Scotch College '06 The Last Stand

Ok, I know the topic sounds gay but Ben insisted it was cool. Well, Term4, the term of terms, the ending, the final hurdle, the last stretch......the end. As a Year 12 student you always thought that the last term would be the term where teachers just put so much pressure on you. You'll be locked up in your room, burning midnight oil but this is not the case as a Scotchie. The amount of events and parties and argh...it was just endless. Term 4 began with a kick to the chin - Methods and English trials on the first day back, can't they be even funnier with that? Just 3 weeks in to the term and that's it, school is over. All sorts of gathering, valedictory, parties were all organized to say our goodbyes. It started out with the school valedictory dinner then followed by the boarder's valedictory dinner, Year 12 boarder's dinner with our duty masters, presentation night and of course 20th October 2006 - our final assembly.

First off; our Year 12 Boarders Valedictory Dinner

Mr. Glover presenting gifts to the Year 12s which we have to pay for (wtf?)

The Year 12s table

Year 12 Presentation Night - The night where every year 12 is given a red Bible which is a traditional gift from the school and it is also one of the most boring-est presentation ever! It goes for 3 whole hours and we're not allowed to move from our seats at all. It was so boring that I could actually kill someone. Before the presentation night, Mr. Galbraith (Dean of Boarding) had dinner with us in the Cardinal Pavillion and of all nights Spotless had to serve us such 'edible' food - Butter Chicken with Rice. WOW.

The long wait for 'good' food
Presentation Night - 'Awesome'

Ah! Not to forget, our dinner with Mr. Glover in the Kooyong Tennis Club was g-g-great. Had oysters for appetizer and a medium done steak. Yummy. Lots of cam whoring from the Deano, Sanft, Conor and Bizzy. Took a tour around the club - Mr.G was kindda advertising the club to us and tried to persuade us to join it. Hah.

I look so stoned....

The size of the chicken was the size of the plate. Bizzy: 'this has to be a mutant'

Cam whores

The night was young and fun was just beginning. We all decided to head down to Bubbie's house to get smashed, sadly Bubbie wasn't able to join us and Manton pulled out from drinking. So it was the rest of the Year 12s Mormons that dranked. Pretty funny the stuffs we do when we're drunk. I vaguely remember lighting up Louis' hair with his lighter and he went crazy and almost killed me. Somehow or rather we found a shopping cart and we got Louis in it and slammed down to a light post. Dumbass.

Something interesting - Kwok shot gunning beers.

Asian blush, Kwok is not Asian

Dinners, dinners, dinners just keeps coming. Then there was the unofficial boarder-parent dinner in Melbourne Club which has to be one of the gay-est club ever. No mobile phones, must have clean shoes, ties being done up neatly and all those gay stuffs. The only thing good about this place was the free flowing alcohol which I did not use to my advantage. We were all required to give speeches about what we thought about Scotch boarding and I think everyone done well for their impromptu speech.

Free flowing alcohol = Louis = Screwed

The Asians (4 Malaysians + Korean) Hah

Fag Alert - Fong (Far Left)

Alcohol = Bad picture, gay people (Manton&Louis)

Highlight of Term 4 - Muck Up Week! Lets just say its a week where the Year 12s go crazy and do whatever they want to the juniors. Im proud to say that we're the craziest and most keen Year 12 group [ever] as we started mucking up a week earlier then expected. Started off by letting off fart bombs in the junior rooms, putting fish oil all over the carpet and cupping people with flour while they are sleeping. That night was a disaster, no one could sleep and the smell could make you puke on the instance. Other stuffs that we did can be seen in the photos below:

Year 11 mattress left on the roof

Took every single chair and dumped it into Steiger's room

All school shirts hanging on the Year 12s corridor

Bombing (water) Hackett

Tied up all the Year 11s, funny how they were screaming to get out

School shirts in the basketball court at 1am+

Every single mattress of the juniors dumped into the Year 11 block

And you'll never be able to experience this unless you're boarding! The final event was the final assembly (Torch Ceremony) and every Year 12 student was required to take the torch and across the stage and pass it on while songs such as Forty Years On, College Anthem, Boating Song and College Song was played. Every students yelled their hearts out and show their expression on how school is out - FOREVER.
