The Y12 Biology students were creating DNA profiles to catch: murders, thieves, evil twins, unfaithful spouses and genetic clones this afternoon by using gel electrophoresis technology.
Exciting stuff!

Dear St Stephen’s community
Jehova Jireh Haven and the Kelly family wish to extend our utmost gratitude for the generosity of the St Stephen’s community. Your support allowed 89 orphans and 14 carers to enjoy a Christmas celebration that they will remember for a long time. They had a lovely Lamb Spit topped off with chocolate brownies. The children also enjoyed face painting, a bouncy castle, fairy floss and a camera booth.
Each child received a gift bag filled with a toy, new clothes, underwear, toiletries, stationary and, of course, lollies.
We are blessed to be part of this community.
Yours sincerely,
Dale Kelly
Head of Rite Journey
One of the busiest times in the Secondary Library is lunchtime.
Once-upon-a-time, during lunch, the library was often only used by students wanting to explore literature and by others looking for a quiet space away from the playground, but what’s lovely is that today’s library is now being inundated by students for new reasons. There is a special ‘cafe’ area where students can sit and relax, enjoy their lunch, and perhaps purchase a caffeine and sugar free drink from the vending machine.
Students are working closely together and are forming meaningful social bonds in these spaces.
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.” – Ecclesiastes 4:9
Staff were following the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee today as queues formed in the LPC kitchen.
The hospitality students prepare and serve coffee, mocha, hot chocolate and heart-shaped jam droplets. They are learning basic skills and confidence to work as a barista. These skills will also help them to prepare great-tasting coffee at home. Students learn the basic theory of coffee making, origin of coffee, different types of coffee which are commonly served in Australia. They practice by using a commercial espresso coffee machine all under the watchful eye of Mrs. Penny Herd.
“When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality” – Romans 12:13.

THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI
By Bertolt Brecht
Rights provided by Alan Brodie Representation
“We get the leaders we deserve.”
Arturo Ui is a small-time gangster with a lust for power. In a city shaken by economic crisis and undermined by corruption, Ui keeps rising and rising until he reaches the very top. When he gets there, he won’t be breaking the law, he’ll be making it.
Written in 1941 as a cautionary satire on the rise of Hitler, Bertolt Brecht’s play is both thrillingly sharp and riotously funny. It has the wit, murder and musicality of a gangster movie while asking a very political question – how do we let a man like that come to power?
Artistic Director, Mrs Kellie Billingsley and the Year 11/12 Drama students bring a bold, visually inventive vision to this great play. This production promises to be a big, entertaining and thought-provoking night out.
The production dates are Wednesday 14th March and 15th March 2018, in the Duncraig Theatre at 7pm.
Tickets will go on sale two weeks before the commencement of these performances.
“Brecht’s anti-fascist study of political power hits home”.

We are so blessed to have such a ‘green’ campus.
When the sun shines, and the sky is blue it makes a wonderful backdrop to our beautiful school grounds.
Our Property Services Team do such a wonderful job.
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.’ – Luke 12:27
The 2018 swimming carnival was a great success with an excellent level of participation in so many events across all ages and genders. The weather was looking very ordinary first thing in the morning but the cloud cover meant that student’s weren’t getting overheated between events. Thank you to all the volunteers, parents, staff and students for an excellent effort on the day to deliver a fun carnival.
Below are a few snapshots from the day.
