Dear 3 – 6 Parents
There have been a number of discussions around potential plans for what a student’s day might look like at home. While you can certainly develop your own schedule for what suits your family, we thought it might be helpful to send through one simple example that you might chose to follow.

“Supporting Your Child In a Digital World”
Considering the current climate and our School’s approach to being proactive in the care of our students and our community, we are making the prudent decision to postpone this event with the intention of rescheduling later in the year. I will be in touch with more information when we know it is safe to proceed.
Thank you

The ELC Sausage Sizzle Term 1 has been postponed.
Any money collected will be utilised in Term 2.
Thank you for your understanding.
GALA POSTPONED – NEW DATE!
To protect our community and to be able to present the St Stephen’s School Foundation’s Gala as the full spectacle that has been planned – amid the Government’s ban of indoor events over 100 people for the time being – we have had to postpone the highly-anticipated event until later in the year.
We are excited to announce the new date for the Gala on November 7 at Crown Perth. We hope you are still able to celebrate with us. It is set to be a great evening of food, drinks, entertainment and exciting announcements. See https://www.trybooking.com/BHKWP for more.
COVID-19 – A guide for parents
As this virus is the topic of so much conversation recently, we understand that it is something that your children might have questions about at home. This video was recently shared with us and we thought it might be helpful as you discuss this with your children.

For the younger children, this ‘picture book’ might also be helpful in discussions that you have.

ELC Prayer Group
There are a group of parents who meet each Tuesday to pray for the school and people in the school. If you have something you would like us to pray for, please fill in a little prayer note and put it in the prayer box located at the front office or library. These can be anonymous if you prefer.
We’d also love to invite anyone who would like to, to come along to the prayer group.
- Tuesday mornings from about 8:45-9:15 (Kindy parents welcome to join at 9am)
- ELC staff room
- Come regularly or whenever you can
- Toddlers/babies are very welcome
- Its very informal, and you don’t have to pray out loud if you don’t want to.
We will be going out for coffee after prayer group this Tuesday (3 March) so its a great time to join us.
