Welcome to Evelyn Scott School

The Future of Education Strategy outlines the plan for education in the ACT for the next decade. It is based on what the ACT Government has heard through a conversation with the ACT community and an analysis of issues by a range of experts. The Strategy is based on four foundations and four principles for implementation that form a 'roadmap' for the future.

It is important and necessary to have conversations around diversity so that children know that it's ok to be different. At Evelyn Scott School we aim to provide safe and supportive spaces at school where young rainbow people feel proud of who they are.

We are currently seeking innovative and committed educators to join our team. During Week 7 of Term 3, we held an online Transfer Information Session.

If you missed this session, there is no need to panic! Please find information and links below to assist you.

It is worth remembering that we have been entrusted with this beautiful school and a great deal of funds and resources have gone into constructing a contemporary building to match our contemporary approach to learning.

Put simply, the education that served us as either Baby Boomers or Generation X/Y no longer serves our children. Contemporary learning means preparing for a shifting future that requires skills and knowledge, citizenship, connection to culture and the environment and capacity to solve complex problems with creative approaches.

First published before we opened our doors in 2021, Jackie's visions for Evelyn Scott School and its future focused learning model is captured in this interview with the Canberra Times.
