A group of Carramar Secondary students took part in the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-related Trauma in Youth (PARTY) Program last week, an eye-opening initiative run at Royal Perth Hospital. Students toured the hospital, walking the treatment course of a patient involved in trauma, and were informed about risk-taking behaviours and the consequences involved.
See the future of creativity at this year’s Fusion Exhibition, on display at St Stephen’s Carramar from October 24-30, with works from a range of disciplines and ages on show as students from K-12 present their artistic talents. Fusion opens in the Technology Hub on Wednesday, October 24 from 6.30pm and all are welcome to come down and celebrate. Read more here: https://bit.ly/2NKo32F

When Dr Anne Aly MP recently visited our Carramar Year 12 ATAR Politics and Law students, she promised to give them a ‘shout out’ in Parliament. We were thrilled to find out she delivered on her promise and acknowledged our School on the national stage – check it out!

Our Year 7 and 8 students displayed true St Stephen’s School teamwork when they participated in the TEAR Australia Read-a-thon throughout August and September. Together, students from Carramar and Duncraig have raised $538 for the charity. St Stephen’s was a pilot school for the program, helping provide feedback for its launch next year. Well done!
On behalf of the St Stephen’s School community we would like to thank Mrs Alison Murphy for coordinating the sale of the Entertainment Books and App through our campus each year.
This year a total of $1610.00 has been raised to assist with purchasing the Year 6 and Year 12 student ties.
Past and present students have represented St Stephen’s well through Hospitality Group Training (HGT) recently.
Duncraig alumni Zac Tholen was named WA Apprentice of the Year, taking home three gold medals and overall winner at the finals of the Australian Culinary Federation WA Apprentice of the Year Competition.
Zac’s mouth-watering menu of mushroom risotto with sweet potato crisps for entrée, pan-fried chicken breast with fried thighs served with pumpkin, celery, dried tomato and corn salad for main, and beignets with rum pastry cream, sour lemon gel, hazelnut praline and blueberry for dessert earned him the nod.
Meanwhile, Carramar Year 11 student Naomi Velterop, who is currently doing her Certificate III in Commercial Cookery through the External VET Program as a School-based Apprenticeship was involved in the HGT Showcase last weekend at the Hyatt Hotel.
The event gives young chefs the arena to showcase their skills and Naomi shone in the kitchen on the entrée team and also working with Zac on the night.
Congrats Zac and Naomi – big things ahead for you both!
