Parents' Association

The new Scotch College Parents Association 2016 Committee held their first meeting on Wednesday 11 November 2015.

We now also welcome Abby Fry to the Secretary position and I look forward to working with her during 2016. Bourby Webster from the Perth Symphony Orchestra presented her Term 3 'PLAY WITH US' report to the PA.

Our major funding initiative in 2015 was to fund a whole of School "Immersion" music mentorship programme with the PSO consisting of a number of collaborative concerts, mentoring and share the chair programmes across the School. It also included an ensemble performance at the 2015 Welcome BBQ back in January.

A number of exciting funding initiatives have been approved for 2016 - with a technology focus - watch this space for more details over the coming months.

The PA also funded three new Pacer sailing boats to complement a similar number funded by the School and was pleased to be part of the "blessing of the fleet" by Reverend Lewis on Friday 13 November 2015.

Save this date - a Welcome BBQ will be held on Sunday 31 January to welcome all families (particularly new parents) to the start of the school year. This event will be free and will include refreshments, soft drinks and a sausage and salad bun. It will take place on the Middle School Quadrangle from 4.30pm - 7.30pm on Sunday 31 January 2016.
