Congratulations to our Carramar Secondary students who produced some impressive results at last Friday’s Interschool Badminton Competition! Competing against students from Years 7 – 12 from all over Perth, Ansu Soney and Jeevna Heer (Year 9) took out first place in the girls’ category, while Ashwin Soney and Tom Van Den Bussche (Year 10) were runners-up in the boys’ category! Well done to all our students.
Last week, at none other than the Supreme Court of WA, St Stephen’s Carramar’s novice Mock Trial team scored an upset win over an experienced bunch of Year 12 lawyers-to-be. Though not quite enough to propel them into the Finals, the convincing argument and impressive display of potential from the St Stephen’s team bodes very well for next year. Well done!
Sophie Dickson (Y10), Vishu Parmer (Y11), Sophie Mitchell (Y10), Alex Cordell (Y12), Matthew Smith (Y11), Claire Graham (Y10), Jess Cruickshank (Y10), Sheida Sabeti (Y11), Marcus Ferguson (Y12)
The Theatre was buzzing last Wednesday as Year 6 students from Carramar and Duncraig headed into their Rookie Debating Grand Final. The teams debated whether ‘Space travel is a waste of time and money’ with both sides presenting well-rounded and convincing arguments. In the end, it was Carramar’s rookie debaters who took out the top spot – by just one point!
Well done to all our Debating students.
Carramar students, with help from teachers Mrs Renchia Clark and Mrs Beth McCoy, hosted a morning tea for special guests from Rocky Bay recently. The fun-filled morning wouldn’t be complete without bingo and board games, of course!
Carramar’s Year 7 students braved the rain this week to do their bit for the environment. Teaming up with the City of Wanneroo, our students have been planting trees throughout local parks, aiming to give back to the community and contribute to local sustainability.
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.
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.

As part of their Science studies, Carramar’s Year 7 students were fortunate enough to learn firsthand about water sustainability from an Education Officer at the Water Corporation. Inspiring students to use less water, the presentation focussed on where we use water most in our households, and how much water Perth uses in a day (that’s 1GL – enough to fill the WACA to the top of the lights!).
Our Carramar athletes put on a stellar performance at last week’s ACC Cross Country Carnival, placing 25th out of 75 schools! Congratulations to Aleesha Bailey and Madison Breeze who placed 18th and 22nd respectively in the Under 13 Girls, and Jeevna Heer who placed 17th in the Under 15 girls.
Duncraig’s Remy Rowse and Rachael Edwards have also just been announced as ACC Cross Country All-Stars for their awesome efforts. Well done everyone!
The Carramar campus was buzzing last Friday as Primary and Secondary students celebrated Arts Day with some creative fun in the sun. Among the face painting, games and chalk drawings, the cast of Grease the Musical donned their costumes and performed some famous tunes!
