SCOTCH ’ S PROGRAMS HAVE SHAPED GENERATIONS OF YOUNG MEN
Program , students learn the true meaning of empathy and altruism . Whether volunteering at organisations that work to address food insecurity or conservation issues , participating in outreach programs with local schools or homelessness networks , or by organising performances for residents in aged-care facilities , our boys have the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the lives of others .
These experiences go beyond mere acts of charity ; they instil in our students a deep sense of social responsibility and civic engagement . By actively engaging with diverse communities and addressing pressing societal issues , boys develop a nuanced understanding of the world around them . They learn to challenge injustice , promote equality , and advocate for positive change , embodying the ideals of truth and justice in their actions .
By fostering self-awareness and emotional intelligence , our Co-Curricular Program empowers Scotch students to navigate life ' s challenges with resilience and grace . They learn to embrace failure as an opportunity for growth , cultivate empathy and compassion in their relationships , and lead with integrity and humility . The school ’ s Co-Curricular Program not only equips students with the skills and knowledge needed for success , it also nurtures the inner virtues that define their character .
Scotch ’ s past , present and future Co-Curricular Programs serve as pillars of strength , shaping generations of young men who embody the ideals of beauty , goodness and truth . Through these programs , students are empowered to explore the world with curiosity and compassion , advocate for positive change , and cultivate the inner virtues that define their character .
I know that Old Boys ’ experiences during their school days allowed them the opportunity to uphold and advance these timeless virtues , ensuring that the legacy of our school endures for generations to come .
