Scotch College

Farewell Angie Robertson

After leaving the position of Strings Coordinator at MLC, Angie Robertson, in 1988, was appointed Head of Strings in the Scotch College Music Department – a position she held until the end of Term One this year. Angie taught all string instruments to students from Prep to Year 12 throughout her 17 1/2 years at Scotch. Through enthusiasm in her teaching, thorough rehearsals and conducting of performances, Angie ensured that all string players were always able to give of their best. She took music ensembles to retirement hostels, nursing homes and kindergartens during her long association with the Scotch Social Services program.

An interest in astronomy saw Angie, with the assistance of her husband, Martin Randall, running the Scotch College Astronomy Club for ten years. In 1990 they took a Scotch outback trip to search for Australites. Extraordinarily talented string players, and those who reached standards well beyond their natural ability and own expectations, provided the highlights of Angie’s years at Scotch. She looks forward to completing home renovations and then moving to their ‘piece of paradise’ in the Strathbogie Ranges to breed Aberdeen Angus cattle, golden retrievers and chickens.
