Last week’s SCEA Association meeting held at Swan Christian College (SCC) allowed long-time supporters and representatives of Parent Committees across SCEA’s seven schools to give thanks for God’s provision during the 2024 year.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Graeme Cross outlined the activities taking place at each school and gave a sneak peek into the new priorities that will form the basis of the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan – Unity, Reach and Capacity.

After a presentation on the three strategic priorities of unity, capacity, and reach, Dr Cross handed it over to Mrs Caroline Blake, who provided an update on behalf of the Board Recruitment Committee (BRC).
The night started with a devotion from Dr Darnelle Pretorius about the ‘Lighthouse’ outreach program in the secondary years at SCC, and worship from Mr Deitrich and Mrs Friend. Some wonderful conversation and fine cuisine was ably prepared by the Hospitality team of Swan Christian College (SCC).
