The OSCA Young Old Boys (YOBs) comprises every Scotch Collegian who has graduated from school in the last 10 years. The YOBs community is designed to be a resource to assist Scotch graduates by personally connecting them with other Old Boys, as well as professionally through networking, mentoring and learning. The YOBs are led by a committee tasked with connecting and engaging its young alumni in order to drive personal and professional benefits beyond the Scotch Monash gates. The committee’s role is to facilitate these benefits which include events, social media engagement and community involvement.
Throughout the year the YOBs initiate coffee catchups at the various Melbourne Universities for Young Old Boys, which provides an opportunity to reconnect and bond with ex-class mates and fellow Old Scotch Collegians.

Join the YOBs Run Club. A casual run club for OSCA Young Old Boys keen to catch up, stay active and keep things social. Whether you’re training for a marathon or dusting off the runners, everyone’s welcome. This is about connection over competition. We’re here for a jog, a chat, and maybe a coffee after. All paces, all fitness levels. Join in, bring a mate, have a crack.
Each year, YOBs run Beyond the Gates sessions for the current Year 12 class. These sessions are designed to allow the current generation of Scotch boys to think about the ways they may better navigate their post-school pathways and decision making as a result of hearing and understanding the experiences and struggles of those that have gone before them. We hope that from listening to the stories of Young Old Boys who have transitioned ‘Beyond the Gates’, their lived experience can help current students more effectively manage and cope with the changes coming their way post-school. The initiative further provides those Young Old Boys the change to reconnect with their former school, aiding the transition for those who have come after them.
