Netball Club AGM

On Thursday 17 November at 6:00pm the Swan Christian Netball Club will be holding its Annual General Meeting at Swan in the Conference room from 6pm. All parents of students involved in the netball club are encouraged to attend.

Principal’s Message

Recently we welcomed our Year 7, 2023 students onto the campus for their Orientation Day. Meeting new families at the front of the administration block where the five House tents were set up in the Faction House colours, was an opportunity to have some intentional conversations. Several of the students expressed their excitement of the day but confessed that they were also a little nervous and anxious, which is a feeling that one would expect. Praise God the day went well, and many students went home happy having made new friends.

Opportunity is Knocking

Some say opportunity knocks only once, but this is not true at Swan. As House Coordinators it is part of our job to get students to open the door when it does knock. 2022 has been a year of much opportunity when it comes to House events. Many students have opened doors and, in some cases, even kicked them down. These have all been opportunities to grow as individuals, to sometimes step out of comfort zones, to build resilience and to make new friends and memories.

Japanese Storytelling via Zoom

On Wednesday afternoon, 26 October, Year 9 and selected Year 7 Japanese students connected with one of our sister schools in Japan, Hojo High School in Kasai city, Hyogo prefecture.

Students Achieve in Sports

Congratulations to students who have achieved high honours for their sporting achievements recently. Congratulations to Daniel B (Year 12), Jeandre K (Year 10) and Harrison S (Year 8) for being selected to the ACC Athletics All-Star team for 2022.

Day Out At RAAF Base

Selected Swan Christian College students participating in Swan Worklink were invited to attend a showcase run by BAE Systems and the Defense force at the RAAF Base Pearce over the recent holidays. These students joined 20 other students from Derby District High School who had flown down for the event.

Year 11s Canoe in Nannup

Our Year 11 Outdoor Ed students recently canoed down Blackwood River in Nannup from 25 to 28 October. Mrs McPhail and Mr Dallin led the students and taught them how to plan and prepare for the trip. 10 students participated in the camp and a bus trip took them down to Nannup, accompanied by two teachers, one canoeing support instructor and one support driver.

Precious Moments with Grandparents

Our Junior School grandparents enjoyed a lovely picnic on the Junior School Campus with their grandchildren on 1 November. The sun was out and it was the perfect day for a BYO picnic outdoors.

Pre Primarys Become Wildlife Engineers

On Wednesday 19 October, Pre Primary students and teachers enjoyed a visit from a local wildlife rescue expert and hero Andrea, from Express Wildlife Rescue. She impressed us with her huge heart and 40 years of local knowledge. Then surprised us with two adorable little joeys called Sugar and Scooby Doo. Our hearts melted and we just knew we needed to help! So, as part of our STEM learning the pre-primary students have become Wildlife Engineers!

Enhanced Hearing in the Early Years

At the beginning of Term 4, the Kindergarten, Pre-Primary and Year 1 classes were fitted out with a Redcat sound system. The Cat system enhances the learning environment by evenly distributing the sound of the teachers voice through the indoor learning space. Via a flexi-mike, that hangs around the teachers neck, the teachers voice is wirelessly projected to a wall mounted speaker, positioned at the rear of the class.
