Scotch College and Tiwi College have had a strong partnership for decades , with immersion programs helping our boys to experience all that Indigenous culture has to offer . With the aim of strengthening one of our brightest partnerships and raising money for a valuable cause , Scotch ’ s Charity and Events Prefects ( Ronan Ahl , Tommy Kluckow , Mike Winneke , Darcy Cullen and Sam Luo ) organised Scotch ’ s first-ever Ice Plunge for Tiwi .
On Friday 25 August , the Scotch Principal , staff and students braved the icy water in a dunk tank to take the plunge , raising funds in support of Tiwi . The plunge featured appearances from our Principal , Dr Marsh , along with the Head of Upper School , Mr Rayner , and Head of Middle School , Ms Stalker , and highly anticipated staff appearances from Mr Byrnes , Mr Powell , Ms Scott , Ms Gates , Ms Christensen , Rev Assender , Mr Blackmore , Mr Pattinson , Mr Patel , as well as School Captain Dion Whitfield and Captain of Football , Jagga Smith .
The icy dip was a huge success , with the boys coming out in St Andrews Square to cheer on teachers and boys in a beautiful show of community spirit . More than $ 12,500 was raised to fund the building of an Arts School at Tiwi to preserve Indigenous Culture – a significant sum , making a big splash and an even bigger impact on Tiwi College .
