Pipeline Student Management System (SMS)
In 2010, Scots introduced Pipeline SMS (shifting away from its former system Scoogle), a set of dynamically controlled sites allowing parents to access resources and research materials online, on the college's latest twin ISDN connection.
Pipeline now also incorporates all day-to-day school administration functions, including rolls, detentions, homework merits and demerits, behavioural reports, school report releases, discipline records, subject selection, student timetables, assessment marks, attendance records and subject resources, allowing parents and teachers to communicate easily online and transfer documents (and information), and software not usually available at home. This network allow parents to securely gain access to school publications (such as The Flying Scotsman and The Clansman newsletter), now only available in electronic format; academic and pastoral reports; assessment marks; academic documentation; school news articles; and so forth.
As part of this shift towards electronic learning, Scots has digital projectors, speaker systems and DVD/VCR systems in the majority of its classrooms and halls, in order to better facilitate media presentations by staff and students.

“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
