Following a successful pilot program in 2017, St Stephen’s School was lucky enough to participate in WA Charity Direct‘s School Program again in 2018. Selected Year 8 Carramar and Duncraig students chose the Saba Rose Button Foundation as worthy recipients of a $25,000 donation from WA Charity Direct. Read more about this heart-warming project in the Joondalup Times.
CREATIVE EXPEDITION
March 18, 2019Year 10 students recently took an enlightening excursion to Fremantle to explore the world of children’s literature and illustration. The trip included a workshop with children’s book author and illustrator Briony Stewart at Paper Bird Children’s Books and Arts, and a meeting with illustrator James Foley (author/illustrator) who comically demonstrated the process of illustrating a children’s book.
After leaving Fremantle inspired, students are now designing a promotional poster to celebrate Book Week as part of their Commercial Design class.

SCSA Parent and Community Website
March 14, 2019The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) has developed a website to support parents and members of the community. The Parents and Community website is accessible on the School Curriculum and Standards Authority website https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au via a new tab – Parents and Community.
The website has been developed for parents and community members as a guide to:
- what children and young people should learn
- how they are assessed
- the standards children and young people are expected to reach at each year level.
The website presents information that parents often ask the Authority and will enhance their communication with schools. It has been developed with input from representatives of key parent groups.
