Scots All Saints' College

[EduCativ]

Scots All Saints College offers education in a caring, Christian environment. A commitment to assisting the spiritual and the physical and academic aspects of all students is fundamental to our reason for being.

The College offers education for girls and boys in a unique, co-educational environment where students can grow into young adults, sure and confident of their self-worth. The College's structure and organization offer students an opportunity to concentrate their efforts on aspects of their personal development – academic, physical, cultural, and spiritual – in a logical and focused manner.

The College values academic excellence. Excellence is a relative, not an absolute concept, and should be viewed in terms of student growth.

The College must focus students' attention on their future after their time at Scots All Saints College. This does not mean choosing a career for students but providing them with skills designed to ensure they can determine their future path at any stage after finishing their secondary education.

The College attempts to provide leadership opportunities so that students can leave the College ready to contribute to effective leadership of the communities in which they will serve.

The College caters to students from differing backgrounds – city and country, day and boarding (including a number from overseas). We aim to foster a broad vision in the students – a statewide, nationwide, and international perspective of their place in society.

Being part of the College Community means accepting the obligations of proper social conduct consistent with our right name. Value is placed on self-discipline and individual responsibility.

• The Quest for Excellence through adventure, initiative, creativity, and growth
• Faith and Tradition inspires knowledge, respect, faith, and compassion
• Leadership through Teams in a spirit of service, compassion, fun, and community

To develop our children into successful men and women with a firm foundation for life built on the gospel of Christ.

Our vision reinforces the new College as a leading Presbyterian Co-educational Day and Boarding College for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. The aspiration for the Presbyterian Church is for all students, irrespective of where their careers or employment lead them in the future, will grow in grace and knowledge and be open to the possibilities of global knowledge and best practice. Our prayer is that they also grow in their faith in Christ.
