Boarding

Scotch has approximately 160 boarders from Years 8 to 12. Many come from country areas of Western Australia, with some boarders from inter-state and overseas.

Boarding has been an integral part of Scotch College since the School first opened in 1897.

  • Available for Years 8 to 12

  • Stunning location overlooking the School's playing fields

  • Excellent student leadership programme

  • Unique structure and year group themes

Our boarding houses are far more than a place of residence; they represent a vibrant, close-knit community rich in traditions. Opportunities for pastoral care, individual attention and supervised study are greatly enhanced. Boys learn to:

  • exercise leadership

  • accept discipline

  • co-operate

  • make life-long friendships

The School encourages a comfortable atmosphere in which students and staff live and work together seven days a week in an extended family relationship. A Head of House and School tutors live on site to offer support and create a caring, family environment. Housemothers, who offer an important link between school and home, also provide emotional support.

Year 12 students have their own rooms, students in Years 10 to 11 share double rooms, and younger students are housed in dorm-style accommodation. All houses have recreation rooms, tutorial areas with computer and internet access, and overlook the magnificent school playing fields.
