  • EDUCATION

The world awaiting our students is becoming increasingly complex, dynamic and unpredictable. To thrive, we are told our students will need to be creative, adaptable and able to transfer skills from one context to another with relative ease. But how do they do that effectively? Inter-disciplinary education may hold the key. The Range Project is an educational podcast that draws lessons from those who have made a habit of expanding their range. Each guest has gone beyond an area of specialisation, gained their own inter-disciplinary understanding of the world and found their passion in the process. Studio Scotch is proudly supported by Old Scotch Collegians, Scotch Parents and Scotch College Teaching and Learning.
