An after-school club with a difference!

St Stephen’s School is excited to announce we will be running a pilot program with leading STEM Education partner Fire Tech Australia for an after-school club in Term 1 at both our Carramar and Duncraig campuses.

Available to students from Years 5-7, they will have the first chance to explore the world of 3D modelling and robotics to create real world solutions in the St Stephen’s Imagineers Club.

All equipment is provided – students just need to use the power of imagination, creativity and innovation! Experienced tutors will guide students through activities that will engage engineering principles before their prototype is modelled, designed and printed in 3D and then brought to life using Robotics kits. 

The Club will run every Thursday from Week 3 in Term 1 (February 18) from 3.30-4.30pm.

It will be in the Study Lounge in the Library at Carramar and in the Glenda Parkin Building at Duncraig.

The Club will cost $210 for seven weeks of learning and care, with only 25 spots available at each campus so get in quick!

We will then spilt into two pathway-focused groups: Parents of Year 11 and 12 VET/Certificate students (in the Community Room), and parents of Year 12 Direct Entry students (in Cousins Hall). Each group will be presented with targeted information relating to strategies for successful results in their specific pathway. This will include Work Experience dates, how to manage workloads, and pathways to tertiary education for VET/Certificate students. Parents of Direct Entry students will hear about important dates, exam literacy, applications to University, and how the ATAR is calculated plus there will be a chance to ask questions. Presenters will include our Deputy Head of Teaching and Learning, Careers Advisor, VET Coordinator and VET Liaison Officer.

Details: Monday 15 February from 6.30-7.30pm, commencing in Cousins Hall.
