The silence of good students
It is not difficult to find students with good grades but are timid in every discussion. They know their lessons well, do all types of questions correctly, but do not raise their hands when the teacher asks open-ended questions, do not argue when there is a different perspective, and are not ready to be… wrong.
From this mentality, it is easy to understand that choosing a school after the 10th grade admission results also becomes a challenge for students, because with their inherent "perfectionism", not being admitted to their first choice means that they feel like they have failed or their academic journey will end.
However, this is not the case.
Choose the right fit
According to Dr. Douglas Foster, President of Scotch AGS, many students who aim to study abroad and choose international training programs have successfully entered top universities. And to do that, everyone must have a roadmap planned early, especially right from high school. A roadmap planned early not only helps students study more effectively, but also helps them understand what they are studying for, instead of studying for grades or expectations from their parents.
Moving to a new learning environment, following a suitable roadmap, where the academic program and extracurricular activities are balanced, will become a turning point that helps many students to be themselves. They are allowed to learn at their own pace, develop their personal abilities intentionally and are not afraid to make mistakes to grow.
Scotch AGS students prepare for university through orientation workshops.
At Scotch AGS, students will start from Year 10 with the AGS Talent program - the Australian High School Diploma for gifted students. They are encouraged to explore many fields early to find what they really love through the SACE pathway. In addition, assessment of ability is not only based on scores, but also through the learning process, independent thinking ability, critical thinking skills and initiative. This is the factor that makes AGS Talent different from other training programs.
As a 2025 graduate, PNM said that from the first year of high school, the program helped her see her future career path. In particular, the teaching staff played a very important role in her learning path over the past 3 years.

“Although the SACE learning process encountered many difficulties, it helped me to improve many skills. I got acquainted with experimental lessons, research and essays. Not only that, the teachers always knew how to make the most complicated things extremely easy to understand, and always supported me to find solutions after every mistake when solving difficult exercises. That is why we always learn with an open mind, not afraid to explore new things.”
"Dare to be wrong" is also a way to discover talent
Only when students feel safe and respected, even when they make mistakes, will they dare to step out of their comfort zone to challenge themselves and make breakthroughs. That is the opinion of Mr. Trent Driver - General Principal of Scotch College Adelaide (South Australia). Sharing about the school's vision of the 100-year-old Australian school, he said:
“We are willing to be pioneers, to find answers to new questions and to stand firm in what we believe in. At Scotch, we know how to create a learning environment that balances pressure and challenge. Therefore, students can explore freely, knowing that the teaching staff will always be there to support them when they need it.
And South Australia Scotch AGS has inherited thateducational tradition with an innovative and comprehensive educational philosophy, empowering students to learn for themselves, explore for themselves and take control of their future. Combined with the AGS Talent program for high school students, we believe that we will equip students with the full skills to confidently conquer university, step out of their comfort zone and make a breakthrough in their future lives."
