Scotch Parents
Thank you to all our parents and families for your generous voluntary contributions which makes it possible to provide extra valuable resources and initiatives for our boys and the greater school community. Even in times of hardship, the generosity from our Scotch parents is overwhelming and we have been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to fund several very worthwhile projects and resources for our School during 2020.
Studio Scotch: The Range Project
One of the outstanding projects which has received funding by Scotch Parents is Studio Scotch – a podcasting/vodcasting studio on campus that provides students, school leaders, OSC and teachers an increasingly popular and powerful medium through which to share and communicate the culture and life at Scotch. The music department has expressed interest in collaborating via the digital music curriculum which will see a dedicated Studio Scotch space in the Music Building, with plans to start towards the end of this term. Currently, there is a studio set up in the OSC reading room which looks fantastic.
Part of the Studio Scotch platform is The Range Project - an educational podcast that draws lessons from those who have made a habit of expanding their range. With GRIT Week coming up, one of their next projects will be to record interviews relating to resilience and persistence. OSC Alex Aberle-Leeming will be discussing how he overcame learning challenges through high school.

Join the Committee
Our final Scotch Parents meeting for 2020 will be held on Wednesday 2 December in the Dining Annexe from 7pm. We would love to see parents from Junior and Middle school come along, have a drink and a bite to eat and celebrate the end of the school year. We will also be holding our AGM and looking for some new and energetic members for the committee. It is a very rewarding and fun group to be part of that makes a significant contribution to the Scotch community. If you are interested in finding out more please contact us at scotchparents@scotch.wa.edu.au.
