Each resource list is headed by a caveat that states that books may be accessed from other sources if you wish.

We encourage students to use stationery supplies from previous years, if in suitable condition. Some stationery supplies will need to be replaced during the year.

Market Day

Years 5 – 6

Dear Parents

Due to the overwhelming response we have had from students wanting to take part in the Market Day on 24 October, we have decided to split the event  over two dates.  Students who have completed their forms and paid their table fee to Mrs Ford will be allocated as follows:

Years 5 & 6 will sell their items on Thursday 31 October from 1.10pm – 1.40pm in the Primary Quad.

A reminder that stall holders must bring in a small float.  Funds raised on the day must go home with one of the students from their table.   Parents are then to donate this amount to the chosen charity.

Due to the volume of forms already received, no further forms will be accepted.

Personal Assistant to Deputy Head of Primary (Years 3-6)

 

35 Years Celebration

Please register if you will be coming along so the planning team can make sure there are enough activities/food trucks to cater.

 

Yrs 3 – 6  Worship Gathering – Parents welcome

All parents are welcome to attend Worship Gatherings every Monday morning from 8.45am in the Primary Village. These gatherings include singing, object lessons, drama, games and focus on God’s plan of Salvation as taught from the Bible. If you are interested in how the Bible is taught at SSS come along and enjoy these presentations which are led by our Primary Captains.

 

Shoe Style Guide

 

We have had very few offers of parent help at this stage for both discos. If your child is attending and you are able to help out, please contact Carolyn on 0410 157 156 or carolyn@dataorigins.com ASAP.  Without parental support, the discos cannot go ahead and we need to know we have sufficient numbers of helpers before Thursday.   Thanks for your understanding.

 

WE NEED YOU

Dear owners of businesses or shops,

The First LEGO League is looking for a couple of volunteers, who are willing to help us test our design for the competition. All you need to do, is go around your shop or office in a wheelchair to raise awareness for the difficulties that people in wheelchairs face each day. It doesn’t seem to hard, right? Well we can help you see for yourself! We can be the solution to your problems. But how do you sign up? All you need to do, is send Mrs Brown an email.

Her email is: amanda.brown@ststephens.wa.edu.au

We hope to see you there!

Kind regards,

The LEGO League team

 

LITTLE FEET 2019

We had so much fun at yesterday’s Little Feet Festival! Thank you to our staff and community members who volunteered to help out. We hope everyone enjoyed the St Stephen’s School activity station!

Please ensure on the night that you arrive at Carramar in time to get the students into the Centre and seated by 6.20pm at the latest. We will start promptly at 6.45pm and should conclude by 8pm.
