This week has offered a range of experiences that reflect the richness of College life.

Tuesday evening saw our Year 12 Drama students take to the stage for their Drama Showcase, performing compelling dramatic monologues.

Thursday was a full day, with selected students continuing their learning in beekeeping under the guidance of Mr Leaver, and Senior School students presenting an intimate Strings Musical Soirée in the Maali Room. To finish the week, our Swan Trade Training Centre fathers were honoured with a special Father’s Day Breakfast, while Senior School students gathered for their House Assembly.

Over the last 3 days, year 5 students have been learning to GO BEYOND’ as part of their Year 5 Busselton camp. Using the story of Nehemiah, they have been exploring different ways they can GO BEYOND – with the reminder that TOGETHER WE THRIVE.
The ability to GO BEYOND was put into practice through a variety of activities. The year 5’s bounced away at Gravity, climbed high and flew at Forest Adventures, and took a step (or 720) as they explored the Ngilgi cave…And even if they say otherwise – they did sleep.
What an adventure.

We’re excited to invite families to this year’s Junior School production, Hop It, Poppit!, presented by Fenceline Theatre. This original performance promises a delightful mix of humour, heart and important life lessons.
What it’s about
Somewhere far, far away, a king and a queen lived in a castle, surrounded by their royal subjects – except the subjects were not so loyal. The people of the kingdom had grown tired of their king’s unkindness. Over time, he had become harsh and cruel, ignoring the queen’s gentle warnings. Then one day, something strange happened: the prince mysteriously turned into a frog and hopped right out of the kingdom!
Our Junior School students will bring this colourful and meaningful story to life through song, movement and drama. It’s a production the whole family will enjoy.

This Thursday students across Senior School came together to recognise RUOK? Day – a national initiative that encourages conversations about mental health and wellbeing.
Students and staff wore yellow accessories and clothing in exchange for a gold coin donation, with proceeds going toward RUOK? Day’s ongoing support programs. A group of students also baked and sold cupcakes at recess, generously giving their time and talents to raise further funds.
At lunchtime students enjoyed karaoke in the Amphitheatre and a fun game of volleyball in the Gym. These activities provided a great opportunity for connection, reminding students of the importance of checking in with each other and building a culture of compassion.

The Screen Pathways Initiative of The Borrowed Song is an innovative short film project that unites industry filmmakers, university graduates, and Swan Christian College students and staff in a unique mentoring experience.
Students from Swan Christian College were at the heart of the project – performing the music, writing, acting, and contributing creatively to the film.
In the months ahead, students will take part in a competition to edit, colour grade, and work on post-production audio using the film’s footage. Guided by Dr Owen Beck, they will receive hands-on coaching as they bring their own version of the film to life.
Prizes and Opportunities
Win prizes including a $5,000 camera from Midland Camera House (with more than one prize available)
Enter completed films into festivals
Gain real-world industry experience and mentoring
This initiative demonstrates the power of collaboration between education and industry, giving students practical tools and pathways to succeed in the screen and creative arts.
Students can participate in the competition by getting in touch with Dr Owen Beck.
