A conversation with the Head of College Mr John Weeks
Next Week We are delighted to welcome back all day and boarding students from Monday, 25 October. As previously advised, this return is in line with Level 3 Plus health advice, which relates to regional schools returning from lockdown rules. While we welcome all students back, there are significant restrictions still in place impacting the kinds of things schools can do and who can visit the campuses.
Please read through these restrictions so that we can keep everyone as healthy and safe as possible. https://education.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/advice-forfamilies/level-3-plus-schools Be assured that the College has been preparing for the return to face-to-face operations and is fully compliant with all the advice and directives of the Public Health Orders issued by NSW Health. So … Welcome Back!! Next Year Over the past 18 months, the College Council, Senior Management team and teaching staff have been monitoring and evaluating the best structures for the future operations of the College. We have
Campus East (Scots) Senior School, Boarding (Years 9-12) 4173 O’Connell Road BATHURST NSW 2795
Campus West (Saints) Preparatory School, Junior School (Years K–4), Middle School, Boarding (Years 5-8) 70 Eglinton Road BATHURST NSW 2795
been reviewing all aspects focusing on the academic, pastoral and overall developmental needs of all our children. Also influencing our thoughts has been the fantastic growth in College enrolments due to its immediate success. Currently, our Preparatory School is full at 100 students for 2022 and we will expand this in the next year. Boarding enrolments have maxed out and the Boarding School is full from 2022, additional K-6 classes have been added for 2022 and enrolment numbers for each year group, 7-12 are almost 100 per age group. With population growth in Bathurst and the region predicted to continue, the College Council has carefully reviewed the future structures of the College across our two magnificent campuses. The College is in a unique position to expand and add significant educational options for its students. We have already made many improvements with the establishment of the STEM Centre, The Preparatory School for 4-year-old children, the refurbishment of Ives Senior girls boarding, the establishment of the Agricultural Research Centre and the expansion of the Equestrian Centre.
