What could be more Australian than heading down to Bunnings for a sausage in a bun! The South Africa Service Tour group will be manning the BBQs at Joondalup Bunnings on Australia Day to raise funds for their upcoming tour so pop by, grab a bun and say Hi!
Maybe it’s time for a new pair of shoes? The Tour group are also holding a ‘Boot Drive’ – collecting pre-loved boots and sneakers to donate to the children of South Africa. If you’re ready to part with your old kicks, keep an eye out for collection details to come.
Finally, Year 10 student Emma Cooke has put together a special night of live music, activities and family fun to raise funds for homeless people and orphaned children in South Africa on February 9. Tickets are $10. Call Lisa on 0437 282 212 or email lisa32@bigpond.com for more info.
A group of our 2019 Year 12s and staff recently returned from just under two weeks on the St Stephen’s Global Cambodia tour where they worked with RAW Impact to build a new home for a local family of eight in need. The trip included lots of hard work, tree-planting, a sleep out, some interesting characters, heart-warming stories, visits to NGOs and historic places.

As part of our languages program, Duncraig will welcome a group of French exchange students on campus this February, giving our students and their visitors the chance to practise their language skills first-hand.
Due to the popularity of the program, there are still a few French students needing accommodation with host families. If you might be interested in welcoming one of the exchange students into your home between February 10 and 23, please contact Head of English & Languages Mr Howie Jakeway at howie.jakeway@ststephens.w

Science Teacher & Assistant Dean of Timae
There was a flurry of excitement yesterday as Year 8 and 9 Science students proudly displayed research projects they have been working on for much of the year. It was science communication at its best as parents and friends listened intently while the students explained their chosen research subjects and findings, with topics ranging from Plants under Radiation and electro magnetics to wash and wear makeup and looking beyond the brands.
Each Y8 group chose their own area of science to investigate and presented last night to the St Stephen’s community. They did a fantastic job and Miss Ross was very proud of the work they produced and their ability to communicate their findings!

Mr Biddle, Miss Ross and the ATAR Biology students of Duncraig were down in Bussleton exploring the biodiversity and sampling ecosystems. We explored the underwater jetty, NgIligi cave, two different beaches and bush land. The students had a blast and have come out more aware of how significant WA is in terms of our native culture.
