This week has been a productive one across the College. On Monday, our Year 7 girls headed off to Camp, building friendships and resilience through shared experiences. Tuesday brought an unexpected power outage, and we are grateful for the patience and support shown by our families throughout the day. Our Year 10 -12 students also enjoyed a strong display of House spirit at the Swimming Carnival. On Wednesday evening, we welcomed families to the Year 9 -10 Parent Information Evening, while our Year 12 students began their Rottnest Camp and our Year 7 boys departed for Camp. Today, students have been involved in Swanonline Engagement Day, the STTC Year 11 Adventure World excursion, and we met with parent representatives at our Parents in Partnership Meeting.
Today was also State Census Day. Thank you to parents who ensured absences were reported to Student Services promptly. Accurate attendance information enables us to provide required data to the government, supporting informed planning and policy decisions for schools across Western Australia.
Looking ahead, next week’s events include:
Monday: Interschool Cricket Competition
Tuesday: Da Vinci Decathlon for Junior School students
Wednesday: Year 7–9 Swimming Carnival; Year 11–12 and STTC Parent Information Evening
Thursday: Year 7 Parent Sundowner Evening
Friday: Junior School Student Leaders Assembly

We are excited to present Fenceline Theatre Company’s latest production, The Sound of No Music! Featuring our Senior School students, this promises to be a hilarious production.
What is it about?
This is a comic farce about a theatre company that has lost its money! In a desperate attempt to rebuild the coffers, they need a show in a hurry and decide to do a whodunnit mystery in an Austrian Abbey called The Sound of No Music. As the rehearsals commence, so does the chaos and the ensemble navigate their parody, while trying to find out where that money has gone.
Purchase your tickets now before Term 2 at discounted prices at The Sound of No Music.
Dates: Tues 28 April | Wed 29 April | Thurs 30 April | Fri 1 May | Saturday 2 May
Times: 7:15pm – 9:00pm
Venue: Maali Mia Theatre
Buy tickets at: The Sound of No Music
As part of the New Midland Station Project, the Public Transport Authority has advised that Transperth services on the Midland Line between Midland and Bassendean will be cancelled from 22 January to Sunday 22 February 2026.
This closure may affect students and staff who regularly travel to the College using this service. Train replacement buses will be in operation during the shutdown, however we strongly encourage families to plan ahead and allow extra time for travel during this period.
Transperth will be conducting a full awareness campaign to notify passengers, but we recommend checking the latest updates directly via their website: www.transperth.wa.gov.au
Thank you for your understanding as this public transport upgrade progresses.
Yesterday we celebrated the opening of our new Year 3 and 4 playground with a special ceremony. Students gathered on the grass, as our Year 6 leader led a time of prayer and gratitude, giving thanks for God’s provision and the many people involved in bringing the project to completion. Mr Lloyd Barlow, Corporate Services Manager officially opened the playground by cutting the ribbon, marking an exciting moment for our Junior School.
We also announced the winner of the playground poster competition, Mhariane O of 4A, with the winning student and class recognised before being the first to enjoy play time on the new equipment. It was a wonderful time of community celebration, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to use this space with joy and respect.
