Principal’s Easter Message

Schools are special places and nowhere is there such a clear example of a connected community as at a school. This connection is not only related to the physical space but also to the common understanding of why each family gathers at this place every school day; to engage in education. All members of the school community subscribe to a common mission, vision, and values and share hopes and dreams in a purpose to lead and guide children to responsible adulthood, to be engaged and active citizens. At Swan Christian College, we aspire to see each of our students and families thrive, understanding that we shine because we are created in the image of God.
