Students

Would you like to be involved in the First Lego League 2017?

Are you into Lego? Do you enjoy robotics? Do you want to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology?

St Stephens Carramar will be hosting the FLL competition on Saturday 4 November 2017 and we are seeking volunteers to help out on the day.
FIRST is a volunteer-driven and operated event and we need your help to make this event possible. FIRST Lego League teams will be researching real-world problems then challenged to develop solutions using their robot. They must also design, build and program their robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology and compete with other teams.
Your help in judging, refereeing, scoring and crowd control is serious business but you will have an amazing day full of fun and laughter!
Competition Details:
Carramar Regional: Sat, 4 November 2017 at St Stephen’s School, Carramar Campus
Training Details:
Prior FLL experience is not necessary. You will receive one day of training towards the end of October with details being provided upon expression of interest.

2016 Carramar graduate Daniel Stynes has officially signed with Perth Glory

WA young gun completes Glory squad….

Perth Glory is delighted to announce that local WA attacker, Daniel Stynes has been signed on a professional contract to complete our first-team squad for the upcoming 2017-18 Hyundai A-League season.

The 19-year-old has come through the ranks via the club’s academy pathway and skippered our PS4 National Premier League side last season. Equally comfortable playing in a wide or central attacking role, the Tapping-based youngster is renowned for his dribbling skills and expertise at set-pieces. He was presented with his squad jersey by club owner and chairman, Tony Sage and is understandably delighted to be a part of Kenny Lowe’s senior squad.

“I’m really excited to sign my first pro-contract and my family were thrilled when they heard the news,” he said. “but I know that the hard work really starts now and I’m determined to learn as much as I can from the other lads here and be the best player I can be.”

Sage meanwhile, is thrilled to see quality WA talent flowing through the club’s academy into its Hyundai A-League squad and believes that Stynes and teammate, Joe Knowles are set to be the first of many.

“It’s fantastic to see our academy pathway that we put in place over the last couple of years now producing quality WA players such as Daniel and Joe,” he said.

“We have some other extremely talented age groups coming through at the club and will hopefully be handing many of those local players their Hyundai A-League debuts for Glory in years to come.”

Stynes will wear the number 25 jersey this season.

Senior Boys Soccer

Well done to the Carramar Senior Boys Soccer Team, who won the Champion Schools Shield Final for Western Australia on Tuesday 12 September. The game came at the end of two terms of group and knock out games, taking place with the other state finals at Dalmatinac Park in Hamilton Hill. The game saw us take on Lynwood Senior High School.  We took the lead after 3 minutes with a headed goal from a corner and then followed this up with two more goals before half time. Lynwood came out after halftime fired up and managed to pull a goal back inside the first two minutes of the second half. They then scored a second with about 15 minutes to go. However, we fought back and scored our fourth to put the game beyond reach and held them out to finish the game the winners 4 – 2. 

                                                                                                                                             

Congratulations boys!
