Scotch College

The oldest person I interviewed was 110.

And living in Melbourne, United Church minister, still giving sermons, conducting services, used to be the chaplain of Scotch College.

But I deliberately, because people think the only way you're going to get, not stay away from the cliff, is that you've got to have three degrees, be rich.

And it helps to be rich.

But I, I, I deliberately... 'Cause people think the only way you're gonna get, not stay away from the cliff, is that you've gotta have three degrees, um, be rich, and it, it helps to be rich.

But, you know...

That's not lining up very well there for you, Ryan, that half, that marathon at the 2024 Melbourne marathon.

Pretty sure he's coached by Jack Davies and he's a teacher at Scotch College in Melbourne.

All right, Scotch College.

Just hired a kid from Scotch College, was captain of the athletics up there.

Another one for Canberra, Crokes.

Another big athletic star coming into the city.

I was born in Melbourne, 47.

Went to school, Scotch College, Caulfield Grammar.

Scotch College was a very upper class boarding school, which I did not like.

Did you enjoy schooling?

No.

Ooh

... because at Scotch College in year nine, I was playing first 11.

First 11 in year nine?

And the big Duke, you were at Wesley from memory?

The family initially settled in Victoria.

Joe spent part of his childhood around Melbourne and attended school there, including Scotch College.

Later, the family moved to Sydney, living in Albion Street in Paddington.

So just think about that journey.

And so Moses was cons- conscripted into this, um, pastoral industry, taken south for several decades.

And while in Victoria, he had some education at a British school, possibly Scotch College, um-

Does Scotch College have any, any record?

They don't have any record of that, and I-

But you think it might have been the fact?

I think it's, it's likely that it was at a prominent Melbourne school, and Scotch College is the one that is mentioned in Alice's memoirs, and also in some other, this is important, in some other accounts of people who meet Moses when he's older.

Because when he wished to, Moses spoke the most perfect English.

Indeed, clipped drawing room accent if he wished.

Congratulations, too.

You've just won the Alco Cup at Scotch College.

So it just keeps coming, doesn't

it? Yeah.
