John Camens (’76) attended Scotch from 1967 to 1976 and along with his extended family, have had an enduring connection with the College since 1928. Having curated several photographic displays for the College, John felt there was an opportunity to share many more of the images contained within the archives with the wider community via this publication.

On behalf of everyone at Scotch College, we express our sincere gratitude to John for his work and dedication in bringing this project to fruition. This book will be a treasured keepsake for years to come, and we hope it brings as much joy to you as it did to those involved in its creation.
