The end of Term is fast approaching but we still have two fun packed weeks of learning (and swimming for ELC students).
The 3’s and 4’s have now completed their swimming lessons. A huge congratulations to all the students on their organisation skills over the last few weeks. They really worked hard to ensure that they had all their items and changed quickly ready for their return to school. Thank you to the parents that helped with bus travel to and from the pool. Your support and help is greatly appreciated.
This week it is the younger students turn to head to the pool. There is lots of excitement not only about the swimming lessons but also about the bus journey to and from the pool.
We understand mornings are a busy time for families however please ensure you are signing your child/ren in at our administration areas if you are running late. It is a requirement that students who arrive late are signed in by a parent/guardian, students are unable to sign themselves in.
Please be aware of the following things that are happening at ELC and 3-6 this week.

Dear Parents,
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: TERM 3, 2022
We are excited to continue the extra-curricular activities at the beginning of Term 3. Parents will utilise the online booking system, Bookwhen.
We commence the activities for Term 3 in Week 2, on Monday 1 August 2022. These will run for 6 weeks, finishing in Week 7, ending Friday 9 September 2022.
Your child/children from PP to Year 6, are welcome to participate in an extra curriculum activity at their respective ELC or 3 – 6 campus. It is important that children understand that they must commit to the activity for the whole 6 weeks. Please click on the following link https://bookwhen.com/ststephensschool_duncraig to book. Places are limited for each activity so please only enrol in one activity and allocation is on a ‘first in’ basis, please do not enrol your child in the same club as term 2 to give other students the opportunity to do so.
Parents are required to register using an email address and password then each student can be registered in preparation for enrolment. Please ensure that all areas are completed.
Activities will be open on Bookwhen for student enrolments on Wednesday 22 June at 4pm.
When enrolments open on 22 June, registration is required before you can enrol your child in an activity.
We look forward to a term full of activity and fun.
If you require any further information, please contact the ELC or Primary Office.
Kind regards.

ELC Piano Lessons 2022
Dear Parents,
Please be advised that piano lessons (offered to Year 1 and 2 only) in the ELC are fully booking with a significant waiting list.
We have therefore made the decision to close applications for ELC Piano for the rest of 2022.
New applications for 2023 will be taken in Term 4 and those students already on the waiting list will be placed first before new applications are processed.
Thank you for your understanding. If you would like a recommendation for an external piano tutor instead, please contact the Music Department on musicadmin@ststephens.wa.edu.au
