Scotch College’s first principal exchange has been featured on Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise.
The story followed Scotch College Principal Tim Oughton to Scotland and Robert Gordon's College Principal Hugh Ouston to Adelaide as they spent three months managing the day-to-day operations of their adopted schools.
