Term 2 Running Club

All students in Kindy to Year 6 and their families are encouraged to join Miss Uglow on the Primary Green every Thursday morning to run as many laps around the Green as you can! 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. Running Club lapathon cards must be left with Miss Uglow at the end of each session. You will use the same running club card each week unless you have reached 100 laps… after that you will need a new one!

STEMSmart After School Imagineers Clubs at St. Stephen’s School Carramar!

“Start your child’s awesome STEM & Coding journey in Term 2 with STEMSmart’s After School Imagineers Club at St Stephen’s School Carramar.

From 3:30 pm each Thursday, students from Years 3 through 7 can join and build up a wide variety of STEM & Coding skills in 1-hour sessions! 

In this club, exclusive to St. Stephen’s School, students will be guided through a project-based learning curriculum, building fundamental skills across many different types of topics. Robotics, Coding, Engineering, and more can all be found in this club! Challenging, interactive, and lots of fun, this course helps to unlock the world of programming for young people, sparking an interest that will make them want to keep on exploring it! The only limit is your IMAGINATION!

In Term 2, students will learn how to create and program 3D models. With the power of computer-aided design at their fingertips, their only limits will be their imagination! Technology has changed the way we design and create, with new tools allowing us to engineer exciting solutions! By learning how to design, code and put together the key skills learnt this term, students will be able to create their very own models!

Parent Series – Cultivating Resilience

We invite you to attend the first lecture of our new Parent Series presented by Dr Mandie Shean – “Cultivating Resilience”.

“My experience has taught me to focus on the community around the child rather than the child. We spend so much time trying to fix the child when we really need to fix the toxic environment they are in and then I usually see them flourish.”

Dr Mandie Shean is a teacher and registered psychologist who has featured on The Project, the ABC, Channel 9, Triple J and Radio National. Dr Shean spent twenty years as a Primary School Teacher, three years as a School Psychologist and the past 10 years lecturing at Edith Cowan University whilst pursuing her research. In between, she has worked as a school chaplain and a children’s pastor. As a Consultant Psychologist, Dr Shean has been engaged by the Department of Education and Training, as well as the Catholic Education Office to implement and evaluate student programs dealing with mental health and wellness.

Dr Shean’s research has focused on increasing student wellbeing through the development of resilience and creating strong community bonds. Her lecture will provide practical tools for you to assist your child in overcoming stressful situations and challenges.
