From cotton fields to classrooms: Principal Scott Thomson reflects on how innovation in agriculture mirrors the evolving needs of education.

At Nudgee, our students have the freedom to do more, be more, and achieve more. For every boy, there’s infinite opportunities.

A career in agriculture is often something passed down through bloodlines and inherited, but for families living on a farm, the burden of providing their children with an holistic education is significant. That’s where the selection of the right school becomes critical – and few have the resources to deliver “holistic” quite like The SCOTS PGC College.

Australia must prioritise the education and up-skilling of future leaders in our primary industries to effectively meet the growing demand for food and fibre.

Located in Sydney’s Bellevue Hill, The Scots College has had a close relationship with the Australian agricultural community for well over a century. Not only does Scots take a significant number of boarding students from country regions, but agriculture has been an important part of the college’s educational experience for a long time. This has only been reinforced by the practical learning experiences on offer at the new Bannockburn campus.
