Day and boarding life

Connecting boarders with our school

Our Middle School and Senior School boarding houses connect seamlessly with our sub-schools. Many of our current middle and senior teachers work across boarding, providing tutoring support and ensuring our boarding houses run smoothly.

As a school, we celebrate Boarders’ Week, which culminates in a Scotch favourite: Ag Day. Our regional boarders lead the show with a country cook-up and demonstrations and activities that showcase the regions. We hold an annual Boarding Photo Competition where our boarders, their families and boarding staff submit photos from across Western Australia and the globe. The winning entries are showcased throughout the school and on Scotch’s social media and demonstrate the incredible diversity of our boarding community.

We celebrate Chinese New Year where Scotch’s local Chinese families join boarders to make dumplings for dinner. It’s a great example of our home away from home culture and is a time to reflect on the distance that many boarding families travel for a Scotch education.
