The Auxiliary aims to support the Social Service activities of Scotch College students. Over 200 boys from the senior forms are involved in social service activities each year and they visit a variety of venues ranging from after-school care for children, to centres for disabled people, old peoples hospitals and pensioners homes. Some boys are also involved in running camps for disadvantaged children. The principle underlying these activities is one of community awareness and care for those in need.
Parents frequently comment about how much their sons have gained from their involvement.
The major task undertaken by the Committee each year is organising a roster of drivers, mainly parents, to ensure the swift arrival of boys at their social service venue after school. Although social service is undertaken by senior boys at Scotch College the parent committee welcomes parents from all year levels. The auxiliary conducts a cake stall on Family Day where parents can assist on the stall or donate a cake. Towards the end of the year, a chapel service for social service participants is held. Parents are invited to attend this event which celebrates the spirit of community of social service at Scotch College.
