Behind the Vision

Within the John Cunningham Student Centre, positioned facing the College quadrangle, is the newly titled Old Boys' Union Tower, which extends internally from the second to fifth floors via a 47 step spiral staircase.

The 3 levelled sandstone staircase will hold a special significance with final year Scots boys, as it represents their final rite of passage at the College.

Used only by Year 12 Students, the Old Boys’ Union Tower provides an opportunity for students to connect with the rich history of the Union by engaging with stories of the past, homages to former Presidents’ and seeing the plaques of the generous Old Boys’ who contributed to this enduring structure, as the climb the 47 steps.

Upon completing their College journey and being farewell by the Principal in the Hyder Theatre on Level 2, Year 12 boys will ascend the tower, to be welcomed by the OBU President on Level 5 as new, lifelong members of the Old Boys’ Union.
