WA Day Public Holiday

A reminder that school will be closed next Monday, 3 June as it is a public holiday.

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.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Enrolling Siblings

This is a gentle reminder that if you have an older child at the school and would like their siblings to attend as well, please remember to enrol them as soon as possible. We currently have waiting lists across many of our year levels.

Warm regards,

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones

Before and After School Playground Use

Parents and Carers are responsible for the supervision and care of their children when using playground equipment before and after school hours. This policy follows several instances where children have been injured while using the playground outside of school hours at both the Early Learning Centre (ELC) and for students at 3-6.

ELC: Students should not be left unaccompanied at any time before classroom doors open at 8:35am due to their young age. They must be supervised by their parent or another adult.
3-6: Students should not be dropped off at school before 8:10am.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure the safety and well-being of all students. Thank you for your support.

 

Consent to Go:

Please ensure that your contact details are up to date in case we need to reach you during the school day. Additionally, remind your children to practice good hygiene by washing their hands regularly and staying home if they feel unwell. If your child has any medication conditions or needs, please ensure that this information is update on Consent to Go for the school to access.

Warm regards ,

Hannah Lockwood-Jones & Andrew Johnston

Cross country summary
Co Curricular Clubs commence this week – ELC Clubs are full, some space left for 3-6 club

 

Dear Community,

We hope this newsletter finds you well as we dive into the fourth week of Term 2. It has been an eventful time at our school, filled with exciting activities and accomplishments from our students.

 

Cross Country Success:

We are thrilled to announce the success of our recent Cross Country events, which saw enthusiastic participation from students across Years 3 to 6 and our younger students at the Early Learning Centre. It was wonderful to witness the determination and sportsmanship displayed by all participants. Congratulations to every student who took part, and a special mention to those who helped organise and run these events.

 

Mother’s and Special People Day Celebrations:

As Mother’s Day approaches, we are eagerly preparing to celebrate and honour the incredible mothers and important people in our students’ lives. At our school, we recognise that in a family there are many special people who play significant roles in our students’ lives. Whether it’s grandparents, aunts, uncles, or family friends, we want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of all these special individuals.

 

Co curricular clubs

We are excited to kick off the Co-Curricular Activities this week!  These activities are a wonderful opportunity for students to learn new things, develop positive social skills and enjoy being a part of the broader St Stephen’s School community.

 

Following last week’s issues with the booking system, a thorough review is being conducted with some adjustments being made ready for Term 3. Places have now been allocated for Term 2, based on the time of your first booking.  Notifications regarding club placements have been sent out via email, confirming your child’s enrolment or placement on the waitlist.

 

All confirmed Club bookings are for the full 6-week duration, and we encourage consistent attendance to maximise the benefit for all participants. Your child’s active involvement will greatly contribute to the success of the club.

 

We still have a few spots available in the following clubs for Primary students (Years 3-6). If you haven’t already received confirmation for a Club, please click here to make a booking: Bookwhen

 

Hockey (Years 3-6)
Wellbeing (Years 3-6)
