Bush School
Whole-body experiences, especially those in natural environments, open up our senses and cognitive function in ways that learning indoors cannot achieve.
At Scotch College, we utilise our proximity to Perth's beautiful Lake Claremont to provide a genuine outdoor experience for our pre-kindy students. Our nature play programme includes Bush School and Bush Art.
Student-centred learning
We combine the globally recognised International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme with the student-centred Reggio Emilia approach.
Our Pre-Kindergarten teachers create opportunities for each child to explore their passions and interests. By observing each child's play and listening to their questions, we can facilitate valuable student-centred learning. Children develop the foundations for pre-literacy and pre-numeracy, while uncovering the world around them. This helps us provide each child with the best pre-kindy experience for them in Perth.
Music Every Day
Music education is essential in developing flexible, focused and skilled minds, and it starts with our youngest students in Pre-Kindergarten.
Our Music Every Day programme recognises the fascinating links between music, memory and the brain, and it is delivered by specialist teachers.

Language learning
As an International Baccalaureate school, we nurture pre-kindy students in Perth with a global outlook.
Pre-Kindergarten is a time when the brain is very receptive to learning languages. At Scotch, our students learn French.
Tailored support
We regularly assess your child's skills in a range of areas to help us tailor their learning programme.
All children are also screened by our Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist, so we can identify early any underlying issues that may need attention.
Flexi-day programmes
Our Pre-Kindergarten programmes are very flexible. You choose the days your child attends our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. You can choose two, three, four or five days for your child to attend.
While we always do our best to accommodate families' preferences as much as possible, please note that all enrolments are dependent upon class availability.
