Food Appeal

August 3, 2018

Dear Parents and Students,

Winter is here and we all know it can be a difficult time for those in our community that are experiencing homelessness or severe financial hardship. Once again St Stephen’s School will be supporting those who find themselves in this predicament.

Commencing Monday, 6th Aug and concluding Friday, 24th Aug we are collecting non-perishable food items to donate to UnitingCare West to distribute to those in need.

It would be greatly appreciated if all students could donate a minimum of one non-perishable food item each. Some examples are:

Pasta and pasta sauce

UHT milk

Biscuits

Tea/Coffee

Cereal

Canned vegetables/fish/meat

Secondary students will be directed to bring the items to their Houses, Primary and ELC students to their teachers.

We thank you in advance for your generosity, every little bit helps.

With regards

Donna Lund

Year 9 Edward Smith has just landed in Tokyo to take part in the Nippon Scout Jamboree, the largest Scouting event in Japan!

The Nippon Scout Jamboree held by the Scout Association of Japan,  and is the largest event in Japan.

Jamborees are held once every four years.

Travelling as part of the Australian Contingent, the Warwick Scout is the only Western Australian representative and will be immersed in the Japanese culture for the next two weeks.

Safe travels, Edward!

 

Service Learning Timean Style

July 27, 2018

A big thanks to Kevin McCloud for allowing us to work with him in spending some time weeding and planting at Bindaree park, one of the many local wetland regions that the FoY are involved in.

It is hoped that the students can build a connection with their local environment and become involved in serving community organisations such as FoY, leading the way for other students to get involved in supporting their local environment.

Sneaky Peak…GREASE Rehearsals

Electricity with Year 9

July 27, 2018

In year 9 science we are exploring electricity, we have looked at static electricity and enjoyed learning about how the van der Graaf generator works.  We have also started to learn about current electricity and how it flows through a circuit.  Students are learning how to measure electricity and draw circuit diagrams.

WANTED Plant Pots

July 26, 2018

An excellent group of our Yr 11 student are fundraising for their service learning trip to Cambodia next year. As part of this we are looking for empty plant pots that you may have filling up your back shed. If you want to get rid of them they would be greatly appreciated and accepted by the group. The pots can be left either up at the Science building or Student services.

Thank you in anticipation.
