Great Scot Obituaries
The Great Scot obituaries column is a significant section
of the magazine, recording the dates of birth, death and (where
applicable) the Scotch attendance years of all current and past
students, staff, School Council members, and others who
have made a significant contribution to Scotch College, the
Old Scotch Collegians’ Association or to the wider community.
THE SCHOOL’S POLICIES FOR
GREAT SCOT OBITUARIES ARE:
• The names, Scotch attendance years (where applicable)
and dates of birth and death of current and past students, staff,
and School Council members will be listed in the Great Scot
obituaries column.
• Family members or friends are invited to submit obituaries
for editing by the Archivist and the Great Scot editorial team.
All edited obituaries will be sent to originators for approval,
to help ensure that obituaries are an accurate, relevant and
interesting record of Scotch Family members’ lives.
• Only spouses for whom full marriage details (full maiden
name and exact date and place of marriage) are supplied will
be included.
• Reference will be made to multi-generational Scotch
connections (e.g., son, father, grandfather, great-grandfather).
• Special tributes recognising Scotch Family members who
have made an outstanding contribution to Scotch College, the
Old Scotch Collegians’ Association, or to the wider community
will be initiated by the Great Scot editorial team. In these
tributes, the School will seek to include material, including
reflections, quotes and photographs, from family or friends,
and from other sources.
• Scotch College takes no responsibility
for the accuracy of information supplied by family members
or friends, other than information which can be confirmed by
Scotch College records.
• Obituaries are limited to 350 words, with the exception
of those for very noteworthy people as determined at the
discretion of the Great Scot editorial committee.
• Photographs of Old Boys should ideally be from their
time at Scotch, and should be sent as TIF files with a resolution
of 300 dpi for photographs 6 inches x 4 inches, or 600 dpi
for a smaller photograph. Alternatively, original photos can be
donated, delivered or mailed to the Archivist for scanning
(and return, if not donated to the School).
Enquiries are welcome about Great Scot obituaries.
Please contact the Great Scot Editor, Mrs Durga Kamte,
on 9810 4302, or [email protected].
Tributes and photographs should be emailed to the School
Archivist, Mr Paul Mishura: [email protected],
or mailed to Great Scot Obituaries, Scotch College,
1 Morrison Street, Hawthorn 3122.
SCOTCH’S
PROGRESS –
through photographs
These are some of the
photographs being considered
for framing and display around
Scotch to show how the School
has changed and developed.
Many in the Scotch Family will
have photographs of Scotch
landscapes or of Scotchies in
them. The Archives invites you
to donate or share them to help
create a much more complete
picture of Scotch, and to broaden
the selection being considered for
permanent display around Scotch.
