Bush Chapel Blessing

Carramar’s Bush Chapel is a new sacred space on our campus which invites our community to gather, reflect and connect. Students, staff, members of executive and School Council and members of the Uniting Church gathered to celebrate the Blessing of the Cross  morning, welcoming God to the holy space.

On behalf of the St Stephen’s School community we would like to thank Mrs Alison Murphy for coordinating the sale of the Entertainment Books and App through our campus each year.

This year a total of $1610.00 has been raised to assist with purchasing the Year 6 and Year 12 student ties.

 

Online Study Skills

Our school has recently subscribed to the Enhanced Learning Educational Services Study Skills Handbook. This is a great online resource for parents and students to address their study skills and associated issues and concerns as well as learn new ways to improve students’ results at school. The handbook has a huge amount of information for both students and parents as well as lots of interactive activities, multimedia experiences and useful resources.

To access the handbook, go to www.studyskillshandbook.com.au and login as a subscriber with these details:

One Last Adventure

Carramar Year 12 students took part in their last ever school excursion this week, bouncing, climbing and flying at Latitude Perth. Students had heaps of fun in an afternoon complete with trampolines, ropes courses and climbing walls. It was surely a memorable occasion for the group as they celebrate their final weeks as school students!

Rugby Feat

Carramar Year 12 student Max Wood kept quiet about his selection in the U18s Australian Schools Rugby Union Championships earlier this year, representing WA in the competition in Sydney a few months ago. We just found out and wanted to share the great news with the community!

The team played extremely well and came home with battle scars to prove it, with Max breaking his nose during the tournament. What a feat!
