FABULOUS YEAR
our students were treated to a very special video message from Scotch ’ s oldest Old Boy , Rev Bill Morgan (’ 34 ), who conveyed not only his best wishes , but also his judicious advice on how to lead a fulfilled life . After Geoff Liu , School Vice Captain , raised a toast to our teachers , the Principal , Dr Scott Marsh , spoke about some of the current perils our students face , such as the decline of Western civilisation , before encouraging them to safely ‘ seek fame and fortune ’, knowing they will always have Scotch College as a place to call home .
Entertainment was provided by the very impressive Scotch Pipes and Drums Band , following their outstanding success in the World Pipe Band Championships , and six boys ’ achievements in the World Solo Drumming Championships . The Cardinals , the Scotch Show Band and school staff member Michael Waugh also provided wonderful entertainment for the boys and their parents . The night ended with the traditional mothers dancing with their sons , before a final hearty rendition of the much-loved Loch Lomond .
