A.B. Paterson College has maintained a profound connection with Australia's outback, specifically with Winton, for three decades. Rooted in the vision of educating and immersing young minds in the nation's history and landscapes, the College's link to Winton has culminated in Barty’s Place; a pivotal site in the heart of Winton for educational experiences and cultural exchange.
