About the Conference

Scotch College welcomed 12 to 14 year olds to the west coast of Australia in their home town of Perth. The conference explored what it means to be ‘On The Edge’. Perth is the most isolated city in the world- and on the edge of a unique and ancient environment bordering the Indian Ocean. The conference connected to the theme in a variety of ways and all students were fully engaged.

The conference gave students the opportunity to participate in;

• Meeting the conference team
• Orientation of campus
• Games
• Opening Ceremony
• Keynote speakers
• High ropes course
• Bush Activities
• Surfing
• Botanic Gardens
• Supporting the homeless
• Local street artist- conference mural
