The Thistle - An E-Newsletter of Scotch College, Perth, Western Australia

For the last eight years a limited number of Year 7 boys have had the opportunity to go on a Year 7 Singapore Tour at the end of Winter Term. This tour is co-hosted by Shuqun and Hougang Primary Schools in Singapore. Running parallel to this tour has been the Singapore @School Tour where we have offered boys an "at home" experience of being immersed in a Singaporean/Asian culture. Both tours are extremely well received and popular with the students. This year we are adding two new options to the Year 7 'Tour Week' with the chance for boys to participate in a French or Indonesian language immersion programme. Both of these opportunities will unfold in and around Scotch College with a focus on boys being immersed in either the French or Indonesian language and participate in activities linked with the culture of these two countries.

This Wednesday 10 April from 6.30pm -7.30pm in the Chapel Mr Ramsay and Mr Ledger will conduct an information session on the tours, with our main focus on the Singapore Tour. For parents considering the Singapore Tour this is an important meeting to attend. Approximate cost for each tour is:

  • Singapore Tour $1500
  • French & Indonesian Immersion Weeks $75
  • Singapore @ School Tour $25
