SCSA Parent and Community Website
March 14, 2019The School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) has developed a website to support parents and members of the community. The Parents and Community website is accessible on the School Curriculum and Standards Authority website https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au via a new tab – Parents and Community.
The website has been developed for parents and community members as a guide to:
- what children and young people should learn
- how they are assessed
- the standards children and young people are expected to reach at each year level.
The website presents information that parents often ask the Authority and will enhance their communication with schools. It has been developed with input from representatives of key parent groups.

The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence
March 8, 2019
The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) occurs on the third Friday in March each year. The NDA is an opportunity for students, teachers, parents and the whole community to take a stand together against bullying and violence. This annual day provides a focus for schools who want to say, ‘Bullying. No Way!’ and to strengthen their everyday messages that bullying and violence at school are not okay at any time.
St Stephen’s School Duncraig is a registered NDA school.
On Friday, our School and House Captains will wear ribbons to recognising our commitment to assisting students in recognising and responding to bullying.

The Rite Journey
March 7, 2019At St Stephen’s Schools, we recognise the importance of each individual student’s personal development. The Rite Journey is a unique educational program designed to support the development of self-aware, responsible, respectful and resilient adults. The year-long program is taught to our Year 9 students where students engage in conversations about who they really are and what type of adult they want to be. The Rite Journey gives students an opportunity to reflect, discuss and develop strategies about their transition to adulthood through conversation, debates, challenges, self-reflection, journal keeping, and service to others.
