St Stephen’s Global will be launching the 2020 Lou Morrison Kimberley Tour for current Year 8s and 9s in the next few weeks. This is an extraordinary opportunity for our students to spend time with indigenous students in our partner schools – Yiyili and Purnululu Aboriginal Schools in the East Kimberley. Students will learn about Australian indigenous culture in rarely-accessed traditional lands. The group will also have the opportunity to experience some of the amazing beauty of the rugged Kimberley region as they travel from Broome to Kununurra. The tour will run in July 2020.

Parents and students will be invited at attend Information Evenings at both campuses in late October and expressions of interest will close soon after.

Carramar Year 12s enjoyed a special day at Latitude in Joondalup, letting their hair down and having fun with friends as they wrap up their last year of school together.

From the 27^th of August to the 3d of September 2019, 2260 schools were involved globally in diverse languages in this World Competition..

St Stephen’s Carramar ranked 11^th out of 115 schools in WA with 304 users.

A score of 40,237 points in French language was achieved thanks to the combined efforts from the Primary and Secondary students.

Whilst improving their knowledge of French language they made our school amongst the top schools for French language in WA!

Mastering the art of making crêpes and madeleines

In week 8 on Carramar campus, Year 9 students in French – Isabelle Chatterton, James Buchanan and Travis Sirmans – perfected their technique of cooking crêpes and experienced the art of making madeleines in this hands-on French class dedicated to gastronomy. Reading the recipe in French languages and measuring the ingredients in grams or millimetres, not cups was part of the immersion. Eventually, we all enjoyed the delicious  French sweet treats which were shared with Mrs Rachael Holt who welcomed us again in the home economics facilities.

Carramar Year 8 Deacon Paice continues to make his mark on the Motocross world. He has been competing in the Junior State Championships, which include a series of six events held at different tracks. He has finished second in the State overall and has moved up a class to take on kids up to 16 years old. Deacon will also be competing and representing WA at the Australian National Titles in Adelaide this month.
