2025 APS Survivor Pastoral Care Survey
WARNING - THIS BLOG MAY BE VERY CONFRONTING FOR SURVIVORS, THEIR FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.
This is the third post as part of our Scotch 82 blog "Towards a Scotch 82 Survivor Comprehensive Pastoral Care Response".
This blog intends to be a deeper dive into the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) publicly available Survivor Pastoral Care plans and/or programs, in the lead up to our Suggested Scotch 82 Survivor Support Lunch/Brunch.

Our Survivor Pastoral Care Conversation Continues...
NB. The differing Associated Public School of Victoria's (APS) Survivor Pastoral Care plans and programs, that are publicly available, only appear in part, therefore this post is a non-exhaustive survey, or overview.
Thankyou for reading this third blog post, and being a part of the pastoral care conversation that's intended to be centred around our Scotch 82 Survivors and their Supporters wellbeing, as part of our combined efforts to reduce Scotch Family suicides to zero.
Culture change, and the safety of future students is a major concern for Survivors, therefore Child Safety, Wellbeing, and Safeguarding programs have also been referenced, with this in mind.
This survey is compiled from APS sources like:
- Agencies and Authorities Referenced by the APS
- APS Policies
- APS School magazines
- Dedicated APS alumni website pages
- Dedicated APS school website pages
- Dedicated APS Survivor website pages
- Newspaper articles

Intro to the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) Survivor Pastoral Care Survey...
The two major conversation discussion points being focused on by this blog post are - Safeguarding Children and Survivor Pastoral Care - which have been co-designed, keeping a whole of school family/community approach in mind.
Our Scotch 82 Social Media profiles contain posts about Survivor Pastoral Care, but these posts do not include all of the APS Pastoral Care plans/programs publicly accessible.
This blog post is not intended to be a survey of all the letters and messages by the Associated Public Schools of Victoria's School Councils, Principals, and Alumni Presidents, but some have been included for illustrative purposes.
Why A Two Major Conversation Discussion Point Focus?
Safeguarding Children website pages, like Scotch College's, can be found in varying forms for all of the 11 APS.
Survivor Pastoral Care website pages can be found for most of the 11 APS, and a deep dive into the contents of these pages may gives us an indication of the comprehensiveness of some of the past and present co-designed plans and programs that have been put place, some of which may be ongoing.
For Illustrative purposes only, this blog also contains a survey of the Agencies and Authorities that the APS families/communities have referenced, but it is not intended to be an exhaustive listing.
It's also hoped our year's Survivors, and/or Scotch Family Survivors, feel they have a choice to keep track of what direction this Pastoral Care conversation is taking, or could take, but without the associated trauma of being directly involved.
Please refer to the two previous blog posts Post Easter Breakfast Update - Phase A continues, and Scotch 82 Pastoral Care Plan for Survivors for an understanding of the conversation's progression to this point.
Will the Suggested Scotch 82 Survivor Support Lunch Go Ahead?
In the previous posts of this blog, it's been suggested a Scotch 82 Survivor Support Lunch/Brunch take place, following our Survivors and their Supporters having a chance to be introduced to our Scotch College Family Chaplains, Dave Assender and Doug Campbell.
Dave and Doug were great to talk to at the Scotch Family Breakfast, and are happy to meet with our Survivors and their Supporters, as is our OSCA Chaplain, Graham Bradbeer, as appropriate.
It's not the intention of this blog to make a recommendation as to whether or not the suggest Lunch/Brunch, a full year Event, or an online meeting with an outside Agency(s) representative, for example, goes ahead.
Blog Author's note:
Conversation Participants So Far
Scotch College Psychologist
Scotch College Psychologist, Nick Clark, has been nominated as the contact person, on the new March 2025 Scotch College website - Safeguarding our Community page - for those who wish to talk about past traumas and sexual abuse claims.
In Tom Batty's May 2015 letter to Old Scotch Collegians, following coverage in the media about past sexual abuse, Mrs Donna Del Porto was the Scotch Psychologist to have contact with.
Donna Del Porto has not been (directly) included in the conversation (at this stage), and her LinkedIn profile says Donna holds the position of Head of the Education Support Unit.
Scotch Family Chaplains
During our as time at Scotch, as Students, it was tradition to speak to the Chaplain, or a local church Minister, about pastoral care, with the School Counsellor joining the Pastoral Care team in 1981.
Today, our Scotch Family Chaplains continue play a significant role in the pastoral care of Students and Old Boys, as indicated on the new Scotch website include a page Academic & Pastoral Care. We can also note on this page that the Scotch Psychologist is now available to Old Boys, even though the current OSCA Wellbeing website page seems indicate otherwise:
'Please note: Nick Clark is the School Psychologist and provides psychological services to current students only. Nick is not available to Old Boys and their families.'
Scotch College Old Boys
Andrew Wilson has distributed, by email, a copy of Tom Batty's May 2025 letter and Jonathan Buckley's message to old boys (recreated below) that is referenced in the now 10 year ago article in The Age newspaper, with the heading Scotch College reveals five cases of abuse, calls for victims to come forward.

Scope...
If Survivors listening to Survivor is key to helping prevent suicides, then...
The APS Comprehensive Pastoral Care responses we've surveyed give our Scotch Family an indication of the scope of how Survivors can be involved in a co-design approach towards their care.
Having a Survivor focus provides our Scotch Family, and/or Scotch 82's, Comprehensive Survivor Pastoral Care response with relevance and context. Without our Survivors' learned experience guiding us, the scope of the response needed is challenging to fully identify, and the breadth of the response only partially quantifiable.
Scope of communication
Surveying the websites, as well as other forms of APS communication, shows that Social Media continues to be widely accepted, recommended, integrated, as well as interacted with, and this includes as a form of 'Pastoral Care'.Our Deep Dive of the APS Survivor communication shows easily assessible copies of letters from the School Councils and Principals have been made publicly available. Furthermore, letters are being shared by alumni to it's past students that relate to apologies, along with ongoing Survivor plans and programs to aid their personal recovery that includes the greater school family/community who have also been impacted significantly.
Similarly, our Scotch 82 "work in progress" Pastoral Care plan has three Suggested Phases (A, B, & C) that are being communicated to our Scotch Family Chaplains, Scotch Psychologist, Reunion Committee, and year group using Social Media posts. Our Scotch 82 "work in progress" plan is available for every Classmate, and wider member of our Scotch Family, to read and comment on.
Scope of professional Survivor Pastoral Care
The differing levels of publicly accessible APS Survivor Pastoral Care plans and programs means a general survey is possible, however, fortunately, it's clear enough that there is no one single approach that applies to all of the school families/communities, other than what is stipulated by joining the National Redress Scheme.
The trauma informed care accessible to Survivors and their Supporters, for example, as described by the National Redress Scheme recommended Support providers eg. the In Good Faith Foundation, or Knowmore, can also vary, but there appears to be no restrictions to how school families/communities involve their Chaplains and Counselling services in response to an individual's needs.
Independent Counselling services are provided to Survivors, their Families, Supporters, and the greater school family in some instances, but a general survey shows this is not necessarily the pastoral care response all of the APS.
Scope of Scotch 82's Survivor Social Media Comprehensive Pastoral Care Response
This Scotch 82 blog post, in essence, is a survey of the APS Survivor Pastoral Care responses, that can be compared and/or contrasted with the Scotch Family's initial response put in place 10 years ago, before the National Redress Scheme.
Many Scotch 82 lads were first introduced to the idea of Chaplaincy Pastoral Care when we were Students at Scotch. Not all of our Survivor Classmates may be familiar with more recent concepts of Chaplaincy Care that includes atheist and agnostic oriented Chaplaincy. Furthermore, Scotch has transitioned from a School Council lead by the (Evangelical) Presbyterian Church of Victoria (PCV), to one now partially lead by the PCV, with Christian values.
The National Redress Scheme Service providers take a more secular humanist approach to trauma informed care.
A whole of community approach to Survivor Pastoral Care could conceivably be an "Our Cardinal Thread" influenced initiative, following the Inaugural meeting of Scotch Family Representatives coming together to discuss 'Pastoral Care' ideas, plans, and programs, in September 2024.
Our Class of 82 Reunion Committee's encouragement of OSCA's Reunions & Events Committee to further represent the needs of Survivors, and other Classmate Support needs, between 10 year reunions, is a positive and proactive way for James Paterson, Mike Poynter, Rob Stock, and Ashley Murdoch to be involved in re-evaluating their Reunion Committee role and responsibilities.
Our Classmates and Reunion Committee were introduced to our OSCA Chaplain Graham Bradbeer's Pastoral Care at our 40 year reunion, held in the Cardinal Pavilion in August 2022, and Graham is very familiar with our Scotch 82 social media Friendship Care and Support initiatives, including attending our Scotch 82 Support Lunch/Brunches that allows for a free ranch of discussion topics to be raised.
Scope of our Scotch Family Chaplain's Survivor (Social Media) Comprehensive Pastoral Care Response
Our Scotch College Chaplains, and OSCA Chaplain, traditionally, for many years, have been involved in Scotch Family Pastoral Care in Great Scot, and our OSCA Chaplain is available to minister to our Scotch Family as a Church Pastor, on a regular basis, from Blackburn Presbyterian Church, using Social Media.
It's recommended that our Classmate Survivors and their Supporters talk directly to our Scotch College Chaplains, Dave Assender and Doug Campbell, as well as Graham Bradbeer about their individual and collective Scotch Family Survivor Pastoral Care training and experience.
As noted previously, Chaplaincy Care is not explicitly mentioned in the initial Scotch College and OSCA Survivor Pastoral Care response, but the School Psychologist and outside Agencies were, including the Blue Knot Foundation (previously Adult Victims of Child Sexual Abuse) that takes a trauma informed approach to Care.
Scope of our Scotch College Psychologist's Survivor (Social Media) Comprehensive Pastoral Care Response
As noted previously, the scope of Nick Clark's role as our Scotch Psychologist (pictured above, left), in the Pastoral Care of Old Boys in partnership with our Scotch Family Chaplains, is described on the new Scotch College's Academic and Pastoral Care website page. This Scotch College description of Nick's role is broader than what is described on OSCA's Wellbeing website page.
It's conceivable that Nick could help provide 'Pastoral Care' for Survivors using social media,
along with our Chaplains, in much the same as he did for the Young Old Boy's OSCA Wellbeing initiative Tips and Tactics for life beyond Scotch. Outside experts with specialist knowledge and experience, perhaps from the organizations or agencies highlighted in this blog, could get involved in a similar social media (YouTube, or OSCA Podcast) discussion.
Scotch College and OSCA have used their social media profiles for general and specific Pastoral Care of Students and Old Boys, and therefore the potential for breadth in Social Media Survivor Pastoral Care could be comprehensive in nature.
Conclusion...
This blog update has been posted approximately 3 months since the last blog update, as suggested in the first post of our "Towards a Scotch 82 Survivor (Social Media) Comprehensive Pastoral Care Response" blog, published as a part of our 2024 Scotch 82 Wrap, earlier in January this year.
A survey of the APS Survivor Pastoral Care responses has been made so that conversation participants can consider further discussion points, in the lead up to our suggested Scotch 82 Survivor Support Lunch/Brunch.
Some of the APS Survivor plans/programs are works in progress, as is our Scotch 82 "work in progress" Survivor Pastoral Care Plan.
Other APS plans/programs are well advanced, and comprehensive enough to include websites, plaques, monuments, and dedicated physical reflective spaces for Survivors to visit, and/or in addition to being able to call the School Chaplain, Psychologist, an Independent Counsellor, Facilitator, or Liaison person that can include the school's Principal.
The survey's deep dive into APS Safeguarding Children and Survivor Pastoral Care plans and programs allows for comparing and contrasting with our Scotch Family's Survivor Pastoral Care response put in place 10 years ago, that did not mention our Scotch Family Chaplains.
By providing ongoing APS Pastoral Care to Survivors, their Families, Friends, and wider School Families/Communities, the wider Australian societal goal of reducing Suicides to zero is being pursued, as Historical Sexual Abuse Survivors vulnerability to suicide is many times greater than other Australians.
The suggested Lunch/Brunch may or may not go ahead, as our conversation participants consider the scope and breadth of the Scotch Family Survivor Pastoral Care Response put in place (10 years ago) by past Principal Tom Batty, and OSCA's past President Jonathan Buckley.
APS School Councils are able to give Committees the task of helping to create a Historical Sexual Abuse Policy, that guides the work of the Principal and Counselling Services with their Survivor Pastoral Care responsibilities. All of the APS have joined The National Redress Scheme which has additional Survivor Support Services that are trauma informed.
If our Scotch Family Pastoral Care team, in our Scotch Family Chaplains and Psychologist, feel their involvement in the future planning of Survivor Pastoral Care is conducive to "Our Cardinal Thread" whole of community involvement, then they may play an additional role advocating on behalf of our Scotch Family/Scotch 82 Survivors.
Please let me pray:
"Heavenly Father,
Thankyou that you love us, hear our thoughts, prayers, and plans, and your word calls us to reason with you. Thankyou God that you understand this may be an extremely difficult undertaking for our Survivors, their Supporters, and our Scotch Family who seek to heal.
Father, thankyou that your ways are higher than our ways. You see all, know our defense mechanisms, and are with every one of our Scotch Family and Scotch 82 Survivors and their Supporters during their darkest hours, close as a friend or brother, by the power of your Holy Spirit, and with a comfort only your great saving and healing love for us provides.
Thankyou for our Scotch 82 Survivor Conversation participants, and please give us wisdom to continue to advocate on behalf of our Survivors, who have been retraumatized by making a claim, or simply getting back in contact with our Scotch Family, as communication directed specifically towards them encourages.
Thankyou God that healing is in your wings, and that recovery is possible. All the glory, honour, power, and praise belongs to you! Hallelujah!
In Jesus name, and for His sake, Amen!"
