Scotch College

A great school where ‘knowing the boy’ is a priority and each student is respected and valued. Strong focus on pastoral care across all 3 sub schools- and the grounds and space for boys to play is incredible!

I am only new to the school with my son starting this year in year 7 but my experience so far has been fantastic. Having had older children at different schools I can say that Scotch College has made it such a seamless transition from primary to middle/high school. My experience has been that the school is very inclusive, helps the boys to integrate socially and places importance on education as well as sports and other interests the students may have. I guess the proof really is in the fact that my often silent 12 year old comes home daily chatting and recounting his daily activities (unheard of in the past!) I can highly recommend the College for anyone looking for engaged teachers and an embracing community.

Our four sons have had wonderful experiences at Scotch. They are very individual young men and each had different needs and interests. The school encouraged them to find their special niche and grow emotionally and academically. It challenged them and nurtured them into thoughtful and brave young men. We treasure the community that is Scotch which will be a wonderful legacy for the boys to carry with them as Old Collegians.

My experience with the College is that the teachers are committed to their student's wellbeing, education, social skills, independence and in general turning out some decent human beings with respect for others and the environment. No hesitation in recommending Scotch.

It provides opportunities regardless of intellect It encourages boys to “go for it” It’s a big school but there is always a teacher looking out for your boy. The teachers really put in and none more so than Brendan Zani and Gill Youngleson.They are exceptional. And Scotch does turn out boys keen to do their best.
