A brand new mural at UnitingCare West‘s Merriwa service hub, painted by our Carramar Year 10 students, was unveiled today in celebration of NAIDOC Week. A project of the Year 10 Service Learning Program, the mural creation encouraged students to embody Aboriginal culturural significance in their artwork while engaging with the local community.
Our Year 10 students teamed up with Rocky Bay recently to help pack bags for Vincent’s Project for the Homeless, a local charity providing care packages to those facing homelessness. This comes after St Stephen’s School students selected Vincent’s Project as a worthy charity to receive a whopping $16,000 donation from WA Charity Direct. It’s great to see so many like-minded individuals from our community joining forces to support a good cause.
Our Year 10 students have been getting creative out and about in the community, participating in two days of Service Learning. One group of students have teamed up with Women’s Refuge in the northern suburbs to screen print t-shirts for ‘mums and bubs’. The design was created by one of the mums and was both screen printed and hand painted onto the t-shirts.
Charis House have taken modern art to the next level, recreating a famous artwork while tackling a major environmental issue – pollution. The ‘Mona Litter’ made out of recycled plastic bags, meat trays and plastic bottle caps is a result of the joint effort from students past and present. The inventive artwork will take pride of place in Charis House.

The Abydos app, developed by St Stephen’s School and Edith Cowan University, has been named a finalist in the Western Australian Information Technology and Telecommunication Awards (WAITTA) INCITE Awards for the Most Transformative Impact on Education.
The gamification app uses the theme of ancient Egypt to teach primary students about fractions, and research has shown a group of Year 6 students who used the app scored 10.5 percent higher than those who didn’t after just two sessions a week for four weeks using the app.
Abydos has been integrated into classroom teaching for Year 6 students at St Stephen’s.
The finalists were announced on Friday 15 June, with the winners to be named in later this month.
Congratulations to all involved – such a coup for our innovative School! Best of luck for the June announcement.
Congratulations to our Carramar Secondary students who produced some impressive results at last Friday’s Interschool Badminton Competition! Competing against students from Years 7 – 12 from all over Perth, Ansu Soney and Jeevna Heer (Year 9) took out first place in the girls’ category, while Ashwin Soney and Tom Van Den Bussche (Year 10) were runners-up in the boys’ category! Well done to all our students.
Last week, at none other than the Supreme Court of WA, St Stephen’s Carramar’s novice Mock Trial team scored an upset win over an experienced bunch of Year 12 lawyers-to-be. Though not quite enough to propel them into the Finals, the convincing argument and impressive display of potential from the St Stephen’s team bodes very well for next year. Well done!
