Spray-On-Skin Presentation
August 16, 2017The Year 12 students were treated to a two-hour presentation on Spray-On-Skin by the renowned Professor Fiona Wood today.
Professor Wood’s greatest contribution and enduring legacy is her work pioneering the innovative ‘spray-on skin’ technique (Recell), which greatly reduces permanent scarring in burns victims. Professor Wood patented her method in 1993 and today the technique is used worldwide.
Spray-on skin is a patented skin culturing treatment for burn victims, developed by scientist Marie Stoner and plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Wood. Professor Wood’s treatment is under ongoing development.
Thanks to our innovative technology Carramar Year 12 students could watch the presentation live using our extended classrooms.
Year 12 Geography
July 31, 2017
Brendon Quick and his Year 12 Geography class headed to the city to investigate the use of space in Perth’s Central Business District (CBD). Students had the opportunity to investigate the use of this space. Students were also given a tour of the construction area relating to the new Perth City Link. They were able to determine and analyse the upcoming changes to the area. Afterwards, the staff and students walked to Northbridge, where they continued to investigate the use of space within Perth’s Inner Mixed Zones (IMZ).
Interaction with the urban development is essential to Year 12 Geography and students enjoyed taking the skills they learned in the class room to the practical areas of the CBD and IMZ.

Year 12 Retreat
June 19, 2017Recently 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.

Gary Cass Visit
June 14, 2017Gary Cass visited Year 12 Human Biology students last week and they learnt how to test and match DNA fingerprints.
Students ran gel electrophoresis with real DNA fingerprints to find out if the suspects were guilty or innocent.
Gary Cass is passionate about creativity in science. He argues that creativity is as important as numeracy and literacy. He founded Fermented Fashion, a Perth-based company that has developed couture made from beer and wine. He gives various Tedx Talks.

ATAR Media Production
March 20, 2017
On the night of Wednesday the 15th of March, the Year 12 Media students of St Stephen’s Duncraig headed to Innaloo Event Cinemas.
No, not to see the new Wolverine movie, but to watch some of the top ATAR Media films made by Western Australian Year 12 students in 2016.
The night was a huge success, with our students buzzing afterwards about the student films they had seen.
We hope it has not only inspired those students who attended, but will impact on the quality of the ATAR Media productions they create this year.
