Did you spot St Stephen’s School in The West Australian’s Choosing a School liftout today? Mrs Beare discusses how we harness ‘soft skills’ such as critical thinking, creativity, resilience and versatility to prepare our students for the world beyond the school walls.
“We can’t predict the jobs of the future but we can prepare students for the changing world.”
Secondary students can create their own career pathway plans, explore different occupations and set interests and preferences on the new St Stephen’s Careers websites. Working with our Career Advisors on each campus, students can manage their accounts, set goals and track their career choices online.

The scene was set on Saturday night as our most senior students celebrated their Year 12 Ball!
Accompanied by a stunning view of the city, the Class of 2019 danced the night away at Fraser’s Restaurant in Kings Park.
Alfie Jamieson has a fundraising jar at Grill’d (Hillarys) for the month of February.
He is fundraising for the South Africa Service Tour.
When you order a meal at Grill’d you will be given bottle caps, you can then place the bottle caps into one of three different fundraising jars.
Grill’d Local Matters began in 2011 as a way to give back to the communities. So far they have raised over $4,000,000 for more than 20,000 local community groups across Australia.
The objective is to fill the Alfie jar!
What a smashing idea!

What could be more Australian than heading down to Bunnings for a sausage in a bun! The South Africa Service Tour group will be manning the BBQs at Joondalup Bunnings on Australia Day to raise funds for their upcoming tour so pop by, grab a bun and say Hi!
Maybe it’s time for a new pair of shoes? The Tour group are also holding a ‘Boot Drive’ – collecting pre-loved boots and sneakers to donate to the children of South Africa. If you’re ready to part with your old kicks, keep an eye out for collection details to come.
Finally, Year 10 student Emma Cooke has put together a special night of live music, activities and family fun to raise funds for homeless people and orphaned children in South Africa on February 9. Tickets are $10. Call Lisa on 0437 282 212 or email lisa32@bigpond.com for more info.
A group of our 2019 Year 12s and staff recently returned from just under two weeks on the St Stephen’s Global Cambodia tour where they worked with RAW Impact to build a new home for a local family of eight in need. The trip included lots of hard work, tree-planting, a sleep out, some interesting characters, heart-warming stories, visits to NGOs and historic places.
