Principal’s Message

Due to the past success of our Connect Business Directory, the decision to proceed to Edition Two was an easy one.

As a College, we are comprised of families who both care for each other and lift each other up. We have a strong bond between staff, students and parents, with the Connect Business Directory aiming to cement that bond even further.

The advertisers in this Directory are parents and friends of the College and together, we are able to support each other by encouraging not only ourselves, but our families and other networks to get behind these businesses.

Thank you to everyone who is part of the 2023 Connect Business Directory, you all play an integral role in building the nurturing, caring and family focused environment for which we are so well known.

Ms Kim Cohen Principal

At Saint Stephen’s College, we have a strong set of values that underpin everything we do, not only as an educational institution, but also as a communty.

College Prayer and Hymn

College Prayer

Almighty and Everlasting God.

We pray there exists in our College an atmosphere of love and care amongst all who teach and learn.

May there always be at Saint Stephen’s College, a desire to love that which is worth loving, to know that which is worth knowing, to hold high that which is most precious to thee, and to dislike that which is evil in thine eyes.

Grant that Saint Stephen’s College may be a home of fellowship and brotherhood, culture and learning, and that all who pass through these doors may ever be witness to God our strength, excellence our pursuit.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen

College Hymn

Ne’er Be Still

Chorus May our light forever beckon, dance and ne’er be still.

In the darkness shadows cast, Our lamp to shine His will.

Verse 1

Fill our lives O Lord we pray, fill every part with praise That we may witness Jesus’ life in all our daily ways. [Chorus]

Verse 2 May we be like Stephen, Lord, prepared to stand by you And excellence be our pursuit, Our strength in God be true. [Chorus]

Verse 3 Within these walls may ears awaken and eyes be prompt to see The will of God in all we do for self, for school, for Thee. [Chorus]

FOR BUSINESSES

Since 1994

For businesses looking at growth or competitive advantage by way of acquisition, we can be engaged in a Buyers Advocate role to actively seek targeted opportunities. We can conduct full due diligence, produce valuations and prepare supporting documentation for finance applications or capital raising.

— Business Structuring

Too often we inherit clients where there has been limited advance thought into the operating structure. This can create unwanted head aches that are expensive to unwind.

— Cashflow Planning & Finance Applications

The old saying “cash is king” still holds true and we can assist you in understanding the key drivers of cashflow and design three way forecasts covering cashflow, profit and loss and balance sheets.

— Succession Planning

A key part of maximising the value in your business is to carefully plan succession and maintain excellent operating systems. We can assist in assessing values, structuring buy-sell agreements and advice on asset protection.

— Tax Advice

Our commitment to tax advice is a core differentiator in our local market. Our team includes members with Masters in Taxation qualifications and we are active in training other accounting firms on tax compliance and solutions.

— Management Accounting & Reporting

We have trained experts in all the common cloud based accounting software packages as well as several industry specific software packages.

BATTERY STORAGE

What’s your favourite part of your power bill?

Strange question I know, but hang with me…

Would it be having power…?

And what’s your least favourite part?

No doubt paying the thing! Right??

That’s where we come in.

At Top House Solar we love helping our customers crush their power bills.

Every year our customers save millions of dollars collectively. And we love hearing the stories…

Like Ross and Marg’s $441 power bill that we helped put into $253 credit.

Or Fiona’s bill that averaged $520 per quarter which we helped her reduce to under $5!

Or Mark who paid a whopping $1700 per quarter!

But after we installed his solar system, only paid around $300 on average. See for us, it’s all about our customers.

They’re why we Guarantee the Performance of every solar system we install. We believe people should be able to bank on the results we promise them.

If you’d like to discuss how we can help you crush your home’s power bill, give us a call. Or maybe you already have solar and might be more interested in battery storage. We can help there too.

Give us a call or send us a message.

Sincerely, Bryan Adams (yes like the singer)

P.S. My wife and our children feel blessed to be part of the Saint Stephen’s Community. Thank you for having us.

KITAYAMA Dojo

Dojo of Bayside BUDOKAI Hombu (headquarter)

has

affiliation with AIKIKAI Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan. Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art created during the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba (1883~1969). Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. The goal of Aikido training is not perfection of a step or skill, but rather improving one’s character according to the rules of nature.

The Gold Coast Performance Centre located in Runaway Bay is a unique health and fitness facility. As a local Centre, we provide our members with a gym that has all of the equipment and facilities they need to achieve high-level health and fitness results.

Situated under high sails, our huge facility is naturally ventilated by fresh sea breezes blowing off the nearby Broadwater.

Experience the Belle Property Hope Island Difference

Choosing Vanessa Pope to sell our property has turned out to be an inspirational decision. Her enthusiasm, attention to detail, ability to answer all manner of questions, her patience and understanding all combined to engender in us a sense of confidence that we were “in good hands”. Nothing was too much trouble for her. In addition, her selling strategy was spot on and what she delivered was a result that we are extremely happy with. Vanessa is a great asset to Belle Property Hope Island.

THE SHACK @ MARINA ONE is located waterside on the Marina Catering for a wide variety of customers from locals and their families, to the boating community we offer a convenience not previously available in this local Hope Island region.
