St Stephen's School is a K-12, co-educational independent, day school of the Uniting Church located on two campuses – one in Duncraig and the other in Carramar, two suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. The school is Western Australia's largest independent school.[citation needed] The Duncraig campus opened in 1983 for Year 3 to Year 12 and the Carramar campus in Tapping opened in 2001 for Kindergarten to Year 12. In 2011 the school opened the new Early Learning Centre (ELC) in Hepburn Heights (across the road from the Duncraig campus) for Kindergarten to Year 2.
The school also owns a 115-acre property, named the Nanga Outdoor Education Facility, consisting of untouched natural bushland, field, forrest and 800 metres of Murray River frontage. The property is used for school camps and retreats, leadership development and team building activities.
