Once upon a time there was a young boy named Jack. One morning Jack went off to the market to trade the family cow for money; however, once there, Jack was entranced by a mysterious man who offered him magic beans in exchange for his cow. Now Jack, being familiar with the famous fairy tale, was eager to make the trade, and that night he planted the seeds in the hope of an overnight miracle. The next morning, much to his disappointment, the earth where the seeds had been planted remained barren and bare, and Jack could not understand why the magic seeds had not sprouted. His mother was quite upset by this also and for weeks, months, and years to come Jack could not see any visible sign of the magic plants. Seasons came and went and Jack carried on, still holding faith that one day, his seeds would flourish.

It was a warm, sunny day in October when Jack was outside admiring the view, and he noticed a tiny green shoot poking out of the earth, stretching towards the sky. His eyes sparkled with delight as he realised that all this time the seeds had been growing, learning, maturing from within the safety of the hard, sturdy soil and only now, with much courage and determination, had the strength and confidence to break through the barrier into a new exciting world, open to boundless opportunity and experience.

When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid to stand onor you will be taught how to fly

Barbara J Winter.

Just as Jack was able to reap the success of the seeds he planted, we too can look at the students of PLC and recognise the foundations upon which we as young women are able to grow in a safe, stable environment in preparation for a bright successful future in the big wide world. Through the nurturing of countless teachers, staff, parents and fellow students, we are able to see the transformation that takes place from Kindergarten (as innocent, naive four year olds) to Year Twelve, a time when we are forced to realise that we have become mature young women, armed with the potential to break barriers, armed with the experience and knowledge of the PLC way of life. Encapsulated within the pages of this book are a myriad of pictures and memories which no doubt will be fondly reflected upon for decades to come. It was this year that a famous actress stated 'It is not the awards that a song or movie has gained that makes it special, but rather the memories that ca n be linked to that sound or image the people you were with, the location and stage in your life that you were at and that is what makes something truly successful.' Although we honour and applaud the awards and prizes received by the numerous talented individuals in the sporting, arts and academic fields within the folds of this book, it is essentially the memories linked to these

images and words that will forever hold a place in our hearts. The friendships forged, secrets shared, laughter and funny stories, as well as many other facets of school life, will be triggered by the familiar faces within the Kookaburra, making your time at PLC an everlasting memory, one which is to be cherished. Your experience is eternal, with a little part of everything you experience staying with everyone you've ever known, and it is only later in our lives when we will come to truly appreciate our time at school; our sporting, academic and arts participation and achievement, and the special people with whom we were able to share this amazing time in our lives.

Reflecting upon 2000, the start of the new millennium, it is obvious that PLC has again flourished in all fields through the leadership of a talented contingent of Year Twelves, accompanied by a stronger brighter spirit than ever before, portayed through the smiling faces of the girls in the pages to follow.

Keeping in sync with my focus on all things inspirational, it seemed fitting to include reference to the undoubtedly most significant event of 2000, the Sydney Olympic Games.

The Year 2000 will be remembered as the beginning of the new millennium as well as the year Sydney hosted the twenty-third Olympiad. It seems fitting, then, to use a quote from Olympic gold medallist and member of the Australian swimming team, Ian Thorpe, to ca ptu re some of the ethos and philosophy of life at Presbyterian Ladies' College.

"I can't lose at the Olympic (james. That's because I believe losing is giving up. If I was to go into a race saying to myself, 'these guys are too fast for me, I'm just going to stop trying' that would be losing. If I put everything into it, I can't lose. I mightn't win in terms of gold medals, but I will win my personal battle.

And that's what it's all about. It doesn't always have to be first or second; it's what you get out of the race to me winning is not always about first place, and losing is not second place, which is why I don't feel like I have to win a gold medal to succeed at the (james."

Ian Thorpe, 2000, in The Australian, May 20 th

In educating for life I hope that we can instil some of the wisdom encapsulated in Ian Thorpe's words - that success is

not necessarily about winning, but being prepared to be involved, to take on personalchallenges and strive to achieve them. Success is not so much the final destination, but the journey in getting there.

In April, the School community enjoyed the PLC Fair - an occasion that brought together students, staff, Old Collegians, parents, friends and the wider community for a festive and happy occasion. For many it was the culmination of many months of preparation and work, and indeed the occasion exceeded our expectations in terms of raising funds for the new cafeteria. However, the success of the occasion was not so much the funds raised on the given day as much as it was the friendships that were formed, the sense of achievement gained by working collaboratively with others, the new skills learnt and the collective sense of 'having fun'. It was a great occasion, and more for what we got "out of the race" than merely the end financial gain.

In hindsight I think this year will be seen as a turning point in the history of reconciliation with our indigenous people. The spectacle of thousands of people walking across Sydney Harbour Bridge on Reconciliation Day and the symbolic gesture of the indigenous representation at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games herald the hope of true reconciliation. Within PLC, the student Reconciliation Group took a bold step in flying the indigenous flag for Reconciliation Week 2000. Their desire for social justice for indigenous peoples led to the signing of a Reconciliation Pledge Book by a significant sector of our Middle and Senior School students, as well as the coordination of guest speakers, fund raising and information sharing sessions across the year.

Ian Thorpe's words echo that of author, Liz Byrski in her book Speaking Out-

Australian Women Talk About Success. In exploring the concept of success, she comes to the conclusion that the material trappings of success - money, fame, possessions - are not the goals sought by the women she interviewed. Rather, she came to the conclusion that "success is the continuous pursuit of learning to live with oneself and to explore one's full potentiaL" She quotes Judy Cassab in saying "Getting there is more important than being there". In other words, success is the ability to engage fully in the processes of our passions and beliefs - successful outcomes are the icing on the cake.

This magazine is produced by an editorial committee of students who have been guided by the hand of Jan McMahon, teacher of Media and Head of Design and Technology. Jan retires at the end of this school year having taught at PLC for more than thirty years - a remarkable achievement made more so by the fact that none of her passion for the subject of media, or her love of students has been diminished across those years. She has role-modelled to her students the success to be gained by doing, by experiential learning, by the process rather than the product.

This edition documents the wonderful opportunities that students have both within the curriculum and cocurricular programme for challenge, to discover strengths and passions, commitment, independence and interdependence, and to experience a taste of life enriched by participation, service and friendship. Our students emulate Ian Thorpe through their whole-hearted participation in so many aspects of school life. We trust that therein lies the foundations for a lifetime of learning and thereby an enriching and satisfying journey.

Mr Koh, Treasurer of the PLe Fair 2000 Committee, presents Ms Blackwood with the cheque from the fair.

"What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?"

- Robert Schuller

When I first found out that I was Head Prefect, that was my aimto throw myself into changing the school as if there was no risk of failure or rejection. Unfortunately, as I discovered, change has to be gradual, but that has not stopped this year being one of developments and changes for PLC.

The year began with a leadership day for the Year Twelves at Notre Dame University, run by Andrew Horabin, a man who we saw a lot of during the year and who helped us immensely. It was a day of bond forming and goal setting, which the Year Twelves have tried hard to achieve throughout the year. Next, we headed off to the Fremantle Sailing Club for the Year Twelve Ball. This night exceeded all expectations and the efforts of Mrs Atkins, all the mothers and the ball committee in organising the evening were greatly appreciated.

At this stage the school was well and truly into PLC Fair mode. This day was a phenomenal success, due in no small part to the people on the dunking machine, and we raised an unbelievable amount of money. Thank you to Mrs Bennett and all the people involved who made the Fair unforgettable. However, at the same time as this fantastic event, the school said a sad farewell to Reverend Sue Wickham, who enlivened Chapel and is a special person who we miss greatly.

We then proceeded into the Anzac Service, numerous leadership afternoons for the Prefects and a highlight for Carolyn and I, the Year Nine PLC and Hale Social. We also participated in the Olympic Torch Relay as Escort Runners and then went to even more leadership seminars.

Reverend Elke Riekmann joined us from Bonn at the start of third term and I wish her the best of luck as she continues to find her place in our school community. Speech Night 1999 had revealed plans for improvements to the buildings and grounds, and these are now finally underway. I'll never be able to use them, but I'm sure the cafeteria and Year Twelve common room will be welcome additions to PLC life.

"No man (woman) will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself (herself) or get all the credit for doing it."

So said Andrew Carnegie. This is the philosophy that I have tried to follow since I was first elected, way back in the last millennium (sorry, I couldn't help cashing in on 2000). My amazing delegation skills all began when we started organising the song for the last assembly in 1999 - thank you Mel - and have continued throughout this year, with the astounding Student Council always willing to do anything I asked them to do. Special thanks must go to my right-hand gal, Carolyn, who never stopped trying to get me organised and helping me in every conceivable way. Ms

Blackwood, Ms Lee, Mrs Browne and Mrs Robinson never stopped helping me out and providing me with much needed chocolate fixes; they have my most sincere thanks.

Thanks to all the staff who have supported me, particularly Mrs Slattery and Mrs Maclean, who always let me into the office for dried fruit, Caramello Koalas and a chat. Remember this Georgie, there is heaps of free food coming your way!! Good luck to Georgie, Katie and the 2001 Year Twelves; you'll get out what you put in.

"It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological."

A truer word was never spoken about the friends I have made at PLC, especially my 'corridor' who were always there with tissues, a much needed hug and neverending encouragement - YOU CAN DO IT!!

One last word to the Leavers of 2000, may we have the ability to dream and the courage and strength to succeed. See ya at the 20 year reunion I

And so, after twelve years at school, five of which have been spent in the PLC Boarding House, my time here is over. I don't wish to be any more "cliched", so I'll just say thanks to the School for having us. To those we leave behind, enjoy it while it lasts. To quote a constant source of Year Twelve inspiration, "Like sand through an hour glass, these are the days of our lives."

AMY SMITH, Head Prefect

At the start of each Student Council meeting this year, we would begin with a reflection or thought to set the tone for the meeting. One reflection from our earlier meetings sums up the year and what we all learnt perfectly: "In every triumph, there's a lot of try, and a heap of 'umph.'

In our planning sessions at the beginning of the year, back when we were young and ignorant, we had a list of goals longer than the sentences in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. Some of our aims were to increase School spirit, develop relationships between year groups, encourage unity amongst the Year Twelves (which included the battle for a common room) and break down cultural barriers in the School.

And we did have a very successful and productive year. With introducing criteria for the new Academic pocket, holding House Colours casual days, running our own assembly, improving the every-day aspects of the school and organising the Year Twelve sleepover, we were always kept very busy.

As Deputy Head Prefect, I was part of both the Middle School Forum and the Senior School Advisory Council as well as the Student Council. Apart from going to a lot of meetings, this meant I was able to act as a 'go-between', taking ideas from all years, for discussion at Student Council. Thank you to all girls who were involved in these groups. They were an important voice in the school, and I'm sure will continue to do extremely well next year.

Finally, I must thank Amy and the great support of Student Councillors who dragged themselves out of bed once a fortnight to attend early morning meetings and were always ready to help out. We made a great team this year and if ever there was a problem too big, it was comforting to know that there were thirteen girls who would always lend a helping hand.

Best of luck to George and Katie and the 2001 Student Council. Give it your best, keep your head up, and have fun with it I

Is it just me or did the Service Team this year have a slight obsession with food? This year has seen a number of days evolving around the topic of food - Chips Chocs and Drinks Days, Sushi Days and Sausage Sizzles OR maybe we are just simply responding to the wants of the paying customer?

Either way, this year has been a fantastic one for service in PLC!! Even with the sad departure of Reverend Susan during first term, the spirits of the Service Team were far from dampened. First on the agenda was a Chips, Chocs and Drinks Day, which along with a very popular Sushi Day, thanks to the superb sushi making skills of Mrs Cuneo and her helpers, raised funds to provide medical supplies for the flood-striken people of Mozambique.

This year we were also fortunate enough to introduce two additional members into our school community, with the sponsoring of Van Dat Le from Vietnam and Nigsti Gebremedhin from Zimbabwe, through World Vision. This initiative will hopefully be carried on by the school in future years, to provide Van Dat and Nigsti with food, shelter and an education.

Casual Days this year took a quirky turn, with the Year Twelves using these days as an excuse to reveal their more, shall we say, creative sides!! From GhostBusters to the Aussie Battler these days proved to be more than just days to show off your new clothes. The House Colours Day, before the Inter House Athletics, saw girls pulling out their oranges, blues, greens, reds, yellows and purples, in an attempt to create house spirit but more importantly as a means of early intimidation tactics before the big day.

All money from the casual days and Chips, Chocs and Drinks Days went toward the Service Team's major fund raising project for which a target of was set to raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation. This money will be put to use in granting the wish of an ill child. This year the Service Team have chosen to take the path of involving the school as much as possible with our progress towards this target through regular updates in assembly. An early visit from Captain Starlight himself also created much personal interest amongst the students.

By far, the biggest event for the Service Team this year was the PLC Quiz Night which was organised with the Reconciliation Team and Mrs Bishop. Half the profits of this night went towards Starlight, and the other half towards Reconciliation. From the feedback I have received from staff and students who went, the night was a lot of fun. Heaps of questions were asked, games played and of course there were prizes, prizes and more prizes. The highlight of the night was by far the guest appearances of Dockers players Toni Grover and Daniel Bandy who were made surprisingly welcome considering the majority of the crowd were Eagles supporters! Hopefully this night will become an annual event.

In conjunction with Notre Dame University, the Service Team plus some very kind helpers, took up the task to check the School's old computers. These were then packed and sent to Dili in East Timor so students over there could learn basic computer skills. More recently, the Service Team held a Sausage Sizzle and its support was phenomenal, providing us with a fantastic way to end what you could call, a year of jam-packed fun and service.

My list of thanks goes on forever but I would like to thank everyone for their support of the Service Team throughout the year, whether it was buying a chocolate bar or organising a table for the quiz night. More importantly thank you ever so much to the six House Captains - Sarah, Kate, Sally, Emily, Emma and Jenna for their tireless support and efforts. It couldn't have been done without you guys! ! and of course, special thanks to Ms Blackwood, Rev. Elke and Mrs Lee for helping me and the rest of the team when the going got tough.

Best wishes to next year's Service Captain, Emma Turner and the six House Captains. I hope your year proves to be as fulfulling and rewarding as mine.

'To the Cosmonauts of PLC I hope this book can affirm and guide your journey into a Planetist future II This is Peter Ellyard's message to us in the front of his book, Ideas for the New Millennium, which was published in 1998.

We have now reached the beginning of the new millennium without any real disasters befalling us. Planes did not fall from the skies and the vast majority of computers around the world continued to function. Yet I do not think that we can ignore the message of Ellyard and others who argue that many things need to change in education and that we need to develop a culture of learning in order for our children to thrive in the years beyond 2010. He talks of the need for life-long learning, for learner-driven learning rather than teacher-driven, for just-in-time learning, for customized learning which acknowledges preferred learning and thinking styles, for transformative learning which enables us to think for ourselves, for collaborative learning, for contextualised learning which addresses the question of relevance and for learning to learn. I have no argument with any of these and see evidence of these 'types' of learning around me every day at PLC.

I have no doubt that our ability to adapt and to be flexible will influence how we cope with the years ahead. However I was pleased that the argument did not stop there but extended to the need for a global caring society where caring consisted of the following elements:

caring for oneself, including one's physicaland mental health caring for one's children, partners, friends and relations, and colleagues caring for one's community caring for others, including those with different cultures caring for other species caring for the Planet

It is my hope that the ideas in Peter Ellyard's book do affirm and guide our journeys.

This edition of the Kookaburra tells the story of the journey of our school during the year 2000. I hope that you enjoy it. I hope, too, that the girls will return to this Kookaburra and enjoy the memory of this particular journey over and over and that they will return in the years beyond 2010 to let us know that they are thriving I

'I am a special wizard who can change you into anything you want.' 'So if I said that I wanted to be a queen you would grant my wish?' 'Yep' said the wizard.

'Okay then I would like to be a queen.'

Shiwill caboon! 'Wow!' Emma said 'I'm a queen'. 'Your palace is right here' said the wizard. This is beautiful'said the queen.

Twenty minutes later... 'Servants please!' shouted the queen 'I would like to go out and give all the poor people some money.' 'Okay mam' said the servant. Unfortunately Emma woke up from her dream and never got to give the poor people the money.

The Flashlight Fish

Flashlight fish, dazzling light, dull companion, but good for a fright!

Scaring his predators away with a beam of light. Darting away crazily, zig-zagging through the reef.

Teeth glinting, razors sharp and dinner is served in a flash.

Creepy crawly bugs

Crawling through his blood, frantic, scurrying, trying to fly free.

In the dark of the night, a bright, fantastic ray, to lighten the hearts of the sharks and the unlucky prey.

When the light comes, and sun beams make the water clear, the fish scurries off, his light no use at all.

Fluorescent colours of bright and cheerful fish, playing tag and darting round the rocks.

Seaweed sways and the light slowly dims, out comes the flashlight fishready to do his work again.

I Have A Dream

I have a dream for world Peace and that all

upon this world is equal.

I have a dream that those in need will be helped and those with the money are the helpers.

I have a dream that we accept people for who they are not what we want them to be.

I have a dream that everyone has a right A right to everything.

InPhysical Education the girls have continued to participate in many areas and to develop a wide variety of skills within the curriculum. Collaborative learning and leadership have been apparent with the Year Nine Sport and Recreation classes helping the Pre-Primary students on an individual basis with their swimming and fundamental movement skills. The Year Six girls had the opportunity to gain valuable experience and leadership skills by running the Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off for the girls in Year One to Five.

Phys.Ed. Week was enjoyed by all Junior School classes, with the Year Nine Sport and Recreation class running activities for the girls at lunchtime, as well as a mass aerobics session and walk during the mornings.

Surfing

Crisp, refreshing cool waves, the soft, smooth sand and awesome waves to surf! Middle School Adventure Club surfing was a great experience for everyone. When we first started at 6:00 in the morning on a Monday we were tired, cold and almost all of us thought that surfing was going to be a big mistake. But once you've mastered a few basic skills and are out deep, it is the best feeling ever. Surfing is so much easier than you could ever imagine. With a few lessons most of us were able to stand up on the board and ride into the shore, even my Mum! I think everyone enjoyed taking surfing lessons. It was certainly a great experience. One which I advise you to try if you ever get the opportunity I

Whizz I Thud I Right in the middle of the target some hope. In fact, most arrows fired by students during the archery session on the first day of camp completely missed the targets and buried themselves in the ground or hill behind the targets. Oh well, we had a go. And that is the main emphasis of this camp, trying everything even if you're not really destined for this sort of stuff. Everyone had a lot of fun pushing each other off the floating platform in the reservoir during the canoeing session, constructing a not-so-waterproof shelter during bushcraft, camping out in the middle of nowhere for one night and trying to listen to a person seeming to tell the teachers that we weren't allowed to camp there, and going to Penguin Island and oohing and aahing while the fairy penguins were fed lunch. All in all, a rather exh i la rati ng outi ng.

The Year Nine Urban Challenge

The Year Nine Urban Challenge was a great experience for all the participants. We spent four fun-filled days exploring what Fremantle and Perth had to offer. In the morning and for some of the afternoon, we did questions about Science, SOSE, English and Maths which related to the environment. However, once we had finished all the questions, we were free to do whatever we liked in that city, which usually meant shopping.

The questions included things like counting how many people went through the doors in the ANZ building and measuring the volume of a gold cup in the Hay Street Mall. The worst thing about the Urban Challenge was the walking. You walked everywhere except getting from PLC to your destination. Apart from this the Urban Challenge was a fantastic learning experience and heaps of fun.

City After Dark

City After Dark was where you went into the City with the House Tutor Group, after dark! Sounds scary and dangerous you may say, but luckily we were accompanied by a policeman. As we walked through Perth, we saw lots of people to avoid and we learnt about how and where we should go in the city at night - things like safe places to park your car and places which are most hit by crime. It really became a reality to realise how quiet and scary the city can be. It was a great education about survival in the city after dark!

Rachel Carew-Hopkins

Music camp

This event this year was really fun, especially as the building we were sleeping in was situated right next to a cemetery. One of the main highlights of the camp, apart from singing and playing instruments, was the food which was the best I've ever tasted, consisting of pasta, bread, yummy deserts and a roast. In between the lovely meals we took the time to visit the local deli a number of times to stock up on 'healthy food.' Although we were on a tight schedule, we still managed to watch movies, play games, dance, visit the cemetery and most of all have fun! !

Camilla Bibby

Canberra Tour

The best thing by far in Year Nine was the Scotch/PLC Canberra tour. We went for a week spending a few nights in Canberra then moving into NSW to go skiing for three days. Even though most people couldn't ski, they still really enjoyed the experience (even Nat managed to recover from her uphill stack!). The nights were also great fun, with the guys playing the role of the DJ's and the girls all pretending they were really good at table tennis. All in all, the Canberra tour was so much fun and, as everyone says, definitely go on it if you have the chance.

The enthusiasm of the mighty Baird House never ceases to amaze me!

Every year the Inter Houst' events are flooded with war cries, streamers and amazing House spirit. I'm proud to say this year has been no exception. Swimming, House Plays, Arts Day, Cross Country, the list is endless. You name it, Baird was in it. Carisa and Angela were 'thrown into the deep end' (sorry I couldn't resist) and started off the year with Inter House Swimming. Their sanity was saved several times by girls who were willing to swallow vast amounts of water for their House. Despite many panic attacks they survived and did a brilliant job. The "Do it yourself Frankenstein outfit" followed the Baird tradition of strange house plays and was directed by Sandra Houghton. This was the culmination of a lot of hard work and preparation. The nimble Bairdies managed a second in Inter House gym. This and other Inter House sports such as hockey, netball and rowing were organised by Pip and Lissie. The dynamic duo did a great job in getting the House enthusiastic about a two or three kilometre cross country run.

Arts day was a big success. Anna was overwhelmed with participants and Nicole performed a miracle with the House Choir coming second, singing "Say a Little Prayer". Their efforts were rewarded with all enjoying a great day.

Throughout the year, Jo organised strong Public Speaking and Debating teams, often helping out with speeches at the last minute. Finally, I'd like to thank the Year Twelve House Tutor Group, aka the Bairdy Bunch. Their enthusiasm and willingness to help out got me through the year, along with the support of Miss Langdon and Mrs O'Hara. We wish Fran and her co-ordinators the best of luck for next year. The future is bright, the future is orange.

SALLY PATTERSON, House Captain

carmi 2000

2000 has been a fantastic start to the new millennium for Carmichael. Throughout the year, Carmichael once again demonstrated its outstanding enthusiasm and supreme ability in all areas. We could not have managed our excellence without the support of our entire house and I would like to congratulate those who have willingly (and unwillingly) participated throughout the year.

Carmichaelians demonstrated their artistic flair once again with a well deserved second place in this year's House plays. The hilarious Perils of Prince Percy of Pomegranate was a huge success and a true credit to our amazing director, Belle Taylor, and all her cast and crew. The year continued with Debating where Carmichael came first in Year Eleven, second in Year Nine and second in Year Twelve.

Carmichael also competed successfully in Public Speaking for 2000. We could not help but recognise the brilliant performance by our Debating and Public Speaking coordinator, Georgia Gerson, who gave us an enlightening speech on why "Life Isn't a Dress Rehearsal", to be placed second in the Year Twelve competition. Arts Day was a huge success for us, with everyone getting in there and having a go. We discovered some hidden talent in the areas of singing, sewing, photography, cake making and raunchy 80'S dancing. We obviously showcased our skills enough to come third overall. Arts Day was a wonderful, relaxing escape enjoyed by all. Cara Hoppe did a great job getting everyone involved and full credit must go to her. To conclude Arts Day, Carmichael performed Be My Baby from the Dirty Dancing sound track. Laura Bond did an amazing job to bring it all together; all the sweat and tears paid off when we were placed third.

Not only did our Carmichael girls demonstrate their talents in the Arts but we also participated very successfully in the sports. To start off the year, Carmichael did well in the Inter House Diving, but not only that, we all sported our sexy blue swimming caps and strutted our stuff in our bathers to come second in the Swimming. A great effort by all, especially our tireless coordinators Krystal Waddell and Catriona Dowding, who made the day run so smoothly. Special congratulations go to Jade Greenland in Year Ten for Champion and Alicia Anderson in Year Nine as runner-up.

The Aths carnival was also a great day, with the mighty blues showing off their talent in all events. Well done to Gemma Willing in Year Eight, Jess Spragg in Year Nine and Emma .Glasfurd in Year Eleven who all received Champion for their age group. Carmichael came third.

The Gym/Sport coordinators Moira McKechnie and Marika Dunstan have had a constant job throughout the year organising teams for the up and coming events. Outstanding results include first in Cross Country and many more great results.

A big thank you must go to Mrs Duzevich, Miss Dorrington and Mrs Leong for all her support throughout the year, as well as the rest of the Year Twelve House Tutor Group, for all their help to make 2000 a year for Carmichael to remember. Good luck to all the officials next year and remember have a great year; it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you PLAY THE GAME that counts.

EMILY MCFARLANE, House Captain

WOW! WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN ...

Inkeeping with the usual "Fergo" tradition, the Red Ladies of 2000 excelled in all aspects of sports, arts and service. Our success can be attributed to the enormous amount of participation, effort and commitment across the entire year.

The year dived off to a racing start, highlighted by the Inter House Swimming, where Fergo gained a respectable fourth placing. It proved to be an enjoyable morning and many congratulations must go to Elissa James and Ashley Jeffrey whose organisational skills were exemplary and made our competing possible.

Next on the calendar was A Day for Killing Daffodils, the play directed by Nastasya Tay, which proved to be an outstanding success, although not complete without the melodramatics Hence a special congratulations must go to Nastasya who filled in for the main part, literally an hour before the girls were due to perform - and to her credit presented a word perfect script. Despite all the odds Fergo gained a tremendous third place.

This only proved to be the beginning of an extraordinary year in the arts for Fergo

Arguably the highlight of the year came from a complete domination on Performing Arts Day, winning in both the Performing and Creative Arts sections respectively. This was a fantastic achievement by all who participated. A huge congratulations must go to Rachel Greer, who organised and collated all the entries for the day. Arts Day was further completed for Fergo by the winning of the House Choir. A miracle in all senses of the word. Again enormous praise must be given to Dominy Peacock who persevered against all odds.

Furthermore, Fergo showed strong talent in the debating and public speaking arena, gaining first place in the Year Twelve debating competition and also the Year Eleven Public Speaking Final (Georgia Henderson). Again, all credit must go to Lucy Atkins, who coordinated all of the respective speakers for each round.

The Cross Country proved to be more of a tug-of-war between our consistent competitor Carmichael, with each of the houses gaining first place in alternate year groups. However, Carmichael edged us out on a count back of points, resulting in Fergo gaining a humble second place. Acknowledgments go to our individual champions Pia Robinson (12), Anna-Lee Hazell (11), Rowena Kendall (10) and Sophie Smith (9).

The Fergo Athletics team 2000 was probably the strongest we've produced in a while and triumphantly gained an overall second placing. All girls must be commended on their efforts and pay tribute again to the successful organisation of Elissa and Ashley.

Throughout the year many Inter House activities were held which saw the participation of countless numbers of girls, each possessing enormous House spirit. Finally, last but by no means least, thank you to Amy Dry and Pia Robinson for their tireless effort across the entire year.

It has gone by in an instant. I wish Claire and all the Coordinators a BIG GOOD LUCK in their positions next year and also to the rest of the House, may your red blood run deep

I also suppose it is at this stage of the game that I thank the Kiwi more commonly known to all the Year Twelves as " Saunders" for his inspiration, dedication and humour, which is legendary and synonymous with the Ferguson tradition.

Finally, to all the Year Twelve Fergo Leavers, as they don their school uniforms for the very last time and dream of that land overseas 1thank them for their unwavering enthusiasm, commitment and support throughout the year, which I could not have done without. Thank you all for an extraordinary year.

EMMA GOLDIE, House Captain

2000

McNeil entered the Millennium with a bang which was characterised by sweeping victories in all aspects of PLC life. In February, the House displayed an array ofteam and individual achievements in the Inter House Swimming and Diving. McNeil was awarded four trophies, reflecting first place in the Middle School, Senior School diving and the overall winner. Our successes in the aquatics can be attributed to our coordinators, Alex Humphry and Alison Hillman, who proved to be invaluable in their dedication and enthusiasm towards the organisation of these events.

Carrying on from our earlier achievements, T-Shirts was adopted as our house play, which was

directed by our talented director, Tilly Gollan. With superb individual performances both on and off stage, McNeil was awarded first place.

Never mind the high level of achievements generated by the House in the earlier part of the year, Performing Arts Day demonstrated the high level of participation and House spirit which is integral to McNeil. Courtney Allen must be recognised for her efforts in organising the day. Overall, we came second place to our steady competitor, Ferguson. Our Sonny and Cher rendition of I Got You Babe, didn't gain us a place in the House Choir competition, however thanks must go to Sally Hebiton for her efforts in co-ordinating this event and also all the girls who sacrificed their lunch times for rehearsals.

Ending the year on a stronger note, McNeil's consistency and participation were rewarded with first place in the Inter House Athletics, Public Speaking and strong results in after-school sporting activities. Naomi Mills, I<irstyn March and Megan Johnston must be acknowledged for their contribution for such activities.

In the light of our successes throughout the year, McNeil thanks the other houses for putting up a difficult but fair fight, Mrs Butchart (House Advisor) and the House Tutors for each Year group.

Last but not least, the Year Twelves of McNeil wish Dale Seaby (House Captain 2001) and the 2001 House officials the best of luck in their future roles. We hope that you are rewarded with the same extent of participation and success that has been demonstrated this year.

SARAH JACKSON, House Captain

2000

As the year 2000 draws to an end and we reflect on the spirit and pride that Australia has for its Olympic Athletes and venues, it reminds me of the Stewart girls. Always eager to perform a 'PB' of amount of House points collected. "Stoked" when we win and of course, always keen to be there, just to put in an appearance for the proud Stewart name.

The year began with Stewart's fantastic House Play, The Joker. Although it didn't feature in the placing, the performance was a credit to the hard work and organisational skills of the House Play Coordinator, I<atie Clunies-Ross and some very humorous appearances from Kate Miles and Lisa McDonald, as well as the rest of the cast.

Throughout the year Stewart has been very competitive in most of the House sport areas with great results in the gym and cross country. We also defended our title by winning the Inter House Rowing for the second consecutive year. Jane Forma and Lisa McDonald were instrumental in the time and effort put in, in order for the Stewart girls to always be at the right place when needed.

Although overall Stewart was not predominant in the Athletics and Swimming this year, special mention must go to Bianca Serich (Year Ten Athletics Champion), Sarah Davis (12) and Jennifer Watts (9) champion girls in the swimming. Special mention must go to Jacqui Thomas for scoring a perfect 10 on all three apparatus in the Gym. Thanks to Bianca Ring and Sarah Davis for the unbelievable amounts of stress that they went through to get the events organised.

This year a lot of fun was had by all the participants on Performing Arts Day, especially in the House Choir, where Stewart performed The Locomotion. There were great performances from all girls in the area of cookery to bag piping to classical dance. Thanks to Beth Woodward for all her work that went into the day and Elizabeth Newnham for her magnificent direction of the House Choir.

The talent, commitment and enthusiasm shown by all girls in debating and public speaking this year was fantastic. Congratulations to the Year Nines for a great effort and Jennifer Watts for winning the Public Speaking. A big thank you to Tiffany Or for her work in finding people to participate.

Really, the spirit and fun enjoyed by all the Stewart girls can be summed up in the simple words of our Stewart predecessors: Just Stew It' Good luck to Phoebe and the other coordinators for next year.

To kick off a new millennium, Summers House sported a fresh new look after many years of wearing white; we opted to change to a pertinacious purple. It was the beginning of a bright and colourful year for Summers.

The first event on the School calendar was Inter House swimming led by our admirable swimming captains Rachel Wroe and Emma Green. Summers went out fighting The new colour certainly increased our House Spirit and we came super sixth overall.

Summers lived up to its reputation in the House Play competition with a lively rendition of Absolutely Fabulous Birthday, wonderfully directed by Anne Treasure. There were some truly exciting performances by Ivana Pearce (12) as Patsy and Lizzie Kuehne (11) as Eddy. A massive congratulations must go to all the other Summers stars who dedicated much time and effort.

Summers had an extremely successful year in public speaking and debating, coming second overall in both. A huge well done to all the girls who participated and let's hope we can keep it up next year. An honourable mention must go to Sarah Robinson (10) and Ivana Pearce (12) who both won their finals with amusing and entertaining speeches. Thank you to Erin O'Meagher and Jo BarrettLennard for co-ordinating Public Speaking and Debating throughout the year.

The big arts event for the year was Performing Arts Day. Many girls entered items in both creative and performing arts and gained places for their efforts. Summers managed to come fourth overall.

House Choir proved to be an enjoyable afternoon and big thanks to Cathy Ashley, who did a fantastic job in getting the House to combine and sing together in tune, "The Streets of London."

Athletics Day was a fun day for all, with some girls willingly participating in their events. Once again, Summers House has entered the sporting arena with spirit and enthusiasm. Summers Inter House Athletics team was a force to be reckoned with in Marching, winning it now for the second year running. A special mention goes to Ginny Wiszneauckas, our resident cheerleader who put on an excellent performance in the Marching and to Danika Warburton (9) for coming athletics runner-up for her year.

In other sporting activities throughout the year, Summers has continued to show strong involvement and produced successful results. The Year Nines came first in Inter House Netball and Tennis and second in Hockey with only four players. The Year Twelves finished their last ever Inter House event at the Badminton, coming a heroic second place. Thanks for the support from Liz Armstrong and Naomi Ardley who organised the Inter House sports so efficiently during the year.

Overall, Summers has had an eventful and successful year. However, nothing would be possible without the encouragement and support from the House Coordinators, Ms Lange and Mr Beckwith, who put in so much time and effort towards these activities.

Good luck to Jelena Maticevic, Summers House Captain for 2001 and all the House Officials. I am sure you will all have a fantastic year.

May your life be filled with Summers.

We farewelled the 1999 Boarders with the annual "Chrissie Dinner", following the theme Inside an Ant Hole, which proved to be a success due to the brilliant organisational skills of our year. We had rappers, knights, a pope and even drag queen ants, in between an underground chant and a rap dance.

The 2000 school year began with the annual closed weekend which was very popular, with a trip to the movies and Bayswater Waves. Despite the rather warmish conditions in the Boarding House throughout February, we all survived with continual trips to the pool and beach. Throughout the year we attended a variety of social functions, including the very popular Mucky Duck Bush Band, visits to the ice rink and picnics in the park with Scotch College. This year we particularly focussed on breaking down the barriers between boarders and day girls and ran a programme which saw boarders inviting a day girl to stay the night. The Boarders social with the theme Nightclub - Studio 54 proved to be a success with the gym beaming with golden stars, armless mannequins and helium breathing stunt men. A number of fundraising activities took place throughout the year, with the Boarders' market selling everything from sheep poo to slices.

The Father Daughter Dinner basically consisted of heated discussions on wool prices, drought, flood, fire, locusts and the Olympics, although this was not unexpected. It was great to see the fathers from Esperance to Geraldton and Merredin to Badgingarra present for a great night of bonding and expensive food. It was also a good excuse for the Year Twelves to buy a new outfit for the River Cruise under the pretence of the Father Daughter Dinner.

The River Cruise on the Crystal Swan was fantastic, allowing girls to unwind after Mock exams. Despite the event being held on Black Friday 13th October, we managed to avoid any serious injury or Titanic re-enactments.

I wish the very best to all the Year Twelves, especially my corridor buddies, in particular Erinn and Linda, who picked up the pieces, literally, and I wish Hayley, Emma and Merome all the best for next year.

SARAH LATHAM, Senior Boarder

overseas students

G'day,

namaste, ni hao, konnichiwa, hallo, salut and guten tag! Learning how to say 'hi' in many different languages is just one of the many advantages we get from going to a multicultural school. 2000 turned out to be a fantastic year, despite the fact that many overseas students dreaded having to spend the beginning of the millennium a continent away from home. The problem of those celebrating Chinese New Year was overcome by a successful Chinese New Year dinner that took place in the Boarding House. Many girls were involved in the attempt to decorate the dining room in 1S minutes which proved a fun and challenging experience.

The night consisted of a prayer and a wide range of traditional food including the traditional ritual of "Yu Sheng". This Chinese traditional 'salad' was prepared by one of the Year Twelve students, Sheena Cher. The noodles in "Yu Sheng" were mixed by lifting them up vertically using chopsticks. The overseas Year Twelve Boarders had the honour of doing this. "The higher the noodles can be lifted up, the more prosperous and better the years will be." This belief has proven to be true, as this year has been a fantastic one.

As happened last year, the Year Twelves went to Bibik Chan for an overseas dinner. Each overseas student invited an Australian student for an evening of Asian Cuisine. The evening started awkwardly yet as the minutes passed by we found more and more things in common. We all love each other's mobile phones! !

For Performing Arts Day, many overseas students took part in the traditional dance section. Ranging from Years Seven and Twelve, we presented traditional dances from India, Indonesia and Thailand. One thing that I think the overseas students learned from Performing Arts Day is how to cook. Last year it was sushi and this year we learnt how to barbecue sausages from the 'experts', members of Student Council. That lunchtime, along with the Student Council Sausage Sizzle Stall and our own Asian Food Stall, we successfully sold a total of 300 satay sticks, 300 sushi pieces and 100 curry puffs. What a day!

Throughout the year, the Senior School has been invited to International Dinners hosted by other schools. Excited as we were, getting to go to lots of cultural integration socials, we had to unfortunately turn down a few invitations, as there were too many to choose from I In the end, we had a ball in attending the International Dinners of MLC, St Hilda's and lona.

This year has been filled with new friendships, laughter and tears. The Year Twelve Overseas students sadly bid farewell to the friendly PLC community that has always welcomed us with their smiles and helped us through the times when we were homesick. Finally, I would like to thank the PLC community, especially the overseas students who have been very supportive throughout the year, and I wish the best of luck to Sharmila in her role as Overseas Representative for the Year 2001. It has been a great pleasure for me to represent the overseas community at PLC this year. And for now, goodbye, aujo, zai, jian, sayonara, selamat tinggal, au revoir and auf wieder sehn.

KRISTY SOEHARTO, Overseas Captain

sports

Not to be outdone by the Sports carnival in Homebush, PLC have provided a range of sporting triumphs of our own over the last 10 months, albeit none that managed to stop the nation but I'm sure we managed to hold up PLC Links once or twice. With S Club 7 blaring in the background (my influence, I'm sorry), the girls have thrown down the gauntlet before all tasks confronting them, winning the occasional pennant, breaking the odd personal best and making a couple of mates along the way. This is what school sport is about; this is what PLC is about and this is what we cherish.

Not so long ago, Sports Captains were relegated to commenting on the appearance of sporting teams and the fantastic enthusiasm within team networks. Whilst PLC girls still look the best (nothing new there) and all girls are still willing to give anything a go, on the whole, competitively PLC sporting teams are returning to the days when they were considered as definite threats to any pennant. Perhaps it's the culinary skills of Mrs Glatz and the mothers in the canteen, maybe it's the water, but I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with the increased importance and emphasis being placed on sport within the school.

Those closely involved with sport at PLC would no doubt be aware of the concentrated efforts a team of parents and staff have been placing on the success of PLC sporting teams. Not only has their time added another dimension to sport at PLC and a whole new support base, but collectively they have been the driving force behind better results.

This, in turn, has played a huge part in maximising the spirit within the school, as is evident before any major sporting event, a feeling which could only be increased with higher placings on the day. Assemblies before the rowing, aths and swimming have been electric, atmosphere which can't help but release a tonne of emotions. In twelve years I have never seen the school so enthusiastic with anticipation of results and it's fantastic. One can only hope that with the continued help of specialist coaches and further encouragement of a competitive attitude, The West Australian will be writing about us the day after Inter School swimming and athletics.

Highlights of the sporting year "that was" include the overall champion school for Tennis, second in Hockey, Basketball and Cross Country and third in the IGSSA Diving competition. In addition to these more notable performances, a number of individual division pennants have been claimed, pennants addressed more specifically in the individual sports reports.

As always, there are those within the Black Watch tartan community who so evidently stand out from the crowd in their sporting field. In the swimming pool Jennifer Watts (9) stunned us all with her successes at both State and National level and Esther Beecham was selected as a member of the Pacific School Games and competed in the National Championships. Anna-Lee Hazell (11) and Alicia Anderson (9) both competed as a members of the under 17 State Water Polo team and State School Girls Team. KatiePhillips, Harriet Darnton-Turner, Stephanie Scott, Jess Minshall and Natalie Maguire competed at the National Rowing Championships. Sarah Apostolou (11) competed in the State School Girls Basketball Team. Both Lucy Vidler (10) and Jessie Dare (10) were also selected in State development teams for volleyball and hockey respectively.

Not only have you been a credit to yourselves, but also to the school community, as we applaud your endeavours and your selfdetermination. The talents you possess not only encourage and motivate fellow students, but provide members of the school community with a figure to admire and a role model within the school that is vital to any school pursuits. Personally, I can't help but feel a streak of pride when I hear of your achievements as I'm sure many others do also.

In addition to these state representatives, a number of girls have received the highest sports award in the school, Sports Honours, Sarah E Davis and Ivana Pearce. Sports participation pockets have been awarded to many students this year. These awards commend the dedication of students with inPLC.

Special acknowledgments must go to both the Swimming and Athletics Coordinators and the Sports Coordinators in each House who have skilfully balanced their studies and their positions' demands. It is no easy task collaborating the House teams without tears shed and I congratulate them all on their efforts and thank them for their time.

Thanks also must go to the Physical Education staff and coaches for all their dedication and assistance throughout the year. Congratulations and best of luck to all the School officials for 2001, particularly Kate MacKinnon who will assume the role of School Sports Captain. Enjoy your time as a school prefect, make the most of the year and embrace all available opportunities. We all know you'll do a great job.

Finally, after twelve years of Land of our Birth, I leave PLC for the last time, no doubt with a skip in my step and a tear in my eye. To the girls, I thank you for making my time so enjoyable at PLC and I encourage you to maintain the high standards that have been set by PLC girls before you. Keep smiling, keep dancing and in the immortal words of S Club 7 (I'm going to look back and regret this) Bring it all Back to You I

The PLC swimming team started the season with a big splash. This year's annual swimming camp was held at Challenge Stadium, which, as you can imagine, was a lot of fun with fifty girls sharing dorms together.

The team continued to train throughout the term, (some considering training with Scotch boys a bonus incentive), with our early morning training sessions being rewarded with well-deserved hot Milos. The team was able to get its first glimpse of competition at the meet against St Mary's and the State Relays which tested both our stamina and strength.

Finally, the big day on all swimmers' calendars arrived.

"THE 10TH OF MARCH". After a fantastic 'send-off' in the sports centre (who could forget S-Club-7) the team arrived at Beatty Park for the Inter School swimming carnival full of enthusiasm and excitement. We finished a fantastic fifth, which is the best we have been placed in the five years I've been at PLC. The night ran smoothly, thanks to the huge efforts of Nicole Dorrington and Mrs Whipp, as well as our coaches Hamish Johnston and Graeme Williams. Best of luck to the PLC swimming team in 2001.

They pike, they sault, they flip, and yes they even twist. Being involved in a highly technical sport which requires hours of training, the little diving squad visited the pool of the challenge stadium, with bright aspirations of what the season would uncover before the school year even began. With the help of coaches Shannon McGillvray and Rebecca Stevens, both former members of victorious PLC Diving teams, the divers managed a noble third position at the IGSSA Diving Championship, sadly to a less than worthy crowd.

PLC, which has established itself as a force to be reckoned with on the diving board, with five wins in the last eight years, were competitive in all years but special congratulations must go to the Year Eights who won their pennant. As an older member of the team, I was inspired by their willingness to learn, and the grace with which they competed. Their skills and those of the other members, may only be recognised as outstanding, and I am in awe of the talent we have in this sporting field.

Though I won't miss the early mornings and the terror of standing on a board at 6.45 in the morning, I will miss the friends I have made through my five years of diving, and the fun we have had (particularly with the bubble I). Best of luck in 2001, I hope to see you back on top.

The year 2000 Tennis sea so n proved to be one of great triumphs. Having a very successful 1999 season, teams this year had something to prove. The fight back began and continued throughout the term without any glitches, beginning soundly with record numbers of competitors such that development squads were introduced. Great sports-womanship was shown by all members and PLC was well represented at interschool levels. Thanks must go to all who were involved in the tennis season, especially Miss Dovey (tennis co-ordinator) and Mrs Whipp (Year 8 tennis) and to each individual team's coaches and captains for their expertise and support.

Celebrations and thankyous were catered for at lunch by the Parents and Friends Association on the 29th of March. This was the inaugural tennis lunch and it was truly a success. Many thanks to the mothers who were involved in this event. The season overall showed great personal improvements and team achievements, with PLC finishing first overall and claiming back the Max Bonner Trophy. Congratulations were in order for the following teams who each won their respective pennants in 2000:

Senior A

Senior B

While the Senior C and Junior B teams came a very close second. Special thanks to Kate Balston of Year Twelve who was a fantastic fill-in for our Senior teams when sickness struck us.

volleyball

Volleyball is a sport which requires clarity of thought, pureness of the heart, the strength of a bull, and the agility of a gazelle.

Our girls have this in spades. (It would appear that the other schools do too). On court this year, our co-ordination and capability were surpassed only by our beauty. Indeed, watching six girls work together - Dig I- Set! - Spike!, like a well oiled machine; a ballet of navy, white and green; is one of nature's greatest miracles.

While we didn't win the pennant, our girls (sorry Warriors), tried valiantly, displaying the strength of character for which we are world renowned.

Congratulations to the defenders of the PLC faith; may you continue to carry with pride the flame lit by those who went before you into a new and exciting era of IGSSA Volleyball.

Second Term saw the 2000 PLC Cross Country team in a very creditable position. Perry Lakes provided cold, uninviting early mornings; however this didn't stop the PLC team but strengthened them in their training pursuits. PLC competed proudly at both the State School Girls and IGSSA competitions.

PLC was awarded second overall in the IGSSA competition for the second time which was very pleasing. The Year Tens won their age group pennant, coming equal first with Penrhos.

Thanks to the coaches, Mrs Whipp, Tim and Tony Gooch and Mr Beckwith for their support, time and effort and good luck to everyone for the 2001 season.

Find me a team which is undefeated and still can't bag the pennant and I'll show you the Senior A Hockey team. Nonetheless, both the Senior B and Year SB teams managed first place, with the Senior A and Junior A teams in second and Year SA team in third, earning PLC an overall second place in the IGSSA Inter School Hockey Competition.

The position of the Senior A Team earned our School a berth in the WA School Sports Buchanan Cup where we performed admirably, but lack of turf experience proved costly.

No doubt the growing sense of community developing between hockey girls and parents has played an enormous part in our successes this season. It has been an uplifting experience to belong to such a spirited and passionate school hockey community, one which I only hope will foster and develop further in years to come.

Sincere thanks must be extended to all coaches and Miss Dovey in particular, who has been encouraging in all actions.

Have the most wonderful time in Hong Kong next year (it's the best trip you'll go on), take full advantage of the opportunity to compete in a faster game with boys and best of luck in the 2001 season. Remember, sticks down for the deflection in the circle and have the courage to make a hero of yourself!

netball

The start to the Netball season 2000 proved to be challenging, yet as the season progressed and more individuals remembered to turn up to training, the teams began to improve and triumphs began to appear.

All teams that entered the competition put in an amazing amount of effort and none of the teams came out of the competition without a victory which was very pleasing.

The Senior As had the chance to play two overseas teams from Wales and England, successfully winning both games.

On behalf of all the netballers this season, we'd like to thank the coaches for their time and effort, especially Ms Barbir for her dedication and hard work.

BRENTWOOD VISITORS WITH PLC SENIOR A TEAM.

With a bundle of enthusiasm the PLC gym team was at it again. Perhaps our greatest achievement was developing the ability to balance on a 10cm wide piece of wood, or perform back flips while still half asleep. A useful skill for those 6.30am, freezing cold, still black outside training sessions! Girls from Years Seven to Twelve all put in a huge effort and are to be congratulated for daring to 'don the Iycra' and for their performances in both the State School Girls' and IGSSA Competitions.

To the untrained eye, schoolgirl rowing consists of early mornings, butch Ifemales, psycho coaches, emotionally unstable individuals, weird machines called 'ergos', headaches and FOOD. To the rowers, it's a season of bright pink sunrises, unbelievable achievements, fun, laughter and the occasional swim with the dolphins. Above all, schoolgirl rowing is about special bonds that develop within a crew and the FOOD.

"AAAhhh, Kamatee, kamattee, chiora chiara! ! !" these were the words that rang out across the river at Canning Bridge the morning of the Head of River as the PLC rowing team made their presence felt. From the very first regatta, the other schools were unable to lose sight or sound of the PLC team as we belted out war crys one after the other, with endless renditions of Scotland the Brave and the new PLC rowing Hakka.

The Head of the River was a great day. The First Quad A crew won their race and received a consistency pennant and the Freshman crew won their eight race (and the consistency pennant) and 2nd division sculls urged on by a large group of supporters, cheerleaders and the PLC Pipe Band. The first eight finished third, behind St Hilda's and Penrhos, who dominated the competition throughout the season. The PLC team was placed second on the day and fourth overall for the season.

In conclusion, thank you to all the rowers, coaches and the Parent Support Group for their enthusiasm and for making my job as Rowing Captain so enjoyable. Good luck for next year!

PLCis developing a tradition of doing very well in the IGSSA Competition. This year we came a close second to Penrhos, but no matter, it gives us something to strive for. Let's just say we're lulling them into a false sense of security. Next year, they will get a rude awakening, as I'm sure we have some Lauren Jacksons or Michelle Timms coming up through the ranks. PLC can say in its brochure "Get with the winning team!" Congratulations to all the girls and best wishes for continued success in the future.

softball

The :2.000 softball season began with the always enjoyable and amusing Inter House competition. It was a great afternoon, with many girls discovering their hidden talents for the sport. The sense of delight when the ball actually stayed in the glove was always fantastic and hitting the ball with that far-tao-narrow bat was just as fulfilling.

The Inter School teams all had fantastic seasons and the level of improvement was amazing. For only three team training sessions before the first game, the teamwork was excellent, with all girls having a lot of fun throughout the season. A huge thank you for the PE staff and coaches for making it all so much fun. It was the Year Elevens last season, so from all of us the best of luck to all future teams and we know that one day you'll put MLC in their place I

Once again, the water polo season started with a large group of enthusiastic girls. However, this enthusiasm seemed to drop as the demanding training programme was announced and the water polo caps were given out. Luckily, as the games went into full swing and the season progressed, there wasn't anything which provided quite as much fun as drowning Pen rhos !

The PLC water polo teams, consisting of three junior and three senior teams, all played their little hearts out and managed to survive the season with a range of triumphs and a huge amount of fun was had by all involved.

arts report

PLC has the most talented actors, musicians, speakers and artists. Yes, when it comes to the Arts no other school comes close. We've displayed our talents everywhere: in the Concert Hall, at His Majesty's, at Christ Church, Scotch College, Trinity, New Norcia and in fact, some have been all over Australia I Congratulations to Nastasya Tay who has been in public speaking finals allover the country. It has been fantastic to see PLC girls of all ages performing and getting involved in the Arts. It is impossible to capture the vitality of every student and the multitude of activities in my report but I'm sure the other captains will give a more specialised account of the year. Junior School Students changed the format of their Arts Day and it was great to see them sharing their talents with the Senior School. First term saw the performances of House Plays. The coordinators produced six very different plays and the high standard of performance is testimony to the organisation and commitment of all involved. The Fair was a huge success; what a magnificent day III Thank you to all parents involved. Your contribution was greatly appreciated, especially by those girls who will benefit from the new cafeteria.

Arts Day is an opportunity for everyone to share her artistic abilities with the PLC community. There were some extraordinary creations that graced the various Arts Day venues. The broad spectrum of talents displayed on Arts Day not only serves to entertain but also surprises, motivates and inspires. All House Choirs came together, just in the nick of time, to present lively and enjoyable pieces. Once again PLC provided beautiful music to waft around eerie (yes, Mrs Miller and Mrs Jones think they've seen ghosts) New Norcia. Even though rehearsals finished at 8:30pm girls continued to play and sing into all hours of the night. Meanwhile the mothers kept sewing the bagpipe covers. The concert at the end of the camp was an impressive culmination of musicianship by the dedicated staff and students. The development of our abilities can be attributed to the support, encouragement and craziness of the teachers - who would have thought that a ghost could put keys in a violin case? Who puts the drama in drama, the athletics in choir (Mr McNess leads the sprint from the music department to assembly) or the uniqueness into PLC Arts activities? It is the teachers. In terms of the wind beneath our wings I also thank all the parents.

Arts Day 2000 provided a spectacular and impressive display of the immense talent within the school in the areas of both creative and performing arts. Included in the wide variety of talent on display were tasty cooking treats, music, singing, dance, photography, textiles and a rather 'creamy' eighties revival, to name a few.

The day provided an opportunity for all to get involved and boast their 'house pride', whilst also providing the chance to showcase the artistic talents of the students, (and their bravery and courage in some cases!). The day finished with the House Choir competition which, as always, was the culmination of much practice and hard work and was a delight to listen to. Much fun was had by all and the day proved to be a great success.

drama

2000 has certainly been a year full of Drama! It kicked off with the 7/8 Drama Club in Term One. The Drama Club activities included circus skills, puppetry and story telling.

At times the House Play Co-ordinators were thrown into a frenzy of organising a cast, crew and play for the annual competition. The plays were excellent and I congratulate all the girls involved, as it was a big task for so early in the year.

The Year Twelve Curriculum Production was an adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The play was an opportunity to showcase the Year Twelve Drama/Drama Studies students' talent and dedication to the subject. The title was a little confusing to some, who thought the show was a cocktail - Tequila Mockingbird! Later in the year, the same group showcased their Original Solo Productions. The students' work moved many people to tears.

As usual in the Drama Department, one production ran into another and before anyone realised the Scotch/PLC production had begun. Midnight Frolics at the Charleston Club was set in a Chicago speakeasy in the 1920S during prohibition times. With dancing girls in flapper dresses and FBI agents in trenchcoats this musical had it all. All cast and crew members gave outstanding performances.

Next came The Broken Doll, the Year 11 Drama/Drama Studies Curriculum Production. The students took excerpts from The Doll Trilogy by Australian playwright Ray Lawler, and wove them into a moving piece of drama.

The Year 9/10 production, To Whom It May Concern, concluded the year's performances. This production was a group devised piece, and the cast and production team should be proud of their efforts.

We should not forget all the technical support this year. The Year 10 Theatre Design and Technology class was the major provider of this expertise to numerous travelling theatre companies. I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank those who spend their time behind the scenes. This year we gained an excellent Theatre Manager, Ms Mullings, but sadly lost her to the bright lights of Sydney. We managed to find an exceptional replacement, Mr Hounslow.

Thank you to Elizabeth and Melanie, who were always willing to lend a hand and to the Drama Staff for their support over the year. Best of luck to Sophia, Sophie and Lucy in 2001.

dance

When you abandon yourself to the music, strange and wonderful things start to happen ... Divine School of Ballet.

Inits first official year, the PLC Dance Company made a flamboyant debut. Twirls, flicks and kicks all came together at Monday afternoon rehearsals as girls took on roles as choreographers, directors and production designers, as well as dancers.

PLC III performed at a lecture by Dr Phillip Taylor in June with a dance that celebrated the notion of 'daring to shine', whilst PLC I and PLC II performed 'L'Audition' and 'Underground' at the IGSSA Dance Festival.

Contemporary, ballet, jazz and 'pop' have all been demonstrated this year and learning was made easier by the new addition of mirrors. We had a fabulous year and good luck to all the girls who take up the opportunity in 2001. 'Dance to your fingertips!'

debating & public speaking

DEBATING

This year all our teams have been extremely successful, despite the senior teams (due to distractions by certain Hale boys) having only fifteen minutes to write an eight minute speech. We have debated all sorts of topics from "That bullying is good preparation for adult life" to "Australia is right to ignore the UN Human Rights Committee", in which Rachael King recited international treaties to the point at which the opposition admitted that they had no idea what we or they were talking about. Well done to everyone who has debated this year and also to the teachers and parents who at one stage formed a record six person audience.

JOANNA BUTCHART, Debating Captain

PUBLIC SPEAKING

It has been an enlightening year for many and following an "if you have something to say then say it" philosophy, our girls have taken risks by standing up in the community and speaking about issues as controversial as anorexia and homosexuality (in front of the Subiaco mayor), and this has forced people to confront these matters, as is evident from the somewhat opinionated responses that we have received.

The year 2000 saw the PLC Public Speaking team truly come into its own, getting involved in some serious competition, and proving to be a source of intimidation and inspiration for the rest of the state. Amy Smith, Sharmila Sripathy, Hayley Macalpine and Alysia Debowski, kept the Black Watch tartan flying high with their amazing efforts and I was fortunate enough to win both the State final of the Plain English Speaking Award and the Rostrum Voice of Youth Competition.

Public Speaking is a life skill that opens so many doors - our girls have been interviewed on National Radio, splashed across the pages of the West Australian, shaken hands with extremely important people, flown around the country and we've had a great time doing it!

It has been an incredible year, due to the talent of the students and the dedication and hard work put in by Mrs Slattery and Ms Jane and I feel certain that the Black Watch girls will continue to dominate in years to come.

mock trials

Remembering the beautiful mornings of mock trials - the birds were singing, the rain was drumming, the sun was shining, the weather was freezing, the maintenance men were working and it was dark. But we think it was all worth it.

PLC had three teams in the Mock Trial Competition this year. All teams had three cases to present and Team A progressed to the next level of the competition before being defeated.

We received fashion tips from schools who aspired to Ally McBeal and still managed to argue our way through flying remote controls, underwear rashes and expensive cocktail dresses.

If 7.30 am sounds early, don't worry, because in 'Yuki-time', it is really 7.50 am I We would like to thank Mrs Butchart, Mrs Bishop, Mrs Moon, Mr Vickers (our lucky mascot) and our coaches 5am Quinn and Mr Lloyd Davies (and also a special thank you to the coffee machine).

stage band

The year 2000 has proved to be yet another successful year for the Stage Band, despite the loss of a large number of Year Twelves. At the first rehearsal of this year, we were somewhat shocked by how much work needed to be done but a few rehearsals later, the foundations had been laid and we were sounding awesome.

Our first school concert was on Open Day where, despite the weather, the performance proved a huge success with teachers, students and visitors. The PLC Fair in April was the Stage Band's next performance where the band played very well. However there was no time to relax, as we had a concert to prepare for at Scotch College for their jazz night. The night itself was a great success and the band played wonderfully (our dancing also deserves a mention!)

The music camp at New Norcia allowed us to perfect Ain't Misbehavin and Mission Impossible for the PLCjScotch Spring Concert at the Perth Concert Hall, and we also played at a fund raiser for the Cancer Foundation.

Thanks must go to Mr Underwood for his dedication and encouragement throughout the year. To the Stage Band Captain of next year: good luck. I'm sure you will find the experience just as enjoyable and rewarding as I have. For the Stage Band of 2001, keep smiling t

concert band

The Year 2000 has proven to be yet another successful and enjoyable year for the PLC Concert Band. We lost a large proportion of the band members at the end of 1999, due to some excellent Year Twelve girls moving onto a new phase in their lives. However, this provided an opportunity for new and keen musicians to join the band.

In the early part of first term, we made our first public appearance at Government House, to signify and support 'Youth Week.' This was very enjoyable and a wonderful way to begin our musical year. In the latter part of Term 1, we performed at the PLC Fair. This was a most successful day and enjoyed by all. I was able to conduct for the first time I This was very exciting, but I have to admit, I was quite nervous

We made our way to New Norcia on Friday 25 th September for our annual music camp. It was once again, a great weekend, filled with not only rehearsals and practice, but also an opportunity to socialise and allow all age groups to mix and to get to know girls from other years. The weather was kind to us for our concluding Concert on the Sunday morning, where family and friends were able to come and enjoy a great day at New Norcia and to soak up the array of musical talent.

Later in Term Three, the Concert Band, along with numerous other ensembles had the opportunity to perform with Scotch College at the Perth Concert Hall for the SpringjPLC Scotch combined concert. I do hope this outstanding concert becomes an annual event. Congratulations to both Scotch College and PLC for an uplifting evening.

I would like to give a very warm thank you to all members of the Concert Band who have made my position so enjoyable and a special thanks must go to our conductor, Mr Underwood.

Congratulations to next year's Band Captain, Trina Tan. You will make a terrific Concert Band Captain and I hope that you enjoy working with the band as much as I have done this year. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all every success in your pursuits for the future.

my appointment as Choir Captain last year I have had many experiences and until now I have not had time to reflect on them. The fun started at music camp this year when all music ensembles headed to New Norcia for the weekend. There were endless rehearsals involved, but the mischief we got up to made it all the worthwhile. Another experience we encountered was the Scotch/PLC combined concert. This was great as we compared bands and choirs in what proved to be a wonderful concert. Overall, the year flew by and I'm sure everyone will leave this year with great memories of the school choir.

chorale

The Chorale has enjoyed another busy year, being involved in a number of choral competitions and for the seventh year has joined the Trinity College Chorale in a number of performances. The combined chorales competed in the Fremantle Eisteddfod and were placed equal second. Together, we also competed in the WA Choral Festival where we received the highest accolade.

In addition, the Chorale had various productive workshops with the Trinity Chorale, under the direction of Dr Robert Braham, which culminated in the Trinity school music night. In anticipation of the International Choral Festival in Sydney next year the combined chorales prepared an audition recording. If successful, both Chorales will travel to Sydney to compete in the competition in 2001.

Towards the end of the year the Chorale combined with the Scotch College Choir and performed at the inaugural combined Scotch/PLC concert. Together with the Scotch College and Methodist Ladies' College chorales we shall perform at the Carols Night in December. The Chorale also sang at a number of chapel services for the Old Collegians' Association.

As always music camp, held at New Norcia, was a highlight of the year. Members of the Chorale put on a concert for all the other music students and rehearsed each of their solo performances in preparation for Arts Day. We performed and rehearsed among the friezes decorating the magnificent chapels which are accoustically perfect. The Chorale is fortunate to have the opportunity to perform in these surroundings.

Congratulations to all the chorale members for such a productive year. Thank you also to Mrs Williamson whose tireless efforts and inspiration ensured our performances were of the highest standard.

I would like to thank all the girls for their dedication to the orchestra, especially for getting to the early Monday morning rehearsals! A big thank you must also go to Ms Coughlan for her efforts this year. I wish the orchestra all the best for next year.

This was very popular with both players and the audience. I would like to thank all the cellists for their enthusiasm and Miss Tingley for her encouragement and support. I hope Cellissima continues to be as enjoyable next year.

c=Jili)e band

000 for the PLC Pipe Band has proved to be a busy yet 2 rewarding year. At the commencement of the year, for the first time, a training band was formed with the purpose of teaching the up and coming pipers and drummers discipline, as well as improving their playing. These girls (mostly comprising Years Eight, Nine, Ten and Eleven) have committed themselves to Tuesday morning rehearsals and will soon be transferred to the senior band.

Our first performance for the year was the Anzac Day Parade in April. This was a highly successful performance which was broadcast on ABC television later that day.

Perhaps the most exciting and innovative performance was the part we played in the combined PLCjScotch Spring Concert at the Perth Concert Hall. The band put a huge amount of effort into this performance and this resulted in a very successful and enjoyable display.

We played again at the Inter School Athletics carnival and although we were interrupted by rain, we received a gratifying applause from the Black Watch girls in the stands at Perry Lakes.

The PLC Pipe Band would not be as busy and disciplined without the enthusiasm and drive injected into each member of the band by Mr and Mrs Jones and Mrs Miller.

Congratulations also to 2001'S Pipe Band Officials and good luck to the band next year at the Australian Pipe Band Championships in Melbourne.

Ir LPIc fair 2000

Abright, sunny Saturday, 1st April, provided the perfect backdrop to the much anticipatd PLC Fair 2000. The culmination of much preparation and hard work resulted in a fun-filled day for all, showcasing rides, music delights, a fashion parade and much more. The many smiling faces and colourful crowds provided just a glimpse into the success of the fair and the enjoyment brought to all involved.

Reduce, re-use, recycle, - the modern version of the increasingly important. three R's. The basis for our education is still reading, writing and arithmetic, however, the need for awareness about our environment has become

PlC has recognised this with the implementation of the Environment Captain's position and initiatives such as our permaculture garden, recycling programme and the annual bus trip to Serpentine, where a group of 'enthusiastic' (synonym for filthy) PlC girls eat copious amounts of junk food and howl along with the AM radio on the bus.

This great excuse for sing-song was the Tree-planting Excursion. Don't get me wrong - every girl on that bus was there because of her concern for the environment and her

desire to 'give a little back' and the day proved very successful.

I would like to thank Mr Eyres and Mrs Gadsdon for their untiring commitment to the green leafy things and to Mrs Bishop for her leadership, knowledge, time and patience.

Many girls have helped in the garden this year. Thank you to Alison Hillman, Natsuda Kasisopha, Satia Pen, Jo Bannister, Belinda Evans, Jasmin Islam.

So while you sang the song (that for so long had been just for me) we drank each other under the table but I think we were under the table for a time too long - his hair was so curly when we emerged(nevertheless, you have no hair)

Black

A screeching bat in a dark cave, Silky black hair getting brushed, Stylish bow ties, A fine liner leaking, A creeping shadow getting closer and closer, A pitch black attic. Delicious liquorice in my mouth, Un Iucky black cats itch i ng with fleas, Death coming closer and closer with bullets. A crow swooping down to catch food, Cockroaches running around, Mascara in a makeup case. Evil spirits flying around and witches shrieking

With laughter, Wellington boots in the rain, A funeral taking place. Black is a mysterious colour.

Perfectly bladed magazines full Of stupid children With pretty eyes. Mother Where was I born?

I've bought a first class ticket And eaten half of it And the clowns just aren't funny

An everchanging afterglow That I've strangled with my mind.

Just then (when the storm came)

I never knew

that you could blow the wind beneath the clouds so fast that it would twirl and leap and grasp at shreds of white; or that the darkness seeping through turned swiftness into night.

I didn't know

the blackened kite, brightening shades of grey tiptoed so sweetly, passion bared, unleashing purple skin; and darkly danced a beggar's wish, untrammeled in the din.

I wouldn't guess

the frozen fist could shatter dented thirst that splintered wings would pierce the flesh reflecting jaded frost; and spear the lens of trembling rage, boiling fluid lost.

and should I sense

a misted face, eterenal crooked grin could flicker shadows quivering thin, a sprouting timid haze; protruding through the sherbet breeze, a luminescent blaze.

'" just now

did you and I and all see shafted broken hands? and would we stare, inhale the gUilt, taste frothing, seething spite? or flash a checkered ray of frills, exposed in violet light

it's deeper now.

pressing silken ice on mottled grey the faceless mass entranced by ruptured gloss, a frightening high; cracking memories swallowed whole silence

blackened sky.

The Wild Brumby

I was sitting under an old oak tree listening to the young robins sing a relaxing song

When I saw a wild brumby, black as ink galloping through the long lush meadow grasses. Her mane was whipping against her strong, muscular, midnight-black body

Every now and then I would hear the soft, low drum-like sound of her hooves thrashing against the hard soil. I followed this trotting beauty.

I followed her through the meadows and forests till at last we stopped at a beautiful lake, all burnt out.

I sat down under some ferns so she would not know I was there

Watching her gracefulness as she stood with alertness.

Surprisingly, more brumbies came and gathered around the glistening lake. The brumby that stood out was herthe beautiful, black brumby. Down she bent to drink the cool lake water in the autumn breeze.

Peeling My Feelings

Slowly through the years I peel away my appearance. I gradually show my inside. The importance of my needs little by little shows on the outside. I cannot live without music. I cannot live without love. I cannot live without friends. And I cannot live without nature. These things are important. And important to share them.

I begin to share my thoughts. I realise how important they are. This leads me to see how friends are important.

Without friends, there is no-one to talk to.

Without friends, life is dull. Friends are very important to me. But music is my life, soul and mind.

Music is everything to me. Music is unique and links to things. When you are in nature, you hear music. You hear the wind whispering words and singing songs. When you speak, you make music. When you walk, you make music. So music is my whole entire life.

Anotherthing I can't live without is family love.

Think about it. What if your family kicks you out of the house? What if you're alone in the world with nobody caring about you? Think about it. We are blessed to have loving families. Love is so important in life.

Love makes the world go round. These things are important but there is something that just isn't right. The thing is family unity.

I want to be with my relatives. I want to be united with my whole family. It would be the happiest thing that ever happened in my life. Family unity is most important to me.

But I am happy at least with my parents.

I know that there are children out in the world without their parents.

But I would be very happy to have family unity.

But where did these things come from?

It all came from the marvellous God Saviour Jesus Christ. Where would we be without Him?

He gave us the entire world to enjoy and we should be thankful.

I still am peeling my feelings. And turning my inside out

THE DANCE OF THE OCTOPUS

As it emerges from its hollow, out into the deep, its eyes flash dangerously and it thrashes its tentacles while it ploughs through the water, swaying carelessly, spinning and bobbing, capturing little fish, sending them to their doom, sweeping across the ocean floor, for this is the dance of the octopus.

My Grandpa

He was not a traitor, Nor was he a liar but a very honest man and a perfect hero for me.

He lived in a very poor village in China with no money or much food but with God's help, he always had all he needed. He had to feed his wife and two children which made it harder but with God's help, only God, he had all he needed.

But the Chinese communists were strict about worshipping God.

They didn't allow people to worship God but my Grandpa trusted in God. God only. There was a day that Grandpa was taken away to a prison cell, so dark and damp, with no food or drink for a long time.

Even though he suffered so much he still prayed to God for guidance.

Back in the house were his wife and two children.

Worried for a long time praying with bitterness. Until one day my Grandpa was freed from prison. They started a new church which now is still there. And he changed many people's lives and touched many hearts. But now he has gone to the joy of heaven.

He was not a traitor, Nor was he a liar but a very honest man and a perfect hero for me.

French Reunion Trip

In late June of 2000, Kim Binnie, Jelena Maticevic, Sam Burton, Siggy Westgarth and myself set out to the tropical French Reunion Island. The island features an active volcano, mountains, waterfalls and beautiful beaches. Having left in the middle of the Australian winter, it felt like paradise to be able to spend days lying on the beach sun baking. After one month of experiencing not only French culture and cuisine, but also the creole culture (not to mention the improvement of my language skills) it was time to leave this unique island and head home.

At the airport there were many sad scenes of people leaving their new found friends and I must admit that it crossed my mind to 'accidentally' lose my passport so that I could stay for longer. The time spent in Reunion was one of the best months of my life and I left with a new motivation to study French.

Gallipoli

The experience of visiting Turkey as a Simpson Prize winner has left me with vivid memories and a deepened understanding. Eight students from across Australia made the pilgrimage in April this year, doing a great deal of sight-seeing in Istanbul before driving to the Gallipoli Peninsula for the Anzac Day services. Along with ten thousand other Australian and New Zealand travellers, we attended the characterbuilding Dawn Service (brrr ) then the Australian service at Lone Pine Memorial and the International Service (which was spoken mainly in Turkish !). I have made some fantastic friends and have had numerous unforgettable experiences. I can now safely say that while Australia is unique, Turkey is a close rival, and one I hope to see again in the near future.

ALYSIA DEBOWSKI, Year 10

Ski Trip

The Ski Trip 2000 was a fabulous trip.

We all skied for 6 days (apart from those of us with broken bones) and then spent the remaining few days in Melbourne, enjoying the shops and footy.

Each day in Falls Creek consisted of waking up nice and early, eating a huge cooked breakfast, and then catching a lift up to the top of the mountain. There were huge amounts of snow which made it easy to ski and each morning we had a lesson for an hour and a half and then free time to ski with friends. For lunch we met in Cloud 9, not only to eat wedges and hot chocolates, but also to defrost our fingers and toes. We all loved lunch because it was the perfect opportunity to check out the cute Scotch guys sitting at the next table, or maybe snowboarders at the table in front of us.

Either way we all loved skiing the whole day out and most of us challenged ourselves to a blue or black run. At the end of the day at our group meeting in the TV room, we listened to embarrassing stories about what everyone got up to during the day and from these, the Wally of the Day was voted in. This lucky person had to wear the stunning red vest at dinner and was known to everyone in the lodge as the PLC Wally.

After we'd learnt all we could about decor in the 70'S at the Falls Creek Lodge, we moved onto Melbourne to try the shopping. Each night we came home with hundreds of bags in our hands and smiles from ear to ear.

We all had a fantastic time on the ski trip and many memories come to mind when one mentions it. With quiz and movie nights every night, everyone had heaps of fun.

Leadership for Women of the Future Conference

When: December of last year, while everyone else was enjoying their first week of summer holidays.

Who: Mel Davies, Ivana Pearce and Carolyn Wood.

Where: Ipswich Girls Grammar, in hot and sticky Queensland.

The week involved 150 newly appointed school leaders from independent girls' schools from all over Australia and New Zealand, living in a boarding house and getting to know each other, sharing ideas and learning how to be better leaders in our school and in years to come. The conference was really informative and it definitely helped us in our roles this year. Most interesting aspect: seeing how fash ion differs between states.

Best tourist attraction: Pauline Hanson's fish and chip shop.

German Exchange

Ifyou like really long flights next to guys who snore and laugh in their sleep, beer, cigarettes, mashed beetroot, being so cold your jaws freeze and going out till four in the morning, go to Germany! I had an amazing time, dancing in the snow in Berlin, cross country skiing in the mountains, eating rare steak at Christmas and stealing spoons from the marzipan cafes. However, the best part was my teacher buying me beer l Thanks Mrs Butchart.

AMY SMITH, Year 12

Japan Trip

Idon't think there's a word to describe my exchange in Japan that fully expresses how fantastic and unforgettable it was, but I do know that it was the best four months of my life. Bronwyn Kerr and myself were given the great opportunity to spend four months at PLCs sister school, Tsushima Girls' High School in Nagoya. Thanks to our great host families and Japanese friends, we felt really welcome and settled in quickly.

Japanese culture and lifestyle is very different to what we were used to in Australia and we both enjoyed the challenges it brought and had many amazing experiences along the way.

KATE HENDRY, Year 11

Adelaide Drama Tour

The Adelaide Arts Festival Tour was a9 day immersion in almost every type of theatre imaginable: dance, puppetry, music, drama, comedy, opera, performance art and so on. It was time to be challenged and confronted. The fourteen TEE Drama Studies students, Jenny Hetherington and myself, never stopped questioning the purposes and definitions of art.

Ms REBECCA CODY, Head of Drama

Adelaide was great. I think apart from anything it made me realise that I want a career in the theatre, or at least, I'll keep going with it after school, but I've also realised I don't want to act.

I think that what I found most interesting were the technical productions such as Eat Your Young and Writing to Vermeer

I loved the whole trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you.

Year Ten French Class Excursion

At the beginning of Term three, the Year Ten French classes caught a bus down to Moray near Dwellingup for a day of French with the Year Ten class from Scotch College.

The day was filled with different group activities, including Soules (French bowls), listening to French pop music and participating in lots of quizzes. On top of that we ate lots of French food such as croissants and pain au chocolat.

The orienteering was for some a slippery and muddy experience, made even more challenging by the disappearance of the markers. However, by the end of the day our French had improved significantly and many friendships had been formed. Thank you to Mme Leong, and Mme McGuinness for organising the event. It was a fun-filled French-speaking day for all

INSTEP STUDENTS LEARN ON THE JOB

Every Wednesday, eighteen Year Eleven and Twelve INSTEP students spend the day learning in a very different environment from the regular school classroom. They are working in retail shops, offices, hospitals, hotels and cafes, child care centres, fashion design houses, vet clinics, architectural and design offices. The list is as long as the students' placement preferences.

This innovative programme allows students who learn in more practical ways to develop their skills in a real workplace, where trained employers supervise their development of employment skills in a wide variety of industries.

I really would recommend I NSTEP to anyone who is wanting more of a hands-on experience and to learn skills with people. I have thoroughly enjoyed INSTEP this year and cannot wait to begin again next year.
