Last week Tom Anderson was presented with his finals ribbons for 200m breaststroke 5th and 100m breaststroke 6th.

WA Swimmers were not allowed to travel to Queensland due to border restrictions, so an identical meet was held in Perth and results were integrated into the National Competition.

As we are moving into winter a reminder of our assessment protocols should your child be unwell.

The Year 7-12 Secondary Assessment Policy requires that a medical certificate is obtained in the event that a student is unwell and misses an in-class assessment or the submission of an assignment. In the current climate, it is acceptable for this medical certificate to be obtained from either a chemist/pharmacist or doctor. Please provide the medical certificate to Absentees: ABSENTEESDUNCRAIG@ststephens.wa.edu.au. A written assignment can still be submitted on the due date by emailing it to the class teacher, or uploading it to SEQTA if this option has been provided. Also it is possible to arrange with the class teacher for your child to come into Student Services and sit an assessment, then go home.

In regard to Year 11 and 12 students, the flexibility of being able to obtain a medical certificate from a chemist/pharmacist could change at some time in the future depending on School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) requirements for senior secondary courses, and we will keep you updated. Please also note the external WACE examinations at the end of Year 12 require a SCSA Sickness and Misadventure Application which necessitates a medical certificate from a doctor. These requirements are discussed with students in Education Plus.

Please do not hesitate to ask your class teacher if you have any questions at all.

There are only a few weeks left in Term 2, but there is still time to enrol in TEE’s UWA Exam Preparation Program. Held in the July School holidays, TEE’s Exam preparation program is an invaluable exercise for Year 12 ATAR cohorts from right across this great state of ours.

• The program represents incredible value for money at only $180 for 10 hours of expert instruction.
• Students will be mentored by highly experienced ATAR teachers with insights into the examiners expectations to really help attendees maximise their ATAR score.
• Students will study at UWA in the lecturettes and lecture theatres to provide real world, first-hand experience of University life.
• Regional students can also board with us at Trinity Residential College for a subsidised, first-hand look at the reality of boarding for most country kids.

They will continue to accept enrolments for the 2021 program but places at Trinity College are filling up fast.

Enrolment Form

Despite some sickness sweeping through the team, we came 6^th overall out of 76 Schools, our highest place finish for a very long time!

Nic Holmes (Year 12) came home with an individual Bronze (350 approx in his race).

Full report and photos will be in the newsletter shortly.
