Year 12 students dazzled in their stunning suits and gowns recently to celebrate one of the highlights on the school calendar, the School Ball. With Carramar students gracing Frasers Kings Park and Duncraig students celebrating at the Pan Pacific Hotel, the nights full of dressing up and dancing were definitely special occasions to remember.

As part of their VET Induction Day today, Year 11 and 12 Duncraig and Carramar students were joined by past St Stephen’s School students who discussed the benefits of learning through VET. Patrick Middleton, AKA DJ Miiddy, and Miss Tara Roberts, who is now a teacher at Carramar Kindy, spoke to students about how their VET experience set them on amazing career paths.
What is VET?
VET is Vocational Education and Training.

Our Duncraig campus hosted a languages PD on Monday which involved teachers from both our Duncraig and Carramar campuses. The PD was lead by Kate Reitzenstein, the languages consultant from AISWA, and focused on deepening student engagement with languages through a range of innovative teaching methods. The PD also involved teachers from the primary and secondary schools. I’m sure our students will benefit from this excellent PD opportunity.

The inaugural trip to India has been an eye-opening experience for staff and students. After a long journey they finally made it to Woodstock School.
Students are immersing themselves in India’s rich culture on the once-in-a-lifetime India Service Tour. On day four at Woodstock, students spent the morning painting the new library at Kaplani Village School, before setting off on an Indian food safari to the town of Mussoorie.
What an amazing opportunity. Follow the students’ blog here: http://bit.ly/2jUon5K
Below are just a few of the photos from the trip so far:

Carramar was the place to be on Saturday. The Sports Centre was abuzz with anticipation and excitement as competitors arrived.
Well done to everyone.
The event even made the Weekend West.

Ms Ntoumenopoulos and Mr Lance Owen accompanied eight Year 11 students from across our campuses on the St Stephen’s Global Programs visit to Bethany Home in Malaysia. The life-changing trip saw the group live and work at Bethany Home – a school for students with various disabilities – helping with daily tasks and leaving their mark with a beautiful mural on the buildings.
“It’s a privilege to leave a part of ourselves at such a beautiful place, although the etchings Bethany Home has left on us cut far deeper and will no doubt last much longer,” Duncraig English and Drama Teacher Ms Stefani Ntoumenopoulos reflected.
