There was also engagement excitement for
Alex Monck and his fiancee Elouise Dellit,
and wonderful baby news. Congratulations to
Eliza and Simon Kennedy on the news of their
3rd, and to Richelle and Torben Brookman
whose 2nd baby is on its way.
Organising an event like this does take a bit
of time and effort, but for me it was so lovely
to see everyone laughing and having a great
time - it was definitely worth it. On the night
everyone was very appreciative and even
talking about a 25-year reunion - It might just
take us 5 years to recover from this one!
To be around old mates again gives you
energy and inspiration, I really do look
forward to the next milestone.

30 Year Reunion
A great day/evening was had by those who
attended. Lots of laughs were had. We would
like to thank Michael Twelftree for allowing
us to use his winery as our venue, Two Hands
winery. This made our day.

40 Year Reunion
On Saturday night 24 October 2015, 35
Scotch Old Collegians attended the Class
of 1975 reunion at the Edinburgh Hotel. As
expected, it was a great night remembering
the times we had at Scotch. Many memories
were shared from the start of Co-ed, times
on Goose Island and a notorious Clayton
canoeing camp. It was great to see many
people travel from the country and interstate,
as well as from New Zealand. The reunion
went well into the early hours of Sunday
morning after a walk from the Edinburgh
hotel to the Torrens Arms to continue on with
stories from school and what everyone is
doing now.
Thanks to Rob Cleghorn, Simon Cameron
and Mark McNiel for assisting in finding
those who attended. We have a Facebook
page “Scotch College Class of 75” – please
do join it so we can stay in touch and plan our
next reunion.

50 Year Reunion
On 14 August 2015, Old Scholars
from the 1965 Alumni year,
and their partners, gathered
in the drawing room at Scotch
College to celebrate 50 years
since leaving the school. We
were warmly welcomed by
College Principal Dr. John
Newton, followed by a tour of the
College amenities with former
Headmaster, Ken Webb.
Many of the group had not been
back to Scotch since leaving in
1965 and were most impressed
with the modern facilities. At the
same time, they were flooded
with memories of their days at
Scotch as they toured the older
classrooms and buildings that
remain today.
Former Head Prefect, Dr. Brian
Croser AO gave a moving
address about how the school
influences who we are throughout
