The SCOTS PGC College’s tagline ‘Where country values inspire excellence’ is more than just an advertising slogan according to principal Simon Shepherd.
“It was chosen because it summed up the unique feeling by all who come into contact with SCOTS PGC College,” he said.
“As a college, we strive to provide children with an education that will prepare them fully for their future.
“We live in a rapidly changing world, many of the jobs that our children will do are yet to be created. Considering this, it is vital that every student receives an education that prepares them to be lifelong and flexible learners.
“We believe an education must help students to develop learning skills that are as applicable in the workplace as they are in the school.”
According to Mr Shepherd, to achieve an education of this nature it is essential that the whole individual be nurtured and developed.
Students must develop cognitively, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
At SCOTS PGC, this is achieved through a holistic approach combining academic rigour, sports, critical thinking and a myriad of other learning opportunities.
“I would like to invite you, your family and friends to our open day on Saturday 13 June between 11am – 2pm,” he said.
“Experience first-hand our values and see our wonderful school campus and boarding facilities while meeting our current students and staff from Prep to Year 12.
“There will be something for the whole family, meet our Angus beef cattle and Texel sheep, enjoy kids’ face painting, art and craft activities, a free sausage sizzle and even coffee van to provide your caffeine fix.
“I look forward to welcoming you to our college and meeting you soon.”
