Food Appeal

August 3, 2018

Dear Parents and Students,

Winter is here and we all know it can be a difficult time for those in our community that are experiencing homelessness or severe financial hardship. Once again St Stephen’s School will be supporting those who find themselves in this predicament.

Commencing Monday, 6th Aug and concluding Friday, 24th Aug we are collecting non-perishable food items to donate to UnitingCare West to distribute to those in need.

It would be greatly appreciated if all students could donate a minimum of one non-perishable food item each. Some examples are:

Pasta and pasta sauce

UHT milk

Biscuits

Tea/Coffee

Cereal

Canned vegetables/fish/meat

Secondary students will be directed to bring the items to their Houses, Primary and ELC students to their teachers.

We thank you in advance for your generosity, every little bit helps.

With regards

Donna Lund

Service Learning Coordinator

We are lucky to have exchange student Chloe joining us to study at St Stephen’s School for the next year! We have no doubt Chloe will enjoy exploring Perth after travelling all the way from Switzerland for this awesome experience.

Welcome to St Stephen’s, Chloe!

Welcome Back

July 31, 2018

Welcome back to Semester Two! I hope all our families had a good three weeks break. I have been here during the break, seeing and supporting the amazing work taking place in the Houses. I still cannot believe what was achieved in only three weeks. They are almost finished, and Carana and Timae look amazing, so I am sure Aletheans must be excited about what is going to be happening later in the year.

We start Semester Two with a few changes for study programs. Some students have a change in electives, plus would have had some great feedback from teachers at the Reporting Day and in SEQTA comments. In our first assembly for the year, I talked to the students about this being a great halfway point to assess goals, review goal setting with your Homeroom teachers, and find focus for Semester Two.  This could be as diverse as a focus on excellence, on goals, on class work, friendships, and final results at the end of the year.

The Year 12s have returned focused and ready for their final weeks of schooling. In assembly, I thanked the Year 12 students for their leadership of our school. Sometimes at this stage it can feel like you have been at school for ever, our senior students have been racing toward the finish line for so long and now it is almost here. My hope for them is to keep strong, and keep focused on their goals. We have shared a lot together and are here with all our students, and with our Year 12 cohort as they focus on the finishing line and we run the final part of this race together.

Service Learning Timean Style

July 27, 2018

A big thanks to Kevin McCloud for allowing us to work with him in spending some time weeding and planting at Bindaree park, one of the many local wetland regions that the FoY are involved in.

It is hoped that the students can build a connection with their local environment and become involved in serving community organisations such as FoY, leading the way for other students to get involved in supporting their local environment.
