Foundation History Book

Created in 1973, the Scotch College Foundation was the first of its kind for independent schools in Australia, one only has to look around the campus today to see the legacy of its work to date. From the recently demolished Physics and Chemistry building opened in 1976 to the Errington Retreat which will be opened in early 2024 for our boarding community, the impact of the generosity of our community is there for all tosee. Perhaps less identifiable, but no less important, is the Foundation’s sponsorship of much of the School’s scholarship program since 1973. Over 500 boys have attended Scotch through the philanthropic commitment of the Scotch Family.

This 300 page book, officially launched on Wednesday 29 November at a celebration at the School, paints a vivid picture of the Foundation and its first 50 year achievements. From biographies of the Foundation Presidents and Executive Directors, to interviews with generous donors and scholarship recipients, this visually spectacular account is a must read for all with a keen interest in Scotch.

Scotch College Foundation members will be provided with a complimentary copy, in recognition of their generosity.

Copies of the book are available for purchase from the Foundation Office for $50.00 (including GST). A $15 postage fee applies for delivery.
