HAIRDRESSING AT ST JAMES’ ✨💇‍♀️

As part of SJAS+, our Certificate II in Salon Assistant students have been gaining hands-on experience and developing their hairdressing skills in our very own salon!

Through practical experiences such as washing and styling, students have been developing valuable industry skills while growing their confidence and professionalism. The course provides a valuable introduction to the hairdressing industry and opens the door to future training and career opportunities.

A fantastic opportunity to learn, explore and build real-world skills through SJAS+.

YEAR 11 SLEEPOVER FUN 🌙✨

Last Friday night, our Year 11 students enjoyed a fun-filled sleepover at School. With bonfires, marshmallows and plenty of smiles, students had the opportunity to relax, strengthen friendships and spend time together outside the classroom.

As part of their CAVE program, students also took part in a service activity, preparing general supplies for those in need, in partnership with Anglicare WA.

It was a wonderful night filled with laughter, community and memories that will last well beyond the sleepover.

THANK YOU, THE ATHLETE’S FOOT OCEAN KEYS 👟

A big thank you to The Athlete's Foot Ocean Keys for their generous support of St James’. Through their community partnership program, the School has received $350 in vouchers, which will be used as prizes for students later in the year.

Our Community Captain and Sports Captain were pleased to accept the donation on behalf of the School.

Did you know? Every time a customer mentions St James’ at checkout, The Athlete’s Foot Ocean Keys donates $5 back to the School. This contribution is made directly from sales, meaning our community can support St James’ simply by shopping locally.

Thank you to The Athlete’s Foot Ocean Keys and everyone who has supported this initiative. 🧡👏

GUEST SPEAKER: BOORI PRYOR ✨

With NAIDOC Week occurring during the school holidays, students began engaging in activities and learning experiences today, with more to follow next week.

Students enjoyed a special presentation from guest speaker Boori Pryor, an award-winning author, musician, storyteller and filmmaker.

Through storytelling, music, dance and language, Boori Pryor shared insights into First Nations cultures, weaving together personal experiences, Dreamtime stories and contemporary perspectives. His engaging presentation helped students gain a deeper understanding of the richness and diversity of Indigenous cultures, both past and present.

KINDY PYJAMA DAY 🧸

Our Kindy students enjoyed a cosy Winter Pyjama Day today, filled with fun, learning and special memories.

After enjoying warm toast for breakfast, students spent the day learning with their favourite teddies by their side. From maths activities to everyday classroom experiences, their teddies were part of the fun, creating plenty of smiles and special memories throughout the day. 🌟

JUNIOR SCHOOL MUSIC ASSEMBLY 🎶

Students from Years 3–6 showcased their musical talents at today’s Junior School Music Assembly, sharing a variety of performances with the St James' community.

The assembly was a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate the skills and confidence they have been developing through their music lessons and ensembles.

Thank you to the families who joined us to support the students. Your encouragement helps make these performance opportunities so special. 🧡🎵

NIPSSA CROSS COUNTRY 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Today our Junior School Cross Country Team competed at the NIPSSA Cross Country Carnival, taking on a strong field of runners from schools across the region.

This was our first year competing in Division A following promotion from Division B last year, and students approached the challenge with great effort and determination throughout the day.

Well done to all runners who represented St James’ and gave their best on the course. 🧡👏

YEAR 10 CAREER DISCOVERY WEEK 📚✨

This week, our Year 10 students participated in Career Discovery Week, a four-day program designed to help them explore their strengths, interests and future pathways.

Students visited a range of universities, including Murdoch, Curtin, UWA, ECU and Notre Dame, gaining valuable insights into study options, career opportunities and life beyond school.

The experience empowered students to make informed decisions about their Year 11 and 12 pathways with greater confidence and clarity.
