Enlightening boys to shape a better future
Prospectus
Educating boys to become good men, ready for a purposeful and fulfilling life of contribution
Welcome to Scotch College
Forming good men has been our passion and purpose for over 170 years. As an independent school for boys, we know that good men matter, and that the world needs more good men.
In joining Scotch, each boy becomes part of an inspiring story of service, contribution and scholarship. Indeed, Scotch boys become members of the Scotch College community from their first day of school and for the rest of their lives.
Grounded in our Christian heritage, we believe each boy is created uniquely for a purpose. Importantly, this belief shapes each boy’s learning journey, where the breadth of learning experiences and depth of care ensure each boy is known and forms a deep sense of belonging.
Whether in fencing or football, chemistry or cadets, Scotch offers endless opportunities for our boys to flourish. We’re proud of how our boys find their passions and forge their own paths, from joining orchestras or playing in the Pipes and Drums, to touring with the cricket team or even visiting NASA. Each boy is encouraged to aim high in every endeavour while keeping his feet firmly on the ground.
Having completed the move to our current site in 1926, we are blessed to learn and teach on 27 pristine hectares. Our P-12 campus in Hawthorn sits directly on the winding Yarra River, where every day our rowers build the strengths and habits that will serve them well for life.
Similarly, our outdoor education properties in Cowes, Healesville and soon Mallacoota, provide rich experiences for our boys to build lifelong friendships and skills. Surrounded by spectacular bush and ocean settings, these places educate the heart as much as the mind and are critically important, essential learning experiences within a Scotch education. They provide times of great growth and challenge.
Guided by the principles of the Scottish Enlightenment, Scotch is a place where personal responsibility and a service mindset are cultivated. We are committed to forming enlightened, good men who will progress society and make our world a better place.
Dr Scott Marsh Principal
Our values
Forming men of good character through a holistic, values-based education.
Our values provide a guiding light for every member of the Scotch Family. These values aim to foster character traits and behaviours in our boys that will help them develop into men who go on to lead lives of integrity, purpose and contribution.
Respect
We believe in the inherent value and dignity of every person. We encourage each boy to listen to, understand and appreciate the needs and views of others and to forge lasting relationships regardless of religious, cultural, and social background.
Responsibility
We believe that every person is responsible for their life, actions and decisions. We encourage each boy to make the most of every opportunity and to use his gifts and talents in the service of others.
Reverence
We believe we are part of something bigger than ourselves. We encourage each boy, through our Christian traditions and the example of those who have gone before us, to embrace a spirit of reverence that awakens awe and wonder.
A legacy of improving society through education
Scotch College was founded in 1851 by Scottish Reverend James Forbes, the first Presbyterian minister in Victoria. The vision and values of Scotch College today reflect the enduring legacy of its founder, who believed that education “must be regarded as the great remedy for the ills of the body politic, the basis on which must be mainly rested all hopes of its amelioration, and of its future generations being better than the present.”
As the concept of using education as a means to improve society was formed, people saw that by understanding the world better, they could improve it.
During this period, many philosophers and scientists started to write about how education could shape better citizens. It helped society to see education as a way to promote equality and social justice; to give everyone a chance to learn, no matter their background.
Since its establishment in 1851, the Scotch College education model has grown from these principles. Today, more than ever, they remain at its core. Within the nurturing embrace of the wider Scotch Family, our boys are encouraged to think critically, act with integrity, be curious about the world and live a life of purposeful contribution.
“ School is ... a most important engine, not only for the imparting of knowledge, not only for the propagation of intellectual light, but for the formation of character, the inculcation of principles, the regulation of habits.”
Reverend James Forbes Founder of Scotch College
Nurturing the whole boy
Our comprehensive Pastoral Care Program is designed to support, nurture and challenge each boy as he journeys through the school.
At Scotch, we challenge our students to discover their true potential, guided by dedicated staff, their peers and the wider Scotch Family. Scotch educates boys to take an outward-facing perspective to life, helping them find purpose and resilience. Boys are immersed in a range of activities and educational programs to foster grounded confidence and personal development. Specific, targeted academic support is provided by qualified Educational Support staff. The school Chaplains and Psychologists play a key role in boys’ welfare. They are available for guidance and support throughout each boy’s school years and beyond.
Junior School
Prep to Year 6
As boys begin their Scotch journey in the Junior School, emphasis is placed on providing a warm and caring environment in which they can develop self-esteem, motivation, a sense of personal responsibility and social skills.
Class teachers are responsible for the overall development and happiness of the boys. They take time to understand each student and his interests, creating the foundation of trust and mutual respect that supports growth and exploration. Christian Education, chapel services and support from our Chaplains help boys develop strong values. Additional care is provided through the House system, through cross-age tutoring activities and the Pastoral Care Coordinator.
Senior School
Years 7 to 12
In Years 7 and 8, a team of teachers supports each boy’s learning and the delivery of the core curriculum. Each boy’s progress is monitored closely, ensuring the appropriate level of support and self-responsibility as he begins to experience the breadth of activities in the Senior School.
Boys belong to one form room throughout Years 7 and 8, led by one Form Teacher for the two-year period. Form Teachers guide the boys’ social and academic pathways throughout these years, allowing an important partnership to develop between the teacher, student and his parents.
A Transition Coordinator also oversees the boys as they move from the Junior School to the Senior School or from other schools to Scotch.
In Years 9 to 12, boys are allocated to one of twelve Day Houses. The House System helps them build lasting friendships, and offers opportunities to explore new passions through the Inter-House competition that includes sport, debating, and singing. Each has its own Head of House and a tutor for each year level, both of whom maintain close communication with parents.
The Senior School Pastoral Care Program helps boys build specific skills to thrive in their future endeavours and relationships. This includes our Respectful Relationships day with a nearby independent girls’ school, programs on consent, cyber safety, drug and alcohol awareness, workshops with the Resilience Project, Elephant Ed and other programs that nurture each student’s resilience toolbox.
Boys develop their leadership skills throughout their schooling, culminating in opportunities to take on the role of Peer Support Leader in Year 10, and Prefect in Year 12. Scotch College has a unique School Captain role, whereby the incumbent returns for an additional year at Scotch following his graduation. This is a key leadership role which sees boys take charge of initiatives both within the school, and its wider community.
Peer support programs and co-curricular activities encourage cross-age mentoring. The school’s Chaplains and Centre for Learning staff play key roles in student welfare. Students also engage with Old Boys through our Mentorship Program, providing them with inspiring role models and invaluable career guidance.
In pursuit of truth and wonder
At Scotch College, we are dedicated to nurturing enlightened learners of good character. We seek to shape men who are prepared for lives of purpose, innovation and ethical leadership. The boys are at the centre of all we do. We strive for all our boys to become good men who appreciate beauty, pursue goodness, and discern truth. These timeless ideals are rooted in our Scottish Enlightenment heritage, and are symbolised by our school colours of cardinal red, gold and blue. Combined, they build a bridge between past wisdom and future potential, connecting boys to a fulfilling life after school.
Our curriculum and teaching
Recognising that learning thrives in the complex interplay of people, place and pedagogies, we embrace a holistic, relational approach to education.
The Scotch Family and its broader community surrounds boys with positive role models and fosters a culture in which each student’s unique personality and personal agency are recognised. Boys are treated as active and valued contributors to their own learning. This rich environment encourages inquiry and critical thinking through open dialogue and respectful debate.
Our research-informed pedagogies engage and expand young minds, balancing theoretical understanding with practical application to real-world contexts. Learning experiences are intentionally designed to evoke wonder and reverence for the world around us, to inspire an appreciation of the beauty of learning, and to instil a respect for truth and the inherent dignity of each individual.
Our broad and varied curriculum encompasses the development of knowledge and skills and the formation of character, supporting boys to thoughtfully engage with diverse perspectives, develop informed world views and a sense of responsibility and purpose.
Junior School
The Junior School offers a broad curriculum and co-curriculum, designed to provide all boys the opportunity to develop a love of learning, and find their purpose and passion in these crucial foundational years.
The curriculum is organised around a commitment to rigorous learning, building a strong foundation in fundamental literacy and numeracy skills. With these secure foundations, boys are best prepared for all subsequent learning and are able to access the range of learning opportunities available through the Humanities, Music and the Arts, Sports and Physical Education, LOTE, Science and Technologies.
Our holistic approach to learning means boys’ individual needs are met with appropriate opportunities for challenge, in a safe and supportive environment that encourages exploration.
We help students understand that learning can and should be challenging at times – and that overcoming these challenges fosters academic resilience and a sense of self efficacy. Our teachers embed a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging our boys to always aim high, whilst also understanding that at times we may fall short of our aspirations which is part of the learning process.
Senior School
Conversation and collaboration are catalysts for learning throughout the Senior School, allowing boys to steer their own learning and develop their sense of responsibility.
Peers and teachers provide positive challenges academically and personally, teaching students to value diversity of thought.
The Teaching Program
Our teaching staff are highly qualified specialists. Many are at the forefront of curriculum development and teaching innovation in Victoria, Australia and abroad. The curriculum is designed to identify students’ areas of interest and strength, remaining broad and comprehensive until the middle years when an elective program is introduced.
In Years 7 and 8, boys undertake core subjects in a team teaching structure that provides exposure to diverse intellectual disciplines and offers opportunities for boys to identify and develop their areas of interest and strength. Languages are core subjects, with students in Year 7 studying two languages, selecting from Chinese, French, German and Italian. In Year 8, most students continue on with their selected languages, although they may alternatively choose to study one language and add an additional History and Geography elective.
In Years 9 and 10, boys broaden their horizons through elective subject choices, including visual, dramatic and creative arts, and languages. They access state-of-the-art facilities for Science, Design and Technology, Drama, and Music, as well as classrooms and other specialist facilities that are equipped with ICT and audiovisual resources to support individualised learning in a connected world.
In Years 11 and 12, boys work in specialist areas within the VCE curriculum. In these years, our academic emphasis shifts towards high-level problem solving skills and external examinations.
Academic support and extension
To assist boys in their personal and academic development, highly-qualified specialists provide academic support, extension opportunities, individual planning, guidance and counselling.
The school’s Centre for Learning is a resource for all students, and houses a range of teaching and learning facilities, including classrooms, quiet reading areas, places for group work and discussion, and a contemporary library service. The centre is open before, during and after school, where boys can access academic support staff, library staff and the Extension Studies Coordinator. Boys may come to the Centre for Learning any day of the week to receive additional support with their learning.
The Extension Studies Coordinator organises numerous extension opportunities for boys, including Chess, Philosophy, Debating, Informatics, student constitutional conventions, university workshops, writing programs, and Global Citizenship initiatives.
Students also participate in the Olympiad programs in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Informatics, and Computational Linguistics, and regularly gain selection to represent Australia overseas.
A home at the heart of Scotch
On ‘the Hill’ overlooking Scotch, a community of boys from rural Victoria, New South Wales, and the world over have the remarkable opportunity to call these grounds home.
Growing and learning from the best backyard in Melbourne, this community is where lifelong connections are formed, and each boy is supported, nurtured and challenged to become his best self.
This is boarding at Scotch.
Affectionately known as ‘the Hill’, our boarding precinct lies at the heart of Scotch and offers boys from around Australia and abroad an exceptional boarding experience.
Support to excel
Boarding at Scotch provides boys with an education of the highest standard in combination with accommodation in a caring, well-equipped environment. No matter which part of the world a boy is from, the boarding lifestyle will provide him with an integrated, comprehensive and character-focused education.
Homework is supervised on weekday evening ‘prep’ sessions by the Head of House or one of their assistants, providing a structured approach that ensures all students perform to the best of their abilities. English and Mathematics tutors visit the boarders each week during prep time and are available to any boy requiring additional help.
Facilities and accommodation
Three separate boarding houses – School House, McMeckan House and Arthur Robinson House – are set around a broad drive, surrounded by trees and beautiful, well-manicured gardens. A parent retreat and community centre are located at the heart of the boarding precinct, allowing parents, families and boys to rest and connect in a relaxed setting.
Boarders have full access to the school’s exceptional facilities, including tennis courts, swimming and diving pools, squash courts, a gymnasium, and over 27 hectares of outdoor space.
“If I was not at Scotch, I feel that my path in life would be considerably different… I don’t think I would know myself as well as I do now. I have become more independent than I otherwise would and have lifelong friends that you don’t get at just any other school.”
– Harry, Boarder
Contemporary accommodation is structured to support students as they progress, with younger boarders in small dormitory groups and Year 12 students enjoying private rooms. Study spaces are tailored to each stage, with dedicated prep rooms for younger years and personal study areas for senior students.
Each of the houses have their own recreation rooms, providing comfortable areas for conversation, listening to music or reading. Boarders love to gather around the table tennis and billiards tables, and gaming consoles for a dose of friendly competition.
A kitchenette is also available for preparing beverages and light snacks.
Healthy eating
The boys from all three houses come together for all meals, which are served in a communal dining hall adjacent to the living accommodation. The food is of high standard and is prepared in a modern kitchen, staffed by professional chefs and their assistants.
Every endeavour is made to ensure that each boy receives a balanced diet, and there is always more than enough to fuel healthy appetites. Consultation with a dietitian takes place regularly, and a ‘food committee’
comprising senior boys across the three houses meets with the Head Chef fortnightly to ensure the food served aligns with student needs. Boarders with special food requirements are catered for within limits and all meals are supervised by staff.
Medical care
The College doctor holds clinics one lunchtime each week. The doctor is also available on request and, together with other consultants used by the College, provides a full range of medical services to ensure students’ health. A resident nurse lives on site, providing care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Social connection
Growing and learning within the best backyard in Melbourne, boys form lifelong connections as part of a community where they are supported, nurtured and challenged to become the best men they can be.
Respectful relationships with women are also an important part of preparing boys to become good friends, partners, fathers and colleagues. To foster these relationships, activities are often conducted with neighbouring independent girls’ and co-educational schools, such as social dances and workshops.
Weekend activities
Scotch College is located only a short train or tram ride from the centre of Melbourne, one of Australia’s largest cities and a centre of rich cultural life. Groups frequently go to sporting events, theatre, art galleries, special exhibitions and the cinema, often at a discounted cost. Boys may obtain city leave on weekends for these activities, with supervision from staff.
A range of trips and adventures are often organised for weekends as well, including snow sports, fishing, paintball, shopping trips and many more.
Endless opportunities
Scotch offers an expansive elective and co-curricular program, allowing boys to develop their determination, self-worth and curiosity through artistic endeavour, physical activity, and exploring the natural world.
Music
Our world-class Music Academy gives boys the chance to explore their creative passions, artistic development, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity. Whether they enrol in individual or group lessons, or join one of our 50 different ensembles, students hone their musical and public performance skills, and gain a sense of community and connection.
In the Junior School, the developmental class program teaches literacy, aural and performance skills. As students move into the Senior School, they enjoy an almost unlimited range of opportunities for musical expression, whether they want to start learning an instrument, or extend their musical education by joining one of our many ensembles, orchestras, bands and choirs.
Facility highlights include
Specialist staff of more than 70 music educators
A wide range of instruments for student hire
Two computer-equipped music teaching classrooms
A 500-seat performance auditorium
More than 30 pianos in the Music School and a pipe organ in the Memorial Hall
Visual Art
Art cultivates creative expression, innovative thinking, problem solving, personal development and insight. It challenges each boy to share his experience of the world, and respond to new perspectives with a learning mindset. Scotch’s Art curriculum combines contemporary techniques, including computer art and animation, graphic design and digital photography, with traditional elements, including painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.
In the school’s four specialist creative art studios, students develop ideas and refine their skills. They are encouraged to respond to art in their historic and cultural contexts, exploring works and artistic movements from across the world. Our artist-inresidence program empowers boys to share their perspectives with peers and guest artists, and student artworks are regularly displayed publicly.
Facility highlights include
Four specialist studios and teachers who are practising artists
Traditional art facilities including printing presses for relief and silk screen printing, ceramics area with kilns, quality paint, and easels
Cutting edge tools, such as laser-cutters, 3D printers, large format printing and AI technology
Drama
Drama education is about self-realisation through active participation. It frees the creative spirit, teaches mastery of self control and confidence of expression, while nurturing the individual’s unique expressive skills. Boys explore a range of theatre styles, forms, conventions and practices that come from a varied and rich heritage, learning about the contexts and world views that shaped each work.
In the Junior School, all boys participate in regular drama sessions, including movement, improvisation, mime and speech. A range of skill-based workshops builds teamwork, reflection and self-discipline.
In the Senior School, all students study Art and Drama until the end of Year 8, after which elective subjects can be studied through to Year 12. They are encouraged to participate in co-curricular drama productions, working with their peers as actors, producers, technicians and backstage crew members.
Each year, the school stages a variety of Junior and Senior School productions both independently as well as in collaboration with girls from neighbouring schools.
Facility highlights include
Six educators and two technical assistants
A 430-seat state-of-the-art theatre auditorium
Dedicated studio theatre and rehearsal spaces
Sport
We believe sport and physical activity is for everyone, and helps boys build resilience, collaboration and problemsolving skills as part of team or individual sports. Our dynamic and diverse Sports program offers 11 winter sports and 17 summer sports, as well as athletics, water polo and activities during the spring season. All students are required to participate in APS Sports in the summer, winter and spring seasons.
In the Junior School, boys have many opportunities to become involved in sporting activities and events, House activities and an interschool sporting program. In Years 5 and 6, all students participate in weekly interschool sporting competitions, choosing from a variety of sports each school term. In the Senior School, boys participate in the interschool sporting activities organised by the Associated Public Schools of Victoria.
Facility highlights include
World-class high performance gymnasium, indoor pools and multiple sport courts
12 tennis courts and seven ovals for cricket, football, hockey, rugby and soccer
World-class, fully equipped rowing facilities and boats
Seasonal rotation of sports including badminton, cricket, diving, golf, orienteering, rowing, sailing, tennis, football, gymnastics, hockey, snowsports, soccer, cycling, cross-country and more
Outdoor education
From the beautiful outdoor environment of the main Scotch College campus on the banks of the Yarra River, and extending to our campuses in Healesville, Cowes and Fairhaven, outdoor education is central to each boy’s personal development. Our structured and meaningful flagship Outdoor Education Program cultivates boys’ understanding of teamwork, personal health and wellbeing, and the environment. Immersed in nature with their peers, students form lifelong connections and grow in character, learning their responsibility to the world around them through examining human impact on the environment.
Fairhaven
In 2023, Scotch College announced the purchase of Fairhaven, a 175-acre property near the picturesque coastal town of Mallacoota. Nestled on the border of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and with direct water access, Fairhaven will redefine outdoor education at Scotch and offer an unrivalled experience for students.
The property is set to become the epicentre of Scotch College’s Outdoor Education Program, offering an immersive and transformational experience for Year 9 boys. While the project is in its early stages, our new facilities on the property will complement the natural surroundings and are hoped to become an integral part of the Mallacoota community.
“ The purchase of Fairhaven represents our desire to focus further on forming the character of our boys. At Fairhaven, boys will be challenged in the great outdoors, they will learn about farming and land management, conservation and sustainability, bushcraft, and a host of other new skills.
Most importantly, they will be inspired to think about life, the type of man they wish to become, and how they might best utilise their many talents and gifts to serve others.”
Dr Scott Marsh, Principal
Service and community connection
As boys progress through the school, Scotch offers a range of age-appropriate service activities. In the Junior School, boys participate in regular fundraising initiatives within the curriculum, often requiring them to come up with fundraising ideas or undertake acts of service to raise money for charities that support children experiencing hardship. For example, students run a ‘Coats for Kids’ charity drive to collect warm coats for families in need.
In the Senior School, participation in the after-school Wednesday Service Activity Program is mandatory for boys in Years 9 to 11. From 2027, this program will become part of the Wednesday afternoon curriculum and will be mandatory for all Years 7 to 11 boys.
In Year 11, boys participate in immersion programs with community organisations in the areas of children and family support, community service, conservation, EmpowerEd, environmental action, food support, and music. Scotch has established relationships with many organisations and charities, offering boys the chance to contribute to the causes they care most about.
Trips, tours and exchanges
At Scotch College, we strive to offer boys the chance to apply their learning in real-world environments, exploring their academic and personal skills in new contexts.
Travelling intrastate, nationally and internationally, boys see that education is a universal process that occurs in a myriad of ways. Exposed to new environments, people and experiences, they further develop their independence, collaborative abilities, compassion and understanding.
Our extensive list of educational travel opportunities includes: athletic development programs on the Gold Coast, cricket tours through England, golfing heritage tours around Scotland, mathematics olympiads in Europe, art and culture tours to New York, space programs at NASA, and more.
The Scotch Family
Scotch College boys become members of the Scotch Family from their first day of school and for the rest of their lives. This family not only welcomes them into a global network of peers, mentors, champions and supporters, but also makes them a part of the collective impact of the school that is over 170 years strong.
The Scotch Family represents a legacy of contribution that lights the way for each new generation of boys.
Old Scotch Collegians’ Association (OSCA)
Scotch College is home to one of the largest, and most active, alumni associations in Australia, keeping our students connected to the Scotch Family long after they leave school.
Established in 1913, the Old Scotch Collegians’ Association (OSCA) seeks to provide the best alumni experience in the world, focusing on delivering three key priorities:
Engaging ways for Old Boys to connect
Compelling reasons for Old Boys to connect
Rewarding opportunities to make the world a better place
OSCA maintains and builds ongoing, meaningful relationships between Scotch students, past and present. From 40+ annual events, including our renowned Annual Dinner, to the 27 Old Scotch clubs and societies affiliated with OSCA, the Old Boys have a myriad of ways to continue the interests and friendships formed at the school, and stay engaged with the wider Scotch Family.
This begins in Year 11 with the Mentorship Program, which sees current students connect with inspirational Old Boys to help guide them through the challenges and opportunities of their school career.
After graduation, alumni are welcomed into the Young Old Boys Program, created specifically to support new alumni as they begin their life after school. It provides them with advice, mentoring and mateship from their OSCA peers. Old Boys of every age also benefit from OSCA Thrive, our mental health and wellbeing program.
Scotch Parents’ Association
Parents and guardians are an integral part of the Scotch Family. There are many ways for parents and guardians to be involved in everyday life at the College, including the Scotch Parents’ Association (SPA).

We seek to shape men who are prepared for lives of service, innovation and ethical leadership. Together with our community, we shape generous, impactful lifelong learners.
Above all, we value and nurture a service mindset, where education helps us improve ourselves, serve each other and progress society. Together with our community, we shape generous, impactful, life-long learners, sending them out into the world to help make it better every day.
