Scotch Oakburn College: Celebrating 140 Years of Community

In 2026, Scotch Oakburn College celebrates 140 years of community, connection and shared history.

Born from the amalgamation of Methodist Ladies' College, Oakburn College and Scotch College, Scotch Oakburn College stands as a testament to shared values, enduring traditions and a progressive spirit.

This celebration honours 140 years of learning, connection and community. It reflects the people, experiences and traditions that have shaped the College and continue to inspire future generations.

In true Scotch Oakburn spirit, the celebration has been community-led, with students, staff, families and Collegians contributing ideas, memories and stories. Together, they have helped create a program that reflects who the College is, where it has come from and the values that continue to guide it.

This community exhibition forms part of a broader celebration that recognises the people, stories and spirit that have shaped Scotch Oakburn College across 140 years.
