Young Leaders

March 24, 2018

Kicking off a new initiative student leaders from the ELC, Primary and Secondary schools came together for the inaugural Student Leadership Forum yesterday. Whether they are in their early years at St Stephen’s or beginning their graduating year, students were able to share and discuss their opinions and hear personal insights on what it means to be a leader. The Forum wouldn’t be complete without a delicious lunch of course, which was cooked and served by the Year 11 Hospitality students.

Rats Ahoy!

This afternoon the Y11 ATAR Biology class investigated all the systems by rat dissection! Students could fully investigate all systems by identifying all the parts and discussing their functions. They even made a time lapse to show the full procedure! Pretty cool!
