St Stephen's School

WA's first Uniting Church School, St Stephen's has grown over the years to become Perth's largest school (with more than 2700 students over two campuses). Its founding vision remains core and is embedded in the fabric of the School as it strives to fulfil its mission of 'growing people, growing faith'​ for our ever-changing world - a world that needs people who aspire to live with purpose. To live with purpose is to live with meaning, to achieve not only for one's self but for others, to be alive in the adventure of living and serving. To this end, St Stephen's teachers strive to make every student's learning an adventure. Enlivened by Christian purpose, they provide a caring and challenging learning environment with innovative education and community service programs which engage students in the adventure of learning and serving. As the School enters its fourth decade, it is committed to 'changing the world one mind at a time'​ by ensuring the adventure of learning begins at St Stephen's - an adventure where students aspire to live with purpose. The revolutionary elements of St Stephen's School lessons today, where students are engaged in the fun adventure of learning, would be beyond the founders'​ imagination when they laid the first brick. However we know they would instantly recognise the exceptional care given to each student - nurturing young people of Christian character and integrity - who are ready to go into the world with purpose and change it for the better.
