FRASER IS
SCOTCH’S
46TH SAGSE
SCHOLAR
Cross-cultural opportunity
Fraser Miscamble (Year 12) has become the 46th Scotch boy to be
awarded a scholarship from the Scholarships for Australian-German
Student Exchange (SAGSE), in the organisation’s 52nd year. This year,
12 scholarships were awarded to young Victorians studying German
in either Year 11 or Year 12, who wish to broaden their horizons and
contribute to cross-cultural understanding and a peaceful future.
At the completion of his Year 12 exams, Fraser travelled to
Germany with the 11 other Victorian scholarship recipients and
recipients from other states plus New Zealand. They will spend
approximately 10 weeks with German host families, attend a camp
over winter and take a trip to the capital city, Berlin, at the conclusion
of the stay.

Fraser’s scholarship was generously donated by Bosch, and
the presentation was held at Leonda by the Yarra, attended by his
German teacher, Mr Warren Pratt, and his Head of House, Mr David
Brown. Also attending were several of the 45 previous Scotch College
scholarship recipients, including the very first one, Dr Richard Sicree,
(‘71) who went on the exchange in SAGSE’s fourth year.
