A Brief History
Mount Scopus
College began in 1949 at its first site in St.Kilda Road,
Melbourne, Victoria, with 153 students. In 1960 the school
moved to its current location in Burwood, Victoria.
It was established principally by Jews who had fled the
horrors of the Holocaust in Europe in World War II.
They saw the
need to teach all Jewish children their heritage, giving them
a strong Jewish identity along with a broad general education.
Ever since, Mount Scopus College (affectionately known as
'Scopus') has been renowned for its excellent Jewish and
secular education and its outstanding facilities.

Old Collegians News
The Old Collegians regular
newsletter, 'KaleidoScope' gets sent out every now and
again. If you live in Australia and do not receive a
copy, please email dstones@scopus.vic.edu.au to put yourself on the mailing
list. If you live overseas and have not been receiving it
regularly, do the same. It's good reading and keeps you
up to date. It is a concise overview of school
activities, and includes plenty of news about old
collegians.
If you are not already on
the school Old Collegians mailing list, drop them a line
at 245 Burwood Highway, Burwood, Victoria 3125.
Scopus Web Site
The school website is finally
up and running, after being non-existent for over 4 years.
Check it out at http://www.scopus.vic.edu.au
.
It
also has a new feature - an 'Old Collegians Alumni Directory'.
Take a look. It's great.
And, if they ever
get their act together (we've only been asking for 5 years),
they'll put a link to this site so that 1000's of other old
collegians can get information about all the reunions going
on!
