About Us
People & Careers
KNOWN, NURTURED, CHALLENGED
At Scotch, we strive to be an ambitious learning community where all are known, nurtured and challenged.
We seek to know people. Being a part of Scotch is not being anonymous in the crowd, it is being a part of our community.
We use data and analytics to start conversations, recognise individuality and use feedback loops to inform our next steps as teachers, mentors, colleagues and as a school.
We want to nurture people. Being a part of Scotch is to experience growth. Our structures allow people to flourish as learners, professionals and humans, and that growth is our measure of success.
Nurturing people means that our best tomorrow will be better than our best today.
We endeavour to challenge people. We create environments of high challenge and low threat, where people can learn about themselves with support and safety nets.
We ask difficult questions and seek diverse solutions because critical thinking, ethical reasoning and empathy for others are important measures of our success. Challenging people is the business of learning and growing.
We are an employer of choice and a leader in innovative and genuine people practices. Here at Scotch you will find a supportive, collaborative and professional working environment where innovation, collaboration and creative thinking are celebrated.
Scotch is an equal opportunity employer, and we value and promote equity and diversity.
Pre-Service Teacher Education Scholarship
Beginning in 2025, Scotch is offering four scholarships (one each in our ELC, Junior School, Middle School, and Senior School), open to pre-service teachers enrolled in the final year of a Bachelor of Education program or a Masters of Teaching. The scholarships include guidance from a teacher mentor, one day per week at the college and a $10,000 (gross) stipend.
We are highly committed to training and developing pre-service teachers. Through our scholarship program, we provide a nurturing environment where aspiring educators can flourish and hone their craft. Applications open in September each year.
