St Stephen’s students have dominated on the national mathematics stage recently! Thomas McIntyre, Benjamin Lyon and Ethan Abraham achieved in the top 10% in Australia while Kari Whitelock, Brianna Aldersea and Remy Rowse achieved in the top 20% in Australia in the Australasian Problem Solving Mathematical Olympiads. Well done!
Below are photos taken at the first home game for this season against Irene McCormack CC. Yesterday’s win by ‘The Saints’ takes us to 2 wins for the season, with our only loss in game one against a strong outfit from Prendiville CC.
The boys have been training at lunchtimes under the watchful eyes of year 12 coaches Paul Forgan (TIM) and Matthew Chadwick, (CAR). Their mentorship and organisation has been outstanding. Our umpires have been amazing as well, with Ben Ryan (year 10 ALE), Thomas Chamoun, (Year 10 CAR), and Oliver Dijkstra, (Year 10 TIM), all officiating with professionalism and care.
In Wednesday’s game, St Stephen’s finished on 3/102, with Mason Neale, (C), Harvey Kemp, (year 9 TIM) , (year 9 TIM), carrying their bats after retiring on over 30 runs. IMCC finished the day on 5/95.
There is a great spirit amongst the team in which our focus has been fairness, participation and respect for the opposition.

Ms Ntoumenopoulos lead her Year 10 class into battle today, a Battle of the Sexes and we are not talking Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs. Oh no, this was fiercer, it was boys against girls.
After a pep talk they hit the basketball courts, followed by a stint on the oval and finally the creme-de-la-creme hair braiding, Jenga, and a general knowledge quiz back in the classroom.
Jenga has never been played with so much rivalry and tension.
Everyone was a winner!

Both the Weekend West and The Sunday Times featured St Stephen’s School and the FIRST LEGO League which took place at the Carramar Sports and Leisure Centre last weekend.
Hundreds of people watched 24 teams take on the FIRST LEGO League at the weekend. Some of the teams travelled from as far as Mount Magnet and Dongara to take part in what was a fantastic community event presented by Curtin University.

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.

At the ACC Athletics C Division we were placed an agonising 2nd Place by 6 points! It was a fantastic achievement and reflected all the hard work and effort by all students. The Highlights were the Junior Boys taking out the 1st Place trophy in their age group whilst the Junior Girls were runners up by 1 point!!We have built solid foundations and a culture to hopefully build upon this success for next year.

Year 9 student Zac Grosser raised more than $2300 for the Heart Foundation when he ran the 12km City to Surf last month.
The race was Zac’s first ever long distance race and he did it with his uncle who has had a heart condition.
Zac raised the money as part of his EBA project for Rite Journey.
We salute you Zac!
