Future of Scots

Education – as you and I experienced it – is no longer fit for purpose. A one-size-fits-all approach is failing our nation’s children. We must prepare them for roles that have not even been imagined yet. This is why The Scots College is on a mission to reinvent education.

 

Currently the College has two major construction projects underway:

  • Replacing the former Stevenson Library to the John Cunningham Student Centre which will become the hub of student learning.
  • The Scots College Auditorium is being refurbished to accentuate its purpose as the centre of celebration and honour in the life of a Scots family.

William Elder

1927-2010

Mr Alan Elder was born in Scotland and migrated to Australia with his parents at a young age. He attended The Scots College for all his schooling, graduating in 1944. He played 1st XI Cricket and was a member of the College Cadet Unit. After leaving school Mr Elder studied accountancy and retained a life-long love of the College, especially the Pipes and Drums. Mr Elder never married, however the significant bequest he left will allow his Scots family to remember him through the Lang Walker Business Centre.
