Scarf YEAR OF THE

WHAT’S IN THE BOX MR B? Thirteen years ago, as Preps, the Class of 2022 gifted our Headmaster a hand-knit scarf under the infamous direction of Mrs Anne Copperwaite. This Semester saw history repeating itself, as these 13 Year Seniors teamed up with Mr Roberts’ Preps in the Junior School, in a top-secret knitting mission to revamp the scarf. Facilitated by Mr Roberts, Year 12 students made their way down to the Prep room to each knit a section of the scarf over many morning and lunch time sessions. When the scarf was finally ready, the 13 Year Seniors joined Mr Bassingthwaighte in the Boardroom for his surprise morning tea and presentation of the freshly hand knit scarf. In keeping with tradition, students took the opportunity to play the, 'What's in the Box?' guessing game with Mr B, one last time before they leave Somerset College. Our Headmaster was both surprised and touched to receive his new scarf! Thank you to Mr Roberts and Mrs Copperwaite for enabling this special collaboration. Luisa Navanteri Year 12 Co-ordinator
