Queen’s Birthday Honours

Congratulations to the following Old Scotch Collegians and Scotch Family members who received Queen’s Birthday honours in 2009. Queen’s Birthday awards are made to people who have served their profession, their community or their country with distinction – and without the thought that one day they might receive this kind of recognition for their efforts.

The Scotch Family is proud that these members of the school community have been recognised for their exemplary service.
