No hat, no play

There have been a number of students without hats, which is causing some challenge for recess, lunch and P.E sessions. We have been able to support some, by loaning them a hat, however, some of these hats have not been returned and we have had times when there are more students without hats than spares. Can you please ensure your children come to school each day with a hat. Any students without a hat will not be able to go outside during recess and lunch, or take part in P.E.

 

Warm regards,

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Dear Families,

We are already into Week 3, and it’s wonderful to see our school community settling into the rhythm of the term! From our littlest learners in the ELC to our Year 6 leaders, there’s a great sense of energy and enthusiasm around the school.

This week brings some exciting moments for our students: ELC Pre-Kindergarten photos are happening on Wednesday, 12 February, along with catch-up photos. A great chance to capture those big smiles! Our Year 2 students will dive into hands-on learning with the Science Alive Incursion on Thursday, 13 February—we can’t wait to see their curiosity in action. Year 3-6 students will have their catch-up photo day on Wednesday, 12 February, so be sure to check uniforms and practice those picture-perfect grins. And finally, we wrap up the week with our House Captains Assembly on Friday, 14 February, at 2:20pm—a special moment to celebrate student leadership and school spirit. There are a few notices below to take note of upcoming dates for the term ahead too.

We look forward to another fantastic week and appreciate the ongoing support from our school families. See you around the school!

Year Coordinators 

We are excited to invite parents and carers to nominate themselves for the role of Year Coordinator for 2025! This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in fostering a strong sense of community within your child’s year group and support key school initiatives.

The title of “Year Coordinator” replaces the multi-used names of “Social Coordinator” and “Parent Rep”.  We are looking for 2-3 parents or carers per cohort to take on this important role. Year Coordinators will be responsible for organising volunteers for school events, maintaining communication within the year group, and supporting school and parent led events, including the Primary School Disco and this year’s inaugural “Community Movie Night on the Green.”

If you’re passionate about helping create a positive school community, we’d love to hear from you! Please complete the “Expression of Interest” form, which will be reviewed by the leadership team. Coordinators will be selected based on the needs of the cohort.

Nominate yourself today and help shape a welcoming, connected environment for all our students and families in 2025!

Applications close 4pm, Tuesday 11 February 2025.

It’s been heartwarming to see the excitement and energy of our students as they stepped into school today, even if there were a few nerves. Already, they’ve begun settling in beautifully.

Thank you to those who attended the ELC information evening last week—it was wonderful to connect, share important details, and introduce you to your child’s teacher and classroom.

For families in Years 3–6, we’re looking forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s information evening, Wednesday, 29 January, starting at 6:00 pm in the theatre before heading to classrooms.

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

Term 4 – Notices – Week 6

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.

As we enter the second half of the term, we know you are all aware that this is a very busy time for our teachers as they are preparing for the end of year. 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.
