Reconciliation Day Assembly
May 26, 2017
Each year National Reconciliation Week (NRW) celebrates and builds on the respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.
May 27 Marks the anniversary of Australia’s most successful referendum and a defining event in our nation’s history. The 1967 referendum saw over 90 per cent of Australians vote to give the Commonwealth the power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise them in the national census.
3 June Commemorates the High Court of Australia’s landmark Mabo decision in 1992, which legally recognised that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a special relationship to the land—a relationship that existed prior to colonalisation and still exists today. This recognition paved the way for land rights or Native Title.
At the assembly today we had a visiting primary choir, Dryandra , who joined forces with the St Stephen’s primary choir to sing three songs.
We were treated to a display by students of Wesley College.
They performed traditional dances accompanied by the didgeridoo.
This wondelful assembly was co-ordinated by HASS teacher Matt Smith and HASS HOLA Leeanne Shanks.
Arts Tour
April 28, 2017
In the second week of the holidays upper school arts students from Carramar and Duncraig took part in an Arts Tour to Melbourne and Sydney.
Students were lucky enough to take part in various workshops from national institutions, view theatre from internationally recognised companies and view art works from state gallery’s.
The students immersed themselves in art of all disciplines and will take away skills and experiences that will enable them to both further their immediate studies and inspire their careers.

Educating the whole person
April 22, 2017Welcome back for Semester Two! It is wonderful to see everyone returning refreshed after the Easter break.
At St Stephen’s School, we educate the whole person – this encompasses elements of our spiritual, academic, pastoral, emotional and physical being.
I encourage every student at SSS to be their best for themselves and each other. Our relationships between school, family and student is of great importance. The family has a vital role in student development, and we enable this through communication between home and school, with open communication lines, and through keeping parents and carers informed. We welcome the participation of families as we all work together to develop well-rounded students.
One element of educating the whole person is the academic, and there are a number of opportunities coming up this term to support and engage families in the academic life and progress of our students. Parents and carers are invited to take part in our Subject Information Evenings, Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews, Coffee and Conversation mornings, and subject counselling. Information on these has been emailed and is available in SEQTA on the Bulletin and Documents pages. Please access SEQTA on a regular basis to obtain ongoing reporting about the progress of your child. The marks and comments found here form part of our continuous reporting cycle.
I look forward to the opportunities that will arise throughout this term for us to meet up for a chat.

The combined campus Careers Expo was an outstanding success.
Such was the demand that exhibitors run out of handouts.
