World Religions
May 18, 2018
Year 11 students have been learning about World Religions. Recently, they were blessed with a visit from Mrs Tripdidas of Calcutta, India who spoke about Hinduism. Mrs Tripdidas was raised by the Loretto Sisters (Irish Catholic Nuns) in the Convent and was taught Geography by Mother Theresa herself! She went on to teach Political Science and English. She gave a fascinating talk on Hinduism for our students.

Memorable Visit
May 17, 2018
If you were a Duncraig student in the late 1990s you might remember the smiley face and friendly nature of our Indonesian Exchange student Satriyo Adhi, who recently dropped by the School for a visit while on holiday in Perth.
Mr Adhi spent a year as a St Stephen’s student 18 years ago, living with a local host family as an exchange student from 1999 to 2000.
“I felt very welcome, not only from the school teachers but all the people here and all the students – different ages and different Houses,” the proud Alethean said.
