A creative group of Year 8 students have taken out a top prize in the Kompetisi Klip-2, a video competition presented by the Westralian Indonesian Language Teacher’s Association! Open to schools throughout Western Australia, the group took out first place in the Year 7/8 ‘Bersandiwara’ (Play) category for their inventive ‘Indo Mie’ advertisement.
Students in year 9 Science were challenged to build their own electromagnets and work out how to make the magnet stronger. Students worked out that by adding more coils of copper wire to their iron nail their electromagnet became stronger and they could pick up more metal objects. Students worked out the applications for electromagnets in industry.
Students used learnt new skills and prior knowledge to build a working motor using a copper coil and rare earth magnets.

It’s Science Week and today we witnessed a spectacular rocket launch on the quad.
The Science staff have organised many exciting events this week on campus to celebrate.
This year’s Science Week is focussing on scientists, engineers, technologists, mathematicians, designers and innovators of the past and present .
The weather was perfect for last Friday’s Athletic Carnival held at the Arena Joondalup.
With the sun shining and House pride on full display, our students have been giving it their best on the track and field today while cheering on their friends.
Well done to everyone!
You may be an avid reader, but the dusty pile of books in your room is starting to be a nuisance. You don’t have the heart to throw your old books away, but you don’t have much of a use for them anymore.
We need book donations to run another successful book stall at the fete.
Please bring any books you have outgrown or no longer need to Student Services or Primary Office. If it is easier, bring them to the shed in the bottom car park.
Shed will be open every Tuesday from Aug 14, at approx. 7.45am – 8.45am.
THANK YOU!
Excitement is building across our campuses as both Carramar Secondary and Duncraig Secondary prepare for their House Athletics Carnivals this Friday!
We hope you can join us to cheer on our students as they compete in track and field events.
23 schools competed at Mawson Park in Hillarys last Friday in the NIPSSA Cross-Country Carnival. The standard of competition is always very high and to be successful at this event requires a great deal of commitment and dedication.
St Stephen’s School was well-represented with Year 5 and 6 students from both Carramar and Duncraig competing in the event! Students showed off their dribbling and shooting skills, participating in the round robin tournament against other independent schools.
Well done!
Overall Results Division A:
Year 10 student Casey Vlahos has recently travelled to Okinawa, Japan as part of the West Australian section of Go-Kan-Ryu karate! This gives Casey the opportunity to train with the highest karate practitioners in the world, some of the whom are descendants of the founders of traditional Okinawan karate.
Wow! Congratulations Casey.
