As part of their transition into Year 3, Year 2s visited the Primary School this week, guided by some very helpful Year 9 students. After a play in the playground, students took part in French and Music lessons to become familiar with their surroundings before the move next year.
Good afternoon,
With the wet weather setting in, we have noticed more parents driving their children to and from school. The increased number of people on the roads can result in some traffic standstills in the turning circle and we just wanted to remind parents to be mindful of the staggered School finishing times for Primary and Secondary, who both use the turning circle, and how to aid the flow of traffic on and outside our campus.
We thank you for your understanding and know that we ask this to minimise the time you spend in the traffic, to ensure the safety of students and also to prevent any parking fines for those stuck in traffic on the surrounding streets.
Thank you for your support.

Although the evening temperature dropped below zero, the sun was shining and smiles were all around as more than 200 people enjoyed the inaugural Community Campout at The Kaadadjan Centre over the weekend. Families enjoyed quality time playing games, using the sports equipment, cooking damper over the fire, making their own Aboriginal-inspired artwork and mining for choc chips with Alcoa. There were lots of laughs around the campfires and the children enjoyed an outdoor movie under the stars. What a wonderful time!
The Kaadadjan Centre will soon open for private bookings for our families, staff and alumni. Keep and eye out for more information.
What a wonderful few weeks we’ve had watching Carramar and Duncraig Primary’s performances of the Wizard of Oz. Congratulations to everyone who helped bring the magical production to life and thank you to all those who joined the audience to support our students!
These Year 11 Students thought of a novel way to fund raise for their Cambodia trip next year by helping out at the Primary School Father’s Day BBQ.
A big thank you to Joy Ford and Primary School team who gave the students the opportunity.

The end of term three saw the participation of the Year 8 students at the Year 5 Market Day. Students in Year 8 were studying the idea of sustainability which tied in perfectly with the Year 5 Market Day. There was even a little time for Year 8 students to reminisce about their time in the Primary School Playground. The purpose of this day was to sell goods that had been recycled from existing products. The creativity of the Year 5 students was extortionary and we look forward to seeing their products next year.
A whooping $1014 was raised.

23 schools competed at Mawson Park in Hillarys last Friday in the NIPSSA Cross-Country Carnival. The standard of competition is always very high and to be successful at this event requires a great deal of commitment and dedication.
St Stephen’s School was well-represented with Year 5 and 6 students from both Carramar and Duncraig competing in the event! Students showed off their dribbling and shooting skills, participating in the round robin tournament against other independent schools.
Well done!
