Year 9 Edward Smith has just landed in Tokyo to take part in the Nippon Scout Jamboree, the largest Scouting event in Japan!
The Nippon Scout Jamboree held by the Scout Association of Japan, and is the largest event in Japan.
Jamborees are held once every four years.
Travelling as part of the Australian Contingent, the Warwick Scout is the only Western Australian representative and will be immersed in the Japanese culture for the next two weeks.
Safe travels, Edward!
As part of our Kids’ Conversation series, we’re getting to know some of the wonderful, dedicated staff members of St Stephen’s School.
For our very first interview, Jasper and Elisha sit down for a chat with our Principal Mrs Donella Beare!
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.

In year 9 science we are exploring electricity, we have looked at static electricity and enjoyed learning about how the van der Graaf generator works. We have also started to learn about current electricity and how it flows through a circuit. Students are learning how to measure electricity and draw circuit diagrams.

An excellent group of our Yr 11 student are fundraising for their service learning trip to Cambodia next year. As part of this we are looking for empty plant pots that you may have filling up your back shed. If you want to get rid of them they would be greatly appreciated and accepted by the group. The pots can be left either up at the Science building or Student services.
Thank you in anticipation.

Head of Science

Our students never cease to amaze us with their unique sporting skills!
Tahlia Papworth (Year 7) has placed second in the Open Women’s Canicross Competition, while her brother Jayden (Year 9) placed fifth in the Open Men’s Competition.
Canicross is a long-distance running sport requiring a little more skill than a typical cross country race, as each participant is harnessed to a running partner – a dog!
Congratulations to the dynamic duos.

Below are a few snaps from the trip.
