mindset , thanking the Principal for his guidance and the School Vice Captain , Thomas Kluckow , for his friendship and support . Dion said it had been an honour for him to lead the school .
Mr Alex Sloan then introduced and thanked our guest speaker for his work with the School Council . Dr Peter Collins serves as Principal at the Nous Group , specialising in leadership development , strategic guidance and matters concerning integrity and ethics . He also held leadership roles as the head of the Australian National Centre for Ethical Leadership and as the Director of the Vincent Fairfax Fellowship in Ethics .
Dr Collins spoke vividly about the importance of character formation , through numerous anecdotes that centred around his encounters with Old Scotch Collegians around the world , whose
ethics , he attributed , found their source at Scotch during the boys ’ formative years .
Dr Marsh reinforced this notion by reminding the boys that it ’ s ‘ more about who you are rather than what you do ’ and brought the evening to a close , after Mr Sloan ’ s concluding remarks . The College Song was followed by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria , the Right Reverend Ian Hutton , giving his benediction to all assembled .
Night-time had fallen on Scotch when all present exited the Memorial Hall , some leaving for a supper provided by the school , while others making their way home ; all with a glow in their hearts , knowing how cherished they have been , and that the Scotch Family will always be there for them .
