Our Mission
“Giving is not about making a donation. It is about making a difference.”
Kathy Calvin
From the very beginning Scots founders had a mission: to ensure every boy has the right to education that will discover his strength, develop his character and pursue his God-given calling in the world.
The Scots College Foundation was established to sustain this worthy mission. The members seek ways to create long-term financial security that will enable the College to develop relevant educational resources that guides its students, providing them with the finest preparation for life.
Below are projects and initiatives at The Scots College that has and will make a difference to the educational experience for our students.

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.
