To mark Harmony Day 2018 Yr 10 students attended the 2018 Harmony Week Debate at Subiaco Arts Centre. The topic was “Is cultural diversity a threat to the Australian way of life.”
The moderated debate featured students from WA’s five universities and the Youth Affairs Council of WA (YACWA).

During the month of March, Pastor Karthik, his wife and sons and various staff members will be joining St Stephen’s for some Professional Development and a brief holiday from Bethany Home. Whilst here, Pastor Karthik and his staff would like to hold a fundraising dinner and, at the same time catch up with past and present ‘tour’ students and their parents.
They would also enjoy meeting staff from St Stephen’s School and so we cordially invite you to attend and support the evening.
Dinner will be prepared by the Bethany staff and a variety of presentations will be delivered.

Transitioning into Secondary School can be a bit daunting for students and parents as their children move into the next stage of their schooling. We have an event coming up for parents of Year 7s to come and chat and see how they’re adapting in class.
This Friday (March 16) Duncraig Secondary will hold their first Coffee and Conversation for 2018 where Year 7 Coordinator Suzy Mettam will discuss the transition into Secondary in the Community Room from 8.30-9.30am. Attendance is free. Contact the School for more information.
Yesterday Visual Art teacher Verity Palmer and Art Technician Claire Davenhall took the Year 9 Visual Art students to Sculpture by the Sea at Cottesloe.
Two artists were on hand to talk to the students, Rima Zabaneh and Andrea Vinkovic.
This is the 14th Annual Cottesloe Exhibition of Sculptures by the Sea.
Sculpture by the Sea was established in 2005 and is the world’s largest FREE to the public sculpture exhibition, having generally over 70 sculptures designed by artists from all over the world. The exhibition is featured from the sea wall, all the way along the sand towards North Cottesloe and on the grassed areas around the beach, and this creates a unique sculpture park.
Well worth a visit!

Hello and welcome to our French exchange students who arrived on campus today! The students will be hosted by Year 12s and their families for the next two weeks.
Year 6 ‘Champion de Francais’ students also enjoyed meeting our exchange students, getting the opportunity to converse in French together.
We hope our exchange students enjoy being a part of the St Stephen’s School community!
Chicago! A city of jazz and gangsters, prohibition and poverty! ‘The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui’ by Bertolt Brecht is a parable about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 30s, set in a curious pastiche of the gangster genre. This play is in many ways a warning from history – why do we continue to allow corrupt evil leaders to gain control over our communities? Come and see our talented year 11 and 12 Duncraig Drama students in this theatrical exuberant performance of this original Brechtian play.
Please Note* This Production contains simulated violence.

Duncraig has well and truly made its mark in The Big Splash WA, a public art initiative aimed at raising awareness of child and adolescent mental health. Art Tech Claire Davenhall has two dolphins featuring in the exhibition; ‘InterAqua Dolphin’ can be found at Stirling Gardens on St George’s Terrace, while ‘IceBreaker Dolphin’ is currently outside His Majesty’s Theatre. Meanwhile, Year 12 Visual Art students and their teacher Verity Palmer created the dolphin Finlay, aiming to spread the message ‘how to be a good friend when riding those waves of emotions.’ Ms Davenhall’s dolphins are on display until Wednesday, 4 March, while you can meet Finlay with 44 other school dolphins on Saturday, 17 March.
