As the St Stephen’s School community recognises National Reconciliation Week, our students have been learning about the history between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The discussions in class and as a whole school have provided opportunities to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
We kicked off another season of swimming this week with the Secondary House Swimming Carnival!
Congratulations to all of our students for giving their best on the day, and to Timae who took out the winning house.
After a thrilling day of Athletics last Friday, the winners been announced! Congratulations to Timae.
Well done to all students for their enthusiasm and teamwork displayed on the day.
A group of ten year 11 and 12 students went to Ronald McDonald House to participate in their ‘Lovin’ from the Oven’ experience. They made morning tea for the families staying in the house. These families have children who are sick in the new children’s hospital and Ronald McDonald House is very much their ‘home away from home’. The students were also given a tour of the facilities, including seeing inside the rooms which families can stay in, the teen hang out area and the roof top garden.

Students from all years are invited to submit a new design for their House logo! Students must submit their designs to their House Deans either in person or via email by June 1 at the very latest. This is a great opportunity for our students to get creative and show their House pride! For any questions regarding the Logo Collaboration please contact your Dean.
Our generous an energized student’s in Timae have raised $4,232.65 for the Salvation Army and the Beyond the Classroom campaign.
Student’s decided to run a Lap-A-Thon and asked family and friends to support the event by sponsoring them.
What a fantastic effort!
