Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School and Scotch College, both Round Square Schools situated in Western Australia, are joining forces to co-host a Round Square Conference from April 12 to 17, 2025.
Themed; Footprints Of Unity… “, the conference targets students aged 11 to 14 (Years 7 & 8) and centres on the principles of Internationalism, with a special focus on Culture and Adventure.
Scotch College, located in Perth, will serve as the initial venue for all delegates, accommodating them in a boarding setting for the first two nights, including the conference’s opening ceremony. Delegates will partake in sunset activities overlooking the Swan River, experiencing Perth’s stunning skyline before embarking on a series of rotational activities over three nights at the Scotch College’s dedicated Outdoor Learning and Adventure facility, and the expansive 33- hectare bushland campus of Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School located in the beautiful Geographe region of the great South West.
The conference will immerse students in various activities aimed at deepening their understanding of Indigenous culture, including art, exploration of ancient caves, and outdoor adventures. Through these experiences, participants will forge connections with Aboriginal culture and history, fostering a profound appreciation like never before. As the conference draws to a close, all delegates will reconvene at Scotch College where Baraza groups will unite for the closing ceremony, concluding discussions, and presentations by guest speakers.
