State Final of the UN Evatt Competition

Congratulations to  Sam Wake (Year 12, Brisbane)  and  Lachlan Norcott (Year 12, Anderson)  who placed ahead of 161 teams to win the State Final of the UN Evatt Competition last Friday. Each team represented a country in the UN Security Council and were given three UN resolutions to write amendments for, negotiate, debate and speak to. Sam was also awarded best public speaker. The boys will represent Scotch College (and WA) for the final time when they compete in the Nationals in December.

Surfing WA Metropolitan Schools Competition and State Final 

In mid-August Scotch College competed in the Surfing WA Metropolitan Schools competition. Congratulations to  Archie Frazer (Year 12, Ferguson)  and  James Bennett (Year 11, Brisbane)  who were winners in the Senior surfing and  Jackson Conti (Year 9, Brisbane)  and  Joe Matthews (Year 10, Anderson) who placed second in the Junior surfing. Our body-boarders fought hard but were eliminated in the semi-finals. Everyone contributed their best and in a full team effort, Scotch College won the Metropolitan Schools Day 3 Trophy. The Senior surfing team moved on to the State Final in which they performed well in a very tough heat and went out to the eventual winners, Margaret River Senior High School.

The squad consisted ofChris Zyweck (Year 12, Alexander), Finn Lumsden-Lowe (Year 12, Ferguson), Luke O’Loughlin (Year 12, Ross)Lachlan Hyndes (Year 12, Ross), David Chan (Year 12, Stuart), Bailey Thomson (Year 11, Brisbane)Anakin von-Bachofen (Year 11, Stuart) and Nelson Hegge (Year 10, Stuart). After topping their group (which included a notable victory against Aquinas College), Greenwood was accounted for in a third-set tie break, which set up a final against Margaret River Senior High School. Once again, a third-set tie break was required to separate the teams with Scotch coming from behind to secure a 16–14 tie-break win. Congratulations to David Chan who was named Division A, Most Valuable Player.
