Junior School: Kindergarten - Year 6

The Kindergarten to Year 6 students make up the Junior School at Swan Christian College. Contained fully within the grounds of the wider school, classes for the first eight years of schooling are grouped in learning clusters with access to specialist facilities not usually available to primary aged children. With a comprehensive support network, students enjoy an opportunity to thrive and learn through a program that recognises their individual needs and learning styles.

Please feel free to make an appointment to explore the opportunities for your children at our school. With regular tours also available we would love to talk to you about the possibility of partnering with you in the education of your children.

Middle School: Year 7- Year 9

Middle schooling is an intentional approach to the teaching, learning and pastoral needs of young people. There is no single model of middle schooling. Rather it includes a broad range of ways of organising Middle School including teaching and learning, pastoral and spiritual elements. 

In broad terms, “Middle Schooling” usually refers to 10-15 year olds or a period described as early adolescence. Here at Swan our structure currently embraces a three part model of schooling: Years 10-12 Senior School, Years 7-9 Middle School and Kindergarten - Year 6 Junior School. At Swan Christian College we believe that early adolescence is a unique time of development and we aim to grow young people in knowledge and wisdom.

Head of Middle School

Senior School: Year 10 - Year 12

The Senior School at Swan Christian College encompasses Years 10, 11 and 12. Our purpose is to develop in each student the personal attributes described by the College’s Seven Pillars, namely, Knowledge, Courage, Service, Wisdom, Engagement, Leadership and Spirituality. The work of the Senior School embraces our Christian faith, and our declaration is that Christ is central to our identity with ultimate ownership and sovereignty over our school. Education programs are delivered to students by motivated and talented Christian teachers who embrace a Christian worldview.

Swan Trade Training Centre

The simple fact of life is that the ‘traditional’ school model does not necessarily suit all students.  Opened in June 2012 and operated as a trade-specific arm of Swan Christian College, Swan Trade Training Centre (STTC) provides quality trade training and career pathways in an innovative and supportive school-based environment.

The STTC offers a fixed two-year course over Years 11 and 12 allowing students to graduate from Swan Christian College with their WACE, including the successful completion of the Certificate III Business and Certificate II Pre-apprenticeship in their chosen trade course inclusive of work experience. Courses are developed with industry input that ensures the training offered is current and relevant.

Swan Trade Training Centre aims to produce confident, well-rounded students who become ‘top class’ apprentices equipped with industry grade skills and professionalism, and pride themselves on a job well done.

From the Principal

Once again Swan Christian College is celebrating the academic success of its students and I would like to congratulate our Year 12 graduates on their academic achievements and excellent conduct throughout the 2019 school year.

As a leading coeducational school in Perth’s eastern suburbs, the College is delighted by the achievements of our Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) students and those who gained nationally recognised qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Some of the individual successes included College Dux Jolyon Joyce achieving an ATAR of 99, Pearce Brezmen who achieved an ATAR of 96.5 and Charlize Blicharski who achieved an ATAR of 96.35.

Nine graduates were inducted into the Excelsior Club having achieved a minimum ATAR of 90. Four students received a Certificate of Distinction which requires students to achieve A grades across their courses and/or certificates, a testament to their commitment to their studies. In addition, 12 students received a Certificate of Merit which requires students to achieve an average of B+ grades across all courses and certificates.

Congratulations must also go to our Vocational Education and Training (VET) and General students who successfully completed so many Certificates II and III. Seven of our VET students were welcomed into the Excelsior Club this year having successfully completed three or more certificate courses.

We acknowledge and thank the teachers who delivered four High Performing Courses in 2019. This is an excellent achievement and the result of much hard work by both teachers and students.

Once again Swan Christian College’s WACE achievement was higher than the state average at 95.8% compared to the state average of 91.8%. The College’s graduates received a total of 200 AQF qualifications with many students achieving multiple qualifications.
