RAC bstreetsmart Event
April 6, 2018
Yesterday Year 10 students went on an excursion to Perth Arena for the RAC bstreetsmart event.
RAC has been hosting bstreetsmart in Western Australia since 2012, and in this time almost 40,000 secondary school students have attended.
RAC bstreetsmart features a crash scene re-enactment attended by the emergency services, just as it would occur at a real crash site. The students also have the opportunity to listen to speakers who have been directly impacted by road trauma and talk with emergency services personnel.
The event was organised by Cathy Trethowen, Vet/Careers/VET Liaison Officer.
“Impeccably organised and executed, being a staff member on this excursion was a breeze and I was really proud of the tens for the way they behaved and represented the school.” – Bennet Andrews, Deputy Head of Secondary (Care).
Photos include a photo of students with Byron Gallyer alumni Class of 2015 who was a Red Frog volunteer at the event.
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” – Romans 12:10
Heart in their hands!
April 5, 2018Today we held a heart in our hands and pulled on the heart strings during a heart dissection. Students were able to relate the real structure to our classwork. Good job Y8s.

Year 7 Electoral Education Centre Excursion
April 4, 2018On Wednesday 4th April, Mr Hummerston’s Year 7 HASS class journeyed their way to the Electoral Education Centre near Parliament House to learn about how Australians vote. Whilst there, they learnt lots of new information, showcased their knowledge learnt from class and took place in mock elections. The students seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves and we hope to one day see their name on a ballot paper!

Shining CAS Stars!
April 4, 2018Our CAS Sport stars had a jam-packed lineup of grand finals last week, with the Year 9 Boys Basketball team taking out the top spot in their match! The Junior Girls Touch Rugby and the Year 9 and Senior Girls Basketball teams may not have come away with the win, but they put up a stellar fight in some very close-scoring matches. These results place St Stephen’s in third place overall in Summer CAS, which is a great start to the year.
Super effort and teamwork everyone!

Picture Perfect!
March 29, 2018Travel writing has been described as the best job in the world — and The West Australian will give two lucky teenagers the opportunity to take on the coveted role. Read more about the competition Click here
Year 9 student Emma Charteris has been chosen as one of only 10 finalists in The West Australian’s Young Travel Writer competition! Emma captured the towering trees of the Karri forest in her depiction of the beautiful South West. She’s already received a Canon SX60 HS camera for her achievement, and is now in the running to take part in an expedition to Dirk Hartog Island.
Well done Emma!
A Busy Summer of CAS
March 29, 2018
I would like to thank Anna Pargeter, our CAS sport organiser, for her efforts and hard work in regard to Inter-School Sport. We have more teams and more sports represented than ever before. I would also like to commend the swimming team and the staff who coached them. We came third in A Division – and when results across all divisions (A through to I) were combined – we came 3rd out of 80 schools and were only 7 points off second place! Well done to all students, parents and teachers for their support.
Next term the winter CAS season starts. While we are not entering a Year 7 AFL team (we have never managed to sustain a Year 7 team in the past) we are entering a Junior and a Senior Team as always and Year 7 boys can still attend School trials for the Junior Boys AFL team (Years 7,8,9). A Year 7 Boys Football team has been entered into the North Metro Cup (Dockers Shield), which takes place on Tuesday 12th June in Week 7 of Term 2.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our families a blessed Easter and a safe holiday in a few weeks’ time. Our annual Thanksgiving Service, to which our entire community is invited, takes place in the last week of Term. Please previous correspondence regarding booking a place for your family.
