For students to thrive they need to become expert learners. They need to acquire a body of knowledge, skills, attributes and values that enable them to adapt and contribute in an ever-changing environment.
The skills, or capabilities for learning, include the basics of literacy, numeracy and the use of information and communication technology. More than this, they also encompass broader social skills of communication, collaboration and ethical behaviour and the ability to perform in an intercultural environment.
Today, the College is excited to launch a seven-part video series that outlines how Scotch Oakburn […]
At this year’s SATIS Head of the River, the College was represented by 115 rowers from U13 through to Open. It was a wonderful weekend with every rowing to the best of their ability.

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the College once again has our own Chaplain as we welcome Grace Reynolds to the College.
In an extraordinary year that placed great demands on leaders, our Year 12 students have fulfilled their role of student leadership with great compassion, courage and integrity. Their willingness to think creatively to maintain a culture of inclusivity during trying times was outstanding. Throughout the year they bore the torch of school spirit, engaging across the full spectrum of College life, engaging in service and representing the College in the wider community, all of which epitomised the character of the cohort.
The Year Group have maintained a spirit of friendly rivalry in […]
Over the last four months the College has undertaken the recruitment process to appoint a Deputy Principal to replace Kate Croft, who leaves us after 23 years of dedicated service to the College. COVID slowed this process down as we had to wait for borders to open before we could meet our short-listed candidates in person and tour them around the College. In addition, due to the delay in the process, the Deputy Principal will not be able to commence at the College until the start of Term 2, next year.
