Shipwreck Museum

Year 11 and 12 ATAR Marine and Maritime Studies students visited the WA Shipwreck Museum to learn more about ancient spice trading, Dutch explorers and the incredibly story of the Batavia. Standing next to artefacts form the wrecks that are almost 400 years old was quite memorable experience for them, highlighting the importance of the conservation techniques they have been learning in class.

Science Cafe at UWA

Yesterday saw a group of Year 10 students attend UWA for the annual Science Café experience. Students were able to meet current academics, undergraduate students and students from other schools to have a unique opportunity to speak with professionals and students from a whole variety of science backgrounds and to gain practical knowledge about future careers in Science.

Students were able to hear from experts in fields that interested them and to also network with academics and other students and see first hand where studies in Science can lead St Stephen’s students, as St Stephen’s alumni were part of the organising group and it was a real treat to catch up and hear about their journey so far.
