The Thistle - An E-Newsletter of Scotch College, Perth, Western Australia

Head of Middle School

We are excited about the reintroduction of the Scotch Highland Games. After much research and organisation by Mr Lawrence Felgate, the students of Scotch Middle School will be taking part in a modified recreation of the Games, last seen at Scotch in the 1990s.

At 10:40am, on Friday 23 September, staff, students and parents, will gather on the playing fields for a Pipe Band display before the games commence at 11.00am. There will be the Kiltie Dash, Tug-o-War, spear throw, stone throw, hay bale challenge, Highland Steps and Welly (boot) throw. The OSC have funded two face painters for the day so that boys can be decorated in their House colours.

The boys will be competing in their Houses and with the help of some of the Old Scotch Collegians this should be a fun day, celebrating a past Scotch tradition. The festivities will conclude at end of the school day.

Mr Richard Ledger

Head of Middle School
