On 4 September sixteen students attended a Year 7 Mathematics Challenge Day at Joseph Banks Secondary College. Students competed in teams of four against 26 teams from six other schools and St Stephen’s School did very well. One of our teams took overall first place with 344 points and another coming in fifth with 197 points. Congratulations to all participants, especially to the winning team (below) consisting of Bridie Le Cornu, Alex Baker, Serian Lockwood-Jones and Shailin Mandalia.
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.
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!).
Transitioning into Secondary School can be a bit daunting for students and parents as their children move into the next stage of their schooling. We have a few events coming up for parents of Year 7 students to come and chat and see how they are adapting in class.
Carramar Year 7 parents can see the teaching and learning first-hand as they tour several Year 7 classrooms followed by afternoon tea, an open discussion and Q&A. This is on Wednesday, 21 March at 1.30pm. To reserve a spot, go to www.trybooking.com/TZIA.
