Year 10 Biblical Studies

June 1, 2018

Year 10 Biblical Studies students have been studying the structure and books of the Bible. The main task was to create a Bible picture storybook. The year 10s had a great opportunity to share their story books with year 1 and year 4 students. A fantastic time was spent exploring the Bible and the primary school students provided the Year 10s with some valuable critical feedback.

Fighting Hunger Together

June 1, 2018

Each fortnight, St Stephen’s School students and staff take two trips into the city to volunteer for the UnitingCare West Food Rescue. After our volunteers collect food from participating cafes around the city, it is distributed to feed members of six UnitingCare West Services such as Tranby Centre each night. Aligning with the School’s motto to ‘Serve God, Serve One Another’, our whole School community are on the roster for the Food Rescue runs, with Principal Mrs Donella Beare recently teaming up with Service Learning Coordinator Donna Lund to gather the goods. UnitingCare West Food Rescue feeds around 11,500 people experiencing homelessness each week.

Medieval Day

May 30, 2018

Students showed great creativity today when they created their own Medieval Village. Prac Student, Holly Nilan, inspired the students to become medieval sheriff’s, tavern owners, butchers, tax collectors and even undertakers. It was an effective way for students to demonstrate their understanding of Medieval History. It was a engaging lesson and the year eights had a fantastic time.
