Tuesday brought the delightful Babies Proms and the Sports Awards Night, recognising outstanding student achievements. Wednesday was a milestone as our Year 12s attended their final classes, while the Senior Instrumental Music Evening highlighted our students’ musical talents. On Thursday, emotions ran high as we farewelled our Year 12s at the Final Assembly and Morning Tea, while our Year 11 Physics students enjoyed a day of learning at Adventure World. The SCEA Members’ Association Meeting was also held that evening. Today, Junior School students participated in Cambodia Day, with the highlight being the Colour Fun Run where students raised funds to support the work of RAW Impact, while Swanonline Year 12 students gathered for their Final Farewell Lunch.

Today our Junior School celebrated Cambodia Day. The morning assembly featured Kiss the Fish, where students voted for which teacher would kiss a frozen fish by donating to RAW Impact, an organisation transforming communities in Cambodia. The winning class, 1B, also had the chance to Sponge the Teacher and happily soaked Mrs King with water-filled sponges!
Throughout the term, students and parents have raised over $11,000 for RAW Impact, with counting still underway. The Bring and Buy Stall added to the fundraising, as children sold secondhand toys and books.
The day finished with a colourful and joy-filled Colour Fun Run, where students tackled obstacle courses, got wet, and were showered with bright powder. Thank you to all parents and students for your generous participation and for living out what it means to truly love your neighbour.
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.
Earlybird Special
Take advantage of earlybird pricing if you book before midnight tonight!

Venue: Maali Mia Theatre, Swan Christian CollegeÂ
Registration: Book now
Yesterday we farewelled our Year 12 students in a day filled with joy, memories and emotion. Parents and grandparents joined us for the Final Assembly and Morning Tea, where we celebrated the achievements of our graduating class.
The students then enjoyed their own lighthearted student-led assembly in the Maali Mia Theatre before being ushered into the Guard of Honour – a time-honoured tradition where Junior School students form a tunnel, cheering the Year 12s on as they step into the next chapter of their lives.
There were plenty of smiles, hugs and a few tears as we said goodbye to our beloved Year 12s. We pray God’s blessings over each of them as they move into the future with courage, hope and faith
