A FINAL CELEBRATION OF ACADEMIA AND
ACHIEVEMENTS
On Thursday 17 October in the Memorial Hall , all those in attendance were privy to the life experiences and wisdom of our distinguished guest and Vice Chairman of the Scotch College Council , the Rev Dr John Wilson , whose career includes numerous eminent roles , notably as Moderator-General of the Presbyterian Church of Australia from 2016-2019 and board member of the World Reformed Fellowship . His frequent travels and support to Presbyterian Churches in Malawi , Zambia and India provided our students with some inspirational guidance as they prepared to depart our school .
