Year 12 End of Year Information

September 10, 2018

We recently emailed information about celebrating Grad’s Day on Thursday 20 September to our Year 12 cohort. Our Year 12’s are approaching an exciting time and we would like to help them celebrate their departure from the school in a positive, memorable way. We have a wonderful community and exciting plans are underway by the school leaders who are planning our Grads Day Assembly and the Deans are preparing House assemblies. Students have been invited to speak with Mr Andrews with any questions or ideas that might build on the strong positive Grads tradition.

 

Our formal evening event on 20 September is the Year 12 family Graduation Dinner. The Graduation Dinner recognises and congratulates all Year 12 students on graduating as alumni of St Stephen’s School, separate to the graduation requirements of the WA Certificate of Education.

 

Year 12 Revision Seminars are being held over the next few weeks, and students are being provided with support and additional revision time as we progress to the end of term. We wish our Year 12 cohort the very best for their written Mock WACE Examinations, which commence in the term break on Tuesday 2 October. The program for the return of Mock Examination results to students will occur in Week 2 of Term 4, from 15-19 October. Students doing General courses or Certificates are expected to have their work submitted by the end of this term.

 

WACE examinations commence on Thursday 1 November, and Year 12 students can obtain their personalised timetable through their SCSA login. Students were reminded by Dr Criddle, in Education Plus, about the required procedure if something should happen on the day of a WACE exam. The Sickness/Misadventure Application Form is available on the SCSA website at: https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/forms/forms. Attendance at WACE examinations is a requirement for WACE graduation.

 

Our best wishes to all our students for a rewarding final few weeks of term.

News from the Deputy Head of Secondary (Care)

November 30, 2016

We are on the final stretch of what has been, for many us, a very hard term. I have been extremely heartened over the last month to see the school community come together as it has done at a very trying time. I would like to thank every student, every parent and every member of staff for their care and support of one another through the past 3 weeks. The practical help, kind words and prayers have not gone unnoticed and have touched everyone in the community.

 As we head towards the holidays we look forward to a number of Christmas events. Awards night on Tuesday is always a hugely enjoyable celebration of everything that our students have achieved over the preceding 12 months and a chance to officially farewell our class of 2016. Likewise, I always enjoy the House Christmas assemblies. In the hurley burley of modern family life during Christmas, they always present a chance to sit back and reflect on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place and the fortunate position we find ourselves in, given all we are privileged to have and enjoy here in Perth.

 Thursday also sees the reemergence after a couple of decades of the staff v students hockey match. This will be at the HBF arena at 4pm on Thursday 1st December and all spectators are welcome. The student team will see some fine talent pitting their wits against staff, some of whom may be a little rusty and are currently dusting off their equipment….

 I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a restful break and I hope you are able to enjoy some time with your families and loved ones during the Christmas season. I also hope that you will have time to reflect on the last twelve months and an opportunity to plan for whatever the new year brings. 

 Lastly, I would like to finish by urging you to reflect most importantly on why we celebrate Christmas and God’s gift to us during the holiday season.

 God bless and have a peaceful, restful and hugely enjoyable holiday.
