Dear Parents/Guardians
As per our Principal’s welcome email last week, St Stephen’s School is celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary this year. As part of our festivities to commemorate this milestone, staff and students from Year 1 to Year 12 will be attempting to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for ‘the most people launching confetti cannons simultaneously’ on Thursday 8 February. Our students from all campuses will form a human 40 on the oval before launching their safe, environmentally friendly and biodegradable confetti.
As Carramar Campus Year 1 to Year 12 students will be heading off to our Duncraig Campus by bus, this event is considered an excursion and therefore requires all parents to approve for their child to participate via Consent2Go. Can we please ask that you give permission for your child to participate no later than Friday 2 February (via Consent2Go).
Many thanks
The Primary Leadership Team

No matter what your ability is, come on down to earn House points, improve your fitness, build your confidence and run your way towards a healthier lifestyle.
Each participating individual will be given their own Running Club lapathon card to count their laps every week. Runners will earn 1 Running Club House Point for every lap they complete around the Primary Green.
We will meet on the Primary Green every THURSDAY morning from 8.00am – 8.25am. Come dressed in your sport uniform or normal school uniform and running shoes. You can still participate even if you are not dressed in your sport uniform! Everyone is welcome – you do not need to sign up to participate in this club. Run at your own pace and come and go as you please. Parents/guardians and younger siblings are encouraged to join in too.
