THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Duke of Edinburgh Inaugural Camp

Last week 30 students from Yr 9 ventured down to Dwellingup to participate in the inaugural Duke of Edinburgh camp.  Students got the opportunity to put in to practice the skills they had been learning in Outdoor Education classes this semester.  They got to cook their own meals using small fuel stokes, setting up tents and camping over night on the School’s Nanga property in between spending two days hiking on the Bibbulmun Track.  Whilst we all got  little wet through the night the weather during the day was perfect to enjoy the beauty of the Dwellingup jarrah forest.

Year 9 Junior Boys AFL


With the last round of the qualifying stages being played this Thursday the Junior Boys Football team have had some mixed results.  We started off our first round game with a great come from behind win against Joseph Banks only to lose the next four games at home.  Facing Wanneroo Secondary College’s second side, the team was looking for a stronger performance after a poor showing against Irene McCormack the week before.  The first minute set the tone of the game with a strong forward entry and a couple of near misses before finally scoring a goal.  The remainder of the game was a one way street with the final score of 10.14 – 74 to 0 a reflection of our dominance across the ground.

This week sees our last game on Thursday against Butler away.  Many thanks to all of the parents who have come down and supported the boys through out the competition.

STEM Club

The primary STEM Club meets every Tuesday afternoon in the secondary campus Science Makerspace. Using only 10 jube-jubes and 20 toothpicks, Year 5 and 6 STEM enthusiasts built a prototype platform designed to support a book. After initial testing, students modified their prototype and we tested them again! Success was sweet!

Year 7 service to the community

Carramar Year 7’s had the opportunity to further support the work of the Salvation Army this week, with three groups of students volunteering to collect money as part of the Red Shield Appeal at Balcatta Bunnings.

Each group spent one and half hours in store, and collectively achieved over $650 over the three days!

The school is proud that this has come about from students own desire to support the Salvation Army, and builds upon the education and awareness work the year group has been doing in partnership with the Salvation Army this year.

Winter Appeal – all years

St Stephen’s School, Carramar campus, will once again be running our Winter Appeal to collect food items for Uniting Care West (UCW). There are over 9,600 people experiencing homelessness every night in WA, and another 7,000 people living in insecure housing, one step away from homelessness. This would more than fill the Perth Arena every night.

UCW are asking for a variety of canned items such as  fruit, vegetable and fish, dried foods including pasta, rice, fruit and nuts as well as cereals, tea, coffee and long life milk.  Every small donation helps.

Last year was a huge success with over 50 large boxes filled with food donated to UCW.

 Food donations can be taken to homeroom or left at Secondary Administration. For any queries please contact Angela Gordon on 9306 7147.
