Year 7 and Year 10 immunisations will be held on Wednesday 23 March. All year 7 and 10 students are to wear sport uniform on this day (even if you aren’t being immunised). It is important that all students have a good breakfast and a drink of water before you come to school.

//It’s affirmative, our debate teams are ready to state their case in the Western Australian Debating League! Our first novice team consisting of Mackenzie Varcoe, Scarlet Windsor, Ruby Callaghan and Lily Porter took home the win against Iona’s team last night in the very first debate for the term. Cool, calm and collected; these girls spoke with confidence and worked as a cohesive team. Our other debating teams are busy preparing for their turn, assembling their arguments and refining their rebuttals!

//Can you help the Mowamjum Aboriginal Community make hill trolleys??
We are seeking donations of old bike helmets, knee and elbow pads to assist the students in Mowamjum community to experience the thrill of hill trolleys.
No hills in Mowamjum!!
It doesn’t matter, they have that covered, all they need is the resources.
Please donate if you have any of the above items at home and you are no longer using them.
Donations can be given to your child’s teacher for collection.
//As you are aware Government COVID Regulations require that parents do not come on campus at present. We are pleased to be able to hold Student-Parent-Teacher Interviews for Year 12 students in an online platform, and these will be held as planned on Monday 14 March, commencing at 4:00pm. This is an opportunity for you to discuss your child’s progress with their teachers. Interviews are 10 minutes long and there will be sessions from: 4:00pm – 8:00pm. We encourage students to be present with you to participate in the interview.
The interviews will be held online using your child’s Microsoft Teams account. At the time of your booked interviews, you need to have logged into the Teams Application using your child’s login details (we recommend that you use the App, and not the web based interface). You will be called by each teacher via Teams at your nominated interview time. Please enable both the video and microphone functions in the Teams ‘Calls’ tab. Please be aware that teachers will need to keep the interview strictly to the time allocated so that they can call the next family, and will be using their device clock which is centrally synced.
When booking, please check your child’s timetable in SEQTA for the subjects taught by each available teacher. To book your interview time please go to: Parent Portal
Then:
Your username and password for the bookings is the same as you use for applications accessible through the portal i.e. SEQTA. If you have forgotten your username or password, please submit a ticket at: ICT Help
You will notice that some staff have an additional time slot available during the week; this is for teachers with a large number of Year 12 students. Year 12 students will be attending school during the week, so instead of calling your child’s Teams account for one of these mid-week meetings, the teacher will call the mobile phone of the parent who is listed first in SEQTA and hold a phone interview.
Please note that bookings will close on 13 March at 4pm. If you are unable to book a time slot with a teacher, please contact the teacher via email.
Thank you for your support as we navigate through the challenges of this year together as a community.

Dear Parents and Guardians
A big part of St Stephen’s School’s holistic education is about preparing our students for the world beyond School. Whether it be via an academic pathway or vocational route, we work closely with each student to understand their interests and strengths and guide them toward success.
Last year we reached out to our parent community asking for support with our Career Expo, Career Conversations and Work Experience and many of you volunteered your time and expertise, which was fantastic. I would like to extend the same invitation again this year. Would you be willing to be involved any of the following:
Specific details are included below. If you would like to volunteer to be involved in any of the above, or would like to chat about any further opportunities for our students, please get in touch with our Careers Adviser, Sarah Cooke at sarah.cooke@ststephens.wa.edu.au. We would love to hear from you.
Regards
Dr Darnelle Pretorius
Head of Campus
