Message from the Principal
The College's motto, 'I will find a
way to higher things' encapsulates
all that we do to achieve the goal
of educating and developing our
students.
Scotch Oakburn enjoys a
reputation for excellence in each
of the three broad and inter-woven
programs in which our students are
engaged: the academic, pastoral
and co-curricular. The breadth of
these programs provides a myriad
of opportunities for students to
explore their extensive talents and
potential. At the core of these
programs are values that underpin
the growth and development of
every young person at Scotch
Oakburn. Values such as:
compassion, humility, integrity,
responsibility, tolerance and
commitment.
Teaching and learning at Scotch
Oakburn occurs in a wide variety of
environments that challenge and
stimulate students' learning.
Students experience innovative
and creative programs in learning
spaces and performance venues
designed specifically for learning in
the 21st century. Learning
continues outdoors in our extensive
gardens, wetlands, sporting fields
and arenas, and of course in our
beautiful natural World Heritage
environment. The College has
further extended its learning
resources via local and global
partnerships with the University of
Tasmania and international schools
through our involvement in ‘Round
Square’.
I believe the College's talented and
highly qualified staff are its greatest
resource and as such are excellent
role models for our young people.
They continually learn, reflect and
innovate to ensure they utilise best
practice teaching methods and
provide the highest standard of
education and care for our
students. Staff use the array of
programs on offer to better know
and understand the young people
in their care. The rapport they build
with students and the subsequent
engagement in the life of the
College that those relationships
promote are vital in nurturing a
sense of belonging and love of
learning in each student.
Throughout their educational
experience at Scotch Oakburn,
students continually develop the
fundamental skills of literacy and
numeracy. Alongside these
essential skills students hone their
communication skills, are
encouraged to be inquiring and
reflective thinkers, and importantly
to become ethical and responsible
citizens and life-long learners.
Scotch Oakburn College works in
partnership with our students,
parents and the community to
provide a world class education.
This education ensures the
development of well-rounded
young people who are able to
make informed decisions and who
are confident to engage positively
and productively in the world
beyond the College.

College Profile
Scotch Oakburn College is
a Uniting Church
coeducational day and
boarding school of
approximately 1200
students in Launceston,
Tasmania. The College is
open entry and provides
extensive learning
programs for students aged
three to Year 12. The
College operates on three
Campuses: Elphin, Penquite
and The Valley. The Elphin
Campus contains the
Junior School (Early
Learning to Year 5) and the
Boarding House, providing
excellent accommodation
for students from around
Tasmania, interstate and
overseas. The Penquite
Campus houses the Middle
(Years 6 to 8) and the
Senior (Years 9 to 12)
Schools. It also has the
Performing Arts Centre and
Scotch Oakburn Park, the
College's extensive sporting
fields and the Wetlands
Trail, used for artistic,
scientific and
environmental study. The
Valley Campus is the
College's Education
Outdoors Centre, an hour
from Launceston.
The College is known for its
outstanding academic
results and its broad
programs covering social,
emotional, physical and
spiritual learning in addition
to academic.
It has a strong Teaching for
Understanding and inquiry
based approach, emphasising
experiential education. In Early
Learning, the Reggio Emilia
approach is followed. The
College enjoys a fine
reputation in debating, public
speaking, the arts, sport and
education outdoors. Wellbeing
learning exists at all levels,
there is a healthy choice
Tuckshop and
encouragement of healthy
lifestyles. A Health Club is
offered on site for students,
parents and other community
members and before/after
school care operates.
Financial literacy education
has been an important
addition from the middle years
to the senior years. The
College expects extensive
professional learning by staff,
focussing largely on
incorporating greater
understanding of how young
people learn. This links to staff
learning goals and staff
appraisal.
Understanding how young
people learn has also been
the driver for extensive and
creative learning facilities on
each Campus, following
directions established by the
College's Strategic Plan. The
architecture of the Middle
School, Senior Student Centre,
and the conneXions learning
centre in the Junior School,
have earned wide acclaim.
The facilities are used after
school hours by community
groups and for learning
opportunities. A Vacation
Care program operates
and there are also Forensic
Science and sporting
holiday programs. The
College is a global
member of Round Square,
encouraging involvement
by students in exchanges,
conferences and service
projects. The Round Square
"IDEALS" of International
understanding,
Democracy, Environmental
awareness, Adventure,
Leadership and Service are
prominent in the education
of all students. There have
been some significant
service based projects
developed with students.
These have included links
with indigenous
communities and support
for indigenous students to
study at the College.
Educational partnerships
are developing strongly
with local businesses and
with the University of
Tasmania.

Our Values
To be encouraged, modelled and
explored:
Our Curriculum must reflect a set of
values that guide, and are key elements

learning. Such values must be strong
enough to vigorously propel our students
into the wider world as citizens who are
confident, but not arrogant, purposeful
but flexible and responsive to new ideas,
as well as being compassionate.
Every decision relating to curriculum and
every interaction that takes place in our
College reflects the values of the
individual and the collective values of the
College.
Scotch Oakburn’s learning community is
built on a Christian heritage and strong
school traditions. The values that we
espouse include:
Grace
Commitment
Compassion
Humility
Belonging
Resilience
Integrity
Responsibility
Inclusivity
In addition, our students will be
encouraged to value:
• All members of our community
• Respect for themselves and others
• A pursuit of Excellence,
collaboratively and individually, in all
areas of learning
• Innovation, inquiry, curiosity and
creativity
• Human and cultural diversity

Scotch Oakburn College Education
Dimensions of learning
Creating
The Creating Dimension involves generating
something new and of value, whether a new idea
or solution to a problem, adapting existing
materials, a new method or device or a new
artistic creation or form.
Contributing
The Contributing Dimension connects with the
Scotch Oakburn Vision for Learning in its
description of students as “responsible citizens,
world contributors and life-long learners.”
All members of the College contribute to their
community, their nation and the world.
Students become self-directed and reflective in
their thinking, confident, flexible and keen to
contribute not only to their own learning, but also
to the learning of others and they learn to value
the contributions of others. Students gain an
understanding of why we should contribute,
explain the various ways of contributing to our
local community and society, and undertake
opportunities to contribute and to practice good
citizenship.
Language and Literacy
The Language and Literacy Dimension describes
the ability to read, view, speak, listen and write
according to context, purpose and audience. It
includes an understanding of conventions of
standard Australian English as well as knowledge
and appreciation of a wide range of texts.
Logic and Numeracy
The Logic and Numeracy dimension focuses on the
development of logical thinking skills and the
recognition and understanding of the role of
mathematics in everyday activities. Students
develop the confidence, willingness and ability to
use and apply mathematics to their lives in
meaningful ways. Mathematics makes a critical
contribution to the development of numeracy. This
includes computational, spatial and algebraic
capabilities, and the application of these in areas
such as financial literacy, creation and
appreciation of design, and data collection and
interpretation. Logical thinking and numeracy are
essential components of citizenship in the 21st
century.
Scotch Oakburn College 2015 Annual Report
Personal and Future Wellbeing
The Personal and Future Wellbeing dimension
emphasises the understanding of the key tenets
of thriving in a rapidly changing, technologically
focused and globalised environment. Personal
and Future Wellbeing are based on the premise
that whilst the future for our students is difficult to
predict, developing a range of 21st Century skills
in our students will assist them in capably
managing the challenges they may face in a life
of learning ahead.
Social & Emotional Wellbeing
The Social and Emotional Wellbeing dimension
underpins the development of safe, supportive
learning environments, improved student
behaviour and academic performance at
Scotch Oakburn College. Students who are
happy in themselves, relate well to others and are
motivated to learn, achieve better academically
and create positive relationships with their
teachers, family and classmates.
Physical Wellbeing
The Physical Wellbeing Dimension recognises that
the health of our bodies is one component of
wellbeing. Physical Wellbeing refers to the
efficient functioning of the body and its systems.
Students gain an understanding of Physical
Wellbeing, through a combination of physical
fitness activity, and theoretical understanding of
body composition and systems, and healthy
nutrition.
Understanding of Our World
and Beyond
This element recognises that students require an
awareness and understanding of the world in
which they live. They live in a world that is
connected through politics, religion, economics,
culture, science, technology and the
environment.
Students need to explore their world in a variety
of ways to develop the skills and attributes to
communicate across cultures whilst expanding
their awareness of the world’s complexities and
learning to appreciate differences.
