Scots All Saints College is the union of former schools All Saints College and The Scots School.
In a noticeable change, the merged college has introduced a new middle school program based at the All Saints campus for Years 5 through to 8.
Inaugural middle school captains Emily Brown and Zane Newham expressed plenty of enthusiasm towards the brand new school environment.
“There’s so many new people to meet and friendships to make, and I’m really excited for that,” Emily said.
“It’s really cool to see all the new changes, and the merged school will provide brand new opportunities for everyone,” Zane added.
Along with the new school, Scots All Saints College has launched brand new uniforms that combine the heritage of both Scots and All Saints into a united new look.
Scots All Saints College headmaster David Gates said the students have been ready for the merger for a long time.
“When you bring the two schools together, you get the best of both,” he said.
“The most important thing is to ensure students are happy and engaged in learning.”
