The students were inspired by the surroundings and had a creative time.

Last week St Stephen’s School hosted a workshop for the ASELL Project (Advancing Science and Engineering through Laboratory Learning) which is part of a collaboration between several universities across Australia, including Curtin University in Perth. The project aims to enhance teaching in the laboratory by carrying out and evaluating experiments that have been devised by host school teachers.
The ASELL workshops are aimed at increasing teacher confidence and reflection when planning and presenting experiments/investigations to students.
Our Science staff and some students were taken through a process of reflection and improvement using student feedback. It was an excellent opportunity for staff to gain further skills and feedback from students and leading academics with an aim for continual improvement in the Science teaching program.
HASS students enjoyed a thought provoking visit from Mr Ephraim Kaye the Director of International Seminars at The International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.
Yad Vashem, is the national Authority for the Remembrance of the Holocaust in Israel.
Mr Kaye’s talk was gripping and students were encouraged to engage. Students were shown rare video footage and photos of original Nazi documents.
The visit was coordinated by HASS teacher, Matthew English and HASS HOLA, Leeanne Shanks.

On Friday 05/05/2017 the year 11 and 12 Automotive Engineering and Technology student visited Barbagello Raceway to watch the Supercars and other classifications practice for Sunday’s racing. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to see behind the scenes of the requirements to race on the day.
Aside from the Supercars, the class favorites were the stadium trucks and the drift cars. The drivers and the Club Presidents were very generous with time for the students, which was greatly appreciated.
Another highlight was the availability of pit lane, where the public can visit and see how much work goes into the setting up of the cars. This is closed on the Saturday and Sunday.
A big thanks to Russell Sewell, who made the day possible, which has inspired the students.
