College Cup

Competitors faced some incredibly light and variable conditions at this year’s College Cup. The OSC was able to field two boats to compete at Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club on 1 May, and both teams did a great job battling through the day and making the best of the conditions.

OSC Team 2 won the first two races and placed second in the third, which secured an 8-point victory over old rivals in CCGS.

Thank you to George Boulden (2015) for rallying the teams again this year, and hopefully, this is the start of a winning streak for the college!

Seniors Luncheon

Rodney Halcombe (OSC 1958), John McNaught (OSC 1956), Peter Bath (OSC 1958)

One of our favourite events of the year is the annual Seniors Luncheon. On 27 May we welcomed 130 gentlemen who had all graduated from Scotch over 50 years ago!

Student, Alex Pigneguy, piped for the opening of the event, and our guests were treated to a musical performance by Scotch

students, Archie and Hudson, who sang well-known songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In keeping with tradition Glen Longmire (1967) conducted the ‘Year Countdown’ with Ian Christie (1946) being our oldest OSC in attendance, having left school 76 years ago!

Class of 1992 Thirty-Year Reunion

The Class of 1992 celebrated their thirty-year reunion at the Gooch Pavilion on 24 June. The evening sundowner was enjoyed by over 50 attendees from the year group many of whom did not want to leave at closing time! Many thanks to Ben Leishman for putting together such a great event.

Reporter Collection

The newest members of our alumni were welcomed back on a very wet and windy morning in July to collect their Reporter and reconnect with old classmates and teachers. We enjoyed seeing them again and hope that the boys remain connected to the OSC as they move forward in their lives.

75th Anniversary of the Scotch Pipe Band

On Saturday 6 August 2022, we celebrated our Pipe Band’s 75th anniversary.

It was a fabulous celebration with over 350 attendees at the Gooch Pavilion for a community sundowner, featuring a tattoo

item by the whole band, items by the Middle School, Senior School, A-Team band and solo performances. John Patterson and Norm de Grussa topped off the evening by cutting the spectacular drum-sized birthday cake.

Class of 1982 Forty Year Reunion

Miles Hitchcock, Richard Marshall, Duncan Butterworth, Daniel Bateman

The gentleman from the Class of 1982 came together to celebrate their 50-year reunion at the College on 12 August. Alec O’Connell (Headmaster and Patron), Alex Aberle-Leeming (OSC 2008, Committee Member) and Peter Owens (OSC 1982, Head Boy) welcomed the group whilst the pipes were played by young Josh (Class of 2023). Forgotten friends were reunited and memories of shared classes, teachers and adventures made for lots of laughter and a memorable evening.
