Access to a world-class education
Families living regionally and remotely may not have access to a world-class education in their local community.
At Scotch, our boarders have daily access to high-quality tutoring options to assist them in their academic pursuits.
A choice of curriculum
Students at Scotch College have a variety of choice when it comes to their educational pathway. Our pathways include WACE, the International Baccalaureate or Vocational Education and Training programmes.
As a result, students have a greater range of career options to pursue once they have graduated from the College.
Sporting opportunities
Our boarding house opens onto arguably the best set of sporting fields in WA. Our students love sport and have access to the pool and gym facilities, whilst utilising our Playing Fields.
They can also join local clubs to play sport on weekends in addition to their involvement in the Public Schools Association sport.
Independence
Boarders quickly learn how to complete household chores themselves and grow into independent learners.
Our boarding students are responsible for managing their own money and belongings, helping them to mature earlier and become more resourceful.

Boarders often form very close friendships and connections with their boarding 'family'. They benefit from shared experiences that are gained whilst undertaking extracurricular offerings.
The connections made between boarders is never more apparent than during their graduating dinner when they share heartfelt stories about life in boarding.
