Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our school and our feathered friends!

Dear Families,

As the year draws to a close here at St Stephen’s School, we wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to the community for all you have done to support the school this year.

The continuous effort and commitment in supporting the students has been wonderful and has played an enormous part on the successes we have had in 2024.

As we reflect on the year, it has been great to see the number of ‘firsts’ combined with some longer standing traditions of the school. This is testimony to the continuous growth of the school while staying true to the identity that has been the pillar of so much success in the past.

As this is the last Primary blog for the year we wish each and every one of you a wonderful Christmas and a New Year filled with hope, prosperity, and blessing.

With deepest appreciation and warmest wishes,

Thank you,

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Guinness World Records 2025 Book

We understand that many families were anticipating the release of the Guinness World Records 2025 book as a keepsake for our record earlier this year. The team at Guinness World Records have informed us that due to the timing of the event and the publishing schedule, the St Stephen’s School record for “most people launching confetti cannons simultaneously” will feature in the 2026 book which will be published at the end of 2025.

In the meantime, if you would like a personal memento of the day, you are able to purchase a personalised Certificate of Participation at https://gwrstore.com/collections/certificates-of-participation?page=1

Term 4 – Notices – Week 6

Nov11

Welcome to Week 6! It’s hard to believe that we’re already so close to the end of the school year, with just 3 ½ weeks left. While the year is winding down, the energy and enthusiasm from both our students and staff remain as strong as ever, although we can certainly see some tired faces as we near the finish line.

As we move through these final weeks, we’re continuing to work closely with the students to ensure they finish the year just as strong as they began. Ms Wicks has been using her biblical studies lesson and worships to time to remind the students of the importance of kindness, reflecting on the Bible passage from Ephesians 4:32: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you.” This is such a beautiful message and a wonderful reminder to us all.

The next few weeks have lots on over both the ELC and 3-6. Please ensure that you are staying on top of the Primary and class blog.

Supporting with events, writing reports and continuing with engaging learning opportunities for the students is particularly time consuming. Can we please ask that you are mindful of your expectations with communication, and meeting requests. If you are wanting to know about your child’s progress, you will be able to see this through the SEQTA releases. There have been several released so far and more to come over the next few weeks. If there is anything specific to note or of concern, the teachers will contact you to keep you updated, before the reports are sent to you.

More importantly, we celebrate the creativity and hard work of our students. If you haven’t had the chance yet, please visit the exhibition in the Primary Village and Theatre Foyer before it closes.

This week also brings added anticipation, especially with Orientation Day on Friday. This is when students experience moving up to the next year level, offering a glimpse of what life is like in the year ahead. For most year groups, the day is fairly straightforward. However, Year 2 students will start their day in the 3-6 space before being walked back later in the morning. It promises to be an exciting day as we welcome new families and look forward to the year ahead.

Class Placement 2025

As we prepare for 2024, we would like to take the opportunity to inform you of the process we use when placing students in their classes for next year. Please note that all teachers place students after examination of several factors which include:

Social and emotional concerns
Friendship preferences
Academic ability
Staff observations

Your child’s current class teachers construct their class lists in collaboration with their partner year group teacher(s), Learning Assistants and Specialist Teachers. Where possible, the teaching staff will provide experiences for students to interact across the classes to also observe student interactions with students not currently in their class.

Once the teachers have completed their class list recommendations, they are forwarded on to the Primary Leadership Team to be reviewed.

The process of creating class lists is done carefully and over a period of time. Please be assured that every decision we make is in the best interests of your child and understand that, while we recognise the uniqueness and preferences of each student, we will not guarantee a preferred placement.

Please, can we encourage you to trust in the professionalism and dedication of our staff as they consider the many factors in placing your child in a particular class and not make requests for preferred class placements for your child.

You will be notified of your child’s teacher in January 2025 before they commence school.

Warm regards

Dear Community,

Welcome back to Term 4! We hope you had a wonderful break and are feeling refreshed for the exciting term ahead. It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final stretch of the year, but we have plenty of enriching activities, learning experiences, and special moments planned as we finish off 2024.

This term brings us many opportunities to celebrate your children’s growth and achievements. One of the highlights will be our Presentation Night, where we’ll come together to reflect on the progress and accomplishments of each child. More details will be shared in the coming weeks.

We also look forward to Orientation Day, where the children will visit their new classes for next year. This is such a valuable experience in helping them feel confident and comfortable as they prepare for the next step in their learning journey.

Reminders for the coming term:

Class Placement 2025

Social and emotional concerns
Friendship preferences
Academic ability
Staff observations

Once the teachers have completed their class list recommendations, they are forwarded on to the Primary Leadership Team to be reviewed.

You will be notified of your child’s teacher in January 2025 before they commence school.

Uniform

Can we please ask that you refresh your understanding of the uniform guide to ensure that your children come to school with the correct uniform. Towards the end of last term, we noticed some instances of girls wearing the Mary-Jane shoe (open T-bar shoes). As we approach the coming year it is important that you review the uniform guide to ensure that purchases align with the school uniform expectations.

Primary School Uniform

Dogs

Just a reminder that pets are not allowed onto school property at any time unless prior arrangements have been made with your child’s teacher. Thank you for your understanding.

Parking reminder at the ELC

We kindly ask that parents refrain from parking in front of the bins near the Pre-Primary and Kindy playground. It is dangerous to reverse from this area into incoming traffic and causes delays in the flow of traffic. Please work with us to ensure the safety of all students and visitors to the ELC.

If family members or friends are assisting with the drop-off or pick-up of your children, please make them aware of these requests from the school.

ELC before and after school play

If you choose to stay and play at the ELC after school, we kindly remind you to supervise your children at all times while on school grounds. At the ELC, we have playground expectations that include being kind to others, not running with sticks, not throwing stones or mulch, and generally maintaining and caring for our play spaces. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring these expectations are upheld during playtimes after school.

Please ensure that all families leave the premises by 3:40pm, as the OSH program uses the outside space after this time. If your children would like a longer playtime, please use the oval and playground, which have no time restrictions.

Cards that Count

St Stephens Primary School is once again taking part in United WA’s Fundraising Appeal “Cards that Count”, a school fundraising initiative that transforms student artwork into beautiful, professionally printed greeting cards, tea towels, tote bags and more. Each purchase helps support people who are at risk or experiencing homelessness.

This year, United WA has partnered with Crazy Camel to streamline the ordering process. Students have completed their art templates in class, and their designs are now available for ordering at: www.crazycamel.com.au/36686

Online ordering will be open from Tuesday 8th October – Wednesday 23rd October. Completed orders will be distributed to students by their class teachers in early November.
