3 The Scots School Albury International Marketing By Heather Norton, Principal Following a decision to actively promote the School to International students by the School s Board, the first step was taken in May 2009, when Mr. Douglas Evans, Director of Enrolments and International Admissions and Miss Marnie Miller, Co-ordinator of Enrichment and Learning Support, represented the School in Hong Kong and China. There they met with strong interest. To reinforce the School s interest in attracting international students as a facet of its Marketing programme, a follow-up visit in July of the same year to Shanghai, China was undertaken by the Principal, Mrs. Heather Norton accompanied by Doug Evans. Here they visited and established productive contacts with nine reputable International Education Agents in both Hong Kong and China. It was proposed that the agents would be the face of the school and instrumental in increasing the School s presence in these Asian countries. Importantly they would provide a true reflection of the Scots School academic and co-curricular programme. The school presents itself as an attractive proposition to International students as it can provide a safe and caring environment with continuing excellent academic results. We know that we can provide an unrivalled experience for our international students. The importance of an established boarding presence is vital, as parents of international students want a place in which students needs are catered for in a compassionate and understanding manner. This is clearly articulated in the CRICOS enrolment standards for international students. International students also need opportunities to interact with the English language in many different situations and settings, and boarding encourages the use of spoken English - in fact international students are encouraged to use English throughout the day to assist them in establishing their understanding. In June 2010, fourteen members of the school academic staff undertook a two-week study tour of Hong Kong and China during the school s winter break. Despite torrential rain, soaring temperatures, and language barriers, those undertaking the trip embraced the opportunity to learn more about the Chinese culture. Many schools have commented on the unique nature of this tour which was ground-breaking and a tribute to the school s commitment to the international student programme. The group visited the Hong Kong Overseas Studies Centre (HKOSC) Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai. Whilst in Beijing they were also honoured to visit the Home of Light and Love, an orphanage for over 100 children. Whilst at the orphanage some of the School s staff taught an English lesson to the children, and were rewarded by a very enthusiastic audience. As a result of fundraising by the staff at Scots and other significant donations, including a generous gift from Kell Moore Solicitors in Albury, the group presented the Principal of the school, Mr. Shi, with a gift of $ A900 and a large supply of toiletries for the children. Mr. Shi indicated that he will use the gift to purchase coal for the school in the cold winter months. Heather Norton and Doug Evans travelled to Thailand to secure business with Complete Education and Touring Australia (CETA) s Managing Director, Andrew Gray. As a former Albury resident, he understands the unique nature of Scots School. Other initiatives include interfaith dialogue with Muslim and Christian communities in Indonesia, our biennial trips to Europe and Japan, and the ongoing association with our sister school - Shohei High School. We have established links with a school in Vanuatu and are visiting New Caledonia in 2012 as part of a French Immersion program. We regularly host international students through Rotary, NACEL and private arrangements with parents. Each of these experiences give a richness to our school and an insight into our own global village. In July 2012, we welcomed 7 Thai students to Scots as they enjoyed short-term enrolment in our Boarding House. At the same time our first mainland Chinese student, Chris Zhou, commenced in Year 10. Chris is the first of our students from the western Chinese city of Chengdu. Interest for enrolment at Scots is very strong in this area. The International programme is part of the School s quest to provide an education for all students with a global focus. Our aim to learn locally and contribute globally is enhanced through this vibrant program and our international focus. Winter 2012 THE DRUM 3

6 Scots News The Stephens Room Naming and Dedication By Noelle Oke The construction of the Indoor Sports Centre meant the dismantling of the Stephens Centre. This building, constructed in 1994, had provided a pavilion for sporting events and was a venue for school activities as well as a meeting facility. It was a valued resource utilised by the whole school. The Stephens Centre also served another purpose; it honoured a member of the Scots School community, Noel Stephens, who in his long association with the school has been a student, an active member of the alumni association, a parent and a longserving member of the school board. His time with first Albury Grammar School and then The Scots School Albury must be unique. Commencing as a day boy in 1944, he was elected Vice Captain and was the Dux of the school in 1949, his final year. After leaving school Noel remained strongly connected through his membership of the Alumni Association, The Albury Old Grammarians, both as a member and an office bearer from In 1958 he was invited to become a member of the AGS Council, the youngest person ever to receive such an honour. He remained a member of Council until 1971 when an Interim Council to oversee the amalgamation of the Grammar School with Woodstock Presbyterian Girls School was established. Noel rejoined The Scots School Albury Council in 1972, was elected its Vice- Chairman in 1982 and finally Chairman in 1983, a position he filled until During this period the Council changed its title to School Board. To ensure that Noel s contribution to the school remains recognised, the classroom in the Indoor Sports Centre now bears his name. Dedicated on November 11th 2011, the Stephens Room will continue to acknowledge Noel s exemplary service to, and connection with, the school. Long Serving Staff Retirements To teach is to touch lives forever (anon) The end of 2011 heralded five significant retirements. The school thanks these dedicated staff members for all they have given to the school and students, over many years. We wish them well in their retirement.

7 The Scots School Albury Vanuatu An experience in Practical Community Service At the beginning of 2010, students in Year 11 and their Year Coordinator, Mr Roger Barrows made a decision to support a public school in Vanuatu as their community service initiative. After a previous visit to the country and first-hand experiences in local schools, Mr Barrows and the Principal, Mrs Norton formulated a two-year plan to culminate in a visit to the school. Students formed a working party to fundraise for the cause. Over the following 18 months, more than 95 boxes of goods, which included sporting goods, stationery, hygiene products and books suitable for classes K to 12, were collected and packed. The astounding total amount raised was over $5000. Following discussions with Mrs Jennifer Bird, the Principal at Central School Port Vila, a decision was made to purchase a changeable sign for the front of the school and to spend the excess on practical equipment for their Science faculty. A trip to Vanuatu from June 23rd until July 3rd 2011 was planned for fourteen students, accompanied by Mr Barrows, Ms Sue Mitchell and Mrs Jenny Richardson, to give them a first-hand understanding of the lifestyle, culture and educational opportunities in a lessprivileged and vastly different country. Here they were introduced to the history and racial diversity within Vanuatu and the strong spiritual ethic within the community, by attending an uplifting and lively church service at the Heavenly Mission Church, the senior pastor of which is also the Director of the Central School Board. In the week that followed, our students worked from 7.30am until noon in K-6 classrooms at Central School. The week began with a welcome assembly, where Mr Barrows announced our donations of goods to the school. Group members were assigned a class and spent the following four days assisting the teachers with varied duties, which included listening to students read, taking Physical Education, General Studies and English classes, helping students complete their class work, as well as sharing information about Australia and The Scots School Albury. A definite highlight for our students was the ability to develop a rapport with their teacher and class of students, which culminated in sharing of gifts and donations of goods at a farewell assembly. Our students were all invited to take part, handing out awards to students from their classes. Afternoons were set aside for various cultural activities including a visit to Vanuatu s National Museum and Cultural Centre. Here students learned about many of the 83 islands, 6 provinces and the diverse cultures of Vanuatu. A highlight was a presentation by our Ni-Vanuatu host in traditional costume using song, stories and sand-drawing. The group toured around Efate Island visiting two remote schools in much need of supplies and assistance and one large boarding school run by the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. This was an eye-opening excursion for many, as the conditions of staff and students at the remote village schools is quite confronting, particularly at Ekipe, where we hope that some of our donated goods will be directed. Thanks must go to the fabulous staff at Port Vila Central School for hosting our students with such enthusiasm and giving insight into the amazing culture that is Ni-Vanuatu. We must also thank the staff at Coconut Palms Resort who went out of their way to welcome us and attend to all our requests. And finally, Mr Barrows, Ms Mitchell and Mrs Richardson wish to thank the fourteen Year 12 (Class of 2011) students and their parents. We know that so much was gained from this opportunity and we are grateful to have been able to open the doors of international community service to our students. Winter 2012 THE DRUM 7

8 Scots News Piping for Whispering Jack... twice in a lifetime In 2009 ten Scots pipers had the honour of playing with John Farnham at the AFL Grand Final pre-match entertainment and revelled in this once in a lifetime opportunity. Prestigious Building Award to Past Student John Tyrrell (Scots ) By Noelle Oke Fast forward two years and six members of The Scots School Pipe Band performed with the inimitable John Farnham to sell-out crowds at the Whispering Jack 25 Years On Melbourne concert series of his Australian Tour in November Like all things John Farnham, the Band were thrilled Jack s back when they received the invitation to play his anthemic You re the Voice in the encore for his seven sold-out Melbourne concerts at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda. Scots Pipers Callum McLeod, Natalie Sargent, Grantley Ward, Henry Ring, Olivia Toth and Nicholas Coughlan from Years 9-11 (2011), weren t even born when Whispering Jack debuted in 1986, but typical of a music superstar, John Farnham s music transcends the generations, and this generation are as hooked to his sound as so many before them. Thank you to Barry Gray of Pipers of Distinction, who has been John Farnham s Piper for over 20 years, for providing this opportunity for our students. The completion of the school s Indoor Sports Centre was the realisation of a long-held dream for the school. Its predecessor, the Walter Lindsay gymnasium was opened fifty four years ago and was the main focus for athletic and sporting pursuits at the school during that time. Over the years student numbers have climbed steadily to now be more than double the number that the old gymnasium could cater for. So the opening of the new facility heralded a new era in the school s ongoing development. The construction, as well as providing a state of the art facility, is also elegant to look at and complements its surroundings with great style. It has earned for its builder, Southern Cross Developers, two prestigious accolades. The first: the Master Builder of the Year Award for the North Eastern Area of Victoria and second the Excellence in Building Award in the $5 to $10 million category within the Riverina area. John Tyrrell, Principal of Southern Cross Developers, is delighted at the success of this enterprise. The school congratulates John on his success in taking out these two very welldeserved awards. 8 THE DRUM Winter 2012

9 The Scots School Albury Kate Millward Receives Two Australian Defence Academy Awards (Scots Class of 2011) By Noelle Oke Kate Millward (Scots Class of 2011) received two prestigious awards in her final year at school; the Australian Defence Force Academy Education Award and the Bobby Garrett Memorial Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) Award. The Australian Defence Academy Education Award is presented annually to Year 12 students in recognition of leadership potential, academic and sporting achievements exhibited during Year 11. The Bobby Garrett Memorial ADFA Award was established in 2006 for students from Albury Wodonga and surrounding regions wishing to attend the Australian Defence Force Academy. The Award was set up in memory of Bobby Garratt, a student of Catholic College Wodonga, who dreamt of becoming a pilot in the defence forces. It was Bobby s wish for this award to be set up for prospective ADFA students. His mother Julie established the Bobby Garratt Memorial Award to commemorate his passing in A representative of the Border Trust, the Community Foundation for the Albury Wodonga Region, together with Mr. Brad Collins from ADF Recruitment and Ms Julie Kiroluch, Bobby s mother presented Kate with the awards at a school assembly. In Year 11, 2010 Kate was chosen as Albury City s Young Citizen of the Year. At just 15, Kate had an astounding range of achievements across sporting, cultural and volunteering roles including Youth Council, Girl Guides, netball, tennis, basketball, pipe band, orchestra, and choir and as a participant in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. In the same year, Kate was also presented with the inaugural Marie Bashir Peace Award at Parliament House Sydney, as one of five young women to receive this award, in recognition of her contribution towards peace, harmony, social justice, leadership and community. This followed with the announcement that Kate had been awarded a NSW Order of Australia, for citizenship and community service in that year. In 2012 Kate is enjoying a GAP year, starting her adventure at Lathallan School, Johnshaven, Scotland. Making the most of her time in Scotland, Kate has joined the Fife Constabulary Pipe Band. In August, Kate will compete with their Grade 1 Band in the World Championships at Glasgow, her second appearance at the World s, the first being in 2010 when she played with the Pipe Band Club Australia. Whilst in Scotland Kate received notification that she has successfully gained the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and the Queen s Guide Award. Kate is due to return to Australia in October where she head to ADFA to train as a Naval Warfare Officer.

10 Alumni Profile Jane Hodges (Woodstock , Class of 1971) By Noelle Oke Jane Aeberhard-Hodges attended Woodstock School from She was the school s Vice Captain in 1971 and co-edited The Wren. Jane is now Director of the Bureau for Gender Equality with the International Labour Office (ILO) in Geneva where she has worked for the past twenty-five years as the Senior Labour Law Specialist responsible for English-speaking countries. She provides technical assistance on international labour standards and comparative labour law in the form of expert advice, drafting and technical training to governments (ministries of labour, justice, public service, gender etc.), labour tribunals, policy makers and leaders of workers and employers organisations. Jane has represented the ILO in many United Nations (UN) bodies during her career, in particular advocating international labour standards on non-discrimination, especially gender equality, with the treaty bodies. We spoke with her recently to find out a little of the path she has travelled from her Woodstock years to the present. What started you on the road to your present position? I loved school; I adored university and was passionate in my legal career! I guess it was my thirst for learning, together with a really happy feeling when sharing knowledge that led to having policy choices shaped by work I had done, that kept me moving towards an international career. My parents both enjoyed overseas careers: my Mum in the United Nations New York Head Quarters when it was first created - she was in the typing pool that went to Paris to assist drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! And my Dad was one of the first Blue Berets for United Nations peace-keeping back in the late 1940s, in Palestine. Did your years at Woodstock have an impact on your eventual career choice and if so what was it? Definitely yes! The teachers always encouraged me to strive for the best, to go that extra mile, and above all, Woodstock gave me a profound sense of social justice and equality between women and men that helped me in choices all through my early years. This led me to the United Nations. I had an interesting relationship with the Headmistress, and was sad to learn of her passing last year. Woodstock really taught me the importance of giving back, mentoring other women workers if the chance comes up and never giving up on your dreams! Was there a member of staff who inspired you at all? Several: Ms Kobza deepened my love of languages that Mum had already given me; Mrs Rossely had a divine patience and sweetness that gave us all a good role model; then of course the famous pair of our last years, Mr Bruce Thorpe (English/History) and Mrs Dorothy Thorpe (Geography), who for once treated the 5th & 6th formers as adults. They engaged me in many a deep discussion of the welfare state and human rights that ring true 30 years later. Where did you go to study after leaving school? I completed a BA (Modern Languages- French and Russian) and LLB at the Australian National University, then post graduate law studies at Sydney University and the Public International Law Course at The Hague Academy of International Law, Netherlands. For my legal career I passed the NSW Admission Board requirements to become a Solicitor and Notary Public, and was also admitted to practise as a Trade Marks Attorney. When I joined the International Labour Office in 1980, I undertook the UNESCO examinations for Spanish and am qualified to teach it. Was there a trigger that led you into the field in which you now operate? Having a family with international experience helped! I was never afraid to travel - in fact I relished getting on a plane (not so much now!). My work as Director of the ILO Bureau for Gender Equality is a natural extension of my human rights training and my love of the rule of law. How did you make the transition from Australian law practise to where you are now? In the early 1980s, despite legislative reform, Australia did not offer young female professionals a big future - I saw that the moment I got my first job at a major Sydney law firm where all the senior partners were old men, all the junior partners were old men, and all the important others were... you guessed it... men! My Mum and I talked about the frustrations of women in the firm getting all the hard desk work, but never a chance to 10 THE DRUM Winter 2012

11 The Scots School Albury Jane with her husband René and sons Théo and William accompany the partners to big litigation and an entry into the old-boys club : (looking back, I m glad that I never got into that club!) She suggested that I write to the UN to get international law experience, that the men did not seem interested in. That was good advice for all young women starting out: find your niche and work towards it! My CV was retained by a few of the specialised agencies and international financial institutions (thank goodness I did not accept to go to the World Bank!), but only for a 12-month contract. I chose the ILO, worked hard...and was offered another 12 month contract. I worked even harder and...i am still here, married to a Swiss, who is not a lawyer! For the record, I keep up really good contacts with my old law firm, where gender balance now rules among the partners and they are definitely younger (and more fun)! What is the greatest challenge in your work and why? Can you name me one country where gender equality is common-place, a reality at work? I guess you re not brimming over with candidates... That s the challenge that the ILO faces: despite some great breakthroughs over the last decades. I remain very proud of what I helped achieve in post-apartheid South Africa: however we still see sex discrimination persisting. One of its most vivid manifestations is unequal pay, just because you re a woman. Some parts of the world thrive on stereotypes for both women and men: it s not just in developing countries. I laughed to see the United Kingdom sports commentators trying to wriggle out of their sexist, outmoded comments during the last soccer season! Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family and where you live? Geneva must be so different from Australia? I m settled in Geneva but we lived for some time in Africa while I worked for the ILO, which I loved. My older son, Théo, has a Masters in International Relations from Geneva University and works in the private sector in the Old Town here in Geneva. He s very cute and does a lot of modelling with his girlfriend... now there s a gender role reversal for you! My younger son, William, is really talented academically: he s the youngest student admitted to Geneva Uni. to do a PhD in Mathematics, and is a super musician playing bass guitar in reggae groups; (look up Najavibes on u-tube!) He laughs at the photos of me playing the French horn in the Woodstock Orchestra... were we any good?!? My husband, René, is wonderful to still love us with all the running around: he s an artist/photographer and composes music for videos. My family in Australia are few; but we are very close. Chris, my brother, is also a lawyer (Albury Grammar, Class of 67), now based in Canberra. We try to see each other at Christmas time and he and my fabulous sister-in-law often stay in our Paris flat.

12 Alumni Profile Bronwen Morgan (Scots Class of 1984) By Noelle Oke Bronwen (photograph school magazine 1984) Bronwen and Jim with children Cassidy and Brooklyn When I left Scots at the end of 1984, I certainly never could have foreseen the winding path that would take me to Bristol on the west coast of England nearly 20 years later. First stop was Sydney, to study English and law, and then a year in Canberra working at the High Court, where I decided I wanted to become an academic. I went to Berkeley, in California, to do a PhD and 5 ½ years later moved on to my first academic job at Oxford University in the UK. My favourite memories of Oxford are of living on a narrowboat - 70 feet long and 7 feet wide - on a small tributary of the Thames River near a large meadow with buttercups and cows in it. The boat was 100 years old and called Mafeking, which partly inspired my buying it, since it seemed a symbolic link to my family having come from Southern Africa. While living on Mafeking, I spent some research leave in New York City, arriving there 2 days before the notorious day of 9/11... quite a time to pick. It had one happy consequence, though, because a few days afterwards, as a result of a coincidence over a 9/11 vigil, I met my future husband Jim, 12 THE DRUM Winter 2012 a Texan living in Brooklyn, and happily, it turned out that he was willing to move onto a houseboat in Oxford! Six years ago we both moved to Bristol as a result of job opportunities. Jim is a social worker who manages housing and services in the mental health field, and I now teach at the University of Bristol, which runs an excellent programme in socio-legal studies, my field of research, which is broadly speaking about how law works - and doesn t work - in its larger social and political context. Bristol is a wonderful city, and we ve put down more roots than we thought we might, not least because the UK has been a great place for the birth of our two lovely daughters, Cassidy (3 ½) and Brooklyn (1). I have just come back from my second year of maternity leave and am lucky enough to now have a year where my husband and I have switched places while he takes some time off paid work himself - this helps enormously with a challenging work/life balance. And that s where the long and winding road has stopped so far - symbolised by Cassidy and Brooklyn s 3 passports - Australia, UK and USA - as we stretch happily across three continents. Note: Bronwen and her family, parents Glynn and Ingrid and twin siblings Carla and Lisa, arrived at Scots as sponsored migrants from Zimbabwe, South Africa in Both Glynn (Science) and Ingrid (Music) taught at the school. In her final year Bronwen was Dux of the school. Her results were the best ever achieved at Scots to that date. She set herself a daunting programme of 17 units with her results giving her an aggregate of 467/500, placing her in the top 1% of the state. That year she wrote an account of the experience of migrating to a new country for the school magazine. Her final paragraph is quoted below: Emigration is like many things in life. You may not enjoy it; you may consider your life complete without that experience; but nevertheless it is something that matures you, widens your outlook on life, and builds you into a more positive being. If you let it, it could destroy you. If you face it with hope, you could discover a part of you that you never thought existed.

13 The Scots School Albury Lindsay Birrell (Albury Grammar , Class of 1953) By Noelle Oke Lindsay Birrell is the current President of London Legacy. He was in Australia in September last year to attend the Legacy Conference and to promote the lead up to the 100th Anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. London Legacy is the 50th Club of Legacy 1 Australia that still cares for 100,000 families of deceased veterans, mostly in Australia but also overseas, where there are families in 38 countries that London Legacy tries to support from its offices at Queensland House in The Strand, London UK. Legatee Andrew Hoy OAM (Scots, Class of 77), Australian Eventer and winner of 3 gold and one silver Olympic medals, agreed to become part of the Legacy family when he and Lindsay met whilst they were both being presented to Prince Charles at Australia House last year. They stayed together talking after the Prince moved on 5 and Andrew agreed to join London Legacy as a Legatee. Both Andrew and Lindsay found that they were both local lads from the NE VIC and southern NSW. Andrew was born in Culcairn, whilst Lindsay was born in Tongala. Lindsay shifted to live in Wodonga to live with an uncle when his father joined up in Lindsay and Andrew both attended the Albury Grammar School, although Andrew was at the school 25 years later than Lindsay. Just before Lindsay left London to come to Australia, Andrew told him about his new horse Rutherglen on which he had pinned his hopes to make selection for his seventh Olympics at the forthcoming London games as a member of the Australian Eventing Team. As a result Lindsay decided to promote Rutherglen the horse and the area Rutherglen at the 2012 ANZAC Gallipoli Legacy Ball in April of this year. During his visit to the area to negotiate how he could best achieve this, he visited the school and hooked up with local Legacy representative and Grammarian Rob Patterson (Albury Grammar, , Class of 64). One of Lindsay s suggestions during his visit to the school was to encourage a visit to London by a Scots group to participate in some way at one of the events during the Centenary of ANZAC proceedings. The school is in discussion with Lindsay about this exciting prospect. Andrew Hoy London Bound for 7th Olympics Congratulations to Andrew Hoy for his selection in the equestrian eventing team to compete for Australia in his record 7th Olympics, the most appearances in Olympic Games by an Australian. During Lindsay s Legacy visit to Rutherglen Andrew announced that his battle to qualify for the Olympics on his horse Rutherglen, was in memory of Australia s fallen soldiers and their families. We look forward to following Andrew s Olympic dream. Lindsay Birrell with Principal Heather Norton and 2012 School Captains Mikayla Verbunt and Angus Locke Winter 2012 THE DRUM 13

14 Rosehill Woodstock Rosehill / Woodstock Old Collegians Pay Tribute to Past Headmistresses By Helen Dunlop, Woodstock During the last eighteen months we have held two luncheons at the school. The first a Christmas in July in 2011 included tributes to founding schools Headmistresses, Miss Windridge, Miss Drennan and Mrs Britton. It was a great success and very enjoyable. Girls from 1930 s through to 1969 were represented. There was a wonderful atmosphere of caring, friendship and camaraderie which has been developing within the group since our Grand Reunion back in 2003, not only within the year groups but now also across the generations. Alice Dalrymple, winner of the Rosehill/ Woodstock Scholarship for 2011 was in attendance. Alice helped in unveiling the new Honour Board proudly displaying the names of the first six students to receive the scholarship. This Honour Board takes its place in the Centenary Function Room alongside our existing Captain and Dux Honour Boards. In 2012 we held an Autumn Luncheon on Sunday 22nd April. As at the previous luncheon we again honoured one of our Headmistresses. This time it was Myee Anzac Cross who arrived back at Woodstock in the last term of 1950 and who gave distinguished service to the school for ten years. It was again a well-attended day with nearly fifty girls present and we were pleased to welcome once again Mrs Heather Norton, Principal of The Scots School Albury and the current holder of the Rosehill/Woodstock Scholarship, Cathy Jiang. After lunch we all moved to the Rose Garden in the school grounds where a rose was planted in Mrs. Cross honour. It now joins the other roses that have been planted in the names of Miss Windridge, Miss Drennan, Mrs Britton and Mrs Donelly. The scholarship fund continues to gain momentum. Thank you for your donations. Every dollar is helping to create a fund that will enable us to present a worthwhile scholarship each year in memory of our schools. At the moment it has reached the magic total of approximately $30,000 however, if this is to be a prestigious award befitting the Rosehill and Woodstock names, it needs to continue to grow. Next year is the 10th Anniversary of the very successful Grand Reunion of 2003, how the time has flown. We hope that as many of our old collegians will make the effort to attend the Luncheon on Sunday April 28th 2013 at the school. Invitations will be sent out nearer the time; however the Marketing and Community Relations Office at Scots can also supply details. Remember, you are all welcome to attend Speech Day 2012 (Thursday December 13) when we will meet our 2012 Scholarship winner, enjoy one another s company and the Scots School s hospitality. Heather (nee Bruce) Donoghue, (School Captain 1960) gave a warm and fitting tribute to Mrs Cross and spoke of her influence on many girls during her years at the school.

16 Alumni News Sesquicentenary Scots Begins to Gear Up towards 2016 Not many people realise that The Scots School Albury, through its founding schools, is one of the oldest schools in New South Wales, established as it was in Only Sydney Grammar (1819), The King s School (1831) and Newington College (1863) were operating prior to this date. Scots can certainly claim the title to being the oldest rural boarding school in the state. It is only marginally younger than those two well known boarding schools in Victoria, Geelong Grammar (1855) and Geelong College (1861). It is no mean achievement to be 150 years old and we feel we have reason to celebrate. The school is looking to its community to suggest ways that this can happen. A preliminary group have held two meetings and will meet again in Term 4 to look at dates and venues, but the details of activities and means of celebration are open now for thought and discussion. If you have suggestions for activities or events that can be scheduled during this very important year we would like to hear from you. Please mark your contributions: SESQUICENTENARY 2016 You can contact us in several ways: By mail The Scots School Albury PMB 6006, AMDC Albury NSW 2640 Via the school website By alumni@scotsalbury.nsw.edu.au The Archive Detective The Case of the Disappearing Students of the 1970s By Noelle Oke Honorary Archivist The period was such a vital one in the history of the school. A new entity emerged that was so different to the schools from which it was fashioned. As often occurs, not all change is achieved smoothly. The boys were very protective of their campus, which had enthusiastically been male for over forty-odd years. The girls had already survived one upheaval at the beginning of the 1960s when they moved from their East Albury school and had at last settled into their new surroundings in North Albury. This was not an altogether comfortable coming together of the two schools; allowances had to be made on all sides, so it is understandable that the pupils of the new school did not have the same sense of attachment that pupils of older schools enjoy. The lack of official and unofficial photographic material from these years is worrying. Photos provide such an instant window into people and events. If this period is to be preserved and recorded in the school s long history, it is important that artifacts, memorabilia and documentation become an essential part of the archive collection. If you were a student during that time and have uniform items, sports clothing or equipment, photographs, personal recollections, school books or academic items that could be donated to the Archive they would be most gratefully received. Our storage facilities allow us to keep the collection in the best of conditions for the future and all donations are respectfully handled and cared for. Please contact the School Archivist by mail, phone or at archives@scotsalbury.nsw.edu.au We need your help! Can you help us locate... The Cadet Unit Pace Stick This item was issued to the unit and was the property of the current Senior Sergeant. It was kept in a red felt lined box and was treated with great respect.

17 The Scots School Albury Alumni News Update on The Scots School Albury Alumni Association By Bill Schultz, Alumni Coordinator Following a meeting of past students from Rosehill/Woodstock, Albury Grammar and Scots School it was decided to form a group comprising three representatives of each of the schools to meet with the Principal to hear about the school s vision for the future and how the Alumni can best help to facilitate and support this vision practically and philosophically.

18 Alumni News Western Australia Reunion Following the Grand Grammar Reunion of 2010 there was an expressed wish to have a reunion of the past students who were now living in Western Australia. Russell Heath (Albury Grammar, Class of 48) took the reins and contacted alumni in the West to ascertain the possibility of holding a get-together in that state. The answers were positive, so the date was set for Saturday October 29th 2011 at the Gleneagles Reception Centre in Karinyup. Past students from all three schools (Woodstock, Albury Grammar, Scots) were in attendance. Raleigh Sellars (Albury Grammar, Class of 52) who has a special relationship with the school, being the son of Headmaster Alex Sellars ( ) and who started at the school in 1940, spoke first to welcome everyone to the reunion. Alumni Coordinator Bill Schultz, who had travelled over from Albury for the gathering, talked about the history of the school and brought everyone up-to-date about recent achievements and future plans. Grant Pierce (Scots, Class of 78) a mining Engineer based in Perth, described his involvement in Tanzania, Ghana and the Congo in raising money and working with the people in those countries to build and refurbish schools. His work also extends to assisting in supplying fresh water systems to impoverished communities on the African continent. It was great to have students who attended the school in all the decades from the 1940 s to the 1990 s represented. From Raleigh Sellars ( ) to Emma George (Scots, Class of 82) and husband Ashley Vincent (Scots, Class of 82) who graduated from Scots in the 80 s. Ian Ellis (Grammar, Class of 48) and his wife Yvonne also made the trip from Albury to join in the reunion. It was a personal reunion as well for them, as organiser Russell Heath was the best man at their wedding. Grammarians were well represented by Max Belcher, Paul Druitt, Gil Hardwick, Peter Hall, Barrie Hill, Colin James, David Martin, Keith Moodie, Brett Shanahan, Peter Snowball, Peter Wilson and Trevor Winnett. Robyn Teasdale (nee McGillivray, Woodstock, Class of 70), Julia Watts (nee Webster, Woodstock, Class of 52) and Elizabeth Speer (nee Teed, Woodstock, Class of 56) represented the Rosehill/ Woodstock Collegians and Kim Tyler-Lees the 70 s Scotsonians. The evening concluded with all expressing a wish to repeat reunions of this type every two years in the West. Many thanks must go to Russell Heath for the enormous amount of work and his research prior to the event. Russell is an example to us all, for at the age of 80 he is still working a 40 hour week for an engineering company.
