Forming men of good character
Within our Strategic Plan , each aspiration will be realised through a series of projects , keeping us accountable to our goals and ensuring each goal is planned , measured and achieved . While there are many projects currently underway and to be undertaken in the future , below we have outlined some of the most impactful outcomes being delivered in the coming years .
Introduce a transformational Character Education Program
In pursuing character we intentionally prioritise who our boys are over what they do . As such , in the coming years we will create and embed a purposeful program designed to foster the core qualities of character such as empathy , humility and integrity within our boys .
Importantly , our focus on character formation will underpin everything we do . Whether in the classroom , on the sporting field or participating in an outdoor adventure , our boys will be challenged to understand the importance of good character in all aspects of their lives .
Establish a sequential Outdoor Education Program from Prep to Year 11
Outdoor education is already an essential and unique part of Scotch ’ s approach to holistic development . We believe that by taking learning outside of the classroom and into the natural world , where technology and the ‘ noise ’ of daily life is removed , boys find the space to reflect and engage more deeply . Our Outdoor Education Program provides our boys with the opportunity to engage with nature , learn about the environment and foster good mental health .
Scotch will build on its Outdoor Education Program , developing camps and activities that progressively support skill development and character formation . The Program will be aligned to the needs of boys at each year level , guiding them through important times of transition in a meaningful , practical and enriching way .
