Bruce MacLeod stepped to the fore and after tuning his pipe he played Struan Robertson’s Salute . His presentation of the tune quite well done. Cabar Feidh Gu Brah a tune composed by Donald McLeod to mark the amalgamation of the Seaforths with the Camerons is a favourite of David Mariner and this performance by him was well delivered and received. After a “stretched” morning tea David again played some light music to settle his pipe and played a tune written by Donald McPhee and dedicated to P.M Richard Parkes ( Field Marshall Montgomery) naturally its titled Salute to P.M. Richard Parkes MBE. An interesting tune and enjoyable. The session was concluded with further discussion of “modern tunes” and their appeal to present players. Our Next meeting is set for SUNDAY 10th. SEPTEMBER so not to clash with “Fathers’ Day.

  • Peggy Mahy, Tranby College Principal Commencing January 2021
    22nd September 2020 An announcement from the College Board Chair Introducing Peggy Mahy – Tranby College Principal commencing January 2021 An experienced Principal, Peggy has most recently led The Scots School Albury, a co-educational, K-12, boarding school on the New South Wales and Victorian border. Like Tranby College, Scots is a Uniting Church in Australia school. Principal of The Scots School Albury for six and a half years, Peggy has recently concluded her role to allow her opportunity to support her daughter, who is completing Year 12 at Scots. Her husband, Andy, and their daughter Lucy, are looking forward to making the move to Perth to live, study and become part of our school community. While at The Scots School, Peggy led a significant transformation of the School’s educational offering, introducing a contemporary pedagogical model, with a focus on personalising learning and developing ‘world ready’ citizens. At the same time, she ensured that the School’s long history of achieving strong academic results continued, with enviable outcomes achieved for year groups, and individual students, who were mentored to achieve their potential. Additionally, Peggy oversaw the launch, implementation and successful establishment of the International Baccalaureate, the Primary Years Programme in the Junior School and the implementation of innovative STEAM learning in the Senior School. Some of the public accolades for her school leadership include The Scots School Albury being a finalist in multiple categories at the Australian Education awards, 2018, 2019 and 2020 for ‘Best Regional School’, and 2019 and 2020 for ‘Best Australian Boarding School’. Through her passion for the arts, community service, sport and education beyond the classroom, the co-curricular experience of Scots was uplifted with a highlight being The Scots School Albury School Pipe Band performing on the world stage at the Royal Military Tattoo in Edinburgh in 2017.
