From the Headmaster

Dr Alec O'Connell | Headmaster

Scotch has been welcoming boarders for over a century. Since 1897, thousands of boys from Western Australia, interstate and overseas have joined our community and made a substantial impact on our great College.

We understand the richness of the communities that exist across Western Australia, interstate and overseas and, I promise you, what we offer at Scotch truly is a community for life.

As a school, we value what boarders bring to our community. They bring experiences and knowledge that introduce our day students to agricultural and regional life and diverse cultures. Our regional and remote boarders bring the resilience, grit and ingenuity that comes with living in smaller towns and communities where you rely heavily on yourself and those around you to face whatever challenges life might serve.

We know our boarding families are proud of where they’re from, be that Kununurra, Mingenew, Esperance, Macau or Tokyo, but also want their sons to have the very best opportunities that a Scotch education can offer. We understand the richness of the communities that exist across Western Australia, interstate and overseas and, I promise you, what we offer at Scotch truly is a community for life.

Your sons will leave here instilled with the values of respect, integrity and service and with the independence and passion to make their way in the world.

We encourage you to call or visit us in person to explore our great College for yourself.
