SCHOOL SLEEP OUT

May 31, 2019

School students will swap their school bags for sleeping bags later this year for the annual Anglicare School Sleep out. Although St Stephen’s isn’t part of the Anglican Schools Commission, Anglicare were impressed by our commitment to giving back through our Service Learning arm that they extended the invitation for our community to experience sleeping rough for one night, to see how the more than 9000 West Australians who are homeless live. If you’re interested in forming or joining a St Stephen’s School team, go to www.anglicarewaschoolsleepout.org.au.

WARM WELCOME

May 30, 2019

Moving up to Secondary can be a bit daunting for some but the Year 7-10 Mentoring Program helps to welcome the newest recruits into the fold. Year 10 students recently spent time playing games with some of the Year 7s, helping to bridge the gap from Primary to Secondary, with Celebrity Heads, UNO and Two Truths and Lie offering lots of laughs. The groups meet twice a term to provide the younger students with a familiar and friendly face before they transition into their Houses in Year 8.

Spiritual Visit

What beautiful smiles and weather.

 

RECONCILIATION WEEK

May 29, 2019

As the St Stephen’s School community recognises National Reconciliation Week, our students have been learning about the history between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The discussions in class and as a whole school have provided opportunities to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
