THANKSGIVING 2019
April 10, 2019Last night our community gathered together in gratitude to God at our annual Thanksgiving Service. Themed ‘Our Place’, the evening highlighted who we were, who we are and who we hope to be as we celebrate the School’s 35th year. We also congratulated staff members who reach service milestones this year, including Mr Boyd Herewini who has committed an outstanding 30 years of service to St Stephen’s School.
WINNERS ARE GRINNERS
April 4, 2019Year 7/8 Boys Cricket Team were the champions in yesterday’s CAS Grand Final! The boys were undefeated all season and displayed great sportsmanship, skill and teamwork throughout the Term.
Well done!
RISE Service Learning for T1
April 2, 2019T1 went to RISE to work with young people and adults with disabilities. There were many activities to enjoy like painting portraits, working with clay and wood work. Our students also enjoyed working alongside the people at RISE and getting to know them and support the staff. Some of us learnt how to knit, and spent time in the textiles room where there was lots of laughter and chatting. Other students from T1 supported RISE and the staff by sweep the bricked area in the garden and re arranging the flower pots making it a tranquil and quiet place to sit and enjoy being in nature. After a wonderful time, the T1 students who attended this community service expressed how much fun it was and that the time they spent at RISE was time well spent. We are thankful for the opportunity to support people with disabilities.
