Overall, Swan Christian College’s Senior School provides an inclusive, supportive, and innovative environment that inspires students to reach their full potential.
The Swan Christian College Senior School Wellbeing program is a vital aspect of the educational experience. As a faith-based institution, we understand the importance of providing spiritual guidance and support to our adolescent students.
Our chaplains and psychologists are trained professionals who are equipped to offer counselling, mentorship, and pastoral care to any student who seeks it within Junior or Senior School. They are responsive listeners who offer a caring ear to those in need and create a safe and confidential environment for students to discuss any issues or challenges they may be facing.
The program also offers opportunities for students to engage in spiritual exploration, reflection, and growth, through faith-based classroom activities and Christian Living classes in Senior School. . The Wellbeing program is one of the many ways that our school is committed to the holistic well-being of our students, and we are proud to offer it as an integral part of our educational community.
Swan Christian College works diligently to create a safe and nurturing environment that provides students the opportunity to flourish. All staff members provide pastoral care and ensure the provision of proactive and reactive support measures address the holistic wellbeing of each student.
Understanding our place in creation cannot be achieved without acknowledging that we are beings created in God’s image. The most essential question a person can seek to answer is therefore not ‘who am I?’ or ‘what am I?’, but ‘whose am I?’.
The Bible affirms each of the following elements in our understanding of humanity, which together form the basis of all wellbeing programs at Swan Christian College.
We understand people to be:
- Physical – we have physical bodies that need nurturing, strengthening and training.
- Emotional – we are psychological beings with high levels of self-awareness. Our emotional experiences are just as real as our physical ones.
- Social – we are members of social networks of varying complexity and require positive, encouraging and supportive relationships.
- Mental – we have the faculties and intellectual capacity for growth and creativity.
- Spiritual – we have a fundamental need for relationship with God, the source of true life.
Our goal is that every student will have at least one adult at the College that they can connect to and build a positive relationship with, so that if things do go wrong, they have someone they can talk to.
Senior School
The Mentor Group and Mentor Teacher are important elements of stability and support for students. Deans of Year have oversight of pastoral care for each year group in the Senior School, as students continue to meet daily with their Mentor Group and Mentor Teacher.
The Dean of Year will listen, encourage and support students on their journey through Senior School. Using a coaching philosophy, they inspire and empower the students to take responsibility for their own decisions and together with the Educational Support Coordinator, Senior School Chaplain and College Psychologist, ensure that every individual student is provided with the highest level of support.
A specialist group of staff are specifically chosen to work with the Dean of Year 7 to assist students in their significant year of transition into the secondary years.
Our wellbeing program Living Well focuses on our students’ holistic development, beyond the traditional core curriculum. The program includes peer support, team building, leadership and resilience training, online safety and mental health education. The aim of the program is to equip students to flourish and achieve outstanding results, during their schooling life and beyond.
The program encourages mindfulness, exercise, and other stress-busting strategies, while also providing additional mental health resources and information for parents to access as they help their children through the rapidly changing social fabric and the stresses of teenage years.
The Living Well program delivers strategies and a better understanding of our changing world to our students and will actively focus on preparing our students for life beyond school. Workshops for students and parents with quality specialist facilitators will be made available and our College and camp programs will include opportunities to develop resilience, confidence and life skills.

Instrumental lessons are available through the College on all the major instruments from our team of professional music tutors.
Middle School
In Years 7 and 8, students undertake a short course (Semester) of study enabling them to explore music. This includes studying music from a variety of styles, performing music using instruments such as piano, voice, guitar and percussion and learning about how music is structured. In Year 9, students may select courses in Music that further develop their musicianship and knowledge of theory.
Senior School
In Year 10, students may select further courses in Music to continue to develop their musicianship and knowledge of theory.
In Years 11 and 12, students are offered General Music and ATAR Music. The courses are dictated by the authority, details of which can be found at https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/arts/music. The Music courses encourage students to explore a range of musical experiences, developing their musical skills and understanding, and creative and expressive potential. In ATAR this is realised through a choice of one of three defined contexts: Western Art Music, Jazz, or Contemporary Music.
Extracurricular
Students may also participate in the variety of extracurricular activities offered at the College before, during and after school hours. These include Choirs, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Guitar Ensemble, Worship Band, Rock Bands, String Ensemble and Drum Corp.
The school performing ensembles perform regularly at school and community events.
Dance
Dancing brings joy and grows community; it is a creative outlet that uses music and movement. It increases activity levels, develops body awareness, and improves critical thinking. Students develop skills and creativity through the exploration of dance styles including Jazz, Hip Hop and Contemporary, and will explore and create their own dance choreography.
Dance in Senior School explores cultural dance styles from guest choreographers and expands student’s choreographic skills with increasing opportunities.
Co-Curricular Opportunities
The Dance Showcase
The Dance Showcase is the highlight of our Dance program where students present classwork and choreography developed throughout the year. Students are also invited to audition and perform dance items created outside of class to be included in the evening.
Dance Club
Dance club provides an exciting opportunity to be involved in the dance showcase if for some reason students were unable to choose Dance as a subject. It’s open to Year 7-12 students and is run during lunchtimes to prepare a piece or two for the showcase.
Media
The Media Production and Analysis course at Swan Christian College provides students with an exciting and rewarding pathway to understanding the media. Through hands on learning and engaging investigation and research tasks, students become more informed both as viewers and producers.
Media and Society
The media plays an increasingly powerful role in our society, so it is important that we teach young people how to respond critically to the messages it presents. Through the course students gain a strong understanding of visual storytelling and have the opportunity to create compelling media that addresses important issues. Topics that have been addressed in student work include poverty (A Cambodian Story), homelessness (Struggle For Existence), and self-image (Priceless). Many artistic and humorous pieces of work can be produced including music videos, news stories, short films and documentaries.
Accolades
Our students have gained many accolades from the outside community including winning a prestigious WA Screen Award (finalists in the secondary school category from 2007-2010), and winning multiple web design awards in the RAC Fame competition (2008-2010). Using industry standard equipment students consistently create professional quality work that has paved the way for many of them to go on to further study and employment in the media industry.
Visual Art
The Visual Arts course encourages students to express original ideas and feelings creatively through resolved artworks. Students are given a themed project brief each term and work in a progressive and explorative manner to produce a highly resolved unique artwork. Each project has a focus on a different media in order to build strength in a variety of technical skills and processes. Students use the elements and principles of design to develop aesthetic awareness and consider the purpose of meaning through a Christian perspective to make informed evaluations of art.
This is a course for students who are interested in creating, designing, researching, explaining and evaluating ideas for the glory of God. It is for students who choose to take a practical approach to coursework by developing their creative abilities in the creation and production of functional products based on the needs of the designer from a Christian perspective. The course themes investigate the concept of symbolic representation and how it can be used to signify the individual nature and personality God invests in each person He has created. Students are encouraged to consider the construction of meaning based on experiences in the world.
This course requires students to apply organisational skills in the production of a folio that is one of the key components for assessment. Students are encouraged to see the folio as personal resource that should be taken care of as God encourages us to care for others and our materials. Students are assessed on practical skills, creativity, and the information compiled in the folio through a number of key projects throughout the year. They are encouraged and asked to comment on the Christian perspective on the many social issues raised.
Drama
Why Drama?
Drama at Swan Christian College allows students to develop confidence and skills in collaboration, problem-solving, communication, and creativity, as well as engage in a variety of performance and develop presentation related skills. Our focus is to create a safe and rewarding environment for students to explore their God-given talents, or develop the confidence and soft skills they will need in their future endeavours.
Initially, students are introduced to elementary skills with a focus on full participation in a safe and supportive environment. As they develop in confidence and age, they participate in public showcases, and begin devising their own work, allowing for exploration in writing, improvisation, teamwork, organisation, and design.
In Years 11 and 12, Drama is offered in accordance with the government syllabus for ATAR or General, which can be found at https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/arts/drama.

The modern study of English is the study of language and how it works. ‘Story’ is the backbone of much of what we do. Stories help us understand who we are and how we fit into our world.
The English curriculum is built around the three interrelated strands of Language, Literature and Literacy. Together, the strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in speaking and listening, reading, writing and viewing. Learning in English builds on concepts, skills and processes in these areas.
In the Senior years, courses offered included Foundation, General, ATAR English and Literature. All courses, to varying degrees, focus on developing student’s analytical, creative, critical thinking and communication skills, encouraging students to critically engage with a variety of texts.

The Mathematics Department offers many appropriate levels of courses in Mathematics subjects from Year 7 to 12. It is a major priority in
Mathematics to choose the most appropriate level for each student, giving them the best opportunity to maximise their possibility for success at that level. Confidence for any student is essential for success.
Opportunity for Success
Years 7 – 10
In Years 7-10, Mathematics is compulsory and is taught at three distinct levels – Extension, Advanced, Standard, General and Boost. Each level is based on the success criteria outlined in the WA Curriculum. The Extension level is an opportunity for gifted and talented students to go deeper
into the Curriculum and the General and Boost levels exist to support students who are struggling with the Standard content and need extra help.
Every effort is made to place each student in the appropriate level after studying their previous results. As far as possible, we provide the opportunity for students to move between levels as we observe what we believe is in the best interest of the individual students.
Assessment
Assessment of student progress is done through three formats. Response tasks (tests), examinations (Yr 8 to 12) and investigative tasks. Investigative tasks encourage students to explore mathematics using the Mathematical Thinking Process or Statistical Investigative Process.
Years 11 and 12
In Years 11 and 12, there exists a wider choice of Mathematics courses of differing levels than those in Years 7-10. The courses offered in Year 11 and 12 are Mathematics Foundation, Mathematics Essential, Mathematics Applications, Mathematics Methods and Mathematics Specialist.

We can be deeply satisfied in a creative process that solves problems requiring innovation and lateral thinking.
Design is a foundational pillar to the subjects in this Faculty. Developing a sophisticated understanding of how design makes the world a better place to live in is a transformational function of the practical subjects and a life-changing event for many of our students.
The VET program at Swan Christian College encompasses three main areas:
Work Skills
Training
Resources
Humanities and Social Sciences is the study of human behaviour and interaction in social, cultural, environmental, economic and political contexts. Humanities and Social Sciences has a historical and contemporary focus, from personal to global contexts, and considers opportunities and challenges for the future.
In the Western Australian Curriculum for Year 7-10, the Humanities and Social Sciences learning area comprises four subjects: Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business, Geography, and History.
By studying Humanities and Social Sciences, students will develop the ability to question; think critically; make decisions based on evidence; devise proposals for actions; and communicate effectively.
Thinking about, reflecting on, and responding to issues requires an understanding of the key historical, geographical, political, legal, economic, business and societal factors involved, and how these different factors interrelate.
The Humanities and Social Sciences subjects provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to develop a broad understanding of the world in which we live and how people can participate as active and informed citizens in the 21st century.
In Year 11 and 12 students have the option of further specialisation in both ATAR and General Courses. The ATAR level courses offered are Accounting and Finance, Economics, Geography, Politics and Law, and Modern History. Business Management and Enterprise is offered as a General Course and students can also pursue a Certificate IV in Business.
More in depth details on the specifics of each course can be found in the subject handbook.
The Workplace Learning program is open to Year 11 and Year 12 students. This subject provides opportunities for students to demonstrate, and develop increasing competence in, the core skills for work. They learn to apply and adapt the workplace skills that are necessary to understand and carry out different types of work.
Students are able to discover their strengths, interests and talents whilst learning about employer expectations and different industries through workplace learning.
