Scotch College is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members to the School Council.
Richard Hume (’87) brings a background in project management in the building industry spanning 30 years. Richard is currently a Global Partner at Turner & Townsend, a multinational professional services company specialising in project management, program management, cost management and consultancy across the real-estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors. Prior to this, Richard co-owned Montlaur Project Services for 25 years, which was acquired by CBRE in 2019 and merged with Turner & Townsend in 2022. Richard has delivered in excess of 600,000sqm of projects across most sectors including commercial and education. Richard and Susie have two daughters and one son who finished Scotch in 2023.
Carolyn Ryan is a communications and public relations specialist, advising clients on media engagement, issues management and other reputation matters. Carolyn has previously worked as a corporate lawyer at a global law firm, as a journalist with The Age, The West Australian and The Telegraph (UK), and as a policy and strategic adviser with Jesuit Social Services. Carolyn is married with three children, including a son at Scotch and a past Scotch student.
As we welcome Carolyn and Richard, we would also like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our outgoing members, Alex Sloan and Michael Sim. Their dedication and service have been invaluable to the Council and the broader Scotch College community, and we look forward to recognising their incredible contributions in a future edition of Great Scot.
Together, with the new and continuing members of the Council, we look forward to an exciting chapter ahead for the school, with the launch of the new strategic vision early in 2025.
