Dear Families,
It’s lovely to return to the rhythm of school days and also good to no longer wear face masks at school! As some restrictions are now eased, should your child’s class be in attendance at worship or assembly you are more than welcome to come too. It was lovely to see Year 3 and 5 parents join us at this morning’s worship. This week in Primary School, the Year 6 students start their surfing lessons from Tuesday 16 February to Friday 19 February. On Wednesday 17 February, the youngest students in our school have their Pre-Kindy Photos day at ELC. Please also keep an eye on your child’s class blog for information about the next worship or assembly they will be attending.
As we start the year, this is a gentle reminder regarding the speed at which you travel through the campus. Please ensure that you adhere to the speed limits in the school. It is also important to park in designated areas. This helps with the flow of traffic but also provides our children with safe areas for them to embark and disembark from vehicles. We kindly ask you not to park in the kiss and drive areas as this significantly impacts other car users and our students. If you need to walk your child into the school, you must park in a designated parking bay rather than using the kiss and drive.
We recently have had a few students being dropped off very early at both the Primary School and ELC. Please be aware that staff attend meetings and devotions. We do not have staff on duty before 8.10am at 3-6, and 8.15am at the ELC. If you need out of school hour care, O.S.H service is available. We want to ensure that students are safe at all times.
New PK – Year 6 parents: Just a reminder to update your details on Consent2Go. This is important for medication, excursions and photograph consent, etc. Please click on Parent Portal link https://portal.ststephens.wa.edu.au/parent-and-student/ and then click on ‘Update your details’.
For existing parents please ensure that you have updated any changes you might need to make on your child’s consent to go. It is very important that this information is correct.
Thank you to the families who have participated in the box construction project. We have seen some fantastic creative designs. Well done!
We hope you have a fantastic week and look forward to seeing you around the school.
God Bless
Hannah Lockwood-Jones and Jarrod Heglund.
Dear Parents,
Throughout this year, we understand that we may be needing to utilise Microsoft Teams for part of our teaching and learning. If you, or your child, have not downloaded it yet, could you please follow these“Instructions” and login using your child/children’s school username and password. If you could assist us by doing this, that would be greatly appreciated as a proactive step towards future use.
Kind regards,
Jenny Mallis

St Stephen’s Primary – World’s Greatest Shave 2021
There are many worthwhile causes to support throughout the year and this is one that I would like to draw attention to. In 2014, my then three year old daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia. Thanks to a privileged medical system and God’s mercy, my daughter is now fit and well. She is in her fifth year since treatment finished and her recovery has been very positive.
Throughout that treatment period and even beyond, the support for families dealing with blood cancers has been amazing. Fundraising initiatives like the Greatest Shave helped our family through a difficult time of our lives. We are extremely grateful to all of the selfless people who have generously given to this cause.
To further the cause, I would like to support the World’s Greatest Shave at St Stephen’s School. For those interested in supporting this fundraising effort, these are the details…
- Our Greatest Shave Day will be held on Thursday 1 April(last day of term 1)
- Participating on the day can be done in the following ways
a. Register online with parent permission (parents please email me at daniel.parker@ststephens.w.aedu.au to express consent), fundraise and then have hair shaved or cut (you must be registered and have sent in parental permission and fundraised to do the shave or cut)
b. Don’t register online, but still colour your hair at home or wear a wig and then bring a donation on the day
- Students/staff/parents can support by giving online or registering as a participant at the link below
*Under the green box saying “sponsor our team”, in little text it says “or sign up and join our team” – click on that to join.
I am fully aware that there are many worthwhile causes to support, so please do not feel any obligation to give to this fundraising, but of course we welcome it if you are willing and able.
