Principal wins prestigious Klingenstein Hellowship ALL Saints' College Principal, Or Geoffrey Shaw, has been awarded a prestigious Klingenstein Fellowship by Columbia University in New York. HE will take up his fellowship at the start of 2009, taking two months' Study Leave from the College. Teachers College at Columbia University is widely regarded as the strongest graduate education school in the United States. Each year, about 20 independent school Heads are offered Klingenstein Fellowships at Teachers College, both to work together and to follow independent research programs. Or Shaw is the only Australian Fellow for 2009, joining Heads from the USA, Norway, Turkey, Cambodia, Spain and Holland, and becoming one of a small group of Australian Heads who have been Klingenstein Fellows over the years. A major element of Or Shaw's application was his research proposal. He proposes to carry out a meta-analysis of research into boys' and girls' learning and how their needs can best be met within a co-educational setting. Or Shaw has been invited to visit a group of major private co-educational schools in north-eastern USA, all recognised for their successful programs. At each, he will speak with the senior administrators and exchange information about their programs and our own.

The combination of research examination and practical observation of school programs will provide All Saints' with the best possible tools to hone its own operations so that the College continues at the forefront of coeducation and education in Western Australia.
Volunteers' Afternoon Tea VOLUNTEER parents from the Canteen and the Junior and Senior Libraries, enjoyed a well-earned afternoon tea on Tuesday, 11 November 2008 in the Senior Library. VOLUNTEERS are important members of the College community. Their help to prepare and serve food in the Canteen ensures students can continue to receive this valuable service. They were thanked by Canteen Manager, Mr Colin Lynn, with special mention made to parents of Year 12 students who generously gave their time for many years. The Junior and Senior Libraries welcome volunteers from parents and extended family, to either create displays or cover and shelve books. Their assistance gives students access to new and requested books within days of them being received. Senior and Junior Library TeacherLibrarians Sue Cameron and Gae Evershed, expressed their appreciation to those who helped in 2008, and welcomed their return in 2009. Those who would like to assist either in the Canteen, Library, or both, please contact the College on 9313 9333. We thank all College volunteers for their assistance in 2008 and wish them a Merry Christmas and an enjoyable holiday.
