Swan Christian College marked R U OK? Day on 10 September by wearing a touch of yellow and taking part in activities that encouraged students to connect, check in with one another and remember the importance of looking out for those around them.
Throughout the day, Senior School students were encouraged to take time to ask a simple but important question: “Are you OK?” The day served as a reminder that meaningful conversations can make a difference and that listening well is an important way we can care for others.
A group of Senior School students also helped spread some kindness by handing out lollies to students around the College, creating another opportunity to connect and brighten someone’s day.
R U OK? Day complements the College’s broader approach to student wellbeing. Through our Living Well program, students are supported in their holistic development, with a focus on areas including positive relationships, resilience, mental health, leadership and spiritual wellbeing.
Students are also reminded that support is always available at the College. Our chaplains are an important part of our pastoral care and wellbeing support, and students are encouraged to reach out and have a conversation with a chaplain whenever they need someone to talk to.
While R U OK? Day provides an important reminder, caring for one another is something we seek to practise every day at Swan Christian College. By checking in, listening and making time for others, we can continue to build a community where students feel known, valued and supported.

Join us for this year’s Junior School production, A Hairy Tale, a fun-filled retelling of the classic Rapunzel story. Performed by our talented Junior School students, this colourful, chaotic and hilarious fairy tale parody is brought to life through song, movement and drama. It’s a fast-paced production the whole family will enjoy.
Somewhere deep within the enchanted Wychwood Forest, two supremely spoiled royals lived a life of absolute luxury, until their bratty behaviour finally went too far. Banished from their home, Prince Rupert and Princess Iphigenia cannot return until they discover the true meaning of love and sacrifice. But surviving the wilderness is no easy task, especially when they crash into a haircut-evading Rapunzel, a trendy Big Bad Wolf, and peasant siblings who traded their family electronics for five highly questionable magic beans!
A Hairy Tale
Date: 13 and 14 October 2026
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Maali Mia Theatre
Tickets: Book online at scea.me/hairytale2026 for the Early Bird discount until 25 September!
We look forward to sharing this entertaining production with our College community.

The evening included recital style performances from our Year 12 music students, as well as class-ensemble performances from the Year 10 and 12 classes. We also had a special treat as Dean of Instrumental Music, Kane Shaw had his first singing debut by performing with the Year 10 ensemble to the song ‘Can’t Stop’, by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Congratulations to all students involved and thank you to our Music staff for their dedication in preparing such an enjoyable evening!
