Founded in 1926 by Alex Jamieson, the Old Scotch Athletic Club has a rich history of nearly a century. It all began with an invitation in “The Herald” Newspaper, leading to a meeting at The Old Scotch Collegians’ Club. Over the years, our club has maintained strong ties to the school and the Hawthorn community.

While our origins were rooted in alumni participation, we’ve since welcomed a diverse membership, including women’s teams in Cross Country events and various Track and Field competitions. Our club has produced athletes who’ve competed at the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games.

Our mission is to support junior athletes through coaching and financial assistance, and we take pride in our inclusive and sociable atmosphere. We organise social functions throughout the year, fostering a close-knit community.

In essence, the Old Scotch Athletic Club aims to inspire achievement and elevate our athletes to national and international levels. Join us in this enduring journey where tradition meets excellence.
