Month: May 2022

This event is aimed towards SSS Alumni who have continued their own art practice out of school and are producing work. We hope to give these artists a platform to showcase their work across different industries. We are also encouraging past Arts staff to participate in the exhibition.  

We hope to touch base with as many past students and staff as possible. Please contact Tessa Dorich at the school if the following interests you:

• All visual art mediums will be considered – such as painting, drawing, digital, photography, 3D/ sculpture
• Exact dates are yet to be confirmed, but it will be held early 2023
• Work due December 2022
• The event will be held at a gallery space which is TBC (central/CBD location, not on campus)
• It will be free for participating artists
• Artists will have the opportunity to sell their work

 

Master Mind Australia will be delivering Revision and Exam Preparation Programs in the July school holidays.

The programs will be held at Christ Church Grammar School and Guilford Grammar School in the first week of the holidays, and at Hale School and Ashdale Secondary College in the second week.

Please do not send your child to school if they have these symptoms. It can take several days for RAT tests to turn positive once symptoms develop. Infectious period can start in the 48 hours before symptoms develop. Please consider your

your school community.

As outlined in our Principal’s communication to families on 4 May, families should now be using normal absentee notification procedures via phone or email. More details can be found on the Portal here: https://portal.ststephens.wa.edu.au/parent-and-student/plan-the-day/absentee-info.html.

For students who may be missing assessments, including Examinations and EST’s, the Assessment Policy requires medical documentation of the reasons for absence due to illness. This is usually a medical certificate. In the case of COVID-19 it is either: your child’s message from the WA Health Department confirming registration of the positive RAT result or confirmation of the positive PCR test result, or a doctor’s letter confirming the COVID-19 diagnosis and the date of infection. Please send this to ABSENTEESDUNCRAIG@ststephens.wa.edu.au as usual.

Absentees will advise teaching staff of medical documentation provided. Students should email their teacher if they are missing any assessment because the follow up procedure depends on the circumstances. Wherever possible, teaching staff or our Examination Coordinator will reschedule missed assessments. In some cases, an alternative assessment might be provided and in a few rare cases it might not be possible to reschedule so Assessment Policy procedures will be followed and communicated to the student.

Deputy Head of Campus (Care)

The Year 7 Athlete Development program began today at Duncraig as 25 Students from Year 7 were put through a series of fitness tests run by Athletic Institute.

The Fete Committee met recently to work through the logistics of presenting a Fete in 2022. With restrictions only just being lifted, it was decided to reframe this year’s Fete into something later in the year that would give the Committee more time to put something together. The community event will now be a Christmas Market (pending City of Joondalup approvals) on Saturday, November 26 from 4-8pm. More information will be provided later in the year. For anyone happy to help out in the planning or on the day, please contact Julie Wookey on juliewookey12@gmail.com
