Dear Year 11 Students, Parents and Guardians

Last night we had a fantastic evening aboard the MV James Stirling for the annual Year 11 River Cruise. Students and staff came dressed to the theme of TV Shows and Movies and there were some amazing ensembles. Most notably: Jethro Mack the Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Seb Oats as The Joker and the incredibly well-attired Star Wars cast. There was also Total Drama Island, the Power Puff Girls, Mario and Luigi, the Mumma Mia Trio, Pirates of the Caribbean and Marty from Back to the Future.

The crew of the MV James Stirling wish to pass on their sincere appreciation to our students for their outstanding behaviour both throughout the cruise and especially at the end of the evening when our students cleaned up their own tables. They also commented on how impressed they were with the costumes and the way our students interacted with one another. The community spirit of St Stephen’s School, the way we care for one another, was shining brightly last night. You were excellent ambassadors for our school.

Thank you to Dr Criddle, Mr Gaby, Mr Knight, Mr Jakeway, Miss Ross, Miss Ntoumenopoulos and Mr Herewini for supervising. Special thank you to Mrs Aldous for being our Chief Photographer and Mrs Kirby for being our Medic for the evening. Thank you also to Tara Eshragi, Georgia La Motte, Emma Hutson and your band of helpers for coming early to decorate the decks

Congratulations, Year 11s on an awesome evening!
