Swan Christian College is pleased to announce the development of new purpose-designed learning spaces for our Junior School students.
Construction will commence at the end of March on a new build, that will include a Flexible Learning area, namely, a dedicated Music room, and a purpose-built Art room. These spaces are being designed to support creativity, collaboration, and engaging learning experiences for our younger students.
The project is scheduled for completion in time for the 2027 academic year. Once finished, the new facilities will allow the current rooms used by Junior School students in the Senior School area to be vacated. This will enable all Junior School classes and learning spaces to be located within the Junior School precinct.
This development is an important step in continuing to strengthen our learning environments and ensuring that our students have spaces designed specifically for their stage of learning.
Our Year 5 students recently enjoyed an exciting day of learning at Perth Zoo, taking part in the Wild Protectors education program. This engaging 90-minute experience allowed students to step into the role of wildlife rangers as they explored how people work to protect animals and their habitats around the world. Through guided discussions and hands-on group activities, students investigated the challenges facing wildlife in environments such as the Asian Rainforest and African Savannah, while learning about the important conservation work taking place to support these species.
Students also had the opportunity to explore the Zoo grounds, making connections to their in-class Biological Sciences learning about animal and plant adaptations. As they observed a variety of species, students considered how different physical and behavioural adaptations help plants and animals survive in their environments. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning in Science and Humanities with real-world examples, encouraging students to think critically about conservation and how their own actions can help protect the natural world.Â
On Wednesday, the seven pillars located at the front of the Senior School Campus were carefully removed in preparation for an exciting refresh.
The pillars will be rebranded to reflect the Charis Virtues, which will be displayed across the new designs. Mr Clive Smith and Mr Luke Norman are currently working on laser cutting the updated panels that will feature the following virtues:
Courage
Humility
Appreciation
Respect
Integrity
Self-control
The word Charis means the grace of God, and these virtues reflect the character qualities we seek to nurture in our students each day.
Once completed, the refreshed pillars will serve as a visible reminder to our community of the values that shape life and learning at the College.
