Dear Parents,
As we move into Week 4, I just wanted to encourage you to come along to our worship times that we have in 3-6 (Monday mornings) and at the ELC (fortnightly on Friday mornings). These are a great time to hear the uplifting messages that Mr Steven brings, as we focus on what the Bible says on how we can all lead lives that serve God and serve one another.
We have a few events coming up this week:
- Tue-Fri is Year 5 surfing lessons. The weather looks glorious!
- ‘The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe’ cross-campus drama production. Running from 24-27 Feb. Tickets from https://events.humanitix.com/tlww
- Worship at the ELC. 8:45am.
Thank you all for a wonderful start to the year.

Mobile Phone Post at Primary School – Y3 to Y6
Dear Parents & Guardians,
At the start of the year, I just wanted to send a quick reminder that Primary Students are not permitted to have their phone on their person during school hours, i.e. from the time they arrive at school until the end of the school day. If students must bring a mobile phone to school, then during school hours, the phone must remain in the student’s school bag, securely closed.
For students with smart watches, these need to be on airplane mode during the day. Exceptions are allowed for students who have approval from the Head of Campus to use a phone to monitor health conditions.
If students need to contact their parents/carers, they can do so through the Primary Office. Likewise, if parents/carers need to get a message to their children, they can call the Primary Office directly.
In addition, it is recommended that parents consider insurance for all personal items such as phones, because the school cannot reimburse the cost of damaged, lost or stolen items.
If you have any enquiries, please contact me.
Kind regards
Jarrod Heglund

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.
