Here the Year 11 students are about to put their snorkelling and dive science theory into practise. They had a great time exploring the amazing underwater world at Mettam’s Pool.

Year 8 Earth Science Incursion
February 21, 2019Recently the Year 8 Science students have been learning about rocks and the rock cycle. As part of these studies, we had a visit from Earth Science Western Australia (ESWA) on Wednesday the 20th of February. The students took part in some hands-on activities and learned about how we identify rocks and why they are important. ESWA’s visit to our school was made possible by funding from their supporters and we would like to thank them for this opportunity for our students.

SOFT SKILLS HOLD KEY
February 6, 2019Did you spot St Stephen’s School in The West Australian’s Choosing a School liftout today? Mrs Beare discusses how we harness ‘soft skills’ such as critical thinking, creativity, resilience and versatility to prepare our students for the world beyond the school walls.
“We can’t predict the jobs of the future but we can prepare students for the changing world.”
