Last week, St Stephens played against Irene McCormack. On Tuesday, St Stephens dominated the Volleyball and Touch Rugby but were unlucky in both Basketball games. On Wednesday, both Cricket teams had convincing wins, with the 7s & 8s winning 50-35 and the 9s & 10s winning 39-7. In the Basketball, the Year 8 boys and Year 9 girls were victorious. The 8 and 9 girls also won their Touch Rugby game. Congratulations to all teams and good luck against Peter Moyes this week.
Finally just a reminder to make sure you sign up to Winter CAS for term 2.

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) occurs on the third Friday in March each year. The NDA is an opportunity for students, teachers, parents and the whole community to take a stand together against bullying and violence. This annual day provides a focus for schools who want to say, ‘Bullying. No Way!’ and to strengthen their everyday messages that bullying and violence at school are not okay at any time.
St Stephen’s School Duncraig is a registered NDA school.
On Friday, our School and House Captains will wear ribbons to recognising our commitment to assisting students in recognising and responding to bullying.

At St Stephen’s Schools, we recognise the importance of each individual student’s personal development. The Rite Journey is a unique educational program designed to support the development of self-aware, responsible, respectful and resilient adults. The year-long program is taught to our Year 9 students where students engage in conversations about who they really are and what type of adult they want to be. The Rite Journey gives students an opportunity to reflect, discuss and develop strategies about their transition to adulthood through conversation, debates, challenges, self-reflection, journal keeping, and service to others.

Take a look as our Duncraig Year 11 and 12 Marine and Maritime Studies students go scuba diving! The students made it all the way through their diving course and are now qualified open water scuba divers. Awesome!

Today had David Reid who is a paramedic and lecturer at ECU visit our lesson. We talked about the respiratory and circulatory system and got to use his ECG machine to measure our heart rate, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. Students talked to David about his fascinating career as a paramedic and learnt so much from his experiences.
I had lots of fun too as David has a great sense of humour.

An exciting round of games this week against LJBC saw 8 wins across the board. The senior volleyballers stood strong taking out both the male and female games in straight sets 2-0. The senior girls touch team had a close match narrowly loosing 4-5 but the junior girls were racing through with a 6-2 victory. This week a special mention to the year 7/8 cricket team who smashed LJBC 138 runs to 27 and to the year 8 girls basketball team who won 20 to 5.
This week we are taking on Irene McCormack and wish all our teams the best.
