The Yr 8 students are completing activities on Friday in their maths lessons in way of celebration of International Pi Day.
Please join us in celebrating by completing this Pi Day Sudoku, each row, column and region must contain the numbers 1-9, and three pi symbols.
The school hosted another wonderful social event this week. Parents had the chance to hear from the Deans, and to meet the House Captains, who reflected on their past experience of Year 8 and what it meant to be part of a House and Homeroom. They then had the opportunity to mingle and meet the Head of Campus and network with other Year 8 parents.
Mrs Nicola Resta and Mr Stuart Gale, Deans of Alethea and Carana.
Planting and growing herbs and vegetables in the kitchen garden is part of the Year 8 Food Design and Technology students Term 1 project of designing and making their own Budda Bowls.

This morning was Tucker’s (our Reading Dog) last day of school for 2019 with the Year 8 English class he has been attending all year. The students produced gratitude certificates and thank you certificates to both Tucker and Karen (owner/volunteer) as well as treating Tucker to a few doggie treats and Karen to a box of chocolates.
A big thank you to Justine Stevens for programming Tucker into her English reading lessons. Tucker will be back with us next term to begin a new year bringing the light of reading into students’ lives at St Stephens.

Dear Yr 7 and 8 Parents
Earlier in the year your child may have opened a Pinterest account using their school email address. Pinterest is an excellent visual learning tool for students to document their research. Some of your children may have received some diet and body image advertising emails through their school email. You may wish to check with your child to see if they received any of these emails and talk to them about the content.
We have given time and instruction to the students in the classes affected to delete these accounts. Therefore no further emails should be coming through the school email system. Protocols for using such online learning tools are now in place. Here is a link where you can find further information about the protocols and how you can make using this learning tool as private and secure as possible.
If you have any further queries please contact Mrs Penny Herd, Head of Learning Area, Technologies.
Mr Stefan Walter was a guest speaker in Mrs Aldous Year 8 Science class recently, demonstrating the Physics of Sound with his electric guitar, carrot clarinet or ‘Clarot’ and real clarinet. They also looked at the difference between electric and acoustic guitars as one of the students showed off his great guitar abilities with a solo.
