Some of our students have shown interest in the below industries;
Tiling, Plumbing, Property Valuation, Media, Electrical, Kitchen/Bathroom Renovations and more.

On Friday night, Carramar Secondary students represented St Stephen’s School at Have Sum Fun, an Interschool Maths Competition. Students had to work as a team to problem solve and answer as many questions as they could in a certain time limit. While the teams didn’t come away with the win, it’s safe to say they certainly had fun and learned a lot too!
