FROM THE

EDITOR As we begin the final term of 2017 at All Saints’, it is wonderful to celebrate and reflect on what has been achieved by our community this year throughout the pages of our College magazine, The Dove.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

In this 78th edition, we have showcased some of the many images taken by The HotHouse Company’s inaugural Photographer-in-Residence, Jon Green, during his six months with us here at the College.

Throughout his residency Jon was a regular visitor to our classrooms and studios, on the sports field and on the stage, in our staff offices, and at community events and activities, capturing what he believed to be the true ‘essence’ of our College.

Jon’s stunning images throughout The Dove, and in his eBook (see page 47) definitely showcase the spirit and true meaning of life at All Saints’.

The dove is the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, a messenger of good news or peace. It forms an integral part of the All Saints’ College crest and represents our commitment to the spiritual and ethical development of our students. The magazine title also links in with the College’s other major publication, the Columba yearbook, Columba being Latin for dove.

We were delighted to receive a satisfaction rating of 97.84% in our recent annual parent survey in response to the work we are doing within Goal 1 (Optimised Student Learning) in our curriculum. As part of this work, we have launched Propeller Enterprises, our centre for innovation and entrepreneurship, in its new home, The Hangar, and started work on the design of Runway, the pop-up shop that will feature our students’ enterprising goods and services, all of which demonstrate a social conscience.

Additionally, we were pleased to announce this year that our work within Goal 1 will be facilitated and supported by the establishment of Djoowak: the Beyond Boundaries Institute (see page 5).

H3, or Heads, Hearts and Hands – our Service Learning program – continues to grow from strength to strength, and forms an integral part of Goal 2 (Positive Student Wellbeing) of our Strategic Plan, as do our Mindfulness program, Yoga Club and many other cocurricular activities. We were pleased to record a satisfaction level of 98.55% for our cocurricular offering in this year’s parent survey.

Within Goal 3 (A Team of Professional Staff), we feature several of our many staff who continue to be active learners, facilitated by Restless Curiosity, the College’s fund that supports staff in their ongoing professional development. In addition to celebrating a number of staff who are furthering their studies, we also acknowledge several for their service to the wider community and for their active engagement in a range of programs beyond the campus.

This edition of The Dove also celebrates Goal 4 (A Connected Community) and, specifically, our very active P&F, the many benefits of our various partnerships, and our rich history – thanks to another successful Heritage Week, just to name a few. In regard to community, our recent parent survey reported a satisfaction level of 95.34% about the sense of community that exists at the College, and 98.53% in relation to the various services that All Saints’ College provides for its families.

And in conclusion, we celebrate the Goal 5 (Prudent Stewardship) that sees the College’s strong enrolments and sound financial position facilitating our ongoing campus development, and we are pleased to report a satisfaction rating of 98.19% in regard to College facilities, in this year’s parent survey.

Thank you to all community members for your wonderful support of the College throughout the year. I hope you enjoy reading this edition of The Dove.

Warm regards Ms Belinda Provis Principal

DJOOWAK: THE BEYOND BOUNDARIES INSTITUTE Over the past three years of our current Strategic Plan, All Saints’ College has focused on optimising student learning and wellbeing.

As we strive to achieve these goals, what becomes clear is that, whilst we are continuing to evolve and develop our current structures in leaps and bounds, the imperative to continue to nurture independent, future-enabled young people means we need to reach beyond common current structures.

G AL1 OPTIMISED STUDENT LEARNING

To help us in this work we are pleased to be establishing in 2018, Djoowak: the Beyond Boundaries Institute (BBI) to support and guide us in our core business of providing a world-leading Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 teaching and learning environment for students and staff.

Future-focused and dedicated to innovation and leadership in educational practices, BBI comprises a team of College staff who will work alongside partners from the wider educational community and from industry.

BBI will explore and implement new and flexible structures and practices for learning that recognise, and are focused on, our diverse student cohort’s interests,

abilities, passions and skills, and that are committed to nurturing future-enabled young people.

The BBI will assist us in our continued focus on: • an integrated approach that acknowledges effective teaching and learning does not take place in ‘silos’ or isolated departments; • providing a ‘personalisable’ education; • acknowledging that much rich learning occurs before 8.30am and after 3.30pm, and that much rich learning also occurs informally as well as formally; • recognising that online and offline learning are important educational tools; • the notions of flexibility and hybridity – that there is no one ‘pathway’ to a tertiary education or to a range of futures;

Centre for Educational Enterprise (CEE) which named All Saints’ College as its first WA partner school earlier this year.

The Director of BBI, Ms Esther Hill (our current Dean of Teaching and Learning), will work closely with all teaching staff across the College and liaise with a range of key personnel, including the newly-created role, Assistant Director of BBI for 2018 and 2019, Mrs Marianne Beattie (our former Head of Design and Technologies).

The Institute is an important way in which the College can further strengthen our quest to provide the optimal teaching and learning program and environment for our students and staff, and we look forward to sharing with you its work in the new year. *(Djoowak – a Noongar word meaning ‘proceeding, following generation’).

• the fact that our students are interacting and learning in local, national and global contexts; • preparing our students not just for an exam, but for a fulfilling life; • the increasing blending of traditional secondary and tertiary boundaries.

Committed to remaining abreast of world’s best practice in education, BBI is fuelled by the synergies that come from its various partners, which presently include: the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science; non-profit organisation, the Foundation for Young Australians; Bloom, co-founded by Old Saint Mark Shelton (2011); social enterprise, Spacecubed; Bunbury-based organisation Maker + Co; Curtin University; and the

PROPELLER ENTERPRISES – ‘THE HANGAR’ OPENS Propeller Enterprises is one of the means by which All Saints’ College is working to nurture in our young people the skills of the 21st-century learner: creativity and innovation, problem-solving and collaboration, to name but a few.

D

This College initiative is designed to create and support a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship with a social conscience, and aims to do so via a range of means, including: • partnering with classroom teachers and the existing curriculum; • providing a cocurricular club for students of all ages; • offering a holiday workshop program in support of start-ups and the like for ASC students and young people across Perth; and

E

• welcoming back to the campus interested Old Saints who wish to make use of the centre whilst mentoring current Saints.

A hub or space where people can come together to talk, question, wonder and explore is central to seeing students engaged and immersed in a culture of start-ups, ‘what ifs’ and ‘how comes’.

6

THE DOVE GOAL 1

Across industrial and educational sectors, collaboration spaces have become a common connecting element for places and people recognised as leaders in the field. In Perth, some of our universities (as well as Spacecubed and Bloom) have all been early adopters, designing spaces that lead to innovation. And now, All Saints’ joins these leaders and serves as a bridge between secondary, tertiary and professional institutions.

Through our community’s generous donations to the College’s Voluntary Building Fund (VBF), our demountable building was repurposed this year into an All Saints’ Propeller Enterprises’ hub called ‘The Hangar’, which includes two major parts: a Collaboration Space (Co-Lab) and a Makerspace.

The Hangar was officially opened mid way through Term 3, with all students invited to drop by for a visit to learn more about Propeller Enterprises, as well as participating in a number of engaging launch activities, including a ‘Tech-Take-Apart-Table’ workshop, ‘Here Come the Robots’ activity, Lego creations, and a presentation from Year 10 sisters, Amy and Anna Mackay, about starting and running a business.

RUNWAY: OUR INAUGURAL POP-UP SHOP In the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship with a social conscience, All Saints’ (in partnership with Propeller Enterprises) launched its first student challenge, to design the College’s inaugural pop-up shop, Runway, during Professor Yong Zhao’s visit in Term 3.

Runway will support a number of our students who are already making their own way within the realm of entrepreneurship, having created innovative products and/or services (see page 12), as well as those who are keen to learn and develop their own business enterprises.

Students in Years 5 to 12 were invited to submit proposals for the new pop-up shop which needed to be creative in function and/or design; utilise recycled, upcycled or repurposed materials; reflect aspects of the College community and/or Propeller Enterprises; be mobile; include signage and branding; and incorporate a counter and displays.

Five teams of students across the Junior and Senior Schools created innovative designs, which they presented to a panel of judges in Week 7. As all these applications featured inspiring components, the teams are now working to synergise the best of each design into a final plan for the pop-up shop that will be brought to life and seen by the many people who will shop at Runway.

Initially operating out of College’s Wanju café and Canteen, it is also planned that Runway will ‘pop up’ in various places around the campus at different events throughout the year.

Reflecting Propeller Enterprise’s focus on having a social conscience, part of Runway’s proceeds from sales will go to organisations identified by the College’s Service Learning program, H3: Heads, Hearts and Hands.

PROPELLER ENTERPRISES’ ENTREPRENEURIAL SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS A

As part of Propeller Enterprises, the College was pleased to host two highly successful workshops during the July school holidays in our Years 5 and 6 building.

The Spark Workshop, led by Code Camp, saw a group of Years 2 to 7 students learn to code, develop their creativity and use logic and problem-solving skills to build their very own app.

Code Camp has taught more than 12 000 Junior School students across Australia important skills such as computational thinking, logic, creativity, user experience, app development and game-building in a fun and engaging way.

In the studio next door to the Spark Workshop, students in Years 7 to 12 addressed the global environmental crisis as part of the Balance of the Planet Workshop.

“It was a super fun collaborative challenge that encouraged problem solving and teamwork.” (Balance of the Planet participant)

INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITH PROF ZHAO

C

Facilitated by Kim Flintoff (Curtin University Learning Futures Advisor), the three-day challenge reached across the arts and sciences with participants investigating and proposing solutions to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030).

“All Saints’ students have a wonderful opportunity…your school is at the cutting edge with innovation and entrepreneurship.”

(Professor Yong Zhao, ASC Academic-inResidence 2017)

Parents and wider community members also had the opportunity to hear the Professor’s thoughts on what skills our children need in the future and how we can prepare them in developing a creative and entrepreneurial spirit through the College’s Djaaliny Community Learning Program.

This was an encouraging remark made by internationally renowned US-based scholar, Professor Yong Zhao, during his visit to All Saints’ College as our Academic-inResidence for three days in July.

Some of our staff were also fortunate to share their vision and hear Professor Zhao’s thoughts about the College’s new hub for innovation and entrepreneurship with a social conscience, Propeller Enterprises, which was launched this year. They also walked through the Propeller Enterprises’ space (the repurposed demountable on the tennis courts), now known as ‘The Hangar’, to discuss ideas on how best to make use of the area.

During his time at the College, Professor Zhao worked with our students, staff and parents in several areas, including the essential 21st-century skills of innovation and entrepreneurship.

From acid rain to water pollution, nuclear accidents to global warming, and consumer goods to starvation – the students examined their way through the array of problems.

Then, using their newly aquired knowledge, they proposed some innovative solutions for our planet, including a fair worker rights sticker, ‘pick and mix’ supermarkets and more robust regulations for offshore drilling.

D

Professor Zhao first spoke with our staff about the key ideas in his book, World Class Learners, and discussed how our teachers can cultivate and nurture independent thinkers who are able to contribute positively to the globalised society.

Our Junior School students explored the ideas of creativity and entrepreneurship with Professor Zhao, while our Year 7 students discussed what they have been learning and what Design Thinking tools they have been utilising in the new Creative Industries program this year.

ENHANCING OUR CULTURE OF THINKING As part of our commitment to enhancing our ‘culture of thinking’ at All Saints’, we were delighted to host Harvard Graduate School’s Associate Professor and Project Zero consultant, Mark Church, at the College again this year.

In 2016, Mark worked with our staff exploring the cultural forces at play in our classrooms and explained how to foster opportunities for rich and deep thinking.

This was particularly beneficial as we began the implementation of the Cultures of Thinking (CoT) model, developed by Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero into our classrooms early last year.

During his visit this year, Mark worked with teaching staff across the campus on how they can maximise their time to better focus on students’ thinking; how to leverage the eight cultural forces of a CoT environment; and how the language or discourse of thinking can be used in our classrooms to create opportunities for deep learning, along with a range of other related topics.

THE DOVE GOAL 1

In June this year a display of our students’ valued and visible thinking, the Year 5 Exhibition, was held at the College.

The evening began with our Year 5s performing musical drama pieces about Western Australia in the 1800s, culminating in a piece about the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme pipeline.

Guests then moved into the classrooms to view the work on display, to scan QR Codes, listen to the students’ presentations on headphones and admire the gold statues representing historical West Australians.

Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, said the Exhibition was an excellent display of the deep learning that was taking place in our Year 5 classes during Semester 1.

“It was evident that the teachers had been using, to great effect, the Thinking Routines brought to us by the professional development from Mark Church, to extend children’s thinking and deepen their learning,” said Ms Crane.

“The students were encouraged to consider different perspectives and also to capture the essence of their learning in short phrases or headlines. They also made statues of significant people in history. Their choices were insightful and provided a way to acknowledge their appreciation of that person and their positive impact on our history.”

TECH GIRLS’ PHONE APP WINS STATE FINALS All Saints’ College celebrates with a team of four Year 6 students who recently won the State Finals of the 2017 Tech Girls are Superheroes competition with their creative phone application (app).

Adeolu Adeoye, Ayona Basu, Stella Hermawan and Riya Singh (pictured above) developed the app to help solve the problem of poor nutrition and obesity by encouraging people to be active whilst playing a game on their phone.

The Tech Girls are Superheroes competition is a nationwide initiative to encourage more girls into STEM careers, with entries needing to address one or more of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals.

The organisation enlisted women from the computer industry to act as mentors for each team.

Team member, Stella, described how their winning app The Healthy Emoji is unique.

“The app has an emoji feature that the person will have to look after. The aim is to keep healthy by being happy, exercising, connecting with friends and practising mindfulness. To motivate the consumer to do this, we have prizes such as unicorn horns as accessories for the emoji,” she said.

“Our app has a few elements within it: mindfulness, exercise reminders, tips, healthy recipes and our special emoji feature. We figured out that if we made our app look like a game but had self-benefits too, it was a winwin situation.”

Junior School ICT Literacy teacher, Ms Brette Lockyer, encouraged the students to enter the competition and said it offers young girls the chance to push boundaries

and uncover skills they did not know they possessed.

“Seeing these young people having to project-manage and team-build was great to watch,” said Ms Lockyer.

“The entire project encouraged them to develop a cando attitude and to take risks. A great deal of personal growth took place. They should all be incredibly proud.”

Well done to the other two WA finalist teams which were also from All Saints’ College. ‘Maths Mission: Secret Spy’ and ‘Chill your Mind’ comprised Years 4 to 6 students and focused, respectively, on mathematical education using time and measurement tools, and how to use the art of mindfulness to achieve goals.

ALL SAINTS’ OFFERS ON-CAMPUS VET CERTIFICATES Proudly non-selective, All Saints’ College highly values the diversity of our student population and our community, along with the rich learning environment and experience supported by such diversity.

Whilst many of our students choose an ATAR pathway, increasingly we are working with students who are keen to pursue a variety of learning outcomes and interests.

For example, this may see them undertaking a combined ATAR/General course or an entirely General course.

Irrespective of the direction they choose, the College’s role is to assist students with selecting the most appropriate course, pathway and provider to facilitate their success.

Students who select the General course are required to complete either on- or off-campus Vocational Education and Training (VET), for which Certificates are issued, in order to receive their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and graduate from high school.

Whilst we will continue to customise VET courses for students where appropriate, we are also pleased to be offering, from 2018, a range of Certificate courses on campus for interested students, as part of the College’s current curriculum review.

14

THE DOVE GOAL 1

Next year the College will offer the following opportunities on campus for students to gain industry qualifications: • Certificate II in Creative Industries and Certificate III in Screen and Media • Certificate II in Information, Digital Media and Technology • Certificate II in Visual Arts (Wood context) • Certificate III in Design Fundamentals (Photographic context) • Certificates II and III in Applied Language (French context) These Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) approved Certificates will be available for both Year 11s and 12s.

In some cases, the Certificate II will need to be completed before embarking on the Certificate III. Off-campus opportunities will continue to be offered to students whose desired pathway is not within these areas.

Our Year 10 French students are already working towards their French Certificate II in Applied Languages this year, while our Years 11 and 12 French students are completing their Certificate III in Applied Languages.

The College looks forward to these exciting additions to our curriculum offering, and to reporting on our students’ experiences of them in the year ahead.

STUDENTS EXPLORE SEVEN NEW JOB CLUSTERS AT FUTURES EXPO In July, hundreds of Senior School students, parents and community members had the opportunity to learn more about possible career pathways and speak with a variety of different industry professionals at the annual All Saints’ College Futures Expo (formerly Careers Expo).

Health, ICT, Accounting, Education, STEM, Animal Health, Building, Law, Engineering and Aviation.

Our Years 5 and 6 building was a wonderful new venue for the event which has developed significantly over the past 12 years into an important and valuable occasion in the College’s calendar, and a highlight of our Year 10 Futures curriculum.

The students identified the clusters that resonated the most for them and were encouraged to speak with presenters at the Expo who were wearing stickers, in the same cluster, to ask them about their career path and occupations.

At this year’s Expo, representatives from the five Perthbased universities, as well as Central Queensland University, Bond University, the two major State Training Providers and a number of private Registered/Group Training Organisations were present to answer attendees’ questions. Alternative entry institutions, Curtin College and Murdoch Institute of Technology, were also at the event, as were a number of professional associations and individuals representing various occupations.

The students and parents were particularly grateful to seek advice from the 27 Old Saints and College parents who generously shared their knowledge and experience in their chosen fields, which covered areas such as

During the Year 10 Futures classes this year our students have focused on the seven new job clusters (Informers, Artisans, Designers, Technologists, Carers, Coordinators, and the Generators) in the Australian economy identified by the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) ‘New Work Order’.

We were also pleased to have CEO of FYA, Jan Owen AM, speak with our staff and community during her visit to the College earlier this year, as part of our Djaaliny Community Learning Program. Jan challenged us to pay attention (as educators, parents and students) to the changing work landscape and the resulting complex career pathways that present many challenges for young people.

Many thanks to all the community members who contributed to the 2017 Futures Expo, including the staff and students who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and the individuals who volunteered their time at this wonderful event.

FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES FACILITATE SCIENCE LEARNING Highly-engaging incursions and excursions are an integral part of the College’s Senior School Science program, providing our students with firsthand experiences of the concepts covered in their classroom learning.

B

In March our Year 12 Biology students had the opportunity to visit the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, as part of their studies in biotechnological techniques and its applications. During the excursion the students completed activities in Polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis. They also explored DNA sequencing using human DNA to detect the presence of a mutation in the BRAF gene which is associated with melanoma.

C

In the same month our Year 11 Biology class visited the Perth Hills Discovery Centre to support their learning in biodiversity. The students conducted fieldwork activities in mammal trappings, plant identification and use of quadrat surveys. During their final session they were introduced to some of WA’s endangered species and learned about the work the Western Shield animal conservation program is carrying out to assist in their survival.

In Term 2 a Water Corporation of WA representative visited the College for an educational ‘Edible Aquifers’ incursion with our Year 12 Integrated Science (ATAR) class. The students enjoyed a valuable class building

their own aquifers using edible ingredients representing the various elements. They also covered many learning outcomes, including understanding more about the geology of an aquifer and how groundwater contamination can challenge the sustainability of our drinking water supplies, as well as identifying ways to protect our groundwater systems and reduce the risk of environmental contamination.

As a practical component of the Year 12 Integrated Science (General) course, our students were learning how to establish an aquaponics system to raise fish and grow vegetables. To support their learning they had the opportunity to visit Aquaponics WA, a local business specialising in hydroponics and aquaponics. The staff generously donated their time and experience in guiding the students through their inspiring variety of working systems on display at the Canning Vale shop. The class also had the opportunity to ask many questions and feed the barramundi.

Our Year 7s enjoyed the opportunity to learn about rain, catchment areas, food webs and the impact of pollution around Perth from the South East Regional Centre for Urban Landcare (SERCUL) organisation in May this year.

During this incursion, which was part of the Year 7s Science learning of Ecology, the students saw firsthand how water ends up in the catchment areas. They learned about how substances such as oils, rubbish, waste, detergents and fertilisers damage the Swan and Canning Rivers, and how these impact on the habitats of various organisms.

YEAR 6 INQUIRY JOURNEY SHOWCASES RICH AND DEEP LEARNING In Term 3 this year, our three Year 6 classes embarked on a Humanities and Social Science inquiry journey to discover why Australia is made up of many different nationalities.

‘Human migration to Australia’ and the ‘Stories behind migration’ were the key focuses of the inquiry, which followed the 5Es Teaching and Learning Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate.

To begin their learning journey, the students engaged in several activities, including creating timelines of events that linked to Australian immigration, mapping countries from where people left to migrate to Australia, as well as completing a novel study of Parvana by Deborah Ellis and writing diary entries from the perspective of a young Afghani girl.

They then explored the migration concept by learning the social, economic, political and environmental ‘push and pull’ factors; through the study of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants; their research of visas and schemes; and by sharing stories of migration through a Parent Community Forum. Our Year 6 students were also required to develop their own personal inquiry question and presentation.

To help with the research of their inquiry questions, students heard from Mr Greg Port (Head of ICT Integration) about his ‘top tips for researching’; College Maintenance staff member, Mr Rene Pineda about his personal experience of migration to Australia; and a 18

representative from the Coalition for Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Detainees.

L-R: Kate and Divya

Using their newfound knowledge, the students elaborated on their inquiry presentations using art and technology, and developed their own ‘Migrant Survival Kit’ using symbolism and literal elements.

The Year 6 students’ individual inquiries were thoughtful, creative and varied. Some examples include: “What are the migration stories behind our ASC community?”

by Divya Josey; “How can I make a positive difference to the lives of refugees?” by Kate Zatella; and Lachlan Bruce and Ben Davie’s analysis of, “How did the ‘Tampa Affair’ change the way we deal with asylum seeker boats arriving into Australia today?”

To explain her inquiry question, Divya organised interviews with various staff across the whole College about why they decided to move to Australia, what push and pull factors forced or influenced them to move, and what they considered to be some highlights of our country.

“Based on the few staff I interviewed, I discovered that we have such a diverse community here at All Saints’,” said Divya.

After much research about the hardships and positives of migration journeys, and with advice from Ms Lockyer (Junior School ICT Literacy teacher), Kate developed a blog (welcomefromkate.edublogs.org) using Edublogs and drafted posts to help migrants or refugees feel secure in Perth.

“I love that my blog will be seen by people and could actually help! I truly believe that those people coming here are amazing, and having the chance to help them is a privilege,” said Kate.

The culmination of this Humanities and Social Science inquiry project was the Year 6 Migration Exhibition evening, where the students celebrated and shared their learning journeys with their parents, families and College staff. The value of the interdisciplinary approach was evident, with deep learning shown through drama performances, the migrant art suitcase display, and a musical component showcasing music from different cultures.

A REVIEW OF LANGUAGES AT ASC As part of our commitment to a ‘broad and engaging curriculum…designed to meet the needs of our diverse population’ (ASC Strategic Plan 2014-2018 Goal 1: Optimised Student Learning, Objective 1.2), the College employed a consultant in late-2015 to conduct a Language Learning Review.

All Saints’ will introduce Mandarin from Kindergarten to Year 6 next year, removing Japanese from the Junior School curriculum as of the 2018 academic year.

The College will also offer Mandarin and French (for second language learners) for Year 7s from next year, while supporting the ongoing study of Japanese and Italian for our current Years 7 to 11 students who wish to continue with those languages, through internal or external providers.

Managed by Dr Nayia Cominos PhD MA from Kephi Consulting, the review took 18 months to complete, and engaged with staff, students, parents and external professionals through face-to-face and online surveys as well as focus groups.

“While this provides us with some exciting new opportunities, we are also mindful that this is disappointing news for some members of our College community, and keenly felt by our teachers of Japanese and Italian. It is important to add that in no way is this decision a reflection on the wonderful work of these teachers over many years,” said Principal, Ms Belinda Provis.

As a result of this review, and in our ongoing quest to see languages thrive at All Saints’, the College has made the decision to modify its languages in a transitional period of up to five years. Therefore, from 2018, the College will offer one Asian language (Mandarin) and one European language (French).

“Some of our Junior School students have been learning Japanese for several years. This is certainly not a ‘lost’ experience, as their language learning skills will certainly enrich their language studies as they now transition to Mandarin,” added Ms Provis.

ENRICHING VISUAL ARTS’ LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

A

Each year our Visual Arts Department provides a number of opportunities for Senior School students to participate in highly engaging workshops with critically acclaimed artists, and rewarding excursions to local Perth galleries.

B

These experiences enable students to engage in different art forms and conventions, put their classroom theory into practice, and learn from talented artists about their experiences and career paths.

Our Years 11 and 12 Visual Arts (ATAR) students enjoyed a full-day excursion in early May, visiting exhibitions in Perth city and Fremantle to learn more about visual analysis. Their first stop was the Art Gallery of Western Australia, where they participated in an insightful workshop with Education Officer, Lisa Paris.

Year 11 students, Alyza Hartree and Claire Nelson, said they had an opportunity to learn more about context, style, medium and the artists.

“The workshop was based around Australian artists and their viewpoints on the present and the past. We observed many famous paintings, including Australia IV

by Indigenous artist, Daniel Boyd,” they commented.

The group’s next location was the Fremantle Arts Centre where they examined the many exhibitions on display, including Orange: Sannyas, inspired by the Rajneesh movement in Fremantle during the 1980s and focused

on Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his religious order, as well as a gallery featuring emerging Indigenous artists from rural WA. Only a few days later, our Year 10 Design and Year 11 Visual Arts (General) students were learning about fashion design techniques from Alex Mesterton-Gibbons, former Assistant Director of Admissions for Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Hong Kong.

This unique learning experience provided our design students, who were studying the concept of repeat patterns, with the opportunity to absorb some of Alex’s extensive knowledge on fashion designs. At the conclusion of the workshop, the budding designers created their own watercolour-based fashion sketches with inspiration drawn from the seasons.

Charlotte Ch’ng and Catherine Choong (Year 10) said the workshop proved to be an enriching learning experience for all involved.

“Hearing Alex’s fascination for aspects of the design process and her admiration for fashion enabled students to express their personalities through the development of fashion sketches,” they said.

Our Years 10 to 12 Visual Arts students had the opportunity to work with Fremantle artist, Steve Makse, over two afterschool workshops this year. The focus of his workshops was on creating realistic skin tones using oil paints, and creating form and depth in portraiture painting.

This experience not only assisted our Year 10 Visual Arts students with their Black Swan Youth Portraiture Award entries, but also helped some of our Year 12 students who were working with portraiture themes.

More recently we were excited to host an incursion with Will Huntley for our Years 11 and 12 Visual Arts (ATAR) classes.

Will is a professional visual artist who has over 35 years’ experience in design, mould-making, prototyping and sculpture, and has spent more than 18 years working in special effects make-up and props in Hollywood.

During the workshop students made a mould of their fingers in ‘Pinky Putty’, which they then filled with ‘Easycast’ resin to make a realistic sculpture in hard white plastic. They were also introduced to expanding polyurethane foam.

Will was impressed with the students and wrote, “It was a genuine pleasure to come to your school. The students at All Saints’ were very well mannered and respectful. It was hard to believe that I was in a room with teenagers, and not adults.”

SPEAKING STARS CONVEY POWERFUL MESSAGES Gender equality in sport was the topic of focus for two of our Year 6 students when they presented powerful speeches at the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA) Speakers’ Challenge held in June this year.

Congratulations to Kayla who was awarded a gold medal and competed in the final round of six students, delivering her speech for a second time in front of 200 people.

Ashleigh Gurr and Kayla O’Connor were wonderful ambassadors for All Saints’ as they competed against students from 15 Perth and regional independent schools, at the challenge hosted by Scotch College.

“I feel that it is an important topic that needs to be highlighted to everyone, so women’s games will become more popular. My aim was to inspire people to make a difference,” said Kayla.

Both students showed confidence and an outstanding level of skill as they conveyed strong messages about greater representation of women in sport.

“I’d like to thank Mr Beath (Head of Health and Physical Education) for the wonderful article he put on the College website blog about Women in Sport. I read it thoroughly, and his thoughts inspired me to expand the original piece I wrote for the 2017 IPSHA Speakers’ Challenge.”

Well done to Ashleigh who was awarded a bronze medal for her speech titled, Why all teams should be mixed, highlighting the benefits of both genders playing on the same sporting teams.

“Mixed sports are great. They address inequality, foster innovation, and are great for developing our resilience,” said Ashleigh.

Kayla spoke about ‘Women in Sport’ after she noticed a big difference in attendance at the Perth Glory Women’s and Men’s Leagues games.

Ashleigh and Kayla participate in the Junior School cocurricular Debating Club and were selected to represent the College after presenting their speeches in front of the class.

YEAR 3s LEARN ABOUT FIRE SAFETY Our Year 3 classes enjoyed learning more about fire safety when local firefighters from Murdoch Station visited the College earlier this year.

This incursion supported the Year 3 Health curriculum. The students learned valuable information, including how to ‘drop low and go, go go’, in case of an emergency how and when to dial 000, the role that smoke detectors and exit plans play during an emergency, and the materials and functions of the equipment worn by fire and rescue officers. They also learned that a fire truck siren is very loud!

Following the incursion, the Year 3 students summarised the key points they remembered, so that they could share this valuable information with others.

DEDICATED SWIMMER RECEIVES ACC ‘LETTERS’ Debating Wong (Junior School L-R: Kayla, Mr Eugene Ashleigh r), che tea 6 r Yea Club Coordinator/

The College congratulates Year 11 student, Holly Morgan, who was recognised with the Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA (ACC) highest individual sporting accolade, ACC Letters, earlier this year.

Holly is the sixth student from the College to receive ACC Letters for her success in Swimming and her commitment over many years to the sport.

To receive this acknowledgement from the Association, a student must be selected in an All Star team in the same sport for a minimum of four years. To be selected for such a team, a student must finish as the best performer in an event for their age group across all schools and divisions within the ACC. The ACC is an independent secondary schools sports organisation, with a membership of

more than 75 schools covering more than 48 000 students.

With so many students competing annually in the ACC carnivals, it is a significant achievement for Holly to be awarded ACC Letters.

All Saints’ College has been a member of the Association since 1987, with our students competing each year in the three major ACC carnivals of Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics, as well as weekly summer and winter Interschool Sport.

The awarding of ACC Letters was first introduced by the Association in 2013. Previous College recipients in the following years are: Emily Kayser (2012, Swimming), Andrew Walker (2012, Swimming), Olivia Russell (2013, Swimming), Kai Metzner (2014, Athletics) and Jizelle Kenworthy-Groen (2015, Athletics).

HARRIET FLIES HIGH WITH AVIATION AWARD Less than 12 months after she started training, Year 11 student Harriet Holbrook has been awarded the Australian Women Pilots’ Association (AWPA) WA Branch Aviation Award for 2017.

This award supports female student pilots in their training and includes a $2 000 scholarship towards a Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL), Private Pilot Licence, RA-Aus Pilot Certificate, RA-Aus Navigation Endorsement or Gliding Certificate.

Harriet is nearing completion of her RPL and is undertaking final training and examinations with the Royal Aero Club of Western Australia (RACWA) at Jandakot Airport.

Harriet said she was very surprised and grateful to learn that she had won this year’s award, and enjoys the challenge of flying and achieving goals.

“I also really love the peacefulness when flying solo, especially when I fly down to Mandurah,” she added.

In January, with only 40 hours accompanied and four hours solo flying time under her belt, Harriet took off from one of the shortest and most dangerous runways in the world, Courchevel Airport in the French Alps, with an instructor.

“At first, looking down the runway was daunting, but once in the air it was really beautiful and peaceful. Coming into land was again scary due to the very short length, but it was quite an experience,” she said.

Harriet was inspired to start aviation after she signed up for the RACWA Young Eagles Program, which provides flying experiences to prospective future aviators between 10 and 15 years of age.

HSFOL is conducted by the Mathematical Association of Western Australia and is endorsed by the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers.

To master the capabilities of the Word computer program would be a challenging task for most people, but one that Year 9 student Lexie O’Brien was able to accomplish earlier this year.

Lexie put her expertise in this Microsoft Office program to great use when she competed at the state and national 2017 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Championships earlier this year.

The MOS Championships, presented

by XCERIO Digital Skills Institute, test students’ skills and knowledge of the three Microsoft programs by asking participants to answer questions and produce examples, such as inserting tables, changing styles and inserting endnotes.

After only completing the qualification exam in Word in Term 4 2016, Lexie worked her way up to compete in the State Championship in May this year, where she secured first place.

As a direct result of her placing in the state competition, Lexie was invited to attend the National MOS Championship held in Sydney, where participants from all over Australia brought their knowledge and experience of the Office programs to the competition in a bid to be named Australia’s 2017 Microsoft Office Specialist.

At the nationals, Lexie placed third overall, narrowly missing out on the MOS World Championship.

The College commends Lexie on this significant achievement and we look forward to hearing about her future successes within this field.

CONFERENCE SHEDS LIGHT ON FUTURE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES In early May a group of All Saints’ College Years 11 and 12 students, interested in pursuing a career in accounting and economics, had the wonderful opportunity to ‘rub shoulders’ with and ‘pick the brains’ of industry professionals.

Caitie Berry, Jameson Bland, Niamh Doherty, Michael Fallon, Jordana Matthews, Chase Scott, Caitlyn Soon and Jocelyn Weir were accompanied by the College’s Futures’ Facilitator, Ms Grace Itzstein (all pictured above), to the annual ‘Meet the Business Leader’ Conference, hosted by Chartered Accountants Australia, held at Perth Convention Centre.

To begin the afternoon our students heard from two guest speakers, Amanda Cox (CFO of the West Coast Eagles) and Melissa Grove (Senior Accountant at Chevron Australia).

Students then spoke with four chartered accountants from different workplaces in Perth, asking them questions about their individual job positions.

Niamh (Year 12) and Michael (Year 11) said they also participated in a number of ice-breakers, mental challenges and team-building exercises throughout the conference.

In Term 3 our Years 10 and 11 Media classes visited Channel 9 Studio in Perth City to develop a greater knowledge of broadcast journalism and perhaps spark an interest in students who may want to pursue a career in this industry.

This excursion tied in with the Journalism unit our Year 11 students were studying at the time.

“As we arrived at Channel 9 Studio, we were greeted by Tahlin Harris from the Marketing division who graciously invited us to begin the tour, with our first stop being the main news studio,” said Roland Montes (Year 11).

“We heard about the ins and outs of a news anchor’s job and were given the opportunity to read a broadcast introduction and run the autocue text for the people speaking. This turned out to

be much harder than the professionals make it seem on TV,” he said.

The classes then visited the Command Centre, where all the news is coordinated.

“The room was very dark and covered in LCD screens, each displaying a different story or advertisement. We spoke to the News Pilot who has the responsibility of making sure that the news is seamless, programming the cameras and orchestrating the entire broadcast,” commented Roland.

After learning some insightful tips on how to obtain work in the industry, the students were introduced to the station’s News Chief and the Head of Social Media.

“Altogether, the day was entertaining and informative. We received a lot of insight into the kinds of things that go on behind the scenes to deliver finely crafted broadcasts straight to the TV screens of families across Perth.”

“This opportunity allowed us to make connections and gain a greater insight into accounting as an occupation in the modern world and its importance in the future. Everyone really enjoyed the conference and learnt a lot from the experience,” they said THE DOVE GOAL 1

THE DOVE GOAL 2

This conversation framed the day and provided our students with an understanding of the purpose of the activities in which they would be engaged. The first of these events was a collective College clean-up which involved all classes and promoted school pride, as well as a sense of responsibility.

Our students in Years 3 to 6 then began their first of two rotations which saw them choose from ‘active’ sessions of wheels play, bushwalking and indoor sports, and gentle wellbeing activities such as mindfulness, sketching, reading, photography, gardening and Lego.

The day also included two live art presentations focusing on resilience and wellbeing, performed by local Perth artist, Phil Doncon.

Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, said Phil’s presentations were perfect, coming off the back of our visit from Academic-in-Residence, Professor Yong Zhao, who encourages the development of entrepreneurial thinking.

“When Professor Zhao was with our Year 4 students, he asked them to consider what they are good at and what they are most interested in. Yong’s follow-up question was, How can your talent and interest add value and be useful to society? It was interesting to hear the students’ responses and the ideas that were sparked. This is an important question as a precursor to entrepreneurial thinking, and through Phil Doncon’s presentation students were shown a real life example of someone who is successful in this area,” said Ms Crane.

At the conclusion of the day, all students reflected by creating their own ‘Wellbeing Rock’. They were invited to share their ideas of wellbeing with others and took their rocks home as a memento of the day.

Kindergarten to Year 2 students also enjoyed the lively wheels play, sandcastle-making, bushwalking and dancing for their wellbeing rotation.

ADVOCATES HELP DEMENTIA PATIENTS RECONNECT THROUGH MUSIC All Saints’ College has developed a strong partnership with the Amana Living Lefroy Care Centre through our H3: Heads, Hearts and Hands Service Learning program, which sees a selected group of Year 10 students visit the specialist dementia facility every week.

College community for donations of pre-loved iPods and funds to purchase iTunes vouchers so that they could help the organisation expand the music program.

Six students, known as ‘Amana Living Dementia Advocates’, spend every Tuesday afternoon at the Bull Creek facility which is home to people living with dementia.

Amana Living CEO, Stephanie Buckland, said the pilot program last year was very successful, with residents feeling happier, as well as enjoying better relationships with their loved ones.

Their visits involve walks around the gardens, playing games, taking part in arts and craft, enjoying music together or simply having a chat. In addition, the students seek to advocate for those living with dementia, educating the wider community by sharing their experiences.

In Term 3 the advocates began working on Amana Living’s innovative music program Tune into Life, designed to help older people with dementia reconnect with loved ones and lost memories through music.

As part of this program, our students received training from a music therapist so that they could help create personalised playlists for the residents and assist in the delivery of individual and music therapy sessions.

Our Year 10 students have also supported the Amana Living Tune into Life iPod Drive, reaching out to the 28

THE DOVE GOAL 2

Amana Living’s Tune into Life program is inspired by the US Music and Memories initiative which has helped thousands of individuals living with dementia and other chronic cognitive and physical conditions.

“This year we’ve decided to expand the program across our care centres in Perth with the support of schools like All Saints’ College who are getting involved by donating iPods to the program as well as giving of their time. In the case of Lefroy Care Centre, the students are also involved in creating the playlists for the residents, which will see an even greater level of interaction and companionship for our residents,” she said.

Through their ongoing visits to the Lefroy Care Centre, the Year 10s have developed strong relationships both with the residents and staff. The Tune into Life program provides an extension to the thriving partnership, and also presents another opportunity for our students to serve those in need.

CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF MINDFULNESS “I enjoy mindfulness because it is a way to calm down, relax and feel better.” (Year 5 student) As we aim to cultivate a culture of mindfulness at All Saints’ College, 2017 has seen the inclusion of Mindfulness programs in targeted year levels across both campuses.

In the Junior School, classes from Pre-Primary to Year 6 have been participating in a pilot Mindfulness program developed and facilitated by Ms Jennifer Winley, a trained and experienced mindfulness teacher for children and adolescents and a College Music teacher.

This program sees our students engaged in two 25-minute sessions a week, focusing on Mindful Attention Training with a view to improving self-regulatory skills and self-efficacy.

All Year 5 students and a Year 4 class were the first to participate in the sessions throughout Term 1. Together they unpacked the mindful ‘toolbox’ and enjoyed activities such as engaging our five senses, noticing where we feel our emotions, understanding how our brains work, mindful eating, self-calming and emotional regulation tools, and techniques for maintaining attention and focus.

The following term all Year 2s and a Pre-Primary class explored what it feels like to be mindful and got to know their ‘Puppy Minds’.

Some early feedback has indicated that these sessions have helped to guide students towards a greater sense of awareness and understanding of their own internal landscapes, improving their ability to pay attention and settle down, and to notice and articulate their feelings.

“I think learning about mindfulness is helpful because when I get distracted, I nearly always bring myself back to what I am doing.” (Year 4 student) In the Senior School, a formal Mindfulness component has been introduced to weekly Life Skills lessons in Years 7 to 10. This is in addition to the Mindfulness elective for Year 11 Religion and Philosophy students and the Stillness and Silence activities that have been included in Years 7 to 10 Religion and Philosophy for many years.

The Mindfulness program used in Life Skills is called the MAT Toolbox, created by local Mindfulness expert, Fiona Gauntlett. Fiona’s work is used widely throughout Australia and is designed to meet the specific developmental needs of Years 7 to 12 students. We are pleased to have forged a strong relationship with Fiona, and her guidance and expertise have been instrumental in developing our Mindfulness programs throughout the College.

To help enrich, support and extend our Mindfulness initiatives at the College, we were fortunate to have Australian psychologist, Mindfulness expert and author, Dr Richard Chambers, visit All Saints’ on Wednesday, 17 May as part of our Djaaliny Community Learning Program.

Dr Chambers worked throughout the day with teachers in select groups on mindful practice and implementing mindfulness in classrooms. Then in the evening he spoke about mindfulness to College parents and the wider community in our Chapel.

“When we have Mindfulness, I feel relaxed and refreshed, and also feel special in some way.” (Year 5 student)

‘A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE’ AND PROVIDES WARM BEDS FOR DOGS IN NEED RAINBOW DAY CELEBRATES DIFFERENCES AND RAISES AWARENESS OF AUTISM Our Junior School community celebrated its unique differences with a special ‘Rainbow Day’ event in early June, lifting awareness of autism and raising funds for Nulsen Disability Services.

The fundraiser was organised by Year 5 student, Charlotte Clinckers, who wanted to raise awareness of those living with autism and highlight that we are all different with unique qualities that make us who we are.

On Rainbow Day students and staff came to the College wearing bright and colourful clothing for a gold coin donation, with all proceeds from this important initiative donated to Nulsen – an organisation with which the College has developed a strong partnership.

To advertise Rainbow Day, Charlotte spoke at a Years 3 – 6 Junior School 30

THE DOVE GOAL 2

Assembly about some of the challenges experienced by people with autism.

Charlotte explained that autism is a developmental disorder which affects people in three main areas: communicating with others, behavioural challenges and social interactions.

“It is not a disease, and it is not contagious because you are born with it. Autism has no cure, so if you have it then you live with it!” she said.

“No two people with autism have it the same. It affects everybody differently.”

At the final Years 3 – 6 Junior School Assembly for Term 2, Charlotte presented a cheque for $1 102.70 to a representative from Nulsen, who was extremely grateful for our generous community and praised Charlotte for raising awareness of autism with this creative idea of Rainbow Day.

A group of Junior School sewing enthusiasts who love dogs combined their interests during the cocurricular afterschool club called “Love Dogs?” held earlier this year.

Over the course of a number of weeks, the students came together to enjoy each other’s company while sewing a sweatshirt in a way that made a comfortable bed for a dog.

In the spirit of Service Learning, we decided to donate our finished beds to a refuge home for dogs. Participant, Charlotte Whittaker (Year 6), suggested we contact the Shenton Park Dogs’ Refuge Home to see if they would be interested in our beds, and the Manager said they could be sold to

people who had made the commitment to give a dog a new home.

Before presenting them to the Shenton Park organisation, we enjoyed sending a bed home with some of our teachers to test out on their beloved dogs...and even a cat! The beds proved to be a hit with both our canine and feline friends. So much so, that Miss Chatto still has a bed at her house because her new puppy just couldn’t give it back!

The students presented the beds to a volunteer from the dogs’ refuge (and a four-legged friend) at an Assembly during Term 2. Both were very happy to receive our heartfelt gifts.

GROWING OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH BAYULU A group of our Years 11 and 12 students and staff leaders travelled to the College’s partner organisation, Bayulu Remote Community School in the Kimberley, to provide one-on-one tuition and mentoring to indigenous children during the July holidays.

In its second year, this All Saints’ College Service Learning program is run in partnership with Teach Learn Grow (TLG), an organisation which aims to bridge the gap in education between indigenous and nonindigenous students in Western Australia.

Fifteen All Saints’ students, accompanied by Ms Brette Lockyer, Mr Tim Russell and Mrs Sue Watt, were selected to take part in the College’s weeklong TLG Bayulu Trip this year, which coincided with NAIDOC Week.

During the trip our All Saints’ students worked in classes, played sport, cooked damper, engaged in Mathematics games and threaded beads with the Bayulu children.

They also used their time outside of classes to make sandwiches for excursions, plan lessons and reflect on their experiences.

Year 12 student and TLG participant, Mitchell HughesOwen, said the All Saints’ students had the opportunity to learn a lot about indigenous culture.

“This ranged from learning how to make bush medicine and damper to learning about the history of Gooniyandi, Walmajarri and surrounding indigenous people. On top of that, it also meant visits from the local rangers and elders to help us learn about the local fauna and flora,” he commented.

Students also enjoyed exploring the local sights, including trips to Mimbi Caves and Geikie Gorge, as well as visiting the original cave school and Bayulu community, allowing them to be fully immersed in the beautiful North West of Australia in a way that isn’t possible as a normal tourist.

“Over the week we built this bond with the Bayulu students and, being the second year, we got to see that we had made an impression on them. I’m sure all of us on the program will cherish these memories that we made and they will stay with us for a long time.”

‘ANIMAL-LIKE’ STUDENTS TAKE THE STAGE FOR ANNUAL PRODUCTION One of the many cocurricular Arts opportunities provided to our Senior School students is the annual All Saints’ College Production.

In 2017, the Years 9 to 13 student cast brought the classic George Orwell novella, Animal Farm, to the Centre for Performing Arts (CPA) stage with three successful shows to conclude Term 2.

Based on events leading up to the Russian Revolution and followed by the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, the famous political satire depicts a rising revolt among animals that wish to take over from humans.

Director of Animal Farm and Head of the Arts at All Saints’, Mr Stephen Roberts, said the students were challenged with creating the animal-like characters.

“The production offered an opportunity for the actors to present these animals with physical dexterity on our stage (there were no prosthetic snouts, tails etc). The actors were tasked with manipulating their bodies and souls, and committing to bring the attributes of the beasts to the stage,” said Mr Roberts.

Faisal Hamza (Year 11), who co-played lead character Napoleon, said that participating in the College production was a great opportunity.

THE DOVE GOAL 2

“As a young actor and artist, it feels great to be doing something so unique and to be part of projects like this because they don’t come around often,” he said.

As well as acting roles, our students fulfilled many other positions, such as backstage crew members, lighting and sound technicians, and CPA ushers.

The All Saints’ production of Animal Farm was adapted

by Olivier Award-winning actor, Guy Masterson, while he was undertaking a residency as part of the College’s arts initiative, The HotHouse Company, earlier this year.

Not only were our students fortunate to benefit from Guy’s expertise, they also worked with 2017 HotHouse Company collaborator and movement specialist, Lisa Scott-Murphy, on their realistic characterisations.

Assistant Directors Lauryn Gilchrist and Carina Tabuteau (Year 12) explained, “None of this would have come together without Guy Masterson’s audition workshop or Lisa Scott-Murphy’s assistance, helping our cast really get ‘wild’ with their characterisation.”

The College congratulates the students and staff and many wonderful parent volunteers involved in this year’s remarkable production. We can’t wait to see what is in store for next year!

This art exhibition, driven by Senior School Art teacher, Ms Louise Elscot, provided another opportunity for the College to further strengthen our connection with Nulsen and support their work of engaging residents in art as a form of expression.

Nulsen was established 61 years ago and is one of Western Australia’s leading disability services organisations, providing support and care for people of all ages with complex disabilities.

Many thanks to Ms Shelley Brookland (Senior School Art Technician), Mrs Natasha Saunders (Acting Head of Service Learning, Semester 1) and Ms Elscot for the many hours they put into making this exhibition such a success.

“Yoga has been a great way for me to relieve my stress and relax in the present; my mind shifts away from worrying about the past and/or anticipating the future.”

(ASC Yoga Club participant) This ancient discipline has been practised across the world for thousands of years, and now students at All Saints’ College have the wonderful opportunity to experience the immense benefits and power of yoga.

Early in 2017, Year 8 tutor and Humanities teacher, Mr John Hunt, developed a Yoga Club at the College to allow students to become more mindful and self-confident.

“I believe in the transformative, healing, rejuvenating, restorative and uplifting powers of yoga. Therefore, when the College overwhelmingly supported my proposal to establish a Yoga Club, I was overjoyed,” said Mr Hunt.

There are many ways that regular yoga practice can contribute to a person’s positive wellbeing and balanced life. Apart from the obvious physical benefits such as increasing mobility, flexibility, body awareness and building stronger muscles and bones, yoga can also help mentally and spiritually.

The mental benefits are particularly helpful for young people today who are growing up in a world with advanced technology and pressures from social media, as well as added stress from schoolwork and other commitments.

“Yoga can boost self-esteem and self-confidence; it also controls aggression and helps students express their emotions better by training the mind to tackle stress.

Relieving and controlling stress in the teenage years is a very useful skill set to have, particularly with that test or exam around the corner,” he said.

What began as a fun Power Yoga activity for Mr Hunt in 2013 soon turned into an opportunity for him to embark on a personal journey of learning and growth. Three years later Mr Hunt attended a 12-day intensive teachertraining course at Byron Bay Yoga Centre and then brought his knowledge and skills back to the College to share with our students.

The Yoga Club has doubled in numbers since the first class in February 2017, with around 20 boys and girls currently participating each week.

All students in Years 7 to 9 are welcome to join the cocurricular club held every Thursday morning from 7.30am to 8.20am in the Years 5/6 Building.

EQUESTRIAN TEAM SUCCESS All Saints’ College is immensely proud of our cocurricular Equestrian Team which has achieved success both on and off the track this year, highlighting their great skills and dedication to the sport.

The team, comprising Emma Cumming (Year 10), Grace Clavey (Year 12), Teagan Ettridge (Year 10) and Phoebe North (Year 12), received several distinguished top-10 placings at the 2017 Equestrian Western Australia (EWA) Interschool Championships held in Brigadoon.

From 20 to 22 April, hundreds of students from schools across the state competed (individually and in teams) in the equestrian disciplines of Dressage, Jumping, Show Horse, Combined Training, Vaulting and Eventing.

Congratulations to Emma and Phoebe who finished as Champions in the Advanced and Preliminary Dressage categories respectively. Well done also to Teagan who received notable placings in the Eventing (a combination of Dressage, Cross Country and Show Jumping) and Novice Dressage categories.

The team’s Manager and College parent, Mrs Wendy Cumming, said the All Saints’ equestrians are high performing athletes who need to maintain a high level of fitness to compete at this level.

“The riders must have very good core strength, stamina and muscle development in very riding-specific ways.

Most importantly they must have mental fortitude and resilience,” Mrs Cumming commented.

“Equestrian sport is unique in that there are two athletes involved. The riders are responsible not only for their own fitness and training, but also for the fitness and training of their partner, the horse,” she said.

The All Saints’ Equestrian Team has secured numerous accolades at the state championships in previous years, including Show Jumping Reserve Champion and Dressage Reserve Champion in 2016, and Champion Eventing Team and Overall Reserve Champion School in 2015. In addition to this, our riders have competed at many national Equestrian Australia Championships, achieving notable placings in a range of disciplines.

Emma, Grace, Teagan and Phoebe’s numerous equestrian achievements, along with their commitment and dedication to the sport, have contributed to them being selected to take part in the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) Developing Champions Program, designed to support young athletes in their skill development.

Our students are among 24 elite young riders selected

by EWA to take part in this two-year program, which began earlier this year and includes the completion of online modules, as well as four workshops with WAIS athletes and state sporting associations.

All our College equestrians began riding at an early age and currently train between 8 and 15 hours per week on their own properties or various facilities around Perth.

Our talented Jazz Saints, one of the College’s many cocurricular Music ensembles, had the opportunity to perform in Perth’s premier Jazz venue, The Ellington, in September this year.

A LEADER OF TOMORROW Year 10 student and leader of tomorrow, Juliet Morris, was one of only 30 students selected to participate in the prestigious Curtin University Sir Charles Court Young Leaders Program earlier this year.

Established in 1999, the program provides selected Year 10 students with an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and build confidence in their own abilities through self-awareness, goal-setting, teamwork, problemsolving, and awareness of global and local issues.

As part of the program, the students attended an intensive and exciting four-day leadership camp in early April, where they were exposed to a number of challenging activities and heard from inspirational guest speakers, whilst having a lot of fun.

To celebrate the conclusion of the program, the young leaders participated in a Graduation Ceremony held at the university.

Juliet said the most enjoyable part of the program was forming friendships with the people with whom she shared this experience.

“The like-minded people I met from all across the state were so positive, encouraging and fun, which made the camp all the more enjoyable,” she said.

She also learnt a lot about the different types of leadership and how they work best in certain situations.

“Being a leader isn’t easy, as it can be personally challenging or stressful with a larger responsibility,” she commented.

“Leadership isn’t just about standing in front of a crowd speaking. It is so many different things, such as standing up when something isn’t right and having the integrity to help positively influence someone else.”

Under the direction of All Saints’ Music tutor, Mr Jeremy Trezona, the Jazz ensemble performed a range of seminal standards and reinterpreted classics by artists such as Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver, Michael Jackson, Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse.

The talented young musicians were supported by an appreciative audience of family members, friends and College staff at the event.

The Jazz Saints have enjoyed a busy performance schedule this year, including workshops with staff from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA); Jazz and Paella Picnic on The Common with more than 200 audience members; the College’s Instrumental Camp; WA Schools’ Jazz Festival and, finally their exceptional performance at The Ellington Jazz Club.

Juliet plans to further her education after graduating from All Saints’, hoping to study an Early Childhood Education degree.

Around 160 students from across the state who display academic ability, leadership potential and an interest in helping the wider community applied for this year’s program.

G AL3 A TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF

Caring, dedicated mentors and supportive colleagues, committed to innovation, learning and review

Mrs Janet Brown

Mrs Anne Miller

Over the past two and half decades, Mrs Janet Brown has been a dedicated and caring teacher at All Saints’ College.

Mrs Anne Miller joined All Saints’ teaching staff in 2005. Prior to this she had been an active parent helper, a member of the ASC Ladies Forum and a regular relief teacher in the Junior School.

Janet commenced at the College in 1992, teaching Mathematics part time, becoming a full-time teacher in 1994. She was Head of Murdoch House (initially in an acting capacity) from 1995 to 1999. In 2012 Janet took on the role of Relief Coordinator, which she carried out until the end of 2015.

Over the next 12 years, Anne taught a variety of year groups across the Junior School, most recently Years 1 and 2, and was Head of Molloy House (2008 – 2009).

Janet undertook every role she had at All Saints’ with great skill and attention to detail, showing care and compassion for all students and her colleagues.

Towards the end of 2013, Janet was officially recognised for making a difference in the lives of students with a learning and/or attentional disorder, when she was presented with a Valued Teacher Award from the Learning and Attentional Disorders Society of WA. As Janet reflected on the past 25 years, she marvelled at all the other experiences she enjoyed as a member of the All Saints’ community.

“Apart from the joy of teaching Mathematics in the classroom over all of those years, being a member of our All Saints’ community also afforded me many opportunities to be a participant in a wide range of wonderful camps and activities, including canoeing solo through rapids and down mini waterfalls along the Collie River, abseiling down the cliffs from the top of Wilyabrup and Bluff Knoll, sailing a two-man yacht along the coast around Albany, and bush dancing and dressing up in crazy costumes with our Year 12 retreaters,” she said.

“No wonder the years have flown by – so full of a diversity of activities and wonderful camaraderie. I have had the time of my life here, and the All Saints’ College community will always have a special place in my heart.”

Anne was also the Waterwise Coordinator in the Junior School, leading the implementation of various sustainable programs, which included reducing bathroom tap water usage and raising awareness in the community about the value of water and being waterwise. Her dedication in this area saw the Junior School officially declared a Waterwise School by the Water Corporation in September 2011.

Her passion for nature and the natural world saw her embrace the Year 1 Bush School initiative, enabling her classes to spend valuable time outside learning through their experiences in the natural environment. She worked closely with families to maximise each child’s learning in her care. Her dedication to young children’s learning and growth is much appreciated.

After enjoying a period of long service leave during Semester 1 this year, Anne made the decision to retire. Her care, dedication, energy and positivity – amongst many other qualities – will be greatly missed by all. We are grateful for the many years of service Anne gave to the College and we look forward to her returning from time to time as a relief teacher.

We thank Anne most sincerely and wish her well in her retirement as she enjoys more time with her husband, Peter, and two children, Andrew (2003) and Stephanie (2006).

At the end of Semester 1 this year, Janet made the decision to ‘enter uncharted waters’ as a retiree and is looking forward to spending more time with her children, Kristen (2000) and Duncan (2001), and grandchildren.

GREATER GOOD SCIENCE CENTER SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATORS The All Saints’ College Restless Curiosity program is designed to support the ongoing learning of our staff by providing opportunities to engage in formal studies and travel abroad for professional learning experiences.

A

Most recently Miss Lauren Smith (Year 6 teacher) and Mrs Sue Wilson (College Psychologist) travelled to California for the Greater Good Science Center Summer Institute for Educators, at the University of California, Berkeley.

Held in July each year, this six-day program brings together education professionals from across the world to learn science-based strategies, tools and techniques to promote social and emotional wellbeing within their classrooms and communities.

During their time at the Institute Lauren and Sue attended brief lectures on the science and practice of social and emotional wellbeing; engaged in thought-provoking workshops, discussions and collaborative strategy sessions; and enjoyed the opportunity to self-reflect and to develop connections with fellow participants.

THE DOVE GOAL 3

Some of the conference themes and learning included: Creating a safe learning environment; Caring for ourselves and building our own social-emotional competencies; Using the science of empathy and

compassions to build a positive school climate; and, Student prosocial development.

RESTLESS CURIOSITY TEAM-TEACHERS TRAVEL TO TIBETAN PARTNER SCHOOL All Saints’ provides many self-development and growth opportunities for its staff through the Restless Curiosity program, sponsored by the College Foundation.

Reflecting on her experience at the Institute, Lauren said that a highlight for her was the workshop on self-care.

Earlier this year Mrs Natasha Saunders and I were fortunate to be the 2017 Restless Curiosity team-teachers invited to work with the teachers at the College’s partner Tibetan school in Paonta Sahib, North India.

“We have all experienced first-hand how demanding our careers can be, and so the importance of self-care really resonated with me,” said Lauren.

For the last week of Term 1 and the first week of the April school holidays, I was able to combine two of my passions – travelling and teaching.

“From this experience I learned the science behind prosocial behaviour and have developed a bank of resources and strategies that will not only improve my life, but will also make a positive difference to the students and colleagues with whom I work,” she said.

At the Tibetan school, I was assigned to team teach with Lobsang Choedon, a Class 4/5 teacher, while Natasha, who participated in the inaugural team-teaching trip in 2016, spent most of her time in the Senior School.

Since returning from the professional learning experience, Sue said her goal is to work with other College participants who have previously attended the Institute.

“I would like to work together with the other ASC participants to conduct a needs analysis of Social and Emotional Learning at the College, and using what we have learned to address areas that require further support,” said Sue. “This experience extended my knowledge of Social and Emotional Learning with current evidence-based practice, and I thank the College and the Foundation for providing such an opportunity.”

When travelling, I often compare what I have back home to what I am experiencing in the place that I am visiting. In Paonta Sahib the simple buildings and facilities are completely the opposite of what we have available to us at the College.

What really stood out was the dedication and enthusiasm of the teachers. The children are their number one concern and the teachers are eager to learn new or different ways to optimise their students’ learning. Their emphasis is on the students reaching their full potential to be future global citizens.

The children at the Tibetan school were amazing – eager to learn new things and receptive to any challenge that was put in front of them. When it was recess or lunch,

they would rush out of class to play games, soccer or just be with their friends, exactly like the children I teach. The children’s thirst and desire to learn to speak and read in English was palpable. They would jump at any opportunity to read and to practise their English, something I feel as a native English speaker I take for granted. And they were very excited to receive their new pencil cases supplied by Cerys Webb (Year 4).

The Tibetan community was warm and welcoming, and we were both included in many of the local activities.

Along with the whole community, we were invited to a local wedding which included lunch time celebrations and a dinner later in the evening.

In Kolkata and New Delhi, Natasha and I visited the various schools and places the Year 10s and 11s will be visiting during the inaugural student-immersion expedition this coming December/January. In Kolkata we went to the Memorial House of Mother Teresa which felt like a sanctuary in amongst the craziness of the streets of the city.

I feel fortunate to have travelled to India and experienced a portion of the educational and cultural diversity of the sub-continent. I would like to thank the Leadership Team and College Foundation for allowing me to participate in this amazing and worthwhile experience, the College’s second team-teaching Restless Curiosity India trip.

TEACHERS DONATE SWAGS TO HELP PERTH HOMELESS STAFF MAKE FLEECE ‘NO-SEW’ BLANKETS FOR ANGLICARE The All Saints’ College Textiles room was recently jampacked with staff tying knots and preparing fleece rugs for the inaugural Blankets for Anglicare event.

Twenty staff members from across the campus came together on a Friday afternoon earlier this year to create ‘no-sew’ blankets for distribution by Anglicare WA. With only two pieces of fleece, a ruler, a pair of scissors and their hands, the team of staff created 12 blankets in just over an hour for this very worthy cause.

The idea for this event was developed

by Year 2 teacher, Mrs Caryn Ebstein, as she wanted more staff to get involved in creating blankets for those less fortunate in our community.

“We tried to promote how easy the method was and that the afternoon would also be lots of fun and wouldn’t be taxing on the brain!” said Caryn.

THE DOVE GOAL 3

“The afternoon was exactly that – with lots of fun and chatting. Many of the staff who were involved said that the experience was also very relaxing. An added bonus was that others came up with more ways to make the blankets.”

The blanket donations were delivered during the July school holidays by Mrs Ebstein and Mrs Natasha Saunders (Acting Head of Service Learning, Semester 1) to Anglicare.

Natasha said this event was significant and will have a positive impact on the people who received the blankets.

“It was also special to our staff as it connected people from all areas of the College in a very joyous way.

Thank you to everyone involved, including the amazing ASC Staff Knitting and Crochet team who kindly donated their blankets to the same cause,” said Natasha.

Well done to all the staff involved in the first of what we hope will be many Blankets for Anglicare events held at the College.

A group of All Saints’ teachers is helping Perth homeless people keep warm with a donation of 86 Street Swags to The Salvation Army.

The ‘All Saints’ Salamanders’ comprising Miss Britt Gray, Mr Russ Haxby, Mr Mitch Jamieson and Mr Damien Stevens, conquered the Rottnest Channel Swim earlier this year and raised more than $6 000 for the purchase of the Street Swags.

The swags were donated to The Salvation Army in Term 2 and will be distributed throughout the year during the organisation’s Evening Street Outreach Service, which provides hot meals, blankets and transport services for the homeless around Perth.

Assistant Corps Officer from The Salvation Army Perth Fortress, Lt Ben Hollis, said the swags are a great option, should they be unable to find

someone accommodation for the night.

“The swags help fend off some of the cold, rain and wind. They also help mentally and socially, as people get the sense that someone cares enough for them to buy these swags, so they might be able to sleep more easily while they work towards a long-term solution,” he said.

The Street Swags are lightweight, waterproof canvas bags which contain a high-density foam mattress, as well as a hygiene and first aid essentials pack, and are manufactured by men and women in correctional services facilities across Australia.

All Saints’ College and The Salvation Army have an ongoing partnership developed through our Service Learning program, which sees a group of Year 10 students serve food to the homeless around Perth city during the Morning Street Outreach Service.

CPA THEATRE MANAGER SHARES HIS EXPERTISE WITH STUDENTS The College’s Centre for Performing Arts (CPA) Theatre Manager (Technical and Customer Service), Mr Geoff Glencross, shared his extensive knowledge and experience with our Senior School Drama classes by running several workshops for them last term.

Geoff carried out two Lighting Design Workshops for our Year 11s to reinforce several aspects of the Drama ATAR course. Through this hands-on experience with an array of technological equipment, the students created lighting designs and discovered the different ways in which light can be produced.

In Year 10 Drama, Geoff helped our students design original lighting states and implement technical components to enhance their in-class performances of reimagined scenes. They also learnt about the history of lighting and safe technical theatre practices, experimented with manipulating and programming lights, and workshopped the effects these technical elements had on creating mood, atmosphere and senses of time and place.

“I believe my workshops provided the students with a very good understanding of basic technical theatre practices, which will allow them to think differently when they watch a production, so they can analyse and appreciate the technical elements as well as the acting,” said Geoff.

“I have had some positive feedback from some of the students who said they loved the workshops. Laura in Year 11 was very keen to tell me about the show she had watched the night after my workshop, and commented on how she engaged with the technical aspects of the production,” he said.

At the College, Geoff specialises in the Lighting Design for all external and College productions and performances held in our CPA. He also operates and programs all the Technical Audio Visual and Lighting elements for events at the College, working alongside Mr Adrian Arnold (CPA Theatre Manager – Facility and Administration) who specialises in Set Design and Construction, and Technical Production.

Geoff has an extensive background and passion for the Arts which began in high school and led to the completion of a Stage Management (Production & Design) course at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where he received the Theatre Industry Award upon graduation.

Fresh out of his studies, Geoff began working as Assistant Stage Manager for the new State Theatre Company of WA, which involved a year-long season of 12 productions. He then went on to become the Technical Manager at Queens Park Theatre where he met his now wife. After numerous roles in theatre companies around Perth in the mid-90s, Geoff and his wife relocated to the United Kingdom for nine years where he enjoyed a number of different roles (theatre automation), including working in West End Theatres on many well-known shows.

Upon his return to Perth, Geoff entered the educational field, working as a Technical Theatre Manager at Murdoch University in the Nexus Theatre, and then as the Theatre Technician/Technical Events Coordinator at Hale School. Last year, he joined us at All Saints’, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience to our College.

ARCHERY CHAMP SECURES TOP FIVE FINISH Having practised the sport of archery for less than a year, Mrs Monique Ellement (Senior School Mathematics teacher) has impressively placed third in WA and 23rd nationally in the 2017 Archery Australia National Indoor Championships.

On Sunday, 23 July Monique joined fellow archers to compete using the same indoor rounds in state competitions across Australia, with all results compared on the same day.

Monique said she enjoys the sport of archery as it requires concentration and focus, whilst performing her best technique with every shot.

“I find it extremely relaxing and I enjoy improving on my previous results,” she commented.

Before competing in the nine-hour WA competition held at Warwick Stadium, Monique had been practising every other night on her five-acre property. She also shoots at the Bowmen of Melville club.

“It is the most sociable club around and I really enjoy the company of all the members. I would like to thank my coach, Chris Binyon, for all his time, advice and belief in me that I could place in the top five at states,” said Monique.

This was the second competition in which Monique has participated, with the first event taking place only five months after she took up the bow and arrow. In the outdoors ‘Fletchlings Tournament’, she came in second place against other beginners – another notable achievement.

Congratulations to Junior School teacher Mrs Amelia Baker and husband Jock on the arrival of their first child, Rosie Matilda Baker.

CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE During six months of this year, local professional photographer, Jon Green, was welcomed into our community to capture the ‘essence’ of All Saints’ College as part of The HotHouse Company residency.

G AL4 A CONNECTED COMMUNITY Thriving through partnership

As the company’s inaugural Photographer-in-Residence, Jon (who has more than 27 years’ experience) visited the College campus once a week and regularly attended significant events and activities to capture the many facets of life at All Saints’.

The six-month residency culminated in the Essence exhibition which was officially opened in our Centre for Performing Arts on Wednesday, 13 September. More than 100 guests attended this event to view the 70 photographic prints on display and hundreds of images captured during the residency in two eBooks, The HotHouse Company and All Saints’ College.

During his time with us, Jon also provided a unique opportunity for our students to pose for a portrait photograph to highlight their passions or something significant about them that sets them apart as an individual.

The results were captivating, with some students bringing in props such as musical instruments, sporting equipment, books, dancing shoes and even a pet dog!

“What has emerged as a result of his residency is stunning, and I will be forever grateful for Jon’s kindness, patience, and dedication to capturing a moment. His keen eye for detail and creative mind make for a truly potent combination, and I am particularly appreciative of the time he has taken in interpreting our College in such a unique and honest way,” said Mr Roberts.

Head of the Arts and The HotHouse Company, Mr Stephen Roberts, said he first connected with Jon when he was commissioned to take some photographs for the launch of the company’s website.

“The gift of the Essence Exhibition and eBooks is something that we can treasure and celebrate, and will exist long after we leave,” he said.

“Jon was inspirational and the students and staff he worked with loved the experience. As we packed up the studio, I asked if he had ever considered doing a

OUR NEW HOUSE LOGOS The House system at All Saints’ College forms part of our Pastoral Care program and provides opportunities for all students to participate in academic, sporting and cultural competitions throughout the year.

Each student is a member of one of our six Houses – Cowan, Durack, Forrest, Murdoch, O’Connor and Stirling – named after people who have made a significant contribution to the history of Western Australia.

This year, after an extensive period of consultation, the College made the decision to refresh and bring greater alignment to our House logos, which were designed in the early 80s (and 90s for Cowan and Durack).

In designing the new logos, the College was conscious of respecting the meaning and heritage of each House, whilst also maintaining the consistent look and feel of the All Saints’ ‘branding’. It was also important for the new designs to be suitable for all applications, including online and printing of posters and banners, and on material (eg t-shirts).

We are very pleased to unveil to our community the College’s refreshed House logos, which will be phased in across All Saints’ publications and signage this year and into 2018.

Original House logos

COWAN HOUSE

FORREST HOUSE (GREEN) (EST. 1981)

(PURPLE) (EST. 1994)

Cowan House is named in memory of Edith Cowan (1861-1932), a social reformer and the first woman to be elected to an Australian parliament. In 1920, WA passed legislation allowing women to stand for parliament and Cowan won the seat of West Perth in 1921.

As the first woman to enter parliament in Australia, Cowan fought for changes to legislation to give women greater legal rights. Edith Cowan University is named in her honour and her image appears on the $50.00 note.

In the updated Cowan House logo, we have included one Sergeant-at-Arms’ mace and added another important symbol of WA Parliament, the Black Rod. These elements are also present in the Parliament of Western Australia’s logo. The refreshed Cowan House logo also contains a simplified version of Australia’s Coat of Arms.

In the refreshed Forrest House logo, the compass, reflecting Forrest’s profession as an explorer, has been maintained and simplified. The shape of the logo has been altered from a shield to a circular format, which is more reflective of a compass.

DURACK HOUSE (WHITE) (EST. 1994) Durack House is named after the Durack family who pioneered the West Australian Kimberley region by establishing large stations near Kununurra. The family included Mary Durack (1913-1994), a prominent writer, and Elizabeth Durack (1915-2000), a painter and illustrator.

The main element of the boab tree (unique to the WA Kimberley region and Northern Territory) has been modernised in the refreshed Durack House logo. The boab tree is easily recognised by the swollen base of its trunk and pays homage to the legacy of the Durack family.

48

THE DOVE GOAL 4

STIRLING HOUSE (BLUE) (EST. 1981)

Forrest House is named in honour of Sir John Forrest (1847-1918) a West Australian-born explorer, and outstanding political and administrative figure. In 1890 when WA was granted its own constitution and responsible government, Forrest was appointed as the first Premier. He led a number of expeditions exploring uncharted territory inland from Perth during the mid to late 1800s. In 1901 he resigned as Premier and entered the new Commonwealth Parliament where he served in several senior roles.

Stirling House is named in memory of the first Governor of Western Australia, Sir James Stirling (1791-1865) who was born in Scotland and served in the Royal Navy. In 1827 Stirling was responsible for early exploration of the area around the Swan River and in 1829 he returned with the first settlers aboard the Parmelia.

O’CONNOR HOUSE (YELLOW) (EST. 1981)

MURDOCH HOUSE

(RED) (EST. 1981)

Murdoch House takes its name from prominent Australian academic and essayist, Emeritus Professor Sir Walter Murdoch (1874-1970), who was the foundation Professor of English at the University of Western Australia, where he later served as Chancellor. Murdoch was born on 17 September 1874 in Rosehearty, Scotland, where he spent the first decade of his life. In 1970, just before his death, Murdoch was told of the government’s plan to name the second university in WA after him.

The revamped Murdoch House logo still retains the key element of a thistle, which has been modernised and simplified in the new version. The thistle flower is the most identifiable symbol of Scotland and has been the national emblem of the country since the reign of Alexander III (1249-1286).

O’Connor House takes its name from Charles Yelverton O’Connor (1843-1902). O’Connor was the engineer responsible for designing Fremantle Harbour and the construction of the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme.

The shape of the original Stirling logo has been maintained in the updated design. Both the original and updated logos contain the same elements of an anchor and rope, representing Stirling’s profession.

In the refreshed logo, the rope is intertwined in the anchor, subtly forming an ‘S’ shape for Stirling.

In 1891 O’Connor was offered the position of Engineer in Chief in WA and tasked with improving Fremantle Harbour to accommodate large steam ships. He was also responsible for providing a water supply to the Goldfields following the discovery of gold at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the late 1800s. Despite the setbacks and O’Connor’s untimely death, the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme was completed in January 1903.

The same shape and elements (cogs and wheat stems) have been maintained in the updated O’Connor House logo. These elements reflect O’Connor’s profession as an engineer and the pipeline he designed which runs through the WA Wheatbelt.

SYMBOLIC EXHIBITION CONNECTS PARISH AND COLLEGE COMMUNITIES For the past four years, All Saints’ College and the Anglican Parish of Bull Creek-Leeming have presented a symbolic Art exhibition representing the final moments of Jesus’ life.

Held around Easter this year, the Stations of the Cross exhibition featured artworks depicting the 14 stations (or events) that led to the crucifixion of Jesus.

Our Years 5 and 6 students conveyed the meaning behind the stations by using pastels, charcoal and paints to create artworks during their Religion and Philosophy classes.

For the first time the wider community had the opportunity to meditate and pray on the Stations of the Cross, with the exhibition on display at Bull Creek Stockland Shopping Centre prior to Easter Sunday.

The week before the works were presented on the grassed area outside the Junior School Lower Theatre for our College community to reflect on the meaning of Jesus’ passion and crucifixion.

Stations of the Cross was initiated at the College in 2014 by Bull Creek-Leeming Parish Priest, Rev Bruce Hyde, to allow the All Saints’ and Parish communities to engage in the Easter message in a new way.

The College shares its Chapel with the Anglican Parish of Bull Creek-Leeming, and this exhibition is just one of the many ways in which our two communities regularly come together.

COOKING FOR THE HOMELESS BRINGS COMMUNITY TOGETHER Mrs Tracey Ash

College community members have joined together to ‘cook up a storm’ for those in need this year, as part of a new Service Learning initiative developed by our Parents and Friends’ Society (P&F).

Cooking for the Homeless has been held once a term in the College’s Home Economics room, with volunteers cooking large quantities of meals for The Salvation Army to distribute to people living on the streets in Perth.

In early April around 25 College parents, students and staff took part in the first cooking event, making more than 200 servings of the classic favourite, Shepherd’s Pie. The P&F decided to expand the second Cooking for the Homeless day in June to include a morning and afternoon session, with the volunteers doubling their efforts and donating around 420 individual meals.

At the most recent event in Term 3, it was wonderful to see around 50 College volunteers produce 450 meals, for which the Perth homeless and The Salvation Army were incredibly grateful.

P&F President and College parent, Mrs Tracey Ash, said one of the Society’s main objectives is to build a sense of community.

P&F HOST ‘BLACK & WHITE’ QUIZ NIGHT The annual Parents and Friends’ Society (P&F) Quiz Night is a highlight of the All Saints’ College social calendar.

“The Cooking for the Homeless program allows us all to come together, to get to know one another and have a better understanding of who we are as a College community,” she commented.

More than 240 College community members, dressed in their best ‘Black and White’ ensembles, came together for this year’s event held on Friday, 28 April in the Dance Studio.

The concept of cooking meals for The Salvation Army’s Street Outreach program was proposed to the P&F by the College’s Head of Service Learning, Mr Tim Russell, earlier last year.

Attendees tested their general knowledge by answering a range of questions from the ‘Quiz Master’, in the hope of winning some wonderful prizes and awards.

They also enjoyed visiting the photo booth (a new addition this year) to capture the many enjoyable moments throughout the evening.

The committee was eager to participate in this initiative, as they wanted to provide an opportunity for all College community members to engage in Service Learning. After months of planning and consultation, led by College parent and P&F Committee Member, Mrs Laurie Neill, the program came to fruition in Term 1 this year.

The P&F is grateful for the support of local businesses: Gilbert’s Fresh Market, Willetton Meats and Rossmoyne IGA; as well as the College family-owned companies, Perth Gourmet Trader and Stanlee Hospitality Supplies, for their support of this P&F project.

All College community members are invited to participate in upcoming P&F Cooking for the Homeless events. To register your interest, please email pandf@allsaints.wa.edu.au

A Silent Auction was held at the Quiz Night, organised by the staff and students who were travelling to Bayulu Remote Community School on the Teach Learn Grow (TLG) Trip a few months later. The group raised more than $1 440 for TLG, which facilitates the trip each year.

The 2017 P&F Quiz Night was a wonderful opportunity for new and existing College families, as well as staff and friends of the community, to come together for an enjoyable night out. We thank the team of parents which organised this year’s event and the wonderful volunteers who helped set up on the day.

LIVE-STREAMING ENHANCES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Understanding the diverse needs of the All Saints’ community, the College has provided another opportunity for engagement by livestreaming significant events held on campus throughout this year.

ANDY GRIFFITH’S ‘91-STOREY TREEHOUSE’ LAUNCHED AT ASC Thanks to our partnership with Dymocks Garden City, we were pleased to welcome Australia’s beloved children’s author, Andy Griffiths, and illustrator, Terry Denton, to All Saints’ College to release the seventh book in the popular Treehouse series.

Around 1 200 children and parents listened to Andy and Terry energetically discuss their latest instalment, 91-Storey Treehouse, during the sold-out event held in our Indoor Sports Centre on Wednesday, 16 August.

The popular Treehouse series features a mix of intricate drawings and words depicting Andy and Terry’s ‘wacky adventures’ in their ever-expanding treehouse. In their latest book they have added 13 new levels, which include the world’s most powerful whirlpool, a mashedpotato-and-gravy train and a human pinball machine!

Following their humorous presentation, Andy and Terry answered questions from the audience, posed for photographs with guests and signed hundreds of autographs.

A week later the College’s Community Relations Department launched a Facebook promotion, offering 15 genuine fans a unique A4 sketch created and signed

by Terry live on stage during the performance.

On 18 October this year, again due to our partnership with Dymocks Garden City, the College hosted Man Booker Prize Winner, Richard Flanagan, to launch his new novel First Person which is described as “compelling, comic and chilling, a haunting journey into the heart of our age”.

Stay tuned for exciting future All Saints’ and Dymocks shared events through our Facebook page (All Saints’ College WA) and website: www.allsaints.wa.edu.au

In May the College broadcasted the Choral Concert via YouTube, allowing those unable to attend the soldout performance to watch our choirs from Years 2 to 12 sing the works of Australian composers on our Centre for Performing Arts (CPA) stage.

This successful trial paved the way for future live-streaming, including the high-definition performance of Joanna Murray-Smith’s Switzerland, beamed directly from the State Theatre of WA into the CPA. Held on 1 September, this successful live broadcast was brought to our College community through The HotHouse Company’s partnership with Black Swan State Theatre Company (BSSTC).

In Term 3, the College community came together in person and online to support our students at the annual Junior School and Senior School Interhouse Athletics Carnivals.

A group of our staff and parents trialled live-streaming the Sports events via SEQTA, the All Saints’ teaching and learning online management system.

The team brought together footage and audio from a commentary desk, drones, mobile phones and static video cameras (all located on site at the oval) into a mixing desk.

The trial was initially only open to a select group of Senior School sporting parents, given the technical and broadcasting challenges. However, when the trial proved to be successful, the audience was widened to include all Senior School parents and extended the following day to the Junior School event.

The College would like to acknowledge our CPA and ICT staff, student camera operators, and parent helpers, in particular, Mr John Levingston (College parent) who volunteered his time and the use of his personal equipment, to make it possible to live-stream our Interhouse Athletics Carnivals.

The HotHouse Company was also pleased to live-stream the 2017 Storylines Festival to schools and students across the state for the first time.

On Wednesday, 18 October students in Years 3 to 10 had the opportunity to watch three captivating sessions live from All Saints’.

Senior School students learned from a novelist, playwright and set designer of The Lighthouse Girl, a BSSTC production. While Junior School watched as members of the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre creative team explained how they adapted Shaun Tan’s award-winning books into performances on stage.

The College and our live-streaming team are already working on improvements for further events which will be broadcasted live to our community.

STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE EXPERIENCE LIFE AT ASC Through our ongoing partnerships with international schools and organisations, we are pleased to welcome visiting students from countries across the globe every year to experience an educational exchange at All Saints’ College.

In 2017 students from the United States, Switzerland, France and Italy made the long journey to Western Australia to attend All Saints’ for a short-term or longterm stay.

These exchanges were made possible thanks to our partnerships with the Rotary Clubs of Melville (United States) and Applecross (Switzerland), and Nacel Australasia (France). The Italian programs were facilitated by the Western Australian Association of Teachers of Italian (WAATI), and the goYonder agency.

Our newest collaboration this year was with the Venicebased goYonder organisation which coordinates gap programs and study trips for high school and tertiary students to Perth.

This partnership saw three Venetian students join us at All Saints’ this year on six-month (Giacomo and Giulia) and three-month (Corinna) exchanges.

THE DOVE GOAL 4

During their stay, Giacomo, Giulia and Corinna had the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in life at All Saints’ by engaging in a diverse range of subjects, participating in special events and Sports carnivals, making lifelong friendships, and attending camps – all

whilst improving their English language speaking skills.

The College is grateful to the Ash, Carrie and Marriott families for welcoming the goYonder exchange students into their homes, caring and supporting them throughout their stay, and introducing them to our Australian culture.

Another Italian student from Sicily, Luca, enjoyed a fiveweek cultural and linguistic exchange at All Saints’ this year through WAATI, an organisation with which the College has been associated for many years. Luca was selected by Intercultura, the largest cultural exchange organisation in Italy, to participate in the program.

Hosted by the Drake family, Luca said that his experience helped him grow, learn a new culture and see things from a different perspective.

“Every day was a different adventure. I will never forget how welcomed I felt in this school. I would like to say thank you to all the staff, teachers, students and the Principal for allowing me to be part of this excellent College,” said Luca.

By hosting an Italian exchange student with WAATI, the College has the opportunity to send one or more of our students to travel to Italy on exchange at the end of the year.

The goYonder and WAATI Italian exchanges, as well as the other above-mentioned programs, are enriching experiences for the students and College community, and would not be possible without the support from our All Saints’ host families and partner organisations.

HERITAGE WEEK 2017 During the first week of May, All Saints’ College students, staff and Old Saints came together to take part in various activities and events for our annual Heritage Week.

The five-day celebration focused on the College’s ‘Heritage of Service’ and provided a chance to reflect on the various ways in which our All Saints’ community has participated in service since our inception in 1981.

Junior School and Senior School students were entertained during lunch breaks by the Old Saints’ Challenges, where they were tasked with creating a ‘temporary shelter’ for people living rough on the streets. In 15 minutes student teams created original designs using only newspaper and masking tape, with prizes awarded to the most Innovative Shelter, and Strongest Shelter which endured the simulated ‘light rain, hail and wind’.

creative artworks responding to the themes ‘How do we see service happening around us?’ (Pre-Primary to Year 2) and ‘Design something that will change the way services are delivered in the future’ (Years 3 to 6).

A highlight of the week was the morning tea and campus tour for the foundation parents of the inaugural students who started at All Saints’ in 1981. The Old Saints hosted this event which allowed the parents to see how their vision for the College had been realised more than 36 years later. It was also a pleasure to welcome three foundation staff members, Mrs Léonie Kirke, Mr Mark Stapleton and Ms Jill Williams, back to the College.

We acknowledge all who took part in this year’s Heritage Week, particularly the many Old Saints’ Committee members who took time out of their schedules to be at the College throughout the week to help facilitate the various events.

This year saw the introduction of a ‘Pop-up Museum’ featuring artefacts from the College’s history, as well as the annual much-loved activities, the Old Saints vs Students Sports event, and the Junior School and Senior School sausage sizzles, with proceeds donated to the Ethan Davies Fellowship for paediatric brain cancer research.

Our Old Saints also hosted a Junior School Art Competition which saw students from Pre-Primary to Year 6 submit

A SNAPSHOT OF OUR FINANCES Each year, as part of the Goal 5 objectives to ‘provide responsible and prudent stewardship in order to carefully manage the growth of All Saints’ facilities and resources’, we are pleased to summarise (in the adjacent charts) the College’s major sources of income and areas of expenditure for the previous calendar year.

Our total income for 2016 amounted to $32.6m, of which $20.4m (or 63%) was in the form of tuition fees.

As is the case with all schools, our major expenditure is on salaries which, in this reporting period, represented 70% of our total recurrent expenditure, at $21.2m.

As always, we strive to ensure that the balance of our income is spent on providing and maintaining the best possible resources and facilities for our students and staff. Funds are also currently used to meet the interest and principal repayments for our two newest buildings – both of which are shared and enjoyed by Junior and Senior School students.

We take very seriously our commitment to maintain and grow our facilities, resources and programs for the benefit of all current students, as well as for future generations of All Saints’ students. We thank you, our community, for your ongoing confidence in, and support for, this important stewardship.

WARRIORS ON WASTE TEAM Students in our Early Childhood Centre (ECC) have been contributing to All Saints’ College’s environmental responsibility through our new ‘Warriors on Waste’ initiative.

In early Term 3, students from Kindergarten to Year 2 with a passion for sustainability were selected to join the Warriors on Waste team led by ECC teacher, Mrs Sarah Alfano.

The group came together on several occasions last term to investigate recycling techniques and learn how to reduce waste in an environmentally friendly way.

During their second meeting, the ‘warriors’ emptied one of the rubbish bins on campus and sorted the contents into worm food, compost scraps, recyclable paper and plastic waste, and ‘other’. They were amazed to discover that the only thing left, after sorting the contents of the full bin, was some orange peel!

At their third get-together, the ‘warriors’ brainstormed some sustainable ideas which could be implemented across the ECC. They all agreed that expanding the worm farms was a great idea, so they arranged a time to move two established farms from Kindergarten to the

Pre-Primary and Years 1 and 2 areas, with instructions on how to care for them.

Mrs Alfano said it is important for our students to learn how to protect the environment because sustainable practices are vital.

“Our students are highly motivated to protect the environment. The more we can learn and teach each other about it, the better our planet will be for generations to come,” she said.

“Our goal as a group is to learn about and share with our classes how we can reduce our waste, recycle more in our classes, reuse things, promote ‘Waste Free Wednesdays’ and ‘No Throw Thursdays’, look after our worm farms which are now established across the ECC, and learn more about other sustainable practices such as composting,” she said.

Along with the student environmentalists, we have also recently established a Staff Environment team (Inquiry Action Group) to support the ‘warriors’, further improving our overall sustainable practices at All Saints’ College.

A GENEROUS

SPIRIT The College is grateful for the tremendous support of our community through the Voluntary Building Fund (VBF) and the Give the Gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund in 2017.

The VBF assists with the ongoing development of our campus and its facilities, enabling the College to aircondition our Chapel in 2014, and increase security with the installation of 21 closed circuit television system (CCTV) cameras in 2015. Last year, the VBF enabled us to enclose and refurbish our College Canteen, and in 2017 the donations have been put towards the transformation of Propeller Enterprises’ hub, ‘The Hangar’ (see page 6).

To further support our commitment to fostering diversity and excellence at the College, we were pleased to launch the Give the Gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund this year. This annual giving program is one way in which we can celebrate the achievements of those who have been recipients of scholarships at All Saints’. The College is grateful for the generous and ongoing support of this program.

All Saints’ College thanks the following donors to our Voluntary Building Fund and Give the Gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund during the 2016-2017 Financial Year (1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017).
