This is a big week for the College as we open the doors for inspection in all that we do. During the week three evaluators will look at, question and report on how we as a College are implementing the IBO, in particular the MYP and DP programs. As an IBO World School we must meet, or exceed, the critical standards that give the Baccalaureate the international reputation for rigour and integrity it enjoys. On Friday we invite prospective new families to Middle School during our annual Open Day. From 8.30am-10.30am we answer questions and offer a show and tell to try to give new families a feel for what a Scotch College education is all about. In both of these events the boys play a significant role in showcasing our mission, our values, our activities and our outcomes. It is an exciting week.
To the Parents Association and Melissa Harkins in particular with her band of willing workers, a huge thank you for hosting a wonderful Year 7 Dinner last Friday evening. Not only was it a lovely meal, I received a wonderful insight into the energy, the camaraderie and very social nature of this years' Year 7 parent cohort. Our boys probably haven't realised this yet, but they have a dynamic group of parents looking out for them.
