Parents' Association

The Year 7 Parent Dinner held on 7 March in the Scotch College Dining Room was a great success, with 151 parents attending. Head of Middle School, Richard Ledger, gave an introductory speech and attended with his wife Sue. Year 10 student Hamish McLean was the Piper who "piped" the parents in to sit down at their tables. The event was organised by Year 7 Parents' Association representatives Karen Azzopardi and Sue Moffat, who paid tribute to Scotch Catering Manager Gregg Wild and functions coordinator Claire Tuffin for providing "fantastic" food on the evening. The door prizes were won by Katrina Chalmers and Debbie Newport. Thanks to the following parents who helped set up on the day: Peter Law, Katrina Chalmers, Hamish Moffatt, Bernie McIlheney, Ari Harold and Jo Gale. Flower arrangements from the dinner were taken to Wearne Hostel by Scotch College boys.
