OSC

Founded in 1904, the Old Scotch Collegians (OSC) has over 16,500 members worldwide and is one of the largest of its kind in Australia.

With the vision of a community for life, our mission is: keeping Old Scotch Collegians connected and supporting the College as a united body through service, stewardship, and giving.

The Old Scotch Collegians Association contributes significantly to the life of the College:

• Maintaining social and sporting contact between ex-scholars.
• Providing resources, personal support, mentoring, and expertise to the College.
• Providing scholarships and bursaries to support student enrolments.
• Contributing to capital works and infrastructure of the school.

The Association is separately incorporated and elects a Committee to manage its affairs and liaise with the College. The Association also nominates two members to join the College Council.

The OSC is actively working to enhance the benefits and services for members, and the range and importance of these opportunities is growing annually. We invite you to stay connected with us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or through our Tartan Ties podcast.

From our Patron

It is a sincere privilege as the Headmaster of Scotch to hold the dual honour of being the Patron of the Old Scotch Collegians. It is so important in life to remember that we are but stewards of the organisations for which we work, and the organisations which we serve.

As the Patron of the OSC, my role is to ensure that we never lose sight of our heritage and find every opportunity to acknowledge and thank the men and women, who, through their passion and commitment, have made Scotch the world class college and community it is today.

When our boys graduate after Year 12, they join a community for life, the OSC. As our boys journey through their schooling years, we must ensure they have opportunities to reflect about our forefathers, acknowledge the contributions of the 16,500+ OSCs who have gone before them and appreciate that they have responsibility for ensuring that the OSC remains a strong, vibrant and integral part of the Scotch community both today and for many years to come.

Chapters

With Old Scotch Collegians residing in many cities and countries around the world, our efforts to keep Old Boys engaged with one another and the College extend far and wide. As an alumnus, your connection with the College continues beyond graduation and the College is keen to keep in contact with all past students.

Led by volunteers, OSC alumni chapters operate as organised groups based on a shared location, with the objective of keeping, and growing, the social and professional networks forged as a student of Scotch College.

We currently have eight active chapters around the world, and we encourage you to reach out to one of the below Chapter Leads should you wish to be involved.
