Year 10 Round Square Exchange Programme

Current Year 9 boys interested in applying for a Round Square short-term exchange in the 12 months from Spring Term 2015 to Winter Term 2016 are invited to collect an Exchange Application Form from the Student Services office. During the past 12 months Scotch boys have travelled to Denmark, India, Peru, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, USA and Canada. This is an exciting opportunity for boys to have a unique experience in a Round Square school in another part of the world. Boys travelling overseas typically go for five to six weeks and often in part over a holiday period, missing a minimal amount of Scotch tuition. Application Forms need to be completed and submitted by the end of this term. Please contact Bill Cordner for further information. wjcordner@scotch.wa.edu.au

Cancelled: Human Rights Arts and Film Festival @ Scotch

Unfortunately we have had to cancel the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival, planned for June 28 in the Dickinson Centre. With one week to go ticket sales were insufficient to justify further preparation for the event. The Melbourne Human Rights Arts and Film Festival directors have graciously agreed to continue working with Scotch to develop the concept for a future event. The individuals and agencies who were to come on the day have also indicated a willingness to be involved in a future event of this nature.
