Pictured below is some incredible art work produced by Year 10 students in Biblical Studies. This term they have been doing an Overview of the Bible to see how the whole Bible when read in the light of Jesus’ work on the cross for us, points to God’s plan to save us from our sins and give us eternal life through his Son. The drawings depict different key characters and events in the Bible. Their pictures speak a thousand words!

Year 7-9 students competed in the Ross Meadow Shield at the Perth Hockey Stadium on Thursday. Two teams from St Stephen’s Duncraig competed, and despite the wintery conditions, our teams managed to finish in a creditable 4th and 5th place. Each game lasted 20 minutes and they competed against several other schools from across Perth.
There was an extra incentive to spur on the players in the shape of a cheerleader, Mr Jakeway!
The Secondary School have been hosts to ten Indonesian students and one teacher (English teacher) visiting us from SMPK Penabur Meara Karang, a Christian School in Jakarta, Indonesia.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn more about Indonesian culture, practice their Indonesian skills and build long lasting friendships.
They presented Mr Titlestad with two gifts to commemorate the visit.
From seniors to juniors the secondary campus was alive with debates during homeroom today.
Debating is a sociable activity that develops valuable life skills. Supported by experienced coaches, students learn how to present and counter persuasive perspectives using structured, evidence-based arguments. Debating also offers opportunities to expand students’ world views. Successful debaters are well-informed, aware of current affairs, engaged with world events and able to articulate diverse perspectives on contemporary issues.
Pictured below are some of the juniors in action.
Year 11 Students have been on an excursion for Biblical Studies. They are studying World Religions. The photos are of a visit to a Hindu Temple, Buddhist Temple and a Synagogue.
Last Friday the theatre hosted the Junior Music Concert.
Having a theatre is a valuable tool for students of all ages. It provides an outlet for making creative choices, and interpreting the material in expressive ways that are the essence of drama and music.
For those lucky enough to be in attendance, the Junior and Middle School concert was brilliant last Friday night. Well done to all our students on an outstanding evening.
This term enthusiastic Year 6 and 7 debaters from The Duncraig campus have been fine tuning their skills at a workshop on Tuesday afternoons and competing against each other throughout the term. The grand final between Carramar and Duncraig takes place on the 29th.
Recently our Year 12 cohort went on retreat to Swanleigh.
Swanleigh is located on 89 acres of picturesque rural land on the banks of the Swan River.
The camps and retreats are places where students can step out of their usual environment and try some new learning activities. It is always good to have new, positive experiences. School camps/retreats offer this in spades! It important for everyone to do new things and learn new skills.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
