Year 10 performers hit the stage for a phenomenal show of skill, creativity and artistry at the annual Music and Drama, Dance (MaDD) event. Students captivated their audience as they performed a diverse showcase from the three disciplines, culminating in a finale uniting all of the students on stage before their final bows.

Year 10 mentors gave Year 7s a taste of life in Year 8-12 Houses recently with a special session exploring, playing games, hunting for treasure and more! Students across both year groups had heaps of fun getting to know one another and Year 10s can’t wait for Year 7s to join them in the Houses next year.

St Stephen’s School has been named among the nation’s top schools in The Educator magazine’s annual Innovative Schools list. The School was recognised for its unique take on regional enrolments with the Home Away From Home (HAFH) program, launched in August. The HAFH program offers a fresh take on conventional school boarding arrangements, placing students from regional WA in a local family environment.

On Remembrance Day we remember all those whose lives have been affected by conflict since World War 1, and those who have died in particular. 11 November 2020 marks one hundred and two years since the signing of The Armistice, which brought WW1 to an end with the guns falling silent.

Ms Leeanne Shanks organised and prepared Year 10 students from each House to commemorate Remembrance Day.
