ALL SAINTS'
COLLEGE QUARTERLY Issue No. 20 MAY 1993
Opening of New Junior School At the recent opening of the new Junior School Campus on Sunday March 21st, we were graced with the presence of the Chief Justice of Western Australia, Mr David Malcolm and the Administrator of the Perth Diocese, Bishop Brian Kyme. David Malcolm was very positive in his comments about the developments at All Saints' and he reminded us all of the various associations we have with his school, Guildford Grammar School. Two other speakers at the ceremony were J ulie Thomas, the current College Captain and former student, Mr John Redman. Bishop Brian Kyme Julie reminded us of her days in the Junior School and how she had formerly looked up to the Year Twelves as people to be held in awe and also as role models. John reminded us of his early days at the College and he singled out for attention "clod fights" described most fetchingly and the admiration his class had held for their then Year Seven teacher Mrs Jill Williams, now the Head of the College Captain, Junior School. Julie Julie Thomas
as a Year Twelve student and John as a young man and very successful university student, were fine examples of students from All Saints' and positive ambassadors for the College, especially for the concept of a Junior School as part of the Campus. Symbolically and in real terms, it was
Mr John Redman
an important occasion in the history of All Saints'. The afternoon itself is best summed up in the words of the Chief Justice, "I very much appreciate the warm welcome I received and the opportunity to inspect the new facilities. I was most impressed by the behaviour and the capacity of the students and the participation in the ceremony by the students such as the current College Captain, the Year Seven students and the recollections of John Redman." If you have not looked through the Junior School Campus, I invite you to do so soon. You too should have a pleasant experience. Mr A H London, Principal
A New Beginning - All Saints' College Junior School New buildings, new students, new teachers, new uniforms, new books and what an exciting and busy start to the 1993 school year! As the children arrived in the early morning on Day One, many with their parents, an air of happiness pervaded the whole Junior School. The Year One students had their teddy bears to keep them company and the orientation morning the previous Friday ensured that there were no tears. We even had "The West Australian" to take pictures and an article appeared in the paper the next day using our Year One students. All years from Year One to Year Twelve attended the Eucharist on the first day, which was a symbolic and moving occasion marking our Christian commitment and also the first time that the whole College met as a group. The second day was extremely hot, but the students were able to settle down with their teachers in the cool classrooms and begin preparations for the year. The Year Seven students had taken the Year Ones
Year One student, Lisa Lambkin, with her Teddy Bear. under their wings and came down to the Year One classroom at recess and lunch to help them with their play. This was just another example of the caring attitude displayed by many students in the Junior School. The energy and enthusiasm of the staff, students and parents is quite infectious. Already many exciting events have taken place. (Continued on Page 2) LEFT: Returningfram ourfirst swimming lesson.
