WORKING WITH WILL

We shine a spotlight on Scots PGC boarder Will Bryant, who extols the school’s broad educational opportunities.

in a supportive environment that was reflective of their home and the country values they’ve grown up with. For Will, the College’s Tech Shed and agricultural offerings were the biggest drawcard. SCOTS PGC has a distinctive country feel and, to the Bryant family, it felt like home — because ‘home’ has an abundance of wide-open spaces.

The Bryant family intially researched five different schools when they were looking for a boarding school for their children. “I think it was definitely an advantage for SCOTS having the agricultural facilities there. When you drive into the place you can see sheep and cattle in the school’s paddock on the side of the road, so it immediately made the kids feel like they were at home. Obviously, coming from where we live, that was a pretty important thing,” says Bill.

Boarding keeps the Bryant kids busy with an abundance of activities and things to do. Weekends also provide opportunities to connect with the day-student community.

“A lot of my day-student friends live on farms, so I go and ride motorbikes and drive tractors and help their dads,” Will smiles. “I couldn’t see myself doing that at a city school.”

SCOTS PGC College is a co-educational day and boarding school with separate residential facilities for boys and girls. Will boards at the college with his younger sister, Phoebe. Matilda graduated in 2022 as the SCOTS PGC Girls’ Boarding Captain.
