OSC Events

Wine Tasting

Our popular Annual Wine Tasting event was held on 25 August last year and hosted by Jay Beeson (OSC 2001) at his family business, Old Bridge Cellars.

Amongst the cartons at Old Bridge Cellars warehouse, guests were treated to a beautiful range of locally produced wines from Denmark’s renowned Forest Hill Vineyard while hearing from their winemaker Guy Lyons (OSC 2001).

Business Directory Launch

We were delighted to officially launch the Scotch Business Directory at Euroz Hartleys in September 2022. Joined by business leaders Tim Bunney (OSC 2005), Richard Young (OSC 1982), Aaron McDonald (OSC 2001) and Garrett Prendiville (OSC 2003), we met diverse companies and explored what the future of business looks like.

Thank you to Euroz Hartleys, Domaine Naturaliste Wines and Gage Roads for generously sponsoring our event.

Our Business Directory is now open to alumni, parents and past parents within the Scotch community. Find it at scotch.wa.edu. au/scotch-business-directory

Founders Day Dinner

At last year’s Founders’ Day Dinner guests were treated to intimate details of the stories and deals that were behind the making of Australia’s most awarded stadium, Perth’s Optus Stadium.

A brilliant panel of guest speakers included The Hon Colin Barnett MLA (past Scotch parent), John Flecker (OSC 1984 – CEO Multiplex) and Ian Olson (OSC 1985 – Chair Good Drinks Australia), facilitated by current parent and 6PR radio host, Oliver Peterson.

PSA Golf Day

The annual PSA Old Boys Golf Day was held at the Cottesloe Golf Club last October.

Competing against a field of 128 golfers, the Scotch team narrowly claimed the Shield with solid points from our top players, Tony Bovell (OSC 1970), Rod Sedgwick (OSC 1970), Richard Young (OSC 1970) & Alex Gordon (OSC 1997).

It was a fantastically fun day of camaraderie with a healthy dose of competition.

An interesting fact – Scotch College won the first event in 1956 and has won 23 times since! There’s only been one draw, which was between Old Aquinians’ Association and Christ Church Grammar School – Old Boys’ Association in 1983. Old Haleians Association has won 15 times, Aquinas 10 times, Old Wesley Collegians’ Association 7 times, Guildford Grammar School 6 times, Christ Church 3 times and Trinity College once.

Class of 2012 Ten Year Reunion

Around 70 members of the Class of 2012 enjoyed their Ten-Year Reunion at The Sandbar in Scarborough in November. Matt Kelly, 2012 School Captain, made it back from an interstate match with the West Australian Sheffield Shield cricket team

just in time for the event, and the parents of Matthew Jonklaas, Pat and Sue, who very sadly passed away in 2018, joined the group briefly at the beginning of the night in remembrance of Matt who will always remain a beloved member of the Class of 2012.

St Andrews Day Vale

The Old Scotch Collegians held the St Andrew’s Day Vale Service in the Scotch College Chapel on 30 November, followed by morning tea in the Memo Hall Foyer.

The memorial service is an annual occasion for the friends and families of Old Scotch Collegians who have passed away in the preceding year, to come together in remembrance and celebration of their lives.

Tartan Lawyers Breakfast

PLC and Scotch Old Collegians, with students from both schools, joined us for the Tartan Lawyers Networking Breakfast at Perth’s Clayton Utz office.

A ‘NextGen Law’ presentation was moderated by Partner at Clayton Utz, and PLC Old

Collegian, Liz Humphry, alongside an insightful panel of Senior Associate at MinterEllison, Ed Fearis (OSC 2004), Senior Associate at King & Wood Mallesons, James Nagle (OSC 2006) and Senior Associate at Allens, Mathea McCubbing.

Class of 1963 Sixty Year Reunion

In March, the Class of 1963 celebrated their Sixty Year Reunion! The cohort enjoyed pre-drinks overlooking the playing fields, and a buffet luncheon in the newly re-developed Gooch Pavilion. It was lovely to see a large group of old friends laughing and sharing memories from school and beyond.
