OUT OF THIS WORLD

Three of our students will blast off to the USA this October after being accepted into the exclusive Space Camp experience. Duncraig Head of Science Mr Charles Biddle will accompany Carramar Year 9 Aaron Popich and Duncraig Year 9 students Natasha Anderson and Ben Flanagan on what is sure to be an exciting opportunity!

BIBLICAL EXPEDITION

Year 11 Carramar and Duncraig Biblical Studies students visited various places of worship recently to learn about the beliefs and values of different faiths and how important understanding and acceptance are in a peaceful world.

A FAIR ARGUMENT 


St Stephen’s Carramar’s Mock Trials team are having an historic run, getting further in the competition than any of our school teams have before. They beat number one seed La Salle College recently to advance to the semi-final against Kingsway Christian College on September 17. Alumni Coach Mr Ashley Roberts, of Law Firm Gilbert + Tobin and HASS HOLA Mr Joshua Plummer are extremely proud of the group, which includes Sophie Mitchell, Riana Shah, Tahlia Beckitt, Claire Graham, Vishu Parmr, Sophie Dickson and Matthew Smith. Best of luck for the Semis!

CAMBODIAN INSIGHTS


Students selected for next year’s Cambodia Service Tour recently met with Ms Beale, who has previously attended the tour, at Carramar. She shared personal insights and language tips to help the group prepare for their trip and learn more about the history and culture to ensure a much deeper experience.

YOUNG AUTHORS 


Two outstanding storybooks written and illustrated by Carramar students have won awards at the Make Your Own Storybook Competition, held by the Children’s Book Council of Australia. Congratulations to Sofia Wakeling (Year 3) and Serian Lockwood-Jones (Year 8) who both placed second in their respective divisions!

VALUABLE VISIT


Over the holidays, a group of Year 10 and 11 students seized the opportunity to conduct service learning on a global scale as they travelled on the 2019 Indonesian Service Tour. Volunteering at the Bali Life Foundation, Suwung School and Kuta Womens Centre students were able to connect with the locals while learning about Indonesia’s rich culture. We have no doubt our students have created memories that will last a lifetime.
