Try a Trade

Try a Trade is a 3 day course designed to give students a practical idea of different trades. The pictures below show students from the Duncraig and Carramar Campus participating in plastering, tiling and bricklaying. The boys were enjoying their first day and were so enthusiastic, the lecturer had to slow them down.

  

  

  

Transitioning from Childhood to Adolescence Workshop: What to Expect

Puberty brings lots of changes for your child – and for you as a parent too! Your child is transitioning from child to adult – and you may feel uncertain or have questions about how best to support them through the physical, psychological and emotional changes this brings. This evening workshop will equip parents with information about brain development in the “tween years”, what physical, psychological and other changes to expect and accept, more about puberty and mental health, parenting strategies on how you can support your child, and how you can partner with the school to ease the transition to high school.

Best suited for parents of children in Years 5, 6 and 7. No registration is required.

FREE EVENT

Date: Thursday 21 June
Time: 6.45 – 7.45pm
Location: Primary Forum – Carramar Campus
Presented by Mrs Tracy Fleming, Dr Liezl Addinall and Madame Isabelle Pilote

Service Good for the Soul


To showcase our volunteer opportunities and optimise engagement with the wider community, St Stephen’s School is launching an official St Stephen’s Volunteers website:

http://volunteer.ststephens.wa.edu.au/.

This new site will be the hub for all volunteering opportunities, news and events.

Uniting to Fight Hunger

 Each fortnight, St Stephen’s School students and staff take two trips into the city to volunteer for the UnitingCare West Food Rescue. After our volunteers collect food from participating cafes around the city, it is distributed to feed members of six UnitingCare West Services such as Tranby Centre each night. Aligning with the School’s motto to ‘Serve God, Serve One Another’, our whole School community are on the roster for the Food Rescue runs, with Principal Mrs Donella Beare recently teaming up with Service Learning Coordinator Donna Lund to gather the goods. UnitingCare West Food Rescue feeds around 11,500 people experiencing homelessness each week.
