BON VOYAGE

July 5, 2019

As we look towards the school holidays, we bid farewell to two tour groups taking the world by storm! The Indonesian Service Tour leaves to host cultural lessons, teach English and take part in activities with students and families from the Bali Life Foundation’s school for underprivileged kids.

Meanwhile, the International Music Tour sees a cross-campus group of Secondary students travel to Beijing, China for the Tutti World Youth Music Festival. Students will take part in rehearsals, masterclasses, concerts, sightseeing and will even perform on the Great Wall of China!

SEEING DOUBLE

July 5, 2019

You would be forgiven for mistaking our two new staff members for each other – two adorable black Labrador reading dogs.

While they look the same and have the same job at each campus, the coincidence is even more exciting when you find out these black Labradors are both named Tucker and became reading dogs at St Stephen’s School this year within months of each other!

Read more about our reading dog program held at both Carramar and Duncraig in the Joondalup Times.

VET REPRESENT

July 1, 2019

Out VET students continue to make a positive impact in industry with students selected to represent VET courses to prospective students at a recent information evening at Aranmore Catholic College.
