I am delighted to share that Scotch Oakburn College has become the first Early Learning to Year 12 institution to be officially recognised with the Brand Tasmanian brand and featured on the Brand Tasmanian website.

With plans to celebrate our 140 years of service to the Launceston community next year, it is an appropriate time to highlight our pride in being Tasmanian and to celebrate the outstanding holistic educational opportunities we offer.

There is a strong sense of pride and identity that comes with this partnership. It deepens our connection to the local community and encourages our students and staff to actively support and engage with Tasmanian enterprises.

Brand Tasmanian’s mission is to inspire and encourage Tasmanians, and those who want to be Tasmanian, to quietly pursue the extraordinary. This partnership aligns perfectly with our values, as we strive to ‘create the future’ by providing an exceptional educational experience that reflects the unique qualities of Tasmania. This was further highlighted with Scotch Oakburn receiving a Best Co-curricular Excellence Award as part of the Australian Education Awards, recognising our link to the Tasmanian environment through Education Outdoors.

Looking ahead, this collaboration opens the door to pursue innovative joint ventures — from community events and workshops to product launches and creative projects. These initiatives not only strengthen our partnership but also provide enriching experiences that further elevate the College’s profile.

In essence, our partnership with Brand Tasmanian is a powerful example of how local connections can drive positive change. It is about working together, celebrating our shared values, and building a stronger future for our students, our College, and our community.
