It was fourth time lucky for SEB ANGUS (’ 05 ) and Emma Hays , daughter of PETER HAYES (' 73 ). Seb and Emma ' s wedding was postponed three times during 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic . Finally , they were all set for Saturday 13 March – and then Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews scheduled a five-day lockdown , beginning at midnight on Friday 12 March . Thinking quickly , the couple asked if the ceremony could be brought forward to 6pm on Friday , when a wedding rehearsal had been scheduled .
At very short notice , everyone involved in the wedding had to change their plans and be ready by 6pm on Friday – bride , groom , wedding party , guests , family , OSCA Chaplain Graham Bradbeer , and Scotch staff ( including the Wedding Coordinator , Chapel Verger , Organist , and Events , Grounds , Maintenance and Security staff ). The wedding reception at the Melbourne Club was brought forward to Friday evening , and had to conclude by 11.30pm to enable guests to be home prior to the start of the lockdown at 12 midnight .
Seb said : ‘ The wedding was a memorable occasion and a wonderful celebration , thanks to all those involved in making it eventually happen . Emma and I are forever grateful to the School and the Old Scotch community .’
COLIN KIEL (’ 06 ) lives at Ali Curung , an isolated Aboriginal community three and a half hours ’ drive north of Alice Springs , with a population of 600 . Colin has taught at Alekarenge School for the past seven years , and has been Principal for the past three years . ‘ During my time as Principal we have more than doubled attendance rates , employed the first local Aboriginal woman
as the preschool teacher , and introduced Years 10 , 11 and 12 ,’ Colin told Great Scot . ‘ The Years 10 / 11 / 12 traineeship is an offsite vocational education and training program , teaching agriculture , mechanics and hospitality , to build pathways to employment within the community .’
In 2016 Colin received an award as primary teacher of the year for the Northern Territory ’ s Barkly region , and in 2020 he was Principal of the year for the Barkly region . The school also received awards for primary teacher of the year and Aboriginal educator of the year .
‘ I continue to campaign for equal opportunity and improved outcomes for some of the most vulnerable Australians ,’ he said .
Congratulations to PETER HOLMES (’ 07 ) and Matt O ’ Halloran , who were married at the Sorrento Bowls Club on 7 March , in a surprise celebration in front of family and friends .
