The College of St Basil the Great is the name of the SCA group at the University of Western Australia in Perth, Australia. The College is part of the Barony of Aneala in the Kingdom of Lochac. It was started in A.S. XXXVI (2001) and currently has about 30 members. Within the University it is sometimes called the UWASCA or the UWA Medieval Society.

The current seneschal is Sivaroobini Kalaimani (Roobi), however due to extended absence Jacques currently holds the position.

Their battle cry is "Boom Boom", a pun on Basil Brush, a fox of impeccable humour. There are also references to crossed cannons (for the same fox), a broken tower (referring to Faulty Towers) and the motto "discere, vel mori" which translates to "Learn or Die".
