PERFORMS ADDRESS TO A HAGGIS
On Tuesday 22 October , the Centrepiece building at Melbourne Park was vividly plastered with the cardinal , gold and blue colours that obviously symbolise our school and values .

The Acknowledgement of Country was given by Philip Crocombe (’ 18 ) who mentioned how Indigenous students ‘ feel safe at Scotch ’. Angus Bodon (’ 20 ), President of YOBs encouraged the departing cohort to attend OSCA events and dinners since they ‘ bring back a sense of belonging like we are sharing tonight ’.
