On Friday 16th March, Mr Hummerston’s Year 7 Media class took to creating their own Claymation characters by making their own play-dough. Whilst the task was incredibly messy there were some very successful playdough artists.
Look out for their final short films which are currently in production!

During the month of March, Pastor Karthik, his wife and sons and various staff members will be joining St Stephen’s for some Professional Development and a brief holiday from Bethany Home. Whilst here, Pastor Karthik and his staff would like to hold a fundraising dinner and, at the same time catch up with past and present ‘tour’ students and their parents.
They would also enjoy meeting staff from St Stephen’s School and so we cordially invite you to attend and support the evening.
Dinner will be prepared by the Bethany staff and a variety of presentations will be delivered.

Duncraig Visual Arts staff students painted and decorated their dolphin, “Finlay” and our Visual Art Technician extraordinaire, Claire Davenhall, had two dolphins, “Icebreaker” and “Inter Aqua” exhibited. Funds from the auction of these dolphins go to support Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation. The purpose of the project being to promote positive mental health and awareness in young people.
They both sold at Auction last night! The dolphins raised over $128,000 last night for Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation.
“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” – Timothy 1:7
Inspired by her own personal experience, Nikki Coleman (Duncraig Class of 2017) has proved the making of a great artist lies in the ability to convey a narrative. Nikki’s remarkable artwork ‘Penthesilea’ has earned her a place in the latest Year 12 Perspectives Art Exhibition.
As part of the Year 9 Earth and Space Science course, the students have been looking at how gravity played a significant role in the formation of the solar system and the planets within it, including the Earth.
The students simulated the curving of space time and how this causes matter to clump together and in some cases, go into orbit!

Yesterday the Year 11s were busy identifying the unknown enzyme.
All groups were able to use the scientific method to correctly identify the enzyme.
Good job everyone.

Well done to everyone for completing the Bunnings Day Training Session! Remember how to use the tools and skills you learned because they’ll come in handy when we are in South Africa.
A special ‘Thank you’ goes to Belinda and her team of professionals at the Joondalup Bunnings for hosting this very important training session. Not only did they provide you with the necessary skills and safety training you need while we’re on tour, but they also donated a lot of sports equipment for the children we will be visiting in South Africa.

The Year 9 students participated in the Calling and Departure ceremony yesterday morning, bright and early (5:30am) at Sorrento foreshore. The ceremony calls all Year 9 students to accept the challenge of growing up, reflecting on who they are, where they are going and how they will positively contribute to our World. This is obviously a life-long challenge, but yesterday could certainly mark a memory for them as a starting point for their introspection.
A HUGE thank you must go to Nicola Kirby for organising a breakfast feast for about 450 people down on the foreshore – all happily cooked by our house captains and the fabulous Phil Timms and Nicola Resta.
Please join me in congratulating our students on their ceremony AND the Rite Journey staff for their tireless support of our Year 9 students – Sue Libbis, Andrea Tinney, Nicola Kirby, Andre Bourgault, Clay Osborne and Bennet Andrews.

The Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation has decided to release free tickets for all sessions on Sunday. However, tickets need to be booked to secure places as numbers are limited. There are still free tickets available see.
We encourage all school families to come along to the Farewell Event on Sunday 19th. See all the amazing large dolphin trail sculptures and find your own school’s special mascot back in its pod. The event is a wonderful chance for families to learn more about The Big Splash WA and support child and adolescent mental health services at PMH, which so many West Australian children and families rely on in times of need.
