Library Lifeline

With the increased reliance on devices, it is more important than ever for us to offer charging amenities for our students. Devices like laptops, iPads and phones have become important educational tools that facilitate a productive learning environment. As the popularity of such devices continues to grow, keeping a device charged can be an issue. A dead battery limits student productivity.

The Library has installed a Charging Station with a multitude of different chargers.  Charging stations are fixed units that feature separate locking compartments where a student can leave their device to charge safely.

ANU Tuckwell Scholarship – News for Current Year 12 Students

Year 8 & 9 Girls AFL Dockers Cup

 

Thursday 7 September,  20 girls from Year 8 & 9 competed in the West Perth District Dockers Cup for girls.  For the majority of the girls, this was the first time that they have played in any structured AFL competition.  Playing in Division B, the girls easily accounted for their rivals in the early rounds before facing some strong opposition from Mater Dei in the final round.  With a late goal, the girls were able to escape with a narrow win and go through to the round robin phase undefeated.  The grand final would see the girls play a rematch against Mater Dei and the game was similar to the earlier game.  Kicking with the breeze first, the girls were unable to take their chances but with a goal just before half time they had a narrow lead at the half time break.  Both sides were evenly matched in the first half,  but our girls eventually gained a two goal advantage into the breeze and were able to hold on until the final siren.  Although there was a minor mix up at the presentations the girls were able to collect the Free Dockers Shield as undefeated champions. Brooke Hurst received the award for best St Stephens player over the day, although all of the girls contributed to the wonderful result.

Congratulations and well done girls!

Another Win for Senior Boys Soccer

Our senior boys soccer team have won again! This is an amazing achievement, with around 100 schools from across the state competing.

Coach, Jonathon Langley said…..

“We’re through to the quarter finals of the state competition – we’re in the top 8 teams in the state! 
 It was an exciting and even game and after extra time it finished up 1-1. This took the game to a penalty shoot out. All 11 players for both teams had taken a penalty before we could find a winner and it was Harry Dickson who managed to score the winning penalty. Will Parkes was also a hero as he was brilliant in goal during the penalties, pulling off some great saves.”
The boys were absolutely bouncing at the end of the game – as they deserved to be. ”    

The boys are hoping to get more spectators along to cheer them on in the next game. Their opponents are yet to be confirmed.
