Our CAS Sport stars had a jam-packed lineup of grand finals last week, with the Year 9 Boys Basketball team taking out the top spot in their match! The Junior Girls Touch Rugby and the Year 9 and Senior Girls Basketball teams may not have come away with the win, but they put up a stellar fight in some very close-scoring matches. These results place St Stephen’s in third place overall in Summer CAS, which is a great start to the year.
Super effort and teamwork everyone!
I would like to thank Anna Pargeter, our CAS sport organiser, for her efforts and hard work in regard to Inter-School Sport. We have more teams and more sports represented than ever before. I would also like to commend the swimming team and the staff who coached them. We came third in A Division – and when results across all divisions (A through to I) were combined – we came 3rd out of 80 schools and were only 7 points off second place! Well done to all students, parents and teachers for their support.
Next term the winter CAS season starts. While we are not entering a Year 7 AFL team (we have never managed to sustain a Year 7 team in the past) we are entering a Junior and a Senior Team as always and Year 7 boys can still attend School trials for the Junior Boys AFL team (Years 7,8,9). A Year 7 Boys Football team has been entered into the North Metro Cup (Dockers Shield), which takes place on Tuesday 12th June in Week 7 of Term 2.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our families a blessed Easter and a safe holiday in a few weeks’ time. Our annual Thanksgiving Service, to which our entire community is invited, takes place in the last week of Term. Please previous correspondence regarding booking a place for your family.

Our CAS Duncraig Juniors took on Peter Moyes Anglican Community School (PMA) this week, with a mixed bag of results and a great display of sportsmanship overall.
The Junior Boys hosted PMA at home, winning three of the four games. The Year 8/9 Boys Tennis won 3/1, Year 9 Boys Basketball took the game 39-29 and The Saints Year 8/9 Boys Cricket smashed out a score of 10/231 over PMA’s 10/194. Year 8 Boys Basketball worked well as a team but were pipped by PMA 54-22.
Our Junior Girls played at PMA. The Year 8/9 Girls Tennis team also won 3-1, the Girls Year 8 Basketball came out on top with 29-22 and the Year 9s slam dunked with 45-8. Junior Touch played hard but just missed out.
Good luck next week to all our CAS sportspeople against St Mark’s as we approach the finals!
