Little Doves Playgroup

Little Doves Playgroup is a fun and free way to inspire little ones’ imagination, taking them on adventures through story-time, song, arts and crafts.

St Stephen’s School Carramar’s Collinson Library will pilot a new early literacy program from Term 3. We aim to welcome young families from the local community to join us in our love of story and rhyme.

Parents, Carers and children are welcome to book their place in the Little Doves program, named after the Dove in the School’s crest. It runs as part of a six-week program.  However guests can book week-to-week to fit their schedules. We will be finishing with a lovely Teddy Bear’s Picnic in the School’s sprawling grounds.

This program is ideal for children up to three/four years-old. All families booked into this program will have access to the library’s borrowing facilities.

Sessions will be held in the Carramar Collinson Library on Thursday at 9am. They start on 15th August and run each week until 19th September.

Guests are asked to register their interest in each session via Trybooking to allow us to plan our activities accordingly. For more information go to: www.trybooking.com/BCXFK.

“A St Stephen’s School education encourages children to imagine, be curious and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of the world,” Principal, Mrs Donella Beare said.

“Little Doves Playgroup will be the perfect way to spark children’s’ inquisitive nature, learning language and communication skills in asocial setting.”

ROOKIE DEBATING

WORKS OF ART 


Carramar’s Year 11 ATAR Visual Art students recently had the pleasure of hosting Rachelle Dusting – Fine Art in class for the third time. Rachelle is a talented Western Australian oil painter who runs workshops with students, focussing on colour temperature, form and contrast. Check out their amazing work!

ETHICS OLYMPIAD


The use of online data algorithms, freedom of speech in the digital age and promoting unrealistic beauty standards to children were just some of the topics discussed by students at Perth’s first Ethics Olympiad. A group of Carramar Year 10  students were exceptional representatives for St Stephen’s School, presenting a variety of viewpoints and opinions on the day.
