interactions around the College strongly represent the first of these four fundamentals. In all that we do as a staff, it is about placing the boys first. Of great importance is to view the boys as learners, yet also people; young men who are not only

The College had five students achieve an ATAR score of 99 or above; Alexander Crump, Clive Wang, Liam Vaughan, Campbell Williamson and Brodie Stephenson.

Alexander Crump received the Subject Exhibition for the highest performing student

in the state for Modern History and Business Management and Enterprise. Alexander also received a Special Subject Award for Economics. Fraser Cull and Bede Hunt were awarded a Special Subject Award for English.

22 Certificates of Distinction were awarded along with 38 students receiving Certificates of Merit for achieving 10 or more A grades in their final year of study.

The consistency of our boys was recognised with 11 subjects placing in the top performing schools in the State: Accounting and Finance, Economics, Business Management and Enterprise, Design, Media Production and Analysis, Literature, Mathematics Methods, Mathematics Specialist, History, Politics and Law and Physics.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE ACHIEVEMENTS The 2016 Diploma Programme results were the best in the six-year history of the IB Diploma Programme at the College. The average point score out of a possible 45 increased to 34.54, a feat which sees the vast majority of Diploma students have their choice of any of the five universities in Western Australia. Four students achieved a score higher than 40 out of a possible 45 with Drummond Orr achieving the rare perfect score of 45 points. Nine students received an A grade for their Theory of Knowledge Course and seven students received an A grade for their 4000 word Extended Essay; a brilliant achievement.

The Diploma staff, led by Mr Michael Scaife, continue to develop the programme to new levels and are continually looking for ways to improve the boys’ experience within the programme.

In a first for the College we have worked with the University of Western Australia and Curtin University to have students admitted to these institutions on their Diploma Score, without the need to convert to an ATAR. We also look forward to sharing the news regarding the advanced credit arrangement we have developed with Curtin University as part of our participation in the Curtin Innovative Schools programme.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING ACHIEVEMENTS In 2016, 22 students received a Certificate IV in Business as part of the programme completed through the Fremantle Education Centre. This qualifies these students for minimum entry requirements into four of the five Western Australian universities and provides a multitude of opportunities for the boys, post-schooling.

As a College we are continually looking to expand and improve the offerings for students who take the VET pathway, and in 2017 we will see a Certificate II for Music Production offered for the first time at the College.

In 2016 boys also received Certificate II qualifications in the following areas: • Certificate II Sport and Recreation • Certificate II Process Plant Operation • Certificate II in Marine Operations • Certificate II in Business EXCITING NEW POSSIBILITIES In 2017, the College will see a number of new initiatives in the area of Teaching and Learning; we will deliver the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) elective in Year 9 for the first time, we will also commence offering Food Design in the Senior

School on campus in our newly designed industrial kitchen.

We have set ourselves the challenge of reimagining our Year 9 and 10 programmes and a dedicated steering committee will work with our community to develop a contemporary, challenging and relevant educational experience to launch towards the end of the year.

Within the Middle School we will continue to develop the MYP by focusing on the explicit teaching of the Approaches To Learning (ATLs).

We will also look to implement the Community Project as a culminating experience for boys in Year 8.

In the Junior School we will continue to build upon the excellent, inaugural year of the Early Learning Centre (ELC) by having staff attend an AISWA study tour to Italy to reinforce the Reggio Emilia approach we have implemented in the ELC. Additionally, we look to engage the community through our Little Pipers Programme, designed for children aged 0-3 to come and develop a love for learning whilst engaging with the College community. The strongest partnership our teachers have is with the boys that they teach and the families who support them. As a College we rely on these partnerships to ensure that we continue to develop academic success as part of our school culture, yet also have boys who are happy, have meaning in their lives and seek to challenge themselves beyond what they previously thought possible.

Thank you for trusting us to teach your sons.

CHAPLAIN At the end of each year we acknowledge the contributions and achievements of students, staff and parents, as we continue the traditions.

Time Passes On On the 27th November I attended the re-dedication of the Rev. David Shearer monument at the East Perth Cemetery following a service at the St Bartholemeus Church.

As time continues to pass on, it is good for us to remember the various people and events that established not only the institution but the traditions that underpin who we are.

If the name sounds familiar then it points to the heritage at Scotch College and particularly Shearer House.

At the end of each year we acknowledge the contributions and achievements of students, staff and parents, as we continue the traditions.

In 2003, the Shearer family presented the College with a gold watch that belonged to Rev. Shearer. It was given to him together with a purse of gold ‘as a Token of Esteem’ from his congregation at the Presbyterian church, Gatehead, Newcastle-on-Tyne in June 1879 on his farewell as he and his family left to take up an appointment in Western Australia. He was sent to establish the Presbyterian Church in Western Australia.

We also celebrate the advent of the Christmas time. Ultimately our tradition points us back to the birth of Jesus and his life amongst human beings. The values we espouse and our vision statements talk about our students, their education and development as spiritual beings.

He died at the age of 59 during the development stage of a church hall to be used for ‘a school house and other purposes’ known as Shearer Memorial Hall in Beaufort Street Perth. On the morning of 5th February 1897, 28 boys assembled for the first Assembly of Alexander Scotch College.

Everything we do, whether it be worship, sport, the arts, community service or academic pursuit, is the development of the whole person to live in the best way possible. So we continue to prepare boys for life and to make this world a better place.

May you all have a happy Christmas and positive entry into the new year.

(Excerpts from David Shearer, great grandson of Rev. David Shearer, address at the rededication and Scotch College Assembly) Rev Chas Lewis Chaplain

WELLBEING “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Frederick Douglass The wellbeing of students has always been a central concern at Scotch College. We have always sought to create and maintain an environment which enables every student to grow, explore the world, flourish in their own unique way, and contribute to the society and world in which they live. In this, our pastoral care system has been the process by which we strive to achieve the outcome of positive wellbeing.

Wellbeing is “… a person’s ability to consciously manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and demonstrate compassion towards others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.” Wellbeing involves an individual developing a sense of selfefficacy and self-worth, a sense of social connectedness and the skills necessary to ensure good physical, mental and spiritual health in them and those around them.

Central to all of this is a sense of agency; that the individual has a sense of hope, and selfbelief, leading to a sense of control over his or her life. This should provide them with the strength of character to deal with difficulties and overcome challenges as well as thrive.

We seek to develop within each of our students a curiosity about the world and a desire to make that world a better place, by demonstrating compassion on a regular basis. We hope that the breadth of experiences and the structure these provide (both inside and out of the classroom) will enable each young man to find purpose and passion. Our aim is to assist them in becoming resilient enough that they do not have to be repaired.

For this to happen, our students must feel safe, valued and connected. This is what lies at the core of our pastoral care system: knowing each boy and caring about what happens to him. And to ensure this happens, our staff also need to feel valued.

With this in mind, in 2016 the school created the position of Director of Student and Staff Wellbeing in order to enhance our policies and programmes in this field. The role is K-12, and mirrors Teaching and Learning as one of the central pillars within the school.

I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to work in this role. There is an enormous amount of material and research being done in this area and it is exciting to explore this. Whilst developing an overall plan, our intention is also to promote many of the excellent events and activities which currently take place in the school, as well as adding to this. Small acts of kindness are integral to a compassionate community that cares about all its members.

Below, I have listed three examples of what is currently taking place within the school to build community wellbeing: Year 2-12 functions throughout the year Each term, we organise a get-together between the Year 2s and Year 12s. We buddy them up, so that the little ones have the same senior student whom they can get to know.

In Summer Term, we have a Treasure Hunt and breakfast barbecue down at the Gooch Pavilion. In Autumn Term, the Year 2s come up to the Senior School library and we read their favourite books, before taking them up to the lookout at the top of Collegians’ House and having morning tea with them on the verandah. In Winter Term, we have another breakfast at the Gooch Pavilion, which is preceded by face painting and a variety of fun games. At the start of Spring Term, the Year 12s have their final assembly and March Out. After this, we take the 12s to the Year 2 classrooms and we get them and their Year 2 buddies to make short video clips on the Year 2s’ iPads, recording what they think of their time at Scotch and what their future might hold. The idea is that, in ten years’ time, the

2016 leavers will return to school for their 10-year reunion and we will get them together with the Year 2s, who will be Year 12s by that stage, and they can share the memories from their final day at school.

RUOK? Day In Winter Term, we dedicate a week of Chapel services in Senior School to spreading the message that it is really important to ask our family, friends and colleagues if they are okay. This is part of a growing awareness of the significance of mental health issues within Australia. Two of our Year 12s explained how to have such a conversation, and then a large group of Year 12s sang a reworked version of Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” with the lyrics changed to “Are you okay?” The plan for 2017 is to extend this message into the Middle School.

International Cuisine Day In Spring Term, our new Year 11s created food stalls representing a variety of countries from around the world. The boys worked in their House groups. This was done as part of the Leadership programme and was an excellent lesson in teamwork and organisation. The food was sold at lunch time and a good deal of money was raised for various charities. This year, for the first time, the Year 8s were invited up from the Middle School to enjoy the food and the atmosphere. This was also a part of helping to ease the transition to Senior School.

There is so much more that happens every day to enhance the positive spirit within the school and within our students. I look forward to this sense of wellbeing growing and spreading through our community in the coming years.

ROUND SQUARE

As the College continues to explore the opportunities that Global Membership of Round Square offers the College, we are confident that our students already have access to great experiences across all of the Round Square IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environmental Awareness, Adventure, Service and Leadership. Global membership nonetheless opens up a myriad of other opportunities to explore the world and

schools were involved with delegates coming from China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and the eastern states of Australia.

Senior School boys provided leadership for the conference through the Conference Committee and 30 boys who served as ‘Baraza’ leaders.

Throughout the five-day conference our guests were treated to the best of Scotch and Perth.

A highlight for many visitors was a day spent at Moray, undertaking adventure activities. A picture-perfect early morning at Cottesloe Beach provided a fitting concluding backdrop to a successful event.

Senior School boys provided leadership for the conference through the Conference Committee and 30 boys who served as ‘Baraza’ leaders. to connect with students in over 180 Round Square schools located on all continents.

In April this year Scotch hosted a conference for 12 to 14-year-old students from Round Square member schools in the Australasian and East Asian Region. The theme ‘Life on the Edge’, focused on the plight of refugees and the homeless, the role of science in finding the edge of space and also challenged delegates to go beyond their perceived ‘edge’ in adventure activities. Over 180 students from 18

Membership of Round Square has enabled 12 boys from Year 8 to go on exchange to member schools within Australia. Eight Year 10 boys ventured overseas to schools in various countries including Peru, Argentina, Denmark, Canada, the USA and Jordan. With the support of families and the Boarding Community Scotch was able to host the visiting boys with us for the reciprocal part of the exchange.

Global Membership of Round Square will enable senior boys to take part in International Conferences and be inspired by the exceptional speakers and activities based on the IDEALS. The conference this year was

hosted jointly by schools in Germany and Switzerland. The 2017 conference will be held in Cape Town, South Africa. In addition, senior boys now have access to the Round Square International Service trips and three of our staff were selected for trips to Round Square to Nicaragua, South Africa and Nepal.

In many ways Scotch College has always espoused to boys the belief that ‘there is more in you than you think’, a quote attributed to Round Square Founder, Kurt Hahn. The experiences our boys have do extend them and we have world-class facilities and a programme to support action across all the IDEALS.

COMMUNITY SERVICE This year has seen the continued growth of service activities across all three sub-schools.

Many of the causes supported through fundraising and agencies assisted through direct action have been identified by the boys themselves who have a personal connection or interest. Other service opportunities come through class, club or House initiatives and Year 10 boys undertake a Service Learning programme as part of their timetabled activities. All three International Baccalaureate programmes place service at the core and as a Uniting Church school, service is a fundamental Christian pillar on which the College is built.

Junior School boys continued to support ongoing recovery at Yarloop following the devastating fires last year. A Fire Awareness Day, which included a visit by the Claremont Fire Brigade, was held in Summer Term to raise relief funds. In Autumn Term boys in the Junior School raised over $6,000 for Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes research. Perhaps a highlight of the year was a paper plane flying competition held in the Memorial Hall with funds going towards the Alice Springs Uniting Church Youth Centre to enable the purchase of equipment.

Boys in the Middle School held a Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar raffle during Book Week to raise funds for Princess Margaret Hospital. Members of the Community Service Club engaged in service action, researching and building nesting boxes for the red-capped plover, endangered by human and domestic animal activity along our beaches. Year 8 boys this year undertook a personal commitment to complete eight

hours of service in their own time. Boys were encouraged to explore the opportunities to serve in their local communities beyond their families. The whole Middle School contributed to the UnitingCare West Winter Appeal by donating a large amount of non-perishable food items for homeless and needy families.

Boys in the Senior School also supported the Winter Appeal with House Service Representatives coordinating a collection of both food and clothing. UnitingCare West facilitated a Social Justice Conference for service coordinators from Uniting Church schools and a Student Forum, attended by Year 10 boys. The Year 10 Service Learning programme in 2016 continued our partnership with a multitude of service agencies and other organisations, providing interaction with diverse groups, understanding of major social issues and inspiration through contact with passionate professionals and volunteers in the service of others.

A large group of boys walked alongside girls from PLC in a ‘Walk against abuse’ supporting the Bravehearts organisation.

Boys also volunteered to support ‘Tim’s Ride’, in memory of OSC Tim Anderson, and to raise money for Youth Focus scholarships. A highlight of fundraising efforts for this year was our contribution towards the PLC-inspired, Leukemia Foundation event ‘8 for Kate’ as part of the ‘World’s Greatest Shave’. Over $90,000 was raised by students from both Colleges.

STUDENT COUNCIL In reflection, 2016 has been a resounding success for the Student Council. Despite initially feeling overwhelmed by the lack of guidance we received, and the range of tasks before us for the year, we were eventually able to settle into a strong routine that we hope to pass on to our successors in the coming year.

The Student Council received a number of complaints from boys during the year regarding the quality of the water fountain in the Physical Education Centre, which affects Scotch boys participating in a range of sports, as well as visiting sides from other schools. The Student Council responded to this by selecting a viable replacement and putting together a formal proposal for the Parents’ Association for funding. This proposal was approved unanimously and the new fountain will hopefully be installed in Spring Term 2016.

Summer Term’s fundraiser featured a Star Wars theme and best-dressed competition.

In the past, the free dress day fundraisers have been mostly stand-alone events. This year we made the decision to incorporate more of these days into other events on the Scotch calendar. In Spring Term our fundraiser was combined with International Culinary Day, which saw students dressing up according to an international theme. The funds that were raised were then donated to a range of causes selected by each House. Summer Term’s fundraiser featured a Star Wars theme and best-dressed competition. As this event occurred on the same day as the World’s Greatest Shave event at PLC, the funds we raised were put towards the already impressive amount donated by the two schools. The ‘rights’ to Autumn Term’s free dress day were given to the boarders, whose Agricultural Day was a great success and will hopefully continue in years to come.

For some time, the Scotch Student Council has maintained a commitment to sponsoring four children in the developing countries of Pakistan, Vietnam, Rwanda and Nicaragua. Raising a sum of $2300 to send to these children was the primary goal of our fundraising activities in Winter Term, which we were able to achieve due to the success of our ‘Where’s Wally’ themed free dress day. The day saw an outstanding commitment to the theme from boys across the Senior School.

In order to assist the student councillors taking over from us next year, all of the information and advice that we have found helpful was collated by our secretary, Drummond Orr, into a single Student Council Handbook that can be passed on year after year. Thanks to his efforts, we are confident this handbook will be of value to student councillors for many years to come.

Congratulations to Mitchell Clarke on his appointment as Head of Student Council for 2017. Mitch has already sat in on one of our final meetings for the year, and all of the current councillors are optimistic that the Council will thrive under his capable leadership next year.

We would like to thank all of the students at Scotch for their input and support throughout the year, and encourage them to continue to address any ideas, suggestions or complaints to the 2017 Student Council. Finally, we would like to thank Mr Jones for his outstanding dedication and commitment as the supervising teacher serving on the Council, a role that he has embraced with an incredible degree of enthusiasm that has assisted us greatly throughout the year.

New Beginnings: As we commenced 2016 we were looking forward to a year that would bring new beginnings and new achievements.

In February, we welcomed our first Pre-Primary class to our school. The youngest ever boys to attend Scotch College started with Mrs Phillips and Mrs Ricciardello. They were very small but at once seemed comfortable at school. I watched with great enjoyment as they matured and accepted each new learning opportunity presented and made new friends.

2016 also saw the construction of our new Early Learning Centre (ELC). A talented team of teachers wrote our Philosophy Statement that would guide the design of the centre. A key component of our Philosophy Statement was the learning environment. Our teachers wanted to create an ELC that provided: • A learning environment incorporating natural materials and neutral colours • Flexible learning spaces where children see the indoor and outdoor spaces as equal parts of the learning environment • A friendly and welcoming environment where childrens’ successes are celebrated and people, old and young, gather to learn We were able to watch as each aspect of our vision took shape as the centre was built.

After much anticipation the ELC was officially opened at the beginning of the Spring Term. I was pleased that our first group of Pre-Primary boys had the opportunity to test out their new classroom and playgrounds for us.

The addition of our ELC is a significant milestone for the College. In 2017, it will be the home for the first ever Kindergarten boys to attend the School. The wonderful learning environment and the outstanding teachers who will work there will provide excellent 22

foundations for a boy’s 14-year journey through our institution. I am truly grateful to all who have been involved in the design and construction of this fantastic facility.

This year, we have introduced another dimension to our play provision for the boys, Loose Parts Play. Loose Parts Play involves providing the boys with a range of materials for them to use to create their own play and engagements. They create, use their imagination and develop in a range of

allowed our boys to showcase their singing, dancing and acting talents. They displayed great comic timing and love of the limelight. The performance was wonderful and brought the audience to tears of laughter and joy.

Our boys engaged in new challenges in the classroom through exploration in STEM projects. Each class was provided at least one opportunity to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics in cooperative team driven events. From egg drops to 3D

printing, cardboard chairs to computer coding, the boys explore a range of disciplines and grew in their confidence and collaborative skills.

We challenged the boys in other new ways over the course of the school year and, as usual, they embraced these challenges and surprised us with their abilities.

We saw boys begin their musical journey this year and demonstrate their confidence and risk taking skills and they performed, often for the first time, before parents and friends. Soirees for violin, cello, and piano as well as performances of our Junior School Orchestra showcased the outstanding talents of our boys.

Miss Phebe Samson was challenged by me to present a Shakespearean play to the school community. She decided she would present a Shakespearean musical instead. In November, our Year 5 classes presented the musical, ‘Dream On’. This modern take on Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummers Night’s Dream’

In 2016, we saw our boys achieve many new successes and personal marks in sport. One of the events that resonated for me highlighted the wonderful qualities of our boys through the action of one boy. At the end of Semester 1, our Cross Country Running Team won the JPSSA Cross Country title. It was truly a team result

with no individual boy standing out but the entire team contributing to the win. The story of the day was not the win or our top finishers; it was the principled and caring attitude of one of our reserves. Will Fairweather finished in the top ten in our inter-house event. By rights he was entitled to run in the JPSSA Championships.

Will approached his coach and asked if he could give up his spot to another boy who was not able to run at our carnival. He did so because he knew that the other boy was faster than he was. This selfless act was unexpected but ended up being the difference between first and second place.

In 2015 Billy Mahaffy won the Doodle4Google competition and won 10 tablets for the Junior School. In March of this year he donated those 10 tablets to North Balga Primary School. The Honourable Michael Mischin, Member of the Legislative Council for WA, read about Billy’s kindness and in a letter to me commented on “Billy’s generous and selfless gesture being a credit to his school and his family.”.

At the end of June, the Junior School went on a ‘Walk for a Reason’. Boys from Year 1 to 5 sought sponsorship from family and friends to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF) by walking around Lake Claremont. The day was one of fun but with a serious message. The efforts of the boys have made a difference and the $7185.55 they have raised will assist the JDRF to support families and to maybe one day find a cure.

I am always amazed how the smallest of actions can highlight the wonderful caring character of our boys.

We had boys compete in State and National competitions in mathematics and writing including the Australian Maths Trust (AMT) challenges and competitions, ICAS Mathematics and writing competitions.

Special congratulations goes to James Winch who earned a High Distinction in the ICAS mathematics and writing competitions as well as the in the AMT Competition and Jetlen Egerton-Warburton who earned a high distinction in the AMT Competition. Liam Jermy and Nathan Liu each earned a High Distinction in the ICAS Maths comp. We had 11 other boys from Year 3 to 5 earn distinctions in the AMT competition and 16 awarded with a credit. In the ICAS writing competition we saw three boys earn distinctions, five earn a credit and five awarded with a merit. Billy Mahaffy was a top 100 finalist in the Therapy Focus Help a Child Grow art competition. In French we had boys enter the Alliance Francaise poem competition with Ryan Wang, James Winch and Nathan Liu making the finals.

nationals in gymnastics. Mikhael Djauhari (Year 5) earned his Grade 6 piano in the AMEB Piano Examination. Zachary Mills (Year 5) competed at the state championships in swimming and won second place in the 50 metre freestyle, 3rd in the 200 metre freestyle and 4th in the 100 metre freestyle.

I am always amazed how the smallest of actions can highlight the wonderful caring characters of our boys.

We had many boys earn accolades in State and National level events. Baxter Poulson (Year 5) and Louis Poulson (Year 4) won gold and bronze respectively at the nationals for Taekwondo. Maxwell Fine (Year 1) qualified at Grade 2 for gymnastics only weeks after a significant injury. Matthew Graham (Year 5) became state champion and competed at the

This year we have had to say good-bye to some excellent members of staff including Mrs Fran Longhurst, Mrs Merrie Cockerill, Ms Karen Sabitay, Mrs Tracy Stillitano, Mrs Sandy Wingfield, Mrs Daniella Jasper and Ms Liza Richardson.

2016 has truly been a year of new beginnings, new accomplishments and sad farewells.

I thank the boys for their tremendous efforts, the staff for the incredible dedication and commitment to the teaching and learning of the boys and the parents for their support.

I am greatly looking forward to the challenges and successes 2017 has in store for us.

AROUND THE SCHOOL

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS

MARCH OUT

This year was the first year that the Year 5s were allowed to compete in TOMs. I was one of the boys chosen to be in the Year 5/6 team. I really enjoyed this opportunity because it allowed me to show my knowledge in a different sort of way.

To start with I wasn’t too confident but then I got to know my team better and we worked well.

The best part was that we had to figure out a solution to the challenge ourselves. If you get the opportunity to do TOMs, take it!

My favourite part about March Out was the sausage sizzle, also making the awesome iMovie. It was the best day ever, and I loved seeing the Pipe Band, I loved it!

WALK FOR A CURE

Nic Langsford, Year 5C

We went on a fantastic walkathon to raise money so we could find a cure for diabetes. It was fun and tremendous because I like nice walks and it was brilliant exercise!

MAKING CHOCOLATE

Oliver Montandon, Year 2F

I really loved making “chocolate” in the playground this year because when I used the water pump, it made a funny sound and it moved the bark chips along. When we saw the bark chips at the end, it looked just like chocolate so we kept making more and more.

YEAR 12 AND YEAR 2 COLLABORATION

Maxwell Fine, Year 1G GRANDPARENTS’ DAY This year I really enjoyed Grandparents’ day because I got to see my Grandparents and show them the work I do at school.

Dominic Van Niekerk, Year 1G 24

Thomas Lovegrove, Year 2F

March Out was so fun because the amazing Year 12s marched out while the other Year 12s were playing the BEAUTIFUL drums and bagpipes.

Charlie Warden, Year 2F ASSEMBLY I enjoyed our assembly item because I loved playing the part of Lucas. Also the theme of recycling was great because we taught everyone how to recycle.

Jack Mayo, Year 2W

“I really love Loose Parts because you can make jets with crates and cubbies with sheets.”

Julian Argyle, Year 2W PAPER PLANE COMPETITION

PAPER PLANE CHALLENGE

PAPER PLANE COMPETITION

My favourite highlight of Year 3 was the Paper Plane competition. On try-outs I threw my plane 20 metres. In the finals I came 2nd because I

In 2016 my favourite part was the paper plane challenge. My paper plane was horrible, but I enjoyed the challenge. I made ten practice planes. It was the best.

My favourite learning experience was the Paper Plane competition, which was held in the DC last term. We got to see who could fold a piece of paper and throw it the furthest or who could keep it in the air for the longest. It was fun competing against the other boys in the different year levels.

only threw 10 metres. I liked it because I broke my personal best.

Nicholas Lovegrove, Year 3R NEW FRIENDS In 2016 my favourite thing was making new friends. I can play with them and have fun. I can also have friend-overs. This year, I was able to make a bigger group of friends, which is more fun than having just one friend.

Stewart Graves, Year 3S NEW FRIENDS The highlight of Year 3 for me was making new friends. They keep me company when I am lonely. Another thing about my friends is I can trust them.

Jarrod Hutchison, Year 3S

Euan Byars, Year 3S

MRS SPRINGALL

TEACHERS

My favourite Year 3 memory is of my teacher, Mrs Springall. She has looked after us all year.

She is the best teacher in the world.

My all-time favourite memory of Year 3 is the teachers because they teach me and they care about me. They help me with spelling. They are the best in the world.

Joshua Cook, Year 3S PAPER PLANE COMPETITION This year was the first paper plane competition for the Junior School. It was held in the DC on the last day of Term 3 and I won out of all the Year 5s. I was in the final for the Year 5 distance throwing and in the Year 1 to 5 competition.

Rafferty McDonald, Year 3S PAPER PLANE COMPETITION ZOOM! That was the sound of my paper plane flying through air awaiting its fall to the ground like many, many other pieces of paper. This year, at the end of Winter Term, the whole Junior School competed in a paper plane competition.

Even though I didn’t get in the final, I think I did well and I was proud of it.

Zachary Mills, Year 5C NAIDOC WEEK SAND MURALS My favourite part of the year was the NAIDOC Week Sand Murals. The Junior School boys were lucky enough to design a sand mural.

Then the class had a vote to decide a winner.

We then used the winner’s design to make a proper sand mural. Everybody helped in the making of the sand creation and I think everybody enjoyed it.

Thomas Lambo, Year 4T ASSEMBLY ITEMS My favourite highlight of the year has been the assembly items because I just love acting on the stage with all of my friends and doing skits, it just puts a smile on my face. I like acting because I just feel free, especially when I write my own script.

Alasdair Orr, Year 5W

Charlie Bowles, Year 4T

Jack Cook, Year 5C

IPSHA SPEAKERS’ CHALLENGE

LUNCHTIME SPORT COMPETITIONS

SCIENCE CLUB

This year I loved the Speakers’ Challenge because everyone in Year 5 was able to make a speech to try to make the top five of their class.

It was a super fun activity for me because I love speaking even though I usually get nervous. I loved competing in the top ten at the MacKellar Hall and I got into the top 3 for the Inter-School IPSHA competition. I did an excellent job at the Inter-School competition with my topic ‘the humble jar of peanut butter.’ I really enjoyed competing.

My amazing year has been filled with lots of fun like lunchtime sport competitions with Mr Whiston, including Soccer, Gaelic Football and European Handball. He started another Gaelic competition for Spring Term and everyone loved it. There are Year 4 and 5s only leagues, so future Year 4 boys have an incredible year ahead of them.

My favourite day of Year 3 is Wednesday because it is Science Club. In Science Club, we have made balloon rockets and ‘frankenwormies’. To make the balloon rockets, I had to tie a balloon to a straw and make it go flying along a rope. In ‘frankenwormies’, I grabbed bi-carb soda and water. Then I cut a killer python into eighths and chucked them in.

Then I put the mixture in vinegar, which made the worms wriggle.

Oliver Cooper, Year 3S

Daniel Kerfoot, Year 5C 25 JUNIOR SCHOOL

PERFORMING ARTS “I love Choir because I get to learn and sing new songs. It gives me the best reason to sing.”

Lachlan Palich, Year 3S PARENTS

CHOIR

ACTOR

I have learnt how to say loud and soft in Italian because music can be loud and soft and low and high. My favourite thing in Performing Arts was when my parents came and we danced to the “Musica Viva”.

My favourite part of Performing Arts is Choir because I just LOVE singing!

In Winter Term, Miss Samson told us we’d be doing a musical and I got so excited because when I grow up I want to be an actor. This is going to be my first performance!

Nicolas Fernandez Riveras, Pre-Primary CELLO I really liked “Musica Viva” because it had really, really good music. Fiddlesticks had a guitar, violin and cello. They had a great beat and it sounded very good. I saw how to play a cello and I didn’t know that before.

Benjamin Bloch, Pre-Primary SINGING I love Performing Arts because we can sing a lot and I really like singing. I like playing musical games. I’ve learnt to make songs with Miss Samson and I love to keep a beat and make a rhythm.

Arran Brown, Pre-Primary LET IT PLAY

Jack Sisson, Year 3R CONCERT At the Autumn Concert I had to play “King of Stones” and “Walking in the Air”. I was so excited for my first concert ever. That was the highlight of this year for me.

Richard Gamble, Year 3R VOCAL EXERCISE I like Choir because it is fun and I get to spend lots of time with my friends and Miss Samson in the morning. I also get to sing nice songs and exercise my voice to get it ready to sing.

Heath Arbuckle, Year 3S COMMUNICATION I loved learning about the different types of communication you can use like verbal, non-verbal, gestures and physical. It was a challenge working with a partner and trying to understand what they wanted you to do and trying to tell them what you wanted them to do.

My favourite thing to do in Performing Arts is singing “Let It Play” because I love that song.

Jai Moxham, Year 4T

Billy Black, Year 1G

ORCHESTRA

WHEN I GROW UP

My favourite thing in Performing Arts is Orchestra because I love playing music pieces like “Kings of Stone” on the cello. I also love playing instruments with other people because of the sound!

I really liked listening to “Musica Viva” because all of the songs are great. It makes me think that I should be a musician when I grow up.

Oliver Campbell, Year 2W DOUBLE BASS LESSONS My favourite thing is learning Double Bass with Zac – I just love it!

Lachlan Cairns, Year 3R

26

Isaak Ventouras, Year 4T DRUMS I loved it when we got to play with the drums because it looked and sounded super cool.

Andrew Katsambanis, Year 2F

Mikhael Djauhari, Year 5C MUSICAL I have really enjoyed Performing Arts. It is one of my favourite subjects. I have really enjoyed the “Dream On” musical so far. It is so fun dancing, singing, acting and laughing. It has been so fun.

Hugo Poll, Year 5C LEARNING SONGS This year I enjoyed learning songs for the musical. I also liked learning my lines. I’ve enjoyed practising everything because it’s not often that you get to perform in a musical. I haven’t been in a musical before and it’s been a fun experience so far.

Xander Dore, Year 5C LEARNING LINES I love Performing Arts because we get to do really fun things, like the musical. It is so fun and I cannot wait to perform it. I have memorised all of my lines.

Levi Lawson, Year 5W AFRICAN DANCE My favourite moment in Performing Arts was the African dance activity. In this activity we were put into groups and had to choreograph a dance routine that was based on the book “The Lost Tail”. My group used ribbons. Our class made two dances that we put together with the other class to make one spectacular show.

James Cowan, Year 5W

VISUAL ARTS The Very Hungry Caterpillar, written and illustrated by Eric Carle was a wonderful source of inspiration for the Pre-Primary artists.

After reading the story and many other colourful illustrated tales by Eric Carle, the boys had the opportunity to create their own collage caterpillars. Working in the lively style of Carle, they each created their own painted papers to use within their collaged artworks.

CIRCLES I learnt about Kandinsky and how he does circles.

Brodie Gillett, Pre-Primary MAKING

Mrs Jane Roche Junior School Art Specialist

I like Art because there are so many things you can make.

COLLAGE

Robert Mackay, Pre-Primary

I liked Art when we were doing the collage of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”.

COLLAGE

Benjamin Bloch, Pre-Primary

I made a caterpillar by using paper to make a collage.

BUTTERFLIES

Hugo Smith, Pre-Primary

We have been colouring in the butterfly from “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”.

I LOVE ART!

Arran Brown, Pre-Primary BOOKS I like reading the books and copying the main character of the book in Art.

I loved Art because every picture is mysterious and crazy. The pattern pictures that we did used lots of different and colourful shapes.

Anderson Strk-Lingard, Year 2W

Nicolas Fernandez Riveras, Pre-Primary 27 JUNIOR SCHOOL

FRENCH “In French I’ve been learning about saying Bonjour.”

Benjamin Roberts, Pre-Primary FRENCH GAMES

SINGING

I liked playing games at the start of our French lessons and my favourite game was “Un à dix” (1 – 10).

I enjoyed singing the French songs at the start of every lesson. I like that I now know some French words like “j’aime” and “le lapin”.

Eugene Cha, Year 1G

Ben Marris, Year 3S

FRUIT SALAD

FAVOURITE LESSON

My favourite French game is “Fruit Salad”.

The word I now know is “l’hélicoptère.”

I liked the lessons where we learnt all about the animals and biomes. I also enjoyed how we do the date and the season at the start of each French lesson.

Andrew King, Year 1G PREPOSITIONS

Will Sadleir, Year 5C

My favourite French lesson is every lesson.

I think it was tricky to learn prepositions but I know them now.

FRENCH CHEESE

Thomas Lovegrove, Year 2F FOUR CORNERS I loved playing the game “4 Corners” in French. The new French words I know now are “le chien” and “le chat”.

Charlie Warden, Year 2F FAMILY TREES

28

My highlight in Year 4 was eating cheese in French. Some of the cheeses tasted delicious, like Brie and Comté but some didn’t taste nice like the Fourme d’Ambert.

Jack Wood, Year 4C LADYBIRD I liked doing the ladybird song in French.

Hugo Smith, Pre-Primary

I loved making the family trees in French.

I always looked forward to learning new words in each lesson.

PEGS

Thomas Magtengaard, Year 3S

Oscar Seaburne-May, Pre-Primary

We put the pegs on the paper for the weather, the days of the week and a jumper or a t-shirt.

LIBRARY “I really like all the knowledge you learn in the books and there is so much more knowledge to learn!”

Charlie Martin, Year 2W DIFFERENT BOOKS

BOOK WEEK PARADE

SAM PERCHIE

My favourite part of the Library is the fact that the you can choose different books and how good and funny they are. I like the small book called “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.”

This year in Library, I liked the quiz to get the raffle tickets and the golden tickers. I like this because it made me think about Roald Dahl to celebrate his 100th year. It gave me an opportunity to dress up as my favourite character in the Roald Dahl books, my one was “Willy Wonka” from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Sam is an author and musician from Ghana.

He showed us what his culture was like. He lived in a village in the jungle and he was not allowed to go to the water hole in the middle of the day. He also played the totem drum and I liked the sound.

Vincent Zhu, Year 3S

BOORI PRYOR

Thomas Chambers, Year 2W CHOOSING BOOKS I like choosing books because it’s fun to read.

I like when Mrs Salt reads a story because it’s really nice. I like Book Week because it is really fun dressing up. I like picking books because I can find new books.

Kush Narula, Year 2W NON-FICTION AND FICTION This year in Library I learnt about fiction and non-fiction; fiction is cartoons and non-fiction means real. Fiction is a book like “Pig the Pug” and non-fiction is a book like “Earth in Place.”

I also loved to learn new things from books in the library. My favourite books are Roald Dahl’s books like “Going Solo.”

George Young, Year 2W MRS SALT READING I like Library because I like the books that Mrs Salt chooses. When Mrs Salt reads, it is a time for me to cool down. After she reads one or two stories we borrow books.

Cooper Royle, Year 2W BOOK WEEK Something I enjoyed about Book Week this year was we got to dress up as Roald Dahl characters and we had to work hard to make the costumes. I dressed up as “Fantastic Mr Fox”.

WEIRDO This year I’ve enjoyed the Ahn Do “Weirdo” series because I have a good sense of humour. The genre is humour and Weir Do does some funny things that I wouldn’t.

Alexander Fine, Year 3S CHOOSING BOOKS

Lachlan Flaherty, Year 4C

I liked it when Boori Pryor came in to talk to us because he was funny. I also learnt a lot from him like how to play the didgeridoo. He was also good because he let us play some amazing instruments.

Ari Coulson, Year 4C NINJA FROG!

I like to read the books in the library. Trying to choose a favourite would be like asking a mum to choose her favourite son!

My favourite part of Library this year was when Boori Pryor came in to share his lifestyle with us and his books he wrote. My favourite part was when he talked about his “ninja” frog.

Abel Algie, Year 3R

Jasper Constantine, Year 4C

MY FAVOURITE PERIOD

CINDERELLA

The great thing about Scotch is the library. It’s really fun because you get to borrow books and read them. I think Library is my favourite period.

My favourite part of library is Book Week! I loved this special occasion because of the costumes. I loved all costumes because of such creativity. To top it off the teachers did a hilarious play (Mr Stewart was Cinderella!!)

Kevin Li, Year 4C TAKING BOOKS AT HOME

Isaak Ventouras, Year 4T

I think Library was awesome this year! I got to borrow heaps of books. My favourite part of library was choosing books to borrow and reading them at home.

Billy Mahaffy, Year 4C

Jarrod Hutchison, Year 3S 29 JUNIOR SCHOOL

CLASSWORK “I loved making a cubby out of sticks with Ms Clancy at Bush School.”

Hugo Smith, Pre-Primary

GO NOODLE

YEAR 12 BUDDIES

STEM PROJECTS THE BOATS

I like “Go Noodle” because I get to dance to really good music. Your “Go Noodle” monster gets more powerful when you dance. If you are really good at dancing your monster gets really powerful and you get even better at dancing.

I loved the Buddy Olympics because we ran with our Year 12 Buddies and had Piggy Back Races. We also did an Egg and Spoon Race and sprayed our hair all different colours. It was lots of fun.

I liked the STEM boat challenge because you needed to build a boat and it needed to float on the water. If it sank, you are out. The materials we used were tinfoil, masking tape, pop sticks and straws. It was so fun!

Callum Kennedy, Year 1G

Joshua Munro, Year 2W

Sam Bult, Year 3R

BUDDY OLYMPICS

ECO FRIENDLY HOUSES I loved making our “Eco-friendly” houses because it was challenging and super. The Exhibition was cool because we each got a chocolate chip cookie!

We did a Buddy Olympics with the Year 12’s. It was very fun because it was a small Olympics.

We had an egg and spoon race and more. It was the best day with our buddy.

James Cousins, Year 2F YEAR TWO My favourite thing in Year 2 has been to learn and have fun with my friends because I want to read well and meet new people at school.

Dane Morrison, Year 2W SILENT READING I really enjoy silent reading. No-one is allowed to talk so no-one makes you lose your spot or page and you can get 10-20 pages read which can teach you a lot of stuff.

Jack Mayo, Year 2W STEM In Year 3 I liked STEM because you needed to get creative! I won the boat challenge, which was exciting. I also liked STEM because it taught me technology and I worked with different people to become better at cooperating. STEM is EXTREMELY fun!

L.L.I. (Levelled Literacy Intervention) In L.L.I. we read brilliant books. I like L.L.I. because it helps us with our comprehension.

I like the books because they give you information that you might not know. My favourite book was ‘The Slackers’; front to back! My favourite thing to do in L.L.I is Readers’ Theatre.

Xavier Smith, Year 3R TEACHER CHAIR PROJECT

Lachlan Cairns, Year 3R

The highlight of Year 3 for me was the “Teacher Chair” project. Making the chair was fun because I got to do it with my friends and the classroom was really messy!

TEACHER CHAIR PROJECT

Orlando Capobianco, Year 3S

One of my favourite memories of 2016 was the “Teacher Chair” project because of three reasons. The first reason was because our prototype was really good. The second reason was because it was hard, as we could only make it out of cardboard and duct tape. The last reason was because I had done nothing like it before.

GOLDEN TIME

Lucas Marley, Year 3R

The highlight for me in Year 3 was Golden Time because we could do whatever we want and relax for a bit. I am always excited when we start Golden Time. Everyone gets to choose their favourite thing to do, however, we have to earn points as a group to get what we want. We also need to have good behaviour to earn them.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Vincent Zhu, Year 3S CATCHING BUGS

we found insects.

As part of our ‘How we express ourselves” unit of inquiry, I liked doing photography because it looks cool. I liked editing my image using editing on my iPad camera to enhance the photo. I also enjoyed doing panoramas.

Robbie Algie, Pre-Primary

Kristian Bellekom, Year 3R

Oliver Campbell, Year 2W iMOVIES WITH YEAR 12 I really enjoyed the iMovie trailer making that we did with our Year 12 Buddies; their names are Zac, Nathan and Charles. We also did some Buddy Olympics which was great because I got to eat hotdogs, they were super yummy!

Brendan Chin, Year 2W BUSH SCHOOL The first day I went to Bush School,

30

I like when we get to Bush School and doing bug catching.

Benjamin Bloch, Pre-Primary

SPORT “I liked playing ‘Duck, Duck, Goose’ in Physical Education I also liked exercising, running and skipping.

I loved the Cross Country when we ran over 100 metres.”

Marcus McKimmie, Pre-Primary CRICKET

ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

I have really enjoyed Cricket this year. The bad thing was I was always in the Bs and I wanted to be in the As because they play real cricket.

I loved the Athletics Carnival because I got

Hayden Henschel, Year 5C GAELIC

to do hurdles, running, high jump, shot put, and the 400 metre sprint. I also liked it because it was fun!

Billy Black, Year 1G

I really enjoyed Gaelic Football in our Physical Education lessons because it was so fun and competitive. We also played Inter-House Gaelic at recess and sometimes lunch.

AMAZING ATHLETICS CARNIVAL

Liam Jermy, Year 5C

Charlie Burton, Year 1G

SPORTS OF THE YEAR I liked the creative games, running and my favourite game was Dodgeball. I like “Dr Dodge” because I like the idea of saving

people while playing Dodgeball.

Berti Koth, Year 1G

Cooper Lisle, Year 2W

CROSS COUNTRY

FUN

At Cross Country training I was running but then

I love Sport because it is such a fun subject.

My favourite time is the Athletics Carnival because we get to do a whole day of what I love!

Cooper Royle, Year 2W

This year has been amazing because of the Athletics Carnival. I liked the sprinting and the hurdles because I like sport!

I tripped, went into a forward roll and stood up again. Everybody laughed but I didn’t mind.

Charlie Warden, Year 2F 31 JUNIOR SCHOOL

INCURSIONS AND EXCURSIONS “This has been the best year because we went on so many excursions and I have learnt so much.” Andrew King, Year 1G BILLY CART INCURSION

HERDSMAN LAKE

The Billy Cart incursion was epic because we got the use wrenches, screws and a screw driver. We used all these things because we got to build a billy cart! We finished making ours second last and when we were riding it, ours was the only one that did not break.

My all-time favourite moment in 2016 was the excursion to Herdsman Lake. We got to fish with nets which was cool. We saw a show about animals and bugs that live there.

William Macknay, Year 2F

CURTIN UNIVERSITY

CAMP I liked camp because we were out in the bush and there were so many things to do like canoeing, orienteering, setting up tents and heaps of games. I liked how we got to be with our friends and stay away from home for two nights.

Will Sadleir, Year 5C SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER I liked my Dad coming in to talk to us because he told us about the person who inspired him to play AFL before he hurt his leg running and had to stop playing.

32

Jai Lyon, Year 2W

Richard Gamble, Year 3R

My highlight of my year was the Curtin University Science excursion. We made slime, lotions and did experiments. It was very fun because you got to play with scientific things.

Nathan Liu, Year 4C GRAVITY DISCOVERY The Gravity Discovery Centre was awesome because we got to drop balloons off a tower called the ‘Leaning Tower of Gingin’. My favourite thing was the Space ship which was a little capsule that spun as fast as a rocket.

I loved it!

Cohen Clover, Year 2F

PYP EXHIBITION “The library helped a lot for exhibition; you could grab books and information and use it for your research.”

Noah Lewis, Year 5C The PYP Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of a PYP school and student. The boys were immersed in a 10-week collaboratively constructed unit of inquiry.

This event is the culmination of the 5-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. Students are involved in all of the essential elements of the PYP and share them with the whole school community in an exhibition presentation.

The PYP Exhibition has a number of key purposes:

EXHIBITION GUEST SPEAKERS

WORKSHOPS

We were so lucky to have lots of different guest speakers for exhibition. We had Alexis’ mum talk about Greek culture, Jude’s mum talk about Samoan culture and Fletcher’s dad talk about playing for the Eagles. We also had Reverend Wright talk about the Uniting Church. My favourite was the guest speaker who talked about food and nutrition because it was really interesting.

Our workshops made us think about how to make our final exhibition presentation easier and how we were going to be creative with our presentation. During the workshops I used lots of skills involving listening, being a risk taker and being open minded.

Marco Ghiselli, Year 5W MENTORS

• For students to engage in an in-depth, collaborative inquiry

Campbell Houliston, Year 5C

On our first mentor meeting with Ms. Gray, we

iMOVIE AND COLLAGE WORKSHOPS

• To provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for their own learning

In the workshops I learnt a lot about iMovie and collages. In iMovie I learnt about audio and splitting clips, while in the Collages workshop I learnt what collages were: (pictures put together with other pictures of a similar topic). I was very pleased with my collage as Mr. Flint rated it 4.8/5.

checked that our journals were up to date and we told her all about the PYP Exhibition website and which links went where!

• For students to synthesize and apply their learning of previous years and to reflect upon their journey through the PYP • To demonstrate how students can take action as a result of their learning • To unite the students, teachers, parents and other members of the school community in a collaborative experience that incorporates the essential elements of the PYP. In 2016, the boys’ inquiries were guided by the transdisciplinary theme of “Who we are” with the central idea: “Beliefs, values, culture, health and the environment have an impact on who we are as individuals.”

Mr Warwick Norman Junior School Dean of Teaching & Learning

James Cowan, Year 5W ASD During exhibition, I studied Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) and learnt it affected people mentally and socially. I became interested about ASD because I know quite a few people who have ASD. I had a good group. Noah was helping Liam and me with research. Liam kept everything neat and tidy. I was helping everyone stay on time.

Joe Chegwidden, Year 5W

Nathaniel Mooney, Year 5W JOURNALS When we had our meetings with our mentors we had to check our journals to see if we were up to date. I learnt that I needed to be more independent with my work. I improved my selfmanagement skills so I completed all my work.

Kyle de Bruin, Year 5W WORKSHOPS My topic was studying the reasons for addiction to the internet. I liked researching about this topic because I was addicted to the screen and now I know what it can do to you.

My action will be to stop when asked and not use a computer too often.

HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

The start of a new school year is such an exciting time. So many new faces, new routines, new experiences and setting of new expectations. Within all of the excitement and activity of camps heading off, sport commencing, concerts being staged, a drama production unfolding, community service events being organised, one of the highlights of the year for me occurred.

It was at our own Inter-House swimming carnival. It was almost the end of the programme when two boys dived into the pool in separate races, knowing they would come last by a long way, but nevertheless stuck it out and completed a lap of the pool.

It was something they had rarely done before.

They earned 1 point for their respective Houses. Not a lot in the scheme of things and hardly noticeable on the scoreboard.

What they did earn however was a standing ovation and respect of all of the students in the grandstand. As observers we knew we had witnessed something special. It was a beautiful illustration of what we see as the underlying ethos of Scotch College Middle School: boys encouraged and willing to have a go, taking a risk, being a part of the team and in doing so being supported and recognised by their peers.

Our end of year Speech Night was a highlight too. Although we present each boy individually, the highlight was watching another group of Middle School boys march off to Senior School. Not as individuals but as a team, as a group of friends who know each other and are prepared to support each other in the next exciting phase of their learning. The following is a snapshot of 2016, an exciting, challenging year in Middle School where coming to grips with transition, being engaged with the MYP, College traditions and building relationships, and having a go at something different and innovative are central tenets.

ROUND SQUARE

RAMSAY CUP

The College’s involvement in the Round Square organisation was firmly in the spotlight this year with the Middle School hosting the Round Square South-East Asian Conference. The conference was attended by 180 students and teachers from across Australia and south-east Asia. For one fun-filled engaging week, students from over 30 Round Square schools painted, debated, surfed, flew kites, rolled swags, explored Kings Park and came together for the betterment of the community in extended friendship and fellowship. Whilst there were highlights every day, the gathering of the whole conference at Cottesloe Beach for a pylon swim on the final morning will remain an enduring memory.

Introduced for the first time this year was a Staff v Students competition. Events were held in each term that included games such as basketball shootout, table tennis, ultimate Frisbee, dodgeball, AFL goal shooting and touch rugby. A beautiful handmade trophy was created by the Design Department and is now known as the Ramsay Cup recognising the great playground presence and deeds of Mr Wayne Ramsay our former Deputy Head of Middle School and widely proclaimed ‘king of the handball court’. Mr Ramsay had the privilege of presenting the Ramsay Cup for the first time this year to the students.

Our Year 8 Round Square Student Exchange Programme continued this year growing from three schools in 2015 to seven schools in 2016, with an exchange school located in each state. 14 Scotch Year 8 students visited schools in either Launceston, Melbourne, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Alice Springs or central New South Wales. The boys remarked that being on exchange and hosting reciprocal visits was such a rich and rewarding experience and widely encouraged.

HIGHLAND GAMES The Highland Games made a spectacular return to the College after a hiatus of almost 20 years. There was plenty of tartan, lots of William Wallace look-a-like painted faces and some challenging events, not the least being the 50m kiltie dash. The response from parents, boys and the OSC’s who remember the Highland Games from their time at school was overwhelmingly positive, so it is back on the calendar again for next September.

MIDDLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION The Middle School production continues to draw in and inspire boys to have a go and challenge themselves on stage. This year’s play was the rollicking “Treasure Island”. With a cast of over 40 pirates and other characters, they played to a sold out audience at each performance. The production not only showcased a clever story and the talent of our budding actors, but the tremendous enthusiasm for the performing arts in Middle School.

successful that we are contemplating running this tour on a biennial basis. Strong links to Aboriginal history, early pastoral history and the fact that the Shark Bay area is a World Heritage site make it a rich and exciting place to visit. The 16 boys who visited Dirk Hartog Island this year have raved about the rare opportunity and just how exciting it was.

LONG TABLE LUNCH One of the exciting innovations to the Middle School curriculum this year was the Long Table Lunch, a central component to the Food Design course in Year 8. Students in this course did it all, from curing the meats, making the sourdough breads, pickling the vegetables, making herbed butter and lemonade to laying the table, presenting the dishes, waiting on the tables and cleaning up. For the lucky parents and teachers who attended it was like being immersed in a scene from a gourmet food magazine.

Community Service was again a feature across the year and our efforts took a number of forms. The start of the year was ushered in with a group of boys heading down to the Harvey/Waroona district to work for a weekend on fencing projects for farms that had been burnt out by the December/ January fires. During the year boys raised money for worthy causes such as the PMH Foundation organised by former patient Max Avon-Smith and supported children at the Parkerville Children’s Home.

A unique opportunity for Year 8 boys arose with a tour to Shark Bay to coincide with the 400th Anniversary of the discovery and landing at the northern most point of what is now Dirk Hartog Island. Initially considered to be a one off expedition capturing a moment in time has proven to be so enriching and

Y6 CURRICULUM

This year’s English units involved studying picture books for young adults, comparisons of multi-modal texts and examining persuasive writing techniques.

The year began with the exploration of different poetic devices and using identity as a context for creating poems about interests and personality traits.

This led into the exploration of biography and autobiography focusing on Boy by Roald Dahl. A detailed novel study of Hatchet was an engaging task and boys showed their creative thinking while incorporating descriptive language into their narrative writing. The picture book The Lost Thing was used as a context for exploring imagery and theme. Our boys created their own Lost Thing with adaptations for a dystopian setting. By experimenting with new technologies, reports were created using iBooks Author to develop interactive images and illustrations of the features of the creature.

Written responses were practised throughout the year and culminated in the exploration of Australian history and the Stolen Generations.

Boys studied the film Rabbit Proof Fence and the boys compared the events, setting and characters in this text to historical accounts of the era.

groups were highly entertaining and the boys enjoyed practising their public speaking.

These communication skills were put to the test during the Science Fair where students conducted a Scientific Investigation of their own choosing and spent time reflecting on their processes and findings. Boys were excited to communicate their findings with peers, staff and parents during the Science Fair.

Mathematics provided numerous opportunities for hands–on learning this year as the boys

to the curriculum and the boys were let loose on an experiment integrating their knowledge of the scientific method with data collection, graphing and communication skills.

In Design, the boys rotated through studies of Food, Digital Media and Materials. Food Design culminated in baking the ultimate fruit dessert; this was a task that required research through surveying family members, analysing existing fruit crumbles and taste testing Mrs Frampton’s famous apple, rhubarb and coconut crumble.

…Mathematics class had never been so fun as the week Bottle Flipping was added to the curriculum…

In iLearn, continental drift and exploration of the tectonic plates was a focus during our unit on natural disasters. The inquiry into both the science behind natural disasters and the humanitarian efforts after, was a highlight for the boys. Students were full of energy when identifying and building circuits to explore energy production and flow. As the Federal Election grew closer, the opportunity to run for ‘office’ in each classroom meant speeches and the formation of policy. Students explored politics, Australia’s voting system and Houses of Parliament. The posters, speeches and campaigns run by the different

developed a deeper understanding of the processes of Mathematics. They were fascinated by an investigation of Fibonacci numbers and were amazed to discover, through the counting of seeds and petals in plant samples, that Fibonacci numbers occur in nature. Our studies of transformations led us to research mosaic art from the ancient world, the history of the Ishtar Gate, and attempt to answer the question of why symmetry and transformations are considered so desirable in art. Finally, Mathematics class had never been so fun as the week Bottle Flipping was added

Digital Design involved creating a stop-motion animation film to teach young children about one of the Learner Profiles. The boys learned to master new technologies and follow the design brief to create impressive films.

Materials Design introduced boys to methods of woodworking and they created a wooden kangaroo toy and a door sign.

It was a busy year in the Language B classrooms as the boys worked on describing locations, comparing animals and explaining families in Indonesian. They made a simple style of Batik using a cold wax process and

The boys also enjoyed participating in a wide range of international games including European Handball, Gaelic Football, Ultimate Frisbee and Gridiron. participated in a traditional dance group that involved energetic dancing, body percussion and song. In French, students designed their dream homes and a new island, combining French and Australian culture, which they presented to their peers. Alongside the design of the island, they included new sports and festivals from the two countries that included aspects of both cultures, as well as describing the weather and climate of their island.

In Physical Education, the year began with the boys being introduced to the fundamentals of a wide variety of ‘invasion games’ including Basketball and Soccer. The boys then designed their own two-minute gymnastics routine. Each

routine required the use of the balance beam, mini trampoline, vault and parallel bars. The students also became experts at performing forward rolls and cartwheels during this exciting programme. In Term 3, the boys enjoyed improving their Athletics skills in preparation for the Inter-house Athletics Carnival. They focused on improving their throws in shotput and discus, along with developing their jumping skills in triple jump, long jump and high jump. The boys also enjoyed participating in a wide range of international games including European Handball, Gaelic Football, Ultimate Frisbee and Gridiron.

43 MIDDLE SCHOOL

Y6 OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND JPSSA SPORT Year 6 students enjoyed a wide variety of team sports throughout the year as part of the JPSSA programme.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed their Outdoor Education programme which involved learning how to make their own fishing rigs, cook effectively with a Trangia and read a map using a compass to assist with their orienteering. However, without a doubt, the major highlight of the year was surfing. All Year 6 classes enjoyed three sensational days camping with the Outdoor Education team in Lancelin, during which time the boys built on their understanding of beach safety and surf awareness whilst developing their confidence in a marine environment. Some of the highlights included taking part in surfing lessons each day, camping out in tents with their buddies, working as a cohesive team in ‘The Amazing Race’, and catching a variety of fish off the Lancelin Jetty.

44

Year 6 students enjoyed a wide variety of team sports throughout the year as part of the JPSSA programme. The students showed unwavering enthusiasm and commitment by training every Tuesday morning with their respective teams before the school day had begun. The highlight for many boys throughout the week was when they took part in competitive games on Thursday afternoons against fellow JPSSA schools. All students displayed a respectful attitude towards their opponents throughout the season and continued to develop their sporting skills and sportsman-like behaviour.

Y6 EVENTS As part of the Year 6 programme, our boys participated in many exciting school incursions, events, guest speakers and presentations.

Binh Nguyen entranced us all with his migration story set against the background of the Vietnam War. The students had countless questions for him as migration was a current unit of work being undertaken at the time, and his stories of survival on the seas, despite a lack of food and pirate encounters, were captivating. The overarching message from Binh was one of gratitude for being given a fresh start in Perth and the importance of giving back to the community that helped his family.

Mr James Aitken spoke to us during Science Week and discussed his work as a surgeon, the many important factors that impact on health and minimise surgery risks, and the exciting future of surgery using robotics and apps.

We also had Scitech visit to showcase the wonderful world of slime and states of matter. The boys had to complete a number of experiments and investigations with their group.

These included polymer worms, making a volcano, strange sand, magnetic mixtures and super absorbent animals.

The annual Year 6 Science Fair showcased the boys’ mastery of the scientific method. Parents and friends were invited to the event and were impressed by the level of scientific knowledge and the excellent communication skills demonstrated by the boys.

The Electoral Commission visited to demonstrate how preferential voting works and the Water Corporation educated the students on how to conserve water and use it wisely. Western Power encouraged the boys to look at electrical safety and the sources of electricity in Western Australia, and Transperth visited to encourage more of our boys to catch public transport in a bid to decongest traffic in our surrounding streets.

The annual Year 6 PLC Scotch Quiz Night was a resounding success this year, as we were filled to capacity with eager teams of boys and girls. MC Michael Campbell on the microphone kept the quiz proceedings lively, and a large team of parents and friends assisted with the catering behind the scenes.

Y6 REFLECTIONS Moving from a Junior School setting to the Middle School provides our boys with increased opportunities to develop independence in their learning within a supportive and safe environment. The comments below are in the boys’ own words and provide an insightful and reflective viewpoint on the year that was.

“When I first walked into the classroom there was a very nice atmosphere. The boys were really welcoming and they all included me in their games.”

“The Scotch College Middle School has definitely been a big step up from my old school. The opportunities are much better and there is more variety in the things we can do.”

“The teachers were a great help and if ever you were stuck, they would understand the problems you were struggling with and get straight into helping.”

“The teachers are really nice and the classes are always really, really fun - especially iLearn and Maths.”

“At my old school I barely felt independent because there wasn’t really any homework, but now I can go to my bedroom and do some.”

“I love the way I have to take a satchel and move to different classes now, and I really liked the teachers – they were funny, comforting and helped me settle in.”

“We seemed more independent and organised as the year went by, because we always had to pack our own bags to go to the next class.”

“I learned that I have to get to school five minutes early to organise myself for my classes during the day.”

“I’ve had lots of highlights in my first year of Middle School, but one of the main ones was learning the bagpipes as it gave me lots of knowledge about Scotch and Scottish traditions.”

Y7 CURRICULUM The IB Learner Profile perfectly encapsulates what the curriculum of Middle School hopes to achieve.

The Middle School Curriculum is about 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 skills, both independently and in collaborative situations.

These are skills that will stay with the boys long into their future and well beyond their days at Scotch College. The IB Learner Profile perfectly encapsulates what the curriculum of Middle School hopes to achieve.

In English and the Visual Arts subject areas, the boys’ creativity is sparked. The boys created their own horror stories and creation myths, as well as beautiful pieces of art that included Cubist Self-Portraits, Glass Scenes and 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. Slapstick Silent Films were on show in Digital Design and the Healthy Hamburger assignment in Food Design was a crowd pleaser.

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

48

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 their knowledge of History, Geography, Science and Economics to solve the Cane Toad Problem and the Global Water Crisis.

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 were required to create their own coaching session and present the lesson to their peers.

Languages provided the boys with the opportunity to practise skills in realistic situations such as bartering with storeowners in Indonesian and purchasing food in a French café.

Lastly, the Action Research Project was one of the biggest undertakings any year group could be involved in. Each class was required to conduct research on behalf of a real organisation, transform the data, interpret the data and formulate their own conclusions.

They then presented their findings to a real audience who took their information and used it to make real changes in their organisation.

Y7 EVENTS There was healthy competition across all of the rounds and side events, and the boys made connections that will last well into the future.

In 2016, the Year 7 cohort had many opportunities to extend their education and personal journey beyond the classroom.

Early in Autumn Term, the boys were involved in an excursion to Fremantle to investigate the livability of the city. Fremantle Mayor Brad Petit came to Scotch College to inform the boys of the latest projects in Fremantle and the boys then explored the city to see the changes for themselves.

The highlight of the Year 7 social calendar is always the combined Scotch/PLC Quiz Night.

2016 saw a record attendance for the event with MacKellar Hall full to bursting point.

There was healthy competition across all of the rounds and side events, and the boys made connections that should last well into the future.

During Winter Term, the boys were heavily involved in Community and Service activities.

Over a three-week period almost all Year 7s visited Bold Park and Cottesloe Beach to help organisations, such as Coast Care, plant trees and clean the important natural areas in our community.

49 MIDDLE SCHOOL

Y7 OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND JPSSA SPORT Just about every boy who attends gets to experience something new for the very first time and most can’t wipe the grins off their faces by the time they return.

Outdoor Education is always a highlight of the year for the Year 7 boys and 2016 was no exception. It all started very early on with the week-long camp at Moray. This opportunity, in the middle of Summer Term, allows the boys and their teachers to experience the great outdoors, swim, build rafts, hike, climb up rock walls and cook their own meals. Just about every boy who attends gets to experience something new for the very first time and most can’t wipe the grins off their faces by the time they return. An interesting twist of events saw the 7G and 7H classes having to conduct their

50

camp on the ovals of Scotch College due to a bushfire restricting access to Moray. The Outdoor Education staff did a fantastic job ensuring the experience was as close to the normal experience as possible.

In Spring Term, the Outdoor Education staff returned to take the boys sailing for two days.

Day 1 consisted of learning how to sail and Day 2 was an independent adventure sail on the Swan River. The boys enjoyed their trip and learned some valuable lessons about teamwork and communication in the process.

Y7 REFLECTIONS The most enjoyable experience at Scotch is the Outdoor Education, the camps and PSA sport. I also loved learning about Ancient Greece.

Year 7 boys comment on their experiences in 2016: “I have really liked the subjects that we have learned in iLearn and English this year. I also really liked the PSA sports programme and how well it is always organised. I also really enjoyed Art and Drama.”

“In Year 7 at Scotch I really enjoyed the sporting programme, design subjects and the handson work experiences. Our subjects have been taught in more realistic ways and the great teachers have helped us with this.”

“I really liked sailing the most, it was definitely the most enjoyable experience I have had next to the water. I also liked it because I had my friends next to me.”

“I liked the teachers because they are very helpful, and just doing the work because the teachers make it very fun. Also the projects are very enjoyable.”

“I liked all the different Art subjects we had because I was able to do a lot of things I like, such as acting and arts.”

“The most enjoyable experience at Scotch is the Outdoor Education, the camps and PSA sport. I also loved learning about Ancient Greece.”

Y8 CURRICULUM Middle School enjoyed a memorable Science Week in August as part of National Science Week 2016, with the theme: “Robots, Droids and Drones”.

The Year 8 boys listened to a number of guest speakers, all of whom are experts in their field of Science, with a focus on innovation.

Speakers included Professor Peter Quinn (Astronomy), Dr Leslie Banfield (Microbiology), Mr Edward Buller (Hydrogeology) and Dr Oliver Berry (Biology). All speakers gave direction to the boys as to how Science can lead to successful careers. Scotch Middle School appreciates the time and effort that these professionals make to inspire our next generation of scientists – thank you.

Other highlights of the week included a Scitech and Science Alive incursion with a focus on Energy, “healthy” ice cream using liquid nitrogen, the egg-drop challenge (won

by Joshua Galvin) and Bridge Building (won

by Alex Kirwood and Charlie Radici). The Year 7 cohort welcomed Water Corporation for an incursion on water recycling, which linked nicely to the iLearn Programme. Once again, Dr James Aitken gave a fascinating presentation to the Year 6 students about lifestyle choices. The Science Fair displayed much hard work and dedication by our young scientists. It is with excitement that we see our boys question, create and search to adapt to a fast–paced, ever changing technological advancement in Science.

At the beginning of the year the students undertook a cross-curricular excursion

56

to King’s Park that encompassed the Humanities, English and Mathematics learning areas. The students broke into subgroups and rotated through activities that looked at change over time in the land use of the park, orienteering and map skills, creative writing pieces that employed personification, and mathematics sessions in situ.

The Humanities learning areas also saw the introduction of an economics unit that drew on the expertise and business acumen of the parent body, several of whom were generous enough with their time to come in to talk to the students on a range of different topics relating to business. This was followed by a ‘Scotch Shark Tank’ activity, where the boys worked in pairs on an entrepreneurial idea, which they presented to the group, considering such factors as target market, competitors, point of difference etc.

In English, a number of students have undertaken the Talented Young Writers’ Program run at Fremantle, which saw them come under the tutelage of published authors who helped them develop their writing skills.

This was complemented by the Storylines Festival at All Saints College, which focused on developing storytelling with the assistance of artists, poets, wordsmiths, cartoonists and photographers.

Y8 EVENTS The Year 8 Social was hosted by PLC this year and it was a fun afternoon filled with a wide range of team activities and games.

Year 8 students have participated in a range of events this year including the Medieval Festival, the Highland Games, and the Year 8 Social (with PLC). The Medieval Festival, in August, was the culmination of a term’s History unit studied in Humanities exploring various aspects of life in Medieval Europe. The students undertook collaborative investigation projects that allowed them to research an aspect of the Middle Ages and represent it creatively through an engaging format of their choice. Not only did the Medieval Festival showcase this work, it allowed the students to engage in fighting and weaponry demonstrations and activity stalls run by the Grey Company.

The Highland Games had an exciting return to the College this year. This event provided the Year 8 students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills they had acquired in their Leadership course, and also a chance

to work collaboratively with their peers to help coordinate the teams of Years 6-8 students.

As this was the first time the Highland Games were run by the Middle School, the Year 8 students rose to the challenge and worked hard to recreate what was previously a significant community event.

The Year 8 Social was hosted by PLC this year and it was a fun afternoon filled with a wide range of team activities and games. The students who attended played Bubble Soccer, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, and novelty games; they also painted group crests and had an impromptu dance battle. The afternoon provided the students with an opportunity to make new friends in a fun environment. The hosting duties of this social return to Scotch next year and we are sure it will continue to be a success.

Y8 OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND JPSSA SPORT Every day the groups had different activities to undertake, so each morning there was optimism and excitement in the air.

Outdoor Education this year included a new component, all boys not only had the opportunity to experience the great outdoors, they also had a day of snorkelling during Spring Term. But it was the Moray Camp that was the true highlight of the Outdoor Education Programme in 2016, with all boys experiencing a week of adventure and fun. Rock climbing and abseiling was one component that tested skill, strength and resilience. The canoeing journey along the notorious ‘Killerfang Falls’ rapids was enough to intimidate even the toughest of students, with one boat overturning.

However, it was not the rapids that wet the boys, rather the games played whilst learning how to manoeuvre their rafts.

The food was exceptional throughout the camp. The boys ate chicken burgers and steak, built fires, and learned to make dough and cook woodfired pizza. Every day the groups had different activities to undertake, so each morning there was optimism and excitement in the air. On one morning a group would go off to the high ropes course. This was an exciting experience that involved more teamwork than first thought. The boys also completed a hike along the Bibbulmun Track, camping overnight and demonstrating their orienteering skills.

Moray Camp would be a highlight for many Year 8s this year, and it is a real credit to our talented Outdoor Education staff.

The Year 8 cohort play a pivotal role in the PSA programme with a wide variety of options available in both Summer and Winter seasons.

A few highlights from the boys were captured as follows: “Rowing this year has been an absolute blast.

It is so great to go out to the river with your mates and row together. One of the best parts of Rowing is the regatta in Term 1. It was fun 58

waking up at 5:00am to catch a bus with your friends. When you get there, there is an amazing atmosphere with all the other schools unpacking and getting their boats ready. When you finally get on the water with your crew and start to race it is such an amazing feeling having the water splash on your face and arms, and rowing as hard as you can to the finish with everyone cheering you on. Rowing this year has been an amazing experience and I have enjoyed every last second of it.”

Sebastian Wright “AFL in 2016 was a fantastic time playing with mates and having a great time on the field, win or loss. This year we gained some great players and had more wins than the previous year. A highlight game of the year was against a strong opponent, Aquinas, where we got over the line by four points. I would like to thank Mr Brinsden for coaching us this year and for a great time with the boys.”

Alex Chew “2016 Surfing was a success! Throughout the 2016 winter season a group of boys chose Surfing as their sport. Everyone knew of the dedication it would take waking up at 6:00am every Monday and Wednesday morning to get to Trigg beach at 6:30am. We had Surfing WA helping us with our technique every morning and they also helped us on Friday afternoons.

We had big swells reaching 3.2m which were intense and the wipe-outs were impressive.

We also had days when the waves were tiny.

We watched a film of ourselves surfing that had been recorded earlier and reflected on our technique with the aim to improve. All the boys formed a small surf community and we had some great times, mucking around in the waves. At the end of the Surfing season we

had a competition which a few boys, including myself, had the opportunity to partake in.

Scotch came second and we had a great day.

Overall, 2016 Surfing at Scotch was a fun but challenging sport that we all enjoyed.”

Nicholas Verryn “The Year 8 Rugby team had a great season playing all the other schools without conceding a game. Our trainings were hard but worth it from our mentors Mr Van Ingen-Kal and Ian. They have taught the team some great skills, especially Ian’s fitness training. Overall the Rugby teams have done very well throughout the year.”

Tiarell Niki “Soccer this year was a very different experience from the year before. We had lost a fair few of our regular players to other sports and were scattered with injuries, therefore, we did not expect many victories. Although we didn’t get the wins, the spirit of the team was superb and we all enjoyed our time. I would like to thank Mr Jerry McEwan for coaching us and to Joe for providing the sandwiches. Thanks boys for all the effort!”

Will Gordon In addition to playing regular fixtures, Year 8 featured in the PSA Inter-School Swimming and Athletics competitions. It was in the latter that a group of selected athletes from the cohort contributed significantly to the winning of the Alcock Shield by the largest winning margin.

The boys have a great love for their School and therefore are truly committed to the co-curricular programme, sporting and non-sporting. The sporting season in Year 8 has been one to remember and we wish to thank the whole community for their involvement.

Y8 REFLECTIONS The course helped students to identify what skills they were currently displaying and where they needed to improve.

Throughout 2016, Year 8 students had a variety of experiences that consolidated their learning in the Middle School. The introduction of Leadership as a fortnightly unit had the aim of developing qualities and skills that would stand our boys in good stead for their transition into the Senior School and beyond. Whilst Leadership will be developed further over the next few years, it was an excellent introduction and gave boys an opportunity to start thinking about what it takes to be a good leader. The course helped students to identify what skills they were currently displaying and where they needed to improve. Others saw it as a good opportunity to meet and work with others, improving their ability to participate in a team.

Along with learning about the qualities that make a good leader, students were also paired up with the Year 6 classes for the purpose of forming Buddies. This gave the Year 8s an insight into the importance of being a role model for younger students, along with providing the Year 6s a friendly face to find around the School. Year 8 Leaders helped to mentor and provide support to their Year 6 Buddies in areas

relating to making friends, being organised and learning how to work with others. Overall, the course was seen as a useful tool to prepare students for the future.

The final year of Middle School was an opportunity for the boys to learn how to keep track of homework and assessments, manage their own timetables and get to lessons on time, thus developing more effective organisational skills and independent work habits. These vital life-long skills will be incredibly important as they transition into the Senior School. Whilst for some this will be an ongoing process, it has nevertheless been a valuable learning curve for others.

Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, another aspect of the boys’ journey is the lasting friendships that they have forged in the Middle School. Within the classroom, on the sporting field and outside of school, boys have worked alongside one another, forming strong connections that will endure as they move into the Senior School and through into their adult lives.

HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL 2016 was a year of outstanding achievement across the three academic streams offered in Year 11 and Year 12.

Boys studying courses in either the IB Diploma or Vocational Education and Training achieved unprecedented results while those boys studying courses in the Western Australian Certificate of Education once again placed amongst the highest achieving students in WA. In addition to outstanding academic achievements, 2016 also saw numerous highlights across the full breadth of the co-curricular, sport and service programmes.

66

and country in a range of academic and sporting competitions. More importantly, Scotch boys exhibited a passion for their College, a desire to serve others and a spirit that bonds them together.

This year we enjoyed the spectacular Addams Family production, the first musical at Scotch College in 12 years and the hugely successful hosting of the Perth Round of the World Scholar’s Cup. The boys showed great generosity on the tour to Tanzania where they participated in an ongoing project to build a Trade Training Centre in the remote village of Matipwili and the inspiring fundraising initiative of our Year 12 leaders in the World’s Greatest Shave who, in collaboration with girls from PLC, raised an astonishing $90,000 to help people with Leukaemia.

This sense of belonging and community has long been part of being a Scotch boy and reveals itself not only in the stands at PSA events and sporting fixtures but also in the meeting of school mates in the years well after graduation. One example, from 100 years ago, can be found in the letters from old-boys who wrote home during World War I, that tell of unexpected meetings with ‘Scotchies’ on the battle fields. F G Medcalf wrote about spending happy hours immersed in the Reporter. A copy of the school magazine made its way around to a number of old-Scotch boys in the trenches of France before making its way to London. The bond of school days was strong even then and drew old-Scotch boys far from home together like a magnet.

The boys’ drive and commitment led them to lift the State title in sailing for the second consecutive year, the PSA trophies in rugby, football, golf, athletics and, for the first time, the Brother Kelly Cup for badminton as well as winning the Australasian Philosothon title for the first time. Amongst these trophies were three winter season premierships, a feat not matched in our College’s long history.

Numerous boys have represented their state

Denver Quantrill, School Captain, spoke of this spirit when he announced the theme for 2016 as Stand United. Denver reminded us all that while we are all unique with different talents, interests and experiences we are bound together by the College crest. This crest unifies us with those in the Junior School and Middle School, with those yet to attend the school and the thousands of boys who have gone before us. When I asked

boys in the Senior School, ‘What does it mean to be a Scotch boy today?’ a sense of community and history resonated strongly: Alistair Murray (Year 11, Brisbane) said, “It means a lot to me to walk the corridors of the school like my family has done for five generations.”

Nic Pismiris (Year 10, Anderson) said, “To me, being a Scotch boy means taking pride in my actions. Forming new friendships with fellow Scotch boys and the teachers and, in general, a feeling of belonging. Both Scotch and my mates have helped me develop the building blocks on which my personality rests today, and I wouldn’t change a single thing.”

And Benji Steinberg (Year 9, Ferguson) said, “Being a Scotch boy is not a title but rather a compliment. It means sharing some of the most inspiring, honourable and enjoyable memories of your years at school with your best mates and uniting with some of your teachers and friends for life.”

While the College has personal meaning to every boy individually, the common theme is shared experience. Time spent with mates, time spent giving to others and time spent embracing challenge.

At the heart of everything we do at Scotch College are the three core values of integrity, service and stewardship. The evidence of these values is plentiful and is seen in the actions of our boys. To illustrate just one example related to service: In July of this year 15 Scotch boys and 11 PLC girls travelled to Tanzania to continue work on a Trade Training Centre in the remote village of Matipwili. This tour was the sixth service tour to Tanzania by Scotch boys over the past 12 years. Matthew Khowira (Year 12, Ferguson) when sharing

some of the experiences and memories the boys had from this tour, said, “Although they have so little to give, they were generous with their welcomes and their belongings.

An example was when a boy named Ramah bought me a bag of peanuts with all the money he had on him. This was truly a memorable moment.” Tim Reynolds (Year 11, Stuart) also on this tour said, “I have come to learn we are not normal and they unlucky, rather they are normal and we are very lucky”.

I have no doubt there were a number of experiences that will have left an indelible impression on all of the boys on the tour.

The benefits and rewards experienced by those on the Tanzania service tour are not dependent on the location or distance travelled. Service does not require us to leave our own community or to wait until we are part of an organised group at a set time. We don’t need to be invited.

Service is something we can do daily. We can give daily through simple acts of kindness. We can give of our time, encouragement, support, knowledge, attention, or perhaps a gift if we wish, but importantly, we must give without expecting a reward.

Now at the end of my time at Scotch College, I have come to know about this special place.

Yes, we have a world class Pipe Band, our boys march to assembly and we remain at the leading edge of educational innovation, Round Square, International Baccalaureate, a comprehensive community service and outdoor education programme to name just a few, but there is something less visible that lies at the heart - a sense of belonging to something much bigger than yourself. A 120 year history that surrounds us as we walk through Collegians House, the Memorial Hall, the main teaching block and read the Honour boards that hang in

The past four years have been filled with highlights, the majority of which are based around the relationships, warmth and welcome boys have shown to me around the school. the corridors. On a personal note, I thank the school community for welcoming and accepting me into this special place. The past four years have been filled with highlights, the majority of which are based around the relationships, warmth and welcome boys have shown to me around the school.

I congratulate Denver Quantrill, Captain of School and our leadership team of Fraser Cull, School Vice-Captain, Alex Crump, School Vice-Captain, and James NaylorPratt, Head of Student Council and each of our House Captains who have led and cared for our College and all who are in it. You have inspired both the boys and staff and, I have no doubt, many parents. You have created an inclusive culture of high expectation and encouraged all of us to stand united.

68

I extend a most sincere thanks to Dr Alec O’Connell who has extended a rich hand of friendship to me. I have been most fortunate to have shared this experience with someone

who cared about and supported my professional growth. He has shown me the importance of community and I am indebted to him for the experience and counsel he has given me over the past four years.

I also sincerely thank Peter Burt, Cara Fugill and Heidi Locke for their support, humour, wisdom and humility. They are the backbone of the Senior School. Not only are they highly professional in all that they do, they are kind, good humoured and they care. They care about the boys, they care about the staff and they care about our great school.

Finally, I thank boys, parents and staff most sincerely for welcoming me into your wonderful community and allowing me to get to know you. My experiences and memories will stay with me forever.

Thank you Dr Rob McEwan Head of Senior School

ALEXANDER HOUSE The lifeblood of Alexander House is undoubtedly our camaraderie and strong sense of community.

The very establishment of the House theme ‘Community’, which tied into the School theme ‘Stand United’ was a reflection of this strong sense of identity and cohesion that is inherent to the Alexander House culture.

The focus on the development of our community saw the formalisation of the House Tutor Cup, in which the various Tutor groups competed in an amalgam of activities such as the Inter-Tutor Quiz, Indoor Soccer and Tug of War. Furthermore, this theme saw the initiation of a highly successful House Community Fundraising Event in which the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross Bush Fire Appeal. Both the introduction of the House Theme and the Community and Service Fundraiser have added to the sense of what it means to be an Alexandrian and this has established a tradition and legacy that will be carried on in further years.

The development of the House in the InterHouse Competition stems from the high levels of diversity and participation of all students, as well as the focus on exceeding personal goals and endeavouring to give one’s best.

One of the few events involving whole House participation is the Cross Country in which

the House comes together and strives for a common goal. Placing first, for the third time in a row, pays homage to the perseverance and commitment of the students of Alexander.

As a result of a concentrated effort across all year groups in the House Singing Competition, we placed third with Shannon Noll’s “What About Me” Australian Idol hit. Furthermore, throughout the year the unremitting effort and discipline demonstrated by the students of Alexander resulted in us placing third in Marching, a goal long striven for within the House. The brief departure of the Year 12 cohort during mid-year exams led to the younger students rising to the challenge, winning Marching and Junior Basketball.

The House was never short of volunteers for House competitions or activities as there were many boys who capitalised on the array of opportunities that this system provides.

This demonstrated the high level of House ownership taken by the students.

The Alexander House culture lends an inexplicable feeling of belonging and leads to the formation of strong bonds that encourages others to exceed their own expectations.

71 HOUSE REPORTS

The development of the House in the Inter-House Competition stems from the high levels of diversity and participation of all students.

The vast improvement in Alexander’s placing in the Staff Trophy is recognition of the extreme level of dedication of all students, and the active involvement and leadership skills of the Alexander House Year 12s.

On that note I would like to thank the Year 12s for their alacrity, high level of independence and initiative throughout the year; I honestly could not ask for a higher calibre of gentlemen. I wish you all the best in the upcoming years and hope that you succeed in whatever path you take.

To the students of Alexander, thanks for the extraordinary year; every one of you is what makes this House great. Cherish the years ahead and I wish you the very best. To Mr Williams, I would like to thank you for your

72

time and guidance. To the House tutors, thank you for your contributions to the House; your presence is fundamental to the strong Tutor group sense of identity and fosters the warm atmosphere of Alexander House. Moreover, a big thank you must go out to all the parents for assisting in the setup of various activities and attending numerous events throughout the school year. I leave the House in capable hands with the new Year 12 group.

ANDERSON HOUSE 2016 flew by at a blistering pace. It was a year where school pride was at a peak, success came in all areas, and the sense of community at Scotch made everyone feel closer. Anderson House followed these trends and we found ourselves reaching new heights and developing a new attitude, one of commitment, dedication and excellence, whilst remaining true to our core tenets of family, respect and service.

The Staff Trophy Competition began with the Inter-House Swimming Carnival. The drive of the boys in Anderson House to succeed quickly became apparent as we placed a respectable fifth in a year where we had a little less raw swimming talent. We also found ourselves achieving excellence in the other two main InterHouse events of the year, Athletics and Cross Country. In Athletics, we placed seventh, three places higher than 2015 which is a testament to the motivation of the boys and their willingness to work hard to improve in all areas. Cross Country was a significant highlight for Anderson as we placed second in a very competitive year.

It showed the House what we were capable of and set the tone for the remainder of the year.

Throughout the year Anderson House consistently achieved solid results in almost every area. With participation and enthusiasm at an all-time high we placed strongly in Water Polo, Basketball, Theatre Sports, Surfing and It’s Academic. Notable highlights of the year

were a first place in senior Debating, second place in junior Indoor Soccer and third place in senior Chess. We had a lot of fun preparing our House Choir song, “Wonderwall” by Oasis, and our Marching saw significant progress throughout the year. We ended up with a strong sixth place in the Staff Trophy and this is a result that we are proud of and can build upon.

Anderson House also engaged in many extracurricular activities and service ventures.

We took part in the 50 Mile Walk, along with Stuart and Shearer, a truly demanding test of character. I was lucky enough to be able to walk a section with the Year 11 boys who all showed great determination, willpower and companionship. We placed strong emphasis on participating in Disabled Surfing events, a fantastic community service event, and also finished the year with a Wheelchair Basketball game against Brisbane House which raised much needed funds for Wheelchair Sports.

Throughout the year Anderson House consistently achieved solid results in almost every area.

75 HOUSE REPORTS

The mighty Swans of Anderson House lie in good hands in the years to come with a group of fine young men coming up the ranks.

In what I think was one of the more memorable years for Anderson House, there were many people that contributed to making everything run smoothly and enjoyably. Firstly, I’d like to thank Ms Evans, our House Head, who is so incredibly dependable and genuinely kind that it rubs off on every boy in the House; she made my job easier and made the community stronger. I’d also like to thank the Anderson House tutors for being so supportive and always encouraging us when it was needed.

Thanks also to the Anderson Year 12 cohort - it has been an absolute pleasure working with all of you. You have all left your mark on Anderson House and will be remembered in a positive light for years to come. In particular, thanks to

76

my Vice Captains Liam McKenzie and Chase Deitner, whose stellar leadership and genuine enthusiasm were to be admired and very much appreciated. I wish every Year 12 luck in your future endeavours.

The mighty Swans of Anderson House lie in good hands in the years to come with a group of fine young men coming up the ranks. To those boys, I ask that you always show pride in our House and remember our core tenets. I know that you will enjoy the time that you have left at Scotch College. It goes way too quickly!

BRISBANE HOUSE The absence of the 2015 Year 12 cohort left a large hole to be filled in Brisbane House as seventeen new Year 12s donned striped blazers and badges, nervous to step into their leadership roles.

Miss Webster-Blythe’s caring leadership soon quashed our apprehension as she embraced her first full year as Brisbane House Head.

She continued to implement her ideals for the House, including being caring and kind towards one another and expecting us to try our best.

Our year began with a promising fourth place in Water Polo followed by a disappointing ninth place in the Swimming Carnival, however, what we lacked in sporting results we made up for with artistic and academic talent. We saw strong results in Debating, It’s Academic and Chess.

The highlight of our Inter-House competition calendar was our victory in the senior Indoor Soccer, which boosted our morale.

Whilst we may have not been as successful as we would have liked, the concepts of giving it your all and camaraderie rang true. It was common to have boys from all year groups attending events and stepping forward to fill in for absentees. We consistently demonstrated a strong sense of sportsmanship and

consideration, despite some of the Year 12s being told to “contain their eagerness”.

The ‘Battle of the Red Tie’ competition established by the 2015 Leavers was continued and strengthened as we won our first competition in the It’s Academic tournament.

Brisbane is renowned for its Marching success, which continued throughout 2016. Marching is a display of discipline, cohesiveness and commitment; we were able to win three of the four terms of Marching fixtures.

We continued our traditional community service of tree planting. This year we planted at Lake Claremont in areas that had been depleted over recent years. Additionally we were involved in Helping Minds, where a handful of Brisbane boys spent a day at Scotch with kids from families facing unfortunate situations. The Year 12s also took on the Anderson Year 12s in Wheelchair Basketball to raise money for Wheelchair Sports WA. This proved to be fun, eye-opening and a successful fundraiser.

Marching is a display of discipline, cohesiveness and commitment; we were able to win three of the four terms of Marching fixtures.

79 HOUSE REPORTS

Over the past five years I have seen friendships grow and relationships with teachers and tutors develop.

A goal of mine this year was to introduce a Facebook page for the House. Whilst this has been achieved it is still early days and I hope this form of communication with parents can be utilised next year to further involve families, boys and the community.

I discovered this year that the House programme is more about having fun and being involved than winning. I honestly believe that the House system at Scotch is the perfect platform for boys to experiment with new ideas.

It has been the catalyst for my involvement beyond sporting and academic pursuits and I wholeheartedly encourage all boys to make the most of this opportunity.

Over the past five years I have seen friendships grow and relationships with teachers and tutors develop. The Year 12s have been through a lot together, from camps at Moray to Water Polo 80

and House Choir. The support and involvement from this group in meeting leadership expectations was exceptional. I believe we have kept Brisbane on its steady course and continued to guide it in the right direction.

I would like to thank Miss Webster-Blythe for all the time she puts into the House. A lot of her work is done behind the scenes and I have been fortunate enough to work alongside her for many stressful hours organising events.

It is incredible how much time and effort she puts into ensuring that all the boys in Brisbane are happy, comfortable and involved. I have no doubt that Brisbane is in very good hands with the new Year 12s and Miss WebsterBlythe and I am truly excited to see what they can achieve together.

CAMERON HOUSE Willing, excited and eager, the 2016 Year 12 cohort were ready to try and match, or surpass, the successes achieved by the previous House leadership team. The incoming Year 12s possessed an array of talent, allowing for an advantage in almost every area of the School.

Cameron House’s first venture into the Staff Trophy Competition was the Water Polo Competition. A difficult sport, not only to play but in its appeal, Cameron House managed to compete weekly for nearly a month, dodging the ferocious throws at goal being hurled by players on all teams. Truthfully, our team featured only two experienced Water Polo players and yet we only narrowly missed out on playing in the finals.

The term also saw the running of the annual Cameron House fundraising event. This year the Year 12s dedicated the fundraiser to raising awareness for breast cancer, a disease that sadly impacted the life of a fellow Cameron House student shortly before the event. Over 236 Scotch and PLC students dressed up with their Houses to compete in a Soccer tournament for glory and a much-desired trophy. Unfortunately, the completion of the tournament saw the departure of the trophy from the Scotch cabinets to the PLC girls in an exciting penalty shoot-out.

The New Year started off with Inter-House Swimming, an event that Cameron House has lacked strength in for the past several years.

However, the attendance and efforts of the boys across the year groups was outstanding, with several boys stepping up and swimming in races that were out of their comfort zone; they overcame the challenge and performed excellently. Cameron House’s efforts saw us finish in eighth place on the day. Autumn Term saw Cameron House get involved in an array of Staff Trophy events such as senior Chess, junior and senior Debating, and Cross Country where the boys ran their hearts out. In a surprising turn of events in Theatre Sports we received the dreaded blue parrot.

Autumn Term saw defeat and success for Cameron House in events such as 3v3 Basketball, junior Chess and a brilliant performance by the Cameron House boys in Inter-House Surfing. The Year 12s also embarked on the truly challenging task of sparking the interest of over 80 teenage boys

This year the Year 12s dedicated the fundraiser to raising awareness for breast cancer.

83 HOUSE REPORTS

The sight of the Year 9s giving it their absolute all gave me the utmost sense of pride and joy.

to sing the sweet sounds of Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling” in a cappella. On the day of the performances the boys seemed to gain a little bit of stage fright but in the end they sang really well.

The remainder of the year saw Cameron House place third in It’s Academic and compete strongly in Athletics. The sight of the Year 9s giving it their absolute all gave me the utmost sense of pride and joy, especially a particular 800m race where one of our Year 9s started the race in sixth place and pushed his way through to third place in the final lap. The entirety of the Cameron House Year 12s were somewhat ecstatic, cheering the student through to the finish line.

84

Of course the year would have not been nearly as successful or smooth if it weren’t for the efforts of the boys, the tutors and most of all Mr Gale. On behalf of all the boys, especially the Year 12s, I would like to thank Mr Gale for the tremendous amount of work and effort he puts into Cameron House, which has gained him the utmost respect of all the boys. The leaving Year 12s and myself wish Mr Gale, the tutors and all the boys, the best of luck for the year ahead.

You are in safe hands with your new leaders.

FERGUSON HOUSE 2016 has seen the Ferguson boys raise the bar to an even higher standard of performance, with the mighty Fergy Falcons claiming a respectable fourth place in the House Trophy. The House spirit and friendly banter has also been a strong and enjoyable feature of Ferguson House culture, with the addition of more Inter-Tutor activities.

Unfortunately, sometimes the culture that we pride ourselves on so heavily has caused us to lose House points, however, it was a loss we were prepared to accept to maintain our proud Ferguson culture of consistently placing in the lower order of the Marching results. While Ferguson’s Marching performance has almost become a running joke within the House, we were able to make up for it in other areas.

With the exception of Marching, Ferguson has placed respectably in both junior and senior, academic and sporting competitions. Wins in junior Indoor Soccer and junior Theatre Sports, and a second place in junior Chess shows the strength that the House has in its younger years across a range of disciplines.

Ferguson also showed prowess in the pool this year with commendable third placings in the Inter-House Swimming Carnival and Water Polo. Both junior and senior Debating teams proved to be strong with the senior boys taking

out second place and the junior team securing fourth position. A special mention must go to Ferguson’s senior Chess team for taking out equal first place, sharing the podium with Shearer House.

Unfortunately, Ferguson House was unable to maintain the trend of being a dominant force in House Choir this year, with our success summarised in our song lyrics, “one minute I held the key, next the walls closed on me”. We were awarded sixth place for our efforts.

Our Year 12 group was incredibly strong this year and I can confidently say that we have formed friendships which will extend beyond our schooling years. To all the boys whom I’ve had the privilege of sharing my experiences with over the past five years, thank you for making our time in Ferguson House an unforgettable experience. Good luck with your future endeavours and thank you for your support.

Our Year 12 group was incredibly strong this year and I can confidently say that we have formed friendships which will extend beyond our schooling years.

Mr Foster brings a sense of humour to the House which is unmatched, and provides a sense of caring and belonging.

To Ferguson’s incoming Year 12s, all the best for your studies in 2017 and beyond; you are all very capable leaders and are sure to lead Ferguson House to an even better year in 2017.

To the rest of the boys in the House, before you know it your time in Ferguson House will be up so take every opportunity to make an impact in the House, and enjoy every moment with the other boys who pull on the brown shirt to represent our House.

A huge thank you must be given to all of Ferguson’s tutors: Mr Michael Neave, Mr Matt Jahn, Mr Steve McLean, Mrs Jude de Vorms Shaw, Ms Shirin Reyhani and Ms Cara Fugill.

You ensure our Tutor periods are never dull and

you are always ready to offer assistance to any boy who needs help with school work, or to converse with those who want a friendly chat.

Lastly, a sincere thanks and congratulations to Mr Ryan Foster for completing his first year in Ferguson House as House Head.

KEYS HOUSE This year started in a vastly different way from previous years, with Keys House changing to become a day House. It did not take long for all members to adjust and add to the successful legacy Keys has. Highlights included a gritty Athletics win and a back-to-back victory in the House Singing competition.

Despite an early sense of segregation as the House proceeded into its first year with day students, boys forged relationships that continued to uphold the purple spirit. These bonds made the first year of the transition period somewhat easier, as students were able to seek each other out for guidance and encouragement.

The Year 9s embarked on their Mount Barker and Bluff Knoll trek, as Mr David Kyle sought an opportunity to unify the group and explain the sense of pride that Keys endorses. He also explained how Bluff Knoll, with its peaks and valleys, is symbolic of the Senior School journey.

A seventh place at the Inter-School Swimming Carnival reflected the combined ‘barley growers’ and ‘gnarly goers’ efforts in the pool.

This effort and commitment was sustained over the whole year and witnessed in all Staff Trophy events, particularly Cross Country and It’s Academic. Whether it was in the classroom

or on the gymnasium floor, Keys were extremely competitive. The most pleasing aspect to witness, however, was the support and drive the non-competing students offered. In what was an extremely successful year, coming runner-up in the Staff Trophy exemplifies the true Keys House spirit.

Keys started preparations early for the House Singing competition, as we aimed to be backto-back winners. “Fire and the Flood” (Vance Joy) was the song of choice, though it seemed impossible to sing, testing our lyrical talents and musical prowess. Subtle tweaks and alterations improved the harmony as we eventually became synchronised. With the assistance of Mr Richard Foster, we narrowly defeated the well-oiled Ferguson and Alexander choirs to take the chocolates.

With a, once again, wet start to the Inter-House Athletics Carnival, the Keys boys displayed a gallant effort on the track and field to be in the leading position overnight. Each and every

lad put their best foot forward to ensure that Keys would be in a dominant position at the end of the day two and, to their credit, this was the case. The Tug of War was a sight not to be missed as the Keys Year 12s provided a commanding display against a powerful Cameron outfit. The day was later capped off with a slick Marching performance, meaning Keys had prevailed with the trifecta. All in all, it was a remarkable day as it was the tenth consecutive triumph for Keys.

The year’s motto, ‘Stand united’, is one that Keys House epitomised throughout 2016.

Each and every member of the House ensured standards were kept at an optimum level, as dress codes and manners reflected

what it meant to be a Senior School student in Keys House.

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the members of Keys House who made the year extraordinary. It continues to foster great relationships, whereby all students have become united. On behalf of the Keys House students, I would like to acknowledge the extensive work Mr David Kyle has done for all of us, allowing us all to fulfil 2016’s goals.

I wish everyone the very best for the future, and I am certain there is so much more to be written in the Keys House story.

ROSS HOUSE Incredibly intelligent, athletically capable, and rich in pride and passion are some of the many defining features of Ross House and the gentlemen that represent the wreath. There was no denying our prominent presence this year, achieving success in many aspects of College life.

A new year brings change, and this year the Year 12s introduced a new theme to Ross, ‘Spem Successus Alit’ (success nourishes hope), from the official coat of arms of the Ross Clan in Scotland in an attempt to create a legacy within the House.

We also earned a fantastic third place in the Athletics Carnival and junior Indoor Soccer, and a well-deserved fourth in the Swimming Carnival. These were certainly highlights of the year and they reinforced our theme by giving the boys a real boost.

This year has been unforgettable. From devoting copious amounts of time to community service, to embracing academic talent in the House and owning the sporting field, Ross House has made its orange burn in 2016. From the fine leadership of the Year 12s to the unabated ambitions of the Year 9s, 2016 has become one to remember.

One of the greatest aspects about being a part of Ross is the Inter-Tutor Competition, a competitive yet affable battle to claim the prestigious Tutor Cup, which was shared between the Gooding and Whitely/Scott Tutors this year. Nevertheless, the Tutor Cup is more than just a trophy, it’s about bringing boys in all year groups closer together, working as a collective and learning about the diverse talents in our House. Communication, teamwork and camaraderie were all tested in events that included: Dodgeball, Indoor Soccer, a quiz, an art competition and the ‘Rosscars’ media awards. This is a great tradition in the House and I hope to see it continue with new and more exciting events.

As far as the Staff Trophy is concerned, we would have liked to do better than sixth place, however, we look to balance results with giving opportunities to boys to try new things. Having said that, we achieved an amazing first place in junior Debating and came a respectable second in both House Choir and It’s Academic.

Tutor Cup is more than just a trophy, it’s about bringing boys in all year groups closer together.

95 HOUSE REPORTS

Your collective leadership, tireless devotion and love for the House has made the journey so much greater than I expected.

Ross House continued another tradition, the Swimathon, in which boys take the time out of their day on a Sunday to swim as many laps as possible, earning money per lap from sponsors.

It’s truly one of the greatest acts of service in Ross; we collectively raised over $5000 for the WA Cancer Council.

Marching was not our strong suit this year and, although we did have our share of first places, it needs to become more consistent. However, I’d rather not dwell on the minor weaknesses and instead offer some advice to the incoming Year 12s. Firstly, fix Marching; discipline is key.

Secondly, don’t be afraid to start your own tradition. Lastly, make 2017 your year; change Ross for the better, mark your name on the wreath, be proud of your achievements and don’t let your shortcomings stop you from reaching success.

96

To the rest of the boys, enjoy the time you have in Ross, as it will leave you all with great memories and friendships. To the tutors, thank you all for the time and effort you put into the House. To Mr Owenell, Ross couldn’t have asked for a better House Head; your positive spirit, inspiring courage and quality banter really brightens up the House and makes all the boys feel more welcome.

Finally, to the leaving Year 12s, my mates, my brothers, my boys, thank you for the last five years. Your collective leadership, tireless devotion and love for the House has made the journey so much greater than I expected.

ST ANDREWS HOUSE For five years the 2016 St Andrews leaving class has taken immense pride in donning the dark blue.

Memories from those years are countless, as each boy has thrived under the comfortable environment created in St Andrews House.

This year was the first in the House’s long history where a vertical tutor group-system was adopted, mixing boys from every year group together. Despite the Year 12s suffering withdrawal symptoms from leaving their beloved tutor group with Mr Edwards, the new system provided opportunities for students from various year groups to interact and form strong friendships with one another.

As a whole, St Andrews adopted the concept of servant leadership and really thrived under the responsibility we were given. Matthew Todd and Edward Powley were instrumental as Vice Captains and Lewis Daisley was a key member of the leadership team as our Student Council Representative. Everyone in the Year 12 cohort was simply outstanding when it came to taking on their portfolios and getting involved in every opportunity, regardless of whether they had a formal leadership responsibility or not.

Our performance in the House Trophy standings was not a true reflection of how good our year truly was. Our emphasis from the beginning, as

a collective Year 12 group, was on participation and enjoyment. We aimed to involve every boy in the House as much as possible and create an enjoyable environment.

These characteristics shone through in our House Choir performance of Owl City’s “Fireflies”. This was a ballad which truly moved the audience. Despite screams from the crowd for an encore the boys finished seventh. The booming voices of Ben Mahon and Lewis Bollands must be given particular mention as they shone above and beyond the rest.

The annual St Andrews Fun Run went off without a hitch and was a great success as participation and funds raised remained high.

This run is roughly 11 kilometres around the beautiful scenery of Kings Park; this may seem a significant distance, however, athletes such as Jacob Mann eased their way through without breaking a sweat.

Our Marching improved as the year progressed despite a lack of results in the placings, as

The annual St Andrews Fun Run went off without a hitch and was a great success as participation and funds raised remained high.

99 HOUSE REPORTS

I encourage you to get involved in every activity you can within the House as these will form your best memories and friendships. we consistently finished between fourth and seventh. This consistency shone through in all other events however, most importantly, involvement and enjoyment were extremely high. The closest we came to a win in a House activity was senior Indoor Soccer where the team lost in a gruelling penalty shootout in the final to Brisbane House; when a penalty shot went wide the boys knew the dream was over. Abraham Potter and Joshua Williams gave standout performances throughout this competition.

To the younger boys of St Andrews, including 2017 House Captain Callum Jacobsen, I wish you all the best. I encourage you to get involved in every activity you can within the House as these will form your best memories and friendships.

100

A massive thank you must go to the tutors of St Andrews House: Mr Edwards, Ms Fletcher, Mr Creighton, Mr Newman, Mr Gabriels and Ms Mochrie. Another big thank you goes to Mr Doney who has been an infinite source of wisdom and humour throughout our years in St Andrews.

To the Leaving Year 12s, I thank you for being such a good group of mates, leaders and peers as we have travelled through our final schooling days; personally I can say it was a privilege to get to know each of you so well. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and hopefully we can catch up regularly.

SHEARER HOUSE The ‘baton’ was successfully passed on in 2016 as the boys in grey won the Staff Trophy for the third year in a row and for the fourth time in the House’s history.

This year saw excellent participation and spirit, and the 2016 School theme of ‘Stand united’ was evident in Shearer House.

The year started with a bang and a 37-point victory in the Swimming Carnival over Stuart House in second. Multiple stand-out performances from all year groups contributed to the House’s victory, however, a special mention has to be made of the open relay team for breaking the School record every year since Year 8. These performances not only saw Shearer experience its first ever Swimming Carnival victory, but with the new boarding system Sam McConachy became the first boarder to ever taste victory in the pool.

Shearer’s prowess in the water continued with victories in Water Polo and Surfing. The House’s versatility was also on display, placing competitively in academic competitions such as Debating and It’s Academic, as well as taking out another first in the senior Chess Competition.

The House also improved on many of its results from previous years. At the start of the year I remember joking about winning House Marching. Funnily enough, this joke became a reality as we placed first in Semester 1, and second in Semester 2. This was a real testament to boys’ discipline, work ethic and commitment.

Whilst being able to taking things seriously and work hard, it was great to see Shearer could still have fun and enjoy the year. This was evident in the House Choir, historically Shearer’s bogey event. This year the boys performed The Village People’s “YMCA”. With all the Year 12s dressing up in very convincing costumes the whole House enjoyed themselves and emanated the House’s spirit; it was definitely one of my highlights of the year. Unfortunately, we were not able to perform at assembly, just missing out on finals by finishing fourth.

Multiple stand-out performances from all year groups contributed to the House’s victory.

103 HOUSE REPORTS

It is safe to say this cohort has left its mark on Shearer House and I wish you the very best for the years to come.

I believe that the last events of the year truly summed up Shearer as a whole. First we had our Shearer House function in which all the boys came together and bonded as they battled for the Shearer House Tutor Trophy. Then, the final event of the year saw Shearer House fight through two long days at the Athletics Carnival. Every boy gave 100% and had fun whilst coming from behind to finish in a very respectable second place.

On behalf of Shearer House, I would like to thank all the tutors that made this year such a success. I would also like to thank Mr Galipo for the dedication, belief and support that he gives every boy, allowing everyone to reach their full potential. With the new leadership system, I would also like to thank Student

104

Council Representative Gus Macleod, and Vice Captains Hugo Coulson and Harry Burrell, for their efforts this year to make Shearer the great House it is. I wish the best of luck to all of Shearer House next year, in their pursuit of a fourth Staff Trophy in as many years.

Finally, I would like to thank every Shearer House Year 12 who did an outstanding job serving the House proudly. Since 2012 I have shared many great experiences with you all and the success of 2016, as leaders of the House, has been a great way to top off our time in Shearer. It is safe to say this cohort has left its mark on Shearer House and I wish you the very best for the years to come.

STUART HOUSE In 2016, Stuart House maintained its formidable reputation in the Inter-House Swimming Carnival with a stellar performance. Although finishing a close second, Stuart cemented itself as a force to be reckoned with and our success provided a slingshot into the year ahead.

The camaraderie displayed amongst the Stuart boys was also an indicator of progress towards the Year 12 theme ‘Stand united’, as the stags came together to engage in House chanting and showed support for those competing. Our strength in the water was also on display in the Water Polo as boys of all ages flocked together to represent the House, finishing a narrow second in a tight final.

Stuart maintained its strong performances in early Inter-House activities as the focus shifted from the pool to the Debating arena.

Receiving finals placing in both the senior and junior Debating, the dominance of Debating Co-Captains Charles Barblett and Charlie Mills, accompanied by Year 10s Rafe Harrison-Murray and Harry Penrose, was displayed for all to see. Stuart’s noticeable academic depth was reinforced as It’s Academic rolled around; the team seized victory in a tense final.

The long list of Stuart victories rolled onwards as Theatre Sports began, allowing those boys

lucky enough to be talented Drama students to shine, with the support of others like myself who spectated. Stuart House was able to put on a clinic, sealing the victory in the senior competition and securing a bronze in the juniors.

Whilst all of the Inter-House competitions were controlled by the House calendar, the Stuart boys would display their Marching ability every Friday. After achieving a commendable third place in the Semester 1, Stuart’s performances fluctuated. Although the House placed third one week and ninth the next, the entire House demonstrated determination. The Year 10 boys also reportedly showed great leadership as they stepped up to lead mid-year.

These successful performances were accompanied by achievement in the sporting arena. Although the House didn’t perform at its best in the Cross Country, a remarkable effort from Connor Enslin must be recognised as he stormed to victory in the Year 10 event. Charlie

Stuart’s noticeable academic depth was reinforced as It’s Academic rolled around; the team seized victory in a tense final.

107 HOUSE REPORTS

The energy that Mr Andrews brings to House periods and Stuart events is a focal point of the House’s culture.

Castleden backed this up in the junior Surfing as he clinched a victory over tough competition.

With the senior Indoor Soccer team narrowly missing out on finals and the juniors losing an agonising penalty shootout, we were sadly unable to back up the dominant victory of the previous senior cohort.

Throughout 2016, the ‘Battle of the Red Ties’ between Stuart and Brisbane continued.

Although suffering a defeat in the Dodgeball, Stuart bounced back to claim victory in the junior Debating, rightfully reclaiming our trophy.

A point that would be widely agreed upon is that one of the House’s greatest assets is its charismatic leader, Mr Bennet Andrews. Mr Andrews provided a warm welcome to the Year 9s as they began their Senior School adventure, solidifying them as part of the House and its daily operations. The energy that Mr Andrews 108

brings to House periods and Stuart events is a focal point of the House’s culture.

Although it was a difficult task to follow in the footsteps of Captain Robbie Packer, Stuart House has flourished. With boys participating in academic competitions at Stanford, playing in the Pipe Band every Friday, representatives participating in almost every First sporting team and five boys taking on the rigorous 50 Mile Walk, the level of involvement and motivation to achieve has set a high benchmark. I wish 2017 House Captain Toby O’Keeffe and his leadership team all the best in their roles, which I am certain they will complete proficiently and proudly. I would like to thank the House’s boys and staff once again for making 2016 such a memorable and successful year.

RES IDE N T I A L L I FE

111

DIRECTOR OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE

This was the beginning of a new era in Residential Life with Keys House officially accepting day boys into Year 9. David Kyle took over as the House Head and Tom Gooch as the Keys House Captain. Their primary role was to look after all the day school activities whilst Flynn Taylor became the trailblazer for Residential Life by becoming its first Captain. Along with the Residential Student Council, Flynn was charged with leading and providing a voice for the boys in Residential Life.

Now that the Year 7s and 8s are permanently in the Middle School, and no longer in Keys House, and the Year 9s have been distributed across the ten Houses, our challenge was to make sure the spirit of Keys House continued to live on within the Residential Community.

The 2015 Residential Council made sure that we had a platform to launch from when they established the Highlanders. The Highlanders are six groups (like the Houses in the Day Schools) where all our boys from Year 7 to 12 have been allocated. The purpose behind these groups is to encourage vertical integration as well as creating opportunities for competition.

The Highlanders were named after famous Scottish battles; Auldearn, Bannockburn, Culloden, Falkirk, Glencoe and Killicrankie.

The 2016 Residential Council certainly continued the momentum of 2015 by organising soccer, slatterball and tug of war battles, while we also celebrated many meals where the highlanders sat and ate together.

So far, it has been a smooth transition and we expect the leadership team of 2017 to continue to develop the Highlander concept.

Our Wellbeing programme is slowly taking shape with this year’s three main objectives

112

being to change the way our boys sign up for recreation activities, investigate ways that we can improve our new boys’ transition in to Residential Life and to introduce year group activities that are going to help prepare our boys for life after Scotch.

All of our recreation activities are now advertised within an electronic calendar and the boys can sign up (and withdraw themselves) through this portal. The calendar is published a term in advance giving the boys ample opportunity to sign up for the events.

Our orientation for new residential boys into the College for 2017 changed in that we held a sleepover weekend in early October. We also launched our Welcome to Scotch College (WTSC) Programme. The WTSC programme is a six-week interactive course that has all boys connecting in, via the internet, once a week with Richard Ledger. The aim of the programme is to try and alleviate the anxiety and stress that so many boys and families undergo prior to commencing within the Residential Community. Through this programme we feel that the boys will get to know each other, will meet staff who will be working with them and

be introduced to the types of hardware and software that we use in our everyday lives here at Scotch.

In each year group, we have also tried to add an activity that is moving towards preparing our boys for life outside Scotch; Year 7/8 Manners evening: Our boys join with the girls from St Mary’s to partake in a dinner event that is aimed at teaching them the formal aspects of dining. The students are guided through the evening getting know what each piece of cutlery is for, which side dish and glass is theirs to use as well as when and how they are supposed to eat.

Our Year 9s have been involved in a Martial Arts course aimed at developing their patience and discipline and will next year act as buddies for our new Year 7 and 8 boys.

They sent the boys short videos introducing themselves and welcoming them to Scotch.

The Year 10s have undergone a Keys for Life Driver Education course which was an 8 week programme aimed at better preparing our boys for when they obtain their learners permit. The course culminates in the boys sitting the learners theory test and if they

pass that (and complete the assigned booklet) they receive a certificate that allows them to walk in and collect their learners permit as soon as they turn 16, without having to complete the regular formalities.

Year 7 and 8: Study Skills Kick Start and Junior Time Management

The Year 11s participated in the PARTY programme organised by Royal Perth Hospital. This programme takes the boys on a tour through the Emergency, Trauma, Spinal and Rehabilitation wards of the hospital as a process to educate the boys on the consequences of poor decision making and the end results of risk taking behaviour.

Year 11: Ace Your Exams

Year 9: Memory and Mnemonics Year 10: Path of the Study Sensai

Year 12: Student Elevation and Finishing Line These programmes all focus on the skills of note taking, developing a study routine, goal setting, working smart and effective studying.

Of course, we also still have our regular tutoring system up and running in the Year 9 and Year 10 to 12 houses and we would like to thank all of the Middle School Teachers who used their co-curricular time to assist with tutoring in the Year 7 and 8 house.

In each year group, we have also tried to add an activity that is moving towards preparing our boys for life outside Scotch Our Year 12s enjoyed three weeks of expert cooking classes presented by chef Paul Bailey and walked away with some easy recipes for the boys to use when they leave school.

Our Academic programme continues to flourish as throughout this year we have been adding to what we had commenced last year. We continue to use Elevate Education Australia to conduct specialised sessions within each year group with the programme following the path below;

Unfortunately, there is so much that happens within a year in the Residential Community that it is hard to fit everything into the one report, but all that is achieved would not be possible if not for the highly committed staff that we have and quality of our boys. There are many opportunities available for the boys to involve themselves in and for the majority of the time they grasp these eagerly.

CAPTAIN OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE Captain of Residential Life was a newly created role this year as Keys House began its transition into a day House and boarders were integrated with day boys in the adjusted House system.

As the Residential Community was now separated from Keys House, it gave us the opportunity to organise more boardingrelated activities including traversing the Bibbulmun Track, Highlander Games, fundraising events and recreational outings.

The introduction of the Highlander Groups (Killicrankie, Glencoe, Culloden, Bannockburn, Falkirk and Auldern) led to an increase in competitive opportunities as we pursued the Highlander Cup. Outdoor Soccer, Slatterball, Tug of War, Cricket matches and quiz nights all took place throughout the year. In the end Bannockburn ‘took the chocolates’, narrowly defeating Glencoe. The introduction of the Highlander Groups was a perfect platform for encouraging the mixing of the younger and older year groups, creating a tighter and stronger community of young men. I hope in the future that this event will continue to grow and become an integral part of Residential Life.

Once again boarders from Years 8-12 had the opportunity to take part in the rigorous yet fulfilling experience of walking the Bibbulmun Track. Twelve Year 12 boys completed it this year, walking into Albany to the moving sounds of the bagpipes on a cool afternoon in March. I was a part of this group and I strongly encourage all boys to continue with the Track; although it’s difficult and uncomfortable, the enjoyment and memories I gained from the experience are something I will never forget and I know I will continue to value them highly in the future. I have to thank the Outdoor Education staff for this opportunity as our

completion is reflective of their hard work, organisation and commitment.

We’ve participated in numerous social events this year including the newly created annual PLC/Scotch Boarders’ Ball. This was a great event for Years 11 and 12 boarders from PLC and Scotch to invite a date and have a dance under the moonlight, giving us a chance to unwind after a stressful exam period. Socials are always popular among the younger year groups; Scotch hosted several this year which gave the boys the opportunity to mix with fellow boarders from neighbouring schools.

Our fundraising events included the Staff vs Year 12 Cricket Match, which played out earlier this year. It was a competitive match with lots of friendly on-field chatter and all members of the House came down to the ovals to watch the fiery battle. The staff comfortably came out on top, winning by about 100 runs. Afterwards, a special dinner and snacks was put on for the boys who were involved during the day.

The eighth annual SPIRIT Award, in honour of Lachie Higham, was presented at a special Keys House dinner. Thank you to Tim and Chris Higham and their youngest daughter Daisy for attending the evening and reminding us of the characteristics of SPIRIT; Sparkle, Passion, Imagination, Resilience, Integrity and Tenacity. There were several nominees who exhibited these traits within the Residential Community this year and I congratulate Lachlan Stokes for being awarded the SPIRIT Award for 2016.

For the first time this year, a team of Year 12 boarders worked together with the staff to organise an Agricultural Day. Shearing demonstrations, tyre throwing, regional displays, a succulent lamb on the spit and many more activities were on display. This event gave the day boys an insight into country life and highlighted the importance of farmers and regional businesses. The day was a great success and the funds raised were donated to Beyond Blue and the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund to provide assistance to those affected by the Yarloop bushfire. These funds will benefit rural populations and businesses within Western Australia. The Agricultural Day is now going to be an annual event, organised by the Year 12 boarding group, and I wish them the best of luck for next year.

Over the course of 2016 there have been many challenges due to the changes within the Residential Community, however, with the help of the Boarders Council and the staff I believe we have successfully established a good platform for the next year’s leaders.

I wish the 2017 leaders the best of luck and I’m confident that the Residential Community will continue to become a stronger band of brothers than ever before.

RESIDENTIAL STUDENT COUNCIL Scotch hosted many social events this year, allowing all the boys to mingle with their fellow boarders and relax during their busy school schedule.

Over the course of 2015 and 2016 the strong band of brothers within the Residential Community have participated in many events relating to fundraising, academic and recreational activities through the guidance of the new Residential Student Council.

Due to the new changes with Keys House incorporating day-boys, the Residential Student Council structure changed: this started with the introduction of six Highlander Groups.

These groups allowed the council to organise competitions such as Staff cricket, Outdoor Soccer, Quiz Nights, Tug of War and Slatterball which all the boys took part in. In the end the Highlander Group Bannockburn took the chocolates, claiming the famous trophy. The Year 11/12 PLC and Scotch Boarders Ball also occurred in early June, which gave the Council a perfect opportunity to work with the PLC Boarders, to create a night full of fun, joy and lots of dancing. Scotch hosted many social events this year, allowing all the boys to mingle 116

with their fellow boarders and relax during their busy school schedule.

Over the course of the year there have been many challenging issues which have faced the Residential Student Council, however, with the aid of the fellow council members and staff, I believe the residential family has grown closer together as one and continued to uphold the strong and successful traditions. I wish the best to the future Residential Student Council and the continual growth of the strong band of brothers.

“My experience as a Cadet Instructor showed me that not only are we preparing boys for life, but gentlemen for the world. The range and level of the activities that the Cadets experience gives them confidence, a sense of community, and camaraderie that few other clubs could offer.

The Cadets leave with qualifications such as their first aid certificate, recreational skipper’s ticket and open water diver certificate, which can be used for future volunteering, as well as looking great on their CVs. Watching the students grow and develop through the year has been a pleasure; students went from fumbling with poles and guy ropes on the first camp, to mastering a range of camp and field craft skills in successive camps. During the Year

My experience as a Cadet Instructor showed me that not only are we preparing boys for life, but gentlemen for the world.

I asked her to share her experience in the programme and reflect upon the extent to which she felt the Cadet experience contributed to ‘Preparing boys for Life’.

Howard Loosemore Unit Leader ESC

9 bushwalking camp I watched over the days as they came together, originally walking solo or in pairs, before forming two groups and eventually, on the last day, all walking together as a pack.

To see people uniting together and the most unexpected friendships forming, is what really makes Cadets special for me. The support and encouragement they give one another, and even myself, as they experience activities out of their comfort zones is incredible; there is no way I would have abseiled down a 75m wall in a Kalbarri gorge if it hadn’t been for Max Locke’s fearless attitude. The students may leave Cadets with certificates and a greater sense of confidence, however, they will also leave with great friends and memories that will last them a lifetime.”

CHESS 2016 has been a year of success and growth for the Scotch College Chess Club. The Chess Club runs various Inter-House and School competitions, and is involved in several Inter-School competitions throughout the year.

The junior and senior Inter-House Chess Competitions have again proved to be a great source of entertainment and rivalry amongst the Houses. The normally controlled Chess room became an overwhelming mess of boys shouting in victory or weeping in defeat.

This year the junior Chess winners included Cameron (first), Ferguson (second) and St Andrews (third). The final result for the seniors was tie for first between Shearer and Ferguson.

The Chess team can be happy with their success in the Inter-School competitions this year. Scotch hosted the Four Schools Chess Tournament with the aid of the PA, who helped fund 24 new chess clocks. The various mind games employed by the Scotch team, such as the exceedingly long first move, were to little avail as we had to graciously admit defeat and placed second behind the strong Christ Church team. The team consisted of Tom Krantz (Year 11 Ferguson), Bailey Vanderzanden (Year 11 Ferguson), Luke Henderson (Year 11 Ferguson), Lewis Weeda (Year 11 Shearer), Lewis Orr (Year 9 Ferguson), Darcy Frazer (Year 10 Ferguson), Bailey Flecker (Year 10 St Andrews), and Yuelin Shen (Year 11 Brisbane).

Similar results were gained in the PSA Tournament hosted at Christ Church. The team of Tom Krantz, Luke Henderson, Lewis Weeda, Bailey Vanderzanden and Darcy Frazer battled hard and again came second to Christ Church.

For the first time, the team took part in the Leeming Senior High School Inter-School Chess Tournament. Here we had great success, placing first with the top four players being Darcy Fraser, Tom Krantz, Bailey van der Zanden and Lewis Weeda.

This year of Chess would not have been possible without the unwavering support and guidance of Mr Newman, the Head of Chess.

Mr Newman embodies the cheerful and positive attitude of the Chess Club and I can confidently say that we all look up to him. The future of the Chess Club looks bright as there were no Year 12 players and many strong Years 9, 10 and 11 players this year. This means that the success we had this year can only grow as we learn more.

“Chess is a good representation of life. If you’re a bad sport, it can show up at the chessboard.”

DEBATING Scotch College has showcased an outstanding commitment to the Debating programme in 2016, with over 100 boys from Years 7 to 12 competing in the WADL, AHISA and BP competitions.

120

All boys exhibited diligence and commitment to the programme and I have been immensely proud of their tireless work in the weekly training sessions and debates, which were completed with a great degree of success.

and success. Special thanks also go to the three Year 12 students who volunteered to undertake the coaching of a Novice team this season: James Naylor-Pratt, Zachary Jones and myself.

In WADL, Scotch was proud to display a high standard of debating in a breadth of teams, with a total of 23 teams over the six year groups. Seniors 3 and 4, coached by Mrs McCowan and Mrs Scaife, made it to the Preliminary Finals as wildcards. Two Junior teams won their division with Junior 4, coached

by Mr Sterrett, advancing to the Octo-Finals.

Junior 11, coached by Mrs Scaife, was able to successfully make it to the Semi-Finals.

I would also like to extend my thanks to the Senior boys who have aided me in the 2016 Captaincy and supported the participating students. The utmost thanks must go to Ms Gooding, Head of Debating, who puts an immeasurable amount of effort into developing Debating, to ensure that it remains a central aspect of Scotch’s co-curricular programme.

In AHISA, Scotch fielded three teams, with Junior 1, coached by Mrs Scaife, winning their division. Finally, we had two Year 10 teams take up the opportunity to extend their skills in the BP competition. These teams are a testament to the strength of Scotch’s Debating programme and we commend their achievements.

I would like to thank all debaters for their participation in the programme, and would encourage all boys to take a chance and get involved. I am grateful for the impact of Debating on my life, as I am sure all of the Year 12 debaters are. I extend my good wishes to the 2017 Senior boys, including Captain Bailey van der Zanden and Vice-Captain Kartik Khanna.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH’S INTERNATIONAL AWARD The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a scheme that was set up in England by Kurt Hahn and Prince Phillip in 1956.

Hahn believe that young men at the time were lacking in physical fitness, initiative and enterprise, care and skill, and a willingness and ability to be of service. It has taken many different forms throughout its time including the Gordonstoun Award, the Moray Badge, the County Badge, the Outward Bound Award and finally, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. This award then recognised females two years later and has had millions of recipients some 60 years later. Interestingly, Hahn also started the Round Square organisation of which Scotch College is also a member.

The Award recognises those people who decide that they are willing to go above and beyond to better themselves and the community they live in. It is recognised throughout the world, showing commitment and resilience with an attitude of hard work and leadership.

Of particular note this year at Scotch College is the awarding of the Gold Award to two of our 2015 leavers: Graeme Stewart (Shearer House) and Tim Andrew (Ross House) were recently awarded their Gold badges from the Governor, Her Excellency the Honourable Kerry Sanderson AC, Governor of Western Australia.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a scheme that benefits all young men for their future, whether it is gaining entry to a tertiary institution or gaining a job they have their heart set on.

Congratulations to all those boys who have achieved an Award and to those in the process, keep it up.

INSTEP By completing these courses, students are considered favourably for apprenticeships or enrolment for further training at TAFE. INSTEP in 2016 has continued to provide a valuable pathway for our students to gain experience in the trade/service industry. This year students have completed a variety of work placements including electrical, plumbing, mechanics, teacher’s assistant, aquaculture, avionics, carpentry, food preparation and retail.

Students who demonstrate an outstanding level of enthusiasm and motivation in the workplace are recognised for their efforts and are awarded Gold Status. Gold Status also reflects a student’s exceptional diligence in meeting all of the programme requirements. This year, seven students have been awarded Gold Status for excellence in the workplace. They are Jacob Lane, Todd Retallack and Braden Retallack (Year 12 Keys House), and Jaimon Alone, Luke Gollan, Tremayne Green and Roko Radman, (Year 11 Keys House).

While most of the INSTEP students attended work placements each week, a larger number of students in both Years 11 and 12 are enrolling

in certificate courses with VET providers, which enables them to complete a certificate course in their chosen industry area. This year we had 22 students, our largest group ever, complete the Certificate IV in Business course. This qualification provides students with an alternative entry pathway to some universities besides the traditional ATAR score. We also had two students complete a Certificate II in Marine Operations (Coxswain) and one student complete a Certificate II in Process Plant Operations. By completing these courses, students are considered favourably for apprenticeships or enrolment for further training at TAFE. Thanks to the many businesses that host our students and the hard working team from INSTEPWEST, the INSTEP pathway continues to provide students with suitable experiences that help the boys decide what career to pursue.

Future Footprints, run by AISWA, has five main events. Early in Summer Term, the annual Welcome to Country is held in Kings Park. A Wadjuk Noongar Elder welcomes the indigenous boarding students from across Western Australia to their land. Local Indigenous dance groups perform for the students and then invite students to join the performance. The students are then able to reconnect over lunch. During Reconciliation Week the Black and White social is held; this year it was hosted by Guildford Grammar School. At the end of Autumn Term, UWA Business School combines with Woodside to host a Career Expo. St Brigid’s hosted the Graduation Dinner in Winter Term and we went back to Guildford Grammar School to watch Sean Choolburra for the Comedy Night.

Indigenous students attend orientation days and other events for their scholarship providers throughout the year. For some, this meant travelling interstate.

On May 26, Reconciliation Australia ran a Sorry Day event in Wellington Square. A majority of the Indigenous boys attended and participated in a range of cultural activities.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Scotch College embraces the opportunity to share Indigenous culture with its non-Indigenous community, including staff and students from Pre-Primary to Year 12.

In 2016, staff attended four cultural infusion sessions including Bush Tucker Tasting, Art, Noongar Culture and Stolen Generation Stories.

The NAIDOC events for the whole school began the following week on Saturday, 30 July, with the inaugural PSA Indigenous Rugby match against Guildford Grammar School, an initiative of Lachlan Phillips for his Personal Project. The following week was busy across all sub schools with a variety of art, cooking, boomerang throwing and a traditional performance by Folau Penaia and Jonus Williams. The week culminated with the Yira Yarkiny Concert, which included a fantastic performance by Gina Williams and guest speaker Kamsani Bin Salleh, OSC 2010.

LIBRARY The role of the library at Scotch has undergone significant transformation over the last three years. At its core, the library is an information and service provider that aims to meet the needs of all members of our community. It is timely that, given world events, we are also reminded that information can be presented in many different ways. The library team work tirelessly to ensure that our students always have access to accurate and credible resources.

This year the Senior School library has seen a dramatic increase in its use as a venue: we have been hosting Personal Project supervisor meetings so that the supervisors are easily accessible in a central location; a number of professional development courses for staff have

presidential race; the Syrian refugee crisis; the ‘Brexit’ referendum; the terror attacks throughout Europe; the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement; and the summer Olympics. The final stage of this project is the roll-out of a customised audio app, Audio Everywhere, which will allow anyone in the School to listen to the channels being broadcast.

In the Middle School library, research guides and eBooks played a bigger part in resourcing the research and recreational reading needs of our students. The existing Thinkers and Tinkers Club was enhanced by two Year 11 boys providing guidance and new ideas, and our new Creative Writing Club enabled some budding writers to practise and publish their craft.

Mrs Lightfoot left midyear on maternity leave and was replaced by Ms Grech. During Book Week Martin Chatterton, author and illustrator, visited Year 6 students and did a number of humorous illustrations, whilst WA author Norm Jorgensen visited Year 7s and encouraged them to become published authors.

The role of the library at Scotch has undergone significant transformation over the last three years. taken place; Years 2 and 12 students read their favourite books to each other; Middle School and Senior School students worked together to prepare for the Philosothon and World Scholar’s Cup; and Year 12 Mathematics revision seminars were conducted.

The addition of our international mindedness media wall has allowed us to observe and track important global issues: the American

Games were reorganised and a renovated reading area created. A permanent Top 20 display of the best fiction found a home in the old games’ shelves, with the promotion of ‘must reads’ being the first port-of-call for boys not sure where to start. Ensuring our boys have maximum access to resources

has been enhanced by the fantastic resource sharing with the Senior School library and PLC library.

The Junior School boys visit the library fortnightly and the focus during this time is on developing a strong appreciation of literature and being exposed to, and encouraged to read from, a variety of genres.

During the year we also hosted two authors.

Boori (Monty) Pryor, an Indigenous Australian author and storyteller, entertained the boys with tales from his childhood and emphasised that through exaggeration you can make a good tale great, and Sam Derchie from Ghana told tales of his life growing up in the jungle.

At the request of the boys, Book Week was celebrated as a birthday party for Roald Dahl who would have been 100 in September.

The boys dressed up as their favourite Dahl character and celebrated with a parade and pantomime. Lessons focused on Dahl’s writing and quizzes were held; the prize, of course, was a golden raffle ticket for Dahl’s famous books.

2017 will continue to see all three libraries embark on a new strategic plan, which will ensure that we are a leading light for other libraries around the world and a fount of information for our community.

MOCK TRIALS The Mock Trial Competition is a great opportunity offered at Scotch that allows the boys to learn and put into practice legal skills in simulated civil and criminal law trials, which in turn helps to develop public speaking skills, and quick and analytical thinking.

This year’s Mock Trial Competition has been successful, eye-opening, and undoubtedly enjoyable. Under the organised and insightful leadership of Mr Brendan Zani, Scotch was able to enter three teams into the competition: the Gold, Maroon, and Blue teams. As either the defence or the prosecution, Scotch faced an array of schools from across Perth at the Supreme Court of Western Australia.

We met three times over the course of the season, with our teams comprising barristers, solicitors, witnesses, court orderlies and judge’s assistants.

The Year 12 competitors acted as the leaders of the group and were exceptional in doing so. They were of great assistance to the younger boys through their experience

and possessed overwhelming intelligence regarding aspects of the law. This great leadership had a profound impact on the younger years, and sparked a great debut into the competition by the Year 10 cohort, who were so prepared and thorough when in the courtroom.

from James Naylor-Pratt, James Warne and Drummond Orr, the Gold team were experts in their field and must be commended for their commitment and work ethic.

In saying this, all the boys that entered the competition participated with intent and respect. The Mock Trials saw many boys not

This year’s Mock Trial Competition has been successful, eye-opening, and undoubtedly enjoyable.

In stark and comedic contrast to the Year 12s leadership were the occasional latecomers who seemed to be more versed in devouring a halal snack pack from the local kebab shop.

However, this feast must have worked its magic as the Gold team, composed of the most experienced boys, managed to complete their season with three wins from three trials.

With mention of memorable performances

SUSTAINABILIT Y Our teaching and learning programmes at Scotch have to be grounded in the educational, cultural, and spiritual objectives we have for every boy. Likewise, our focus on sustainability is not an isolated strategy. One of the College’s core values is that of Stewardship, focusing on the use of resources in a responsible and honourable manner.

As an International Baccalaureate world school, meaning can be found in the learner profiles of knowledgeable where we engage students with issues and ideas that have both local and global significance, and caring where we are actively committed to service and action aimed at making a difference in the lives of others and the world around us.

As a member of the Round Square Schools organisation one of our ideals is that of the environment.

Having a focus on sustainability allows us to focus on the alignment of affective and social skills such as encouraging our boys to be active contributors and concerned citizens within the world in which they live.

Throughout the year our 3 sub-schools focus on many issues and projects pertaining to sustainability. Recycling, earth care, participation in the Friends of Lake Claremont programme, water wise activities and contests, battery recycling, College vegetable and herb gardens and our chicken enclosure, are simple but concrete ways we can highlight to our boys the importance of reaching out to make a difference to our environment.

The College is also conscious that through many of the major projects we undertake, there is a social imperative that we do so through the lens of sustainability. In 2016 there were numerous examples of projects that had both a pragmatic driver, but more

importantly an environmental driver. These included: • Full redesign of the Claremont Crescent garden area to reduce water consumption by using native planting and at the same time create better parking for staff members on the campus • New chlorine injectors in our swimming pool to reduce the amount of chemicals we use • Low energy heaters to aid swimmers in the colder months • Redesign of various gardens around the school in an effort to reduce grassed areas through converting some into native gardens so as to reduce water consumption • Installation of holding tanks for putting wetting agent out through the sprinklers.

We start this roughly three months before required, meaning lower dosage of the agent saving money and also water on the oval. We also use this system for putting the nutrients required onto the oval cutting down on tractor and other vehicle usage • GPS line markers have resulted in more accurate markings and less waste material • GPS on tractors have been installed so as eliminate spraying overlap and material wastage

• Actively changing old light fittings for LED fittings throughout the school to reduce our carbon footprint • A full maintenance contract for all air conditioning on the campus has reduced our annual repair costs and in the long run reduces our power bill through cleaner filters • We have engaged a new waste removal company that actively promotes recycling through their new plant. They also donate to the Starlight Foundation every year as part of their business with us • All cleaning and toiletry products are green and some are recycled • The school introduced general and recycle bins for student waste to help separate waste around the school so that we can recycle easier While all of the above are some tangible examples of sustainability in action, our main goal is to ensure our boys understand the ‘Why?’ as much as the ‘What?. If we embed the ‘Why’ much of our work will be done.

I would like to thank and acknowledge the support of many staff and students in each sub-school and in particular the Chair of the Senior School student environmental committee, Alex Crump, for his work leading and supporting our programme.

UN YOUTH UN Youth Australia is a national youth-led organisation that aims to educate and involve young Australians in decision-making, current affairs and the United Nations. UN Youth runs many programmes throughout the year, ranging from national competitions to non-competitive activities. This year, Scotch College competed in the Evatt Trophy and attended the State Conference forum as well as Crisis Point last year.

The Evatt Trophy is the UN Youth’s most prestigious competition and is extremely popular across Australia. The competition consists of teams of two made up of students from around the state who each represent a country of the UN Security Council. This year, a number of teams represented Scotch College in the competition including Rafe Harrison-Murray, William Coad, Harry Penrose, Kartik Khanna, Bailey van der Zanden, Raghav Khanna, Prentice Shepherd, Sidharth Bhargavan, Oliver Broun, Charles Mills, James Naylor-Pratt, Lachlan Mackenzie, Drummond Orr and Rahuul Prasad. Leading up to the competition each team was given one of the fifteen countries that make up the Security Council, each team researched their countries and their political position on world affairs. The competition itself involves a resolution to a specific political and global issue. The aim of the competition is to achieve the best possible outcome for your country. This is achieved through communicating with other countries to convince others to vote for your proposed resolution.

Throughout the competition boys are exposed to different perspectives, explore global issues and develop their public speaking skills. The Evatt Trophy is a great experience for boys in

128

Years 9 to 12, allowing students to solve global issues and challenge their communication skills to broaden their understanding of global issues.

During the course of the weekend, delegates will have the opportunity to participate in engaging workshops, listen to inspirational guest speakers and represent a country in Model

Crisis Point is a crisis simulation competition where boys attempt to solve a security threat facing the world today through diplomacy, negotiation, and compromise. The simulation is thoroughly enjoyable as boys represent particular roles of important global governments and organisations. The aim of the competition is to achieve a solution to the crisis by working collaboratively with other departments. As well as this, each department has its own privileged power and information surrounding the crisis

UN debates. The theme of the conference of 2016 was ‘Striving for Change: Indigenous Rights, Equality and Reconciliation’.

Scotch boys described the experience as tremendously challenging, but very exciting and encouraging. The State Conference is both fun and educational as it allows boys to voice their opinions with others and discuss global issues with a large, diverse range of students. As well as that, the State Conference provides a great platform to develop awareness of the international community and reinforces the importance of communication when solving problems.

and must choose whether or not to use or share their advantages. This creates a very difficult environment to effectively solve a crisis and requires critical thinking and skilful negotiating to work collaboratively. The recent Crisis Point had a positive turnout of Scotch boys, led by Will Coad and Kartik Khanna.

UN Youth Western Australia offers a unique opportunity to engage with global issues and develop a broad range of skills. I personally recommend attending any one of the UN Youth events throughout 2017 to any interested boys.

MUSIC

2016 has been a year of new experiences for both students and staff in the Music Department, with new opportunities to perform presenting themselves.

This was exemplified by the professional presence of a number of world-class musicians and scholars.

Staff and students had the opportunity to hear Wynton Marsalis, trumpet-extraordinaire, rehearse with the Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra in the Perth Concert Hall, and received wise words of professional wisdom from guest lecturer Mr Michael Griffin. Mr Griffin had a number of focused and astute insights in regard to musical performance, rehearsal, and practice, backed up by neuroscience and a lifetime of expertise.

Students from the Scotch Youth Voices and Combined Scotch/PLC Vocal Ensemble had the pleasure of workshopping with Jonathon Welch and his Choir of Hard Knocks when they visited Scotch College. The poignant and powerful life lessons the choir members shared with us, as well as Mr Welch’s exuberant force of personality, rendered the day one that none of us will ever forget.

Once again, the Scotch/PLC Symphony Orchestra was directed by the highly creditable Dr Alan Lourens, the Head of the School of Music at UWA, performing at the Quarry Amphitheatre. Along with the Combined Scotch/PLC Vocal Ensemble, both groups performed with maturity and outstanding musicianship to the full house that attended the concert at this picturesque outdoor venue.

The Round Square Conference in April featured a number of performances from Scotch musicians. The Senior String Quartet, with Charlie Thomas on didgeridoo, played Oliver Scott-Morey’s original composition,

while the opening ceremony saw the Senior Jazz Ensemble rhythm section, with Nicholas Clarnette on tenor saxophone, perform an entertaining rendition of ‘The Chicken’. The Scotch Youth Voices presented a rousing performance of ‘The Twist’, which was enthusiastically received by the audience with delegates in the auditorium dancing spontaneously throughout the performance.

Congratulations to all involved with these performances.

began for the second season of the Combined Scotch/PLC Symphony Orchestra, along with workshops from visiting artists.

Scotch College was well represented at a number of Anzac ceremonies this year.

Charles Barblett, Nathan Schaff and Harry Pasich performed the “Last Post” and the “Rouse” during Anzac ceremonies at the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Swanbourne Primary School and St Louis Retirement Village respectively.

The Scotch/PLC Combined Symphony Orchestra performed in the ‘A’ Division at the ABODA Orchestra festival and was awarded an ‘Outstanding’ for their performance.

The Scotch Youth Voices toured to Fairbridge Festival the following day and were invited to perform on the main stage this year. This is a credit to the level of performance they have achieved under the leadership of their musical director, Ms Jennifer Sullivan.

Scotch musicians joined students from a myriad of other schools at the West Australian Youth Jazz Orchestra’s Concert for Schools. The audience had the privilege of hearing elite youth performers from WA playing the history of jazz, from New Orleans, through to modern big band.

Autumn Term saw a wide spread of performance opportunities with the Vocal Showcase, Jazz Night and The Addams Family musical production. In addition, rehearsals

Artists visiting Scotch College included famed drummer and big band leader, Mr John Morrison, and award-winning

jazz vocalist, Ms Jacki Cooper. Their visit coincided with the 21st Jazz Night and they were special guest artists performing with staff and students for the evening. One of many highlights of the evening included the drum battle between John Morrison and Ebun Daramola in ‘Caravan’

was recognised for playing with confidence and maturity beyond their years. Following their performance, the Jazz Ensemble workshopped with Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra musician Reggie Thomas, another great opportunity for them to learn from an outstanding musician and educator.

Scotch Music students had the opportunity to meet and workshop with of a number of professionals hosted by the Music Department including: international Jazz and Classical trumpeter, Rex Richardson; prominent musician and OSC, Mr Ashley Arbuckle; WAAPA staff member, Mr Jamie Oehlers; and a number of WAAPA students.

Everyone involved was thankful for and encouraged by the learning opportunities.

Other awards for outstanding musicianship at the Jazz Festival were given to Harry Nicholls (trombone) for his improvisation with the Jazz Combo, and to the rhythm section of the Big Band, Patrick Carlton (drums), Oliver Broun (percussion), Ben Anderson (bass), Kyle Imlah (guitar) and Tristan Lee (piano), in recognition of their performance on the day.

The musicians at Scotch College presented several performances early in Winter Term.

All ensembles from the jazz programme at Scotch College performed in the WA Schools’ Jazz Festival and the Combined Scotch/PLC Symphony Orchestra performed in the WA Schools’ Orchestra Festival.

The Senior Jazz Ensemble performed three pieces from the library of the celebrated composer Duke Ellington. They were one of only two bands in WA to be awarded a Gold Award for their performance in the Essentially Ellington Competition. The band

The Scotch/PLC Combined Symphony Orchestra performed in the ‘A’ Division at the ABODA Orchestra festival and was awarded an ‘Outstanding’ for their performance.

The pedigree of this award should not be underestimated, and it is a tribute to the work of the students, their tutors and conductor, Dr Alan Lourens.

The Senior Guitar Ensemble performed at Carine SHS in the annual WA Schools’ Guitar Festival. This ensemble is recognised for playing innovative arrangements and under the direction of Mr Robert Spence, they received an ‘Excellent’ for their performance.

Congratulations should also go to music staff members Ms Ibolya Mikajlo and Mr Rob Spence who presented the Con Brio Concert.

The audience enjoyed a varied and strong programme with performances from string ensembles, guitar ensembles and soloists.

The concert finale was a notable highlight with a rousing arrangement of the Game of Thrones theme, presented by the combined forces of the Scotch Philharmonic Orchestra and the Pipe Band ‘A’ Team.

The Concert Band Showcase featured woodwind, brass and percussion students from the Middle School Concert Band and the Senior School Concert Band collaborating in the Dickinson Centre. The night was an exciting one for the Music Department as it debuted a new ensemble for 2016, the Scotch College Drumline. Under the direction of Mr James Chong percussion students had been preparing for a term and performed to a receptive audience on the night. To conclude the concert the Drumline and Senior Concert Band joined forces to perform an arrangement of “Brickhouse”, accompanied

by Kyle Imlah (guitar) and Timothy Oe (bass).

From the audience’s enthusiastic response to this roof-raising finale, we will be hearing from the Drumline on many occasions in the future.

Pipe Band Following the announcement of the band leadership positions, an enthusiastic yet somewhat nervous leadership cohort sought to establish a standard of excellence which would come to define the Pipe Band in 2016.

Performances throughout the year offered plentiful opportunities for Band members of all ages to represent their College. These events included annual School celebrations such as March Out, Founder’s Day, Open Day and Athletics Day, with the latter two involving displays of formation marching. These occasions were complemented by external events including but not limited to, Tim’s Ride, the Hawaiian Ride for Youth, the Anzac Day Parade as well as a performance on Vietnam Veterans Day in August.

It is well known that Scotch College hosts a prolific musical culture. As such, combined efforts between the Pipe Band and the Music Department are relatively common in their occurrence. This year, at the Con Brio and Spring Concerts, the Pipe Band A-team, along with the Senior String Orchestra, presented a cover of the Game of Thrones main title theme, a highlight for all involved.

2016 also saw the Pipe Band return to competition, with an emphasis placed on the enthusiastic participation of both the A-team

and the full band. Significant results were achieved, whereby the band not only retained the State Juvenile Title, but also achieved first place in both the Juvenile and Grade 4 Divisions at the Fremantle Highland Championships in May of this year. Furthermore, a collection of boys ranging from Years 8 to 12, participated in multiple solo competition events, achieving outstanding results. The accomplishments of the Band this year are strongly indicative of an increased enthusiasm and overall improvement of the Band’s playing capacity, which bodes well for the future.

The continuing commitment and dedication of the Pipe Band Parent Support Group, Bandmaster Craig Bailey, Drumming Instructor Roy Hamilton, and Piping Instructor Norm De Grussa, ensures the incredible growth and development of the Band. Their collective support was paramount in the success of the Band’s performances this year, making them undoubtedly deserving of the gratitude and admiration felt by all Band members.

I wish the Band leaders for 2017 well, yet it is with conviction and the utmost confidence that I believe they will not need it, for the Band is certainly in capable hands.

SENIOR SCHOOL DR A M A The highlight on the Drama 2016 calendar would have to be the Years 8-12 production of The Addams Family, the first musical performed at Scotch College in over 10 years.

Knowing what the boys may have initially lacked in singing and dancing experience would be made up for in enthusiasm, the journey into relatively unknown territory proved a most rewarding and exhilarating experience.

The Addams Family follows the lives of the eccentric yet loveable characters of the Addams, and hilarity ensues after Wednesday becomes engaged to a boy named Lucas, who is from the exceedingly average Beineke family. Through a series of entertaining plot

An enormous amount of appreciation should be given to the numerous members of the creative team who worked tirelessly on the production, from the Co-Directors Bennet Andrews and Emma Cooper, who kept the themes of the story prominent throughout the whole process, to the musical director Adrian Khoo, and vocal coaches Suzanne Wydra, Paull-Anthony Keightley and Katie How, who were integral to the advancement and fine tuning of the vocalists. Gratitude also goes to choreographer Kirra Muni, who sweated as much as the cast, performing the dance moves at rehearsals and maybe even the nights of the performance! The production and design team featured the talents of two OSCs: Tyler Hill, who created a set design that brought the world of the Addams Family to life, and Kale Tatam, whose lighting design and operation transformed the stage into another world.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.�

T. S. Eliot twists and turns, the universal theme of finding love and truth within our moments of inner darkness and peril were unveiled. The final production week presented performances that were nothing short of outstanding. From the soaring highs to the cascading lows, the combination of acting, singing, dancing, lighting, set design and orchestra made the audience hang on every word.

The friendships formed within the cast will last a lifetime, especially given that the camaraderie extended way beyond each cohort and role in the production. Year 12s in principal roles connected and coalesced with the chorus and younger cast members, who may have been initially too nervous to interact with the taller and hairier older boys. In addition, these open arms were further extended to the girls from JTC, Victoria and Alice, who also thoroughly enjoyed their experience, forming a special bond with Scotch College. This says a great deal, not only about the quality of boys in the production, but also of the strong values Scotch College endeavours to instil in their students.

To cap everything off, we were lucky enough to have on board the Perth Symphony Orchestra, whose professional orchestral experience and incredible musicianship added another layer of brilliance to the show. As members of the cast, we were very grateful for the experience.

This ambitious project which began in late 2015 was an epic journey with the usual

challenges and obstacles along the way. In the end, the many hours of rehearsals and hard work amalgamated into a production full of enjoyment, friendship and pride that blew the socks off everyone who saw it.

Once the excitement of the production had calmed down, the Year 12 Drama students spent the following term knuckling down with the task of completing their first foray in script writing and what would culminate in their Original Solo Production and final performances at Scotch College. These entirely self-devised works were first showcased at OSP Night, and again at the very first PSA Drama Night, along with students from Guildford Grammar and Trinity College. This initiative of the Scotch Drama Department is one that we hope will continue, not only for PSA schools to showcase the exemplary performance work of their Year 12 Drama students, but also for those presenting to share their process and experience in an open discussion with an audience of their peers and Year 11 students, who will undertake the same task in the following year.

Congratulations and thank you to all the students, staff and parents who played significant roles in ensuring 2016 was a successful year of new ventures for Drama.

MIDDLE SCHOOL DRAMA It has been an outstanding year in Drama for the Middle School students.

This year saw the introduction of a Drama Club, where boys were able to extend and explore their performance skills outside the Drama curriculum.

The success of this initiative is a wonderful reflection of how greatly the Arts are valued by our Middle School students. In the classroom, students have worked creatively to write, rehearse and perform their own dramatic pieces. Classes have experienced working and rehearsing in the Foundation Theatre, which allowed boys to engage with the lighting facilities available.

Many Middle School students were lucky enough to perform in the Years 6/7 production of Treasure Island, and we thank Ms Sarah Combes for directing the outstanding production. The fast-paced and lively performance delivered each evening highlighted the confidence, creativity and energy of the cast involved. Students were able to develop a variety of theatrical skills, which produced believable characters and a focused stage presence. The positive energy and commitment from the boys ensured that

the 2016 production of Treasure Island was a rewarding experience for all involved and a great success.

Four Year 8 students were given the opportunity to perform in The Addams Family musical in June. These students worked professionally throughout the entire process, which involved rigorous rehearsals of musical numbers. It was wonderful to watch them accept and meet the challenges involved in such a large production.

They worked confidently and collaboratively with students from the Senior School and performed at numerous sold out performances.

During Arts Week, Year 6 students were lucky enough to see a production of the Craig Silvey novel, The Amber Amulet. Students were mesmerised by the engaging narrative and the solo actor’s energetic performance. We hope to continue to expose all students to live theatre and spark their creativity through the magic of theatre!

ARTS WEEK The sun was shining in September as the Arts Festival on the top oval launched the Arts Week activities.

Senior School students were dismissed early from classes so they could buy their lunch from the array of food trucks parked on the oval; Mexican and Japanese were among the selection of cuisines available.

An important focus for the lunchtime Festival was the various Arts events that staff and students could engage in: mastering the skill of throwing on the pottery wheel proved popular and harder than first thought; a mini-festival of student film was an entertaining part of the programme; Ricochet Circus gathered an interactive crowd; and invited musicians Gypsy Jazz and Hart Foundation added atmosphere to the festival experience.

The next three lunchtime sessions resumed their traditional venue in front of the Dickinson Centre, combining student musical performances and Visual Art activities. Jazz Combo, Percussion Ensemble and Senior School Rock Bands performed for the audience. Thursday saw the annual ‘Art Battle’ in which Thomas Barwood was victorious due to an overwhelming vote for his watercolour painting.

In the evenings each Arts department showcased students’ work through events pertinent to their own art forms. Monday and

Tuesday evenings hosted public performances of students’ work in Daggers Drawn: Extracts from Romeo and Juliet, performed by Year 11 Drama, and Year 12 Original Solo Drama Performances.

On Wednesday evening students from PrePrimary to Year 12 exhibited art and design work in the ‘Inspirations’ Exhibition set up in the Scotch Gallery. The inaugural ‘People’s Choice Award’ went to Eddie Atchison for his graphic design illustrations.

Thursday evening, the Media Awards Night showcased students’ films from Years 9 to 12 on an impressively large screen. The evening concluded with awards presented to students who had excelled in various categories.

Arts Week concluded with the Spring Concert, a highly anticipated event which epitomises the raison d’etre of the Arts at Scotch.

Arts Week was again successful in encouraging boys to develop unique creativity and selfexpression through participating in Arts events that facilitate the promotion of ideas, skills and techniques, in turn generating a life-long love of the Arts.

The following is the prize-winning work.

Dr Jeannette Weeda English Department

Changing Tide Campbell Williamson, Year 12 Slap. I wipe the bloody remains down my leg and turn to grab the Aerogard, suddenly caught in the glow of the afternoon sun dressing the foreshore in a cloak of gold. Bewitching shafts of light stream down through the overhanging gum trees, dancing on my watch face before rushing into my eyes. Against this dressage of beauty, out there, deep within the river, I notice a shimmering figure working against the current. It removes plastic bags, seizes loose cans and gallantly struggles on. Alone. No one seems to care.

I’m already gone, sprinting along the perfidious embankment being sure to avoid the countless cracked bottles and double-gees. A sort of thirty-metre sprint completed on alternating legs. Promptly, I realise I’ve forgotten David and rush back, pulling him away mid argument with mum. My bare feet turn green and the smell of grass permeates the surrounding air as David is dragged along by his arms, dragged away from that picnic blanket that sits on the grass by the foreshore.

I resurface in the present, acknowledging the loud buzz of the picnicking families surrounding our area.

These people are focusing on the important things in life, Sunday papers and the rising scent of their sizzling sausages on their Kleenheat barbies. They too enjoy the water as it hides in plain sight; force-fed cocktails of human waste, under a thin veneer of golden sun each day.

We weave between barbecues and dogs and cricket matches and, ultimately, stumble straight through a hide-and-seek game, coming out the other end onto the sand.

Sprawled around me in an arc are salads, sandwiches, pies and pasties and a basket of oranges. Red cherries burst from their plastic coffins and juice from an enormous watermelon begins to trickle from an upturned container. It runs down and wets my bum.

Metres away, the river feasts on the very chemicals that swelled these fruits to their tasty and exquisite best – yum!

On my right, David, my older brother frowns at his phone as he tends to his raging social life. He is short and thin in all places except his belly, which protrudes slightly underneath his shirt. When standing, his arms seem to sag past his knees and I think it makes him look like a Sumatran Orangutan. I notice him grope for a luscious, ripe, red cherry as he fills the area with his heavy breathing.

I sit up. “Now?” Mum’s ensconced in her Women’s Weekly and doesn’t even bother to look up. I can only see the top of her comically oversized rose glasses and her faded, straw, broad-brimmed hat as she adjusts it further down her face.

“Thirty minutes, love. No Swimming,” she says as she sucks something from between her teeth, returning to the important things in life.

I nick a final sausage roll and brush the camped pastry off my shirt. “Please? I won’t go swimming, just wading.”

The only response is David’s heavy breathing.

I unload my questions of interrogation - Why? Why not? How long? When till? She slowly lowers the magazine mask and gives me a stare that knocks the heat out of the sun.

“What if I go with David?” I sigh.

For the first time in recent memory David’s face leaves his phone screen and moulds into a look of puzzled betrayal. Amongst the gulp of the river, I hear my mum exhale a solitary “Yes”.

The sun is beginning to fall in the sky and I notice a shadow, which sits on the water like sunscreen atop a pool. A cold gust of wind pushes against me and I look ahead to the city, the old brewery, the cars and the boats. The lone swimmer is just a speck now, still struggling valiantly against the pull of the water.

“Are we at the river or the ocean?” I ask.

“Do you listen to yourself when you talk, Dingus?” replies David, phone light reflecting onto his face.

“Yeah well, I guess it’s the river but what difference does it make anyway, it’s all related, it’s all… hey look jellyfish! In the water!” I yell as I kick up sand in joy.

David is so thrilled he doesn’t even budge his gaze.

Excitedly and without thinking I begin to wade out. Past where the tiny waves break, looking for that globular creature. Water grasps at my knees and I roll up my shorts as I start getting deeper and deeper. The river roars in my ears.

Reaching down toward the darkness, the tide spits a jellyfish into my path. I smile excitedly as it slaps into my grasp. It’s cold and slimy and foreign.

I turn around and call for David but he’s out of sight.

Even the swimmer is gone. I look down and focus on the thing that now occupies my hand, still cold and still slimy. I see its unnatural red colour; I notice its sagging tentacles blotched with boils and how slender the entire thing is. Disgusted, it falls ungraciously in a heap back under water leaving nothing behind but that slimy sensation.

I scrub my hands in the water but they won’t come clean. Unsure, I just stand there awkwardly in the tide.

Slowly, I begin to clamber back ashore, trying to shut out the putrid smell of decay that shadows me.

Backing away from the river, I run. Back, through the hide-and-seek circle, across the cricket match, past the dogs, between barbecues and through crowds.

Returning, I sit down next to Mum and hide my face behind a magazine, trying to focus only on the smell of sausages.

147 CELEBRATING THE ARTS

Snowflakes in her Ginger Hair Thomas Earnshaw, Year 9 I sat at the back of the train carriage with my head in my hands and the sounds of torment travelling through my weakened ears. My younger sister Mabel lay next to me grasping her teddy bear in her frail hands. The train slowly came to an end in its voyage and the guards slid open the doors forcing light upon the many eyes. Stumbling out, my boots indented the white snow beneath my feet as I helped my sister off the decaying wooden carriage. Cold winds caressed my shivering body. The guards demanded young and old to walk towards the large compound in the distance. I held my little sister as she wept in my arms.

The fields surrounding the building were overgrown with dead trees and bushes, each one unique in form.

The building itself was decaying as each brick was no longer its bright orange colour but tarnished brown with signs of erosion along the roof tiles. Power lines and fences entrapped the entire building. A railway ran along the frosty ground beneath us towards it, with dirty snow trapped inside the perished wooden tracks.

Rubble, burnt bushes and rusty cans lay along our path. Our footsteps were loud in the barren wasteland as our group treaded across the rails. Snow began to fall and cover my sister and I with white snowflakes.

“Aaron,” whispered my sister in a soft voice.

I gazed towards her agitated eyes as she stared back at me. She lay in my arms, her ginger hair covering my sepia coat. Snow glittered over her pale face. “Where are we?” she continued.

“I don’t know, Mabel,” I explained to her as I observed our surroundings.

The group made their way towards the gate walking over the rubble and the snowed-in tracks. As we treaded across the wasteland, German guards started appearing on the roof of the building, each with guns strapped around them and the Nazi sign on the side of their sleeves. The doors swung open. We all entered not knowing what would happen.

“Heil Hitler!” yelled two officers as they came together.

The taller of them both turned to face the group. He was an old man with blue eyes and freakishly large ears. Deep wrinkles ran down his face and a jagged scar marked his left cheek. He was wearing a dark green suit with polished shoes and an arrangement of army badges on his jacket. Perhaps he was the superior officer. He glared at the crowd and patrolled along staring into the front row, turning to his coworker and whispering in his ear. They turned back to face the group and nodded to the guards surrounding us.

The guards grabbed all the men and pushed them to one side.

Then they came to me. Still holding my sister, they forced me to the ground and seized my sister out of my arms. Screaming and crying, she struggled in their grasp, yelling my name and reaching for me.

The men covered her open mouth and muffled her squealing. Throwing her to the ground the men behind me grabbed my shirt and hauled me up onto my feet.

The guards had separated the group into two sides.

On one side were men and on the other elderly women and children. I could see my sister; tears stained her cheeks and she was scratched along the palms of her hands and elbows. The guards surrounded both groups as the officers moved in front. The superior

148

officer summoned the closest guard and whispered in his ear. The officer then turned back to face the crowd and we were escorted away, leaving my sister behind.

The group of men walked through the towering doors into a large warehouse. Inside, hundreds of young men were at hard labour, working amongst the haze of smoke rising from the raging furnaces. Each man was skinny and starving. Many were exhausted and at the edge of death. Everyone was wearing blue and white striped uniforms and each had a number on the side of their shirts. As we walked past the toiling workers many of the men didn’t look up at us but simply kept working with their greasy hands and tarnished tools.

Our group stumbled through the intoxicating fumes to the other side of the building. A long table lay covered in dust with piles of uniforms lain out in disarray. The guards escorting us stood on the other side and stared into our eyes.

“Setzen die Kleidung auf!” shouted the guard on the far left of the table; his face grew red and the veins in his neck became visible.

Many of the men in our group couldn’t speak the German language and were unclear about what the enraged man had said. My father was German and had taught me some of the language. I had no idea why the man was so angered because he had simply said to put the clothes on. He furiously took out his handgun and fired a single bullet into the roof. A large sound shot through the air as small shards of dust fell from where the bullet had pierced the roof. The men working behind us didn’t react to the sound and continued working. Knowing what to do, I quickly pushed forward through the crowd to the table and took one of the uniforms. Nervously, the crowd behind me also came forward and chose a uniform. I slowly got undressed, taking off my clothes and replacing them with the striped garments. When the entire group was dressed the guards pushed us towards the work area, threw us into the lethal mist and forced us to work.

Walking out of the building my arms shivered with cold. My body yearned for nourishment and I feared starvation. I could feel my ribcage protrude out of my chest, large bags sat under my eyes. The moon had arisen and the skies were black. Lamp posts lit up the glossy snow and dirt paths. It had been almost three days since I had arrived and I hadn’t seen my sister since. I missed her familiar blue eyes and pretty ginger hair. She was all I had and I was meant to protect her. If anything was to happen to her…

Walking back to my dorm, which was at the far end of the camp, I noticed a small light in the distance behind the rusted fence. As I came up to it, I saw five men digging a large pit; each one wearing the same uniform I was wearing. They were interrupted when an officer came by. He pointed at each one of the men and then gestured at something out of sight. Each man then walked over to where the man had pointed.

Observing quietly I slowly moved closer to the fence.

The men came back carrying something lifeless in their arms, each one then throwing it into the pit. One man turned and faced me.

I saw the snowflakes in her ginger hair as he threw the body into the hole…

The Woodsman’s Son

By Lewis Orr, Year 9

Youth of the Year Speech Tom Gooch, Year 12

A yellow wood.

Da would say the Thickest of eight counties.

When dawn split down its middle One could well sense the maudlin caw of raven-song and watch of Shaven eagles, their talons locked like fishing hooks.

The glow was mottled in hemlock-white, a gauze Trickled thin of spruce-fir cinnamon Twixt the flux of underbrush. Browning. For someThing lay untouched in this cut-flower morn.

Perhaps it ran through leaves, or grouse-blather, Or in the runnel-scars that burbled fatly On this I bow to not yet fathom.

Good evening judges, students and parents.

He was of tall and broad-set figure. Years on hunt Do that to folk. On kind occasion, I’d take his wended way To aid the craft and learn hunt’s song.

‘Come lad! See your Da’s jack-hunting-knife. Taken All trips, swaddled in cowhide musk. With its Iv’ry-guard Da cleft game and whit his sapwood.

I dreamt of this blade, of wielding its point to Carn some shameful beast.

But ‘twas his Da’s afore him, and thus mine in Consoled waiting.

For there it stood. Its loins Iron-wrought beneath the loam.

Here it endured in epoch-spell - a mute sentinel.

By oath, it stood guard like an ably built man!

He entered at bark, hewing lumber-rind with His woodsman’s axe in a spatter of timber-grit.

Upon the outer break he plunged his axe-heft Deep into the heartwood. The pine rent whilst sap Streamed as though a puncture of satcheled claret.

With the giant toppled he roared, exulted.

Now out from under the threadbare jerkin came His jack-hunting-knife, hacking in spry at the Wafery log face. But did that codger stab!

Carving half-moons through the tea-blanched paper like He was born to. Before an hour’s pass we’d Procured a week’s haul of lumber and spruce-fag.

The man-pillar was palsied, fixed in the sod.

As night fell we journeyed back.

Whilst we walked, Da primed the jack-hunting knife.

To feed we skinned hares and tracked woodland game For Ma to griddle. Then forked out from the left jacketSheath would come the glass mini. Demon rum.

Precarious nights when he knuckled those rings.

And as I spade the weighted clod Upon that scowl, familiar once I recall in fondness Such times in these woods On kinder days and youth long past The silent light Wrapped like muslin cloth Over gorse garbed knolls And wheeling eagles with tufted stubble The bone hilt, now lodged snug Blade point nestled and sharp.

I look down, then up, to breathe at ease The hunted returned the hunter.

It’s 11pm. You have had a rigorous day, exhausted from the chaotic classroom and the after school sport, and then the homework! You have just hit the hay until, mmm mmm! It’s a message, or it could be a notification, or it could be a snapchat.

What do you do…Leave it? Of course not! This is the impact technology is having on you.

Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube to name a few. These sites are dominating our life. Think about it. How much time would you spend on these sites per day? I followed this up and asked ten Year 12 students at Scotch College and the average time among them was four hours. One-sixth of a day! On social media!

That’s about as long as a conversation with your parents about sex and drugs!

Think back to the 1980s, prior to this entire indoctrinating Internet. Days consisted of school, sport and socialising. With acquaintances. Not with apps. Studies have shown, according to The Australian Communications and Media Authority, that Australian teens now access these apps more than 72 times per day!

Mobile phones connect, yet isolate. Yes, they are extremely useful for enhancing communications, yet they seem to take people away from vital aspects of life, one being the ability to make conversation, as now, it is not mouths that do the talking. It’s thumbs.

Due to the constant use of social networking, many teens now lack what Richard Louve describes as a vital ingredient of human life.

A connection to nature. Resulting in the Nature Deficit Disorder, further leading to a wide range of behavioural problems.

This has made me consider the future of Australian children. Will they ever get the exposure to the picturesque landscapes we possess in Australia, in person? Or simply see it through the screen of a smartphone?

Generation Z is witnessing the detrimental impacts of technology. It takes over. It empowers.

It… causes…havoc.

For those who have Instagram, yes, I do too - do you recognise how exotic life is? Each post seems to portray a sense of freedom and disregard to the real life regularity. This glorification has one true goal. Escapism.

This escapism can create CLMs (career limiting manoeuvers). When people go out they don’t DTRT (do the right thing), they end up with a tainted public profile that they DW (don’t worry) about. Until the boss tells them to CYE (check your email) and then they find out they won’t BRB (be right back) to work.

Technology also has an impact on family dynamics, as I’m sure you are all aware. I know many families that rely so heavily on technology, the dinnertime discussions are bound by a screen. Many families have to enforce rules such as time limits and competitions to see who cannot use technology the longest. Does this not ring havoc?

Albert Einstein once said, “The technological process is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” He is right. It is more often used to kill, rather than to chop wood.

Maybe if Einstein had the ab-sol-ute privilege to a Facebook page his thoughts might have been different.

The use of technology is being used in many different ways, and, yes, it is extremely efficient and beneficial in many ways. However, as a generation growing up in a time where technology is progressing faster than we are, we need to step back from the whirlwind and realise there are a lot more important things in life than diving into the blue f.

Necrose Lewis Weeda, Year 11 There’s a discordant harmony; an artifice of tune, Piercing my ears with blasts of a long-told tale; Notes and coins rip at hearts, its pleasures, betrayal, And pluck people from their friendly commune; Oh! While we listen to its deathly croon Nature chokes, roadkill beside our current trail; We dig Her graves of coal and oil, stock exchanges fail, To Money’s cutting claws we are hewn.

But, She, the nurturing deity, Demeter’s role; Indifferent to money, learning, religion and that Warmth of Her sun will make me whole; My melody is the sounds of the ocean’s scat, For She is the shining North Star to all; She has made me realise! Money is as insidious as a blighted rat.

Sexism: Is a Thing of the Past in Australia?

Ben Marshall, Year 9 Apparently Women Don’t Watch Sport in Australia Is a horse better than a woman? Why not? Horses are majestic creatures and as ABC coverage of events would suggest they should and do receive more news coverage than all combined women’s sport in Australian broadcasting. As the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) makes vicious cuts to women’s sport as if it were “a sacrificial lamb” in the words of Australian Basketball centre Lauren Jackson, it speaks to the notion that sexism is indeed alive and well thanks to the lack of coverage of female athletes.

After all, people would rather watch horses race than females play sport.

Before anyone tries to argue that this is not a recent problem and things have become better even if they still aren’t good, take a quick glance at the percentage of female sport covered. Right now it sits at around 8%, a shockingly low number. Yet even as broadcasting companies increase in wealth, the percentage was 11% a decade ago. The most gut wrenching thought behind this entire catastrophe is that women’s sport does have a market in television and can be successfully covered. Just take Netball Australia. With advertisements such as the ‘play like a girl’ they have managed to gain some resemblance of the coverage that men receive. This is an essential step in solving issues of gender equality as through having widely broadcast women’s sport, issues of a lack of female role models and decreased salaries can be addressed. This is not to mention that women are already more successful on an Olympic stage anyway.

Most people would acquaint success in a professional sporting environment with winning, yet not Australian National Broadcasters. As the ABC chops the socalled ‘unwanted’ W-League (women’s soccer) and WNBL (Women’s National Basketball League) they do not rid themselves of the losing teams: men’s teams.

Believe it or not, despite all the buffoonish hype around the Australian Men’s Soccer team and A-League games being televised, the Australian Men’s Team is ranked 67th globally. There are, in fact, 66 teams that are better than ours. Meanwhile, the Women’s Team (The Matildas) reached the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup, meaning they are within the best 10-15 teams globally. Perhaps the ABC, for example, doesn’t see it this way, but to those who can comprehend basic numerical values, 67 is more than four times lower than 15.

It’s not just in soccer where women out-shine the men.

The Southern Stars (Australia Women’s Cricket Team) recently won the highly coveted Ashes, a national pride. This compared to the bitter losses of the men’s team by significant margins on several occasions.

Basketball is likewise - the Opals (female Australian basketball) holding high hopes for Rio this year and claiming Bronze in the last Olympics, whilst the men reached a clearly over-whelming and god-like seventh, not making even the semi-finals.

Even with this success, women shouldn’t have to win to be blessed with simple coverage by broadcasting companies. Currently in Australia, women and young girls alike are without the standout perfection which many male athletes receive from younger generations.

In order to stem the flow of sexism younger women must be able to see proud female athletes to whom

150

they may aspire. Presently this is sorely lacking through any type of coverage so whilst boys are taught they can be brave and tough like an Australian Football League player, for example, with 60 high quality cameras touching every inch of the MCG on Grand Final Day, girls, if they’re lucky, and live around Canberra where it is broadcast, may catch a brief glimpse of a player whose name they can’t remember while a meagre team of four cameras covers a Canberra Capitals WNBL game. Even this small luxury will soon be stamped out though - don’t everybody panic - by the cuts the ABC is making.

Finally, many before have touched on the large gap in pay between men and women. Guess what? This is another reoccurrence in female national sport. But wait, how could the good old broadcasting channel such as the Aussie true blue ABC have anything to do with paying athletes? That’s not their job, they don’t have to do that. As the bearer of bad news we must regretfully inform the ignorant that the ABC and other broadcasting companies have everything to do with the pay. If sport gets coverage, it gets attention; if sport gets attention, it gets sponsors; if sport gets sponsors it gets money. As one would then expect, women’s sport money is drying up thanks to the friendly push of broadcasting companies to erase all existence of Australian female sport. If we once more visit the Matildas we see the average pay is $21,000.00 per annum. Hold on, that seems like an okay payday, until realisation hits that Australian soccer star Tim Cahill receives $27,397.00 a day and the average wage is $340,000.00 per annum. In fact, Tim Cahill makes more money in a day than even the Matilda’s captain.

Of course this means that these fiercely trained women must work multiple jobs to scrape by, not to mention most athletes having families with hungry mouths to feed. So whilst these women work tirelessly to maintain their skill as well as their livelihood, the men roll in money. And this all points back to one key factor - broadcasting and game coverage.

But as the future darkens and darkens, we can still see a few slivers of hope. With the previously mentioned success of Netball in Australia managing to find a foothold in the vicious downfall that is sport’s coverage, many channels and companies seek to do the same. Over the past summer the Rebel Women’s Big Bash League has seen pleasing numbers in attendance and viewing. The Jillaroos test match also cashed in with over 100,000 viewers. The AFL has additionally come in on the action with a women’s league planned for 2017.

Of course this coverage can only work with the support of big broadcasting companies as well as the most important factor of any sport, Us, the viewers. If we can make a change simply by turning on our television whilst lying on the couch with a cold one, or even attending a game, we can force Australia to disregard its outdated and ignorant sexist views. It isn’t even hard, as clearly females and now possibly males alike can behold the spectacular sporting phenomenon that is Australian female athletes.

Pseudo-realism

By André Avila, Year 12 Psuedo-realism: So much complexity, endless perplexity; A straightjacket for my frontal lobe.

The path to freedom is in front of me; I’ve lost sight of what I think I see.

I drift steadily into the fabricated depths of the night; Flaunting my life on mechanisms of exposure, Connections of immeasurable distance or sight, My insubstantial energy is beginning to spill over.

The slow mechanical heartbeat, losing contact with the living, Forging the prism of synthetic, corrupting the impressionable eyes of children.

Hypnotized by authority and brainwashed by austerity; Assembling the fragments of a deadpan design.

At what point do we stare blank with influenced belief, Into a faceless construction of bones and flesh, Our reflection stands, open from the inside, To show us what advocate they let us believe.

The evolution from pages to pixels, Touched by the ancient hand of God, To the initial spark of excitement, Lessening the foreseeable new wave of darkness.

The increasingly late nights of bright lights, All I see are mountains of wasted hours, And forests of misspent energy.

Force-fed ideas of popularity and propriety.

To end up with the sounds and sights; Of confusion and misinterpretation.

Maybe if I look like that…

I might just be happy.

Maybe if I buy this…

I might be fulfilled.

The slow mechanical heartbeat, losing contact with the living, Forging the prism of synthetic, corrupting the impressionable eyes of children.

Hypnotized by authority and brainwashed by austerity; Assembling the fragments of a deadpan design.

At what point do we stare blank with influenced belief, Into a faceless construction of bones and flesh, Our reflection stands, open from the inside, To show us what advocate they let us believe.

To show us what we’ve really become.

The judgment that was fabricated; So mindless, pointless and spineless.

Caught with supplementary culture, What happened to embracing ourselves?

Erase the manual, starting from scratch, The way we’re meant to be dispatched.

Pull focus on the blur between, And embrace the humanity; Regardless of colour, regardless of capacity Now institutionalized, we’re in this boat together.

So stare with pride and gratification…

To know that the disposition has been melded.

But how do we walk? And how do I talk?

Blank blueprints are drawn with chalk.

The point in which we stand alone, This conformity is yours to atone.

The slow mechanical heartbeat, losing contact with the living, Forging the prism of synthetic, corrupting the impressionable eyes of children.

Hypnotized by authority and brainwashed by austerity; Assembling the fragments of a deadpan design.

At what point do we stare blank with influenced belief,

Into a faceless construction of bones and flesh, Our reflection stands, open from the inside, To show us what advocate they let us believe.

Darken the room, Embrace the doom.

And thus they’ve said; Freedom is dead.

Dead. “Buy this, buy that…”

Dead. “Fear them, love them…”

Dead. “Believe me, they’re wrong…”

Hit the switch and sever the glass; Nothing can break, and let nothing transcend.

The rawness of the world and culture that exists.

Through the beating mechanical heart that speaks to tolerate, The all seeing hands of eruption and pain; Hands of corruption and hands of power, Hands of fatality, hands of juxtaposition, Grabbing my eyes and strangling my throat!

A censor on what matters; growth, contribution, and compassion, The world is burning, turning upside down from disbelief, Every corner, every crease; typifying conflict of two sides.

No one is ever right, no one has the answer, Stab the throats of those who really care, Let those sing, who thought they were right, But let those sink who yell loud enough to reap the rewards; Of pain and constriction to a deathly confliction of opinion and belief.

The hands of edifice and empowerment, advocating the movements, Waves that crash on the populous like a plane crashing into a mountain, A mountain of freedom and expression, of growth and idealism.

Censor the creative license to opinionate a crux of conviction.

A division between all forms of classification, Amputating the limb of an entirety.

The all seeing hands of a faithless entity strike a line of hate, Between friends, family, acquaintances, of distinction, To deliver a seed of fear-mongered uncertainty and incompetence, It germinates into a flesh-ridden cluster of immolated abhorrence.

Brothers against brothers, Sisters against sisters, It is a no-man’s land for how to think, I’ll take my chances in silence.

The slow mechanical heartbeat, losing contact with the living, Forging the prism of synthetic, corrupting the impressionable eyes of children.

Hypnotized by authority and brainwashed by austerity; Assembling the fragments of a deadpan design.

At what point do we stare blank with influenced belief, Into a faceless construction of bones and flesh?

Our reflection stands, open from the inside, To show us what advocate they let us believe.

Silence does not exist and never will, Silence cannot grow nor can it nurture.

Instead is noise, spreading like plague, It is visual clutter, behind our visors; Sitting comfortably, an image of forgery, It appears in your hands, and in your homes.

What we really care about is not what we care about; Hearts and hands are like clockwork, They tell us what is real; Yet, what we care about is pseudo-real.

151 CELEBRATING THE ARTS

Judas Antonio Baxter, Year 12 The frail figure of the skipper emerged from the Mercedes, glistening in the mid-February sun. Behind it, a battered trailer lay perched on the green grass of the Peppermint Grove foreshore. The skipper slowly made his way behind the Merc, unhooked the trailer, and dragged it and its cargo, a battered sailing boat, towards the cool embrace of the Swan.

I have sailed these rivers for many years. I know her rhythms, I hear her aches, I see her pain. And I know she’s dying. My relationship with the tempting mistress called the Swan has existed since boyhood.

I remember, as a young larrikin, being at these very shores. Around me, then, the sweet, enticing smell of the Peppermint trees cast a tempting aroma across the foreshore, as I sat there beside the Esplanade, pulling a dirty and ragged sail up the mast of my small Pelican, as the river sat there, its clear water beckoning. This was the heyday of the river, the Golden Age of the Swan. As a young boy, wandering down towards the water, I remember the euphoric buzz of activity all around me, as families sat and played upon the foreshore, celebrating life on its banks. Fish were abundant, the water clear from the plastic that has come to characterise the Swan River of today. As I pulled the Pelican into the water, a ritual I continue to this day, I felt only coarse sand amongst my toes, not the shattered remains of a half drunken VB or the discarded wrapper of a long gone Redskin.

The skipper finished his musings as the battered sail reached the top of the mast. He checked to make sure that its batons are fully popped, before clipping the flapping sail to the wooden boom, savouring its cracks and creaks as it protests against the weight of mother nature’s mighty breeze. “Morning, Brian!” yelled the skipper as a small balding man in the green overalls of the Fisheries Department walked slowly by, pushing a wheelbarrow filled with bottles and plastic. “Mornin’ J!” droned Brian as he stopped, catching his breath.

“Large load today?” asked the skipper, the excitement from his eyes somewhat dimming. “Na mate” replied Brian, “You think this is chockablock? Struth mate, I tell you, it’s like the world’s going mad!” The skipper nodded, covering a veil of shame that had fallen upon his face as he abruptly turned back towards the Pelican.

Ah, where was I? Ah yes, I look back fondly upon the river of old, its abundance and its health. When I sail atop the waters of the river today, I see only a shadow of the river I once knew, an empty husk. I see my river dying, strangled slowly. But I know why she is dying. I realise the damage my betrayal has done to my once pristine friend.

The shrieking of the boat as it groaned into the water and took float broke the thought of our lone skipper.

As the boat floated away, its skipper chased it across the shallows of the foreshore, seemingly walking on the water. He arrested the boat’s drift and climbed atop the small hull, sitting his arched frame on the starboard bench, as the boat slowly made its way into the middle of Freshwater Bay. It was only in the 80s when it started getting bad.

I remember the eve of the change quite clearly as suddenly the once white crescents of her waves were streaked with brown, the Swan’s once majestic dolphins lying dead, overturned with their fins out, as if they were nailed to a cross. The sweet smell of the water was replaced with a ghastly stench. The

152

Birds of Myanmar

By Jordan Bowling, Year 10 river began to fill with rubbish, and the bottom of Freshwater Bay, once filled with coarse, fine sand, was now mingled with the sharp edges of discarded VB bottles and bleached copies of The West Australian.

Families no longer congregated around the Swan’s now dirty shores, and as Perth began to expand, many people began to forget the beauty of the Swan. As man progressed, nature paid a heavy toll.

The boat rounded Chidley Point and a small tinny appeared beside. In it an old soul, with skin as loose as someone might be after a night out in Northbridge, sat hunched over a flaking fishing rod. “Morning Rod!” yelled the skipper, startling the old man into action. A wrinkled hand waved in sudden acknowledgement before returning back to the safety of the dilapidated rod. “Caught anything today?” shouted the skipper as the Pelican slowly passed behind the stern of the boat.

“Haven’t caught anything in 35 years, J!” shouted the old man back. “Maybe tomorrow!” The skipper flashed a tight smile, before turning his concentration back to the tiller, and continuing on his way.

I have reached an old age. My legs are not what they used to be, my skin no longer tight around my bones, and my consciousness clouded, much as the river is now. I feel responsible, responsible for my river’s death. It is a heavy burden to bear, and I feel I can only be unburdened by looking for forgiveness atop her waters. As a young man, I abandoned the river, and in doing so contributed to her destruction. I was blinded by my actions, but now I can see.

It was the 70s, a time of growth in our state. The buildings got higher, the roads longer, the music louder and the population larger. To cope with this, Perth needed to expand. I was qualified to help due to my training as an engineer, and, in Perth’s hour of reconstruction, I was drafted to assist in the expansion of the city. The only way to do this, I concluded, was to reclaim land on the foreshore. Over many months, thousands of tonnes of soil were dumped into the river. It clouded her, making her polluted. The water turned brown, the fish lay dead on the river banks, now deprived of the fishers, the families and the fun of my childhood. The river of my childhood, the river I had so admired, dead at my hands, through my betrayal of her.

I know I have sinned. I have done an awful deed. But I was young, I was blinded by ambition, but now I see the effects of my actions. But I know that if I can repent of these sins, and search for forgiveness in the river, she can, she may, forgive me. That is the hope I must hold on to.

The boat silently swept by Rocky Bay, its sails flapping, its nose waning towards the shore, its skipper lost in deep thought as the boat heeled and continued on its way. The waters silently lapped the side of the boat and as the skipper and his boat continued to sail in search of salvation, a host of bright silver fish leapt from the dead waters of the Swan, hundreds of them, piling and wriggling atop one another until the scratched hull of the Pelican was no longer visible.

Shocked, the skipper surveyed the withering mass of bright fish at his feet and as he looked, amazed by the sight before him, a glimmer of a hopeful smile widened across his weathered face.

Old. So old.

The creaking of the swing under my weight echoes the creaking inside me. The creaking of my weary joints, my eyelids like lead, pleading for rest. But if I sleep I may never awake. So I keep my days busy, tending to the garden in the day, finding refuge among the clean aroma of rosemary and thyme, dreading when I will succumb to the weariness that so utterly fills me. But a part of me longs for the rest; longs for an end to the pain I have endured. But that sickens me – so I keep it hidden beneath smiles and a merry face: a mask, hiding from others, and sometimes myself – so that I go on.

I have many memories of this garden, most of them pleasant – some of them not. It is a place of memories; a place I can sit and think and that, if nothing else, gives me peace.

This was my birthplace. I was born in the old red cottage at the top of the garden, but spent most of my early childhood years among the herb gardens and the swing where I am now. Hide and seek with my older siblings was my favourite game.

“Aya. Shhh! Don’t talk. They’ll hear us. I’m going to get you out.”

“Whaa...?” Aya rubs her eyes, squinting in the dim half-light of the torch hanging in a bracket on her stone cell wall.

“Yannik? What is..?”

“Shh! I told you, don’t talk. If they hear us they’ll kill me as well as you.”

A pause, as Yannik stuffs his hand down his shirt and draws out a small bundle of cloth.

“Here. I got you some food. Be quiet!” He hushes her in response to her gasp.

Yannik hands her the dirty cloth and pauses for a second, thinking. “Tonight. It has got to be tonight.”

Aya’s eyes widen, but she can’t talk through the mouthful of Yannik’s stale bread. Yannik takes this as agreement.

“Good. Here – I’m going to unlock your cage. How many times do I have to tell you? Be quiet!” Aya closes her mouth over her unvoiced disagreement.

Yannik opens the lock on the cell door. He winces at the click of the rusty metal. “Those bushes over there.

Wait for me there. Go!” Aya runs over the uneven, wet earth. She turns to look behind her, trips over a pothole, and falls flat on her face in the mud.

THUMP. Shouting in Burmese. A yell of alarm. More shouting.

Angry this time. No, not angry: furious. And another voice, trembling, pleading.

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. A piercing scream. More thumping. The scream breaks into sobbing. Deep, terrified sobs, and pleading, begging; begging for them to stop. But no, they don’t stop. Will not stop until the early hours of the morning. Then: a short bark, a command, a click, and a gunshot. Yannik is gone. My only friend gone, because I didn’t look where I was going.

ATHLETICS As any athlete on the day can attest to, there is no greater motivator than the grandstand full of friends and family, cheering every boy through to the line.

The Athletics season is, by far, the shortest sports season on the PSA calendar, however, this did not stop boys and staff from putting in hours of hard work and dedication.

Coming off one of the College’s most successful winter sports’ seasons, the team looked highly competitive in preparation for the Quads meet. Scotch again proved their dominance on the track and winning the day.

The day was a good display of the talent across all year groups and put the boys in a good frame of mind for the upcoming InterSchool Carnival.

The Carnival would prove to be a challenge for the team as we came up against very strong competition from Aquinas, Hale, and the other schools. It would end up being hotly contested between Scotch and Aquinas, as both schools battled it out in the final events of the day. After some hard fought relays, it was announced that Scotch was again successful in claiming the Alcock Shield. This 154

victory was shared by all who were present on the day: athletes, coaches, staff, parents, and supporters.

As any athlete on the day can attest to, there is no greater motivator than the grandstand full of friends and family, cheering every boy through to the line. The successes of the Scotch College Athletics team would also not have been possible without the support of the coaches and staff. They were at every training with the boys, on holidays, weekends, and in bad weather. The team is incredibly grateful for all of the expertise and the support they have shown, and I wish all members of the team good luck in future carnivals.

BADMINTON Scotch Badminton enjoyed a highly successful 2016 season, with the Firsts winning the Brother Kelly Cup for the first time and a number of other teams performing strongly. The number of boys playing Badminton has now exceeded 100.

This year was the second year that Scotch ran a Years 7, 8, 9 Badminton programme.

Whilst the boys still compete against only a few other schools, their improvement throughout the season was notable and by the end of it a couple of boys were training with the seniors.

Scotch fielded six senior teams. The Fifths and Sixths performed well, despite frequently competing against schools at a higher level. The Thirds and Fourths displayed improvement throughout the season, finishing first and third.

The Firsts season began with a tough draw as we were to face our two toughest opponents in the first two rounds. The team was determined to come away with Scotch’s

first Badminton trophy and subsequently began training in the holidays. First up was Hale, who are always tough competitors; we walked away with a tight 5-4 victory.

After building momentum against Hale we were facing the biggest challenge of the season, the strong Wesley side. Jordan Doull and Andrew Singh played tight singles matches and raised the score from 2-0 to 2-2, before Simon Ferreira dispatched his opponent at number five, putting Scotch in the lead. All eyes were on Rahuul Prassad in the last singles set as he began to fall behind, however, he battled his way back into contention, securing the victory 22-20 and putting Scotch ahead by 4-2. We then held our nerve in the doubles as we secured the one match needed to defeat Wesley.

The Seconds side suffered a narrow 5-4 loss to Wesley and didn’t get the chance for a rematch due to the long weekend. After these tough opening rounds, we cruised through the first half of the season with a perfect 9-0 score line. The second half of the season revealed improvement for us as we beat both Wesley and Hale 7-2. This meant that we had gone undefeated with 12 wins and no losses and won Scotch’s first ever Brother Kelly Cup. A special thanks to everybody who supported the team this year including: parents, staff, spectators, Coaches at each level, our new Coach, Ryan Lin; and Mr Ryan Foster, Coach and Manager.

BASKETBALL Through teamwork and undeniable determination, we were able to defeat Guildford and get Scotch’s first win for the season.

The 2015-2016 Scotch Basketball season didn’t have an optimal outcome, however, the Firsts team always fought for a win as if it would be their last game. We prepared for the season with a trip to America, which allowed us to become a stronger unit and closer friends, instead of just teammates; this was evident through our gameplay on the court.

Despite this opportunity for preparation we entered the PSA with a significant loss to Hale that obviously affected the team’s confidence. The following week was a tough fixture against Aquinas, which all of the boys knew would be a difficult game to win.

Aquinas entered the game strongly and only improved throughout it, securing our defeat.

At this point in the season the team’s morale was low and it began to show in the training sessions, however, we pulled together and began to train hard for the upcoming Wesley game. Unfortunately, this led to another defeat for Scotch and by this stage our chances at winning the Blackwood Cup were truly shattered. This didn’t deter us though; we were determined to put a win next to Scotch’s name. The Christ Church game was one we had been looking forward to

all season and there were promising signs throughout the game. However, in the last quarter Christ Church pulled away to seize the win from us.

With only two games left the boys were all desperate for a win and motivation was high.

A menacing Trinity fixture was next for us; their strength was too great and they took an early lead before eventually winning the game.

This loss left us with one last chance to end the season with a win against the Guildford team. Neither team had secured a win from the season going into the game so there was much more pressure on the boys to perform at their full potential.

Through teamwork and undeniable determination, we were able to defeat Guildford and get Scotch’s first win for the season. Despite our unfortunate result of five losses and one win, I believe we became closer as teammates and friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed leading and competing with all the boys in the squad.

CRICKET The key to moving forward is to keep these boys in Cricket, which shouldn’t be a problem judging by the results they produce and fun they have each week.

Scotch College Cricket experienced another successful season in 2015/16, with all players competing in a spirited manner across the year groups.

The Years 7s, 8s and 9s enjoyed plenty of success throughout the year. The most pleasing aspect was the fact that we fielded nine teams across these year groups, numbers matched only by Hale and Aquinas. The key to moving forward is to keep these boys in Cricket, which shouldn’t be a problem judging by the results they produce and fun they have each week. Thanks to Mark Gale, Nick Guard, James Bridle, Michael O’Day, Jason Riddle, Rob Pluske, Elliot Raiter, Pete Gasper and Toby Robinson for their efforts in coaching.

After some disappointing early results the Year 10s took the competition by storm, going undefeated with some stirring victories in the last four rounds. This was a sign of some hard work from a group of players that will transition seamlessly into the senior Cricket teams, and some great coaching from Dean Holder and Joseph Fitzgerald.

The mighty Thirds had an enjoyable season under the tutelage of Graeme Walter. This was a group of boys who went from wanting to learn the game to loving the game, and it was great to see them post a victory.

The Second XI had an extremely successful year, led wonderfully by their Year 12s and coach Alex Wood. They finished third on the table with victories over Christ Church, Wesley, Trinity, and Guildford.

The First XI started their Darlot preparation with a tour to Sydney to compete in the Presbyterian Schools Cricket Tournament, an experience that was enjoyed by the boys.

Throughout the season they trained hard and put all of their energies into each two-day fixture, finishing mid-table. Pleasingly, they had improved and had represented the College as terrific sportsmen.

Many thanks to coaches Mike Hirsch, Darren Mumford, Pete Wishart and Ted Wishart for all of their time and expertise. Finally, thanks must go to our Cricket parents for all of their hard work in helping out each week.

CROSS COUNTRY 2016 was a great year for Scotch’s senior Cross Country team.

With a team made up of countless talented runners across Years 7 to 12, we were a force to be reckoned with.

The season started off strongly, with highlights including defeating Hale and Guildford in the 5-kilometre races.

The award for Best Runner of the season went to a worthy Jack Williams, who ran an absolutely outstanding season, consistently finishing among the best Cross Country runners in the school. The Coach’s Award went to Campbell Miller, who pushed himself to his absolute limit during every race and training session throughout the season. Like many others, his commitment to the team was unwavering.

The younger years made up the ‘bread and butter’ of the 2016 Cross Country squad.

The sheer quantity of talent in the younger

years from the likes of Gregory McVicker and Tori Ghiselli in Year 7, Will Gordon and Sam Wake in Year 8, and Harry Gilchrist and Oscar Harold in Year 9, represented some of the most influential runners in the races both won and lost this season.

Furthermore, the extent to which particular members of the team improved throughout the season was superb; one example of a standout performer was Riley Smith, who improved his personal best time by a large margin. Although Scotch finished sixth overall in the PSA, this does not accurately reflect the amount of talent within the team, and if there had been fewer injuries or absences the outcome of the season could have been

dramatically different. With a larger squad in coming years, the Scotch College Cross Country team will be a serious contender.

As this year’s Captain, I would like to personally thank everyone who took part in the team for their ongoing commitment and positive attitude. Without the combined effort of every boy, Scotch would not have been able to do as well as it did this season. Also, I would like to make special mention of Mr Doney, who dedicated countless hours of his time toward making the team as strong as possible, and putting us in the best possible position for competition.

FOOTBALL The Scotch College Football programme continues to go from strength to strength after another incredibly successful season.

In particular, winning the prestigious Alcock Cup with Hale in a thrilling season.

With a younger squad and only a handful of boys who have had a taste at the top level, it was exciting to see how the year would unfold. After a strong preseason and a week-long trip to Melbourne, it became very obvious that we had some serious potential and the boys were itching to get on the park to face Hale in round one.

Despite a disappointing performance in the first fixture, the 19 boys that we had on debut now had a sense of the level of Football required. In the following weeks the boys really imposed themselves on the competition with clear highlights being a three-goal win against Aquinas, and a fourpoint thriller against Trinity.

The boys entered the second round of fixtures continuing their fine form and shocked Hale with a comfortable 30-point win before holding off a lively Wesley outfit before the winter break. The boys continued

to develop and improve their skills for the next two rounds and before they knew it, Trinity had knocked off the hot favourite, Aquinas, and we were playing for at least a share of the Alcock in the final round.

The first three quarters were nothing but an arm-wrestle; the momentum swung back and forth with the contest being mainly fought out of the middle. Coming into the final term, the boys managed to extend the margin out to over 50 points.

I would like to thank our assistant coaches, Matt Jahn, Nick Guard and Mark Gale, along with the parent-led SOFAS group, who have been critical to this year’s success. Coach Scott Siekierka must also be commended for the time, passion and energy that he has poured into Scotch Football. Without him, 2016 would have no doubt been a different season.

GOLF During the Spring and Summer Terms, twelve boys from Years 7-12 travelled to Cottesloe Golf Course each Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon to learn and practise at one of Western Australia’s most prestigious courses.

We received lessons on Mondays from pro-golfers Matthew Elliott and Bruce Hay, covering various areas of the game including: chipping, bunker play, putting, driving and overall etiquette. These lessons were extremely beneficial for all as the lessons were given both as a group and individually meaning that, regardless of skill level, each boy was given help to develop his game.

The boys then had to put what they had learned into practice on Wednesdays during sessions at the driving range and chipping areas. The great facilities at Cottesloe meant boys were able to work on all aspects of their game at a well maintained, elite course.

Friday afternoons allowed the students to test their game on the course and groups of three or four would usually get in nine holes after school if the course was available. This helped boys to learn about the game and how it is played, but also to put into practice the advice given by both Matthew Elliott and Bruce Hay.

To have such an association between Scotch College and the Cottesloe Golf Club was beneficial to students as they were able to drive five minutes up the road to practise and play at such a prestigious club. As Golf is a relatively new sport option for boys, such links are helpful to both and we certainly hope that it continues in the future.

Watching all students develop their own game extensively was exciting to see and the growing numbers of boys choosing to learn about this sport and take advantage of the great opportunities of playing at Cottesloe is encouraging for future years.

A big thank you must be given to Mr Jones for his wisdom and expertise, to the golf professionals, Matthew and Bruce, as well as the Cottesloe Golf Club for giving these twelve boys the opportunity to develop their Golf at the club.

The great facilities at Cottesloe meant boys were able to work on all aspects of their game at a well maintained, elite course.

HOCKEY The 2016 Hockey season began extremely promisingly with a combined tour to New Zealand with PLC. We played some remarkable hockey against a range of opponents, whilst also exploring a different culture in new surroundings. This tour was the catalyst for a fantastic season.

Plenty of boys took part in our senior programme, which yielded the most teams of any PSA school. First to Seventh teams participated in competition, with all sides improving over the course of the season.

The Firsts were impressive all season and finished second, losing only twice to eventual champions Aquinas. Scott Hughes took over as Coach and brought a new level of professionalism to the role. Peter Freitag fulfilled his role as Assistant Coach perfectly, conveying his passion and understanding of the game to the players. Strong victories over Christ Church and Hale were highlights in a solid year. Credit must go to Captain Matt Todd who led the boys superbly all year, with every fixture played in great spirit.

The Seconds and Thirds also had consistent seasons with top three finishes; many boys are now pressing for spots in the top teams.

The Year 9As were led terrifically by Ed Welch, who has had an instant impact on the boys’ abilities. They finished with one defeat

and tied at the top of the table with Hale. The rest of the Year 9 cohort worked well and finished the season strongly.

The 8As were coached by Peter Freitag, improving dramatically over the season to finish as one of the premier sides in the competition.

The B side was equally as talented, finishing in the top three under Matt Verryn.

The talented Year 7A side was coached by Damien Hansen. This side lost only a couple of games to finish a dominant team.

Thanks must go to all the coaches for a very successful year. I know the amount of work you put in and the boys and I are incredibly grateful. We look forward to having you on board next year.

The Parents Support Group was once again extraordinary in their assistance to the Hockey Programme, with particular mention to Michelle Todd whose tireless work behind the scenes was vital.

To the Year 12s, I hope you’ve enjoyed your journey with Scotch Hockey. This is a College with a proud Hockey tradition and you have all upheld this. I look forward to following your development in the years to come.

ROWING The 2016 Rowing season consisted of an eventful four months.

The season began with a tour to Albany at the end of October.

This tour is aimed at getting all boys back in the boat and rowing well together, as well as allowing the senior group to generate some mateship among the boys. The tour seemed successful in both of these aims, with a large number of boys generating a solid base for the remainder of the season, as well as being able to identify key areas that needed improvement.

At the end of the summer holidays we headed into Rowing Camp out at Champion Lakes. The week was hot and tiring with a few days reaching 40°C. Races among the senior group allowed crew changes to be made and improvements were shown. For the Year 9s, this was their first Rowing Camp and they got a good grasp of the culture within the

boatshed and they learned how hard rowing could be. The Year 10s showed plenty of determination as they were training alongside the senior crews and high expectations were held for this group.

This led us into the season of racing with a race each weekend. The standard of racing initially showed that we needed improvement and over the following weeks these improvements were made as we saw many Scotch crews climbing the ranks. This led us into the big day that we had spent the last four months training for: the Head of the River regatta.

The day had a moderate breeze and for most races, crews in lanes closest to the

spectators had the advantage over the field.

This made it hard for Scotch crews in the lanes on the western side of the course to be competitive. To summarise, we saw some crews achieve personal best finishes for the season whilst for others, the race did not reflect the training that had been put in. That is the beauty of a sport like this; you can have seven schools train equally as hard but, at the end of the day, each race can only have one winner.

Well done to the boys who raced and I encourage them to use whatever results they achieved to motivate themselves next year.

RUGBY Season 2016 began with a tour to Melbourne, which provided a key opportunity for players to show how they had developed over the preseason.

The PSA season kicked off against Hale at home and was a game that many of the boys had been dreaming of for a number of years. The preseason work, and chemistry developed on the Melbourne Tour, enabled us to win this first match 17-7.

By the end of the first round we found ourselves undefeated after beating Trinity College 40-8. Shortly afterwards, however, we found ourselves behind on the scoreboard against Hale in the opening game of round two. On one of the wettest days of the year Scotch fought back valiantly to turn around a 12-0 half-time deficit and, despite numerous close calls and disallowed tries, the game finished with honours even after a titanic battle.

On the final Saturday we welcomed Trinity for the fixture that would be a season defining game. In an intense battle, Trinity threw everything at the Scotch line and took an early lead in a contest where the lead changed hands on several occasions. Scotch finally overcame the Trinity assault to record a convincing 47-26 victory and claim the Brother Redmond Cup. The 2016 season for the Rugby Club was very successful: 173 boys donned their rugby shirts; we hosted the inaugural PSA Rugby Indigenous game against Guildford, the creation of Lachlan Phillips; and we again provided the lion’s share of players for the Barbarians team. The Year 8 and Second XV teams recorded perfect seasons, the Year

9 team achieved their first victory, the Year 10 team finished the season strongly, and a number of boys made their First XV debuts.

We would like to extend our thanks to: the coaches, including Mr Alex Wood and Mr Justin Creighton; Head of Rugby, Mr Gareth Williams; Mr Richard Foster and the grounds staff for all their efforts; and to all of our parents for their unwavering support. To all Year 12 players, thank you for your efforts over the last five years; it has been a privilege to play alongside you.

We wish all teams the very best of luck for next year.

SAILING 2016 was another amazing year for Scotch Sailing as our winning streak continued.

Over forty boys from Years 7 to 12 were involved in the programme.

Once again, Scotch entered three teams in the State Regatta; over twenty teams from around the state competed for the shield. Our A team did not lose a single race and won the championship for the second consecutive year.

The B team came a respectable third to a much improved Christ Church Grammar A Team, and our C team, consisting mostly of Years 7-9 boys, finished in the middle of the pack.

The outstanding results in the State Regatta meant that two Scotch teams qualified for the Australian Secondary Schools Team Racing Championship. Unfortunately, we were not able to assemble a competitive team for this regatta due to other sailing commitments.

2016 was the first year that the new fleet of Scotch yachts was used for all training sessions; it made a significant difference to have our own boats. The boats have also been extensively used by the College’s Marine Studies Programme.

Our successes on the water would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our coaches: Will Boulden, Doug Campbell, Liam Seagreen, Cameron Seagreen, George

Boulden and Emerson Carlberg. These Old Scotch Collegians trained the boys with precision and determination. In particular, I would like to thank Doug Campbell who leaves us after many years of service as a coach and team member. We all wish Doug well as he leaves university and enters the workforce. Thanks also to team managers Mrs Hodgson and Mrs Fugill for their support of the boys during the year.

This year our Captain was Andrew Briggs, a natural leader. Andrew led by example, never missing a training session, helping younger boys and facilitating winning strategies.

Andrew was also awarded Honours for Sailing and I congratulate him for this thoroughly deserved award. We are already looking forward to seeing Andrew join our coaching team in 2017.

Our A team did not lose a single race and won the championship for the second consecutive year.

I would like to extend a big thanks to our Sailing support coordinator, Mrs Rachael Torre, and all of the parents who supported the boys during the season, in particular during the regatta by providing delicious and nutritious meals for the boys and staff.

SOCCER Throughout the year groups, the Soccer boys have had an outstanding season.

The Year 7s, who completed their first year of PSA Soccer, managed to win in the A division, whilst the other teams also had extremely strong performances, finishing second in both the Bs and Cs. The Year 8s finished a respectable fourth in the A division whilst the other Year 8 teams also performed admirably. The Year 9s had a strong season finishing second by a narrow margin in the A division, and overall the boys came third with the addition of the B and C teams. The Year 10s had a particularly good season with the A team finishing second, as well as achieving a second place overall.

highlights for the season. Goalkeeper Teo Brown had a particularly amazing season with several standout performances. The boys came out determined to win in their final fixture, despite having no cup to play for anymore. Up against Trinity, who had held the top of the table position for the majority of the season, some solid defending combined with a strong attacking performance led to the boys coming away with a 2-0 win.

In the senior teams the Fourths, Fifths, Sixths and Sevenths all had good seasons, accruing a mere four losses between the teams, all of which placed first on their respective ladders.

The Thirds team placed third on their table, and the boys in the Seconds had a solid season, coming fifth with a notable win against top of the table team Christ Church.

In the Firsts, the boys started the season strongly with a 2-0 win over Hale, with strong performances against Christ Church, Hale and Trinity in the second round proving to be 166

SURFING From the outstanding success of Scotch’s Surfing programme over the past several years, and the talent of boys and coaches at our disposal, it was safe to say that there was a feeling of excitement from everyone involved heading into the 2016 winter season.

With the continuation of the coaching of juniors and seniors taking place, the boys tested themselves in a range of conditions, cultivating their depth of skill and experience.

The 2016 Inter-House Competition was held at Scarborough in somewhat challenging conditions due to the lack of size and frequency of waves on hand. Despite the difficult conditions the boys competing gave it their all with some outstanding displays of surfing and bodyboarding. Congratulations to Brisbane and Shearer for winning.

The PSA Competition saw the boys competing at South Scarborough, the training ground for the seniors, with fantastic

A huge thank you to the coaches and staff who helped the boys this year, especially Mr Rugg (Head of Surfing) and Mr Bycroft who sacrificed a lot of time and energy for the Surfing programme. Thank you to the parents tasked with the gruelling early morning drop-offs and late pick-ups. Finally, thank you to the all the surfers and bodyboarders who competed this year; your hard work and commitment did not go unnoticed. I wish the Scotch Surfing team all the best in the years ahead.

four to six-foot peaks on offer. With Scotch beating Hale the previous year by only one point, there were no misconceptions that defending the cup would be an easy feat.

The junior surfers and bodyboarders put together an exceptional performance, with both teams only narrowly finishing in second place behind rivals Hale. The senior surfers fought hard against an extremely skilled Hale side with Scotch once again narrowly finishing second behind Hale. The senior bodyboarders put in a fantastic performance allowing Scotch to finally snatch a first place.

Overall, the 2016 Scotch College Surfing team put in a tremendous effort on the day resulting in a final position of second.

SWIMMING The heated competition for the prestigious accolade saw an increase in race intensity and further personal bests were recorded throughout the night.

The establishment of a regular Swimming Club at the Scotch pool has resulted in a growth in fitness and skill throughout the Swimming team. It has laid the foundation for further development in upcoming years in what is the longest sporting season at School due to the early commencement of training in Winter Term. The level of dedication and training saw numerous personal bests achieved at various swim meets held at Penrhos and St Hilda’s in the lead up to the Inter-House Swimming Carnival. This provided an opportunity for all students to hold a time to their name.

Soon after, the team found themselves back at the pool’s edge, competing against their peers in an effort to secure the title of Champion Boy for their respective year groups. The heated competition for the prestigious accolade saw an increase in race intensity and further personal bests were recorded throughout the night. Special mention goes to Matthew Khowira who, in five consecutive years since he commenced at Scotch College, has been awarded Champion Boy. 168

Our next challenge for the season was the Quads, in which the Scotch Swimming team had the opportunity to test their abilities against Wesley, Christ Church and Trinity.

Despite placing fourth, one could not fault the level of effort and personal improvement shown by the team members. With the Inters, the final swim meet of the year, a mere seven nights away, the Scotch Swimming team’s commitment and training efforts resulted in an even greater number of personal best times.

The apex of the Swimming season was a night to remember. The cumulative effect of many hours of training and hard work saw a record number of personal best times and, despite being placed sixth, the night was undoubtedly a success that paid homage to the team’s efforts. The strength of the younger students and the growth of the Scotch Swimming community are indicative of future success and I wish them well in the coming years.

TENNIS Coming into the 2016 Corr Cup season, the Scotch First VIII had high expectations as we had gone undefeated in the Spring Term fixtures.

As the only team left in the PSA who nominated grass as their home surface, the boys worked hard to refine their grass court skills. This hard work reaped rewards in the opening fixture. We beat the relatively strong Hale School outfit 20-4, with particularly strong singles wins to Chris Lawrence and Ben Mahon.

Next we travelled to the Aquinas hard courts to battle a youthful, yet very talented, team.

At the break the scores were extremely tight; we only held a two-set lead, however, we claimed all four top order doubles sets and 5/8 bottom four singles sets to finish with a strong 16-8 win.

The following match saw us return to our home courts without our Number 2 (Rigby Dowland), Number 3 (Harry Burrell), and Number 8 (Angus Campbell) due to injury.

However, we coped, claiming a 21–3 victory.

Round four pitted us against our main cup contenders, Christ Church. Christ Church was the fixture on everyone’s minds from the first day of the season. In their opening games Christ Church barely broke a sweat winning at least 20 sets in each one. We rallied together, but despite the boys’ valiant efforts, we eventually fell in a 13–11 loss in 170

some of the highest quality Tennis the Corr Cup competition has seen for years.

Despite thinking about how close we’d come, we continued to enjoy our Tennis and played at a high level, defeating Trinity 16 – 8 at home and capping off our season with a triumphant 23–1 win. This left us second at the end of the season, which is an effort about which the boys can hold their head high.

Thanks must go to: Tim Inglis, who stepped in as interim Coach; our permanent Coach, Guy Eddington; and Reverend Chas Lewis, who managed the First VIII team.

Congratulations must also go to the other senior teams and Coaches as both the Second VIII and the Third VIII finished their seasons in second place. The Years 7–10 teams also had successful seasons ending in positive win-loss ratios. Particular mention must go to 9As, 9Bs, 7As, 7Bs and 7Cs who went undefeated throughout the season.

Good luck to all the Tennis teams next season.

TOUCH RUGBY The 2016 Touch Rugby teams continued to build on their inaugural season. The School fielded three teams, two of which played in the youth competition and one the Men’s Division 1 at Rosalie. The Firsts team played in a very competitive tournament with experienced opposition.

We began the season with many new players still grasping the basics of the sport, but all teams became more competitive as the season wore on. The early stages saw the Firsts team go down in tight games as we lacked the composure to finish off set piece plays. As players gained confidence in their new sport, all teams saw an improvement in gameplay. Key playmakers Lewis Walker and Lachie Phillips found their way to the score line on a regular basis for the Firsts team, with significant support coming from new players.

As the season progressed so did the team, with more of the close games starting to turn our way. Key to this change of events was the

application of our main strengths, our speed and agility, to the game more consistently.

New players Blair Cull and Mike Youngleson injected considerable speed into the side, allowing us to gain territory up the field. These two were well supported by other new players Lachlan Parker and Harley Waddell who, through their ability to sidestep other players, put points on the board. Structure was well kept in the middle through Year 12s Martin Gallagher and Will Cusack, as well as Year 10s Connor O’Sullivan and Lewis Bradbury, proving that a background in Rugby was beneficial.

A very special thank you must go out to all of the staff members involved in this year’s

Touch Rugby season; Michael Beatty for coaching the Firsts team for his second year; Mr Hildebrandt with the ‘Hackers’; and Mr Hales coaching the ‘Heroes’, as well as organising the team rosters and games outside of the Rosalie competition. Everything that you have done to enable us to have this opportunity is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to seeing the team continue to progress as, based on this year’s performance, the School has a very promising future in the sport.

TRIATHLON The 2016/17 Spring Term Triathlon session started with great enthusiasm from all of the team members.

With thanks to our two Triathlon coaches, Mr Lawrence Felgate and Mrs Karen Woods, all of the boys transitioned swiftly from the winter sport season into the hard cross-training required for the start of a Triathlon season.

College with great pride and competed both hard and fairly. A special mention goes out to Greg McVicker who placed fourth in the Junior Boys Division and will hopefully qualify for the state team in the 2017 season.

The season started off with a training camp at Rottnest during the first weekend of Spring Term. The weekend consisted of swimming training on Friday, cycling and running training on Saturday, and a training race on Sunday morning, which was well raced by all of the boys who were involved. This weekend was a great start to the season and one that all of the boys were very appreciative of, and which we hope we will be able to participate in again next year.

Throughout the rest of the term the team competed in the charity ride Tim’s Memorial Ride, the Cottesloe Cold-water Classic swim and the Power Station Triathlon. All of these events were successful competitions for the entire squad.

The first race of the session was the State Schools’ Triathlon, which saw some very competitive racing across all divisions.

All members of the team represented the

Again, thanks go out to both of our coaches from the whole Triathlon team. We all wish Mr Lawrence Felgate all the best for his term away from Scotch. He will be missed by the squad but we are also looking forward to being coached by Mrs Karen Woods for the second half of the season.

The commencement of the 2016 fixtures saw our potential turn to reality with a 3-1 win against Hale in which the contributions of Alex Crump and Fraser Cull couldn’t go unnoticed. The two Vice-Captains of School demonstrated that they could do more than just sit on stage during assembly, delivering dominant performances to seal the victory.

A 3-1 loss to a strong Aquinas team was a real blow to the spirits of the team. Remaining hopeful, we went into our third fixture of the year optimistic and determined to beat the consistently dominant Wesley team. This game saw the return of Patrick Triglavcanin to Scotch College as Assistant Coach, replacing Cameron Dudfield who had found a full-time teaching role in Geraldton. We dropped the first two sets but after some words of advice from the fledgling Coach we demonstrated our physical prowess with big plays from James Mandzufas, who had his work cut out for him against the 6’6” Wesley middle hitter,

The rest of the season was filled with ups and downs due to the absences of some players, a shoulder injury to Alex Crump, and a strained ligament experienced by James Pasterino. The team finished in fourth place with three wins and three losses.

I’d like to commend Patrick Triglavcanin, Cameron Dudfield and Justin Creighton on their commitment to the team. To the boys, I hope you continue to play and enjoy the game. To anyone considering taking up the sport, I highly recommend it; you will find out there is more to Volleyball than just what happens in Physical Education.

WATER POLO It was an excellent season from the Firsts Water Polo team in 2016, however, one game proved all too costly and we finished equal second.

With a balanced and experienced team there was a strong sense that this was going to be our year and this translated into some professional performances in the fourth term when we remained undefeated. This term saw the addition of new Year 10s into the squad and Coach Peter Tresise was able to implement and practise our systems and plays for the season.

We started our Dickinson Shield campaign off well with a comfortable win against last year’s winners Hale, however, our one costly loss for the season came in the following week against a skilled Aquinas squad.

At a time when it would have been easy to drop our heads, we showed great spirit to continue on in our campaign. This resilience was most evident in round four against cross-town rivals Christ Church. With six of our original thirteen squad members missing from the Firsts team, we came back from two goals down in a nail-biting seven-all draw.

With many younger boys being selected in Australian and Western Australian representative teams, the talent in the pool at 174

Scotch College continues to grow. I’m certain that with the continued support from the community around us, Scotch College Water Polo will secure the Dickinson Shield.

The Seconds team also had a breakout year with new coach Fraser Smith taking over the reins. The growing depth of Water Polo talent at Scotch was evident as boys provided pressure in spots and further drove the performance of our Water Polo team.

It has been a pleasure donning the maroon and gold cap and playing for Scotch each week. I would like to thank all the coaching staff for ensuring our competitiveness and success. To the parents: your work out of the water, whether it be waking us for training or supporting us at the games, does not go unnoticed. On behalf of the leaving Scotch College Water Polo players, thank you for the many great years and I look forward to watching the bright future of Water Polo at Scotch.

50 MILE WALK We set off motivated and inspired, naive to the magnitude of the 17-hour trip ahead.

On the 19th of August, twenty-one boys from Anderson, Stuart and Shearer Houses embarked on a mission of unimaginable hardship, a voyage that would leave them throbbing and aching for weeks to come.

This was a journey stepped by many Scotch boys before them: to walk 50 miles (or 80 kilometres) in one day.

This expedition of self-accomplishment began at 7:00am sharp, two weeks prior at the compulsory practice walks, when the Scotch boys and PLC girls sacrificed their Sunday morning slumber to walk 10 and 15 miles respectively. It quickly became apparent that this was going to be no walk in the park; Ms Evans’ expeditious pace left even the fittest members of the group lying lifeless at the discouragingly infrequent stops.

Nonetheless, forty-one of the Scotch and PLC students found themselves woken up at 3:15am by Captain of Music Lewis Weeda playing ‘Pumpkin’s Fancy’ on the bagpipes.

Thanks to the advice of Mrs Bermingham, most of the walkers had mummified their feet in Fixomull in an attempt to prevent blisters.

We set off motivated and inspired, naive to the magnitude of the 17-hour trip ahead.

The pain struck around the half-way mark, which we belatedly realised was the total distance of our practice walks. I am not a fan of surrendering to hyperbole, but it really felt like the most painful moment of our lives.

However, it wasn’t long until we were singing songs to distract ourselves from the pain that left some of us literally carrying others; we managed to push forward and complete the journey arm-in-arm to ‘Scotland the Brave’.

The walk gifted me with new friendships, sore muscles, a green water bottle labelled ‘50Mile Walk PLC/Scotch 2016’ and a sense of accomplishment that I have yet to experience again. I would like to say a special thank you to Ms Evans, Mr Galipo, Mr Andrews, Mrs Enfield-Kirk and Mr Cordner for their support.

Despite the unimaginable pain and moments of hopelessness, I can proudly say that we walked 50 miles in one day. No sweat.

BIBBULMUN TRACK Inlet Road to Peaceful Bay On the first day we took the long bus ride out to Walpole, or Inlet road to be specific.

The rain started to come down on us just as we got out and put our bags on; this may have seemed like a minor problem to the guys smart enough to bring their rain jackets, unlike Mr. Bradley who got influenced not to bring his raincoat. Rookie error.

As we marched on the whole 6km to our hut, some mud soon halted us. This may seem like a small problem which it was for the start, until the group found no way through, and had to walk through mud and water for nearly 1km, and once again, Mr. Bradley made a rookie error – leaving his waterproof shoes in the resupply, resulted in him having wet shoes for the next two days. That afternoon, we trekked up to a rock formation which overlooked some spectacular scenery, but not as spectacular as Luke Gollan and Angus Campbell’s filming of their new TV series, “All Bib Track Adventures” (coming soon to Channel 10 in 2017).

176

After long hours of walking the next day, we soon reached the beach. It was a huge milestone for us all, and it made us realise that we were so close to the end.

The next day we were rewarded with a night in Walpole, staying at Mr. Peck’s place (old Head of Boarding), and were rewarded with a BBQ dinner, bacon and eggs the next morning and many rounds of furious, unforgiving UNO, where the self-proclaimed 1992 schoolboys’ champion, Mr. Bradley, couldn’t catch a break as Oli Harding continuously beat him down with Plus 2’s, and any other cruel mechanism he could use.

For the final day, our walk was mainly on large rocky hills and the beaches of Peaceful Bay and surroundings, as we saw the happiest thing, as well as the saddest thing – the ROSA bus. As we were happy to leave, we weren’t as happy to get on a small bus that we believed would break down at any moment. Which it did – with a ‘blow out’ between Kojonup and Williams.

Just 10 minutes away from Pete Morrell, the bus driver refused to take my advice of calling my dad, or our neighbours for assistance – which was then rendered to be, useless, just like the RAC guy. Luckily Hal and Shelley Klug came to the rescue with burgers, juice and Hal’s tools to get us back on the road.

The trip was an amazing experience for us all and with only 7 days left of the track, we are all determined to finish. I strongly encourage all boys to complete the Bibbulmun Track.

Staying at the Scots College boarding house, the boys were treated to stunning views over the bay.

CANBERRA TOUR Our tour started with a large group of Year 9 Scotch students making their bleary-eyed way to the domestic airport at 6.00am, our bags packed with thermals and bulky puffer jackets.

The four-hour flight to Canberra was good fun, except for the accidental loss of luggage for one boy, and upon arrival we settled into the Gold Creek Hotel for a couple of nights.

In the first fixture of the Tour, we played an enthralling two-day game over the weekend that came right down to the last over. In the end Scotch College 2/181 and 5/96, and Newington College 111 and 168. We fell just three runs short of an outright victory.

The game was played in terrific spirit and the boys enjoyed playing a quality opposition who were fantastic hosts.

Monday marked the beginning of the Presbyterian Schools’ Cricket Tournament, which was to run through until Friday. The first day consisted of two T20 fixtures against Brisbane Boys’ College and Scotch College Melbourne; unfortunately, we came away with two losses for the day.

The following day brought some amazing experiences including visits to the High Court, Old Parliament, Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial. The War Memorial was a very touching experience as we reflected on those who had fought and died for our country. That afternoon, we set off to the Australian Institute of Sport for an informative and interesting tour of the facilities. There was another early wake-up call the next day, we took a two-hour bus ride to Jindabyne and our hostel for the coming days. We were greeted by sub-zero temperatures as we loaded up from head to toe with ski gear ready for the next day’s action.

Game 1: BBC 6/81 (18.4 overs) defeated SC 5/79 Game 2: SM 66 defeated SC 50

The next morning we slipped into our jackets and pants (no such thing as too many layers) and were off on the 20-minute bus ride to the ski tube. The ski tube was an entertaining experience as we travelled through the mountain to our destination of Blue Cow, Perisher. Each day (four days in total) we arrived at 8.00am and had ski or snowboard lessons for two hours. These were great as some boys were being introduced to the sport, while others were carving up the kamikaze run on the first day. We then had the opportunity to free ski in groups of four or more for the rest of the day. This was awesome fun as boys demonstrated what they had been learning in their lessons.

Thursday we squared off in the Scotch Derby against Scotch College Melbourne, a fixture many of the boys had been marking down as a must-win for bragging rights. Fittingly, a terrific game of cricket took place that came down to the last over but unfortunately, they managed to chase down our total with three balls to spare.

After four long, hard days of skiing, we finally packed our bags and returned to Canberra for our 5.00pm flight back to Perth. The teachers decided that, in light of our impeccable behaviour, we could see a quick movie before departure. All-in-all, the Canberra Tour was an amazing experience and all the boys thoroughly enjoyed their time in both historical Canberra and on the slopes of Perisher.

On Tuesday the boys had a well-earned rest day. We were able to experience the Sydney Opera House, as well as Sydney Harbour Bridge, from a great viewpoint on the ferry en route to the CBD for some shopping.

50-over fixtures began on the Wednesday and our wonderful hosts, Scots College Sydney, didn’t take it easy on us as they raced to a nine-wicket victory.

Sydney’s fickle weather brought us unstuck on Friday. We experienced 40°C one day and a rainy 25°C the next so we took the opportunity to hit the indoor gym for some valuable training.

On the last Saturday of the Tour we travelled out of the city to the picturesque Barker College for a 40-over game. We were able to finish off the Tour on a high with a great win: Scotch College (149) defeated Barker College (51).

A couple of off-field highlights included two thrilling games of cricket at the SCG: one T20 match in which the Sydney Thunder made over 200 runs, and the ODI in which India won in the final over.

FOOTBALL TOUR With only a handful of boys who had previously been involved with the senior Football programme at Scotch, the Tour came as a welcome week for an eager squad of 44 boys looking to make an early impression. The group departed Perth on April 7th ready for an intense week where they would get to know the boys they would play alongside, in addition to enjoying the sights and sounds of Melbourne.

The boys walked off the plane into a light skills session on the banks of the Yarra in preparation for their first game against the renowned Geelong Grammar. Following an anxious hour-long bus ride, the boys arrived at what looked like Hogwarts and launched into their first game as a group. With development being the focus of the Tour, the scoreboard wasn’t the primary focus, yet the Scotch boys flew out of the blocks and really took it to a well-drilled and polished Geelong side. From the outset, the boys hunted the footy and really imposed themselves physically, which was a positive sign for the season’s prospects. Unfortunately, the boys were beaten with a kick after the siren, but the news that they were heading to the Geelong sea baths was even more devastating.

Despite a few of the boys waking up sore the next morning, they had to reset for their NAB Challenge-style games against Xavier College and Aquinas. Having been competitive with Geelong the previous day, the boys were nothing short of stunned when Stephen Silvagni’s 15-year-old son kicked a bag of four within the first quarter. The Xavier outfit was quite impressive, but it was a good opportunity for the Scotch boys to benchmark themselves against one of the country’s best school teams.

Notwithstanding the grim news that the backend of the Tour would consist of some taxing training sessions, the boys also had the unique opportunity to tour Essendon’s Tullamarine facilities and partake in a conditioning session at Waverley Park. Yet, most boys would agree that watching two premiership contenders, the Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn, battle it out at Etihad Stadium was a clear highlight of the Tour.

A massive thanks must be given to coach Scott Siekierka for organising the Tour, and to Nick Guard and Matt Jahn for all of their help throughout the week. The trip undoubtedly proved that 2016 was going to be an exciting year for Scotch Football.

HOCKEY TOUR The Scotch/PLC Hockey Tour had a new destination in 2016, with the 16 boys and 16 girls jetting off to New Zealand for the first time. An exciting 11 days is exactly what followed, as terrific Hockey was played, great sightseeing adventures were had and life-long friendships were formed.

We touched down in Auckland on April 10th and immediately hockey was the main focus as the two schools mixed together for our first training session of the trip. Scotch took on Westlake Boys’ High School in their first fixture, coming away with a sensational 3-1 victory in a fast-paced match. The following day Scotch went down 2-1 to Counties Manukau in a close contest.

Auckland provided countless activities for the boys to partake in including a harbour cruise, a training session with Alex Grant (New Zealand Black Stick), and trips to Kiwi House (bird sanctuary) and the Auckland Sky Tower.

Hamilton was our next stop as we took on the top New Zealand school, St Paul’s; unfortunately, the boys went down 1-0 in our best performance of the Tour. The highlight of this stop was the Hobbiton Tour, where we had the chance to visit the movie set from The Lord of the Rings. The group also took part in a traditional Maori experience, which included learning to do the haka and enjoying a ‘hangi’ feast. We then visited the pungent Thermal Wonderland in Rotorua, and explored the Waitomo Glowworm Caves.

The Tour concluded back in Auckland playing in the North Harbour Schools’ Tournament, where we remained undefeated.

Scotch took on Kristin School in our final match, running out convincing winners 8-0.

I would like to acknowledge the staff who gave up their holidays to provide this amazing experience: Scott Hughes, who coached the boys superbly throughout the trip; Peter Freitag, who gave terrific support throughout from both a coaching and staff perspective; and Kobie McGurk and Chantelle James from PLC, with their tireless efforts in organising a successful Tour. I look forward to continuing Scotch and PLC’s relationship in the years to come.

RUGBY TOUR The 2016 Scotch College Rugby season started early for the 27 boys who travelled to Melbourne in the April holidays.

INDONESIAN TOUR

Sunday morning sessions were run during Term 1 to prepare us for the four games that were to be played there. Upon arrival, we were designated rooms in a way that allowed people who played in similar positions to get to know each other that little bit better, which would hopefully improve the team’s unity on and off the field.

The activities that the boys participated in fell under three categories: physical challenges such as mountain biking, high ropes courses, and paintball; cultural discovery, including learning to make batik cloth, traditional dancing and playing the gamelan; and, of course, language learning, which included a three-day intensive course at the Sanata Darma University in Yogyakarta. The boys also visited world famous sites such as the ancient Borobudur temple, a world heritage site, Mount Bromo, where pipe major Charles Barblett played the bagpipes, and the kraton, the palace of the Sultan of Yogyakarta.

The boys were filled with nerves and excitement coming into their first game against Xavier College; the team’s ability was uncertain and expectations were high. Nonetheless, the boys put on a respectable performance for their first run as a team, beating the Xavier boys 58-10. This win gave the boys a significant confidence boost leading into the game against Melbourne Grammar. A second victory of 62-12 showed promising signs for a team which was beginning to grow.

The Scotch College Melbourne game brought great pressure with it as the boys looked to prove themselves to their counterparts from the east. The opportunity to play alongside a great group of young men on such a beautiful field was grasped in both hands as the maroon and gold hit the field. Although Scotch Melbourne had the first strike, scoring close to our posts, the boys collected themselves and went on to win 65-12.

Our final game of what had been an amazing tour was against Geelong Grammar, whose picturesque playing fields rested alongside the historic campus. The final game brought a series of challenges as coaches Mr Woods and Mr Creighton announced the team; many were playing in new positions on the field.

Geelong brought a physical style of game that truly tested the team’s mental strength, particularly as they adjusted to new positions and combinations. A hard-fought struggle between both teams saw Geelong kick a penalty overtime to seal an 11-10 win.

What was initially a bitter pill to swallow may have, in fact, been a blessing in disguise as the boys returned home knowing they weren’t invincible, but certainly had what it took to bring home the Redmond Cup once again in 2016.

The Indonesian Tour was a life-changing experience for various reasons for each of the participating boys, three Year 11 students and four Year 12s. The Tour lasted over two weeks in April and was located at Kaliandra Sejati, an eco-resort in Prigen, East Java, and in the historic, yet cosmopolitan, city of Yogyakarta.

The most transformative experiences for the boys, however, were not those at tourist destinations, or those involving highoctane activities, or even those that allowed them to polish their Indonesian language skills, although the trip certainly afforded the boys with a unique opportunity for the latter. Rather, the most life changing moments for the boys came with the personal interaction they had with the people they met on the journey.

For instance, they had the singular experience of staying overnight at a pesantren, or Islamic boarding school, where they encountered teenagers of their own age from very different cultural and religious backgrounds. It was more than a chance to apply their Indonesian skills; it was a window into life beyond the boundaries of Scotch and into the lives of others who were so different but yet so similar. This encounter was not the only one they had during the Tour. Each connection they made with every Indonesian that they met, both young and old, regardless of social status or religion, served to enrich the boys’ perspectives on life and the way they view their world. The seven boys that went on the journey to Kaliandra and Yogyakarta may never visit those places again, but I am sure that those places will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

PHILOSOTHON WORLD SCHOLAR’S CUP The World Scholar’s Cup is an international contest that aims to scholastically enrich students. The competition “celebrates the joy of learning” whilst exploring the theme ‘An Imperfect World’.

Teams of three students compete at their regional round and their knowledge of this material is assessed over two days through the four contest formats of: • Collaborative Writing (test-condition essays) • Debating (impromptu) • Scholar’s Challenge (a 120-question exam on the six topics) • Scholar’s Bowl (a collaborative, live quiz-night) The event has proven to be a powerful opportunity for Scotch College students to showcase their intellectual and cooperative prowess in recent years. In fact, the significant enthusiasm and remarkable outcomes of Scotch participation culminated in The World Scholar’s Cup selecting Scotch College to host this year’s regional round. Following a spectacular home performance, select teams progressed to the next stage – a multinational competitive conference held in Bangkok with over 4000 participants.

Even amongst impressively steeper opposition our boys, through robust commitment, achieved individual and team results that were nothing of short of outstanding, including: • Lewis Orr (Year 9) placed second overall in the Junior Division out of over 2000 students • Rafe Harrison-Murray (Year 10) placed in the top 12 students of the Scholar’s Challenge • Junior team consisting of Felix Jones, Harry Pasich and Lewis Orr placed ninth overall However, such accolades are ultimately indicative of a greater, fundamental impetus – the scholastic motivation and collaborative might exhibited (with some comparative calibre, one might add) by the Scotch College students. Sincerest credit is thus rightly attributed to the efforts Mr Sam Sterrett, Dr McEwan and Ms Deborah Mullin (amongst other staff), without whom such a rewarding and unforgettable experience would not have been possible.

Can a robot be a conscious? This was one of many questions that the Scotch philosophy team had to contemplate at the 2016 Australasian Philosothon. With months of preparation and high optimism for good results, the team rose bright and early for a flight to Brisbane on the 25th of September. On-board the flight were James Naylor-Pratt (Y12), Austin Bantock (Y11), Felix Jones (Y10), Darcy Frazer (Y10), Lewis Orr (Y9), Lucas Triglavcanin (Y9), our two newest recruits Will Steinberg (Y8) and Sam Wake (Y8), and our two knowledgeable coaches, Mr Sam Sterrett and Dr Rob McEwan.

Upon arrival in Brisbane, we got our first taste of philosophy in the form of a lecture on the value of thinking together by Dr Peter Ellerton. He gave us a good insight into the value of philosophy in the modern age. With our minds warmed up and ready to think, we entered our first practise community of inquiry for the tournament and tackled our first question: is beauty in the eye of the beholder? At the completion of this first community of inquiry, the real fun began. All teams were invited into a classic game of Bullhunt, where we traversed the grounds of the host school, Church Grammar School, finding logical fallacies to unpack using logical, philosophical thought.

Our next day was filled with fierce competition against the 10 other schools from around the country with the following topics: Is there such a thing as innate knowledge? What is justice? Can science answer moral questions? And finally, can a robot be conscious? After a full day of collaborative thinking and inquiring the boys were spent and quickly headed off to bed, but not before a philosophical inquiry into the movie Inside Out. Our final day began with a talk from Dr Gil Burgh on the democratic value of philosophy in schools, teaching us how our skills applied to more than just a competition between schools. After this began the award ceremony.

After a hard fought effort, and for the first time in the history of the College, Scotch finished in first place. First place individual age prizes were awarded to Sam Wake and James Naylor-Pratt.

James also went on to win the ‘Most Promising Male Philosopher’ for the highest score across all age groups for boys. Felix Jones and Lewis Orr also achieved a podium finish, both coming third in their respective age groups. An honourable mention must go to the rest of the group, who contributed to the team’s success. A big thank you must also go to Akram Azimi, who attended regular team training sessions and helped prepare the boys behind the scenes.

TANZ ANIA TOUR In July 2016, a group of 32 Scotch and PLC Senior School students participated in the Tanzania Expedition for three weeks.

The trip takes place every two years and has been running since 2004. This year the trip involved a service project, a challenging mountain hike and a safari. Matipwili, a remote rural village north of Dar es Salaam was the first destination for the students and staff.

The students were faced with the task of completing the construction of the village’s Trade Training Centre which Scotch and PLC students also helped to build on the 2014 expedition.

The facility was designed in collaboration with Australian architects in 2013 and is an addition to the numerous projects already completed within the village that aim to improve teaching and learning opportunities for both children and adults within the village. Students and staff worked alongside local volunteers to paint rooms and desks, repair window screens and build an amphitheatre. Although ‘hard labour’ was required for the completion of the building project, the younger village children worked on art activities and games in the Resource Centre.

The International School, Moshi, was the next stop for the group and activities ranged from tree planting on Mount Kilimanjaro with the local Chagga people at the upper limits of cultivation, to visiting a primary school high up on the mountain. The expedition then migrated to Mount Meru where we were faced with an arduous climb to an altitude of 3830 metres. It took three days of gruelling physical and mental effort to achieve the goal of reaching the summit by sunrise on the third day. However, the views of the sun rising behind Mount Kilimanjaro and the blanket of cloud far below made the trek worthwhile.

Before heading back to Dar es Salaam, we travelled on a safari to the volcanic uplands of Ngorongoro Crater. This iconic African conservation area is widely regarded as one of the best places in the world to view African wildlife. The safari was superb and the group saw four of the ‘big five’ animals (lion, buffalo, elephant and rhino) as well as a variety of other animals and birds. The Tour concluded back in Dar es Salaam where we spent a day in a conference with students from two government secondary schools.

EXPEDITION: CAVING AND CLIMBING The Caving and Climbing Expedition began with 12 students meeting on the Monday morning, packs full of camping gear and food. We loaded the bus and headed south to Margaret River to meet the other instructor who was joining us. The expedition started at Moses Rock car park with the boys hiking south along the Cape to Cape Track into our campsite for the first two nights.

Over the week the students visited four unique sites. Each site offered something different to challenge them and build their skills. Our first site, Wilyabrup, is a beautiful site located right on the ocean. The boys began the day with the nursery abseil and moved onto rock climbing. There were four climbs rigged, with each climb offering a varying degree of difficulty. They finished the day on ‘Steele Wall’, a 50m abseil.

On Wednesday morning, we packed up camp and drove to our next two sites for the day, first WI16 and then on to Brides Cave.

WI16 is a hidden, picturesque site just off Caves Road; where huge marri trees grow alongside an exposed cave wall. The challenge here is the uneven limestone rock surfaces and difficult take off positions. After lunch we walked to Brides Cave for a long overhanging abseil into a large, open cave with a collapsed roof.

The boys abseiled down and took a tour of the cave underneath before ladder climbing back out of the cave.

The last day of caving was spent at Calgardup Cave where students crawled through a section called ‘The Window’, a tight squeeze where the boys explored part of the cave that is not open to the public. They also abseiled through a solution pipe, which is a tight entrance exposed above ground that opens up into a cave roof, and down the chamber onto the floor below.

The last night was spent in the dorms at Wharncliffe Mill where students could shower and clean their equipment. The boys were treated to a barbecue and were able to share their experiences with students from the mountain biking and surfing expeditions.

The students and staff had a wonderful time on the expedition this year. The students must be praised on their behaviour, attitude and willingness towards the activities for the week.

EXPEDITION: CAPE TO CAPE This year we had a record number of boys choose the Cape to Cape hike This truly is one of WA’s most amazing walks and our boys were able to complete a 5-day section over 100km, somewhere between Dunsborough and Conto’s beach.

There were many highlights for the boys, long walks on lonely South West beaches, views from the Wilyabrup cliffs watching dolphins surf, walking past our Caving and Climbers scaling the cliffs. However the best part was hanging with friends around some amazing isolated campsites along this amazing piece of coast. Meals this year were interesting with some boys producing with their camp buddies some very gourmet meals while others relied on instant sustenance, discovering dehydrated meals are “energy minus flavour” but easy.

Other than these idyllic camp sites and rest spots that provided endless ocean views, it was definitely a highlight rolling into Prevelly Caravan Park for a hot shower and resupply.

For one group this was the end of their journey however for others it was just a mid-stop as they pushed further south another programme. Thanks to all the staff who made it possible for the boys to enjoy this great adventure.

EXPEDITION: DIVING This year saw a couple of changes to the Dive Expedition. Firstly, instead of the long, arduous overnight bus ride, we had a very pleasant flight at a reasonable time on Sunday morning. Stepping off the plane, however, didn’t quite have the warming effect that we were hoping for after some rather cold days in Perth. The weather was warmer, but not the sunny hot days we had planned and packed for.

The boys went straight into their Open Water course, starting with theory and their written test. On Monday the boys familiarised themselves with their dive gear in the pool, practising skills and processes that they would be using in the ocean. These first two days were long, busy days and the boys were quickly off to bed after dinner. The following two days of ocean skills opened the boys’ eyes to a whole new world; they saw what was below the surface and how the marine life interacted among themselves and with us. This led to a greater understanding and appreciation of the marine environment that we spend so much time in and around.

The second change to the programme was the addition of an extra day to ‘fun dive’. It was on these dives that the boys were free to follow their guide and really take in their surroundings without having to focus on the skills that they were learning. A few of the things that we saw included sea snakes, reef sharks, lion fish, moray eels, turtles, numerous bait and game fish, and all the characters from Finding Nemo, accompanied by a soundtrack of whale and dolphin songs.

One of the highlights of the week was swimming with the whale sharks. Swimming alongside such a majestic and peaceful creature really began to alter the attitudes of many of the boys towards sharks and how we all interact. We were also lucky enough to see humpbacks breaching, as well as spinner dolphins swimming off the bow of the boat.

Overall, another fantastic week up in Exmouth. Thank you to Scott Siekierka for his help on the programme and thank you to the boys for such a great week. A reminder that the Scotch Scuba Club is a fantastic way to keep your skills up to date so look out for dive days at Rotto.

EXPEDITION: NEW ZEALAND

EXPEDITION: MOUNTAIN BIKING On Monday 19th September nineteen students and two staff drove down to Margaret River for the five-day Mountain Bike Expedition.

This was the first year we had run the expedition in Margaret River, so this was going to be a new experience for all of us.

We arrived at Wharncliffe Mill and were greeted by Rob, Paul and Jody from Dirty Detours, the mountain bike company that were going to be developing our skills over the coming week. Once we were fitted with our bikes we were led to The Pines, a popular spot for mountain biking that consists of numerous trails that cater for various skill levels. The instructors taught us some basic skills and assessed how we traversed the tracks. Based on the assessment we were split into two groups. One group went with Paul and the other with Jody, while Rob floated between the two.

Over the next few days it was great to see the boys’ skill level and confidence sky rocket. They were taught how to tackle berms, log-overs, table-tops and jumps, all while demonstrating correct technique and a high level of determination. Some boys, who possessed very little experience, started off a little shaky on the beginners’ course, but by the end of the week they were conquering sections of advanced tracks with ease. All of this built up to a down-hill race on the last day, where all of the boys competed and put their new abilities to the test.

The 2016 New Zealand trip was a breathtaking experience and one to remember. Accompanied by Mr Mecham, Mr Duncan, Mr Kyle and Mr Doney, the trekking of the Greenstone and Capels tracks commenced the second day of arrival in Queenstown. Known for its breathtaking views, it was an extraordinary experience. A serious test of mental toughness and mateship was presented throughout the trek, which only bonded and strengthened the group.

The five-day trek was tough physically and demanding. Much of the track was not formed, requiring us to walk up steep hills, under and over tree roots and cross creeks. After trekking between 4 and 5 hours a day we stayed overnight in timber huts fitted with bunk beds. There was no running water or power, but they were clean and we were able to rest our weary bones.

Challenges such as the McKellar saddle gave great achievement to the boys and staff, which further encouraged us to march on. Although the trek was tough many jokes, riddles and the notorious Mount Biffin made everyone laugh. Halfway during the trek the students were accompanied by the staff to attend the Milford Sound cruise – at truly astonishing wonder of the world featuring beautiful waterfalls and amazing views. After the five-day trek had finished there was a strong sense of accomplishment and mateship within the group of boys.

The trek was further followed by adventure activities and 5 days of skiing. Many of the boys did jet boating, bungy jumping and skydiving. Cardrona presented great weather conditions, free ski lessons, plenty of snow and an excellent terrain park. Runs were suitable for all of levels of skiers and were enjoyed by all. The Pine Wood lodge had excellent accommodation for the boys and staff and was walking distance from town. The group was also rewarded with excellent buffets at the Sky line and Waller Peak Farm restaurants.

All the boys said that their highlight of the trip was the wonderful trek through the Greenstone and Capels track. The New Zealand trip was a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommended it to all boys who are choosing expeditions in Year 10.

EXPEDITION: SURFING In week nine of Winter Term, a group of 12 Year 10 boys accompanied myself and Mr Arbuckle to the surfing Mecca of Margaret River for their Year 10 Outdoor Education excursion.

Despite the week prior producing dream conditions for surfing, Monday brought with it possibly the worst imaginable forecast for a surf trip to the south-west. However, with a bus-load of optimistic surf-stoked ‘groms’, we hit the road and headed to the Wharncliffe Mill Bush Retreat at Margaret River, which was to be our base for the week.

There we rendezvoused with Josh Palmateer, the ex-professional surfer who runs Western Australia’s oldest surf school, and he and his fellow coaches Aaron and Ritchie were our guides for the week.

The inclement conditions severely limited our surfing options all week, however, we got waves at Huzza’s, inside Cowaramup Bay on the first afternoon, followed by a rather special session at Smith’s Beach on the Tuesday morning that saw the boys surfing with Taj Burrow for a couple of hours. This was a rare opportunity to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with one of the world’s best professionals and watch him at work in his backyard.

The following day saw two fun sessions at Redgate Beach, despite stiff nor-westers, and the boys got to test their mettle in punchy beach break conditions. Current world number 48, Jacob Wilcox, was on hand during the morning session to offer the boys some tips and advice.

The highlight sessions though, were left for the Thursday when the boys surfed at South Point in solid head and a half high conditions. These two sessions saw all of the boys push themselves in a well-respected Western Australian surfing location, with standout performances from James Carrigg, Matt Murphy and Mitchell ‘Westie’ West.

A huge thank you must go to Josh Palmateer and his coaches, who provided constant encouragement and technical advice to the boys, and worked tirelessly to ensure that the spirits and enthusiasm remained high despite the marginal conditions.

EXPEDITION: WHITE WATER RAFTING This year saw 11 boys head down to Moray in September to develop their white water kayaking skills. The programme involves refreshing their knowledge from Year 9 and putting these skills, and new ones, into practice on increasingly difficult white water sections each day.

We were very lucky with the weather, with sunshine and clear days for the majority of the week and only a bit of rain on the Thursday.

Leading into the week, we had had a dry spell so the river wasn’t quite as high as we would have liked, but we still had a great time with enough water for a fun paddle.

The week involved a continuous journey from the Upper Murray to the Middle Murray with the boys ending their Thursday with some technical and fun rapids.

The boys all performed very well and not a single capsize happened on the trip.

We were able to use a variety of craft, with boys in both kayaks and inflatable rafts. This gave the boys an opportunity to try different ways to get down some of the more technical rapids.

We all stayed in the dormitories at Moray and enjoyed a warm shower each night, a communal campfire and a comfortable bed; these were welcome additions to a great week away. And, of course, wood-fired pizzas on the last night were a great way to end the expedition. Thanks again, boys, for a great trip.

EXPEDITION: KARIJINI On the third week of the July school holidays, a group of Year 10 boys set off on a journey to the centre of the earth (well it sure seemed like it when hiking through the Pilbara and then abseiling deep into the gorges of Karijini National Park).

Flying into Parabadoo, we boarded our hired bus and continued on through to Tom Price and Dales Gorge where we met our passionate and knowledgeable guide, Brett Huntly, for lunch. His terms “canyoning”, “belaying” and “bouldering” had everyone quickly realising we were in for quite an adventure.

Knox Gorge, just one of the gorges we entered, involved a number of abseil sections that were narrow, steep and very slippery. This also involved travelling down a smooth and rounded chute, with an overhanging lip that led to a four-metre drop from the edge of the waterfall into the pool below. This meant that the only way down was sliding off the chute and into the pool. It was exhilarating and the water in the pools was incredibly cold. Luckily, we all wore our steamers and volleys (cheap shoes with a rubber sole providing excellent grip on wet rock) because we were in and out of the pools throughout the six days.

On one day we channelled our ‘inner otter’ and slowly paddled our inner tyre tubes along Red Gorge soaking up the sight of the beautiful, towering red cliffs on either side. We continued past Weano Falls to Junction Pool, rock climbing out at the end to be greeted by tourists who were highly envious of our adventures. Other areas we passed through included: Regan’s Pool, Handrail Pool, Jade’s Pool, Joffre Gorge, Circular Pool, Fortescue Falls and Fern Pool. Brett taught the boys not just about leadership in the wilderness, but also an important aspect in many areas of our lives called fellowship. This was a really powerful message and each night, at the end of a long day, we gave each other feedback on both leadership and fellowship. Hiking and camping, abseiling and canyoning, all the while following the motto “leave no trace”, was an incredible experience for all.

Mr Paul Chamberlain Middle School Curriculum Co-ordinator

EXPEDITION: SEA K AYAKING This year we started our journey by flying from Perth to Learmonth rather than sitting through a 14-hour bus trip, a much nicer way to start the trip. On arrival we met Chris and Neri, our instructors from Exmouth Adventures, and we headed deep into the marine park to Yardi Creek.

Day one was hectic, getting our food organised and boats packed, and just when we thought we were ready along came our toilet, which had to be included. That’s right, we were off to the most remote parts of the marine park, where no one else is permitted to camp; and we had to take it all.

After capsize drills we started our journey north along the lagoon, inside the outer reef. Our first camp was much like all our camps: magnificent, isolated and surreal. Every night we camped on a different beach with no public road access; it felt as if we had the coast to ourselves.

Each day we would paddle past the popular tourist stops, Mangrove Bay, Oyster Stacks, Turquoise Bay. Why paddle past, you ask? Because with our kayaks we could access deep water snorkel sites and beaches with some of the most amazing snorkelling that no one else sees.

What did we not see? ... *Crickets chirping*. That’s right, we saw everything: dolphin escorts to a family of dugongs with a baby; bottlenose dolphins; fast and agile spinner dolphins; stingrays; fish, more fish, big fish, small fish, Nemo fish; coral; and sharks.

We even got to swim with some really nice 4 to 5-foot long Blacktip Reef Sharks.

Mid trip we paddled into Tantabiddi boat ramp where we met up with a whale shark charter who took us beyond the reef in search of the ocean’s biggest creature. As well as the hour of diving with a whale shark, and an amazing big lunch, we saw pods of humpback whales in their migration.

We set out with some lofty goals like swimming with sharks, seeing big fish or diving with whale sharks, and no one was disappointed. Best of all, we got to share the trip with a group of pretty amazing lads.

STAFF REPORT

During 2016, the College welcomed a number of fresh faces with a great mixture of skills, experience and enthusiasm. While it is always sad when staff move on due to a number of factors such as a change in circumstance or to pursue opportunities outside of the College, it is an opportunity for our new staff to bring innovative ideas and approaches to enhance the learning of our students.

As the year commenced, a number of staff were appointed to leadership roles within the College. Sam Rees joined us from Santa Maria College as Curriculum Leader of Mathematics, Steven Scotti joined from Aquinas College as Curriculum Leader of Design & Technology and Sarah Combes joined us from our colleagues at Presbyterian Ladies College as Head of Drama. During the year Chris McMillan commenced at the College as Head of Performing Arts, also moving from Aquinas.

The new year also saw the appointment of two Junior School staff members, Terri Phillips as Academic Support Teacher and Jayne Ricciardello as Pre-Primary Education Assistant. In addition, Justin Shaw and Joel Kandiah commenced in temporary positions as Middle School Teacher and Commerce Teacher in the Senior School respectively and it was pleasing to see their hard work recognised when they were both confirmed as permanent employees during the school year.

As the year progressed we welcomed additional academic and non-academic staff.

Our Senior School saw the appointment of Courtney Ellis as our new Commerce Teacher, Francesca Gabby Surijata as our new Modern Languages Teacher and Marie Bloodworth as Food Technology Teacher.

STAFF VALE MERRIE COCKERILL Merrie joined Scotch College in 1992 as a fresh faced young teacher, a spring in her step, always smiling and laughing and ready for a challenge. Not much has really changed since then…

Given that her husband Phil was an Old Scotch Collegian and that her four boys were all gradually feeding into the College as pupils, it seemed only natural that Merrie would look to work at Scotch, especially as it meant that she could keep a watchful eye on their schoolboy antics! Her boys must have inherited her mischievous sense of humour and love of life…

Merrie immediately thrived in her new environment, teaching in Year 7 with Bill Irwin and taking on a part time role in Academic Support. She soon established herself as a wonderful teacher with a passion for working with children with learning difficulties.

Her undoubted strength and skill has always been the great relationships that she forms with her pupils and her natural ability to engage and empower those children who struggle.

DAVID BEARD David Beard’s first contact with Scotch College was in 2003, when he was contracted by the College Council as the Council representative, negotiating and finalising the staff enterprise bargaining agreement 2002 and 2003. This led on to a further contract for 6-12 months to work with Graeme Walter who had just been appointed to the position of Director of Staffing to develop the human resources policy manual in 2004-2005. Subsequently David was employed by the College part-time in 2005 in a 0.5FTE role as the Assistant to the Director of Staffing Services, a role which evolved into his final position at Scotch of HR Consultant for the most of the next 10.5 years. David was a strong contributor to Scotch over the ensuing years, playing a significant part in all bargaining agreements and providing advice and counselling to the College and staff on IR matters. He was instrumental in introducing a number of important wellbeing initiatives to the College. When not working for Scotch, David provided life and business coaching and wrote a book titled ‘If I’d Only Known I’d Live This Long’, a reflection of his personal commitment and dedication to remaining fit and healthy and the lessons he learned in the aged care sector.

I worked closely with David over the years and respected and admired his sense of fairness and equality, positive attitude, compassion, care for staff and their wellbeing. David provided tremendous assistance to Graeme Walter and then David Price in their respective roles as Director of Staffing and Human Resources.

Thank you David for your contribution to Scotch; you helped us create a modern HR structure. We wish you all the best in your new endeavours.

Mr Paul Davidson Director of Finance & Corporate Services

In 1998 she taught in Year 5 alongside her great friend Fran Longhurst and the rest is history. They have been incredibly close throughout the years, collaborating together as class teachers and stretching each other to achieve excellence and inspire others to reach for the same high standards. They also teamed up to become the “social butterflies” of the Junior School and continued to extend a warm welcome to all new staff whilst also maintaining and building a caring, community atmosphere amongst the staff.

In 2008 Scotch appointed Merrie as Head of Academic Support in recognition of her commitment and drive in this area. She was responsible for reshaping the structure of the support system within the Junior School and set up our MULTILIT clinic which quickly gained the reputation as one of the leading providers of this service in Western Australia. Merrie devoted herself to training and mentoring the staff in this clinic and they would have no hesitation in voicing their love and admiration for such an amazing lady.

Personally I am forever indebted to Merrie for guiding me, providing sage advice and continual support. I have learned so much and have benefitted hugely from her input and unwavering friendship.

We have always managed to find the funny side of teaching and it has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to have worked with such an incredible educator. I am sure that the College community will join me in wishing Merrie a happy and fruitful retirement and we thank her for such a significant contribution.

Mrs Alison Webster Year 2 Teacher

FIONA HENDERSON Kind, caring, humble, conscientious and professional are just some of the words that describe Mrs Henderson as a House Mother for the past 14 years in the Year 9 Boarding House. She is the heart and soul of the House and with her recent and welldeserved retirement she will be truly missed by everyone, both in the Residential and Scotch Community.

STEPHEN DORNAN Thursday December 13, 2002, was a fairly important day for Steve Dornan. In case you can’t remember, it was a warm 34-degree day and with a mild afternoon sea breeze.

Important for what reason?

It was interview day for a young 27-year-old who had been teaching at Kwinana Senior High School for two years and who had been told that due to the policy of employing new graduates, he may be moved on.

I remember speaking to Steve after the interview about the position and reminded him that it was only a temporary one-year position and he replied, “It’s okay, for the past four years I have only had temporary positions.”

So Steve started in the Science Department in January of 2003. Ten months later we knew we had someone special. Andrew Syme, in his letter appointing Steve to the permanent staff, said: “May I say how delighted I am with your positive approach towards Science education here at Scotch and commend you particularly on your manner in approaching difficult issues as well as your commitment to your subject area.

I know that you enjoy teaching at Scotch and I am very pleased with the enthusiasm you demonstrate in all that you undertake.”

In 2011, Ben Beaton wrote about Steve’s positive impact on learning technologies and concluded with, “I look forward to the opportunity of working with you again.” Six years after that comment, Steve will be working with Ben again soon.

Over the past 13 years, I have seen a young man with great potential develop that potential - from being an exemplary classroom teacher and a wonderful member of the Science Faculty, Acting House Head, and a mentor and a leader in ILT here at Scotch.

All of us in the Science Department have benefitted greatly from Steve’s passion for outstanding teaching and, importantly, his willingness to share his expertise in ILT with us and the staff as a whole. He has been instrumental in making a change here at Scotch and we wish him every success in his new position.

Mr Reg Reberger Head of Science

Over the years, the boys would have been woken up to the sounds of a very loud and annoying bell. I know, it’s not the greatest sound to wake up to, but the balance of the soothing sounds of Mrs Henderson asking the boys to wake up and get ready for school made this experience less painful. This was, and is, a consistent thing that happened every day of the boys’ school lives in Year 9. A quick check of the uniform, off to breakfast for a feed and on the return, as they get ready for school, Mrs Henderson would give a final check and a warm farewell for the day. If there were any problems, whether it be uniform, medical or other issues, Mrs Henderson was onto it as her care and compassion led the way.

On their return from school, they were always welcomed back into the house by Mrs Henderson who worked on getting them organised for the afternoon, whether it be for sporting commitments or for some free time; she always had the afternoon tea ready to go. In the early days, afternoon tea used to be just a few biscuits and some fruit, but it was Mrs Henderson who created the ‘Toastie Tuesday’ and now the ‘Toastie Thursday’ which was an instant winner for hungry boys.

Not only did Mrs Henderson conduct herself with such care and professionalism, it’s also the behind-the-scenes, or what footy players call the ‘one percenters’, that made her a crucial part of the Year 9 team: the ‘Happy Birthday’ giant Freddo Frogs and personalised birthday signs, sewing name tags on clothing and buttons on jackets, washing and ironing last minute items, taking boys to medical appointments, making sure appropriate leave requests were complete, and providing a comforting presence when boys were sad or homesick, or just having a bad day. Mrs Henderson was always there for them.

The boys are very lucky to have such caring and supportive mentors at this College. They are a crucial part of the boys’ development in the absence of their parents while they are living in Residential Life; from their teachers to their coaches, from their House Heads to their tutors, and from their Residential Masters to their House Mothers. Mrs Henderson has been a crucial part of many boys’ lives, especially as they go through one of the most difficult and bumpy years of their lives, that being Year 9.

We give thanks to Fiona, not just for all her brilliant service to the Year 9 Boarding House and Scotch College, but for her friendship, for sharing her kind and caring manner and for being a truly amazing and wonderful person.

SANDRA MCCOWAN

FRAN LONGHURST I first met Fran ten years ago when I took on class 5L for a term while she went to Italy for her long service leave. There were significant challenges presented to me and I thought I could do Fran proud by running a fairly decent academic programme, winging the PYP and appeasing the parents. It wasn’t until I was presented with the Hockey B team’s credentials that I felt totally out of my depth and somewhat humiliated. Fran had mentioned casually in the handover that her team had not lost a game. That was easy for her to say as she participated on a national level for the WA Juniors Hockey team and had run beside Raelene Boyle in the WA Junior Championships for 200-metre and 400-metre track!

For 28 years, Fran has contributed to the teaching and learning of boys and teachers alike. A highly proficient teacher, Fran impacted the lives of boys in the most positive ways. Her knowledge of the curriculum and the implementation of a rigorous programme of learning prepared these boys for academic success and more. With her talent for athletics and hockey, Fran spent many lunchtimes teaching boys the correct way to jump hurdles, swing a hockey stick and pass the baton. As Teacher in Charge of Gordon House, Fran taught boys the ways of teamwork and winning. In the early days, it has been told, she transformed an old chicken coop into the official Gordon meeting house to rally the boys together to prepare for competition against their rivals on carnival day.

If you wanted the job done in the best possible way, Fran would deliver the goods to the highest standard. During her time as classroom teacher, Fran was the obvious choice to launch the first PYP Exhibition. Some years later, she shared the PYP Coordinator role. Fran was the first teacher to be involved with the Brinsden professional development initiative. In 2010, Fran left the classroom and went into Academic Support. As was expected, Fran embraced this role with integrity and ease. She facilitated a differentiated programme within the support classes. Highly collaborative, Fran supported teachers and Education Assistants to ensure boys could access the curriculum and achieve their full potential.

I have worked beside Fran for three years and have appreciated her professionalism, integrity and knowledge. Her guidance and ability to change, see different perspectives and embrace new teaching practices has been outstanding. Fran willingly accepted the role to pilot a literacy intervention programme in 2015. In 2016 Fran got the programme up and running. Fran’s collegiality, friendship and humour has been appreciated by everyone who has had the privilege of working with her.

Fran Longhurst leaves a legacy of hundreds of fine young boys and men who, along with her teaching colleagues, have benefitted from the good fortune of Fran’s giving nature while at Scotch College over the last 28 years.

Sandra began at Scotch in 2003 coming to us from Perth College.

After three years of teaching in the English Department she took on the Shearer House Head role until 2012. She recalls these as very precious years and the students in her care felt the same way. She enjoyed developing ongoing relationships with the families in Shearer House, some of whom she is still friends with to this day even though their sons have long left the College. She enjoyed caring for the students in the House, fostering their aspirations and supporting them in any way that she could. Memories of the Rottnest camp, International Day, sporting events and the 50 Mile Walk have all made an indelible impression on Sandra. Old boy, Matthew Leung (2009) records that, “Shearer performed well after Ms McCowan took over the role, largely thanks to her inclusion of every student in House events and her persistence in ensuring that the House should perform at its best across a wide range of areas. Ms McCowan was appreciated by all. I am sure all past and present students would wish her the very best for the future. Western Australia’s loss will be Victoria’s gain!”

After seven years as House Head Sandra was appointed to the Curriculum Leader position in the English Department. When asked what she valued the most about this role her response included an acknowledgment of the outstanding group of English teachers she led, teachers who always had their students’ success and welfare foremost in their minds. Of course, this praise can be said of Sandra herself. In this role, she allowed teachers to use their talents creatively and innovatively. She has been a respected Curriculum Leader who has strengthened the faculty.

When I asked Sandra what some of her best Scotch memories were, she replied that there were so many it would be hard to recall them all. Nevertheless she recalled quite a few including: a Shearer House dinner organised by Blair Howson’s family at the Albion in Cottesloe; the Clegg family bringing her back a Shearer House scarf from Scotland and finishing the 50 Mile Walk. Other memories are those of a very reluctant ex-Literature student sending her a postcard from the Globe theatre in London saying that he now loved Literature; being presented with a framed signed Shearer shirt in 2012 by the 2013 leavers as a thank you; Dr O’Connell asking her to be the Curriculum Leader of English in front of her colleagues in his office; her son Stuart playing with a depth of feeling and abandon at the 2014 Jazz night and her son Cameron after Speech Night with his friends at Lights-Out all laughing together with such joy.

These memories and highlights are a measure of the enormous contribution Sandra has made to the College and the degree of respect in which she is held. Naturally, all of us in the English Department and the wider College community wish her every success as she moves to Melbourne to begin teaching at Caulfield Grammar School. After 14 years of service at Scotch, Sandra will be missed!

Dr Jeannette Weeda English Department

KAREN SABITAY Until she turned up, we’d thought art was something that could be tidily constrained in the Art room. It was Karen who turned it into an explosion, through the whole School, overwhelming not just our classrooms and corridors, but also our preconceptions about the place of Art.

DAVID PRICE David has left an indelible mark as a teacher, Curriculum Leader and Head of Human Resources he has shaped the lives of numerous boys and members of the teaching fraternity.

He took up a position midway through 1999 as a temporary appointment, he was prepared to sacrifice a distinguished career with the Education Department. In the state system, David had been a Head of Department in various schools; won the position of Curriculum Manager for the Esperance District and was involved in curriculum development across twenty-one schools in that district. He was on numerous syllabus committees, including the Literature Review Committee and found time to be a Moderator for the Curriculum Council.

At Scotch, David wanted English teachers to deliver challenging, differentiated learning programmes in their classrooms. He was determined to advance the boys’ inter-cultural understandings and sensitivities and encouraged staff to look beyond the canons of Western Literature. Subsequently, boys studied the works of African writers like Achebe, Fugard and Asian writers like Lahiri, Pung, and many others.

He was determined to improve the boys’ examination results and this resulted in the development of the Scotch Conference for Year 12 boys. David secured the services of the Chief Examiner who came and spoke to students about maximising their performance in examinations. David also secured the services of published authors like Rod Quinn and Estelle Blackburn who spoke to specifics in texts that boys were preparing for examinations. These were videotaped and students given a copy of the presentation, which they referred to as a part of their revision programme.

Additionally, David raised the profile of the English Department amongst the wider teaching community to ensure that the College had a voice in the way curriculum was shaped. He was proud of his staff’s talents and wanted to share their expertise. Through the ETA, Scotch teachers delivered workshops and produced examination papers that were utilised state-wide. David set the tone in the Department and encouraged open conversations. He encouraged his staff to seek out transformational opportunities and to never compromise when it came to the education of Scotch boys.

The boys grasped the invitation to let the creative juices flow, to dismantle the barriers to expression and to discover novel modes of communication. But this was no undisciplined free-for-all.

Karen recognised from the outset that the disciplines of Art are the same disciplines that we respect in all areas of life at Scotch.

She demanded personal excellence, perseverance in overcoming difficulties and progress towards mastery of materials and techniques.

Karen derived substantial legitimacy for her programmes from the Primary Years Programme of the IB. Never satisfied with the merely mundane, the cookie-cutter products of a do-it-like-this pedagogy, she vigorously encouraged inquiry, investigation, independent learning and the exploration of any opportunities to transcend traditional educational boundaries.

To the boys, this manifested itself as the freedom to take risks, to explore the unconventional, to be permitted to make mistakes and to learn from them, and to come to the dawning recognition that it is through such exploration and open-mindedness that sometimes, just sometimes, truly great work emerges.

Karen joined Scotch in 1996, as a relief Art teacher, the School soon recognised her talents, and she began teaching Art full time in the Junior School. It wasn’t long before art began to break out of the Art room. Soon, boys’ work was appearing on the grassed banks, out on the verandas, around the campus and even further afield, escaping into areas that had previously been almost entirely art-free. Who can forget the spectacular decorated quadrangle for Orientation Day, the march of the umbrellas for Speech Night, or the dazzling kites that resulted from Michael Alvarnis as Artist-in-Residence?

Soon, Scotch boys were exhibiting their work in partner schools, taking part in the Sea Dragon Festival and getting their hands dirty at The Clay House. There were no limits to their creativity — it wasn’t long before the boys were designing chairs for the Art Gallery of Perth and Doodling for Google.

And now, in a classic case of life imitating art, Karen is following her own advice, setting off into the unknown and exploring fresh opportunities. We’re sad to see her go, but wherever this new journey takes her, we wish her plenty of colour, novelty and excitement. She wouldn’t want it any other way.

Mrs Fran Longhurst Academic Support

David’s legacy is far-reaching: he influenced the pedagogy of many teachers; inspired them to embrace new challenges and to be committed to excellence in the classroom. Throughout his career at the College, the education and success of the boys was paramount and he regularly embraced opportunities to ensure that they excelled in all areas of the learning programme.

VICKI WARD Every day there would be a fresh baguette on the staffroom table and every afternoon the 7W class had to do a little dance before they left. Both of these actions characterise and showcase the wonderfully warm, passionate and caring personality that is Vicki Ward. After twelve years teaching at Mount St. Joseph School in Sydney Vicki headed west, first to John Wollaston Anglican Community School in Kelmscott before arriving at Scotch College in 2007.

TRACY STILLITANO Tracy has been a key member of the Scotch College Junior School team for the past ten years. Throughout her time, she has maintained a positive and practical approach to her teaching and learning as a classroom teacher and later through her work as a specialist Physical Education staff member.

Tracy began her time here in 2006, joining us as the Year 1 teacher; Miss Black, with a background in Montessori. She moved into Year 3 for 2007 and team-taught with Fran Longhurst until the end of Term 3, 2012. During those three years she married Justin Stillitano and in Term 4 she took time off for maternity leave and returned to us the proud mother of Cooper Stillitano.

When Tracy returned at the start of Term 4, 2013, she changed her role to part-time Physical Education teacher for the Junior Primary classes. Tracy moved seamlessly into her new role as she had always been a talented and active athlete, having represented the State in both softball and netball as well as being a key figure in the UWA Baseball and Softball Club along with her husband Justin.

Tracy then took maternity leave again to have Ebony Stillitano in Term 1 of 2015, and followed that up with long service leave (half your luck) before returning again in Term 3 of 2016 to resume the Physical Education role. Having two highly energetic young children, Tracy and Justin made the tough decision to leave Scotch College in order for Tracy to be a full time mum.

In talking with Tracy she noted some of her milestones, which I have listed below: • Meeting many, many wonderful teachers, some of whom are now my closest friends • Coaching the Scotch College Tee-ball team with the legendary Warwick for six years • Being an active member on the Scotch College Environmental Club for four years under the leadership of Chris Menage On behalf of Scotch College, we wish Tracy and her wonderful family all the best for the future and look forward to seeing Cooper Stillitano in a kilt at some point in the not too distant future.

Vicki commenced as a Humanities teacher in Senior School before throwing her lot in with the emerging Middle School in 2010. Vicki has been a consistent, welcoming, encouraging stalwart of Year 7 Middle School for the past seven years.

Testimony to this has been the steady stream of past students returning to say hello as they swing past Middle School on their way to and from the ovals.

The study of Societies and the Environment is Vicki’s teaching passion and, not surprisingly, aligned with this is a desire to protect the planet. Vicki has been our resident ‘green conscience’, railing against plastic bags in the ocean, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and underground fracking.

Vicki will fit right in in Tasmania!

Out of the classroom, if you mention Hockey you have Vicki’s undivided attention. Hockey has been an enduring passion for Vicki who has coached and managed PSA Hockey for 10 years, establishing a great rapport with all of ‘her boys’ with a special affinity for her D Squads. Rain, hail or shine, Vicki hasn’t missed a training session or a game and there is always an end of season treat.

But it has been behind the scenes, after hours, that Vicki has had an immeasurable impact and earned the deepest gratitude from parents and boys alike. For ten years Vicki has spent her weekday evenings at Boarding House prep, helping boarders with homework, getting boys organised for the next day, helping them plan ahead, reteaching, rereading, reminding, comforting boys who wished they were at home, or just lifting spirits with a smile or some recognition. Vicki Ward has been a great teacher at Scotch College, is widely well-regarded, and she will be fondly remembered.

MARILYN HORNE

JENNY WHITELY If you had a child who struggled to read or learn, who found school boring or irrelevant or life bewildering, you could do no better than being taken under Jenny Whitely’s wing. Jen has been a teacher of English for 38 years, 19 of them in Scotch Senior School. Jen loves working with boys and ‘gets’ them; evident in her classes is the respect and liking between students and teacher that’s so powerful a predictor of success. Jen is creative and thinks outside the box. She’s shown how flexibility, differentiation and making content relevant (and dare we say itfun!) can engage even the trickiest of kids.

Jen was the inaugural Head of the Academic Support Team (AST), building the department from the ground up over the last 15 years and bringing about enormous change. This has included the de-stigmatisation of learning support through a move away from the previous model of withdrawal to a ‘remedial’ class. Her model of full inclusion and case-management is now embedded at Scotch.

Much of the academic support is behind the scenes, as it should be given how adolescents are – they want to be the same as each other and not stick out in any way. Around 15% of senior boys are case managed by the AST. With challenges like ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism, they are often anxious and down on themselves. Jen has encouraged them to understand and accept their abilities and disabilities, build on strengths and be proactive in their approach to learning and life.

Marilyn Horne was an integral member of the Scotch Library team. She was employed at the College for 30 years and during this time provided outstanding service to the Scotch College community. The majority of Marilyn’s tenure was spent in the Bunnings Resource Centre in the Senior School where she supported the College community in the roles of Part-Time Library Assistant (1986-1996) and Part-Time Library Technician (1996-2003). In 2003, the College was lucky to have Marilyn join the staff in a full-time capacity which allowed for the expansion of her role across the School.

In October 2008, Marilyn was selected as the Western Australian Library Technician of the Year by the Western Australian School Library Association.

This award was a testament to Marilyn’s commitment and passion for her role, but most importantly, to the boys of Scotch College.

Marilyn’s love and enthusiasm for literature shone through in the way she assisted boys to engage with their research and reading. She truly had a great impact on Scotch boys of all ages, from Pre-Primary through to Year 12s.

The College would like to take the opportunity to formally thank Marilyn for her service over the past three decades. Marilyn’s dedication and passion for our College is greatly appreciated by all who had the pleasure of working with her.

Mrs Anita Johnnson Accounts Payable Officer

A compassionate heart and sense of social justice distinguishes Jen’s work. She’s shown a commitment to working with atrisk students, serving on anti-bullying, sexual harassment and wellbeing committees that have been positive and pivotal in changing school culture. Committed in a personal way to Indigenous education, Jen has had various roles including the provision of start-up support for the Liaison Officer, student scholarship committee member and Academic Advisor.

And Jen has made a lasting contribution to setting up programmes to both educate boys about mental illness and support young carers whose families are experiencing it.

Jen is moving on to work in the Education Faculty at Notre Dame University and spend more time with her family.

Thank you, Jen, for making a real difference as an educator and a person, modelling how in the messy, complicated business of life you can conduct yourself with authenticity and heart.

YEAR 12 BALL I’m sure that the Ball was a highlight of the boys’ time at the College and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this function.

The 2016 Scotch College Year 12 Ball was an event written in bold on all of the boys’ calendars, and it certainly lived up to every expectation. The night reinforced why the event is one of the most sought-after events in Perth.

This year’s theme was ‘Fire and Ice’ and fittingly, the night kicked off with a fiery performance from The Bad Piper after the students had been welcomed on the red carpet. The Bad Piper dominated the night sky atop of Collegians House as he overlooked the fascinated crowd.

The entrance to the Dickinson Centre was unrecognisable, taking on the appearance of an opening to another realm filled with igloos, flames, and snowflakes. The DC was completely transformed by the incredible imagination of the Ball Committee and Scotch Auxiliary who worked immensely hard to make the venue so special. We can only guess how much work was involved in the preparations on our behalf.

Just before our entrées were served, an unforgettable fire-twirling dancer performed and left the crowd in awe. The three-course meal that followed provided the fuel to get the boys and their partners to leave their seats and get their groove on to the sounds produced by DJ Marto on the dance floor.

This was followed by some busy photo sessions at the photo booth.

Overall, the night was a huge success, and an enormous thank you goes out to the Headmaster, the College Leadership Team, the Ball Committee, the Scotch Auxiliary and everyone who was involved in making the night as spectacular as it was. We are very fortunate to have such incredible support at the College. I’m sure that the Ball was a highlight of the boys’ time at the College and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this function.

VALEDICTORY DINNER

It was almost five years ago that many of you were left stranded, trying to return from your Year 8 Camp at Rottnest. Therefore, it is safe to say that tonight would not have been possible had you left Mr Jones in charge of organising the return ferry from Leavers. The fact that you are here is testament to the fact that we have prepared you for life.

Good evening parents, staff, guests and most importantly, the Year 12 graduates.

Congratulations boys. I started my own journey at Scotch College five years ago and the class of 2016 has always been a year group that I have enjoyed teaching, coaching and interacting with, so it is very humbling for me to give the speech tonight and I thank you for this opportunity. A Football coach of mine always used to say that you might never be in the same room as the group of players that you will run out with today, and I see tonight as being similar. Therefore, I encourage you all to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate this wonderful Valedictory occasion.

I was pretty glad when I finished school myself.

Having gone to schools in Kojonup, Narrogin, Dumbleyung, Pingelly, and back to Narrogin before finishing Year 11 and 12 in Perth, I was pretty much over it and I remember walking out of my last exam feeling a massive weight lift off my shoulders. I felt quite disconnected from my school and can’t claim to remember much about my own Valedictory evening. However, if my memory serves me correctly, it felt like Mr Gilbert’s speech from The Inbetweeners.

Thankfully, this is not the Scotch way – in fact a long way off it! There will be many people in this room here tonight who will take great interest in where you go from here with your lives. Undoubtedly, each of you will walk out of here tonight with different memories and experiences from your time here, but I would

206

like to take this moment to share a few of my memories and interactions that I have had with your year group over the past five years: The first class I ever taught at Scotch was your cohort as Year 8s. The likes of Nathan Saunders, Elias Grimes, Hamish Ritchie, ‘Ace’ Ventouras, whom I have had the pleasure of teaching for three years, and the kid from Katanning – Flynn Taylor. The highlight of that class though, was the banter directed at Zaine Welsh over his unwavering loyalty to the Brisbane Lions.

There were the legends of my 8A Tennis team who went through the 2012 season undefeated. Pastorino, Mahon, Buzza, Dudfield, Cull, Nicholls, Rogers, Fletcher.

And last year there were the 22 boys from Anderson, Stuart and Shearer who accepted and completed the challenge of the 50 Mile Walk as Year 11s.

But the memories I have of your final year at the School have come thick and fast: • To the boys in my first Year 12 class at the School this year – I can honestly say that I enjoyed teaching all of you. You worked hard, we had some laughs, you yelled out of windows – there were some good times.

• In that class was: the comedy duo that is Harrison Bennie and ‘Jedi’ James Edinger; Will Cusack and Jamie Egan, who would question every single mark they missed

out on in a test; the ever-smiling faces of Jack Cooke and Lucas Beacham; as well as guys like Louis Cassell, Nick Allan and Lewis Daisley who were always good for a chat.

• Then there was this one Year 12 boy whom I have decided not to publicly name, who very recently reminded me that I do, in fact, work at a boys’ school. He brought something to class that he had made during his free time in Metalwork – a paperweight – that resembled a particular region of the male anatomy.

• I can remember being so impressed with how many of you were willing to shave your heads to support your friend at PLC. • Sitting in the audience and marvelling at the amazing and often humorous speeches that many of you gave at the assemblies.

One speech that I will mention is Asad Hosseini’s speech about being a refugee which was simply amazing.

• Seeing boys like Patrick Carter, Leigh Ryan, Charlie Mills, Jim Cameron and Ed Powley singing and dancing on this very stage in The Addams Family – truly outstanding.

• When Reverend Lewis asked in Chapel earlier this year, “Do we have someone to come forward and do this reading?” The last thing I expected was to see one James Hollingsworth dressed as Princess Leia – truly disturbing.

• The time you chanted Mr Newman’s name in the Physical Education Centre during the NAIDOC Week Basketball game.

• Watching the celebrations on the last day of the Winter Season as the Firsts Badminton, Football and Rugby teams took out the titles – and the Thirds Football as well.

• The Year 12 Ball where you danced or tried to dance on this very stage.

• Witnessing the war cries and success of the Athletics team.

• Enjoying the first ever Agricultural Day, which was a great success.

• The leaders of the School this year have been outstanding and deserve a special mention. Denver, Alex, Fraser and James – you have done a tremendous job and set a wonderful standard and tone for the rest of the School. You should be very proud of what you have achieved.

• There were some things I never quite understood and, at the risk of half of the boys performing this move, I do have to admit that I still have no idea about why or when you are supposed to dab.

It is safe to say that you boys have left your mark and the School has been a better place thanks to all you have given throughout the year. When people talk about schools, they might mention how some teachers have a positive effect on the lives of students, but I’ve always seen it working the other way as well, and the Scotch class of 2016 is a great example of this. I sincerely thank you for the positive effect that you have had on me by simply helping me to enjoy what I do. There are some boys in this room here tonight whom I have never taught such as Ben Mahon, ‘Goochy’ and Campbell Williamson, as well as Andrew Lesslie whom I have taught, who would always come up and say ‘hello’, and it’s acts like this that justify my decision in becoming a teacher.

And I couldn’t stand up here tonight, without giving a special mention to the group of exceptional young men whom I have had the absolute pleasure of seeing through to the end of their formal schooling and I can’t thank the Shearer boys enough for the great times we have shared over the past few years.

American Actor Christopher Walken once said that, “At its best, life is completely unpredictable.”

2016 is a great example of unpredictability.

The Western Bulldogs and Cronulla Sharks

broke long-standing droughts to claim the premierships in the AFL and NRL respectively.

Leicester City did the unthinkable by winning the English Premier League, whilst the Chicago Cubs ended a 108-year drought to claim the World Series. The world unexpectedly lost music icons such as David Bowie and Prince.

On top of this, the people of Britain voted to leave the EU and, what seemed even more unlikely to many, Donald Trump became the President of the United States of America.

It was a pity that I couldn’t add my beloved Dockers to this list.

For the graduates in the audience tonight, I imagine there must be a certain feeling of unpredictability in what happens from here. Whilst many of you plan on heading to university, further education or into the workplace, it is fair to say that even the best laid plans often go awry. I encourage you to embrace this unpredictability as life from here onwards is always going to have a sense of uncertainty about it whether it be worrying about getting into university, finding a job, finding a partner, leaving home, having kids – or in your parents’ case, waiting for your kids to leave home – and the list goes on. If there is a lesson for you all to take away from the success of these underdog results this year, it is that anything can happen and you need to be ready to take your opportunities when they present themselves; it’s a given that you won’t have the chance to succeed unless you put yourself out there in the first place. Further to that, many of us thought we knew what the outcomes of some of these events would be, when really we had no idea of the way that things would unfold.

A piece of advice for the 2016 Leavers is – step through every door that opens because one way always leads on to another way or more simply, way leads on to way. I am always astounded by the number of Year 12 boys who know exactly what they want to do once they leave school and possibly for the rest of their lives. Back yourself and trust your instincts as many people have been in your position before and have done just fine. When I graduated from school, I had only a handful of ideas of where I wanted to go with my life. I spent the majority of Year 12 learning to play the guitar and growing my hair long, but teaching was something that had always appealed to me and became clearer as I finished up at school.

Remember that way leads on to way.

After being accepted into teaching at university, I spent the summer working 12hour days at a market garden out the back

of Gingin where I drove a carrot harvester, saving enough money to help me get through the year. In the first two years of my course, I only had about five weeks where I spent time in schools and my experiences were mixed.

I persevered with the course and found my feet the closer I got to completing my degree.

Jobs were competitive, but I felt that I had an advantage given that I was prepared to go country. I had already spent most of my life living in country towns due to my Dad being in the bank and our family relocating fairly frequently. So, I accepted my first job in a small town called Pingelly. As I had spent five years growing up there, and still had plenty of mates who lived in town, it was exciting to be heading back there. I got straight back into playing sport and loved the relaxed lifestyle and social side of things while gaining experience as a teacher. In my second year there, a few new teachers moved to town, including a city girl named Jodie, who claimed that she never really knew country towns existed. We started dating but at the end of the year, both found ourselves without a contract as the school was starting to downsize from a district high school to a primary school.

After much discussion, we decided that we would both return to Perth, move back home with our parents, and do some relief teaching and save money with the aim of heading to the United Kingdom later that year. Way leads on to way and, although I had returned to live at home, I had gained experience and this was just part of my journey. Moving to the United Kingdom was a pretty big decision considering we hadn’t been together a long time in the scheme of things and I had never been on a plane before. We managed to secure jobs before we left and booked our one way tickets for July 2005. We landed in the United Kingdom only a few weeks after the London bombings and quickly had to adjust to a faster pace of life.

Whilst I absolutely loved living in the United Kingdom, teaching was not all that I had hoped it would be at Daubeney Middle School and some days, due to the behaviour of the kids, I felt as though I was just hanging around to get a pay cheque. Whilst my experience wasn’t as bad as some stories you hear about in teaching circles, it was the first and only time that I questioned whether teaching was what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life. We finished our contracts and then headed back home to Perth, where we moved back in with our parents again. Boys, the way is not always a straight line. We had come back with less

207 YEAR 12

than $500 between us. I randomly picked up work as a salesman for a spa company and would help a mate out on weekends cleaning building sites for some extra cash.

For those of you who are considering a gap year/travel, I could not recommend it highly enough and I encourage you to consider working overseas at some stage to gain some experience. For those of you who are looking for jobs now that school is finished, don’t be too quick to narrow down what you are prepared to do. There are boundless opportunities out there and you never know where work may take you, or which way you will go.

At the end of 2006, after being away from teaching for six months, I was ready to go again. I got in touch with a Deputy Principal who needed someone who could teach Mathematics and a bit of Physical Education and wondered if I would be interested. After some deliberation, I accepted the job and we headed down to Katanning, the heart of the Great Southern.

Five of my most memorable years were spent living in Katanning. I was finally able to play in a Football premiership after years of heartache, my Golf handicap went from bad to still-not-great, and I was given some opportunities which really helped to shape where I wanted to go with my career. One of these opportunities was becoming a Year Coordinator – similar to a House Head in many ways – and I thrived in the role because I felt I was making a positive difference to young people. This was the way that I knew I wanted to go with my career. Jodie and I finally got married and soon made the decision that it was time to move back to Perth.

Life in Perth remains unpredictable thanks to these two little monsters who mean the world to me. I am at that stage where I arrive home and my boys excitedly race out the door to greet me – it is an amazing feeling.

For me, this is the single most important job in my life and it’s scary given that I needed no experience or qualification. Whilst I am not quite yet in the same position that your parents are, I can appreciate the sacrifices that they have made for you and I hope that in due course, you will thank them for their love and support during the past 12 years.

I feel as though I have been giving pretty standard bits of advice throughout my speech – encouraging you to travel, gain experience, try different jobs, step through every open door, and that way leads on to way. I do

208

believe this advice and that keeping things simple is the best approach.

But boys, part of my thinking behind the speech tonight is that I wanted to give you a different bit of advice that you may not have considered or heard before. You have been fortunate to get wonderful advice from many sources over the years – teachers, coaches, parents, Google, Wikipedia – and who can forget Mr Doney’s advice – but like any advice you are given, you take what you want from it.

So something that I would like to encourage you all to consider is spending time in a country town, not a boys’ weekend down south but rather time there working on a farm, gaining experience as a professional once you have a qualification behind you, or simply travelling down with some mates to play with a local sporting team for a season. Trust me, you would be welcomed with open arms and you would love it. Plus, you already have some pretty handy contacts through the boys here in Keys House so it’s actually easier than you think. Living in Perth comes with living a fast-paced lifestyle, and whilst there is nothing wrong with this I do believe that sometimes a change of pace and a change of environment can be good for us. I can tell you from my own personal experience that living in the country really helped shape me as a person and helps me to have a more laid-back approach to life, as well as helping me to stay calm under pressure.

This different pace of life has taught me to step back from insignificant daily stresses that are ever present in a busy city life and to keep things in perspective.

the way, you might get lost along the way or you might have to get out of the way. Had someone told me the way that my life was going to go after I left school, I would have taken that option in a second, including all of the ups and downs that have come with it. But the best part has been the unpredictability of life’s journey.

As Fleetwood Mac sang, “You can go your own way.” That is what I want to encourage you all to do.

I would like to finish my speech tonight with a poem titled ‘Walking Away’ by C. Day Lewis.

The poem is dedicated to Day-Lewis’s first son, Sean, and recalls a day when he was watching Sean go in to school. For the parents here tonight, this might capture the way you felt about your own son when he started school many years ago – and boys, this might capture how you feel now as you head off into the world.

It is eighteen years ago, almost to the day – A sunny day with the leaves just turning, The touch-lines new-ruled – since I watched you play Your first game of football, then, like a satellite Wrenched from its orbit, go drifting away Behind a scatter of boys. I can see You walking away from me towards the school With the pathos of a half-fledged thing set free Into a wilderness, the gait of one Who finds no path where the path should be.

That hesitant figure, eddying away Like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem, Has something I never quite grasp to convey About nature’s give-and-take – the small, the scorching Ordeals which fire one’s irresolute clay.

I have had worse partings, but none that so Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly Saying what God alone could perfectly show – How selfhood begins with a walking away, And love is proved in the letting go.

This advice must seem a bit weird for those boys in Keys House who already come from country towns, therefore I encourage you boys to make the effort to get your mates down there as often as you can. I also want to acknowledge that this time of year is actually far from relaxing for many country people who are likely to be heading home to hop back on their harvesters tomorrow.

I stand here genuinely excited about which way you will all go with your lives. There may be times in your life where you don’t know

I would now like to invite parents and guests to be upstanding, and fill your glasses as I propose a toast to the Scotch College Class of 2016.

Thank you.

Mr Scott Galipo Head of Shearer House

227 AWARDS AND PRIZES

DUCES OF SCOTCH COLLEGE JAMES NAYLOR-PRATT (IB) James Naylor-Pratt’s academic record is nothing short of exceptional. He is an intelligent, thoughtful and talented young man whose obvious academic ability combined with his highly disciplined approach to his studies has seen him achieve the highest grades possible in six of the seven learning areas. His commitment to his studies was highlighted this year when he was awarded Academic Honours after receiving Academic Excellence in every semester from Year 8 to Year 12. His remarkable academic achievements have been recognised by his award of the Tuckwell Scholarship by the Australian National University. Recipients of the Tuckwell Scholarship have demonstrated much more than a superior intellect. They demonstrate a desire and determination to use their natural abilities to realise their full potential in order to make a difference in the world. James is certainly a most worthy recipient of this prestigious scholarship. He was also awarded the most promising Male Philosopher at this year’s Australasian Philosothon and numerous academic awards at state and national level. While James’ achievements both in and out of the classroom are quite remarkable, it is his humility, consideration of others and quiet determined approach that have made him a role model for us all. James received subject prizes for: • • • •

German ab initio (SL) Literature (HL) Mathematics (SL) Dux of the Year 12 IB Diploma Programme.

CAMPBELL WILLIAMSON (WACE) Campbell Williamson has set an incredibly high standard for himself. He studied the full six subjects as a WACE student, receiving five A grades. His remarkable academic ability is matched by his outstanding work ethic. His diligence, fortitude and conscientiousness are a wonderful example to those around him and he has been fittingly acknowledged for his academic achievements with Academic Honours, an award presented only to students who have achieved Academic Excellence in eight semesters in the Senior School. Campbell is a respectful, diligent and courteous young man who received subject prizes for: • • • •

Chemistry ATAR Drama ATAR The Raven: Senior Prose Prize Dux of the Year 12 WACE Programme.

BRADEN RETALLACK (VET) Braden Retallack has consistently displayed an admirable work ethic that has seen him achieve A grades in four areas of his academic programme. Braden’s determination to perform to the very best of his ability saw him produce work of the highest standard that was rewarded with his completion of the Certificate IV in Business earlier this year. A delightful, well-mannered young man who has a thoroughly agreeable nature, Braden has seized his opportunities at Scotch College. He has contributed enormously to the Boarding House and walked the entire length of the Bibbulmun Track. Braden received subject prizes for: • • • • •
