Columba 2009 All Saints’ College 29th Edition While 2009 saw some exciting new developments to the physical landscape of the campus, our students continued to shine across all aspects of College life. The diverse talents and interests of our students are nurtured in a supportive learning environment. The wide variety of academic, cultural, sporting and service opportunities available to our students is highlighted throughout this edition of Columba, none of which would be possible without the dedication and guidance of our hard-working staff. Thank you to all students, staff and College community members who have contributed their written reflections and photographs for this yearbook. In particular, I acknowledge the efforts of Year 12 student Eric Chan, who has shown maturity and initiative in his capacity as Publications Captain. Together with the support of the student Publications Committee, their help to collate content and meet tight deadlines was much appreciated. I wish the Class of 2009 leavers all the happiness and success they deserve for the future. As we reflect on a vibrant and colourful year, I hope Columba 2009 provides wonderful memories for all students now, and in the years to come.

From the Publications Captain
From the Principal
I relished this experience and found it to be rewarding in its own right. The chance to work with many hard-working and passionate individuals was particularly enjoyable. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Miss Sian Orchard for the dedication, support and warmth she afforded the Publications Committee and to me personally.
One of the greatest honours and pleasures one has as Publications Captain is being able to present the Columba to the All Saints’ College community. I now do so with pride, as what lies between these covers is an honest reflection of what was a fruitful and exciting year for the College. All Saints’ College celebrates a wide range of abilities and talents – be they displayed on the sporting field, in the classroom, or even on the Sydney Opera House stage – and the Columba is testament to this.
Thank you also to the Publications Committee members, some of whom have served on the Committee with me for many years. I cannot stress enough the value of their service and would encourage others, especially those in younger years, to seek involvement in this fulfilling pursuit.
To the outgoing class of 2009, I give my best wishes for whatever happens next. While the future is anything but concrete, I think I speak on behalf of the cohort when I say with confidence that in looking back on our time at the College, we will find nothing but fond memories.
As I have written and said in many places, the research indicates that school types do not cause advantages, academically, socially or behaviourally. However, a good school can create an advantage because of its understanding of its students.
I hope the Columba will be an enduring source of this sentimentality.
A small number of single-sex schools around the world have incorporated understandings of gender differences into the learning environment they provide; oddly, almost no co-educational schools have done so.
Eric Chan Publications Captain
For me, the most exciting direction however, was in our effort to improve the quality of our provision of co-education. It was a major goal this year to adjust our teaching styles and strategies specifically to suit the fact that we have both genders interacting in our classes.
My personal experience this year was an overwhelmingly positive one. With the expanded role of Publications Captain, I was able to work more closely with the Student Council, assisting in the administration and organisation of meetings.
It is because of our wish to achieve this in a real way that we started to investigate more sophisticated management of student behaviours; in this quest, the Gurian Institute has become an invaluable ally. They visited us in October to work with all of our teaching staff and help us develop greater understanding of our students’ behaviour, from Kindergarten to Year 11, and to evolve strategies for gaining the best learning outcomes for all.
This will give us the richness of boys and girls learning in each other’s company and learning from each other, while learning the curriculum: the ideal form of schooling. So, in a year of many physical changes to our campus, the most exciting change was to the nature of the way we educate. How appropriate that is. The heart and mind of our schooling are central and of the essence, our life-force, while the physical body of our school also changes but so as to provide the best environment for how we all learn.
Dr Geoffrey Shaw Principal
All Saints’ College was fortunate to make a connection with the Gurian Institute from Colorado, which specialises in schoolstraining in the management of girls’ and boys’ behaviours and learning needs.

2009 saw the College progress in many dimensions. Perhaps most apparent was that, following the development of the extremely popular Common, we made excellent progress with our new gymnasium-hall, we are ready to start extensions to the Senior School Library and are well advanced in preparing to build a performing arts theatre.
The week we spent with trainers from the Institute was enormously valuable and will certainly provide a foundation for much of our teaching from now on.

As a top quality co-educational school, we must ensure that our girls retain their femaleness and our boys, their maleness. We must also ensure that those students whose behaviours do not typify the generalisations about their gender are nurtured and made secure, and are not excluded by their atypicality. We must guard against simply accepting the stereotypes, teaching to them and reinforcing them so students do not grow in depth, complexity and multidimensionality.

From the Board of Management Chairperson
Planning is also well advanced on a new Performing Arts Theatre which will enhance the College’s Music, Dance and Drama programs.
2009 was an eventful and successful year for All Saints’ College. In Term 1, Father Braden Short as Acting Principal ensured that it was business as usual on the campus while Dr Shaw took up a Klingenstein Fellowship at Columbia University in the United States. Dr Shaw returned from his Sabbatical Studies full of enthusiasm for exploring the benefits of co-education and ensuring that All Saints’ continues to pursue best practice in this area.
A Strategic Vision exercise to inform future Master Planning is also in progress. An external consultant worked with College staff to look at our strengths and weaknesses and a Satisfaction Survey was conducted with recent past students. Board members will be involved in the next stage of the process and feedback will be sought from the wider All Saints’ College community. This year the Board thanked and farewelled three members: Professor Warren Kerr AM, Mr Bryson Derbyshire and Mr Craig Lawrence AM.
Chaplain Chatter
We welcomed their successors: Mr Peter Gow, an All Saints’ College parent with extensive project management experience, Hon. Christian Porter MLA, the State Attorney General, and Dr Sue van Leeuwen, Chief Executive Officer of Leadership Western Australia. It is a great privilege to Chair such a talented, energetic and visionary Board whose members so generously work with Dr Shaw to create a vibrant learning community at All Saints’. This magazine records the events and achievements of 2009. It is a wonderful reminder of a good year!
Mrs Judith Cottier AM Chair, Board of Management
With this understanding there often comes the belief that our children and teenagers lack discipline, motivation to achieve, and respect. Yet if we look closely we find that throughout history not much has changed. For Peter the Monk (667CE) wrote:
His Klingenstein Fellowship research and findings informed much of the Board of Management’s direction this year. New initiatives included establishing Foundation Staff Awards to encourage staff to undertake relevant studies and explore initiatives, and visits by experts from the United States to evaluate and advise staff on teaching strategies for coeducation classes. The Master Plan Working Party of the Board was busy with the Capital Works Program. The windfall of a $3 million Federal Government grant as part of the ‘Building the Education Revolution’ saw construction commence on a new Multi-Function Hall. This Multi-Function Hall will serve all students of the College as an assembly centre and gymnasium. The unanticipated government funding enabled the Board to proceed also with a much-needed extension to the Senior School Library.

I find it easy to be drawn into the commonly held perception, promulgated by the media, which shows our society becoming a more dangerous and fearful place. One sees the outcome of this mindset as walls go up, security systems abound, security firms grow and as news services continue to spread fear with 30-second grabs about crime sandwiched between advertisement breaks; not much time to hear stories in depth...
“Teenagers today are self-centred without respect for parents and older people, impatient about rules and responsibilities. They think they know everything, and as for the way girls dress…”

Labels and generalisations, however, can go both ways. Our children can rightly look at our lives, society and the environment and ask why we have not taken more responsibility and stopped waste, destruction of our environment, political turmoil and segregation of peoples by race, religion or creed. This year much has happened in and around our College community that belies the stereotypes we find easy to accept about young and old alike.
Nathan Holbrook, one of our Year 6 students, took to heart the needs of others by raising single-handedly more than $2500 as part of the 40 Hour Famine for children in poverty. Seeing firsthand the plight of others, he led by example with creative fundraising activities ranging from his newspaper round to a 40km sponsored bicycle ride. Year 9 student Dane Cocliff participated in the Great Escapade Bike Ride in the South West. This was a 150km ride over two days. Together with his brother, he raised $595 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Mrs Gigi Thiele, Head of Languages, and her eight-year-old son Steven who is a student of the College, travelled to Mozambique as part of their Church’s mission to the needy. Seeing the plight of the poor, those suffering the effects of HIV and those who had lost their parents, led them to help support an orphanage, child health clinic, build play equipment and teach nutrition while supporting community leaders in the city of Beira. As you will find on page 145 of this edition of Columba, the College community, young and old, helped and supported a huge number of charities this year – a commitment of which I am very proud. The wise men some 2000 years ago followed a star and travelled to a place of relative poverty to look in wonder at a newly born child who had the ability to change the world. Within a 33-year period he was dead, but the ramification of his compassion and teaching of acceptance of all people and as being uniquely able to make a difference if encouraged, continues to ripple through our All Saints’ College community today. Arthur C Clarke wrote:
How can it be, in a world where half the things a man (sic) knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 – and half the things he knows at 40 hadn’t been discovered when he was 20?” Our students achieved this year on many levels and in ways that many of us who are older might never have dreamt of when we were their age. Let us give thanks for their creativity, compassion and leadership. Let us, like the wise men of old, look for the stars and give thanks as we watch in wonder as they prepare to take on the future. May we not consider ourselves too wise that we have nothing to learn, for the world we face together, is a world that remains unknown until tomorrow. May God’s blessing be upon us as we face the future together. May we break the stereotype of fear of difference in our society that we so easily acquiesce to and instead embrace the power and wisdom that can be found in every generation. In so doing, we will live out the call of Christ to, “love our God and our neighbour as ourselves”. Saint Francis is purported to have said it in a different way: “it is only in the giving of ourselves, that we receive”. 2009 was a year of giving and surprise. May 2010 be a year in which we continue to give thanks for all we have, and care for the many who are less fortunate than ourselves. I look forward to working with our students and families as we face the coming year together. May we be blessed as we have been a blessing to others.

From the Parents and Friends’ Society
2009 was another active year for the Parents and Friends’ Society as we worked hard to promote community spirit and support College activities. It all began with the hugely successful Pasar Malam (Night Market). Once again, the Fairway was ablaze with colour and festivity on a balmy summer’s night. The aim was to have a relaxed, fun, sociable and entertaining evening in which the whole College community could be involved, and this year’s event certainly achieved that. In early May, the P&F hosted a welcome back function for Dr Shaw following his extended study leave in the United States. He provided the large group of assembled parents with the latest research findings into co-education and his observations from schools in the United States. In May, the P&F also hosted an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to raise money for the Cancer Council. Parents and staff had the opportunity to purchase muffins and barista coffee, kindly donated by Rubra. Junior School students wore a crazy hat for the day, for a gold coin donation. More than $700 was raised for cancer research. The following evening the Quiz Night was held with many prizes and spot quizzes. Craig from Number One Music Quiz fired out the music and general knowledge questions and kept everyone entertained. The Kids’ Club run by Laurie Neill and her team was a success, with more than 95 children making the most of this facility. The Student Council members helped enormously with both the Kids’ Club and the Quiz Night. In September, we supported the Parkerville Kids’ Fun Run for the first time. The event was promoted by the P&F and the College, and it was a joy to see so many All Saints’ students get involved, and in doing so, help children less fortunate than themselves. The run was held on the South Perth Foreshore, with plenty of convenient parking. It was a fun and enjoyable morning and we hope to see many more families join in next year. Page 6 — Columba 2009
This year we were again proud to sponsor several students who took part in a wide variety of sporting and cultural activities both interstate and overseas. The P&F welcomes applications from all eligible Junior and Senior School students. While the Committee coordinated Collegewide activities on a year group level, Parent Social Coordinators organised gettogethers such as coffees and dinners. A key enabler is the Parent Contact Lists for each year group. This year we streamlined the process and used information directly from the College database, with parents’ permission. Although there were some teething problems, we anticipate the system will become more user-friendly moving forward. The Ladies’ Forum unfortunately ceased activity this year. However, they were delighted to put funds raised in previous years towards some new Junior School playground equipment. The Friends of Music group continues to support many students who play an instrument or sing.
From the 2009 College Captains
from the store were applied to capital projects around the College such as the canopy over the Junior School Amphitheatre and the creation of The Common. As the College has grown and matured, the need for the P&F to run the store has become less important, as has the need for the P&F to help fund capital works. After considerable discussion, the P&F and College agreed that the College would take over management of the Uniform Store. The College will run the store and use the current profit margin to continue to improve services to parents. The P&F is now free to concentrate on its strengths of supporting students and building the College community through P&F initiatives such as that started in 2008, the annual start-of-year community event in the Pasar Malam. Our funding will continue to come from the annual family subscription.

Even though we look forward to stepping out into the ‘real’ world, All Saints’ College holds special memories for us all. The school is constantly changing, but memories remain and we will always look back fondly at this time in our lives. One wonders where everyone will be in 10 or 20 years. We look forward to the future, to reuniting with all our friends again, and we hope that everyone finds success and happiness.
The year is all but complete, certainly for the graduating class; after 12 years we are finally leaving All Saints’ and stepping out into the world. It was an extraordinary experience for the 2009 leavers, and we are sure the future holds many more wonderful experiences for us all. We would like to wish the best of luck to those who are graduating and to those who are continuing their studies at the College.
Sonia Arakkal & Nicholas Nielsen 2009 College Captains
Many of this year’s events, from the successful Bushfire Appeal to the College Ball, would not have been possible without the work of the highly talented and dedicated members of the 2009 Student Council. They were extraordinarily easy and pleasant to work with, and we would like to thank them for their efforts. Throughout the year, Dr Shaw, Ms Aguiar, Mrs Dale and Father Braden extended unrelenting support and encouragement to the students of All Saints’. To all of our teachers, thank you for your invaluable guidance, without which none of our achievements would have been possible.

From the Academic & Environment Captains
Academic
Environment
This year, Mrs Dale and I sought to accelerate the start of the Academic Assistance Program. In doing so, we created a group of willing Years 11 and 12 tutors. It is pleasing to say that these tutors were able to make remarkable academic progress with several students, and guide them throughout the academic year.
At the start of this year the number of people who came to the Environmental Group was, well, minimal; three in total, including me. So while the year did not begin so well, with a few publicity stunts (including me dressing as a frog in front of the school assembly) the numbers soon increased steadily. By the start of Term 3 we had nine people who attended the group regularly from Years 7, 8, 10 and 12. Although I would like to take the credit for this achievement, I must thank members of the Environmental Group for their dedication and for showing initiative by encouraging their friends to attend.
Debating maintained its steady presence for the duration of the year to see some of our lower secondary year groups attain respectable results in the West Australian Debating League Competition. I would like to extend my thanks to Mr Heron and the Debating Coordinators for their continued involvement and support. My role as Academic Captain and the entire Year 12 experience, provided several opportunities for personal growth and development, which will undoubtedly prove to be invaluable for the future. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Mrs Dale, who was extremely supportive, accommodating and helpful in all areas of my portfolio. I implore my successor to continue these above duties and to incite further change in the attitudes of students at the College. In doing so, they can feel more empowered and motivated to achieve even greater heights academically.
Fabien Chetty Academic Captain
As the year progressed, the Environmental Group became more involved with the Bull Creek community, who helped to maintain plants over the holidays by keeping them hydrated with water from the creek. With the addition of new members from lower secondary years, the Environmental Group’s image changed and we diversified in our topics of conversation and the people who attended. Although our topics of conversation did occasionally dwell on computer games and the latest sci-fi television show, we often discussed school work, sport, what happened on the weekend, and everything in between! As my time at the College comes to an end, I feel confident in the direction the Environmental Group is heading, the possibilities for the group in years to come, and the way the environment is perceived in the wider school community. Thank you to all who attended the Busy Bees and meetings during the year. You helped to make it one of the Environmental Group’s best years yet!

From the Functions & Sports Captains
The Functions Captain portfolio this year involved two terms of hard work which included organising the Year 12 Ball, Leavers’ Jackets and the Year 11 Dinner Dance.
These functions all contribute to the special experience that comes with being in the upper secondary years of high school, particularly Year 12.
Heron, and finally, a big thanks to the Student Council, and in particular those students who were involved in the various functions committees.
It is impossible to ignore that an event is defined by its guests; thus it is only fitting I give my sincere thanks to the 2009 leavers, as they were open minded and supported everything I had the pleasure to organise.
On a final note, I wish the entire Year 12 cohort and any other students I was involved with at the College, all the very best for the future. I hope I helped to make the Year 12s’ final year as memorable as possible.
I also extend a sincere thank you to Ms Helen Aguiar, for her guidance and support. Mr Tim Brown offered many years of experience and advice which made my role much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you also to Mr Marc

Music recitals are held at various times throughout the year, providing the perfect stage for students to become more familiar with live performances. These, combined with the College Music Concert, are wonderful opportunities to showcase our students’ musical abilities. This year’s production of Little Shop of Horrors saw an integration of the art forms with Dance and Music incorporated seamlessly throughout the Drama performance. In Term 3 the Dance Concert provided our dancers with an opportunity to Dare to Dream.
As Performing Arts Captains in 2009, this year was both challenging and exciting. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to work towards a more cohesive and interrelated development of the performing arts. The students’ abilities were tested at a higher level this year and we witnessed them rise to the challenge admirably. As a result, 2009 saw an even higher standard of performing arts and we built up our profile as an arts school. We are proud to farewell All Saints’ at the end of this year, leaving behind a legacy and a continually developing group of highly skilled students.
Future Prospects Yet again the three ACC Carnivals proved to be successful, with the All Saints’ College Swimming Team winning the ‘A’ Division Carnival for the fourth consecutive year. The Cross-Country Carnival saw the All Saints’ team achieve a strong result, this year finishing 10th out of more than 50 schools. The training turnouts were most impressive during the Athletics season, with some 80 students attending training most afternoons. We believe it was this commitment that helped ASC achieve second place in the ‘C’ Division Athletics Carnival.
Sport at the College took on a new structure this year with two Sports Captains, creating endless opportunities and excitement.
From the Performing Arts Captains
During the year the ACC Interschool Carnivals took place with exciting results. A special mention must go to the Girls’ Tennis Team and both the ‘A’ and ‘B’ Division Netball Teams for reaching the Inter-zone Final. The ‘A’ Netball team did extremely well to come away with an impressive eight-goal win. Not to be outdone was the very ‘serious’ staff versus students competition that took place throughout the year. This saw staff and students compete against each another in a gruelling test of strength and agility in Soccer, Netball and Wicket Ball.
We thoroughly enjoyed being Sports Captains during this successful year at the College, but we could not have done it without the continual support of the Physical Education Department, especially Miss Haendel and Mr Beath. Thanks also to Ms Sian Angel who was critical in helping to organise the Old Saints’ Sports Day, and finally the Student Council, whose support throughout the year made the events more enjoyable for all. To next year’s Sports Captains, we wish you all the best for an enjoyable and fulfilling 2010 and we know you will continue to develop the strong sporting culture at All Saints’. To the remaining students, we thank you for your commitment this year and encourage you to participate in all activities the College has to offer, because sport is an integral and rewarding part of the College community and lifestyle.
The Arts at All Saints’ College grow in strength each year, and the 2009 performances certainly saw a continuation of this trend. The College offers a huge range of events and opportunities for students interested in Dance, Music and Drama. The main performances in the annual College program include the Production, Dance Concert and Music Concert. For the first time in 2009, the Year 12 Performance Evening was also introduced to the performing arts program.
We are excited about the growth of performing arts at the College with the announcement of plans to construct a new Performing Arts Centre in the near future. This year also saw the implementation of the TEE Dance course. This now means all faculties of the performing arts can be used as qualifying subjects in the TEE, giving greater opportunity for our students to continue their passion within the arts at a tertiary level.

From the Head of Junior School
Janet Wiren continued to ably support the pastoral care of the students in the Junior School. I know many of you appreciated her assistance at times.
All Saints’ College Junior School continues to thrive in a rapidly changing world and under new leadership. This is due to the strong and committed team of professional teachers, support staff and the proactive, visionary direction of the Management Team. I am pleased to be part of such a team, working wholeheartedly and actively. Needless to say, the students in our care are a delight and joy to work with. I have appreciated the efforts of Sara Mano and Jill Dinsdale, who this year led the Early Childhood Centre with care and thoughtfulness, incorporating many exciting initiatives while keeping the needs and interests of the children as their focus. The ECC team is a strong group of teachers and staff members who, as professionals, have much to offer our students and the wider teaching community. This was demonstrated recently when the staff presented their teaching and learning ICT program to teachers from other IPSHA schools. The friendly and upbeat atmosphere in the ECC is always evident, making it a lovely place to visit.
Page 14 — Columba 2009
The Friendly Schools Program continued to be used effectively and the commitment is to have happy, thriving children who feel safe to extend their learning. This, along with the strong relationship that our teachers form with their students and the Christian ethos that carries through in Religion and Philosophy lessons and Chapel services, continues to reinforce the positive and important pro-community message. Phil Randall worked with Years 3 to 6 staff to deliver an exciting curriculum that enabled students to demonstrate their academic learning potential. Some great academic achievements were realised this year and importantly, many students made great personal gains. Special focus times such as Inquiry Week highlighted particular aspects of learning and encouraged students and teachers to collaborate in an effective and practical manner.
2009 Student Leaders
I would like to personally thank the Junior School Administration staff Marian Hogan and Kerry Wishart, for the helpful and practical manner in which they support me and other College staff, and for their positive and friendly nature when relating to parents, students and visitors.

The practical contribution of the P&F was appreciated and enjoyed by the children. I look forward to their continued support. As we move towards the end of 2009, I thank you all for your positive contribution to the Junior School and I look forward to a new year with optimism, excitement and confidence.

This year was a triumph in the area of Performing Arts with our choirs winning for the third consecutive time at the Fremantle Eisteddfod. Many soloists also achieved excellent results and were a credit to the College and their Instrument Tutors and Music Teachers. The opportunity provided by our Soirées developed the performance skills and confidence of our students. Arts Alive III at the Octagon Theatre, UWA was a wonderful showcase of Dance and Music. I am appreciative of the amazing amount of energy, expertise and commitment of the staff members involved. The IPSHA Performing Arts Festival at Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre allowed us to perform to other schools and demonstrate our talent and skills with great confidence and flair.

“Heeeere’s Drummond!”
Drummond House Captains’ Report
Our first event for 2009 was the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. We were feeling confident and looking forward to success in the pool as we set up banners at the Drummond station before the first groups of children arrived. The Drummond swimmers responded well to our enthusiastic House chants. The first carnival was for the ECC children and we were thrilled to learn that Drummond finished in first place. The second carnival was for the Years 3-6 students. It was a close competition, we worked hard and cheered loudly, but at the end of the day we were beaten into third place. Well done to Riley who were champions on the day. Our fundraising event in Term 1 was a Crazy Hair Day. The Student Leaders enjoyed working with Olivia and Jamie, modelling crazy hair ideas to inspire the other students. This was a fun event which raised an impressive amount of money for victims of the Queensland floods. The final House event for Semester I was the Interhouse Cross-Country Carnival. Everyone was excited to be there, running for their House. The cheers and chants were great and we felt proud as we ran past our House bay, to be supported by other members of our team. It was a good example of the kind and caring people we have at All Saints’ College!
Semester II was a busy time for the House Captains as we worked hard to organise and present the Junior School Assemblies, helped out with fundraising events for a variety of different charities, and supported our House members in the It’s Academic competition.
A great effort Drummond!
Our main event in Semester II was the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. Again, we worked hard to prepare our House bay, practise our chants and organise the younger children. The weather stayed fine, we slapped on our sunscreen and bright green zinc and gave it our all! With great enthusiasm everyone took part in a range of events including long jump, turbo javelin, hurdles and sprints. It was a fantastic day for Drummond with plenty of team spirit.
Olivia Bate & Jamie Ligovich House Captains, Semester I Alicia Davies & Brandon Rees House Captains, Semester II Mrs Karen Donnelly Head of House
At the end of the carnival we waited nervously for the results – again the competition was close and Drummond took third place.

“Who’s Going to Win? Riley of Course!”
Riley House Captains’ Report
Riley was hopeful 2009 would be better than any other year, and this certainly proved to be true. In Semester I, Riley was off to a dashing start with a win at the Swimming Carnival. Everyone swam as hard as they could and Riley was unstoppable. Students turned up with their mascots and cheered their team members on. This spirit certainly helped Riley to achieve first place. The Mother’s Day Raffle was a huge success this year thanks to some fantastic prizes that were kindly donated to the Junior School. We raised lots of money which will go towards helping our sister school in Bali. Not a House to rest, Riley was off and racing at the Interhouse Cross-Country Carnival. The mascots were back in action, as well as those Riley running legs! With determination and courage, Riley managed to get across the line and win the Cross-Country Shield for the second time. As part of the Junior School’s fundraising endeavours, House Captains decided it would be a good idea to raise money for the Queensland flood victims who lost their homes and possessions earlier in 2009. The Junior School held a Crazy Hair Day for a gold coin donation. There were some interesting styles and some were just plain crazy!
Page 20 — Columba 2009
The success continued for Riley House in Semester II. From the first shot of the gun Riley was off and racing down the track. Huffing and puffing, mighty throws, giant leaps, team cooperation and fantastic cheering all contributed to Riley winning the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. It was a tremendous effort by everyone. Not only did Riley win the carnival, but also the Shield for the most improved team in 2009.
Everywhere we go People want to know Who we are, so we tell them We are from Riley, Mighty, mighty Riley Goooooo RILEY!
Fundraising efforts continued in Term 3 with a great Father’s Day raffle. Many children bought raffle tickets for their hard-working Dads and fabulous prizes were won. Money raised was donated to the Cancer Research Foundation to continue working towards a cure for cancer patients. 2009 was a fantastic year for Riley House. Captains and Year 6 students will fondly remember this year as their best ever, as they prepare to head up to the Senior School in 2010.

“Come on, you can do it Molloy!”
Molloy House Captains’ Report
Molloy tried hard and gave its best effort in every event and activity throughout the year with its usual determination, tremendous passion and enthusiasm.
Semester I Everyone cheered their hearts out at the Swimming Carnival. We all did an incredible job of encouraging and supporting our swimmers, with Molloy finishing in third place. Molloy students had a great time at the Swimming Carnival and gave it their best shot. The It’s Academic Competition began with students from Years 3-6 competing in year groups to earn a place among the brainiest at All Saints’ College. Year 5 Molloy students certainly did us proud, winning the competition for their year level – well done! The Cross-Country Carnival was a great success and everyone participated with great enthusiasm. Molloy’s House bay was a wave of yellow with many banners and streamers. The yellow House shirts also stood out brightly in the crowd. All Junior School Houses combined to raise money for Queensland flood victims by organising a Crazy Hair Day. It was a great success, raising more than $300. The Mother’s Day raffle was another joint House fundraiser for people affected by the Victorian Fires. Students brought in some money to buy a gift for their Mums at the Mother’s Day stall. The gifts included pens, key rings, candles and mugs with lollies inside. Thank you Molloy for lining up so patiently to purchase gifts and a big thank you to those people who organised the stall. We also continued to support our sister school in Sudaji, Bali as part of the Adopt-a-School program. Thank you to all students for supporting our fundraising efforts.
Page 22 — Columba 2009
Semester II Our first event in Semester II was the 40 Hour Famine. Many students went without food, furniture and even talking! The Junior School raised an incredible amount of money from this fundraiser and congratulations to all Molloy students who participated in this worthwhile cause. Our second event was the Athletics Carnival. Molloy put in a great effort and we were proud to support House members in their individual and team events. We saw some great results from the team games and relays, but unfortunately we finished fourth by one point! It was great to see everyone showing fantastic sportsmanship towards the other Houses. Molloy’s final event was the Father’s Day raffle and all of the money raised went to the Cancer Council. Some of our Dads were extremely spoilt with $100 gift vouchers, car cleaning kits, a signed West Coast Eagles football or a sports pack. We also continued to support our sister school in Sudaji, Bali.
We also enjoyed the privilege of sitting up the front at Assemblies and especially having the opportunity to sit next to Dr Shaw and Mrs Crane on the stage. We would like to say a special thanks to Ms Parker for all her help, advice and encouragement. Thank you also to Mr Randall and Mrs Chapman for doing all they could to help Molloy.
Jesse Mason & Hayley Joyce House Captains, Semester I Nic Ramsay & Isabella Tufilli House Captains, Semester II Ms Fiona Parker Head of House
We hope everyone in Molloy House continues to shine and do their best in 2010. Go Molloy!
As the 2009 Molloy House Captains, we had a ball working with the magnificent Molloy team and were very proud to be elected to this position. Thank you Molloy for being great sports and showing fantastic cooperation throughout the year. We had a great time decorating the House boards with yellow smiley faces, balloons, flowers, butterflies and pictures of Molloy students in action at the different carnivals.

Our Year in Year 5 (Semester I)
Our Year in Year 5 (Semester II)
Throughout Year 5 our learning journey was filled with lots of questions and strategies for carefully researching our answers. In Term 1 we asked many questions about the resources in our unique and wonderful state of Western Australia. Our questions included ‘What is a resource?’, ‘What resources occur naturally in WA?’, ‘In which parts of WA do we find our resources?’, ‘What are the resources used for?’ and ‘Why do we sell some of our resources to other states and countries?’.
Page 36 — Columba 2009
We discovered lots of interesting information about the gold, diamonds, coal, nickel, pearls, oil and gas produced in WA. We even held a debate about whether or not uranium should be mined in WA. During Term 2 our Science Inquiry took us into the amazing world of plants. We were each assigned a mystery plant and developed ‘green fingers’ as we carefully researched its scientific and common name, its classification, its uses and most importantly, how to care for it.
We found answers to the following questions during this term: ‘How do we measure the age of a tree?’, ‘Are some plants poisonous?’, ‘What is the world’s tallest grass?’, ‘What is the world’s largest seed?’ and ‘Can plants grow through ice?’. We are now much more knowledgeable and observant whenever we visit a park or garden.
In Term 3 our learning journey took us to Japan. Our inquiry challenge was to find out how life in Japan compares to life here in Western Australia. Our questions this term included ‘How are meal times different in Japan compared to Australia?’, ‘Why are the Japanese so good at technology?’, ‘What tourist attractions are there in Japan?’, ‘What kinds of plants and trees grow in Japanese gardens?’ and ‘What do Japanese children like to do when they are not at school?’.
We used books, websites, video, brochures, artefacts and one or two ‘experts’ to answer our questions. We really enjoyed learning about life in Japan!
We also thought a lot about our school community as we prepared to become the 2010 role models and student leaders for the Junior School.
During Term 4 we asked questions about our local government. Our questions this term included ‘What is our local council?’, ‘Why do we need a local council?’, ‘How does the local council help the community?’, ‘What is the difference between a service and a facility?’ and ‘How do you become a local councillor?’.
We went on an amazing learning journey this year! We can’t wait to work with our Year 6 teachers to answer many more questions!

Junior School Camps Choral Kickstart Camp & Year 5 Bickley Camp J
Year 5 Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp Our hearts were racing as we hopped on the bus for our 45-minute drive to Bickley and our first school camp. When we arrived, our first task was a long bush walk. We enjoyed the scenery and had fun chatting to friends along the way. It was then time to settle into our dormitories and get ready for our first activities.
Junior School Choral Kickstart Camp The 2009 Junior School Choral Kickstart Camp was held on the weekend of 13-14 February. Eighty-five students from the two choirs and an ensemble of accompanists, choral directors, staff and parent helpers invaded the Lower Theatre and music rooms for two days of learning new repertoire, dancing, fun, food, and a swim at the All Saints’ Aquatic Centre. The Choral Kickstart Camp was extra special this year due to the restructuring of our choirs, and a new choir was subsequently formed. The Junior School now has three choirs: the Junior Voices (Years 3 and 4), the Saints’ Voices (Years 5 and 6) and the Little Saints’ Choir (Year 2 only), who had their special workshop on Friday, 27 February.
Junior School Camps
The purpose of the camp was to develop a bond as a group, as well as experiencing the joy of singing as a choir and learning new and challenging music. We are delighted to report that across Years 2 to 6 in the Junior School, up to 40 per cent of the students are singing in a choir. We were impressed with the excellent start our choristers made and the beautiful sound they continue to produce.
The activities at Bickley were great! We were challenged by the map-reading skills needed for orienteering and used up lots of creative energy collecting items for our bush art collages. We learnt to work as a team during initiative games, we were thrilled by the flying fox, and learnt about X, I and T knots while building a raft. We perfected our canoe paddling skills and had fun looking for clues, while also avoiding being captured in search and rescue. We were, of course, hungry after our exciting activities and looked forward to the delicious meals served in the dining hall. The food was so good that most of us went back for seconds! After dinner each evening we had indoor activities. On the first night we had a quiz and some fiveminute challenges. On the second night we got into our pyjamas and sleeping bags, and watched a great movie while munching on popcorn! All too soon it was time to pack our bags and get back on the bus to go home. We had a wonderful time at camp and gained many new outdoor skills. We showed that we could be independent but also learnt how to work as a team. Many new friendships were developed and we can’t wait for the next camp!

Junior School Camps Year 6 Nanga Bush Camp, Dwellingup
Junior School Camps Years 6/7 Canberra Trip
The Nanga challenge began…
A visit to the nation’s capital and beyond
Earth, Fire, Water - three elements that have forever existed in harmony. But for four days from 6-9 April they were at war. Three tribes, but only one winner. Who would survive?
On 12 July, 28 excited Years 6 and 7 students and four members of staff, Mr Randall, Mrs Donnelly, Ms Parker and Mrs Hardinge departed Perth for Sydney and Canberra. We arrived in Sydney just after 6.00am to be met by our coach driver. We were tired after very little sleep on the overnight ‘red-eye’ flight, but soon felt revived after a tasty McDonald’s breakfast in Manly!
The tribes were transported by a twostorey metal beast, also known as a double-decker bus. Fifty-four Year 6 adventurers were divided into their elements: Earth as Dirty Rockers, Fire as Hot ‘n’ Spicy and Water as Water Bombers. On arrival at their base camp ‘Woodshed’, in the depths of the Dwellingup jarrah forest, they were briefed on their mission. Teamwork was the key to success. Over the next four days the elements would earn points by facing their greatest fears over ground, water and air. Camp Commandants Buemi and Parker were tough and harsh. There were many challenges ahead. By far the greatest challenge was after every meal, battling through a sea of dirty plates and dishes. The only weapons available were sponges and towels. Many are still suffering nightmares from scraping the last of the broccoli off the bottom of a bowl. The real challenges included the great tribute to the eagle where tribes would climb high and ride along a metal wire doing great acrobatic tricks. The next tribute was to the fish in the flat water
rafting challenge, throwing sponges at each other until we were black and blue. And then a tribute to the plants, using grass from the Earth’s own field we would weave small bush creatures. Tributes to the Kangaroo and Dolphin soon followed. Tribes would run great distances and swim through icy water in a relay. The tribute to the Possum involved walking on thin wire and climbing up vertical walls. Next there was a tribute to all creatures with a spiritual dance. Finally, tribes paid tribute to the owl by walking only by the light of the moon.
In Manly we enjoyed a brisk stroll in the cold early morning air along the esplanade, taking in the picturesque coastal scenery before travelling to Manly Wharf. We walked along the beachfront to Manly Aquarium where we saw a host of marine creatures found in and around Sydney waters. A ferry ride from Manly took us past the famous Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. After a walk around the Opera House, we boarded the coach for the three-and-a-half hour drive to Canberra. Many of us dozed off on the coach!
In the final hour the winning tribe was announced and it was Fire who outwitted, outplayed, outlasted and outdanced the rest. The war was over with a ride home on the great metal beast for a welldeserved rest until next year.
Our first few days in Canberra were exciting and we saw many interesting places, including the seat of government at Parliament House and Old Parliament House. We acted out the introduction of a bill in the Parliamentary Education Office, and then visited the hallowed Senate and The House of Representatives. The Electoral Reform Centre unlocked the mysteries of representative democracy as we held a ‘mock’ election and followed the voting process through to its conclusion.
Nathan Holbrook & Lewis Snowden Year 6
The National Museum provided us with a vivid insight into the way Australian society has developed over many decades. The War Memorial was a compelling record and reminder of Australia’s contribution to world peace, and the tomb of the unknown soldier reminded us of the ultimate sacrifice some of our fellow Australians have made. At the Australian Institute of Sport, we saw some of Australia’s elite sportsmen and women in action and tried out many interactive sport displays, testing our speed
Page 42 — Columba 2009
and accuracy. We even cruised around the streets of Canberra, discovering the many fascinating architectural designs. Night visits in the frosty air saw us rugging up in scarves and beanies to combat the fierce wind atop Telstra Tower. Despite the cold, the students enjoyed trying to run into the freezing wind. We visited the quirky but fascinating floodlit miniature village at Cockington Green. Here, we saw replicas of famous buildings from all over the world and rode on a miniature steam engine. Mrs Hardinge said this was one of her favourite places. Wednesday was the day most of us were waiting for, a trip to the snow! An early wake-up call followed by a quick stop at the ski shop in Berridale to collect our warm clothes, boots, and most importantly, toboggans, finally had us on our way to Perisher Blue. There were some funny sights on the slopes as students tried to stay on the toboggans, but they survived the day, cold but happy and no lost students! Many students enjoyed working together to make a huge snowman, with the odd snowball fight here and there! The hot chocolate with marshmallows was just what we needed after the icy snow. The end of week came around all too quickly and before we knew it we were eating our final breakfast at Gold Creek Resort and checking out of our rooms. We spent our last day in Canberra visiting the National Film and Sound Archive and then enjoyed the winter sunshine as we wandered around the Canberra Zoo and Aquarium. This was a relaxing end to our tour before heading to the airport for the long journey home. The students arrived home safely late on Friday night, 17 July, with many exciting stories to tell their parents. It was an enjoyable week shared with a great group of students and teachers.

Junior School Performing Arts
Music
Instrumental Work
Dance
The Orff approach to music education, which was adopted at All Saints’ College Junior School in 2004, continues to flourish and is resulting in a high standard of music participation in the classroom. It is also reflected in the growth and development of the choral and instrumental programs. This approach to music education is a holistic and all-inclusive approach, where students are actively involved in music-making, composing, creating and performing. To further enrich the music program, elements from the Kodaly approach were also implemented in 2009.
Students have the opportunity to learn guitar, percussion, piano, or any orchestral instrument of their choice.
The Dance program is designed to inspire creativity, develop physical skills and increase confidence and self-expression through movement exploration and choreography. The highlight of the Dance program for 2009 was closing the IPSHA Performing Arts Festival with the Junior School performance of Seuss du Soleil, a dance and drama collaboration of 90 students from Years 4 to 6. The Junior Dancers then reprised this performance for the Arts Alive III Concert at Octagon Theatre. The Boys’ Dance group finished the year with an exciting piece entitled Primal Instinct which was performed at the ACHPER Primary Dance Festival.
Choral Music Choral singing is an important component of the music program, and all students are given the opportunity to experience choral singing within the classroom. An internal choral festival is held annually, where every class performs a short program as a choir. Four extracurricular choirs provide extension for talented and interested students: The Little Saints’ Choir (for Year 2 students), Junior Voices (for Years 3 and 4 students), Saints’ Voices (for Years 5 and 6 students), and the Junior Chamber Choir (a select group of 12 girls from Saints’ Voices).
Junior School Arts Page 52 — Columba 2009
The Junior Voices, Saints’ Voices and Chamber Choir were all placed first in the Fremantle Eisteddfod in 2009.
All Year 3 students learn violin, viola, cello or recorder as part of the curriculum. The Suzuki string program for students from Kindergarten to Year 2, which was introduced in 2008, is flourishing. There are three string ensembles in the Junior School which provide additional developmental opportunities for students at their level of performance: Saints’ String Trio (the senior ensemble), Kids’ String Ensemble (a young group of string players who have been introduced to ensemble work), and the Suzuki Ensemble (a special group session for the Suzuki students who have reached the required level of performance).

The Year 5 Wind Band program, which was introduced in 2008, has made wonderful progress, and an extracurricular Wind Band provides extension for students who have achieved the required level of performance. An African Drumming group is also available for interested students.
Performance Opportunities There are 200 students learning an instrument in the Junior School and to provide everyone with at least one solo performance opportunity, four soirées were held during the year and the Arts Alive III Concert was held at the Octagon Theatre, UWA in September. Many students also entered the instrumental and vocal sections of the local Eisteddfods.

Junior School Concert Arts Alive III
Junior School Music Groups
The Junior School presented its third Music and Dance Concert, Arts Alive III, in the Octagon Theatre at University of Western Australia on Friday, 21 September 2009. Exceptional growth in the Junior School extracurricular Music and Dance programs in recent years highlighted the importance of providing a more formal platform for our outstanding musicians and extracurricular Dance group.
Junior Voices
The concert opened with the Saints’ Voices performing a work by Australian composer Lynn Williams, accompanied on harp, and followed by a string orchestra of 39 students from Years 1 to 6. The program also included an African Drumming group, the Junior Voices, Little Saints’ Choir, Junior Chamber Choir, Saints’ String Trio, Wind Band, and a vocal duet by Grace Whitney and Emma Haines. Solo items were presented by Joseph Chan (piano) Arielle Lu (piano), Emma Hearne-Mills (violin) and Viknesh Ponnuthurai (recorder). The Junior Dancers, along with the Drama students, presented a highly entertaining and colourful item inspired by Dr Seuss and Cirque du Soleil, Seuss du Soleil. The item Boomwhacker Stompers performed by the Year 6 cohort, was a percussion work developed by the students. The concert was a major success with outstanding performances by all ensembles and soloists. To complete a beautiful evening all 170 performers combined in a finale, presenting the song Walking in the Air by Howard Blake from The Snowman.

Cowan House
Cowan House Captains L to R: Rebecca Long, Jacalyn Donnelly, Jordan Cleghorn. Head of House: Mr Matt Lanigan.
2009 was an exciting and rewarding year for Cowan House students, who continued to set high standards and achieve amazing goals. We were incredibly proud of the camaraderie that existed within the House, and enjoyed the challenge of leading such an innovative and passionate group of students. Cowan was involved in many House activities throughout the year, starting with the Years 7/8 House Day. This event provided an opportunity for younger students to work closely with the Year 11 Peer Support Leaders and helped set a positive tone for the year. We were then involved in the Cowan House Afternoon, which was a huge success, bringing together families, friends and staff to share a meal and mingle. Our House spirit shone brightly throughout the year, and the endeavour and commitment for which Cowan is known, were clearly evident at the Swimming, Athletics and CrossCountry Carnivals.
Page 66 — Columba 2009
We performed strongly on these important days, finishing in the top three on each occasion. In addition to these Interhouse activities we were competitive in the cultural activities of the College, and would like to thank all students who were involved in these. It was a memorable year extending beyond anything we could have hoped for. We approached our role not only as House Captains guiding younger students, but saw it as an opportunity to reach out to the wider community. 2009 saw Cowan House coordinate the inaugural ASC Clothes Festival, which raised valuable funds for several local charities and provided hundreds of items of clothing to Anglicare. The spirit of giving was ever-present, with Cowan also leading the Hair Raiser Fundraising Appeal for victims of the Victorian bushfires earlier in the year; students wore crazy hair to school in support of others.
We would like to acknowledge the outstanding work done by our Tutors; special thanks go to Mrs Bate, Mrs Kroeger, Mrs Johns, Mr Beath and Mr Schaffer for providing members of the House with invaluable guidance and counsel throughout the year. In closing, we would like to thank Mr Lanigan for having faith in us, and for being such an amazing and inspirational leader! We wish him all the best in his role as Acting Dean of Students in 2010.

Durack House Captains L to R: Vikky Brown, Michael McPhail, Sarah Green. Head of House: Mr Greg Hill.
Our role as Durack House Captains for 2009 was a challenging, yet truly rewarding experience. This year we discovered a certain ‘uniqueness’ about Durack House. It was something intangible, yet it was felt quite strongly by all the students and tutors. 2009 was undoubtedly the hardest year of our school lives, but we can both confidently say it was a year for Durack to surprise the other Houses with its diversity and talent. We wre proud to be Captains of such an enthusiastic and fun group of people. The year started with a bang, with many House events getting under way. The Years 7/8 House Day was an opportunity for all new and old Durack 7s and 8s to meet each other and build new friendships with the help of our fantastic Year 11 Peer Support Leaders. Next was the Durack House afternoon tea, which provided an opportunity for House members and their families to bond and get to know the tutors and the Head of House, Mr Hill. This was a successful event enjoyed by all.
Page 70 — Columba 2009
Durack’s true spirit shone through at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival with a white-capped swimmer participating in every event. The eager attitude of Durack members carried through to the CrossCountry and Athletics Carnivals, where everyone ran, jumped and threw to the best of their abilities. This determination won Durack pleasing results, and made us proud to be the 2009 Durack House Captains. As any Durackian would know, participation is the key. It is not just winning that counts; it’s about joining in and having fun. This year, however, the hard work and participation paid off. In Terms 1 and 2, Durack won both Interhouse Sport and Debating, and came second in Chess. Everyone was happy with these results, especially Mr Hill who found it hard to stop smiling!
Thanks also to the House Council – your help and cooperation greatly appreciated. We wish you all the best in the future. It was great working with you and getting to know you. Good luck to Durack of the future and the Captains of 2010. We know we have left our role in good hands and we look forward to hearing about Durack’s success in the years to come.

Forrest House Captains L to R: Jemma Burns, Matthew Jerkovic, Britt Macdonald. Head of House: Mr Gerry Schirinzi.
With the end of 2009, another year has gone by in the life of Forrest House! For the Year 12s, this was a stressful and memorable time. Forrest got off to a flying start with a win in the Interhouse Swimming Carnival, thanks to our super fish and support from House tutors and cheerleaders. First term continued, as did our exposure to the busy schedule that came with learning the ropes as House Captains. Second term was easier and more relaxed, much to our delight. Forrest continued its Swimming Carnival success with a dominant presence at the CrossCountry, winning by more than 100 points. This was exciting and great to see all Forrest members contribute by making it across the finish line. Unfortunately our success in the previous carnivals was not repeated in the Athletics, as we finished fifth. Terrible weather on the day, the continuation of events into the next week and the cancellation of relays did not help our final score. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Interhouse activities and competitions throughout the year, from Debating and Chess through to Sport. You did an amazing job and should be thrilled with your successes. There was a definite
Page 74 — Columba 2009
improvement as the year progressed, which saw us finish strongly and outdo many other Houses. Overall, well done on a fantastic year – you should be proud to call yourselves Forrestinians. We both loved working with the Student Council this year and our Head of House, Mr Schirinzi. Jemma, the Forrest ViceCaptain, always offered her assistance and we were so grateful to rely on her help at times. The House Council members, Mackenzie, Kelly and Jordan, took it upon themselves to find out the responsibilities of their new roles and we were exceptionally satisfied with their smiles and help this year. Thanks and good luck with your studies next year. Our best wishes are with all Forrest members next year. We hope the new Captains and House Council continue to build upon the work that we and our predecessors have put into this great House.

Murdoch House Captains L to R: Elise Le Page, Sandon Block, Evan Gow. Head of House: Ms Sarah Richens.
Murdoch, with its fiery red colour, exemplifies passion throughout all sporting and cultural events at the College. Murdoch has always been more than just a House; it has become an avenue for opportunities as well as providing invaluable support. The courage and endless energy of the House shone through in its students, and this year we admiringly witnessed them participate in events such as the Swimming Carnival through to Debating. The start of the year involved the Years 7/8 House Day. New and old Murdochians showed energy and House spirit as they participated in a variety of activities throughout the day, starting the House year on a wonderful note. The enthusiasm shown by the Years 7 and 8 students continued into the first major sporting event of the year, the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. This was a successful day for Murdoch who finished in second place, reflecting the commitment and enthusiasm of Murdoch students. The pleasing Swimming Carnival result ignited the Murdoch passion and House members continued to shine in After-School Sport, Debating, Chess and the Interhouse Cross-Country.
Page 78 — Columba 2009
Term 3 saw yet another successful result for Murdoch with a win at the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. This result reflected the true passion of Murdoch and the willingness of all students to participate in events. Cultural events and Interhouse Quizzes continued into Term 3, proving both rewarding and fun. A huge thank you to the Murdoch Councillors who assisted us throughout the year and especially to the Head of House, Ms Richens, whose friendship and guidance contributed to Murdoch’s success and passion. This House would not have been as wonderful without her. Finally, a big thanks to all Murdoch students who are the heart of the House. It is their participation that makes Murdoch such a wonderful and high achieving group. We wish Murdoch and the new Acting Head of House, Mrs Felsinger, all the success for next year and beyond.

O’Connor House
O’Connor House Captains L to R: Georgia Turco, Richard Handoko, Sarah Hartree. Head of House: Mr Steve Young.
This is the story of O’Connorella and her five ugly step-sisters: Murdina, Cowana, Durackel, Forrestina and Stirly. Once upon a time, in the year 2009, O’Connorella was preparing herself for yet another year of inter-sister competition. The ‘Swimming Carnival’ was fast approaching and O’Connorella was not convinced that she was ready. She was not always as successful as her elder sisters, as they liked to remind her frequently. Her Fairy Godteam, Mr Young, Georgia, Sarah, Ricky, Amy, Lucy and Kate, watched her attempt to succeed, yet evil forces were at work which meant she could not fill every race. Unfortunately, O’Connorella came last, as her ugly stepsisters had predicted. This was a tough blow to O’Connorella’s ego. Throughout the year, O’Connorella tried her hand at Debating, Chess, Quiz and various sports. And although she shone in some areas, she was still trailing behind her ugly step-sisters. One day, her ugly step-sisters challenged her to the annual race around the palace. They called this the ‘Cross-Country’. In her head, she knew she could run very fast but some parts of her just didn’t seem to want to run!
Page 82 — Columba 2009
To add to O’Connorella’s troubles her bright yellow shoe fell off, and she came last. Her Fairy Godteam was at a loss as to what they could do. The Fairy Godteam decided to sit O’Connorella down and give her a bit of encouragement and affirmation. They told her she had been doing her best, but she could do some things differently, like trying to ignore her ugly step-sisters’ taunts. O’Connorella took this advice to the annual ‘Athletics Carnival’. O’Connorella managed to stay in second position above Cowana, Durackel, Forrestina and Stirly, yet still behind the very athletic Murdina. And then it started to rain. The rain washed all of O’Connorella’s new-found confidence and success away. In some strange twist of events, O’Connorella fell back to last place with only one yellow shoe!
As the O’Connor House Captains for 2009, we are so proud of every individual who contributed to the House in some way or another. As House Captains, we hope we have encouraged them to do their best this year and hopefully in the future, O’Connor will reap the rewards. We would like to thank the House Councillors, Kate, Lucy and Amy, and the Vice-Captain, Ricky, for all of their help. Above all, thank you to the Head of House, Mr Young, for his constant support and guidance throughout the year.

Stirling House
Stirling House Captains L to R: Lily Loughman, Elizabeth Hill, Stephanie Walker. Head of House: Mr Adam Kealley.
Stirling Spirit: The atmosphere of fun, participation, good sportsmanship and cooperation that comes from being a proud member of Stirling House. 2009 began with the new House Council structure, and as we House Captains discovered, the support we received from the Vice-Captain Liz Hill and Councillors Laura Halden, Kelly Harrison and Matthew Tamsitt-Pedrochi, was fantastic. Before the 2009 school year even started, the Years 7/8 House Day was held and the new Years 7 and 8 Stirling-ites got to know each other. The year officially began and soon after, the Interhouse Swimming Carnival took place. Stirling put in a solid performance with many records broken and students willingly filling events. Despite our efforts, we finished in fifth position and the House Council decided that a renewal of ‘Stirling Spirit’ was in order. With this in mind, we launched a campaign encouraging greater support for Stirling House activities. This new attitude gradually took hold and we improved dramatically at the Cross-Country Carnival in Term 2. We finished in second place – an achievement not seen in a while! The Athletics Carnival soon followed in Term 3 and again, many fantastic people
Page 86 — Columba 2009
stepped up to fill in for events. Despite the terrible weather, records were broken, almost every event was filled, and blue shirts kept crossing the finish line in first position. When the carnival was rained out and some events were postponed until the following week, Stirling was sitting in second place overall! The next few lunch times were a roller coaster ride, as remaining events were completed and Stirling’s ranking changed daily. In the end, the efforts of all Stirling-ites were rewarded with second place, trailing the leading House by only 25 points! This awesome achievement shows just what can be achieved when people work together. Many other House events and competitions including the Stirling House Afternoon Tea, Interhouse Rowing Regatta, After-School Sport, Interhouse Debating, Chess, and the ever-popular Quiz saw more and more Stirling students putting in huge efforts, showcasing their talents, building friendships, having fun and enjoying being part of something bigger. 2009 was a pivotal year for Stirling and to continue this spirit, a new mascot for Stirling House, ‘Captain Stirling’, will be officially unveiled at next year’s House Afternoon Tea. We look forward to everyone’s reactions!
A huge thank you to everyone in Stirling House and especially to the fantastic Vice-Captain Liz and Head of House, Mr Kealley. We are excited to leave Stirling in such capable hands. Stirling members for the past six years, we are both so grateful for the experiences, memories and friendships we made. We hope everyone continues to make us proud by embodying the famous spirit that makes Stirling the great House it is.

Transition Reflections 2009 This year brought us many different and exciting opportunities to widen our horizons and help with our academic and social growth through: excursions and incursions, curriculum area special activities, academic competitions and after-school subject help, Sport, Music and Dance, Environment Group, Chess and Debating, Interhouse and Extracurricular activities, Camp Week and Team-Building Camp, Transition Drama Production, Dance and Music Concerts. Mrs Elizabeth Harrison Head of Transition Program

Year 8, my first year at All Saints’ College, was outstanding. The number of opportunities available was enormous – I would like to thank everyone who spent time making it the year that it was. Jeremy Brown, 8W Year 8: A big step in my life. Year 8 was an adventure, accomplishing things I have not accomplished before. James Hismeh, 8Z I must admit, this year was such a great year and a lot of new things happened. I learnt so much and became friends with people I never thought I would be friends with. Shelley Farmer, 8X
I think the transition into Year 7 was really welcoming. It also helped me to mature a lot because there was more responsibility. Reyne Lawson, 7Y Year 7 was all about feeling part of the high school. Thea Wong, 7W Year 7 transition has prepared us for high school in a very fun and educational way. Josephine Langford, 7X Year 7 was a completely new experience. There were so many opportunities in every aspect of learning. Olivia Russell, 7X
Looking back at my involvement with the Peer Support Program, I am shocked to realise that almost a year has passed since we all first met, and yet so much has changed. As a Peer Support Leader for Forrest House, I watched the Year 8s meet their Peer Support Leaders, and in many cases, their peers for the first time. As the weeks progressed, the ‘walls’ between the Year 8 students began to fall, and we watched as they developed new friendships with their leaders and peers.
not stopped on my way to class by one of my group members, even if it was just to say ‘hi’. I put my name forward to help other College students in the Peer Support Program, but I never expected the jokes that were shared, the knowledge gained, and best of all, the friendships I made.

also of great interest for the students, some of whom did not study History at school. Miriam Beard once said: “Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living”. This was a trip that permanently changed the ideas of those who embarked on it. I would wholeheartedly recommend this valuable experience.
Christopher Kleemann Year 12
Japan Trip On Friday, 3 April, 20 students, Ms Kent, Mr Kealley and Mr Heron arrived at Perth Airport bound for three weeks in Japan. For most of us, it was our first time travelling to this unique destination.
Inaugural Europe History Tour After a largely sleepless night and more than 19 hours of flight time, the inaugural History tour group landed on Russian soil. In our jet-lagged state we were met with the night sky and a temperature of about three degrees centigrade.
Senior School Camps & Trips Page 96 — Columba 2009
The trip was an opportunity to travel around the historic and significant sites of Europe during the April school holidays. Not surprisingly, 18 students from Years 11 and 12 grasped onto this amazing opportunity. We went to such places as Red Square in Moscow, the Winter Palace St. Petersburg, Rynek Krakowski in Krakow, the Reichstag in Berlin, and the famous fallen city of Troy. We also visited poignant and moving sites such as the haunting death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the stirring ANZAC Cove on ANZAC Day. All of these amazing places were only enhanced by the guides. Mr Brown’s crash courses in History at the respective places were

the daily lives of our Japanese hosts. We attended our sister school, Josai High School, from Monday to Saturday (yes, they go to school six days a week!) and various traditional classes such as Aikido (martial arts), Shodo (calligraphy) and Kato (flower arranging). Some days we headed off on school excursions such as a day at Tokyo Disneysea, a bus tour, and a 1.125km long, 80.5m high roller coaster at Tokyo Dome. The cherry on the cake was being able to enjoy this wonderful adventure during cherry blossom season while the trees were in bloom. To Ms Kent’s delight, our Japanese language improved greatly. We learnt new words, made friends and more importantly, we experienced the unique splendour of Japanese culture and life. .
Michelle Mursin & Richard Handoko Year 11
We spent four days in Kyoto and went to the amazing Kiyomizu and Kinkakuji Temples. We also visited Hiroshima where we experienced a delicacy we will never forget, Okonomiyaki, and visited an island filled with paper-eating deer called Miyajima. The next leg of our trip was to Tokyo via the shinkansen (bullet train). Three days were spent travelling around Tokyo including a night of karaoke fun, visiting more traditional temples, shopping at Harajuku and Ginza, and a day at the exciting Tokyo Disneyland. It was then time for each of us to say farewell and separate. We each stayed with a host family for 10 days where we experienced Japanese life, culture, and to some people’s delight, a controversial, new millennium gadget – the heated toilet! Though the first few days were full of nerves and shyness, we soon embraced

China Cultural Tour
Mount Hotham Ski Trip & Political and Legal Studies Trip
China Cultural Tour
Mount Hotham Ski Trip
In April, Mr Brockbank along with Mrs Dale and Ms Aguiar, accompanied 22 Years 10 and 12 students on a Cultural Tour to China. After a speedy check-in and flight, we soon landed in Hong Kong, the first stop on our journey. We experienced firsthand the hustle and bustle of the densely packed business hub that is Hong Kong.
During the second week of the mid-year break on 10 July, 28 enthusiastic students from Years 8-11, accompanied by Mr Zaurs, Mrs Green and Mr Heron, gathered at Perth Domestic Airport for the highly anticipated Ski Trip. After saying goodbye to our parents, we prepared ourselves for the five-hour flight to Melbourne. From Melbourne Airport we jumped on a bus and headed for Mount Hotham, via a quick detour to McDonald’s for breakfast!
We visited several local markets which gave us a small taste of what to expect on the second leg of our trip. We also explored the more ‘Western’ elements of the city, such as a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park Amusement Park. The local Buddhist temples and monasteries we visited demonstrated how age-old religious beliefs maintain a stronghold in China today. Beijing brought us the delights of the local opera (of which the English translations were a point of comic relief). It also provided an insight into how much the Chinese are still in touch with their cultural heritage and how well it has been preserved over centuries of war and triumph. Our journey was only beginning as we set forth to visit the Temple of Heaven, The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Tiananmen Square, the largest city square in the world, was both fascinating and insightful. As we passed the many Chinese people waiting to see Chairman Mao’s tomb, Mr Brockbank enlightened us with the Western version of Tiananmen Square’s history, in stark contrast to the Eastern ‘abridged’ edition. Following this we had the privilege of visiting the Olympic sites, namely the Water Cube and Bird’s Nest, both of which were mesmerising. A trip to China would be incomplete without visiting The Great Wall of China, undoubtedly one of the highlights of the entire trip. The Wall brought the trip full circle and provided that quintessential piece of context which tied all aspects of
Page 98 — Columba 2009
Finally we arrived at Mt Hotham after 10 long hours of travel, to be greeted by falling snow. We were taken to our accommodation, Snowbird Inn, where we collected our gear and listened to a quick pep talk by our experienced teachers. We were eager to hit the snow and spent the afternoon on the slopes, learning the basics of skiing and the reality of cold weather!
the trip together: the grandeur, opulence, history and the sheer toil and effort that went into its construction. To imagine that the five or so kilometres we witnessed adds up to such a minute percentage of its total size, evoked a great sense of respect and admiration for China as a whole, its people, its culture and history. Our understanding of the Chinese culture grew to greater lengths upon visiting the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. This leg of the trip typified the extent to which the culture has remained through triumph and turmoil. Thousands of warriors, all made from Terracotta, were buried to protect a single emperor from evil spirits in the afterlife. We also visited Beijing Huijia Private School, a sister school to All Saints’ College, and the Yew Chung International School. Beijing Huijia Private School was remarkable to say the least, constructed in 1993 with amenities second to none. It comprised a High School and attached
University, boasting thousands of students and a four-storey food hall. Yew Chung’s facilities were equally impressive, boasting students from more than a dozen countries. The China Cultural Tour is a truly valuable experience for all who seek to explore cultures, learn new things, ponder centuries of colossal history, or simply observe the Chinese elderly partaking in morning exercises and rituals at the park. This rewarding trip allowed us to see the nation for what it truly is, in all its splendour and glory.
Fabien Chetty Year 12
For the next five days we followed a timetable which consisted of being woken by Mr Zaurs, reluctantly getting out of our warm beds, heading downstairs for a hot breakfast, sluggishly putting on our ski gear, grabbing our skis and boards, then heading outside. We were allowed an hour’s free skiing before our daily lesson. Everyone would stagger back to the Inn feeling exhausted, but satisfied at the end of a good day’s skiing. On one of our nights in Hotham we were treated to the luxury of night skiing. Some tried out their skills on the floodlit slopes, while others experienced the joys of falling over in the dark! Our final day in Hotham was a sad, but enjoyable one. With a new run opened that morning covered in fresh, deep powder, we all tried to make the most of our last day in the snow, stopping for quick photo opportunities and snowballs along the way. Eventually it was time to say goodbye to Hotham and the snow, but it was definitely not the end of our trip. We arrived in central Melbourne and unwound using the luxuries of the hotel to our full advantage. The next day we headed to the Victoria Markets where some of us found excellent
bargains, while others found a nice warm breakfast!. After dropping off our shopping purchases at the hotel, we went to Etihad Stadium (previously Telstra) to watch the Sydney versus Carlton AFL match. After the game we headed back to the hotel one last time to pick up our luggage and say our final goodbyes to Melbourne and the fantastic 2009 Ski Trip.
Evan Gow Year 11
Political and Legal Studies Trip The Political and Legal Studies Trip to Canberra was certainly a highlight of the year for everyone involved. We learnt a range of new information and our minds were broadened to many new ideas. The real nature of the trip belies its name. The trip is not only a P&L Studies Trip, but rather a cross-curricular educational experience. Not only did we visit important legal and political places such as the High Court of Australia, Old Parliament House and Parliament House, as well as a stopover at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, but we also visited a range of other museums and educational institutions. We explored the National Archives Gallery, which houses the original Act signed by Queen Victoria proclaiming the Commonwealth of Australia. The National Film and Sound Archive was a great way to experience a cross-section of Australia’s defining moments and complemented almost everything we learnt on the trip. For the history buffs
Mr Brown shared his knowledge of Australia’s war experiences at the Australian War Museum. So great was our interest in the War Museum that we returned to learn more about the events that changed the course of Australia’s history. At the insistence of Mr Brown and Mrs Coate, we ventured into the National Portrait Gallery and National Gallery of Australia. Despite our original scepticism, our minds were broadened by the experience. Artworks such as Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles and Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly collection encouraged us to view art in a different way; as an important contribution to and reflection of society. By the end of our stay in Canberra, we felt an unanticipated affinity for our small, yet important national capital. Our night-time study sessions were starting to wear us down, that was, until we were revitalised by the bustling financial capital of Sydney. Important icons such as the Sydney Opera House were explored inside out, and we gasped at the sheer enormity that is Sydney Harbour Bridge. With the combined knowledge of Mr Brown and Mrs Coate, we learnt a great deal about our country. Our understanding of Australia and the world was broadened, and for this, we thank them. This is a trip not to be missed by anyone in next year’s P&L Studies class who wants to bring the ideas learnt at the College, to life in the ‘real’ world.

Swanleigh Music Camp & Year 12 Retreat
maturity as we filled a room with pillows and proceeded to jump on them! After the final rehearsals on Sunday morning, we packed up and took the short trip back to Perth. All of the ensembles made great improvements during Music Camp and it was great to see many new musicians get right behind the College Music program. Thank you to all of the Music tutors, support staff, Mr Beaverstock, and Nicole for making this happen.
Swanleigh Music Camp Each year, members of the many College bands and ensembles head off for the annual Music Camp, accompanied by several music-loving staff. This year was no exception. Leaving after school on Friday, 6 March, two bus loads of students from Years 7-12 departed for Swanleigh. We arrived quickly and set to work unpacking many music stands and instruments. After the first rehearsal we assembled for the Quiz Night, a popular event on the Music Camp schedule. This year the dress-up part of the Quiz Night was reintroduced and the hall filled with movie, cartoon and fairytale characters. Much effort went into some fantastic costumes, and top prizes went to Mr Men, Bellatrix Lestrange and Indiana Jones, with a special mention to an Austin Powers go-go girl. The Quiz was a success, with several teams playing hard for the top spot. The next full day of rehearsals filled the Swanleigh campus with music. College Orchestra, Senior Strings, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, Jazz Saints, Intermediate Band, Guitar Ensemble and Rock Saints brought a variety of sounds to the air. When we were not rehearsing, we had an opportunity to meet some of the Swanleigh students and enjoy time with our friends. On Saturday night, everyone relaxed in front of a movie, while the Year 12s enjoyed ‘Year 12 Night’ for their final Music Camp. This involved absolute

Year 12 Retreat For most All Saints’ College students, camp is something we become accustomed to as an annual event like our Swimming Carnival or Athletics days. We sometimes lack the vision to realise the full experience and value of these camps, and so approach them with a little less enthusiasm than we perhaps should. The Year 12 Retreat provides a new experience, which completely changes this perspective. Before we embarked on the Retreat we were told it would be different from any previous camp experience, and that to explain this journey, would be like explaining to a child the joys of being a parent. It is incomprehensible until you have experienced it for yourself. As adolescents we naturally found this hard to believe, but we were soon proven wrong as we walked away with a greater compassion for our peers, a mutual respect for our teachers, and a stronger foundation for the individual paths that lay before us. Retreat provided us with the opportunity to enjoy one of the final relaxing periods of time with our peers before academic stress reached its full magnitude in our TEE year. Over three days we learnt more about ourselves and our peers than most do in a whole year, and consequently formed a stronger, more cohesive year group. The getaway provided a breath of fresh air,
Pemberton Art Camp & Rottnest Scuba Camp
releasing the pressure of the surmounting sea of work we would be faced with throughout our final year at school. On behalf of the year group, we acknowledge the efforts of the teachers and extracurricular staff who made this Retreat possible. We sincerely appreciate the experience you shared with us.

Pemberton Art Camp At 7.30am on Friday, 1 May the wearyeyed Year 11 TEE Art students gathered at All Saints’ College to depart for Pemberton. After a four-hour drive we arrived at Pemberton Camp School where we had a quick afternoon tea and settled into our cabins. A short drive out to the beautiful Bedelup Falls soon followed for our afternoon painting session. We first took in the peaceful surroundings before choosing a painting site and setting down to get started. Everyone painted quietly as the sun began to slip lower and lower, and artworks began to take shape. At 5.00pm we left Bedelup Falls to head back to the Pemberton Camp School for dinner. We then enjoyed one hour of quiet time to work on our paintings before settling down in our pyjamas, sleeping bags and pillows to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, followed by bed. On Saturday we woke early for a toasty breakfast before driving to Northcliffe for a drawing workshop with Tony Windberg. Tony chatted to us before showing us one of his favourite drawing sites overlooking a dam. He then demonstrated some good techniques for drawing water. We settled into our chosen spots and got to work. After lunch we met Peter Hill who guided us through the Northcliffe Sculpture Walk. We saw some weird and wonderful sculptures and spent an hour drawing them and coming up with our own ideas. We thanked Peter and headed back to Pemberton Camp School after a long day.
Dinner was served and then it was time for some fun with wearable art! We were put into groups of four and given some newspaper, sticky tape and a time limit. When the time came to ‘strut our stuff’ on the cat walk, there were triangle inspired dresses, origami inspired dresses, a fan inspired dress and maternity wear - a wonderful end to a worthwhile camp!
Amy Kirke Year 11
Rottnest Scuba Camp
Some of us had trouble equalising, but with the help of our amazing instructors we soon overcame this problem. We learnt about the local marine, the coral and the fish. The girls’ dorm even adopted a quokka during their stay, which they affectionately named ‘Gary’.
On Sunday, 5 April, after two days of scuba training in the All Saints’ College Aquatic Centre, a group of Year 11 students departed for Rottnest. At 7.00am in the morning with our ugg boots, beanies Overall it was a great trip with many and large jackets, we boarded the ferry for surprises, including seeing a large the journey to the island. stingray, a small shark, and learning about other marine life. To top it all off, Upon arrival we hopped on our bikes we received our open water PADI dive and rode to Kingston Barracks, our certificates, allowing us to dive all over the accommodation for the next three days. We unpacked and the group split into two. world. It was an incredible camp and an unforgettable experience exploring another One group would be working with Neil, world below the surface of the water. the PADI theory instructor, and the other group would dive, with a swap after lunch. This was the itinerary for the trip, with a study period and free time at the end of the day.

Margaret River Surf Camp & White Water Kayaking Camp
Adventure Out Camp & Southern Forests Cycling Camp
Adventure Out Camp Saturday, 7.00am. The scene was set for a tiring but fulfilling trip down to Margaret River’s Big Valley. Following the fourhour drive south came short introductions from Mitch, Alastair (a former All Saints’ student) and Davo, as well as tent pitching.
Margaret River Surf Camp In the early morning of 14 April, there was a sense of excitement in the air as a group of Year 11 students boarded the bus and headed to Margaret River for the 2009 All Saints’ College Surf Camp. We arrived at our accommodation, the Surfpoint Backpackers’ Hostel, where we gobbled down some tucker before jumping into our wetsuits. Our instructors Josh, Shorty and Bec, quickly ran us through the basic techniques before urging us into the surf. By that afternoon, almost everyone had managed to stand up on their boards, and some even surfed all the way in to shore. The following days contained many laughs, wipe-outs and the consumption of large quantities of mi goreng, the staple diet after a day in the surf. For most of our time spent in the surf, we stayed at the local Boodgy Beach which was not too daunting for us ‘beginners’. On the second last day we ventured out to Honeycombs, where we bumped into ‘Bruce’ the shark. Unfortunately ‘Bruce’ cut our surfing time short, so we all hopped back onto the bus and spent the rest of the afternoon browsing the main streets of Margaret River. On the final day, a competition was held at Boodgy Beach, giving us the chance to show off our new surfing skills and compete against our peers for the best male and female surfer prize. It was a tough competition, but in the end, very rewarding.
Page 102 — Columba 2009
A big thank you to Mr Pougnault and Ms Richens for looking after us on the camp, and for buying us McDonald’s on the journey home! The camp was a great experience and it gave everyone the bug to keep surfing long after the trip ended.
Marina Cartwright Year 11
White Water Kayaking Camp For some students who attended the White Water Kayaking Camp, being submerged in freezing, thrashing water and tumbling over rocks while struggling to free our limbs were daily occurrences. Surprisingly, these experiences were amazing and provided a great sense of accomplishment. The beautiful weather and high water levels helped to make Kayaking Camp one of the best in All Saints’ history. After travelling 203km south of Perth we reached our destination, Wellington Dam in Collie. Pitching our tents was a challenging task, after which we gathered around the instructors to hear our first mission, fitting the necessary kayaking equipment. We tested our vessels on water and learnt some basic kayaking skills. It was decided we were ready to hit the intense rapids. Our first attempt at ‘The Three Drops’ left most of us cold, shivering and in some cases, purple.
The number of capsizes and loss of equipment left many of us hesitant to pursue the drops the next day. Evenings were spent lazing around on a hammock and enjoying each other’s company around the campfire. Our friendships were tested and strengthened during group meal preparation, but the delicious results left us completely satisfied and ready for another day on the water. On our final day of kayaking, each of us conquered ‘The Three Drops’ in one way or another and the barbecue to follow was a tasty reward. That afternoon was spent soaking up the sun and frolicking in our natural playground. We sadly said goodbye to Wellington Dam, but came away with good memories, stronger friendships and newly acquired skills. The lack of showers, technology and a comfy bed did not affect any of the amazing camp experiences. The White Water Kayaking Camp was certainly a fun and character-building experience which would not have been possible without our Adventure Out instructors: Bel and Dan, teachers: Mr Tsocas, Ms Ford and Mr Zaurs, and 14 remarkable students.
Casey Lewis & Sarah Maisey Year 11
After lunch we were briefed on mapping, compass work and pacing, to provide us with the essentials for our upcoming navigation activity. A short 3km course was a good warm-up in preparation for our main 10-14km walk the next day. The long course led us through Boranup Forest to a small campsite where we set up two tarps for a night of ‘exposure to the elements’. After sleeping under the stars and a tarp, we headed out for a day of caving. We visited Lake Cave, and as its name suggests, inside the cave we saw a lake and many amazing formations. At Calgardup Cave, we crawled through ‘The Birth Canal’ and experienced true darkness. A day later we were hanging off the side of a cliff with the sound of huge waves crashing against rocks a few hundred metres away. The Wilyabrup sea cliffs offered rock climbing and three different abseils: a 15m, 30m, and 45m Stainless Steel. Our final day of activities brought the challenge of abseiling into caves. Fiftymetre drops at Giants and Brides Caves were amazing. Dangling in mid-air to take in the massive cavern that was Brides Cave and squeezing through the dark and narrow solution pipe of Giants Cave, were experiences we will never forget. One more short drive and we arrived back at All Saints’, weary but contented. A big thank you to Mrs van Dongen, Mrs Ellement and Mr Groves for all of their help and support on camp.

Southern Forests Cycling Camp Sunday, 5 April saw a group of sixteen, Year 11 students meet at the College to travel to Donelly River for the Southern Forests Cycling Camp. After arriving at Donelly River we met Andy, our local guide. A loop ride around the campsite led us along an old railway track, including a bridge that took some ingenuity to cross with our bikes. Following the ride it was time to get set up for tea and put our amazing cooking skills to use! On Monday morning we rode the King Billy Mountain Bike Track near Manjimup. After a barbecue lunch we rode along the Donelly River, including a hill that was quite a challenge for some of the riders. Tuesday saw us ride from Donelly River Village to Willow Springs, which did not seem as close as first promised. We enjoyed some free time in the afternoon to use the Village facilities, including the popular flying fox. This followed with a game of Spotlight in the evening. The first activity on Wednesday was visiting Bicentennial Tree. Not all students followed Mr Beaverstock’s example of climbing to the top, but those who did had a great view as well as overcoming any fear of heights. Then it was onto our bikes for the first part of the Heartbreak Trail. This took us to lunch and did not seem too bad, apart from a couple of steep descents.
After canoeing the Blackwood River, we set out on the return bike ride. This was when we discovered the reason for the trail’s name. Perhaps our efforts were put into perspective when we met up with a German tourist at a lookout, who was just about to head to Adelaide to complete his ride around the continent. We packed our bags on Thursday morning, and then it was back to Perth and normality. Most of us certainly felt fitter and healthier than we did before leaving for camp. Thank you to Mr John Beaverstock, Mr Andy Russell and Miss Jessica Smith for all of their efforts to make the 2009 Cycling Camp so enjoyable.

Year 11 and Year 12 Biology Camps
Year 7 Fairbridge Camp & Year 10 Helping Hands
That evening we rotated to different activities which focussed on teamwork and making other people feel good. The next day we continued the first day’s list of activities. We were all excited about the evening activities because we were going bowling followed by dinner at Hog’s Breath Café. Our meals were scrumptious and we returned to Fairbridge for a good night’s sleep.
Year 11 Biology Camp
Year 7 Fairbridge Camp
On Monday, 7 September a group of young biologists accompanied by Mr Williams and Mrs Taylor departed All Saints’ College, headed for Point Peron campsite. The next two days saw us explore, observe and record organisms in their surroundings ranging from dune and reef, to lake environments. Various flora and fauna species were captured and observed to broaden our understanding of the environment in which they live. Some of us were fortunate to go for a swim in the icy water while studying the reef. Others ventured out along the littoral zone to go crab hunting.
The Year 7 Fairbridge Farm Camp was fantastic! We enjoyed the wide variety of day and night-time activities, and also the variety of food.
Nights were spent researching and recording our findings. Our hard work and dedication to tasks were often rewarded with the odd jelly snake or biscuit! Without the help and guidance of Mr Williams and Mrs Taylor, the camp would not have been such a great success. The 2009 Year 11 Biology class urge any younger students who are passionate about the environment and living organisms, to become involved with this interesting subject.

Year 12 Biology Camp On the rather chilly morning of 25 June, Year 12 Biology students travelled to Dryandra for their field study camp. After a lengthy bus ride, the first part of our study involved an expedition to a piggery where we learnt about different farm processes. This consisted of travelling around the paddocks viewing the weaners, growers and baby pigs, as well as entering a pen with hundreds of piglets. Some of us attempted to catch a piglet, which proved more difficult than we ever imagined. Following our visit to the piggery and a brief stopover at our accommodation, we began the field study. Various soil samples were taken from an undisturbed woodland area and a farm paddock, to measure and assess differences between the two environments. Although we felt slightly weary after the long bus ride, our tiredness was forgotten in the evening when we had the opportunity to set traps in Dryandra Woodland with a Department of
Environment and Conservation Officer. This was followed by a memorable tour of the Barna Mia Sanctuary where we observed bilbies, woylies and other native marsupials in their natural habitat. After a well-deserved sleep, we awoke at the crack of dawn to unleash our traps. We were excited to discover woylies and possums in our traps – some of them happy about their little adventure, and others (especially the possums), were eager to return to their homes. After a break for lunch we set out on a forest walk where we observed the natural vegetation and enjoyed Mr Williams’ knowledge about the local flora. A big thank you to Mrs Taylor and Mr Williams for organising the camp – it was a wonderful experience which provided us with vital and interesting knowledge about the Dryandra region.

Each of the five groups completed two of the following activities on the first day at Fairbridge: Abseiling/Rock Climbing, Raft Building, Team Games, High Ropes Course and Superman Swing. We loved the activities on the first day. After dinner we participated in our first evening event, a game called Find Rambo. We didn’t know who Rambo was (which teacher) but we soon found out! That night we also held a Newspaper Fashion Show, which provided plenty of fun. We went to bed, wondering what the next day would bring. The following day we split into our three class groups and enjoyed Archery, The Amazing Race and Orienteering. We also went for a swim in the icy pool after running the orienteering course – a big mistake as we almost froze to death!
The final morning at Fairbridge was lots of fun. We played Capture the Flag and went on an Easter Egg Hunt while we waited for the bus to arrive. We thank all of the teachers who accompanied us on the Fantastic Fairbridge Funfest!

After a follow-up visit to the graveyard on Tuesday, we spent the rest of the week in the library researching the history of our chosen person or family. We had the full collection at our fingertips including preserved wills, ship records, births deaths marriage records and archival websites. Our findings were then uploaded onto The National Trust website. Helping Hands was an enjoyable week filled with benefits for all, from working with friends for a useful community cause, to discovering interesting information about the history of WA. A huge thanks to all the teachers who coordinated and supervised our activities – this wonderful week would not have been possible without their help.

Year 10 Helping Hands For Year 10s, Camp Week was spent helping the community in various ways through the All Saints’ College Helping Hands Project. We were split into groups and spent four days from Monday to Thursday involved in different activities such as helping the elderly, environmental rehabilitation work, cooking and sewing, archiving, or undertaking research for The National Trust of Western Australia. The National Trust project was named ‘Adopt a Grave’. We went to the historic East Perth Cemeteries to choose and research a person or family associated with the development of Western Australia, as well as general maintenance of the graveyard. After a tour of the graveyard where we were shown the different types of graves and how they related to a person’s religion or position in society, we chose a grave to adopt and headed to the Battye Library and State Records Office (inside the State Library of WA). We learnt how to use the library resources and media, including archived materials preserved on microfilms and microfiche.

Year 9 Collie Camp & Year 9 Dwellingup Camp
Year 8 Orientation Camp & Year 8 Harvey/Busselton Camp
Year 8 Harvey/Busselton Camp
Year 9 Collie Camp The Year 9 Collie Camp was awesome and we were always kept entertained. Bush Bashers, Mud Monsters, Canoeing Conquerors, Tent Titans, Master Chiefs and Rafting Rangers were just some of the names we called ourselves, as we tackled our camp activities in teams. Whether we were rafting down treacherous rapids or hiking through dense bushland, we always had fun. The best and funniest activity was rafting at Collie River. The rapids looked frightening, but once we had experienced them, our adrenalin was pumping and we were proud of ourselves. Another highlight was the massive play fight in the mud pile. At the end of camp we were all exhausted, but we came away with some amazing memories. So, a tip for the 2010 Year 9 group: if you go to camp with the most positive attitude, you will have the time of your life!
Phoebe Chapman Year 9 Camp is supposed to be about moving outside our comfort zones and experiencing something out of the ordinary. For me, the Year 9 Collie Camp was exactly that. I would usually write about sleeping in tents, splashing around in canoes, having fun during team games, racing through the creek, and trekking 11 kilometres
Page 106 — Columba 2009
during the hike. But instead, I want to write about the things that made the 2009 Collie Camp memorable and unique: • Within seconds of someone calling out “Water Fight”, we were drenched • We could clean out a tub of Nutella in minutes • We sang ‘The Song That Never Ends’ for an hour, non-stop, then decided to have a big finish, before starting again a minute later • Our lungs hurt from laughing so much. Mr Lanigan banned all topics of laughter otherwise we would be faced with the camp punishment, push-ups! • I am not sure about everyone else, but the absolute best thing about camp was the mud fights. Running down to a pile of brown mush on those two afternoons was exhilarating. Penguin sliding got our fronts dirty, making mud angels got our backs dirty, and every other clean part of our skin was covered by smearing mud on each other. To Team Pocahontas and all the other groups – thanks, it was the best!

Year 9 Dwellingup Camp On 5 April, four Year 9 Dwellingup Camp groups departed for Nanga. The trip proved to be lots of fun and was filled with adventure, getting lost and sleeping in tents. We participated in many different
activities and by the end of the five days we were all exhausted. The first activity planned for my group was the bike ride, which covered a distance of more than 10 kilometres. We cycled from Nanga Bush Camp to Marrinup, passing through the Dwellingup town centre. The second day was spent cycling through the forests and back to the centre of Dwellingup. Bush art and cooking with Mrs Foster were the next activities, and probably the most relaxing of the entire camp. Day three saw us undertake a 15 kilometre hike which we were all dreading. Despite one wrong turn, we managed to arrive at our final destination. The next day involved canoeing, and there were more than a few capsizes along the way. We paddled along the Murray River until Mr Hill picked us up and took us back to our dorms at Nanga Bush Camp. After lunch we had low ropes, which saw our group work as a team. Sadly, our final day at camp came around quickly and we were off to do some abseiling. Abseiling was fun, but also a bit frightening because it involved down off a 10-metre tower. In the evenings we played many different campfire games, like ‘Going to the Moon’ and the ‘ASC Secret Society’. Overall, Dwellingup Camp was a wild ride, full of laughter and bucket loads of fun.

The beach included some challenge for those students who had a fear relaxation time with our friends, while some of heights. Video night and self-defence braved the freezing water for a swim. The night were also highlights of the camp. Bush Tucker Tour was exciting and we paddled down the river to explore a cave. Soon it was over.

One of the favourite activities was ‘Bog Trotters’, which involved good team work and communication. Other activities included raft building and canoeing, where we worked in pairs to paddle around a small island. After our ‘well cooked’ dinner, we enjoyed a walk around the camp site. We spent time at the Web Green Chapel, which was in the woods! That night we also did some star gazing and a few of us managed to spot satellites. The next day’s activities included the ‘aerial runway’ (a 200m flying fox), archery and tunnelling. Before we left we shared pictures and evaluated our camp experiences. It seemed like no time before we were back at home with our families. The Year 8 Orientation Camp was an experience that will not be forgotten.

Muhammad Ali once said, “Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them – a desire, a dream, a vision”. There is no doubt the All Saints’ College swimming community used that desire, dream and vision to inspire the outstanding successes of 2009.

After eight weeks of training, the All Saints’ College ACC Athletics Squad made the journey to the new State Athletics Stadium on Wednesday, 23 September to compete
in the 2009 ACC ‘C’ Division Athletics Carnival. There was a feeling of excitement around the group, not only because we were competing at the new stadium, but also because training numbers had been as high as many people could remember, peaking at more than 80 for an afternoon session. All Saints’ had a great carnival, finishing the day in 2nd place overall, only 60 points behind the eventual winners. The College also won the Senior Boys’ trophy and the newly formed Under 13s Girls’ Trophy.

Osez Rêver: Dare to Dream was All Saints’ 12th annual Dance Concert, held for the second time in the professional environment of John Curtin Theatre in Fremantle from 12-14 August. The Dance Concert’s theme was the inspiration of the Year 12 Dance class, whose vision was to take the audience on an explorative journey of fantasy versus reality. Dreams can be involuntarily created in our mind, sharing the truth about our emotions, ideas and sensations.
The College Dance program continually develops, and this year was no exception with student participation, choreography and behind-the-scenes helpers. The Concert also built on the College’s growing foundation of Contemporary Dance, which comple-mented other genres such as Jazz and Hip-Hop. The dancers and audience members enjoyed a night of dreams and nightmares, choreographed by the Senior Dance students and teachers including aspirations, living the dream, and some of our most frightening nightmares.
The 2009 Concert was a wonderful way to say goodbye to Ms Richens and thank her for coordinating her final All Saints’ Dance Concert before she started maternity leave. It was also an exciting opportunity to welcome a new chapter for Dance at the College.

Little Shop of Horrors, a 1982 musical based on Roger Corman’s 1960 B-grade movie, took on a new form in the creative hands of the 2009 All Saints’ College Drama students. This year’s production at John Curtin Theatre in Fremantle, ran as a three-night program and attracted an excited and expectant audience. The cast, made up of Drama students from Years 9 to 12, were involved in many acting and singing rehearsals in the lead-up to the performance. With the use of bright, absurd-style costumes and bold, dynamic set pieces, the stage was a frenzy of colour reflecting the energy and enthusiasm of the actors. In the style of an absurd comedy, gestures and characterisation were exaggerated and prompted a great response from the audience. With the help and guidance of All Saints’ College Head of Performing Arts, Mr Stephen Roberts, the actors brought individuality to their characters, creating a unique and professional performance. Protagonist Seymour Krelborn was played by Year 10 student Nathan Langworthy as a naive nerd who had the audience laughing at his every word. Year 11 student Natasha Kayser showcased a welldeveloped, theatre-style singing voice in her performance of Audrey.
Page 132 — Columba 2009
Andrew Dawsons character, Mr Mushnik, was eccentric and energetic in keeping with the upbeat tempo of the musical. These lead roles were brilliantly supported by the remainder of the principal cast, including the unique acting style of Fabien Chetty who portrayed the painloving dentist Orin Scrivello. The five girls, played by Amelia Taylor, Rachel Richardson, Rochelle Murdoch, Lana Glasson and Nicole Koch, were the omnipresent, singing narrators of the show. The main character and facilitator of the play was The Plant, Audrey Two. The voice of the plant was performed by Nicholas Shaw in collaboration with Bryn Jones. Bryn was puppeteer for the five, different sized plants which represented the growth of Audrey Two throughout the play. These props gave the show energy and believability, and helped bring Little Shop of Horrors to life. In the week leading up to the opening performance, the cast and crew worked night after night. They tweaked technical and choreographic elements of the production to create a well-polished show that was performed to sell-out audiences from the All Saints’ College community.
The show was a great success with several audience members providing feedback that Little Shop of Horrors was the highest quality and most professional school production they had ever seen.
Nicole Koch Year 12
In 2009 the Years 7 and 8 students collaborated with Year 10s to present a creative, original version of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play revolves around the adventures of four young lovers, a group of amateur actors and their interactions with the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest. The story takes place in Midsummer and is a complex farce featuring Hermia and Lysander, and Helena and Demetrius. Their romantic intrigues are confused and complicated further by entering the forest where Oberon, the King of the Fairies, and his Queen, Titania, preside. Puck (or Robin Goodfellow) is a major character who is full of mischief and tricks. Other visitors to the enchanted forest include Bottom, the weaver and his friends Snug, Snout, Quince and Flute, the amateur dramatists who want to rehearse their terrible but hilarious version of the play Pyramus and Thisbe.
Early collaboration saw one group toying with the idea of setting their scene as a postmodern vision of Western society, corrupted by outdated philosophy following the destruction of all human life. The idea was quickly muted! The performance was a true collaboration between the students and promotes further opportunities in the Performing Arts for students to work together irrespective of year group status. It also gave current Year 10 students the opportunity to flex their directing and design concepts, and allowed Years 7 and 8 students to benefit from their creativity.
Mr Stephen Roberts Head of Performing Arts
In true All Saints’ style, we put our own spin on this Elizabethan classic by editing the play into a 40-minute condensed alternative. Furthermore, each scene was uniquely spun by Year 10 directors who recontextualised and re-imagined the text.

Senior School Music
2009 saw continued growth in the scope of Music in the Senior School. The College Music Camp was held in March at Swanleigh in Middle Swan. it provided a great opportunity for developing friendships as well as getting our instrumental ensembles off to a great start for the year. A little earlier – in February – the College was visited by Brother Roger from the Taizé community in France. Taizé has developed a distinctive style of music, and our Chamber Voices group enjoyed their introduction to this meditative music. A new direction this year was the establishment of separate rehearsals for boys and girls of All Saints’ Singers. This bore particular fruit in the case of the boys, where the group stabilised at 12 singers, a greatly improved level of participation in comparison to earlier times. This year’s Music Tutors’ Concert was held early in Term 2 and was wonderful testimony to the quality of our tutors. I particularly enjoyed accompanying Mrs Anne Henderson, Principal Bassoon of the WA Symphony Orchestra, in an all-toorarely heard bassoon piece by Edward Elgar. This event was supported by the Friends of Music, and I would like to thank Convenor Mrs Rowena English and all the other parents on the team who did so much for our students throughout the year.
All Saints’ Singers, Chamber Voices & College Voices
In Term 2 we also had our first Recital Evening and Morning Tea with the Bands, while the Ensembles Evening showed a fine level of achievement. Among other performances, our Wind Ensemble performed at the Band Directors’ Festival and other College groups performed at the After-Noon Concert series at St George’s Cathedral. The College Eucharist in Term 3 was enriched by the singing of Taizé chants by the College community, led by All Saints’ Singers. The College Music Concert was again held at John Curtin Theatre. The 2009 Concert not only showcased the high standards of our performing groups, but with the assistance of Head of Performing Arts, Mr Stephen Roberts, and Coordinator of Strings, Mrs Thea Kotzé, the event was beautifully executed with slick changes between items. On the final Sunday of Term 3 our singers combined to give a memorable concert, culminating in a performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria. Accompanied by an orchestra composed of College students and Music Tutors, this was the largest choral performance ever undertaken at the College. The musicians rose to the occasion and gave a wonderful performance. Congratulations to Voice Tutor Mrs Julie Durant, and students Nicole Koch and Rachel Richardson, who performed the solo movement. There will be big changes in 2010 as I step down from being Director of Music. Mrs Anette Kerkovius will bring to this role her energy and enthusiasm, and I look forward to being part of her team. My thanks to all the tutors and ensemble directors for their wonderful work during the year. I particularly wish to pay tribute to the unfailing support I received from Mrs Thea Kotzé, our Coordinator of Strings.
Page 134 — Columba 2009
Mrs Susan Palmer has continued to be a tower of strength in the Music Department, giving much more than the administrative support that is her official role. Finally, thank you to Mrs Toni Dale, Dean of Studies, for her support of the Department’s work, and Dr Geoffrey Shaw for the focus he keeps on the important role of Music throughout All Saints’ College.

The Service portfolio was a success this year with the introduction of many new fundraising initiatives to help those in need. The year got off to a great start with more than $6000 raised for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. A Crazy Hair Day, Pancake Day, donation jars and the Pasar Malam all helped raise much-needed money for the Appeal. Service events continued in Term 2 with the P&F Quiz Night, Busy Bee and many other activities. Term 3 was successful with yet another Busy Bee, the Cowan Clothes Festival and Parkerville Fun Run in support of Parkerville Children’s Home.

Lit Fest ’09: Storylines
Lit Fest ’09: Storylines The week of Lit Fest ‘09 started for our students with a special visit from Andy Griffiths. Andy brought his own brand of silliness and fun to the festival and spent his free time talking to students and signing copies of his books. Pirates, wombats, werewolves, puppets, emus, pets and lighthouses featured in stories at this year’s festival. There were also stories of sadness, war, stolen generations and incredible courage, together with outback yarns and traditional medieval tales. More than 400 students attended the Human Rights and Freedoms panel. Based on the Declaration of Human Rights, panellists included a survivor of the Belsen Children’s Camp, a member of the Stolen Generation and a Prisoner of Conscience from Sudan, all of whom told their stories of despair and hope. This year also featured an array of illustrators. Cartoonist Gary Chaloner

shared his skills, Brian Simmonds worked his magic with charcoal, and Leigh Hobbs taught everyone how to draw his signature character ‘Old Tom’. Junior School Art classes were inspired by his characters and students enjoyed making Old Tom puppets, pots and ‘freaky’ Toby jugs and tiles. Jackie French described this year’s Lit Fest as “a festival in the very best sense, teaching kids that books are something to be loved and celebrated”. “I don’t think I have ever seen so many kids stimulated and just so plain joyous. Every time I passed a group they were grinning, discussing books, sessions, authors, totally caught up in the magic,” Jackie said. Congratulations to all winners and runnersup of the Festival Writing Competition and thank you to Girl Guides WA for sponsoring the prizes.

Year 12 Reflections
My time at All Saints’ was highly enjoyable. I cannot wait to get out into the ‘real’ world and use everything I have learnt. Jade Ramanah Good luck to everyone, I wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do. Thank you for making my schooling such an enjoyable and memorable time. Peter Kroeger All Saints’ is a wonderful school and I will never forget the time spent here. Best of luck to everyone in the future. Elise Le Page The friends, the teachers and the school grounds – the people and buildings which constitute the College itself – will be missed. Anthony Lee I will miss all my friends and teachers, and the security and certainty I experienced throughout my time at All Saints’. Georgia Turco
