09 October 2020 Dear SCOTS PGC College Past Students, I trust this letter finds you and your family well. I am writing to remind our Past Student community of the approaching Annual General Meeting scheduled for Tuesday 10 November 2020. As the College has entered the second century of its life, the Past Student’s Association is looking for the next generation of office bearers and Directors to continue the work of this vital pillar that directly relates to the success of the College and our network of alumni. The current executive team has expressed their desire that this meeting will result in a boost of the PSA Executive by an additional 9 Directors. They are very hopeful that these new directors will have an array of skills and represent the broad cross section of ages that reflects the vast breadth of our current alumni. I would encourage every Past Student to consider how they might be able to assist their Association to enhance further the network, connections, and support of the school. A strong and evolving Past Student’s Association will benefit our whole community and continue to ensure the ongoing success of our great school. This year’s Annual General Meeting is scheduled for 5:30pm on Tuesday 10 November. This meeting will be held electronically via Microsoft Teams to allow the meeting to proceed without the need for social distancing and a COVID safe plan. I actively encourage you to register for this on-line meeting by contacting Mrs Carissa Miller, PA to the Principal, on 07 4666 9805 or [email protected]. Once again, the College looks forward to working with our Past Students Association and a return to a more normal program of events for 2021. Warm regards, Kyle Thompson PRINCIPAL Prep to Year 12 + Boarding Years 5 to 12 60 Oxenham Street Warwick Queensland 4370 p + 07 4666 9811 e + [email protected] Uniting Church in Australia Property Trust (Q).

Students to Chant and Cheer on the Worlds Best
STUDENTS TO CHANT AND CHEER ON THE WORLDS BEST The cheering and chanting will be lively when more than 700 Prep to Grade 12 students from across southern Queensland take part in TAFE Queensland’s Schools Program at the 2019 Adina Polocrosse World Cup. Warwick Polocrosse Club member and Wellcamp school teacher Jess Duncan is co-ordinating the program and is excited to have so many young people keen to be a part of the largest international sporting event ever held in rural Australia. “Polocrosse is one of only three Australian-made sports, and the Schools Program is a great way to introduce young people to the sport, while also educating them on an important part of the country’s sporting history,” Jess said. “The program runs on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 April, so the schools will be watching the first rounds of the World Cup games. Each school will be hosted by a personal guide who will explain the history, rules of the sport, and even some of the tips and tricks used by the players.” “Each school has adopted an international team to cheer for. The students will come armed with banners and are creating their own chants to really get into the spirit of the game.” “Assumption College is bringing the largest contingent of students, and its cheering will be led by students, Madeline Gleeson and Will Reardon, who are both junior members of the Warwick Club. They have also roped in Warwick Polocrosse Club social members and teachers, Mel Fraser and Anna Hardy, and well known Cunningham player and sportswoman Carlie Cooper,” she said.
