Middle School Residence – Week 10, Summer Term 2022
Hi All,
What a first Term we just had!! and a huge ‘Well Done’ and ‘Thankyou’ to All the Boys, Families and Staff for their patience, resilience and care that they gave all Term 😊 especially, dealing with all the Covid interruptions … I think Everyone has earnt themselves a restful and safe holidays.
- Year 7s: The boys have done a great job dealing with living away from home for the first time, homesickness, getting used to new Routines in Boarding and the Day School, making friends, having the occasional squabbles, Academic adjustments, joining new sporting teams and generally being a 12 year old boy 😊. We have really appreciated getting to know all the Year 7s and helping them with their transition into Scotch and into Boarding. We have also appreciated the support and partnership from all the Parents and Guardians, thank you very much.
- Year 8s: The boys have really developed into fine young men this year. Individually, they are finding their directions with Academic, Sporting and Social pursuits and I have seen a real change in Confidence as they are starting to see the results of their hard work and good attitudes. Collectively, this was on display with all their efforts walking on the Bibbulmun Track under challenging circumstances. Their Resilience will also continue to grow being involved with these amazing opportunities and a huge thank you to all the Staff who guided our boys on the Bibby 😊
Farewell to Richard Foster
Is it just a coincidence, that Daniel Craig just made his last Bond film and Richard Foster has just left Boarding? I don’t think so …
Sadly, we say goodbye to a very professional, reliable and caring Boarding Staff member, who has served the Boarding House for more than 10 years, but luckily Richard is still at Scotch College as the Director of Co-curricular and one of my best mates for life. Richard, we as a Boarding Community sincerely Thank you for all you have done in Boarding and the care you have given so many boys over so many years, we are all going to miss you mate.

Finally, I hope everyone has a Safe and Restful break, enjoy and see you all next term 😊
Kind Regards
