The Scots College

"By providing experiences of excellence, team spirit and adventure, the boys are challenged to fully realise their inner strengths and individual resources, providing a platform for them to flourish in life. This is the heart of The Scots College's Glengarry Outdoor Education Program." Grahame Allen, Director of Glengarry and Outdoor Learning

Located in the pristine Kangaroo Valley, two hours south west of Sydney, Glengarry provides a learning environment in which the boys discover the tools they need to grow into fine young men. At Glengarry Scots boys discover...

personal strengths through experiential learning opportunities spanning all academic curriculum areas.
the value of our environment first hand. Located in a region renowned for its high biodiversity value, housing an abundance of native flora and fauna, Glengarry is the ideal Science classroom.
the benefit of healthy eating and exercise.
an expanded world view without mobiles, tv and internet access.
an enriched bond with their family through letter correspondence and family visits.
how to face their fears and enter 'the challenge zone', extending themselves beyond their wildest dreams.
how to live with others in a community of their peers in a six month residential stay in which life-long friendships are formed.
a deeper understanding of Christian values and teaching in relation to God, the world, and the environment they are a part of and their relationship to them.

Boys, who are confronted with challenges that take them beyond their comfort zones, discover new strengths and capabilities. Glengarry's Lifestyle Leadership Program encourages boys to persevere week after week on long term goals, emerging with strength and stamina they didn't know they had.
