THANKSGIVING 2020

Thanksgiving at St Stephen’s School is a joyous occasion that unites our entire school community in the act of giving thanks for the multitude of blessings bestowed upon us each year.

Our unique service provides our incredible community with a window into the heart and heritage of our School. Join us ‘To Know God, and Make Him Known’ in a community worship.
In the lead up to the event, we invite all to share things you’re thankful for by posting images on social media with the hashtag #givethanks#knowgod or #worship for us to showcase on the night.

SPINNING AROUND

There’s never a dull day in our Science classes, with Mr Haywood’s Year 7s recently putting a new twist on an old fad.

Last week students learned how to build their own magnetic motor fidget spinners.

BRILLIANT BROOKE

Brooke Hurst (Carramar Year 11) continues to make great strides in the world of hockey, after being invited to train in the Western Australian Institute of Sport’s hockey programme.

She’s also been invited to a training camp in Canberra with the Australian Institute of Sport in March 2020.

It’s safe to say Carramar’s Sports Department are super proud of Brooke, who is the only player in her age group in WA to be afforded these opportunities.

ICING ON THE CAKE

After their outstanding efforts in Hospitality this year, Year 12s Naomi Velterop (Carramar) and Abigail Kemp (Duncraig) were both nominees for School Based Apprentice of the Year at the Hospitality Group Training WA Annual Awards. In fantastic news, Naomi was awarded Runner Up!

St Stephen’s Alumni Zac Tholen was also awarded the John Cox Memorial Trophy for most Outstanding Apprentice. What a way to top off 2019!

NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Carramar’s Year 10 students danced the night away at their Spring Soiree! The event is a highlight on the calendar for our Year 10s who dressed to impress at Bridgeleigh Reception Centre last week.

STRONG PARTNERSHIPS

Schools of today are tasked with not only instructing students in literacy, numeracy, resilience, social and emotional wellbeing, digital competencies and life skills, we must also “future-proof” our students. Principal Donella Beare shares her thoughts on this in her latest blog. Read it here: http://bit.ly/33K7A7D
