Best of luck for the Semis!
Two outstanding storybooks written and illustrated by Carramar students have won awards at the Make Your Own Storybook Competition, held by the Children’s Book Council of Australia. Congratulations to Sofia Wakeling (Year 3) and Serian Lockwood-Jones (Year 8) who both placed second in their respective divisions!
Over the holidays, a group of Year 10 and 11 students seized the opportunity to conduct service learning on a global scale as they travelled on the 2019 Indonesian Service Tour. Volunteering at the Bali Life Foundation, Suwung School and Kuta Womens Centre students were able to connect with the locals while learning about Indonesia’s rich culture. We have no doubt our students have created memories that will last a lifetime.
Rounding off a successful semester, our debating students brought their A-game to the stage in the Rookie Debating Grand Final last term. In a cross-campus battle, Duncraig were victorious while Carramar’s Luke Shirdon took out the Best Speaker award. Congratulations on an awesome debating season!

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.
