Generous Donations

December 15, 2017

A huge thank you to all the families in our community who donated to UnitingCare West’s Christmas Appeal. As a community, we collected enough non-perishable food items to fill four twelve-seater buses! The St Stephen’s community continues to impress each year, digging deep to provide food to families experiencing financial hardship this Christmas.

 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble….” – Psalm 46:1-3

Caught on Camera

December 14, 2017

English HOLA, Howie Jakeway, has been making the most of the first few days of the school holidays by watching Perth Scorchers v England Lions in a T20 trial for the new stadium.

“Epic stadium- the light show at the interval was unlike anything I’ve ever seen at a sporting venue. That place is going to be legendary. Took lots of pictures but not really allowed to post them until the official opening next month.”

Artists of Perth

December 14, 2017

Art technician Claire Davenhall has been featured in the new ‘Artists of Perth’ book recently released by Premium Publishers. The Book, by Gabi Mills and Lisa Shearon, profiles more than 60 artists and galleries from around Perth, capturing creators in the studio, at home and revealing their inspiration. So nice to see a familiar face celebrated!

Special Presentation

December 11, 2017

Perth Wildcats Captain and WA Charity Direct ambassador Damian Martin recently visited St Stephen’s for a special presentation. WA Charity direct donated $25,000 worth of donations to local charities in need as part of a pilot program with St Stephen’s. This gave a group of Carramar and Duncraig students the opportunity to research and develop their philanthropic skills while choosing which charities to donate to.

“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in.” – Matthew 25:35

Fishy Tales from the Sea

December 7, 2017

The St Stephens SCUBA Students were amazing, conditions at Rotto were perfect, a massive pod of dolphins swam around the boat for most of the day and a massive Port Jackson shark chilling in a cave was a highlight. It was a really great day and a fantastic end to the Open Water Course.
