Welcome to the St Stephen's Website

St Stephen's School opened its doors for the first time in 2004, to serve the families of Algester and the surrounding suburbs.

Our supportive Catholic school environment nurtures and challenges children as they develop in all areas of the curriculum.

St Stephen's School provides education for children from Prep to Year 7. According to our master plan, St Stephen's will eventually become a three-stream primary (Prep to Year 7) school catering for approximately 600 children.

Our prayer is for the courage to own our shortcomings and to start again to do better in whatever way possible. Each day, the children in our school have opportunities to pray, meditate and reflect. This is an important facet of a Catholic school!   This is a significant year in the ongoing development of our school. I can advise that the appointment of a builder for the construction of our new hall is imminent. Although this project has suffered from unexpected delays, it is scheduled to start soon. Next week is a big sporting week with our inaugural St Stephen’s School Swimming Carnival for Yrs 4-7 scheduled for Monday, 22 March. The carnival will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes School Pool, Sunnybank. We are grateful to Our Lady of Lourdes for their generosity in making their pool available. The Queensland State Futsal Titles are also scheduled for next week. St Stephen’s will have five representative teams participating in the competition on Tuesday, 23 March; with the finals to be held on Friday, 26 March.   P & F News We are thankful to Mark Snartt from Brisbane Catholic Education for coming to speak with us about the NAPLAN Tests last Wednesday night.
