  • Chairman Report 2018
    Chairman’s Report SCOBA Annual General Meeting June 2018 Welcome to the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Scots College Old Boys’ Association. I would like to start by acknowledging our Patrons: Headmaster Graeme Yule, and School Principals Christian Zachariassen, Matt Allen and Mike Hansen. I record our appreciation for the interest that Graeme and his team take in SCOBA and the wider Scots community. I thought I would start with a reminder about SCOBA and who it represents. The Association was started in 1921 by the first boys to graduate from Scots, and since that time more than 12,000 boys have passed through the school gates. SCOBA therefore has a large and growing constituency, which is about to become more diverse when the first female students begin graduating from 2021 (which happens to nicely coincide with the SCOBA Centenary). More on this later. Our members range from late teenagers, to our most senior member Ken Longmore who recently turned 100. Ken attended Scots in the 1930s and has had a remarkable life, as many of you may have read about in the recent Quad magazine. We celebrated Ken’s birthday out at Scots a few weeks ago, which included his opening of the Aitken Building portico refurbishment. The past year has seen successes by a number of our more recent Old Boys, and I wanted to mention a few today. Many of you remember Andrew Tang (2017) who attended our AGM last year in his final year at Scots. Last year, Andrew was awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Academic Excellence, recognising the top New Zealand student, and achieved scholarship (top 3%) in a record 12 subjects.
