The Rite Journey

March 7, 2019

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.

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.

END OF AN ERA FOR SPORTING SISTERS

October 10, 2018
 2018 has marked another massive year for the Edwards sisters Rachael (Year 12) and Crystal (Year 9), who have continued to make exceptional strides in swimming, cross-country and triathlon competitions across the nation. Though the sisters will no longer be navigating school sport as a pair following Rachael’s recent graduation, it hasn’t stopped their outstanding sporting results from rolling through.

NAPLAN Results

September 17, 2018

Year 7 and 9 NAPLAN individual reports and the explanatory brochure will be given to students in Homeroom on Wednesday 19 September. While the test represents a single snapshot on a specific day, it does provide useful information about both the group of students and about individual students.

The explanatory brochure is useful and further information can be accessed here: http://www.nap.edu.au/docs/default-source/default-document-library/naplan-2018-information-brochure-for-parents-and-carers.pdf?sfvrsn=2. This brochure provides background information about the Individual Student Reports: https://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/home/assessment/testing/naplan/parents/results-reporting.

It is important for students to achieve specific levels in Year 9 NAPLAN if they are to avoid having to sit the Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) required for Year 12 WACE Graduation. Information on these requirements is regularly presented at Information Evenings and in Education Plus classes, and can also be found here: https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/assessment/olna/students-parents-carers.
