Challenge for a Cause

Our Year 7 and 8 students decided to stay a little longer at School last Friday, camping out overnight for the World Vision Backpack Challenge. The challenge encouraged students to walk in the shoes of people experiencing conflict who are forced to flee their homes with only what they can carry on their back.

2018 Athletics Carnival

We couldn’t have been luckier with the weather at for the Secondary School House Athletics Carnival! With the sun shining and House pride on full display, our students gave it their best on the track and field while cheering on their mates.

Candid Conversation


Now well and truly immersed in Term 3, Carramar students are feeling inspired about their HASS studies after a recent visit from Dr Anne Aly MP, Federal Member for Cowan. Dr Aly met with Year 9 students who are beginning their Civics & Citizenship course, then visited the Year 12 ATAR Politics & Law class to discuss her experiences in Federal Parliament. Not only that, Dr Aly also spoke candidly with the Year 12 students about their hopes after high school and provided some words of wisdom as they prepare to move onto the next chapter of their lives. Thank you for visiting!

   

Clever Construction

Drawing on their teamwork and mathematical problem solving skills, Carramar’s Mathematics Enrichment students took on a challenge to build a giant six-level geodesic dome. Students are investigating the properties of geodesic shapes and how and why these shapes are used in building and construction. Take a look at how they went!

Students on a Mission

St Stephen’s School Carramar Home Economics students put the old adage of learning with purpose into practice last term, drawing on their sewing skills to help those less fortunate.
Spurred on by the words of Mission Australia WA Chaplain Scott Vawser, who took time to speak to the students about the impact of drugs, alcohol and homelessness on Perth’s youth, the Year 11 and 12 students created care packages for Mission Australia’s Drug and Alcohol Youth Service (DAYS), which provides a comprehensive range of treatment and support services to youth battling drug and alcohol issues.
