GOAL: Community Education and Support
Scotch Oakburn College is committed to growing community support and engagement through information sharing on specific matter relevant to them, our students, and the greater community.

Opportunities are aligned to the College’s Mission, Vision and Values.
This program also encapsulates the Learning and Wellbeing Strands of SOC2035
Senior and Beyond is a free two-hour online session for parents and their teens entering Year 11 or 12 at Scotch Oakburn College. It is a workshop designed to help teens continue to develop essential life skills in Years 11 and 12 and help parents help their teens reach their full potential. It also includes tips to help ensure these years aren’t too tumultuous and that the whole family manages the transition of their teen becoming a young adult.
Topics include
- Getting on the right track with schoolwork
- The importance of balance
- Getting on together as children become adults
- Preparing for post-school years including setting up for the university/TAFE/ working years, particularly if teens will stay living at home.
