All Saints’ College 30th Edition
In this special 30th Anniversary edition of Columba 2010, it is timely to acknowledge all of our past and present students, staff and community members, who have shaped All Saints’ College into the vibrant, friendly and stimulating learning environment it is today. I hope the pages to follow reflect another colourful and busy academic year, and highlight just how far the College has progressed in the past 30 years. Thank you to everyone who generously gave of their time to provide written and pictorial contributions for this year-book. In particular, I am grateful for the assistance and support of the 2010 Publications Captain, Aidan Smith, who displayed maturity and dedication in his leadership role. Together with the hard-working members of the student Publications Committee, their creative ideas and input were greatly appreciated.

My whole experience as Publications Captain started last year during the Student Council Camp. This was great fun; a chance to make friendships, relax and learn valuable skills for the year ahead. My first taste of the role could not have been more positive. I was packed full of ideas and initiatives to put into place for 2010. Then February came and the reality of Year 12 hit me! Oh!
2010 – a year full of surprises It was a wonderful surprise to realise that no matter what the circumstances, everyone was always willing to lend a hand. It was a surprise that the hardest year of schooling appeared to be the fastest, and also the slowest of any other school year. And finally, it was a surprise that even in my final year of school, I did not master the art of posing for ‘school photos’ as evidenced by my picture on this page. Year 12 was a complete change in the way school works. It was a year we wanted to end, but on the other hand, we also wanted it to last forever. There was no longer any form of divide between students and teachers; we knew them only as our friends. We even had the option of making ourselves a toasted sandwich for lunch in the Year 12 Common Room! It was a year of certainty and security.

Every day we woke up, had breakfast and went to school from 8.30am to 3.20pm. It is a routine we carried out for 13 years, and yet just around the corner is 2011 – our first year after All Saints’ College. We start again. In the past, our final year and the end of our schooling seemed daunting as we looked towards it, sometimes doubting we would ever get there. Now, as we look forward, all we see is a haze, for some slightly more transparent than for others. Our uncertainty of the future is unnerving, to say the least. Every day we will do something different. No uniform. No set time for lunch or recess. The security we cherished for so long will fall away as we become independent and use the skills and knowledge we were taught to prepare us. We will all have vastly different pathways; university, TAFE, work, travel. So, after 13 years in an educational institute, it has all come to this – our final Columba. Throughout the year,
the Publications Committee and the Community Relations Department worked tirelessly in an attempt to capture all the emotions and experiences of an entire school year. The following pages attempt to encapsulate all that is felt in the big College events, and in those more intimate experiences, which will be remembered for years to come. I sure hope we don’t disappoint! No amount of thanks is enough for the commitment and perseverance Ms Orchard and her team showed this year, and all of the struggles they overcame. It is hard to describe what I did this year. The most I can do is wish all of the students well for next year; be positive and you can conquer all you set your mind to. Good luck!
Aidan Smith Publications Captain
2010 was a year of considerable activity and progress for All Saints’.
2010 also saw great progress with our building program.
We continued our work on coeducation. Mrs Edel Hailes and Mrs Jill Dinsdale attended a Gurian Institute summer school in Arizona to develop their understanding beyond that obtained during the Institute trainers’ visit to us last year. I hope we will soon be able to develop in-house, research instruments which can indicate the effectiveness of the work we do.
In August we started using our new Indoor Sports Centre. One of the major elements of our new strategic plan is to enhance the connection between our Junior and Senior Schools. It was wonderful to involve both sections in a number of assemblies in the Centre. We all enjoyed the outstanding acoustics and the fine staging capacities. Students from every year level also had many opportunities to use the friendly synthetic surface for games and general physical education. It was especially pleasing to see the Year 12s take up an offer of lunchtime Year 12 games in the Centre, so as to gain some benefit from this new facility in their final couple of months with us.
We were subsequently granted Gurian Institute Model School status, one of only four schools with this designation, and the only one outside the USA. Two journals, one international, took up articles about All Saints’ co-education, and I was invited to deliver a keynote speech on co-education at a conference in Sydney. Co-education remains absolutely central to our identity and our work. Also of vital importance is our concentration on the very worrying areas of bullying in general, and cyber-bullying in particular. Over the course of the year we arranged informative talks for students, parents and staff, and we joined an important research program based at Edith Cowan University.
We have, for some time now, been looking for a significant overseas service project. Following a visit to a small Maasai village school in Amboseli in Kenya, we started work to assist the extraordinary young leader of the school, Teacher Benjamin, and the school’s governing committee, to improve their resourcing and to provide Benjamin with more strategies for leading this exciting school with all the promise it offers its young Maasai children. Coming at the end of the year, this wonderful project formed a fitting conclusion to an enriching year.
Dr Geoffrey Shaw Principal
Celebrating 30 years
This year we took a strong stance on cyber-bullying, adopting the view that, while some student actions might occur outside our precinct, their consequences might impact on students when they are at the College, making our involvement appropriate. We are a long way from being able to claim that there is no bullying at All Saints’, but, consistent with our mission, we continue to direct resources to this troubling area.
Work on the expanded Senior School Library continued, and I am confident we will be able to resume use of it at the start of the new academic year. It will greatly improve both the facilities and the ambience, making library work more intrinsically attractive. A major project was the development of the design for the new Theatre. We are well advanced in this process and should be well placed for a start to building by the middle of 2011.

At the end of a year which contained the usual challenges and achievements in all our busy areas, we began a most exciting new service program.

The success of All Saints’ throughout the past 30 years is built on many things. Thousands of students have each contributed a little bit of themselves to give us character and traditions. Their parents have made significant sacrifices to let us aim high. Our teachers and support staff have delivered quality education and pastoral care that have won international recognition. The Anglican Church has nurtured us and bound us into the wider community of Western Australia. Drawing all this together have been the vision and personality of our headmasters, and I particularly acknowledge the commitment and example of Dr Geoffrey Shaw as he leads All Saints’ into its fourth decade. I became Chair of the Board earlier this year following the retirement of Mrs Judith Cottier in April. Judith came out of retirement to chair the Board in 2008 and has been a wonderful leader in focusing our

efforts on the needs of students. She has left All Saints’ in excellent condition, with sound finances, clear direction, and an enthusiastic Board keen to consolidate the achievements of the past 30 years. I regret to record that Dr Alistair Cowden’s term on the Board also came to an end last year, but am pleased to welcome Mrs Thirl Millachip who has joined us as a nominee of the Parents and Friends’ Society. The Hon. Christian Porter has made a very useful contribution to the Board this year with his advice on legal and governance matters, but unfortunately growing pressure of work has meant that he was unable to continue on the Board once his term had expired. I thank all Board members for their hard work, considerable wisdom and much-valued support during the year.
We have hosted yet another Literature Festival, and for the first time have been able to host the Synod of the Anglican Church. We have seen heroic sporting achievements and marvelled at our students’ acting, dancing, and musical abilities. We have recognised academic ability and community service, and hosted students from other schools and other countries. We reflect on a great year, and look forward to even better years to come.
Mr Peter Gow Chair, Board of Management
The older I get, the more reflective I become, as one year ends and another begins. We will miss our wonderful Year 12 students who have now become Old Saints. We wish them well as they begin to take their place in the world as adults. As Saint Mary MacKillop said, “Remember we are but travellers here,” (1866). There will always be beginnings and endings in life - it is what we do as we travel together that will make a difference in our College and our world. The ripples of our presence, our decisions and our involvement, will reverberate for many years to come. Saint Mary’s motto in life was, “Never see a need without doing something about it.” This year All Saints’ College and its community of students, parents, staff and Old Saints took this motto to heart. We raised a large amount of money for foster children as part of Anglicare’s Suitcase of Hope project, and we supported a myriad of other projects as can be seen on page 155 of this Columba.
More so, we have made a commitment to support Teacher Benjamin and his Maasai Village school for the foreseeable future; a wonderful work that will make a difference to the lives of children who are hungry for knowledge, and a community that knows if it is to survive into the 21st Century it must educate its children. The ideas and excitement that came from Teacher Benjamin’s visit are wonderful. The good will and offers of support in a myriad of ways are heart-warming, both to him and those of us who are actively involved with this project. I hope that in the years to come, as we take up many of the creative ideas presented we will know that in some small way, we responded to Teacher Benjamin and our sister school in Kenya, to make a difference that will be lasting and life changing. Mother Theresa said as she reflected on her life and ministry, “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” As we remember the birth of the Christ Child and look to the joys of the season of giving, let us give thanks for the privilege of journeying together in 2010. Let us also give thanks for the knowledge that we have been given the opportunity to make a big difference in the lives of those who seek our support, to access those things we might often take for granted.
Celebrating 30 years
2010 has been a significant year for All Saints’ College. We celebrate 30 years since our founding and this edition of Columba records just how far All Saints’ has developed in that time. It is easy to see the physical changes that new buildings, larger trees and mature gardens have brought to the campus, but what we really feel is our tremendous growth as a school. All Saints’ has now established itself as the leading co-educational school in Western Australia, offering its students academic excellence and cultural enrichment with strong values in a natural, caring environment.

A record amount of sponsorship in 2010 was made available to students who gained either national or state selection to participate in various sporting, cultural and academic events. The P&F is very pleased to be able to provide this assistance to successful students. The Pasar Malam, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and the Quiz Night, were P&F organised events held in the first half of the year. The 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner celebration was held on 28 August at the Forrest Centre in Perth. The Page 6 — Columba 2010
night was an outstanding success with 300 people in attendance including former principals, former students, board members, staff and parents. Fabulous friendship, food, entertainment and wine saw the night disappear all too quickly. The venue looked amazing, decorated in a ‘Pearls and Diamonds’ theme with a vibrant blue background. The positive response to the evening was a lovely reward for all the hard work put in by the organising committee. The Parkerville Children and Youth Care Kids’ Fun Run was again held on the South Perth foreshore. This was the second year we supported Parkerville, which is now one of the College’s main community service fundraisers. The P&F also funded some new equipment for students to enjoy; the Spida playground and football goals in the Junior School, as well as
the climbing wall in the new Indoor Sports Centre. The P&F is wholly funded by the annual family subscription and has a charter to facilitate and promote community spirit within the College. The P&F Committee meets twice a term from 7pm on a Monday, as advertised on the College portal. Occasionally a guest speaker is invited to talk about a particular aspect of College life. One of our recent guests was Ian Warner who spoke about College finances and how fees were set. P&F meetings are open to all members of the College community and speakers will be advertised in the Courier newsletter and on the portal. Please come along!

The Parents and Friends’ Society was again very active in 2010, promoting and harnessing community spirit within the College family. Parent Social Coordinators in each year group supported this by organising and promoting social events. Streamlining the contact lists made this job much easier.

Michael McPhail It seems that Year 12 began just last month. By that measure, to some, Year 8 began at the beginning of the year. Now, it is all over. The Class of 2010 will no longer experience the sense of anticipation that lends itself to the start of a fresh school year. Next year, together, we will enter a new decade - a new decade tingling with the tantalising taste of opportunity and freedom. Even though we are leaving this decade, we are leaving with our memories, our friends and ourselves having grown in an indescribable and incredible way. The last decade has prepared us for our future lives, whatever they hold for us. However, you cannot shape the future without looking at the past. With a newly reformed Student Council structure, the potential within the Council has grown exponentially. This year, more than $3000 was raised for Anglicare’s Suitcase of Hope Appeal. It was events such as the Balloon Launch and the House Hair Day that provided the bulk of these funds by uniting the All Saints’ College community behind one Page 8 — Columba 2010
Peng Tiong cause. We hope these events will become an All Saints’ tradition. A particularly special Student Council project this year was the start of making connections between the Junior and Senior School students, with the aim of uniting as a whole K-13 College. The bonding between the Student Council and the Junior School students was a joy to watch, and will continue to develop well into the future. It goes without saying that the efforts of Dr Shaw, Fr Braden, Mrs Dale and the entire staff deserve our thanks and praise for their support and encouragement throughout our time at the College. The efforts of Mr Brown to keep the Year 12s in check must be noted, and we are proud to have hardly ever been locked out of the Common Room! The tireless work of Mr Lanigan should not go unrecognised. Despite his role being large enough for two people, he has always managed to have time for the College Captains, the Student Council and the Year 12 cohort. We cannot thank him enough.
Next year, we will be gone and younger students will move up another year in what, for some, seems like an endless scholastic journey. Only it is not endless! By Year 12, your years will feel like months and your weeks like days, just as they have for us. We also know you will not understand this until you are standing on our side of the fence. But please believe us when we advise you to grab every passing opportunity with both hands and do not let go.

Being an Academic Captain is unreal. It can be complex; sometimes extending infinitely and seemingly impossible. At such times, it becomes difficult to divide one into the differentiated responsibilities with such a large volume of work, but you will find that by simplifying and selectively cancelling down, you will always end up with at least one solution. At other times, the many faces you add may dilate your work and translate your self-confidence negatively. You may need to expand your horizon and divide the problem into sectors. This said, while you work things out and show your work, you will find that it can be quite elegant at many points. If you remain rational, enjoy the integration, and smile at every tangent, it will sum up to be a positive experience.
2010 proved to be yet another exciting and successful year in the College’s Performing Arts community. Each year the College hosts many recitals in Dance, Drama and Music. Along with the recitals, the College also hosted its three major performances this year, the first being the College Drama Production. In 2010, the Senior Drama students tackled a darker type of theatre as compared to the upbeat musical performances of recent years.
Take worthy note too, that there is a limit as you approach your domain of work, and this limit may either approach absolute zero, or perhaps infinity in itself. But this all depends on where your domain of work is approaching in the first place. So make sure you always draw on your personal Argand diagram of complex but real components, and remember that there is always an ‘i’ in an impossible situation. As you progress, you will find your matrices multiplying, your imaginary components equating, and your vectors intersecting – as desired! Every rate and every variable is related to each other and you may find yourself undergoing simple harmonic motion back and forth and yet succeeding simultaneously in your effort. Use your integral and fundamental teammates to help you solve any problem or simplify your sometimes-tired expression; and most importantly, enjoy the years to come.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was of course, given its own All Saints’ College spin. Everyone involved is to be congratulated on the success of the production and on their marvellous work. In the early weeks of Term 3, College dancers took to the stage for this year’s Dance Concert, Dancing in the 4th Dimension. Once again, All Saints’ dancers dazzled audiences with fantastic performances in a range of dance genres including contemporary, classical ballet, hip-hop and Bollywood. The 2010 Dance Concert also featured the special addition of Junior School dancers with performances from boys and girls in Years 3-6. The College Music Concert rounded off the year and did not disappoint. It was a wonderful evening that showed off the exceptional talents of our many All Saints’ orchestras, bands, ensembles and choirs. It has been both an honour and privilege working with the many personalities in the Performing Arts Department and the many talented students of the College.

Functions Words cannot describe what being Functions Captain meant to me this year at All Saints’ College, and being asked to write only a brief contribution for the Columba seems an almost impossible task. My role actually began at the end of last year, with the organisation of the leavers’ jackets. Designs were drawn up, a ballot conducted and votes counted. As the results came in I felt great joy at being able to finally announce to the Year 12 group that ‘Thunderbirds are go’. The jackets were ordered and after two terms
Page 10 — Columba 2010
At the start of this year, I teamed up with other members of the Student Council on Valentine’s Day, to raise money for the Anglicare Suitcase of Hope Appeal. With stalls such as ‘Name the Teddy’ (the winning name being ‘Old Greg’), and Guess How Many Heart Shaped Lollipops Were in the Jar, the stalls were a great success. It was wonderful to see both students and teachers give something back to the wider community. In my role, I was also privileged to organise the Year 12 Ball. It was a night I will personally remember forever, and I hope everyone else does too. The lead up to the Ball was stressful and time consuming, but seeing my peers have a fantastic time on the night gave me a sense of pride and overwhelming joy. It was a great night had by teachers and students alike, and although the students may not remember the Functions Captain who organised their ball, I hope they remember the event itself. I remember leaving the Ball thinking, ‘What will I do now?’ because the only event left to organise was the Year 11 Dinner Dance. The Dinner Dance was held later in the year, and Jennifer Long and I attended as ‘official photographers’. I was worried about whether the Year 11s would have the same amount of fun as I did the previous year. However, when the music began to blast (painfully distressing the accompanying staff members’ ears), the 11s began to party and my worries soon faded. The role gave
me a great sense of pride and joy at being able to give something back to the students of All Saints’ College, and also to the wider community. It is a time in my life I will remember forever.
In 2010 we raised money to support several different charities. The role of Service Captain gave me a different perspective on just how fortunate our lives are here in Perth. Being involved with fundraising and organising events made me realise what we can do to make such a huge change to other people’s lives.
Jemma Burns Functions Captain
Sports 2010 was a highly enjoyable year for both of us and it was a great honour to represent the College as Sports Captains. It was wonderful to see All Saints’ do well in a variety of sporting pursuits throughout the year. Many talented students broke records and all of our Interschool sporting representatives worked as a team to walk away from the ACC Carnivals with outstanding success. We both had a great year working closely with other members of the Student Council to organise events and see ideas come to fruition. It was an honour to contribute our ideas to the College and see them evolve as the year progressed. We were lucky to be under the guidance of two awesome Sports Coordinators, Mr Beath and Miss Haendel. Without their help and friendship we would not have grown and achieved as much as we did. We admire them for their hard work and passion, both qualities which contribute to the sporting excellence at All Saints’. Overall, 2010 was a highly successful year. As a College, we achieved goals which seemed daunting and somewhat unattainable at the start of the year. We are certain the future will be bright for Sport at the College, given the fantastic year we had this year.

To the Student Council, Leaving Class of 2010 and all of the College staff, thank you for your help and support throughout my past five years at All Saints’. I will miss the College because it has played such a huge part in my life, but I will always cherish the memories. I wish everyone well for the years to come.
Louise Biggs Community Service Captain
Tim Noonan Environment Community Service As I remember back to first starting at the College in Year 8, it is amazing how much things have changed. One thing that has not changed, is the generosity of the staff and students at All Saints’, and their willingness to help out in every way possible. It is because of these fantastic people that the Service Department is able to coordinate successful events such as the Red Shield Door Knock Appeal, 40 Hour Famine, Operation Christmas Child, and many other events along the way. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as Community Service Captain and as a member of the 2010 Student Council. This role gave me the opportunity to fulfil my love of helping people and organise events that provided aid to those less fortunate than us. My involvement was made easier thanks to the help of Father Braden, Mr Lanigan and all members of the Student Council. We had a very successful year thanks to the support of these people.
In 2010, the All Saints’ College Environment Group had a boost like no other in recent times. Our numbers increased from the record low last year of one or two members each week, to about 10 people, all from various groups and walks of life.
The most special thing about the Environment Group, however, is the quality of people who involve themselves with it and who form a great team. We are not all typical ‘greenies’ and having a variety of people makes the group such a great one, while having more helping hands means we can have a much greater impact. I would like to extend a big thank you to Mr Williams, without whom the group would not be possible. Thanks also to our members, who really do make the group what it is. 2010 was a fantastic year and I am sure only better days await. Best of luck to next year’s Environment Captain for your portfolio responsibilities. Being Environment Captain is not always the easiest job, or the most fun, but it is a truly worthwhile experience which carries many interesting opportunities in the comfort of a wonderful group of people.
Tim Noonan Environment Captain
This year, a strong participation and commitment to our Busy Bees meant that we were able to build an extended retaining wall out of wooden logs along one end of the Creek. We also worked on a new area near the College’s Indoor Sports Centre. The Environment Group has made an amazing impact on rehabilitation to the Bull Creek area, and it is hoped they will continue to have a positive effect on other parts of the College campus.

and many questions as to when they would arrive, the Year 12 group was pleasantly surprised to receive them before their examinations, as opposed to the start of Term 3. This gave us a well-needed boost and confidence leading into the exams. I still feel a great sense of pride when I stand at the back of a room and see those wings on the back of our leavers’ jackets. It feels great to know that as Functions Captain, I had the opportunity to give something back to the Year 12 group, something they may keep forever.

Junior School Student Leaders
The Leadership structure in the Junior School was refined and is developing in strength and effectiveness. The Junior School enjoyed two presentations from artist Simon Gilby, where he spoke about his work and the All Saints’ College Sculpture Project. Simon worked with the Junior School as each student etched a steel plate with a design that they believed represented them.
Sara Mano, as Early Childhood Coordinator, led her team in a review of the recent document The Early Years Learning Framework, and in an exploration and reflection of the staff philosophy about Early Childhood Education. This further developed our talented team of Early Childhood professionals with a strong sense of purpose. This team passionately understand the value of the education they provide for their students. This strong sense of purpose will enable further development of our high quality program.
The athletic achievements of our students, the talent shown at the Strings Festival, and the significant improvements of individual students who persisted in challenging circumstances, were all highlights this year. I sincerely thank Junior School teaching staff who had the greatest impact on the social and academic development of our students.

Phil Randall and Sara Mano, along with all Junior School staff, made Environmental Sustainability an overarching theme of the curriculum this year. Teachers looked at ways to incorporate thoughtful environmental practices and learning into their teaching. The appointment of Environmental Student Captains further enabled this to happen. The student initiatives this inspired were valuable - worm farms, waste-free lunches, vegetable gardens and recycling became part of the work we do and these initiatives will gain momentum over time.

All Saints’ College Junior School students and staff had a productive and eventful year in 2010.
The Junior School Concert was a highlight for staff and students. The Concert celebrated the Arts and creativity. The specialist Arts staff brought their expertise and passion to each performance and students were able to express their individuality and creativity. Each year level worked with teachers to present a performance that expressed a unique interpretation of their chosen Australian artwork. The performances were vibrant, entertaining, and the level of interpretation quite complex and sophisticated.

Janet Wiren worked with staff to further develop the Student Leadership structure. Year 5 students participated in a leadership course in preparation for Student Leadership positions in Year 6.

Community Service & Environment Captains
Viknesh Ponnuthurai Our role as Student Councillors was an exciting and truly rewarding experience. We were proud to have the opportunity to represent the Junior School this year and to see the School community grow. Becoming a Councillor was not easy. It involved preparing a speech to explain to the other students why we thought we would make a good leader and why we wanted to become one. I remember when we went up to speak we were very nervous, but realised it was just part of becoming a leader and learning. At the end of 2009, when we found out we had become leaders, all the hard work had finally paid off and we were so proud of ourselves. Who would have thought we would be able to meet the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, The Honourable Stephen Conroy, as well as All Saints’ College Board Chair, Mr Peter Gow, and other important people?

As Student Leaders, we learnt to be confident about taking responsibility in the Junior School. At first, it was quite scary, but as time went by we stopped being afraid and started accepting the challenges of being a leader and doing the best for our fellow students. Anyone who takes on the responsibility of being a Student Leader will find it very rewarding and will be able to look back over their experiences and be glad they did it.

Community Service
My name is Charlie Sigston and I was an Environment Captain in 2010 with my team-mates Nina Barrow, Kalahni Moir-Hatton and Riley Hansen. At the start of the year we conducted a Waste Survey which revealed how much we were wasting and helped us clean up the School. At the end of Term 2, we planted four orange trees around the School and in Term 3, we adopted a bilby from Perth Zoo. Throughout the year we spoke at assemblies to announce upcoming events and we also organised four Waste-Less Lunches. When we held a Waste-Less Lunch, everyone was asked to bring as little waste to school as possible. Every fortnight we took the recycling bins out and put them on the kerb.
The leadership position of 2010 Year 6 Community Service Captains prepared us with responsibilities and courage for our high school years to come. The role involved being trustworthy and reliable, and having resilience when things became difficult.
This is what being Environment Captains meant to us: Helping the environment was a big part of being an Environment Captain and it was very fulfilling. Helping the school with all the daily environmental jobs was just as good as having big days full of excitement. Nina Barrow
Aidee Varan
We enjoyed being Community Service Captains this year and among other things, we were involved in organising a Bake Sale, Mother’s Day Raffle and a Sausage Sizzle to raise money for charity. We also took out the recycling bins each Friday, spoke at Chapel Services almost every Monday, coordinated who was on Sports Shed duty, and created fun and colourful posters to advertise special events around the School. We also held a Christmas lunch and an endof-year Disco.
Aidee Varan, Molly Hickmott, Ananthu Koloth & Yash Mittha Community Service Captains
I really liked being an Environment Captain because we helped the environment. It was satisfying knowing that we were doing our bit to help. Responsibility comes with being an Environment Captain and even though it was a lot of work, it was also fun. Charlie Sigston I liked being an Environment Captain because I got to help the environment while other people were doing work in class. I also liked the feeling of helping the environment. Riley Hansen

As Student Leaders, we were responsible for making decisions that could affect the whole Junior School. Those decisions were not made individually, but we worked as part of a team with the other Student Leaders and Mrs Crane. This year we made decisions about how assemblies would run, including appointing other Student Leaders and invited guests to speak.

We would not have been able to represent other students in the Junior School Concert, speak at the Official Opening of the new Indoor Sports Centre, or appear in the Community Newspaper with the Year 12 College Captains.

Captains’ Report
Bussell had a great year in 2010 and we were proud to be House Captains of such a fantastic group of talented students. The opportunity to be House Captains, not only for a semester, but for a whole year, was an amazing experience. In Term 1, the Swimming Carnival was really exciting. We swam with positive thoughts and strived for success. We were excited to discover that our results were a big improvement on the past couple of years. Term 2 began and Bussell came away with a win at the Cross-Country Carnival. It was a great experience for us and we were proud of the whole House. Bussell has a great team spirit and shows some amazing talent. We hope Bussell has great success in the Cross-Country in future, and we hope everyone continues to try their best.
We had a great year and were fortunate to be part of this Bussell team for 2010.

Also in Term 2, we were proud to raise money for the Fred Hollows Foundation by designing and making our own crazy glasses using recycled materials such as egg cartons, plastic bottles, bottle lids, old glasses, tin cans and art materials. Another big fundraising event was the Busking Day, where students could participate in an act or skit of their choice. The Junior School students donated money to their favourite act and we raised a generous amount for a worthy cause. This event was even mentioned in the local newspaper with a photograph and article!
In Term 3, Bussell’s efforts during the Athletics Carnival were amazing and we were very proud of everyone who competed. Bussell did well in the individual events and tried their best in the team games. Although we did not finish with a win this year, we hope to improve next year. The Bake Sale was also a huge success in Term 3. The Year 6s made about 750 different cakes to sell. One Friday at recess we went around to all the classes to sell each item for 50 cents. We collected all the money and the total amount came to about $375, which was then donated to World Vision.

DRUMMOND HOUSE
Drummond House
Captains’ Report
2010 was an exciting year for Drummond House. We had a great time and enjoyed every moment of it. Drummond is a wonderful House, full of energy and happiness, and we were very lucky to work with the team this year. We participated in many exciting events including the Cross-Country Carnival, Athletics Carnival and House fundraising. We all did lots of preparation and training before the Swimming Carnival, so we were ready for the
big day. Drummond did an excellent job and tried their hardest. The cheering was fabulous and it really encouraged our participants to swim as fast as they could. On the day of the Cross-Country Carnival, we all hurried to the oval ready to compete for our House. The banners were set up and all of the mascots were waiting for us. There were terrific posters covering our bay which really showed the strong Drummond spirit. Athletics was the event we had all been waiting for and everyone was excited about this carnival! The moment our Drummond team walked onto the oval, we were all filled with energy and House spirit. We learnt many chants and made sure we were heard! Everyone was encouraged to make a personal best, and many did exactly that.
Everyone is a great asset to our team, and not only do they try their hardest, they also achieve great things. You have made this year such an enjoyable and exciting one. You truly are the best!

MOLLOY HOUSE
Molloy House
Captains’ Report
The 2010 Molloy House Captains are really proud of the group Molloy has become. Molloy’s team spirit improved so much throughout the year and it really encouraged everyone to try their best. We believe this team spirit was the secret to our victory at the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals.
The money collected made its way to the Fred Hollows Foundation. Thank you to all the Molloy people who wore their crazy glasses and made a donation to help the blind. We also raised lots of money for World Vision with our Bake Sale, which was fantastically supported throughout the Junior School.
After the Swimming Carnival we were told that Molloy was definitely the House that cheered the loudest, and it was great to see everyone support and encourage their team-mates. The Athletics Carnival was also an amazing event. With remarkable results in team games (Molloy won 10 team games in a row), this proves that Molloy members are real team players! Once again, everyone cheered each other on from the sidelines and it was a great feeling that helped students to achieve their best.
As the 2010 Molloy House Captains, we both hope the phenomenal Molloy spirit continues to grow and flourish for many years to come. It really was an honour to be part of this awesome team.

Riley House had a great year in 2010. We may not have won everything, but we tried our hardest! We yelled on the sideline, supporting our team members and always having fun. Riley did a great job in Term 1 at the Swimming Carnival. Lots of effort went into making great mascots and everyone cheered on their teammates. We did really well and came a close second behind Molloy. Term 2 was another busy term for Riley. We had our Cross-Country Carnival with great participation from all team members. Lots of bright red House shirts stood out in the crowd. It was a great occasion for all the Houses.
RILEY HOUSE
Earlier in 2010, House Captains made the decision to raise money for the Fred Hollows Foundation. This foundation supports indigenous people by providing money and resources to help with vision and eye health care. We decided to do something a little different, wacky and lots of fun. We held a Crazy Glasses Day to raise money for this worthy cause. It was a great success with many colourful and creative glasses worn on the day. We also staged an All Saints’ Busking Day. The Year 6 students provided many entertaining busking items at lunch time, including a Michael Jackson item and a group of clowns performing many wonderful tricks for the younger children. The Junior School raised more than $1000 to present to the Fred Hollows Foundation.
Term 3 brought a very exciting Athletics Carnival to the Junior School. Riley made a huge effort with the team games and jumps. We managed to finish consistently in second and third place. It was a very close finish with event organisers unable to announce the winner on the day. More tallying and checking was done, and eventually Riley was announced as a very close second behind Molloy. Congratulations to all Riley members on their fantastic efforts throughout 2010.
Everywhere we go People want to know Who we are, so we tell them We are from Riley, Mighty, mighty Riley Goooooo RILEY!
When we reflect on the year, Riley has had many proud and victorious moments. It is a great House and hopefully 2011 will be just as successful. Riley is dynamite! Goooooo Riley!

World Vision was another worthy cause that we decided to support. A Bake Sale was organised by Mrs Regnard, with help from the Year 6 Student Leaders. We made many delicious snacks to sell at recess and collected more than $350 to give to World Vision. Several students came back for seconds! Look out Master Chef contestants!

A day in the life of a Year 5D student It is 8.25am and time to get organised for the day ahead. I say hello to my friends, put my diary in the pigeon-hole, my homework in the tray and my lunch order in the basket. Then I go and sit on the carpet ready to find out what we will be working on during the first lesson of the day. Our first lesson is ‘Mystery Object’. Around the classroom are 12 mystery objects from Japan. My task is to work with a partner to describe the objects and try to guess what they are used for. This is a real challenge and a great way to start our class topic for the term. Our next lesson is
Page 38 — Columba 2010
Mathematics, and today we are learning to use our protractors to measure angles. I work hard to ensure that I don’t mix up my acute and obtuse angles! Before I know it, it is time for recess. I eat my snack, chat with my friends and go down to the playground to burn off some energy! Back to class and it is time for Language. This term we are working on poetry. We read an amazing poem which describes an eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. We use Tennyson’s description to draw a picture of an eagle and then have a discussion about figurative language.
A day in the life of a Year 5M student Our next task is to write our own poems. I decide to write a poem about an octopus and by the end of the lesson I am very proud of my first draft. During the next lesson we work in the Lower Theatre with 5M on our ‘Student Leadership’ program. This is a fun and important program because we work towards being Student Leaders in the Junior School in Year 6. The lesson goes by quickly and it’s soon time for lunch. I eat hungrily with my friends and go down to the oval for a game of soccer. Afternoon school begins with Sport. We are
preparing for the Athletics Carnival later on in the term. Today we record our times in hurdles and measure our best long jumps. All too soon it is back to class for our Japanese lesson. We look at all of the mystery objects again and Sensei explains what they are used for and why they are a special part of Japanese culture.
After spending a few minutes catching up with friends I took my computer out ready for the day. Our first lesson was Science and we conducted an experiment about the microorganism yeast. We investigated what conditions yeast needed to activate and produce carbon dioxide – cold, warm or hot water and with or without sugar. While waiting for the balloons to inflate over the bottles we prepared for our poetry performances.
What a lot of learning in one day!
5M and 5D competed at a performance poetry recital with Mrs Evershed as the adjudicator. We rehearsed poems in groups, ensuring the performance was interesting for our audience. It was fun to watch how groups that were given the same poem, came up with such different performance ideas!
By Year 5D
We discovered that the yeast mixture with sugar and warm water was the fastest to inflate the balloon. After drawing our diagrams and typing our results analysis, we discussed what we knew about our microorganism study for next week – mould! Following a quick bite and game of handball at recess, we returned to the classroom for Mathematics. I played Mathletics Live for a few minutes and beat a teacher in the United Kingdom! As part of our unit on ‘Chance’ we made some probability tables for a game spinning two spinners. Working out the combinations was fairly tricky but the probability of the scores as a fraction and percentage was a real challenge!
buddies how to make simple origami. We always love spending time with our buddies! Our last lesson of the day was Music, where we banged away on xylophones and sang our favourite songs. All in all, a busy and fulfilling day in 5M - never a dull moment!

Year 6W memories from our time in Junior School. I remember when… I got 20 metres in my javelin throw. It was two thirds higher than my usual throw! Ananthu I was the closest person to a blue tongue lizard that entered my classroom. Riley I almost knocked Mr Baptist’s teeth out with my paddle during rafting at Year 6 Nanga Camp. Joshlynne I was on camp and in a boat and Mrs Renton said “whoever falls in has to do dishes duty” and Mrs Renton fell in three times. Bree Molly and I were orienteering at Nanga.

Georgia I was in Kindy and I left my teddy in my locker, I didn’t sleep at all and my parents were really tired the next day! Amy my brother drew a beard on my face when I was asleep using permanent marker. It wouldn’t wash off, so I had to go to school
with a beard! Aidee I was in Year 1 and I was so afraid of Darth Vadar that I made my friends come with me to the toilet, just in case he was hiding in there.

Choral Kick-Start Camp & Year 4 Scitech Sleepover
Year 4 Scitech Sleepover The day had finally come - the Scitech sleepover! It was like any other Thursday. We came to school, we worked hard as usual and we left. But not for long! We returned at 5pm for the sleepover. We watched part of a movie but most of us barely looked at the screen. We were all talking about how excited we were! Finally we hopped on the bus and after some emotional goodbyes, Classes 4H and 4J left for Scitech.
Choral Kick-Start Camp
Junior School – Camps & Trips 2010
In Term 1, the Junior Voices (Years 3/4 Choir) and the Saints Voices (Years 5/6 Choir) participated in a Choir Kick-Start Workshop. The workshop was held over two days, and aimed to ‘kick-start’ the choirs for 2010. The choristers learnt a variety of repertoire, which was then performed at the conclusion of the workshops with a short concert for the parents. Kick-Start also allowed for bonding opportunities as students participated in djembe workshops, outdoor obstacle courses and a swim in the All Saints’ Aquatic Centre pool. The students and staff also enjoyed delicious food prepared by parent helpers. Kick-Start was a fantastic way to start the year for our Junior School Choirs. We look forward to another fabulous workshop at the start of 2011.
Mrs Anita Newhouse Junior School Music Teacher
We finally arrived after the long bus trip and flooded through the entrance of Scitech, rushing to try to see the new exhibits. But first we took a visit to Horizon: The Planetarium, to see some cool space shows. Space is amazing! Then it was dinner time, pizza and drinks all round. We participated in two programs with the Scitech staff: electronics in the CSIRO Lab and mixing music in the Sound Studio. We made amazing music on the computers. After supper we had free time and went to bed. Unfortunately we did not get much sleep because some of us slept under the exit lights! Our teachers said it should be called the ‘Scitech No Sleepover!’ When we awoke we had more free time, hopped on the bus and headed for Kings Park. There we had a good breakfast – a bacon and egg sandwich with fresh orange juice. We played in an awesome playground before heading back to school. This excursion was fantastic but it was over in the blink of an eye. Everyone had an amazing time.

Year 5 Bickley Camp On 10 March, the Year 5 students headed off on a 45-minute drive to Bickley Camp site. Many of us joined in speech rhymes while we travelled on the bus. When we arrived at camp, we each took a bag and sleeping bag over to the benches near the dining hall. Then we split into two groups to participate in our first activities. We went on a bush walk and drew pictures of the lake with charcoal. After lunch, we separated into four assigned groups and completed our big activities including canoeing, flying fox, raft making or search and rescue. This was followed by a small activity such as bush art, low ropes or initiative games. That night we all enjoyed some fun quizzes. In the morning, some people went on a bird walk and then everyone completed their morning tasks. The weather was very hot on Thursday. We reapplied sunscreen and Mr Baptist sprayed us with the hose! It was relaxing and cooled us down. That night we watched the movie Camp Rock which was funny. We sang along to the songs in the movie, ate Maltesers and drank juice. Friday was our last day at Bickley. In the morning we packed our bags and said goodbye to our cabins! For breakfast, we had pancakes with syrup. Each of the four groups participated in two more activities before we sat down to eat lunch.

Year 6 Nanga Bush Camp All sounds around the All Saints’ Health Centre were drowned out by the excited screams of Year 6 students. At 8.30am on 29 March the bus stop at the front of the Junior School was crowded with wild animals (aka Year 6 students) all waiting to catch their prey (the bus). Mr Randall and the kind bus driver loaded our luggage while we said our goodbyes. We then hopped on the double-decker bus and headed for Nanga. The ride was long, but nobody complained because we were busy chatting about how awesome Nanga would be. We were all starving when we stopped for morning tea at a cute heritage train station. About 30 minutes later we arrived at our lovely accommodation at Nanga Bush Camp in Dwellingup. For the next four days we lived on the edge and were pushed outside of our comfort zones. We tested our skills on the low ropes course, faced our biggest fears on the flying fox, made a splash in flat water rafting, prepared delicious food, and scampered to collect stamps during orienteering. We also sanded down and decorated wooden boomerangs, raced the clock during ‘Baptist’s Bustling Biathlon’, made delectable goodies to take home for Easter, and designed and painted beautiful egg holders to put them in.
Food at camp was the best. We enjoyed every meal, especially dessert! On the first night the chocolate mousse definitely hit the spot, and the lasagne dinner on the last night was also a favourite. After dinner each night the entire Year 6 group enjoyed a special activity. Night Encounters saw us explore Nanga in the dark and learn about stars and planets. Tabloid Games tested us in giant dice games and a giant version of horse shoe throwing. On the final night we split into six teams for an Interactive Super Quiz. We were asked questions about the hottest singers and bands on the planet, the best sports stars of our generation, mathematics problems and general knowledge. All too soon, our teachers broke the news that we had to leave our beloved campsite. We packed our bags, cleaned our dormitories, said our last goodbyes and loaded the bus. When we returned to ASC we were so happy to be back in civilisation! We saw our parents’ smiling faces and knew they had missed us, so we all ran into their arms and went home for a wellearned holiday!
Joshlynne Tjandra & Christina Willshee Year 6
We travelled south to Litchfield National Park, visiting the Territory Wildlife Park en route. At Litchfield National Park, we saw amazing termite mounds. After viewing picturesque Wangi Falls, we visited the plunge pool of Florence Falls for a refreshing dip.
Little Ambassador Club Japan Trip Our adventure in Japan began when 12 Years 5, 6 and 7 students and three teachers met at Perth International Airport on the night of Friday, 1 October in the middle of the school holidays. After we arrived in Tokyo the following morning, we toured the famous Narita-san Temple and did some shopping in the surrounding streets. That night we enjoyed dinner in the hotel restaurant with the Principal and some teachers from Shirogane Primary School. On Sunday morning we headed to Sakura City, our home for the rest of the trip. We were all a bit nervous when we first arrived, but our Japanese friends soon made us feel right at home. After some speeches by our hosts and Tate-Sensei, we each had to stand up and introduce ourselves in Japanese. After a shared lunch it was time to leave the group and spend the rest of the weekend experiencing Japanese family life with our host families. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we visited Shirogane Primary School. The school went to great effort to welcome us and make us feel important! Each year group organised a special activity for us, including sport and singing, Japanese calligraphy, an art activity, games and dancing, and traditional toys and games.
Thursday was spent on a tour of Tokyo city. We went to Asakusa Kannon, one of the most famous temples in Japan, where we also did some souvenir shopping. We climbed the 150m Tokyo Tower and enjoyed views across the city, visited Akihabara where you can buy all sorts of electrical goods and games, and finally went to Tokyo station to catch a shinkansen, or bullet train, to Ohmiya. Friday was the highlight of the trip for many of us, our day at Tokyo Disneyland. We arrived at 9.30am and didn’t leave until 9.30pm! Some of us discovered for the first time that we really do like roller-coasters. At last it was Saturday – time to return home to our families in Perth. We were happy to be heading home, but sad to say goodbye to all of our new friends who had been so good to us during our stay. We touched down in Perth at 6.00am Sunday, tired but full of stories to tell our families about everything we had done.
A visit to Darwin and beyond On 10 July, students and staff departed Perth for the warmer climate of Darwin. In our first couple of days we experienced the excitement of Darwin’s Wave Pool, enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Mindil Street Markets and sat on the soft sand of Mindil Beach to watch the sun sink into the Timor Sea.
Next we headed to mysterious Kakadu National Park and Gunlom Falls, a stunning, scenic location, made famous as ‘Echo Pool’ in the Crocodile Dundee movie and a wonderful place to cool off. After leaving Gunlom, disaster struck! On the rough road, an air hose burst and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, a temporary repair had us mobile again. Our second day in Kakadu began with the Guluyambi Cruise along the East Alligator River in search of saltwater crocodiles, and we were not disappointed. We disembarked in Arnhem Land and climbed a rocky outcrop for magnificent views of the river. After the cruise, we headed to Ubirr Rock, an area steeped in Aboriginal mythology, with intriguing rock art galleries. We climbed Ubirr Rock for an outstanding view of the surrounding wetlands. We joined the Jumping Crocodile Cruise on the Adelaide River and witnessed the thrilling spectacle of huge crocodiles, launching vertically out of the water to snap at buffalo meat, suspended from a pole. Back in Darwin, we visited Aquascene to hand-feed large ‘wild’ fish as well as Crocosaurus Cove, to see more crocs and other reptiles. Our last night in Darwin was spent enjoying a tropical sunset dinner cruise aboard the schooner ‘Alfred Nobel’. The end of the week came all too quickly and the students arrived home safely on Friday evening, 16 July, with many exciting stories to tell.

Then it was time to hop on the bus again for our return trip to All Saints’. On the way, we saw many different coloured flowers, horses and bright signs. The air conditioning on the bus was not working and by the time we got back to school some of us felt like we had taken a bath in sweat! Camp was a great experience and we enjoyed every minute of it.

Choral Music
Junior School – Arts 2010
Choral singing is an important component of the music program, and all students are given an 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. Students learnt about jazz music this year, and therefore each class also presented a song in that style. The Festival was adjudicated by Mr John Beaverstock and a high standard of performance was achieved. Restructuring the choral program has proven very successful with four extracurricular choirs providing extension for talented and interested students: The Little Saints’ Choir for students in Year 2, Junior Voices for Years 3 and 4 students, Saints’ Voices for Years 5 and 6, and Junior Chamber Choir – a select group of eight girls from the Saints’ Voices.
Instrumental Work Students have the opportunity to learn Page 58 — Columba 2010
All Year 3 students have the opportunity to receive tuition in a string instrument or recorder as part of their curriculum. Since 2009, there has been outstanding development in the string program under the direction of Mrs Thea Kotzé, Coordinator of Strings. The Suzuki string program for students from Kindergarten to Year 2, which was introduced in 2008, is also flourishing. A successful internal Strings Eisteddfod was held on 4 August with 45 solo entries across the College. All the string ensembles, duets and trios also performed in this event. An external adjudicator, Simra Lee, provided excellent feedback to all students who received gold, silver or bronze medals. There are three string ensembles in the Junior School to provide additional developmental opportunities for all students at their level of performance. These ensembles are all directed by Mrs Kotzé: Saints’ Strings - the senior ensemble, Kids’ String Ensemble – a group of string players who have been introduced to ensemble work, and Suzuki Ensemble - a special group session for Suzuki students who have reached the required level of performance. The Wind Band program gives all Year 5 students the opportunity to learn a woodwind or brass instrument. The program was introduced in 2008 and progressed this year under the excellent direction of Mrs Anita Newhouse. All students receive instrumental tuition from an instrumental specialist and have a band session once a week, during a class music period, with Mrs Newhouse. African Drumming under the direction of Mrs Jennifer Kinsella, currently has six students who are learning technique, style and improvisation skills.
Dance The Dance program at All Saints’ is designed to inspire creativity, develop physical skills and increase confidence and self-expression through movement exploration and choreography. This was certainly apparent in 2010 with a major highlight of the Dance program being the Junior School Concert – ART IN MOTION: Every Picture Tells a Story at Perth Concert Hall. Each class from K-6 interpreted an Australian painting through Dance. The extracurricular Dance groups were also busy this year with performances in the annual College Dance Concert at John Curtin College of the Arts in Fremantle. The Junior School dancers received wonderful reviews and performance experience. These groups ended the year with performances at the Achper Primary Dance Festival. Miss Narelle Codalonga & Mr Terry Pirlo Junior School Dance Teachers
Drama The All Saints’ College Drama program encourages students to develop physical, creative and performance skills. The Year 6 students learnt about the various skills required for ‘circus and clown’ entertainment through Drama skills and processes. They developed skills such as juggling, application of clown make-up, using comedy and mime to portray various types of clowns and characters, as well as movement and performance for various audiences. Some of the students used their performance skills on stage at the Junior School Concert – ART IN MOTION: Every Picture Tells a Story at Perth Concert Hall. For their final performance of the year, the Drama students developed and performed mini skits and plays for the Kindergarten classes in full costume and make-up.

The Orff approach to music education, which was adopted at All Saints’ College Junior School in 2004, continues to flourish and has resulted 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 holistic and allinclusive, where students are actively involved in music-making, composing, creating and performing. The success of this method is also evident in the School, where whole classes are involved in performances at College assemblies and in the community. To further enrich the music program, elements of the Kodaly approach were also implemented from 2009. Kodaly has a strong focus on the development of aural perception and musicianship, as well as the reading of notation. The results of this program are already evident in the standard of singing presented within the classroom and choral program.

The Concert had a special link to the curriculum, because each year level was involved in researching and interpreting an Australian artwork that had some significance in our country’s history. In Music and Dance, students explored ways to interpret and express the artwork through performance. The visitors locked inside the gallery were from the Year 6 Drama program.

Cowan House Captains L to R: Robert Banks (Vice Captain), Mrs Christine Kroeger (Acting Head of House), Athina Mallis (Captain). Absent: Shannon Beattie (Captain).
The role of Cowan House Captains was not as we first expected, but with a fantastic (and merciful) Head of House, Mrs Kroeger, a willing and supportive House Council and an energetic and cooperative House, our responsibilities became much clearer and more enjoyable.
Quiz and Debating, and the House activity period held in Week 6 of each term. During the House activity period Cowan participated in a Mini Olympics, developed a new Cowan song, and we expressed ourselves by etching some artwork onto a piece of metal for the new College sculptures.
Our first job as House Captains was to organise the Swimming Carnival in Term 1. This event can sometimes ‘make or break’ the Council and is usually a good indicator of how we might perform throughout the rest of the year. Thankfully, we finished the day without too many scratches and a second place under our belts!
Cowan celebrated many successes this year, which was testament to the abundant House spirit and enthusiasm shown by its members. In Swimming, Cowan achieved second place, we won the CrossCountry which was a great accomplishment, and we were third in Athletics. These successes would not have been possible without the contributions and support of all Cowan students and staff.
In 2010 we were involved in the regular annual events such as the Interhouse Athletics and CrossCountry Carnivals, Interhouse sport and cultural activities. In all of these events, Cowan participated wholeheartedly and every result was commendable. We also experienced some new challenges including the Thursday House period for Interhouse Chess,
Page 72 — Columba 2010
The warmest appreciation and applause go to our Head of House, Mrs Kroeger, who encouraged Cowan and was a great role model for all students and staff. Mrs Kroeger was such an inspiration to all of us this year and we thank her for her hard work and efforts. All of our best wishes go to the House for the future and to the 2011 Captains. Go Cowan!

We began our duties towards the end of 2009, before we even hit the responsibilities of Year 12. We met with incoming Years 7 and 8 students for the first time at Orientation Day, and enjoyed the opportunity to have some fun and get to know these friendly new faces before the start of the academic year. It was certainly a taste of the promising opportunities ahead. The House afternoon also provided us with a chance to meet new faces and old friends on a great sunny afternoon, just as the year got into full swing.

Durack House After-School Sport in Terms 1 and 2 displayed the fantastic efforts and talents of everyone who played, coached and umpired, and earned us a well-deserved win for both terms. This success was a credit to our participation and sportsmanship, more so than our sheer athleticism. Interschool Carnivals provided us with a chance for individuals to shine, but most importantly, for Durack to shine collectively. We did not focus on just being the best, but rather, on filling every event with our team spirit.
Every Durackian should be proud of their commitment and contributions to the House in 2010, whether through the Carnivals, After-School Sport, Chess, Debating, Quiz, or even by providing a link in Durack’s support net. The combined efforts of everyone were great to see and experience.

Thank you to everyone who helped throughout the year, from the students who made us smile and gave us something to work for, to the Council for their constant efforts and enthusiasm. We cannot forget to mention the wonderful support we received from Mr Hill and the Tutors. Without these special people, our job this year and last, would have been impossible!
Celebrating 30 years
2010 was yet again, a fantastic year for Durack House. With our small goals and grand participation, a sentiment that has become somewhat of an inside motto for Durackians, we achieved the seemingly ‘impossible’ as a united team, and in traditional Durack spirit.

Forrest flew off the starting blocks at the Swimming Carnival in Term 1. After a frustrating day of walkie talkie communication and many encouraging words, all Forrestinians who swam and cheered, contributed to yet another win for the House and made our victory all the more enjoyable. Term 2 was welcomed with fine weather and enthusiastic runners. Forrest participated whole-heartedly in the Cross-Country Carnival and everyone reached the finish line with a smile. After the first batch of icy poles did not freeze, the second batch helped to widen competitors’ smiles a little more. Term 3 was a blur of constant activity. Forrest performed well in the Athletics, despite intensely close competition from the other Houses.

The weather cooperated with complete sunshine and the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you to everyone who participated in various Interhouse competitions this year, be it sporting or cultural. No matter the outcome, the Forrest House spirit is felt by all and can never be outdone.

We reached this aim throughout the year and continued our own spiritual legacy, accomplishing a feeling of inner-community within Murdoch House. The degree to which Murdoch reached its togetherness is an absolute reflection of the 2010 student group. We must thank the 2010 Murdochians for making our job, well… not a job at all!
Making our mark on the House proved difficult, but by remaining optimistic and courageous (much like our mascot – the almighty bull) we were successful. The academic, cultural and sporting achievements we witnessed and experienced this year were tremendous. It was an absolute privilege to lead Murdoch House, and we will both be stained red for the rest of our lives!

There is no other House quite like Murdoch. The spirit within each Murdochian is witnessed and envied by other Houses. As a new member of All Saints’ College Murdoch House, the first thing you will learn and continue to pledge is ‘Murdoch Pride’, a simple characteristic which introduces students to our fierce House spirit. Our goal as House Captains in 2010, was to continue the legacy of ‘Murdoch Pride’ within the House.

Richard Handoko
In the past, O’Connor was known as the ‘Cultural House’ and building upon this label was the highlight of the year. All House members performed remarkably and gained excellent results in both cultural and sporting events. Achieving third place in the Swimming Carnival and fourth in Cross-Country, saw a dramatic turn in O’Connor’s history as a sporting House. Later in the year, we were nervous for the final showdown - the Athletics Carnival. It was time for O’Connor’s brilliant colours to shine, and they did! We pulled together and gave it our all.
Page 88 — Columba 2010
At the end of the day, all our efforts paid off and we finished in an astounding second place. Everyone worked so hard and devoted so much time and energy to represent and support the House. We could not have been happier with the result.
To all the O’Connorians…
Thank you all for this unforgettable experience.

What a truly amazing year! We began the year feeling excited and nervous about the future of O’Connor House, but having now arrived at the end of 2010, nothing has made us prouder than our time as the serving O’Connor House Captains. We were privileged to work with a group of fantastic people, whose selflessness and support created a truly spectacular year for O’Connor House.

Elizabeth Hill
The year started with a disappointing sixth place in the Swimming Carnival. However, this only emphasised the message that achievement cannot come without effort. Stirling embraced this work ethic and improved its result in the Cross-Country Carnival. Despite overcoming absences, sickness and injury, in true House spirit we managed to fill every event in the Athletics Carnival. This was an amazing achievement and something of which the House should be very proud. Stirling may not always be known as the most athletic House, but we are known for our sportsmanship and team spirit. In cultural activities, Stirling shone with pleasing results in Debating, Chess and Quiz. It was also promising to see the high levels of participation and achievement from our new Years 7 and 8 Stirling House members. Stirling lost several dearly loved staff members this year, all of whom were valued mentors: Mr Adam Kealley, who was Head of House until the end of Term 2, tutors and teachers Mr Balding, Mr Heron and Ms Blair.

However, we welcomed Mrs Debra White as Acting Head of House for 2010, Dr Barnett, Ms Elscott and Ms Gitos.
Finally, huge thanks to Mrs White and Mr Kealley for being so supportive and helping me and the House throughout 2010.
As Stirling House Captain for 2010, I am proud of the way Stirling willingly participated and tried new things. It was a pleasure to lead a group of people with such diverse skills and personalities. Everyone was responsible, enthusiastic and just plain awesome! It was amazing to guide the House through its low points and celebrate its achievements. At the start of the year, I anticipated that being the only Year 12 House Captain for Stirling, would be an intimidating and challenging task. However, I quickly learnt that I was supported by the most reliable and incredible House Council. Thank you to Briana Preimesberger, John Arakkal, Anthony Giuliani, Melissa Gray and Haylee Smyth, who made this year an absolute pleasure.
I wish Stirling House and next year’s House Council good luck for the future. I hope Stirling continues to be, in my humble opinion, the greatest House at All Saints’ College!

2010 was a tumultuous year for Stirling House. We had our share of triumphs and tribulations, however, I am proud to say the Stirling spirit stayed strong. We have a reputation for being a House that encourages each other, and tries our best across all aspects of College life. This year, Stirling House members only reinforced this reputation through increased participation and House spirit.

Transition Program 2010
Peer Support Program 2010
In 2010, the ‘half-cohort’ moved into Year 8 so there were only four Year 8 Tutor Groups this year. The Year 7 cohort grew and another Tutor Group was introduced to create four Year 7 classes. Due to the increased number of new students in Year 7, overnight Team Building Camps at Manjedal Scout Centre were organised for both Years 7 and 8 classes. Ms McGhie
Page 100 — Columba 2010
moved to become a Year 7 teacher in 2010, and Ms Watson joined us in Year 8 during the year when Mrs White was promoted to Acting Head of Stirling House. One of the strengths of the Transition Program is the sharing, commitment and team approach of the staff. They work together to provide pastoral and academic programs that are tailored to stimulate the interest of the young adolescent mind and also give a sound foundation for future learning. Once again, excursions and incursions added to the depth of learning experiences across many different curriculum areas. The year started with exciting afternoons of Music for Year 7 on the first day, and Year 8 on the second day of school. For the second year, Year 7s competed successfully with the rest of the Senior School in the ACC Carnivals. There were six teams entered in the West Australian Debating League Competitions, with most teams coming first or second in their sections. Teams also participated in
the AHISA Debating Competition. The new Lego Club, as well as Robotics, Environment Group and Chess, added to the variety of activities offered by the popular Interhouse Competitions. Fun between the Tutor Groups was again evident this year in the SOSE Quiz, with a brave Year 7 team holding its own and 8X emerging as the winners. An important pastoral initiative is our involvement in the pilot program of the Cyber Friendly Schools Project. Curriculum material was used in the Year 8 Life Skills classes, and the Year 10 Cyber Friendly Schools Leaders and College Counsellor, Mrs Wilson, gave informative presentations to the Years 7 and 8 students. Another eventful year has passed and another group of students has become immersed in the culture and community of All Saints’ College.
Amid the hugs and final group photographs during our last Peer Support session this year, we realised just how much the Year 8 students meant to us. It took a few misses before we Peer Support Leaders figured out exactly which activities would be hits, but the times we got it right made it all so worthwhile. To watch a previously withdrawn student blossom as a Leader, or a shy student laugh as they got caught up in a game of blindfolded soccer (less dangerous than it sounds), was absolutely priceless. When we figured out how to choose fun activities based around our designated themes of trust, problem solving and friendship, we always walked away grinning.
While the activities and games were designed for the benefit of the Year 8s, we learned just as much about leadership and teamwork in the process as they did. Peer Support was all about working together, keeping an open mind and discovering what worked the best as we progressed in the program. It was learning when to stay on task and when to roll down the hill with them; in a way that is what life is all about too. Being a Peer Support Leader was an absolutely incredible experience and one of my most precious school memories.

In the 30th year of All Saints’ College, the Transition Program also reached a milestone. 2010 marked its 10th year, having started in 2001. The Transition Program is designed to meet the needs of early adolescents as they move from primary to secondary schooling. It is based on many of the middle schooling principles, but it has not created the extra barriers of a separate middle school. While it is now well established within the Senior School, we are continually reviewing our processes to determine if we are effective in our aim to provide a supportive and positive learning environment for our students.

French Trip & Italian Trip
We soon worked off all the baguettes we had eaten by climbing the Eiffel Tower stairs, strolling down the Champs-Élysées and getting lost in the many rooms of Versailles. We went shopping on Rue Moufftard, had fun on the roller coasters at Disneyland Paris and saw the Lion King stage show in French.
After a slight detour to Milan for a couple of hours due to a storm preventing the plane from landing, we eventually descended upon Nice. We all felt nervous and anxious about meeting our French families, with whom we would stay for the next two weeks. Within a few days we became accustomed to the daily routine of our French families and host students. We also experienced going to some of our host students’ classes at Lycée d’Estienne d’Orves. We caught up with our fellow Aussies during an excursion to Monaco, where we drank hot chocolate while looking at the expensive sports cars surrounding the Monte Carlo Casino. A trip to the snowfields was particularly exciting for the Australians who had never seen snow before! Our families and host students also took us to visit many tourist sites including Cannes and St Tropez, and introduced us to different foods such as socca, a type of savoury crepe, as well as cactus flavoured icecream! Saying goodbye to our new friends and families was difficult, especially at 5am due to a train strike and the cancellation of our 9.30am train. However, we all arrived safely in Paris, and even though we were tired we could not wait to explore the city.

Italian Trip On 25 March, a group of excited Years 10 and 11 Italian students departed Perth for a three-week study tour of Italy. After a long and tiring journey, we arrived in Venice and were instantly surrounded by the Italian language and culture. Although Italy has enough sights to last a lifetime, we had to be content with three weeks of sight-seeing at a fast pace! We saw many of the major attractions such as the Gothic Cathedral in Milan and its accompanying shops at Galleria, the Colosseum in Rome, Vatican City and Sistine Chapel. We were amazed that a structure such as the Colosseum had survived for thousands of years. We took a day trip to Verona, the home of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and saw Juliet’s Balcony and the Roman Arena. In Rome, we met with Peter Carnley Anglican Community School and enjoyed many of the sights with them. We saw Castel Sant’Angelo from the movie Angels and Demons, the
On Easter Sunday we left for Pompeii and enjoyed an authentic Catholic mass with the Benedictine monks of the Montecassino Abbey. We stayed in Pompeii for two days with Peter Carnley School and had a tour of the city which was buried by a volcano in 79AD. We even discovered the ancient origins of the zebra crossing and the laundromat! Next we travelled to Florence where we spent eight days with our host families, immersing ourselves in Italian family life and culture. It was here that we also visited the ABC Language School, an amazing opportunity that offered many valuable learning experiences. We were fortunate to attend a soccer game between Inter Milan and Florence. The atmosphere was amazing and incredibly different from that of an Australian Football League game. Florence also gave us the opportunity to attend a discoteca with lots of fun and dancing. We spent our final night in Venice, enjoying hot chocolate in Piazza San Marco, where we had started our journey three weeks earlier. The trip was an amazing experience and provided many valuable learning opportunities. We would recommend it to anyone who is lucky enough to attend.

Thank you to Madame Thiele for organising the trip, looking after us and ensuring we all returned to Australia as scheduled and alive, despite the travel problems we faced! Thanks also to Mr Lanigan for looking after us and being a great “Dad”.

Mount Hotham Ski Trip
Senior School Camps & Trips
Would you enjoy throwing snowballs at teachers, drinking copious amounts of hot chocolate, experiencing gravity first-hand on what seems like a 90-degree slope, and being surrounded by snow for fun and frolicking? Then Ski Trip is for you! Mount Hotham, Victoria was the setting for our eight-day snow expedition where 46 staff and students set out with one goal, one dream, one mission - to make it down a black run by the end of the week without disaster. This dream was made possible by attending daily lessons with our culturally diverse ski and board instructors, who after offering their wise words of snowy wisdom, set us loose to roam the mountain. Many of us stayed close to home, satisfied with our efforts on the beginner’s slopes and button lift. The more extreme among the group, who considered themselves professional, explored the terrain off the mountain. As the days progressed, the confidence and skills of our group improved dramatically and our routine became: sleeping, eating, skiing, eating, skiing, eating, and sleeping! Looking back on the week and realising how much our ski techniques had developed, was an amazing feat and extremely satisfying. Before making our way back to ‘reality’, we made a stopover in Melbourne, where we spent a night

Political and Legal Studies Trip The Political and Legal Studies Trip to Canberra taught us more than just political and historical information. Everyone gained knowledge, priceless experience and most precious of all, friendship. We departed early on a cold Sunday morning, 29 August. Little did we know, we were about to embark on a journey that we would remember for the rest of our lives. Despite being extremely tired after staying awake all night on the plane, we were still excited about our first day in Canberra. We visited Mount Ainslie, the best spot to view Canberra, and made our way to Telstra Tower which is among the top 20 tallest towers in the world. Standing 195m tall, the Tower has the most breathtaking sweeping views. We visited many places that were not only fascinating, but highly valuable to our course of study, including the War Memorial and National Archives Gallery. The National Art Gallery broadened our artistic knowledge, as did our visit to the National Portrait Gallery where we
We spent a day at Parliament House where we were privileged to hear people speak about the current political standings. Simulating the process of law-making on committees, we were challenged to express our opinion about current issues. The day we left Canberra, we reminisced about the past week spent at Eaglehawk Holiday Park. We already missed the study sessions, long hours of conversation, queuing for the shower and our small television, but we were eager for our bus trip to Sydney. We visited the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, where we were fortunate to watch The Pirates of Penzance. We were stunned and astonished by the beauty and wonders of Australia’s most populated city. With Mr Brown’s perpetual knowledge and Mrs Coate’s incredible patience, we believe it was one of the greatest and most educational trips of the year, and for that we are truly grateful.

Choral Camp
Instrumental Camp
Each year an Instrumental Camp is organised for all the Senior School ensembles. However, the choirs began to feel a tad left out! Fortunately, this year the first Choral Camp was held for students in Years 7-12.
“It’s going to be such an exciting camp,” said a rather enthusiastic Music teacher, as the Senior School Music students boarded their bus to Swanleigh for this annual, intensive weekend of music-making.
On Friday afternoon, 28 May, we joined the boarders at Swanleigh Boarding House. More than 30 choral students, boys and girls, attended the camp. Sharing mattresses, bathrooms, meal times, clothing and vocal talent throughout the short, weird and wonderful weekend, was certainly lots of fun. Not to forget the development of strength, talent and confidence in our three principal Senior School choirs during the workshops. We returned from the camp drained and tired from long days of rehearsals, yet proud of our efforts to expand our repertoire and bond as a choral team under the direction of marvellous Music teachers. Special thanks to Mrs Kerkovius, Mrs Currie, Mrs Kroeger, Mr Beaverstock and Dr Shaw for dedicating their weekend to attend regular early morning and afternoon rehearsals, and devoting themselves to improve our musical reputation at the College.
Rachel Richardson Year 11
At Swanleigh, we unpacked our instruments from the truck and launched straight into rehearsal mode, making the most of the time we had before dinner. The quiz night was enjoyable as always, with a bright and vibrant atmosphere, and stunning movie-themed costumes worn by some creative students. The mood remained unchanged as we later moved to our rooms where sleeping was definitely not on the top of the agenda, but rather secret stashes of junk food! The cold morning shone weakly onto Swanleigh, possibly alluding to our tiredness as we trudged up to breakfast. However, we were soon ready for the day ahead, and after a warm-up singing session with the Music tutors, we started our day of rehearsals. The cacophony of music gradually melded together as ensembles rehearsed diligently, stopping only for meals and short breaks. By the end of the day, music from the various ensembles wafted around amid familiar themes and beautiful melodies.
This was followed by a ‘skit night’ in the hall where Music tutors organised us into groups to perform imaginative acts. Our third day followed the same routine as the previous one, until lunchtime, when we packed our instruments and returned home. As always, Instrumental Camp was an extremely worthwhile experience. Thank you to the Music Department for organising the camp, as well as the additional teachers who chose to spend a weekend with us. While rehearsals can be tough work, it is still great fun and we eagerly look forward to next year’s camp.

Busselton Scuba Camp
Margaret River Surf Camp
Never before had any of us felt the euphoria of being 20 metres down at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by amazing sea life, and completely reliant on a Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus and a dive buddy. This dive buddy, might we add, was just another peer on Scuba Camp who was also interested in the fascinating underwater world, with no previous experience in diving.
On Sunday, 28 March, 19 eager students departed All Saints’ College ready to tackle some of the biggest waves on the planet, during five days of jam-packed surfing in the Margaret River region. Upon arriving at our accommodation, we were introduced to local surfing legend ‘Josho’, who is more formally known as Josh Palmateer. Throughout the week, Josh introduced us to some of the best local surf breaks, as well as the local surf ‘lingo’!
There once was a class that went to Rotto for Art They explored the bushland, pulling their trusty cart (filled with Art stuff) They drew the view, avoided quokka poo And made installations straight from the heart. The night fell upon them, they went back to camp To the dining room as it got a bit damp After they ate, newspaper was their fate Then to make it wearable, everyone was a champ! Lovely Jacinta came with them the next day They went to the beach, inspired by the bay Jacinta is a saint, and out came the paint As she taught them fantastic new ways.

Of course, before we were dumped in the middle of the big blue ocean, some training was required. This consisted of two consecutive days in the All Saints’ Aquatic Centre swimming pool and classroom, starting on 27 March. Here, we learnt basic routines, dive charts, terms, emergency actions, and more safety procedures than we could poke a stick at! While these two days were certainly beneficial, we were all extremely glad to travel to Busselton for the rest of our diving adventure. Busselton was the destination for scuba diving, relaxing, and enjoying the company of friends. Scuba Camp was exciting, fun, educational and a wonderful life experience. So, if you are going to take away practical skills from your time at school, a Paddy’s recreational scuba diving licence is a guaranteed ‘must have’ in the outside world.

After a short drive down to Augusta to find some appropriately sized waves for our first session in the water, the over-confident boys quickly retracted their prior statements about being able to surf the big waves back at Margaret River. The Augusta surf still proved to be a challenge for the group! We soon picked up on some of the new ‘surf speak’ and invented nicknames for each other which ended in ‘o’, with Sheono, Matto and The Flying Tomato, to name a few. Throughout the week we chewed and gulped our way through kilos of food and litres of liquid, including hundreds of muesli bars, mi-goreng packets and bread rolls. Long days spent in the salt water, sun and sand saw us come home each day with burns, rashes and knotted hair, but no matter how battered, we were always ready to tackle the next day. By the time days three and four came around, everyone had managed to stand up at some stage,
some more confidently than others. We all managed to make it to the back of the big sets, which led to some great surfing and even more spectacular wipe-outs! The final day came. We were all exhausted, but happy to have spent five amazing days together. After a quick clean up, we headed to the river mouth to compete in our final surfing competition. There were some amazing surfing heats and the groups were reduced to two heavily contested male and female finals. Matthew Hansen and German exchange student, Alex Dietel, were the Male and Female Champions. Thank you to Miss Greene and Mr Pougnault for being outstanding mentors and friends throughout the week - it would not have been the same without them.

Lancelin Surf Camp We are sure everyone who went on Lancelin Surf Camp would agree - it was one of the most fun-filled, brilliant weeks any of us had experienced. We arrived at Lancelin Lodge, all wondering whether we had turned up at the right place, or whether they had dropped us off at a 5-star resort on the beach! Either way, we were eager to rush inside and get settled into our new home for the next week. We started the week on a great note, with a quick surf at the Back Beach.
This lesson was an introduction to surfing before we attempted anything more technical. After our surf, we all raced for the first shower as part of our afternoon routine, followed by relaxation time on the lounge, hammocks, or by the pool and volleyball courts, before the evening dinner. Dinner was prepared and cooked by a different group of students each night with help from our awesome instructor, Simon, while another group was rostered on clean-up duties.Day two was an early rise, but none of us seemed to mind because the surf conditions looked perfect. Some of us got the hang of it and stood up for a while in the wash, which seemed like such a big achievement! This was thanks to the help of our three amazing, patient and always enthusiastic instructors. We still insisted on spending the entire afternoon playing volleyball or table tennis to use up even more energy. By days three and four we were like budding ‘Kelly Slaters’ on the surf. Some people were confident enough to explore the green waves out the back of the surf, which took strenuous effort just to paddle out there. The reward was being dumped by heavy surf on the way back into shore! We repeated this process over and over until finally we did catch a good wave (which came sooner for some than others). That afternoon we went to Lancelin sand dunes to test our skills at sand boarding. The last day was a sad one, only for the fact that we had to leave. We enjoyed our final surf and competition, said thank you to our effervescent instructors and departed for home, reminiscing about the unforgettable week we had just experienced. Our once-in-a-lifetime experience would not have been so wonderful without the help of our teachers, Mr Tsocas and Mrs Da Cruz. Kelly Harrison & Steve Long Year 11

White Water Kayaking Camp Putting a damp wetsuit on at 7.30am in 10-degree weather, is not something I would recommend, but aside from that, White Water Kayaking Camp was an exhilarating week. The week began with a long drive down to Honeymoon Pool, accompanied by some sweet song renditions by Mr Zaurs. We arrived to meet our White Water Champ, Dave Worthy, who is an Avon Descent champion. We quickly made our way into the water and began learning basic skills such as strokes. This was followed by a game of kayak soccer with a large pink gym ball, and not forgetting the dreaded capsize drills! We soon discovered just how cold the water was at the bottom of the dam. The next morning, we awoke to our first full day of white water kayaking. We started just below the dam wall and slowly traversed the chutes and rock slides. Unfortunately, when we reached the final flat water section the water level was very low and the rest of the afternoon involved shuffling over several logs. The next day some new techniques were brought to our attention including gliding and low turns. On the final day of camp, we embarked on an epic journey from our campsite down to the Burekup irrigation channel.
Page 108 — Columba 2010
We faced some more challenging rapids including a 2 metre waterfall, beautiful scenery and some magnificent stacks! The completion of our 12 kilometre journey saw us slowly float along with the current of the Burekup irrigation channel to find our warm bus waiting for us. The week was an awesome experience and special thanks to Mr Zaurs, Ms Ford and Dave, for sharing all of their knowledge with us and for the unforgettable experiences. Robert Banks Year 11
Adventure Out Camp Abseiling, caving, tenting, campfires, hiking, fun, teamwork and friendship – these are the perfect words to describe Adventure Out 2010. On 28 March, we left Perth for Big Valley Campsite, located in the middle of a working farm in the beautiful Margaret River region. At the campsite we met Simon, Alastair and Dave-O, Adventure Out leaders who would look after us for the week. Our first task involved setting out on a navigation activity in groups of six. Using some basic orienteering skills, we navigated more than 3 kilometres. The next day we travelled to
On the third day, we set off on a long hike through the Boranup Forest where our final destination was a campsite hidden away from the rest of the world. Here, we set up two tarpaulin tents, ate a barbecue dinner and played games before retiring to bed for a night of exposure to the elements. The next two-day activity was caving. The small lake that filled Lake Cave created amazing images by reflecting the cave’s formations. Calgardup Cave was the next stop where we climbed through a section of the cave not open to the public. We squeezed through a passage known as the ‘birth canal’ and experienced true cave darkness. That night also included a trip for some to a cave called Golgotha, where we sat and reflected in a chamber far below the surface. We experienced two cave abseils the next day, one involving a massive open pit known as Bride’s Cave. This was followed by a night at the mouth of the Margaret River, rolling and sneaking through the sand dunes in a fun game of spotlight. All of us returned to All Saints’ feeling tired, but with amazing memories. Special thanks to the Adventure Out leaders, Mrs van Dongen, Mrs Ellement and Mr Groves, for all of their support and guidance. Eilene Botha & Tim Noonan Year 11
Southern Forests Cycling and Activity Camp In the early morning of Sunday, 27 March, a group of Year 11 students together with Mr Beaverstock, boarded a bus and began the long bus trip down to Donnelly River. Everyone was full of anticipation for the upcoming week of activities and bike riding. We sorted out our accommodation arrangements and tested our skills on the gravel jumps outside the General Store, before setting off on our first bike ride. This ride followed an old railway track and proved to be a great insight into the upcoming week of activities. That night we put our minimal cooking skills to use, before preparing for our next day of riding and activities. We met our local guide Andy, and rode to Willow Springs for morning tea. The group then went to the Gloucester Tree lookout near Pemberton. Those who were brave enough climbed the spiralling metal rungs to the top for a fantastic view of the South West Forest. Tuesday was perhaps our most difficult day of all. The bus dropped us in Pemberton to ride a newly completed mountain bike track. After warming up on the shorter skills track and then trying our hand on the jumping track, we set off. This track was competition grade and we all found it tough and exhausting. Wednesday was a relaxation day for us all to regain our energy. We enjoyed different activities around the campsite such as flying fox, pool and table tennis. That night, we enjoyed a massive game of spotlight around the entire campsite. Thursday was our final day of cycling. We rode the infamous Heartbreak Trail and at our lunch spot, some of the group went canoeing. There was also an opportunity to climb the Bicentennial Tree, which was taller than the Gloucester Tree. The Southern Forests Cycling and Activity Camp was a fun and challenging experience for everyone
involved. On behalf of the group, thank you to Mr Beaverstock for making it all possible. Stephen Jerkovic Year 11
Helping Hands Project During Helping Hands Week I participated in outdoor activities. This project gave me an opportunity to give something back to the community, by working with my peers to help clean up the environment. We were separated into small groups with Year 10 students from various social groups. We not only learnt more about ourselves, but also met new people. There was an obstacle early in the week when Mr Williams went down with an ankle injury. Thanks to the cool heads of our teachers in charge, we were able to continue with our tasks. After all the hard work there was time to relax, whether it was having a swim before taking the ferry back from Penguin Island, or enjoying McDonald’s on the way home. Dylan Biggs Year 10 I was involved in a four-way swap project for Year 10 Helping Hands Week, where each day involved a different environmental activity: cleaning out drains in the neighbourhood and rehabilitation work at Canning River, Bull Creek Wetlands and Penguin Island.
However, due to the storm the week before Helping Hands began, we were unable to go to Canning River. Instead, we went to an orphanage to help them with gardening. On the second day we were supposed to head down to Bull Creek, but unfortunately, Mr Williams sprained his ankle the previous day and was on crutches. We merged with the cooking group and made cakes to give to Food Bank. On day three we learnt about the importance of keeping drains clean, before venturing out to clean drains throughout Perth. This also involved spray painting a sign onto the cleaned drains which read: ‘Clean Drains, River Gains’. On the final day of Helping Hands we went to Penguin Island to help rejuvenate the environment. This was tough physical work, but very rewarding. At the end of the day we enjoyed a penguin show where we watched them swim, dive and play. This made us realise the significance of our hard work during the day, and gave us a greater appreciation for all the work that goes into some things we take for granted. Overall, Helping Hands was a tough experience but I really enjoyed knowing that I was making a difference somehow, even if it was only a small one. Matthew Ramanah Year 10

Wilyabrup sea cliffs where we abseiled down massive cliff faces including 15 metre, 30 metre and 45 metre drops. Some of the braver people in the group chose to abseil face first down the cliffs. We then stopped at Cowaramup Bay for a swim before heading back to camp.

Year 12 Biology Camp Early in the morning on 24 June, six sleepy, but excited Year 12 Biology students headed down to Dryandra Woodland for their much anticipated fieldwork camp, accompanied by Mrs Taylor, Mr Williams and Mrs Frestel. First we headed to Lyneham’s Piggery after the essential stop at Half Way House for breakfast. We herded full grown pigs, handled piglets and learnt about the maintenance required to run a biosecure business. Dryandra Lions Village was the next stop where we spent the night and sought refuge from the freezing temperatures of Dryandra. We quickly collected data from woodland and agricultural sites, and then headed back to camp to watch a presentation about conservation by Matt Harding from the Department of Environment and Conservation. During this presentation, Amy and

We visited Barna Mia for a close encounter with native Australian marsupials during feeding time. Following this amazing experience we headed to the bus with red, runny noses from the cold and huddled together to keep warm during the trip back to camp. Later that night, after a delicious dinner prepared by the whole group, we went to the laboratory to examine our soil samples and then treated ourselves to Tim Tams, hot chocolate and marshmallows by the fire. The early hours of the morning were spent checking our animal traps. We caught four possums in total, some feistier than others. The rest of the day was spent examining flora and fauna on the Ochre Trail, before heading home to slightly warmer temperatures and civilisation!

Year 11 Biology Camp On 13 August, 22 budding young biologists set out to Point Peron campsite where we observed and recorded the flora and fauna in
three different environments. Soon after arriving at camp, we walked down to the beach to study the steep sand dunes. Here, we identified and recorded many sea plants along transects of the soft sand slopes. That afternoon, we went to another bay where we were released onto the littoral zone of the reef to collect various organisms, equipped with only reef shoes and some kitchen rubber gloves. We found some amazing organisms and then analysed them. Aside from a ‘near’ incident with a live octopus and a few feisty crabs – we all made it off the reef in one piece! That night we wrote up our journals and watched an episode of Man vs. Wild. The next morning we went to a nearby salt lake, where we searched for land organisms and followed our transect lines to identify the surrounding vegetation. Spending long days in the sun with native Australian plants and animals, was both fun and educational. The camp would not have been such a success without the help and guidance of Mrs Taylor and Mr Williams.

Year 9 Dwellingup Camp On Sunday, 28 March about 7.30am, four groups of Year 9 students gathered in the Junior School car park and waited for the buses to arrive. Mountains of gear lined the footpath and the air buzzed with excitement, anxiety and expectation, as we gathered together our friends who would help us make it through the challenges ahead. Two hours later we arrived at our sites. Canoeing was the first activity, but unfortunately for my camp group, the rapids were too high and we had to walk our canoes and all our bags through the bush until we could re-enter the water. A day of abseiling and wall climbing followed, before heading off to bush art and cooking activities. With full stomachs, we enjoyed our final night of showers before experiencing the pleasures of camping on a forest floor. We were awoken early and
Year 9 Collie Camp was the best! There was never a dull or boring moment. White water rafting was great fun, sometimes treacherous, and also hilarious! Capsizing over the rapids, landing flat on our backs in the water, and the look on people’s faces as they jumped into the cold water during the capsize test, all brought many laughs.

Georgia had the lovely task of mixing peanut butter, rolled oats and sardines with their hands to make bait for the mammal traps. Matt then demonstrated how to set up four traps each, which would be checked in the early hours of the morning.
Bike riding resulted in far too many flat tyres, but luckily not too many scratches. After learning to cook our own dinner (and grudgingly eating it whether it was tasty or not), we retired to bed. After a tiring but enjoyable week in the outdoors. we finally headed back to ASC, happily welcoming the arrival of the school holidays.
The group leaders were funny and knew how to engage everyone in fun activities. For any students attending the Collie Camp next year, I am sure you will have a brilliant time and return with memories to last a lifetime.
The team games were fun and engaging, and most importantly, everyone worked together. It was interesting to watch the various groups try to solve challenging problems. The one thing that comes to mind after the 12 kilometre hike along the Bibbulmun Track is the massive hill at the end, and the sounds of everyone groaning. However, the hike was rewarding, and looking back, I am glad we accomplished it.

Canoeing was certainly a learning experience because a few of us could not quite get a grasp on paddling in time with each other. When we beat the other team during the raft race, our team had a rush of jubilation. We worked well together constructing the raft and it showed in our victory.

Filling the first camp, Mornington, the keen campers of Forrest, Durack and Murdoch Houses were full of spirit and eagerness. After hurriedly finding the best bunk for ourselves, we were briefed on the experiences we would have during camp. Raft building was both challenging and amusing. Night activities included a karate master class with a professional instructor, plus engaging games that tested our team skills. The

first day of our off-campus experience was full of many surprises, both pleasant and surprising.
The group that stayed behind on clean-up duties later enjoyed a quiz night.
Racing through a replenishing breakfast, we headed off on our day two activities. The exhilarating and exhausting high ropes course was a fantastic team activity, while abseiling saw a few people overcome their fear of heights. We discovered that group work was all about communication, encouragement and team spirit! At night, the Mornington camp wound down with a relaxing movie session, before heading back to the dorms to get some welldeserved sleep.
The Wardan Aboriginal Cultural Centre gave us an amazing range of knowledge about Mother Nature and its patterns. We learnt about the healing properties of plants, Aboriginal culture, customs and hunting skills in a guided tour of the bushland. This was followed by a Bush Tucker Tour. Everyone received a paddle and life jacket before canoeing down the river. Our guide led us into a small bay with lots of interesting history. We paddled ashore and were shown a variety of aboriginal foods - some were sour and some were sweet, but the look on the students’ faces who tasted it said it all. Then came the witchetty grub! Only a few students dared try it, and most of them could not swallow.
The third day concluded our Camp Mornington adventure. We were sad to leave the wonderful camp instructors, our newfound friends, who guided us through each of the exciting activities. However, we knew there was another thrilling journey ahead of us. After a long bus ride from Mornington, we arrived in Busselton. The sea air was refreshing from the moment we jumped off the bus. We hauled our bags over the sand to find Mr Kealley waiting for us. He gave us a visual map of the campsite and laid down a couple of camp rules. We settled into the dorms before changing into our bathers for a short walk down to the beach and a swim. Back at the campsite we enjoyed an hour of free time where we either talked in groups or played cricket. Soon dinner time came followed by night caving.
The final day arrived and we were welcomed home by smiling parents, as we shared our camp stories all the way home.

Year 7 Team Building Camp During Term 1, the Year 7 classes went on an overnight camp to Manjedal Scout Camp. This enabled us to make new friends and build team skills within each class. The two days were an action-packed adventure and we were all pleading for a rest by the end of the camp! The bus trip and team-building games filled the morning, and in the afternoon we made a splash during refreshing canoeing and raft building activities. We turned on the gas stoves that evening and attempted to cook a half decent meal that our peers could enjoy. The next day involved squeezing through tunnels, flying through skies, and drawing the archery bows back to try our luck at hitting the target.
The camp involved many heartracing activities, some that made us think, and others that required us to work as a team. There were many physically challenging activities, such as the superman swing and wobbling up high to complete the high ropes course. There were activities that frustrated us, like going the extra yard in the amazing race and stretching our limits in ultimate frisbee. Many activities made us laugh, including strutting our stuff in the newspaper fashion show, having fun building and falling off our rafts, bowling with our friends, and reaching new heights on the abseiling and rock climbing walls. All too soon it was over. We were definitely exhausted, but we returned home with some amazing, funny and embarrassing memories that we will keep for the rest of our lives.

After packing our bags and loading them onto the bus, we then cruised back to school to meet our parents. Overall, it was an extremely worthwhile experience to make new friends and enjoy the trusting and relaxed environment at camp.

The campsite and dorms were comfortable and all of the activities were easily accessible, which meant no long bus rides. The food was delicious (probably because we cooked most of it ourselves!). Everyone had a lot of fun and we were all exhausted the next day. When we arrived back at ASC we all knew each other better and felt like a team.
Adventure was all the Year 7s could think about as they entered Fairbridge campsite in Term 1, and what amazing activities the teachers had in store for us during those four days. Our courage was tried, and teamwork was put to the test. Fears were overcome, and friendships strengthened.

The aim of the camp was to teach everyone how to work as a team and provide an opportunity to get to know each other. We had to trust our peers and collaborate in all the activities such as team building games, rafting, canoeing, archery, flying fox, tunnelling, cooking and night walking. Canoeing and flying fox seemed to be the highlights for most people.

After a few years of working towards finishing on top of ‘C’ Division, the All Saints’ College Interschool Athletics Team achieved their goal in 2010. A stunning team performance on Wednesday, 22 September saw All Saints’ College finish 46 points ahead of their nearest competitor to win the 2010 ‘C’ Division ACC Athletics Carnival. The impressive win was a whole team contribution with no All Saints’ competitors missing their event on the day. The College picked up four more trophies in addition to the overall winner’s trophy which were:
• Morgan Ward – Open Javelin (58.42m) • Peter Delaney – u/13 Discus (25.48m) • Caitlin Strange – u/13 800m (2:45.59)
• u/13 Girls’ Champion • Junior Girls’ Champion • Senior Girls’ Champion • Overall Girls’ Champion
• Harrison Long (u/15 Male Third place)
We had some fantastic individual performances on the day. Congratulations to the following three students who broke records at the Carnival:
Many students also finished in the top four of their age group for individual points accumulated on the day. These students were: • Peter Delaney (u/13 Male Runner-up) • Emma Calder (u/13 Female Champion) • Emily Cowden (u/13 Female Third place) • Theodore Kenworthy-Groen (u/14 Male Fourth place)
Without your support, this amazing result would not have been possible. Congratulations must also go to the 2010 Athletics Captains: Athina Mallis, Anna Hitomi, Mitch Leahy and Calum Grimwood, who did a great job preparing for the Carnival and on the day. All students involved in the team should be extremely proud of their efforts and we look forward to the continuation of these positive results in the future.

Drama Production
Drama Production: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest This year’s All Saints’ College Production was Dale Wasserman’s highly esteemed play One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Ken Kesey.
Columba 2010
This is not an easy play to watch. As the play opened to the haunting tune of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, the stark and austere white set revealed life in a mental hospital. The play revolves around the impact of the admission of a new patient, Randle McMurphy, who pretends to be insane in order to escape a prison sentence. McMurphy’s character is pivotal to our understanding of the play. His restless energy quickly draws the audience into the daily routine of the patients, and holds up a mirror to the grimness of their everyday existence. In contrast to the humour that McMurphy brings to the play, is the oppressive authority of sadistic head nurse, Mildred Ratchet. In her starched white uniform and scarlet cloak, Ratchet dispenses menace and evil under the guise of a person doing her job with brisk efficiency and compassion.
Page 138 — Columba 2010
As the play progresses, we realise there is no ‘cure’ for the mentally disturbed. The system exists to keep patients institutionalised and gives them no chance to regain their sanity. For McMurphy, the irony is that he has escaped one form of confinement and finds himself in a worse situation than being in prison because patients never leave the mental hospital. The dynamics between McMurphy and Ratchet cause much of the tension in the play. McMurphy is the rebel who demands that patients be allowed to watch television, and in his ultimate act of rebellion, smuggles girls onto the ward. This ends in tragedy, however, when one of the patients, Billy, is confronted and taunted by Nurse Randle over what happened and he commits suicide. The play takes a sinister twist from this point onwards, and McMurphy is lobotomised in an attempt by Nurse Randle to control his behaviour. As McMurphy struggles to fight the injustice that is dealt to him by the establishment, a powerful figure for good emerges in the character of Chief Bromden. In a moving soliloquy, the Chief tells us about his life and it is his final scene that brings the play to an emotional and dramatic ending.
It is hard for the audience not to feel disturbed by the play as it deals with issues of repression, stereotyping and fear, while also drawing on many dark and personal themes. Despite the perceived seriousness of this production, the cast was always full of energy and managed to add a comical and satirical element to many of the scenes. Another fresh twist was the addition of a second cast entitled ‘The Others’. This allowed for the introduction of some quirky characters who added a whole new layer to the performance. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this production and found the experience both challenging and character building. The production embodied the true meaning of the text, while also allowing for each student to develop their character to add a unique and real flavour to the play. From the first rehearsal to the final night, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a huge success and I thank and congratulate everyone involved.

By challenging the theme of a spacetime continuum, using the literal meaning and an abstraction of the four dance elements of body, energy, space and time, students from Years 3 to 12 were caught Dancing in the Fourth Dimension, the title of this year’s College Dance Concert. Hours of dedication went into preparations and rehearsals in the months leading up to the concert. Class and extracurricular dance choreography were developed, before and after-school rehearsals Page 140 — Columba 2010
were held, plus there was an audition process to ensure that each performance was of the highest quality. The final performances were both memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. The efforts of everyone involved must be commended, from the energetic dancers to the student choreographers and specialist teachers, including Dan Slater from the musical Chicago and Ram Mrynal Seewooruthon (The Dance Collective) who taught Bollywood style.
In particular, we thank our College Dance teachers, Miss Codalonga and Mr Pirlo, for every ounce of their support, effort and commitment to coordinate a successful Dance Concert in 2010.

The Years 7/8 Production has been part of the All Saints’ College calendar for many years. In 2010, Transition students came together to celebrate the College’s 30th anniversary and develop their confidence on stage. Thirty(ish) Plays in Thirty(ish) Minutes, one play for every year of the College’s life, is the theme of this year’s Transition Showcase. Year 10 Drama students, along with the help of Mr Roberts and Mr Gatti, directed short scenes for groups of Years 7 and 8 budding actors. The scenes focused mainly on building confidence and using projection in performance. Ms Codalonga also joined in to choreograph a Dance piece.
Rehearsals were full of laughter, debates, repeated lines, forgotten lines, drifting off topic and directors shouting “Say it louder!” Nevertheless, the scenes finally took shape. The students were proud to present their work to family and friends in the second last week of the year. There might not have been any Grammy Awards, but there were certainly big performances, and even bigger smiles.

Performing Arts Groups
This year we held two Music Camps at Swanleigh - an Instrumental and a Choral Camp. Both were successful in providing opportunities to learn new repertoire and raise the standard of performance, while also building friendships and promoting team work within the performance groups. Choral work has developed considerably in the Senior School with a boys’ choir (Blokes’ Voices), a girls’ choir (All Saints’ Harmony) and the Years 7/8 choir (College Voices). In May, all of these choirs achieved success in the Fremantle Eisteddfod. Blokes’ Voices was awarded first place, while College Voices and Saints’ Harmony each achieved second place. Instrumental and vocal soloists also achieved success in the Eisteddfod.
Page 142 — Columba 2010
The success of our various ensembles is a reflection of the dedication and quality of the Instrumental Tutors and Ensemble Directors. We are indeed fortunate to have so many outstanding musicians on our staff, and their services are much appreciated by students, parents and management. We farewelled Mr Kevin Fenner this year, the saxophone teacher at All Saints’ for 20 years. He was founder of the Jazz Saints, and developed them into one of our most outstanding ensembles. Throughout his years at the College, Kevin directed many different ensembles and also initiated the Year 5 Wind Band program. We wish him well in his retirement as he pursues his passion for composition.
All of the tutors donated their services to perform in a wonderful Tutors’ Concert in June. This event was organised by the Friends of Music, who ensured we had a good audience and a scrumptious afternoon tea. The Friends of Music provided outstanding support for the Music Department this year, and their ongoing assistance is much appreciated. With 23 Instrumental Tutors providing tuition to 210 students, and three choirs and 10 instrumental ensembles rehearsing every week, the Music Department is a hub of activity within the College. In all this activity, I acknowledge the Music Secretary, Mrs Sue Palmer, who plays a very important support and organisational role.

Two workshops were held in the first week of the year to welcome all Transition students to the Music program. These workshops included African drumming, marimba playing, and ‘chair and stick’ percussion work. In August, Paul Jarman was composer in residence for the Year 8 Music program and each class spent a full day with him.
Many successful music recitals took place in the Chapel, of which the Ensemble recital was a highlight. This year, a special recital for students in the Transition Program was also received enthusiastically. The College Music Concert showcased our most outstanding ensembles and soloists. The 2010 Concert was held at Fremantle Town Hall which provided a special ambience for the evening. The assistance of All Saints’ College Head of Performing Arts, Mr Steve Roberts, as Stage Manager, Dance Teacher Miss Narelle Codalonga, and six Drama students, ensured the performances flowed effortlessly from one item to the next.

Several staff changes took place in the Music Department at the start of 2010. Mr John Beaverstock stood down as Director of Music and we are very fortunate he now has the time to focus on accompaniment and teaching Years 11 and 12 Music. Mrs Anette Kerkovius was appointed Director of Music and oversees the Music program from Kindergarten to Year 12. Mrs Thea Kotzé is continuing as Coordinator of Strings, and the program is going from strength to strength. Mrs Jennifer Kinsella, an outstanding percussionist and teacher, was appointed to teach Years 7 and 8 classroom Music, which has proven to be a great success.

Storylines
Lit Fest 2010 – Storylines The Adult and Community Program launched Lit Fest 2010 featuring award-winning author Craig Silvey. More than 200 people joined ABC Radio Presenter James Lush, as he quizzed Craig about his writing career. Craig also spoke to students during the Festival and went on to be nominated for many literary awards for his book Jasper Jones. Later in the week, Chef Emmanuel Mollois entertained his audience as he taught them how to make the perfect choux pastry, and delighted tastebuds with samples of his wonderful pastries.
Congratulations to all winners and runners-up of the Festival Writing Competition and thank you to Girl Guides WA for sponsoring the prizes. 2011 will be the 10th anniversary of Lit Fest – Storylines and I invite everyone to join in the celebrations.
Mrs Kris Williams Literature Festival Coordinator
Players from the Western Force rugby team joined College students for some training skills on the oval, while James O’Connor who plays for the Australian Wallabies rugby team, joined a panel of well-known sports stars of different codes, to talk about the role of sportspeople in today’s society.

Once again, a talented list of presenters opened up the world of literature and stories to thousands of Festival attendees. Lit Fest 2010 saw the return of former All Saints’ College student Ellen Hickman as part of the program.
An award-winning illustrator, Ellen took time to visit College Art students and share her expertise. Indigenous storyteller Sean Choolburra was a Festival favourite with his comedic mix of traditional and modern stories about his life. SciFi, Ninjas, history and a 30-year-old hippopotamus were all part of an extremely entertaining program. We were also able to reveal the identity of the elusive H. I. Larry author of the Zac Power series. Workshops by West Australian Ballet and WA Youth Theatre were popular, as was the Ethics in Sport panel.

Retreat
Year 12 Retreat This is not a written piece on the subject of All Saints’ College Retreat 2010. This article, in fact, is on the topic of ‘Aidan’s Retreat Experience’. You see, everyone has their own interpretation of Retreat in Year 12; each is unique. For instance, there are four groups and two camp sites; Manjedal and Serpentine. I was in Group Four, Manjedal One. The first thing I discovered about Retreat, and something that all future Year 12 students will surely discover, is that groups don’t actually matter in the end. I will not tell you the activities we participated in (future Year 12 students will have to wait to discover those for themselves), but I will share some memories that were created on my Retreat.
College Collegians
Retreat is definitely something you can only describe once you have experienced it; and even as I write this I find it difficult to articulate quite what I want to say. It changed our state of mind, our perspective on the year ahead, the years past, and all that life has to offer; each in the most positive of ways.
Aidan Smith Year 12
Retreat was an absolutely amazing experience. Imagine about 35 students of your own age, some of them are already your friends, but you still haven't talked to some of the others. Nevertheless, everyone is ready to have fun for three wonderful days. For me, they were some of the best days of my life - meeting people I had not talked to before and really starting to connect with them. Everyone is open and people forget to judge others and just get on with working as a team. I loved it!

As a group, we came together and created many personal jokes, which never failed to make us laugh when we saw each other around school. We all experienced the simple joy of sitting and sharing time together in the ‘common room’ of Retreat, which was in the middle of the dorms. At every break, there would always be someone there to share a chat and a laugh. There was also an opportunity or two to remove some of the burdens we were carrying with a few tears shed. Experiences and stresses were revealed, but there was always someone nearby to offer a reassuring hug.
Our teachers became closer to us as we talked on more personal terms. Conversations did not revolve around subject work or examinations, but getting to know each other, which helped to develop friendships for the rest of the year and beyond.

Reflections
What was your favourite All Saints’ College experience? What will you miss the most? I will miss the friendships between teachers and students, as well as the support and opportunities across all aspects of the College. Louise Biggs After entering All Saints’ in Year 7, I was amazed at the inclusive and vibrant community. I would become part of this community for the next five years. Michael McPhail I will miss the teachers and students most, along with the happy and safe community that All Saints’ offers. Sarah Maisey Year 12 Retreat was my favourite experience at ASC, but it is lunchtimes that I will miss the most. Daniel Green Above all, I will miss the teachers and students who are always there to share in your happiness and sweet success, but who stick around to pick you back up when things go wrong. Nicola Rivers I have loved every moment of my eight years at All Saints’ and I will miss my fantastic year group the most. My best memories are Year 12 Retreat and special moments with my friends and teachers. Mickey Nielsen
What did Year 12 mean to you? Most of all, Year 12 meant the tightest cohort of any other year at school. It meant the end of one era of learning and the start of a new one. John Blaxill
Year 12 was a transition to life outside of school. Claudia Morgan It was a chance to develop new friendships and further my academic opportunities. Nick Mayer Year 12 was different to any other year at school. Yes, the workload increased and became more difficult, but friendships became stronger and bonds were formed that will never be broken. Shannon Beattie
Do you have any advice for the 2011 cohort of Year 12 students? Determine your future dream career and study towards it – let nothing hold you back. Daniel Costantin I think the Year 12 experience is something they will have to discover for themselves. Elizabeth Allen Work hard, but remember to have fun along the way! Ryan Falkiner Study hard and always take time to relax so that you don’t burn out. Marcus Malatesta

Maintain a balance. Don’t give up on your sporting involvements and make sure you have some downtime. Simon Acomb Capitalise on every opportunity. Aidan Smith School, including Year 12, is as fun and memorable as you make it. Tzar Leonardi
