As our Summer break becomes a distant memory, and we're well into 2014, which is shaping up into a very full year with the events and initiatives the OSC has planned.
Our first Reunion is the 20 Year Reunion for the Class of 1994 to be held at the College on the 21st of March, followed shortly by our Sundowner on the 27th of March, which also heralds the Boat Club Dinner and the Head of the River. When you combine these with the College Cup, Wine Tasting, Founders Day Dinner and Seniors' luncheon, a full calendar is ahead of us.
During 2014 we also plan to host once more our Alumni-Connect function with PLC as well as our Career Focus Breakfasts for the current Year 12 cohort, hosted and presented by Old Scotch Collegians.
We've also critically reviewed the success of our Structured Tuition Mentoring Programme and plan to repeat this in 2014.
One event that we will focus on particularly this year is Founder's Day. We are exploring a number of options to freshen up the format, make it more inclusive and bring together the OSC community for a really memorable evening.
We've worked on improving the OSC's governance and financial arrangements, and changed the meeting format of the OSC Committee with the full committee meeting quarterly. We have formed smaller, dedicated sub-committees to better address the needs of our evolving association. The sub-committees are; Membership, Appeals & Fund Raising; Events and Initiatives and they have been formed to assist the association to become more agile and implement longer term strategies that ultimately support the College.
I hope that many of you will attend the March Sundowner on the 27th and enjoy some good company with your fellow OSCs.
Remember to look for OSC on Facebook and LinkedIn to stay current, and to enjoy some news and achievements from OSC's around the world.

President Old Scotch Collegians
