Introductions We would like to introduce new members of the ASC staff to the

wider College community. Some will be with us permanently while others are relieving staff cu"ently on leave: all of them are already familiar faces to the staff and students and have been welcome members of the College team since the day they joined us.

Pictured in the group photo are (back row) Ron Hollett (Design Technology Assistant), Tony Robb (Mathematics Teacher), Paul Schonrock (IT Support Technician), Naomi Hamilton (library Assistant), Brad Saviel (IT Support Administrator) and Vanessa Ward (Bursar's Assistant); and (front row) Kim lafer (Design Technology Teacher), Kerry Wishart (Teacher Assistant), Nerida Clark (Year 1 Teacher), Laura Beechen (Archivist) and Val Di Giusto (Administration Assistant). Also pictured (at left) is our new Year 6 Teacher, Glen Duffield, who was on an excursion with his Year 6s when the group photo was taken.

We would also like to introduce Christian Leighton-Woodcock, who will replace Alison Oldershaw as our Year 5 Teacher for Semester 11.

Christian's photograph will appear in the next issue of CQ.

Debbie is well-respected by present and past members of staff who all attest to her generosity and thoughtfulness to others. She has always been passionate about her teaching of mathematics and committed to innovation.

Her approach to teaching and learning has always been studentoriented and concerned with the individual. Debbie's friendly, caring nature has touched hundreds of students who have been in her classes, and we wish her well for the future.

Sunday 21 June saw the arrival of three Italian exchange students, Carmine di Lucente, Roberta Ferraris and Andrea Paoletti, who will be with us for two months. Carmine, who is from Arborea in Sardinia, is being hosted by Mark Newman and his family; Roberta is from Casale near Turin and is being hosted by louise Cumins and her family; and Andrea is from Biella near Milan and is being hosted by Kimberley Angel and her family.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome Carmine, Roberta and Andrea to the College community and wish them a very enjoyable time in Australia.

Alison Oldershaw, Year 5 Teacher, has departed All Saints' College and is bound for England's pastures green.

Alison, pictured above with her students, will be sadly missed by staff and students alike, but we wish her good luck, good fortune and good company in England and hope to see her back here before too long.

INTERHOUSE RESULTS TERM 2 The results for Interhouse Sport this term reflected the close nature of the competition. Each game proved to be very important as the field was so even.

The finals were no exception. Two hundred and thirty students from Years 8 to 12 took to the soccer and football fields and the basketball courts on a wet and cold afternoon. Spirits were not at all dampened as teams battled for the top spot.

enjoy their sport. Many thanks therefore go to Neil Collins, Nick Dundas, Melanie Bozich, Peter Whipp and Mark Stapleton, and to the team of House Sport Coordinators, Heads of House and House Tutors who ensure that the teams are full each week. Finally, congratulations to the six House Captains, who have continued to lead by example and support their Houses by cheering on their teams from the sidelines.

Without her enthusiastic leadership the Interhouse Sport Competition would not be as successful as it is.

Year 8 Crosscurricular Week One Monday morning in Term 2, the Year 8 students arrived at school knowing very little about what the week was to bring. They had been given information on a 'need to know' basis and met in the Upper Theatre to start their week. At this point they discovered that they were in a plane that had crashed into a harsh environment the Arctic, a desert, a tropical island or a rainforest. During the week they had to build a model of an emergency shelter to last the day, find out as much as possible about their environment and how to exist there for a length of time, and, by the end of the week, create a celebration.

The students spent the week in one of four home rooms and 'travelled' to different areas when necessary. The models and performances created during the A shelter on a tropical island.

week enabled students to use a

variety of their multiple intelligences and also helped them to appreciate that teamwork is important in achieving a total community goal. Many of the students met new people during the week as they were allocated to groups on a random basis, and this, following on from Camp Week, enabled them to forge new friendships.

Teachers also met many new students and appreciated the abilities that students displayed outside their particular learning area. By observing students at work, teachers are able to determine classroom practices that will suit more of their students more of the time. 0Ne are still working on how to please all of the people all of the time!)

At the end of the week the students presented a performance to an audience that included all of their peers, many of their teachers and about sixty parents. This was a wonderful culmination to the week and certainly showcased the talents our young students possess.

Attendances are always very good and staff look forward to these interactive sessions, which give them an opportunity to demystify what can be a daunting subject. A parent who obviously enjoyed the sessions held during Term 2 commented, 'I wish maths had been presented in such a meaningful and applicable way when I went to school. It will certainly be useful in explaining and assisting my child and not trying to do things the "old way". I now know why they look at me so strangely when I try to explain using the "old ways".'

Theatre first ASC has consolidated its strong Artist-in-Residence programme with the signing of an agreement between ASC and deckch.lr theatre, one of Australia's most innovative professional theatre companies. This agreement will see deckch.lr contributing significantly to the dramatic arts in the College, while the College, in Sealing the deal: VICe Chairman of ASC Board of Management Ken Booth with Tony London (College Principal), David Gerrand (General Manager of its turn, has 'adopted' deckch.lr deckdtaJr) and Neil Goldsmith, dedrchalr's ex Marketing Officer who is as a favourite dramatic destination now worIcing with Dance North, a Queensland dance company based in for students. Both deckch8lr and Townsville. Neil was a 1987 MC leaver.

ASC are delighted with this arrangement which is a wonderful example of organisations getting together, doing something creative, and giving students a very special opportunity.

Following the sell-out season of Kote 'n' Shiner during the Festival of Perth and the highly successful return season of Voices, deckch.lr is currently preparing for its next production, La Heriono del Dolore: the life of Frido Kohlo in her own words. Frida Kahlo, painter, bohemian queen, communist, intellectual, Mexican star and icon, is the subject of world-wide debate and interest. A personal friend of Picasso who numbered Trotsky among her many lovers, Kahlo died at forty-seven, leaVing behind the most extraordinary expressions of female pain, love and life the art world has ever seen. Her works now sell for over A$2 million each. Using Frida's diary and letters and the letters and comments of those who knew her, La Heriono del Dolore tells the story of her extraordinary life.

The production stars Claire Jones as Frida in a one-woman production. Western Australian audiences will know Ciaire as Verge, the young disabled woman in deckcfullr's Diving for Pearls, the feisty Mona in de4ckch8lr's Voices, and for her extraordinary Rose Pickle in Black Swan's Cloud Street.

All Saints' College is looking to book out a night for the College community at heavily discounted prices. Following the first preview on 1S October, tickets will be available any night (Tuesday to Saturday) from 17 October to 6 ovember. Prices are $1 S on Tuesdays and $2S any other night, with a special price of $20 per person for group concessions. Please ring 9430 4771 for bookings.

The College Strings Ensemble performed in front of an appreciative audience at Lefroy Hostel on 2S June.

The repertoire included 'Uttle Blue Train' by Stefan Karpiniec and 'Matilda Suite' by lan Grandage.

The students taking part in this special concert were Kimberley Angel, Julia Barton, Sheryn Cheah, Andrew Chiang, Alexandra Harrison, Kylie Uang, Scott Maisey, Jeffrey Saunders and James Wotzko.

Congratulations go to all players and to Tanya Ramakrishnan, Strings Tutor, who organised the event for Lefroy.

Among the many activities on this semester's agenda have been bush dancing, tae kwon do and ice-skating. In addition, Youth Group members have proved to be admirable role models through their assistance at and participation in the Junior School discos.

The activities were varied and the content and processes the students worked on ensured that the entire excursion became truly crosscurricular. I think the students enjoyed having the time to look, discuss and really appreciate the history, aesthetics and significance of the cathedral as a building and a place of worship. They observed with insight, asked meaningful questions and enjoyed becoming better acquainted with their peers and teachers.

Rhythmic ribbons The students from Pre-primary through to Year 3 participated in a gymnastics unit during their single lessons of physical education in Term 2. The apparatus was the ribbon. With varying degrees of success, the children made giant circles in the air as well as on the ground, big and little serpents and snakes and figures of eight.

Interhouse Netball Competition Term 2 saw the Year 6 students competing in interhouse netball. Friday lunchtimes were a flurry of activity as teams were gathered and positions decided upon. On the blow of the umpire's whistle, fourteen eager people sprang into action. Points were awarded for participation, the number of team members changed into their sports uniform, final scores and sportsmanship. Thanks go to those who spent their Friday lunchtimes playing and spectating, and to the Senior School students who acted as officials.

ral rOJ• et At the end of Term 1, the Year 3 class enjoyed a celebration of Australia's multicultural heritage.

The festivities began as the children acknowledged the countries of their ancestors at the Junior School Assembly, dressing in their traditional costumes and showing the dolls that they had made for the Festival of Melville. They were then introduced to Monty Walgar, who represented the first Australians - the Aboriginal people who are the traditional owners of this land. Following Monty's introduction, the children then joined together to sing We are Australian'.

The Year 3s didn't need feeding for a ~ after this.

Manty joined the parents and helpers who had been involved in the Year 3 Multicultural Project for a deliciously diverse lunch of kangaroo stew, satay, sushi, pizza, Greek salad, Polish sausage, quiche, rice, Chinese spring rolls, Indonesian noodles and many other international treats.

And what did we all learn from the lunch? That we don't all like the same food ...but we all share a love of food!!!

1998 whole-school photograph The fates smiled on us and allowed us just enough time, between one deluge and the next, to take the 1998 wholeschool photograph. This event, which takes place only once every five years, gives us the chance to capture an entire generation of students in one shot.

Modem techniques enabled us to take the photo in the car park in front of the College Chapel then delete the brick and tile background and substitute the mature trees now growing in the College grounds, leaving us with a wonderfully green image. Being a relatively young College, we have a grand total of two wholeschool photographs displayed in the Administration Block, but look forward to seeing many more.

Camp diaries

Camel riding, a 'Red Faces' concert, fishing, restaurants and canoeing were just some of the activities the Year 7s described to their parents when camp diaries and afternoon tea were shared on a Friday afternoon early in Term 2.

All the children had written detailed accounts of their experiences and their diaries, along with the many photos they had taken while they were away, made for an enjoyable and entertaining afternoon.

Sarah Harrison and Lars Schmidt were recently married at a service in the All Saints' College Chapel.

Being 'good friends' whilst at ASC, Sarah and Lars stayed in contact after Lars went back to Denmark in August 1988. In 1990 Lars Sarah and Lars Ha"ison-Schmidt spent a month visiting Australia, and during that visit he spent some time with Sarah. In 1990 Lars also started work for KPMG as an accountant/auditor, and remained there for a couple of years before deciding to study for his Masters in Economics. Whilst studying, Lars worked as supervisor for an insurance company.

Sarah studied at UWA and Murdoch University for four years and obtained law and commerce degrees. After working in a Perth law firm for three years, she decided to travel and work in London. Being in Europe and fairly close (in Australian terms) to Denmark, Sarah took the opportunity to visit Lars in August 1997 for what was supposed to have been a short visit. During that visit an old 'friendship' was rekindled and plans were made for Lars to move to Melbourne, where Sarah had been offered a job.

Having finished his Masters in Economics, Lars joined Sarah in Melbourne in February 1998. In April they were married at All Saints' College. Several former ASC students were present at the wedding and Rev. Dean Griffiths preached the sermon during the service. In a couple of months Sarah and Lars will be relocated back to Perth.
