Nicholas Recognised with Order of Australia Association Secondary School Citizenship Award
Nicholas Brammer was one of only 12 students in Queensland to be awarded a prestigious Order of Australia Association Queensland Branch Secondary School Citizenship Award this year!
Nicholas received his award from The Honourable Paul de Jersey AC CVO KC at a special ceremony held at Queensland Parliament House.
Nicholas is the first student from St Stephen's to receive this award which recognises his participation in social service activities, community service, leadership and character.
Nicholas has been a great role model to fellow students this year and we hope that he has inspired our younger students and upcoming leaders to get involved with community service, citizenship and volunteering.
Everyone can contribute to making the world a better place! Congratulations Nicholas.

Students Excel at Queensland Championships!
St Stephen's student, Cooper Rossberg, travelled to Brisbane with the Peninsula 13 - 19 years Track and Field Team earlier in October to participate in the Queensland Championships at QSAC (Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre).
