Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to 2025 at St Stephen’s School! Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, we’re delighted to have you as part of our community. We’re excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and community with you and your children.

It’s been heartwarming to see the excitement and energy of our students as they stepped into school today, even if there were a few nerves. Already, they’ve begun settling in beautifully.

Thank you to those who attended the ELC information evening last week—it was wonderful to connect, share important details, and introduce you to your child’s teacher and classroom.

For families in Years 3–6, we’re looking forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s information evening, Wednesday, 29 January, starting at 6:00 pm in the theatre before heading to classrooms.

Assembly and Worship Updates
This year, Worship for Years 3–6 will take place on Mondays at 2:30 pm, while Assemblies have moved to Fridays at the same time. We’ll update the school calendar shortly with class assembly dates for both the ELC and 3-6.

Warm regards,

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones
