The Dove Spring 2018 - Issue 80

THE

80 Spring Edition 2018

The dove is the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, a messenger of good news or peace. It forms an integral part of the All Saints’ College crest and represents our commitment to the spiritual and ethical development of our students. The magazine title also links in with the College’s other major publication, the Columba yearbook, Columba being Latin for dove.

THIS ISSUE

EDITOR It has been an eventful two terms at All Saints’ College since our last edition of The Dove was published earlier this year.

In the past six months, we have seen the introduction of new initiatives at the College and continued to develop our existing programs and events, many of which we are pleased to showcase in our 80th edition of the College magazine.

The diversity of our community at ASC, and how it is embraced by all, is clearly evident throughout the pages of this edition of The Dove. This can be seen in the different ways in which our students learn, the various cultures that we acknowledge and celebrate, our rich heritage, or the range of opportunities available for students and staff.

It is wonderful to witness the development and progress at the College and report these updates to our community. As always, I hope you enjoy this edition of The Dove, as it provides a glimpse into life at Ewing Avenue, and beyond.

PRINCIPAL

Welcome to 2018’s Spring edition of The Dove.

It is also the final edition of The Dove to be published within the life of our current (2014 – 2018) Strategic Plan, and thus structured under the five goals we have come to know so well.

We look forward, in the new year, to publishing the College’s new Strategic Plan which is a vision and a framework to which all our stakeholders have been invited to contribute.

When we reflect on all that has been achieved this year, in the life of the current Plan, there is much to celebrate.

Of particular note, within Goal 1’s focus on our teaching and learning program, I think of all that is happening under the umbrella of Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute. We are delighted, for instance, that so many leaders across our state and nation have accepted the invitation to become founding members of our Institute’s ‘think tank’ (the Beyond Boundaries Advisory

Group) and that the College is enjoying the benefits of many wonderful new partnerships, including our partner school in China − the Beijing Academy − and the Future Schools Alliance.

Also, as part of our ‘ATAR Plus’ approach under Goal 1, we shine a spotlight on entrepreneurial learning. A term that is often misunderstood (that is, that it is about ‘setting up a business’), entrepreneurial learning includes identifying and investigating real world problems and opportunities, creating authentic artefacts (products or services) that are of value to others, working in teams, and iterative experimentation over an extended period of time. (Lackéus 2015) The exciting work of Propeller Industries is key to this, as is our Creative Industries curriculum. We are thrilled to see, for instance, that our students’ pop-up shop, Runway, is up and running, displaying the goods and services of so many students from across the year levels and from their Creative Industries classes.

Goal 2 defines our focus on wellbeing and, in the following pages, we have many celebratory stories to share about this important area of the life of our College.

We are delighted to see, for instance, our highly-successful and popular Service Learning program evolve into Catalyst: The Centre for Service and Social Enterprise, and we are thrilled to introduce to our community our new Chaplain who commences with us in Term 4. We are proud of the recent collaboration, in Fitzroy Crossing, of our Service and Arts portfolios that resulted in a project called Voices, and we felt privileged that our Aboriginal and Islander students shared with the College community two smoking ceremonies prior to Assemblies.

our College’s borders and boundaries as we share the rich and deep learning that occurs as part of our many unique partnerships, and enjoy the strong sense of community that characterises our College.

And, as prudent stewards, we report under Goal 5 on the College’s finances and the progression of our Campus Development Plan, in collaboration with our new architectural partner, and celebrate our community’s generosity and our students’ commitment to Treading Lightly.

I hope you enjoy reading our 80th edition of The Dove!

Within Goal 3, we recognise a number of staff by way of farewells and babies, and even their embrace of our new Pilates class!

It is also with much love and sadness that we honour our long-serving colleague, Mr Daniel Kendrick, who passed away in June.

ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE’S NEW CHINESE PARTNER SCHOOL Our students and staff will have the opportunity to collaborate internationally on innovative and entrepreneurial projects with Beijing Academy (BA) following the signing of a ‘partner school agreement’ between the Chinese educational institution and All Saints’ College earlier this year.

All Saints’ Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, and Director of Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute (BBI), Ms Esther Hill, enjoyed touring BA and meeting with students and staff in April this year.

Before departing Beijing, Ms Provis officially signed a three-year agreement with BA Principal Mr Xia Qingfeng, which will provide many exciting opportunities for both schools.

In addition to the usual language and cultural exchanges for students and staff, the partnership will provide an opportunity for international collaboration on innovative and entrepreneurial projects.

THE FUTURE SCHOOLS ALLIANCE This year we were delighted to forge a new partnership with the Future Schools Alliance (FSA); a group of 14 other schools across Australia which share in the same goals as All Saints’ College and Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute (BBI).

With the aim of equipping students for times of significant change, the FSA is a network of like-minded schools with experience in the implementation of successful innovative educational practices.

The College’s BBI continues to explore and implement new and flexible learning structures and practices that recognise and are focused on the interests, abilities, passions and skills of our diverse student cohort, and assists in nurturing future-enabled young people.

We are proud to be the only West Australian school within the FSA, and look forward to its support as All Saints’ develops into a thriving, future-focused learning community.

INTERGENERATIONAL INNOVATION NETWORK SUMMIT

PROPELLER HOSTS INNOVATIVE TECH HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS Enthusiastic young innovators were upskilled in robotics, coding, 3D programming, drones and photography by participating in creative workshops at All Saints’ College during the July school holidays.

Propeller Industries, our hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, partnered with leading provider of tech education Firetech Australia to host five workshops on our campus from 2 – 4 July 2018.

Led by Firetech’s tutors, each course supported one or multiple STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) learning areas, and also encouraged design-thinking, problem-solving, communication and collaboration skills.

8

THE DOVE GOAL 1

In the Build 3D Games two-day course, students aged 11 – 17 years learnt the basics of C# programming language and how to use Unity 3D. Younger participants (8 – 11 years old) also had the opportunity to be creative in the 3D space and discover coding using Firetech’s brand new Roblox world building course.

Firetech’s Junior Robotics with Ozobots course was a hands-on introduction to robotics and programming, while Junior Drones with Lego explored engineering and aerodynamics as students built and flew their own drones.

Finally, in the Digital Photography masterclass the creative juices were flowing as students from ages 12 – 17 learnt the key functions of DSLR cameras.

Following the success of these workshops, we were delighted to host another week of Firetech sessions for children across the state during the recent October school holidays.

Early in Term 3 six enthusiastic entrepreneurs from All Saints’ in Years 9 and 11, accompanied by Mr Greg Port (Head of ICT Integration), attended the final event of the Intergenerational Innovation Network (IIN) – the Youth Innovation Summit.

Held at FLUX (Spacecubed’s HQ in Perth city), this federally-funded event was designed to connect WA youth with industry professionals and university leaders to encourage innovation and develop their entrepreneurial skills.

At the Summit we had an opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded students, mentors and professionals.

The attendees were very interested to hear the All Saints’ students speak about the College’s involvement with Spacecubed, through Propeller Industries and The Hangar, and discuss some solutions to world

problems that our younger students are working on. We were also given time to collaborate in smaller groups comprised of one or two students and around four adults to think about how we might encourage more students to be involved in starting their own businesses and building their enterprise skills as the leaders of the future.

Overall, the Summit was a unique way to experience the drive for innovation and entrepreneurial skills in a changing world, to meet other students with their own goals and business aspirations, and to work towards a common goal of encouraging the young minds of today to grow into innovative, enterprising adults of tomorrow.

It was a great opportunity and I encourage other students to apply for future IIN summits and events when they arise.

ART AND SCIENCE − WONDERMENT AND AWE WITH BISMUTH In the final week of Term 2, our Year 6 cohort teamed up with Propeller Industries and a College parent for a ‘Wonderment and Awe with Bismuth’ Workshop.

Throughout the afternoon in the Fibonacci Studio, our students learnt about the Bismuth chemical element and its crystals from Mr Chris Woodland who shared his time and talents.

Bismuth is a post-transition metal known for its relatively low melting point of around 270°C, which makes it easy to melt over high cooking heating. Fascinating geometric crystals form when melting the element and separating the pure bismuth from its impurities, which allows it to crystallise in a range of colours.

Mr Woodland received assistance from his daughter Ayla, and Sarah Birney (Year 10),

who helped melt the Bismuth and keep it at liquid state so that he could demonstrate the surface cooling and crystal formation to the Year 6s.

This Propeller workshop tied into our Year 6 Religion and Philosophy classes, where they had made clay tiles about the parable of a man who finds the kingdom of heaven.

The Bismuth was poured into each student’s tile to represent the treasure hidden in the field, and they will be displayed at the College’s annual Art, Media, Design and Technologies’ Exhibition in October this year.

Our students were engaged in this experience and learnt how elements, crystal growth, experimentation and art can all be linked together.

Ms Laura Strentz Head of Propeller Industries

Our Students ’ Thoughts “The Bismuth was beautiful. It was so interesting to see how the crystals are formed.” Royce “I liked the colours and the crystals that the Bismuth formed.” David “It was interesting that it went from a liquid to a solid so quickly and how it crystallis ed.” Amber

YEAR 10s LAUNCH ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESSES WITH $20

’ N O T H IG TL O P ‘S r u e n e r p e tr En All Saints’ College aims to foster an entrepreneurial mindset within our students by encouraging them to pursue their individual interests, abilities, passions and skills.

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your business?

To support this culture of innovation, the College is pleased to highlight creative and ambitious students within our community who are the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Six47 Creative Services is a bespoke event design and furniture making company offering a range of services from digital graphics to custom made furniture for purchase. I have made invitations and supplied all the furniture for a variety of events and businesses.

In this edition of The Dove we are putting the spotlight on Functions Captain and Year 12 student Noah Tomich, who has always had a passion for events and making things, so he founded six47 Creative Services – a bespoke event design and furniture making company.

We spoke with Noah about how he started his business, his long-term goal and who has supported him along the way.

10

THE DOVE GOAL 1

My business is called six47 Creative Services. The name is based on my grandad’s passenger number when he immigrated to Australia from Croatia.

The numbers have other significant and personal meanings.

The business started with me making things. My mum and I had a food catering business, and that inspired me to find a better way to display and share our goods.

I am self-taught and influenced by my grandad. The first time I made something for an event was pallet walls with a rustic look that can be used as dividers and

screens, for a family function in 2016.

After that single event, someone was having a wedding down south, and from there it has all been word of mouth.

2. What advice would you give to another student who has an entrepreneurial idea and wants to start their own business?

My best advice would be to find a mentor, as I have had and still have quite a few.

My first mentors were my mum and dad, and then I interned with a company which offered a lot of support. At my Bunnings job I was introduced to Pete who is a general handyman and past business owner, and he has really encouraged me through this journey and kept me going no matter what problem I faced. All my mentors have offered support and advice in a range of skills and expertise. Also, completing my Certificate IV in Business as part of the General pathway (see page 16) at All Saints’ provides a lot of support and more mentors.

3. Because your business ranges from digital to furniture, where do you find new designs?

I look at Pinterest to share ideas and for inspiration. Also, when I attend events I look around to see what is present and what is needed or would add to the function.

4. What is the best way for people to learn more about six47?

I mainly promote my business through social media. Follow me @six47Perth on Instagram or email hello.six47@gmail.com if you would like to learn more about my products and services. I welcome the ASC community to contact me to see how six47 Creative Services can help with family, corporate or other events.

5. What is your long-term goal?

I would aim to be self-employed and to grow six47 or create new businesses.

After the successful implementation of the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) $20 Boss program at the College last year, we were pleased to provide the opportunity again in 2018 for our entire Year 10 cohort to launch their own entrepreneurial ventures.

This year’s $20 Boss program was launched by the founder and leader of FYA, Jan Owen, during her visit to the campus in Term 2 as part of the College’s Djaaliny Community Learning Program (see page 52).

Our Year 10 students were provided with $20.00 of start-up capital to create their own entrepreneurial and innovative businesses as part of their Creative Industries curriculum. Each week the students (mostly in teams) worked on designing and prototyping a range of products, utilising the FYA’s curriculum online modules on the

Lean Canvas business plan: Design Thinking, Marketing Strategies, and Budgeting and Financials.

As well as the creative enterprises featured here, our students developed other businesses, such as designer dog collars, translation services, jewellery and juggling lessons.

Many of these products (and more) developed by our enterprising students are available for sale through Propeller Industries’ Runway Pop-up Shop, located in the foyer of our Centre for Performing Arts for the remainder of this year. The shop will be run by a group of Year 10 students on Wednesdays and Fridays (8.00am – 8.50am and 3.30pm – 4.30pm). During other days, visitors are able to purchase items by taking them to the counter at Wanju Café.

Other students keen to sell their items in Runway are encouraged to email Ms Laura Strentz (Head of Propeller Industries): laura. strentz@allsaints.wa.edu.au

SEE, THINK, WONDER Two years ago, All Saints’ College implemented the Cultures of Thinking (CoT) framework of teaching and learning into our classrooms from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

Developed by Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero, a CoT learning environment focuses on thinking, learning, understanding and collaboration. It empowers students to delve more deeply into their learning and not only to focus on improving test scores, but also to understand and question what is being presented, thereby making their thinking valued and visible.

12

As part of this inquiry, the students explored different plants in nature and learned about the parts of a plant in Term 3. Through a digital microscope they examined the structure of leaves and discussed what the ‘funny looking lines’ could be, with the most common theories being a caterpillar trail and leaf bones.

“As they were still unsure, we conducted research through books, the internet, provocations and looked closely at other leaves, and quickly discovered that leaves have veins (not bones). This started a new conversation about why, and the Pre-Primary students discovered that veins transport food and water to the leaf and the rest of the plant,” said Miss Nadia Dalecki (Pre-Primary D teacher).

In Pre-Primary D, the students are encouraged to continually observe, think and wonder in the classroom and at home. They are invited to bring interesting objects or questions into class, place them on a ‘Wonder Wall’, and then brainstorm in groups.

“We continued to investigate the different parts of plants and one child began to wonder about seeds, writing on our Wonder Wall, ‘I wonder if you can grow a Mandarin tree from a Mandarin seed.’,” added Miss Dalecki.

This curiosity often leads to investigations, and throughout this year the class explored ‘Living Things’, which links to all areas of the Australian Curriculum, particularly Science.

This student’s question led the class to develop theories and research how to grow a Mandarin tree from a seed, and discovered that it is possible by following

THE DOVE GOAL 1

several steps. So together they cut open and removed the seeds from various fruit and vegetables, then germinated and planted them in soil.

Over the rest of the term the students nurtured their seeds, making sure they had enough sunlight and water. As they watched their ‘Living Things’ grow they decided to replant them in garden beds with more space and enlisted the help of College gardener Mr Stephen Worley.

With many pumpkin seedlings left over after the replanting, the Pre-Primary students chose to sell them as they wanted to “give the money to people who don’t have any money or food.” They sold the seedlings at a Garden Open Day in the last week of Term 3, where family members, College staff and other Junior School students were invited to share and celebrate Pre-Primary D’s inquiry journey.

In Term 4, the students will be going on an excursion to the shops to buy personal hygiene products with the money they raised at the Garden Open Day. These products will then be used to make Blessing Bags for local homeless people.

“It was wonderful to see how passionate and engaged the children were in the many ‘Living Things’ inquiries throughout the year. The children were encouraged to investigate, construct theories, research, discuss and respectfully challenge others’ theories. We were also able to develop quality discussions using the Cultures of Thinking routines, such as See, Think, Wonder,” said Miss Dalecki.

“I am constantly provoking, nurturing and developing the children’s natural curiosities and desire to explore. It is important to provide a rich learning environment that stimulates the children’s wonders and experiences of the world. I found it heartening watching them interact with their peers and investigate in the classroom throughout this inquiry. They have changed the way they interact with each other and how they question everything in the world around them,” she added.

“I liked the Garden Open Day because I got to show my mum around. We bought a seedling and my mum already knew a tomato was a fruit.

NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK A Magic of Chemistry Show, Mysteries of the Mind Session, and Buzzer Quiz were some of the exciting activities that took place at All Saints’ College during Week 5 of Term 3 in celebration of National Science Week.

Held from 11 – 19 August 2018, this week encourages Australians to celebrate Science and Technology by participating in events, exhibitions and workshops across the country. It also provides an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of Australian scientists to the world of knowledge.

The theme of 2018 National Science Week was ‘Game Changers and Change Makers’, focusing on the scientists, engineers, technologists, mathematicians, designers and innovators of the past and present who have made (and are continuing to make) great changes to the world.

The celebrations kicked off at the College on Monday, 13 August with our Years 3 and 4 students in their Houses going head to head against one another to test their Science general knowledge in a Buzzer

Quiz. Well done to Durack House for taking home the winning prize!

Our Junior School staff also enjoyed participating in a Science Quiz during their annual Brain Break Morning Tea. This year’s competition was slightly different, with two special quizmasters, Hazel Miller (Year 6) and Jing Quan Chong (Year 5), asking the staff some questions from topics of interest they had been learning in Science.

In the Senior School, Science teachers Mr Adam Goor, Ms Angela Schoen and Mr John Warwick showcased the ‘Magic of Chemistry’ with a demonstration of various experiments on The Common, and Dr David Wauge discussed the ‘Mysteries of the Mind’ with a group of interested students during Friday lunchtime.

“This year’s National Science Week celebrations allowed our students and staff to connect over Science and Technology.

It was a wonderful week, filled with many exciting activities and events that were embraced by our community. We look forward to hosting another engaging week at All Saints’ next year,” said Head of Science Mr Jim Shackleton.

CELEBRATING OUR CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING The Senior School Languages Week is an annual event in the College calendar which highlights the cultural diversity within our community and the immense benefits of language learning at All Saints’.

Over the course of a week in early Term 3, students and staff had the opportunity to participate in cultural activities, quizzes and academic assessments, watch a cultural dance show, vote for the best poster design in the Senior School Library,

and sample cuisines from France, China, Italy and Japan at the College Canteen.

As always, the crêpe making and flipping, flag face painting and games of pétanque (a form of the sport, boules) were activities that our students thoroughly enjoyed.

Another highlight was the cultural dance show on The Common featuring Chinese, Japanese and Afro dance performances.

During the week our French students in Years 10 − 12 participated in the Alliance Française examinations for their year, and staff enjoyed making delicious crêpes in the Senior School for morning tea.

An addition to Languages Week this year was incursions for Years 7 and 8 run by our Language teachers, which included three workshops. The first workshop saw students engage in DIY Craft where they made origami, wrote Chinese calligraphy, made Italian masks and produced French cards.

They also learnt how to make crêpes and participated in a Quiz and Historical 3D Walk using Virtual Reality headsets.

Another new inclusion was the Senior School Tutor Group project to create an abstract artwork for the College grounds, which promotes and represents the many

cultures that form part of the fabric of our community.

Throughout the term each Tutor Group had an opportunity to visit the Art Room courtyard where the students were able to paint the flag colours representing their various cultures onto sticks. Once they are completed, all the sticks will be combined

by Design and Technologies teacher Mr Dean Haddow and a group of his students, who will also help to create a plaque.

GENERAL PATHWAY LEADS TO A RANGE OF FUTURES All Saints’ College recognises there is more than one pathway to tertiary education and a range of futures, and supports all our students in their educational journeys.

Increasingly a number of our Years 11 and 12 students are undertaking a completely General pathway (also known as Vocational Education and Training (VET)) or a combined General/ATAR course.

All General pathway students must complete a minimum of a Certificate II at a State or private training organisation, online, or as part of a Schoolbased Traineeship, to meet the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) requirements.

In addition to supporting a number of our General pathway students who are completing their Certificates off-campus or online, the College is also pleased to offer seven on-campus Certificate courses which are run by our teaching staff.

We understand how valuable workplace learning can be for those who are undertaking a completely General pathway, so at All Saints’ these students are required to participate in Authority Developed Workplace Learning (ADWPL) in Years 11 and 12.

Some of our General pathway students were delighted to share their educational stories with our community in this edition of The Dove.

NOAH TOMICH (Year 12) Not only has Year 12 student Noah Tomich already started his own company (see page 10), he is also completing a Certificate IV in Business which complements the Certificate III in Event Management he finished last year.

The certificate that Noah is completing online in 2018 includes all aspects of running a business, from how to write complex documents through to promotion, and how to sell products and services.

“I chose the General pathway because I had a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve in life,” said Noah.

Noah studies Materials Design and Technology (General), Design (Photography) (General), Mathematics Essentials (General) and English (General) at All Saints’, as well as fulfilling his ADWPL requirement every Friday at an event management company.

At his on-the-job training, Noah receives hands-on experience working on community events, with a focus on social change. He has played the role of Volunteer Coordinator with the company, which required him to organise social media campaigns, recruitment and people management at various events “Hopefully my workplace will be able to offer me a permanent job in event management once I graduate at the end of the year!”

In her final year at All Saints’ , Emily is completing a Certificate III in Animal Studies online and enjoys onthe-job training (ADWPL) eve ry Friday at a Dog Day Care centre in O’Connor.

From a young age, Emily had a fascination with and care for animals, and when she entered high school she wanted to learn more abo ut them, so she selected the General pathway at the Co llege.

“I knew it would benefit my futu re and help me gain more experience in the industr y, compared to doing ATAR,” said Emily.

In addition to completing her Certificate online, Emily studies English (General), Inte grated Science (General), Visual Arts (General), Mathem atics Essentials (General) and Design (Photography) (Ge neral) at the College.

“All Saints’ has supported me throughout my General pathway, with the teachers enc ouraging me to keep up with my studies and making sure I’m on track with everything I’m doing,” she said .

Emily has completed ADWPL at several places throughout her General course, which has given her an insight into the animal ind ustry.

This hands-on experience and completing a Certificate have benefitted Emily immens ely and given her a head start for her future. After leaving All Saints’, she hopes to take a gap year and then study towards a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nu rsing.

EXHIBITIONS OF STUDENT INQUIRIES Each year our Years 4 – 6 classes host exhibitions at the College to showcase their inquiry-based projects and deep learning to the community.

These annual exhibitions are the culmination of extensive inquiries held over a term, where our students are encouraged to ask questions, analyse, research, communicate their understandings, collaborate and share with others, and reflect on the process.

A History Inquiry began in Year 4 after our students were captivated by the range of artefacts at the WA Shipwrecks Museum. They returned to the College from the excursion full of questions and set about investigating a range of explorers to solve their inquiries. They were also fortunate to enjoy an incursion from renowned local author and historian, Mike Lefroy.

THE DOVE GOAL 1

The Year 4s shared their newfound knowledge through a written report, shoebox museum, and various artefacts which they created by hand to represent their chosen explorer’s life. Ms Brette Lockyer (Junior School ICT Literacy teacher) also helped them develop their digital technology skills by coding a project to show the travels of explorer, Dirk Hartog.

On the evening of the Year 4 History Exhibition in Term 2, the students were dressed as great explorers from the 18th century to perform a musical item and explain their projects to the special guests.

The following term our Year 5s invited their families and College staff to an exhibition to share in their learning inquiry of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change.

Our Year 5s journeyed through a process of deep inquiry in order to understand the

goals. They talked about how the issues connect to their local context, the wider community and beyond; considered different perspectives and shared evidence to explain their thinking.

The students displayed social entrepreneurship as they confidently shared their visions for a better world within the College community at the Year 5 Exhibition on Tuesday, 14 August.

“The messages they presented spread beyond the classroom, including a call for action on waste reduction in the College.

Our Student Leaders are excited to continue recycling and encouraging others to bring waste-free lunches, and building on these practices in the future,” said Ms Penelope Crane (Dean of Junior School).

The Year 6 Exhibition revolved around three rotations; focusing on different curriculum areas and the various inquiry projects our students were engaged in throughout Term 3.

At the first rotation in the Fibonacci Room, the students’ knowledge of bacteria, bismuth, and physical and chemical changes were on display. During the second rotation, students took it in turns to discuss the etymology of words, family migration stories, significant scientists, and Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) inquiry questions, research, and answers.

Outside the classrooms were the students’ migration survival kits and creative advertisement videos, which showed the benefits of an alternative cleaning product they had developed using their Science skills and design thinking.

“Before moving on to the next rotation, we sold our cleaning products to our family members using the power of persuasion.

Our final rotation on the top level of the building was where we showcased our drama performances on migration, followed by a game showing our family’s cultural origins,” said Tunmise Aniyi (Year 6).

MARVELLOUS MUD PLAY IN KINDY Engaging young children in mud play is not only an exciting and messy activity; it also provides the ultimate sensory experience, which facilitates open-ended play, collaboration and learning.

There is considerable evidence that playing in mud can stimulate creativity and imagination, increase brain and physical activity, develop sensory awareness, and build a connection with nature.

For these reasons, and to celebrate the final day of Term 2, our Kindergarten staff planned a messy and enjoyable mud play morning for our young students.

This activity was also organised around International Mud Day, held on the following Friday during the school holidays, which provided another opportunity for our students to learn about how playing in nature with mud can connect different cultures.

and were therefore unable to play in the mud. Conversely, students at a school in Perth had plenty of clothes but not a great deal of mud, due to the dry climate.

This activity linked the two cultures as the Perth school sent play clothes to the orphanage, so that the children could enjoy playing in the mud.

This was the beginning of International Mud Day which is now recognised annually throughout the world in many ways with one goal in mind: to get dirty and have a lot of fun in the process!

Our Kindergarten students explored mud with all their senses on Friday, 22 June by sliding down the slippery mud slide, creating clay and nature items, making mud pies, painting with mud, and so much more.

The smiles, laughter and engagement throughout the morning highlighted that this mud play morning was a fun and rewarding educational experience for our Kindergarten students at All Saints’ College.

International Mud Day was established in 2009 because children in a Nepalese orphanage had limited access to clothes

MANDARIN LEARNING AT THE PANDAS’ PICNIC

YEAR 2s TAKE LEARNING OUTDOORS FOR BUSH ADVENTURE DAY

A group of Year 5s from All Saints’ College enjoyed practising their Mandarin language skills and learning more about Chinese culture when they attended their first Pandas’ Picnic excursion with students from schools across the state.

Later in the day the students engaged in some cultural games and activities, which included creating paper pandas, playing a chopsticks game, making their own jiànzi (shuttlecocks), using Chinese software on iPads, and watching an entertaining Kungfu performance.

In the College’s Early Childhood Centre, we are continually looking for ways to engage our youngest students in Outdoor Learning and play in the natural environment, as research shows learning beyond the classroom has immense benefits.

At the conclusion of the day our All Saints’ students left the 2018 Pandas’ Picnic with new friends and, most importantly, a greater understanding of the Chinese culture and more confidence in their verbal and written Mandarin skills.

Developing motor skills, inter- and intrapersonal skills, resilience, positive relationships, confidence and independence, as well as sustainability habits for the future, are some of the advantages of regular engagement with the outdoors.

The College hopes to offer similar opportunities for our students in Kindergarten to Year 7, to enhance their classroom learning of Mandarin and support our ongoing goal of languages thriving at All Saints’.

In addition to the College’s weekly PrePrimary and Year 1 Bush School program in Terms 2 and 3, our Year 2 classes recently enjoyed a Bush Adventure Day excursion where they explored the local Bull Creek wetlands environment adjacent to our oval.

This annual excursion is run by the Chinese Language Teachers’ Association of Western Australia to support Junior School students learning Chinese as a second language.

With the successful launch of our Mandarin Languages program at the College earlier this year, we were pleased to be one of 12 schools at the 2018 Pandas’ Picnic held at the South Perth Community Hall on Tuesday, 12 June.

Twenty-nine Year 5s from the College enjoyed a fun-filled educational day which began with ‘Icebreaker’ and ‘New Friends Profile’ activities, where students introduced

themselves and interviewed two new friends from different schools; speaking and writing only in Mandarin.

Organised by Outdoor Learning teacher Ms Katrina Harris, this day was carefully programmed with a mix of activities selected to support the Australian Curriculum, limit the impact on the environment, and create a positive experience for all involved with the natural world.

The wet weather didn’t dampen the excitement as our students and staff began the first of three rotations which included a mix of unstructured learning, plus high and slow (reflective) movement activities.

With observational equipment, the Year 2s used the environment as a natural laboratory and discovered unknown plants and creatures during the Science activity.

In the Art Sculpture area, the students used a mixture of air dry clay and natural materials to create a crazy critter sculpture, which they later used as inspiration for a creative writing task back in the classroom.

The Mindfulness Walk allowed them to

learn about the local Bull Creek area and observe the environment, discuss the seasons and collect objects of interest for the Closing Ceremony.

At the end of the day the students enjoyed creating a collective ‘Bush Mobile’ Sculpture with reflections about their first Bush Adventure Day, which now hangs in their classrooms. Some of the comments included: it was exciting; best muddy day in the world; adventurous; amazing; best day ever and we saw a frog!

This new Outdoor Learning initiative was a positive success, and Ms Harris hopes it will continue at the College in the future.

“The Year 2 students were completely involved and excited throughout the day, and thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the natural space,” reflected Ms Harris.

“The natural environment and bushlands close to the College are an asset, and there is potential to extend this program.”

EDUCATIONAL TOURS AND EXCHANGES EXPAND STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE Each year All Saints’ College offers a comprehensive program of interstate and overseas educational tours and exchanges for our students to support their learning and broaden their skills and experience in a range of areas.

During the April and July school holidays, many of our students and staff were fortunate to take part in the College’s Arts Tour, the French Language Exchange program and the Year 6 Canberra Tour.

From 11 to 26 April (Arts Tour), ‘The Big Apple’ was home to 22 of our students in Years 10 to 12 and three All Saints’ staff, Miss Narelle Codalonga, Mr Geoff Glencross and Miss Jacqui Shaw.

This immersive experience in New York was specifically designed for students with a passion for film, dance and drama, and included educational workshops with leading companies and experts, Broadway shows, and cultural and tourist activities.

Fynn Gardner and Amy Johnson (Year 10) attended the Arts Tour and reflected on their experience: “We all gained so much knowledge and many valuable skills from working with Arts experts. It was a trip of a lifetime which we will never forget, with so many cherished memories!”

At the same time (approximately 6 000km away from New York), 12 students in Years 10 and 11 who study French at the College were enjoying a rewarding language exchange program. The group departed Perth for Nice, France on Sunday, 8 April, and for the first two weeks of the trip they attended classes with their host brothers and sisters.

Accompanied by College teachers Mrs Pamela Chu Yu Chee and Mr Peter Langford-Smith, the 2018 French Exchange group also travelled to Paris to visit the city’s most iconic landmarks during the three-week exchange.

experiencing more of the French culture,” said Year 10 student, Ellen Smith.

“The French Exchange enabled all of us to truly immerse in a very different way of life – an unforgettable experience which saw us forge strong friendships both with our host siblings and with each other,” reflected Ellen.

More recently, and a bit closer to home, 36 Year 6 students travelled to our nation’s capital during the July school holidays for a six-day trip filled with many historical and cultural experiences.

From 4 – 9 July our students and five College staff visited various interesting attractions in Canberra, including Parliament House, the Australian Institute of Sport, Cockington Green Gardens, Questacon, and the National Gallery.

They also enjoyed a day of tobogganing on the Perisher snowfields.

ASX SHAREMARKET GAME

24

While our Years 10 to 12 students have been learning about economics and investing, they have had the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice by participating in the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Schools Sharemarket Game.

At the conclusion of Game 1, four College teams ranked inside the top 100 in the state. Impressively, the Year 11 Economics ‘Caring is Sharing’ group (pictured above) finished third overall in WA and 25th in Australia (with a portfolio value of $57 275.22).

This is an outstanding achievement, given the number of syndicates playing the game and that the share market during this time was volatile.

This year 75 students from our Year 10 Humanities and Years 11 and 12 Economics classes competed against 18 771 syndicates from schools around the nation, in a bid to accrue the largest capital gain from an initial $50 000 investment in Australian shares.

The strategies of each syndicate varied from a ‘set and forget’ style (buying shares and holding them for the duration of the game) to buying and selling shares frequently or looking for shares that had previously fallen significantly in price and then buying them.

Over a 10-week period from March to May, our students developed their knowledge of the share market and learnt how to research companies as they were investing in shares from Australia’s largest 200 listed companies.

Good luck to our third-placed winners and to all College Humanities and Social Science teams who are currently competing in Game 2.

All Saints’ College has excelled in this year’s Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition with five of our Senior School students achieving 100%.

Julius Clegg (Year 8), Xiaoyu Chen (Year 8), Zoe Dallimore (Year 7) and Thomas Stone (Year 8) attained their impressive results in the Junior Division, while Rémi Hart (Year 10) competed in the Intermediate Division.

In addition to the College’s five perfect score winners, eight All Saints’ students were awarded High Distinctions in the one-hour problem-solving competition which they completed in March this year.

Head of Mathematics, Mr Phil Brockbank, congratulated the students on their results in the CAT competition and for their commitment to Mathematics.

“Students across multiple year levels have tremendously excelled in this competition, which I believe shows the depth of talent at All Saints’ College,” he said.

“With 456 schools and 19 476 students competing from across Australasia this year, it was wonderful to see our students excel in such a challenging contest,” he added.

The CAT competition is run annually by the Australian Mathematics Trust and involves a combination of multiplechoice and short answer questions.

Students who accomplished perfect scores in the 2018 CAT competition have been invited to an official presentation in November, where they will receive their certificates and enjoy a special afternoon tea.

The Golden Key Music Festival is a major cultural event which attracts young musicians from around the globe and provides them with networking opportunities and the chance to perform in America’s most prestigious venues.

“One of the most enjoyable moments for me was listening to the other artists play at Carnegie Hall. There was a great variety of songs being performed and so much talent on the stage,” said Jing Quan.

Three months later Ceicilia was in Brasov, Romania performing in the Reduta Concert Hall as part of the second edition Transylvanian International Piano Competition.

Held from 9 – 15 July, this competition aims to encourage and support the new generation of concert pianists across the

world. The performers, ranging from 7 to 28 years old, played in front of an audience and jury which selected the First, Second and Third place winners in each of the four age categories.

Performing alongside some of the world’s best young pianists, Ceicilia proved her talent and skills, placing First overall in the Junior category (7 – 11 years old) and receiving a prize of 300 Euros.

More recently in early August, Nicole participated in the Finals and then the Grand Final of the 6th Global Outstanding Chinese Artists Association (GOCAA) International Piano Competition held in Shenzhen, China.

KARATE KID COMPETES FOR AUSTRALIA Year 9 student Blake Skewes is one step closer to his dream of representing Australia in the Olympics, after he was selected to represent the country and awarded a silver medal at the 2018 Oceania Karate Championships.

Blake was one of just two fighters in his age category who represented our nation at the 19th championships, which are recognised and supported by the World Karate Federation.

In Auckland, New Zealand from 18 to 20 May 2018, Blake competed in the ‘Cadet Kumite Male 14/15 years – 52kgs’ and won a silver medal at the event – a credit to his dedication to training and commitment to the sport.

“I am honoured to have been selected to represent Australia for the first time,” said Blake.

“I know I could not have done it without the support of my parents, and the man who has always believed in me and mentored me – my Sensei, Adrian Koelewyn from Yoseikan-Ryu Karate Club in Melville,” he added.

Further congratulations to Blake who represented All Saints’ College and won Gold at the Australian Karate Federation (AKF) Schools Age and Australian Open Championship in Sydney during the April school holidays.

Blake is currently ranked number one in his age category in Australia (number 13 in the world) and is on track to represent the country at the 2019 Junior World Championships held in Spain. He was recently named the WA Children’s Kumite Champion 2017, and holds current titles for National Champion and South Pacific Champion. He has also received the ‘Sportsman of the Year’ award at his Club for each of the past four years.

All Saints’ College brothers, Jacob (Year 12) and Aidan Smith (Year 11), took on the world’s best when they were selected to represent Australia this year at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) and Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) World Championships, respectively.

Aidan was Australia’s sole representative competing against more than 150 students from over 50 countries at the 2018 MOS World Championships held in Orlando, Florida from 29 July – 1 August.

The annual championships (presented

by Certiport) tests students’ skills and knowledge of Word, Excel and PowerPoint (2013 or 2016) Microsoft Office applications.

During the four-day global competition this year, Aidan demonstrated his

expertise in Microsoft Word (2016), placing 7th overall in this category which is an outstanding achievement.

The following month, Aidan’s older brother Jacob travelled to Tsukuba, Japan after being selected as one of just four students across the country to participate in this year’s IOI from 1 – 8 September 2018.

At the Olympiad, students from over 80 countries competed individually as they tried to maximise their score by solving a set of informatics problems over two competition days. They also participated in excursions to some nearby cities where they had an opportunity to immerse themselves in the Japanese culture.

Well done to Jacob for placing 246th out of the 335 official competitors in this year’s IOI. Jacob said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and his time in Japan.

YEAR 9 ACTRESS EXCELS WITH MULTIPLE LEAD ROLES After appearing in numerous theatre, film and television productions and recently signing with an American Talent Manager, Tashie Baker (Year 9) has her sights set on a future in the entertainment world.

The 2018 All Saints’ Arts Scholarship recipient has demonstrated a talent in performing and acting from an early age, appearing in her first professional production, The Enchanted Wood, at six years old.

Since then Tashie has been cast (often in a leading role) in a number of theatre productions, including Anne of Green Gables, Aladdin, Hercules, Seussical the Musical, Scrooge, and Bollywood Extravaganza.

2018 IOI

Although many of her major stage roles have been with external theatre companies, this year Tashie had the

opportunity to perform with her peers in the College production of Little Shop of Horrors, performed over three days in June (see pages 38 and 39).

Not only is Tashie gifted on the stage, she is also talented in front of the camera and has appeared in many short and feature-length films, television commercials and music videos, as well as undertaking voice-over work. Most recently Tashie was selected as a lead in the short film Stay at Peric Range, produced by a Murdoch University student.

“This year I was also fortunate to perform in the production of Masquerade with The Midnite Youth Theatre Company which was an amazing experience as I learnt how to use circus silks, which was a first for me,” said Tashie.

Over four nights in July, talented Year 8 student Austin Matthews sang in his very first opera when he took to the stage of His Majesty’s Theatre for the West Australian Opera’s soldout season of Carmen.

As part of the Children’s Chorus, Austin sang alongside 11 other students performing as street urchins and wild bullfight spectators in the production, which was set in southern Spain in 1820.

The world-renowned opera by Georges Bizet was performed entirely in French (with English surtitles) and followed the story of a fiery femme fatale, Carmen, who lures the naive Don José away from his duties as a soldier and his beloved, Micaëla.

Austin spent a month rehearsing with the cast and crew prior to the performances on 21, 24, 26 and 28 July, and said he learnt a lot from the experience.

“It takes hard work, commitment and dedication from everyone involved to produce a professional opera like this one. It was a really eye-opening but wonderful experience performing with the talented singers in the chorus and hearing the amazing sounds everyone made when we sang together,” he said.

In the future the young singer hopes to continue performing in operas whilst completing his secondary studies at the College.

“Music can find a way to speak to everyone’s soul and people relate memories to songs. That’s why I enjoy singing and being part of these performances,” he said.

Austin also starred in the 2016 London Palladium production of The Sound of Music as one of the von Trapp children and has featured in smaller productions of Seussical Kids and Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr.

The College congratulates Tashie for striving for excellence in the Arts, and we look forward to seeing her next stage or screen performance.

Positive Student Wellbeing ETHICAL, AWARE AND EMPOWERED CITIZENS WITH THE DESIRE AND SKILLS TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE

One of the many ways in which All Saints’ College maintains a child safe environment (ASC Strategic Plan: Goal 2 Positive Student Wellbeing, Objective 2.1) is by acknowledging and celebrating the cultural diversity of our students.

Our Junior School Assembly on the final day of Term 1 focused on Aboriginal culture, with the Federal Member of Tangney, Mr Ben Morton MP, presenting the College with an Australian Aboriginal Flag to Year 11 student, Amy Doak.

Making this occasion even more special, a number of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, as well as mentors from the AIME organisation (Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience, which operates out of Notre Dame University), led a traditional smoking ceremony outside the Indoor Sports Centre.

Smoking ceremonies are an ancient custom among Aboriginal Australians in which native plants are burnt to produce smoke to ward off bad spirits, acknowledge ancestors and pay respect to the land and sea of country.

28

THE DOVE GOAL 2

All Junior School students, staff and guests at the Assembly had the opportunity to participate in this significant ceremony by walking through the smoke as they entered the building.

The College felt it was important to provide our Senior School students and staff the same experience to show respect for the Aboriginal culture, and therefore organised another smoking ceremony before the start of the first Assembly in Term 2 this year.

Our AIME mentors returned for this second smoking ceremony, and many of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students were again involved by playing music with clap sticks and didgeridoos.

These students were very excited to take part and used one of their AIME sessions to prepare for the event.

The College enjoys a partnership with AIME which runs a structured mentoring program for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, providing support in many ways throughout the year.

The smoking ceremonies were special occasions at the College, not only for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, but also for the entire community which was able to experience part of this beautiful culture.

BOND ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO SHARE LOVE AND KINDNESS THE EVOLUTION OF OUR SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAM The area of Service Learning at the College has evolved considerably over the past few years, particularly the way in which issues of ethics and justice are embedded across our curriculum, and the outreach to new partners who are facilitating so many wonderful opportunities for our students.

Some of these partnerships are beyond our campus and some are within. In relation to the latter, Service is now finding natural synergies with other portfolios that have been developed at the College in recent years: Propeller Industries, the HotHouse Company and Creative Industries, for instance.

From some of these synergies the next stage in the College’s Service program’s evolution (Service Enterprise) is emerging, as students are increasingly working creatively and innovatively to see societal problems as opportunities for innovation.

THE DOVE GOAL 2

Following Rev Tim Russell’s (former Head of Service Learning) move to the Dean of Student Wellbeing position in mid-Term 3, the College felt it was a timely opportunity to recognise the development of our Service program and change the title of this role, which will now be called Head of Catalyst: The Centre for Service and Social Enterprise.

We are also pleased to report that, following our recent recruitment process, Acting Head of Service Learning Mr Scott Corbett (pictured above) has been appointed our inaugural Head of Catalyst, commencing in 2019. Mr Corbett has taught in government and non-government schools and worked in not-for-profit organisations. He also founded a nationally recognised theatre company and was a finalist for Young West Australian of the Year in 2016.

Working with all members of our community, he will be seeking to drive social innovation and transformation, embodying All Saints’ mission and its vision to make a positive difference in the world.

All Saints’ College’s beloved Wellbeing Dog, Bond, encouraged our students to be thoughtful and generous by sharing Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) with one another, in honour of his birthday this year.

embraced by the Senior School Library which organised a craft table with many creative opportunities for students who wanted to make a RAK item to give to someone else. The Library staff also created some positive and inspirational messages which they then added to books for the students to find as a surprise when they borrowed them.

As his second birthday was held during the July school holidays, Bond invited the College community to carry out acts of kindness and good deeds during Week 2, Term 3.

The purpose of the College’s Random Acts of Kindness Week was not only to celebrate Bond’s birthday, but also to promote a positive culture of wellbeing at the College. By performing random acts of kindness to others without reward there are many benefits, including an increase in serotonin, energy and oxytocin, which can lead to better physical and emotional health. RAK can also become contagious, encouraging others to keep the kindness flowing by ‘paying it forward’.

Students and staff in the Senior School celebrated the special occasion by performing simple actions designed to show others that they care, such as writing a positive sticky note for a stranger, thanking a teacher for their help, giving something away, complimenting someone, or cooking a meal for a friend.

This new initiative was promoted in Senior School Tutor Groups, where students had an opportunity to share with their peers the RAK they had carried out during the week. It was also

As RAK Week was embraced wholeheartedly by the Senior School this year, Bond is exploring how this idea can be expanded for his birthday in 2019 so that more community members will spread love and kindness.

We are delighted to be welcoming Reverend Helen Jane Corr into our co mmunity as the College’s new Chaplain at the beginning of Term 4.

Graduating from M urdoch University with distinction, Reve rend Helen was ordained to the Diaconate and Priesthood in 1996 . Along with the wealth of experienc e obtained as a Parish Priest, she sa id her greatest privileges have been to journey alongside people as they have deepened their relati onship with God, and participating in the creation of a safe place for pe ople to find a spiritual home.

Reverend Helen wa s born in Perth and began her caree r in the field of apparel design an d manufacture where she focused her career on designing beautiful (yet practical) clothing, selling her range Australiawide, as well as in New Zealand and Singapore.

Her interests includ e long-distance walking, knitting, lea rning, entertaining, painting , residential design and furniture restoration. She is married to Arthur; they have a dog called Lucy and tw o cats.

Reverend Helen is excited to join the dynamic team at Al l Saints’ College, sharing her passion for creativity and spirituality.

While we awaited our new Chaplain’s arrival, it was wonderful to see our staff and stu dents across the Junior and Senior Sc hools embracing the opportunity to run the Chapel services throughout Term 3. Our Junior School service s were centred on a number of Jesus ’ parables from Matthew and Luke.

Senior School services also focused on Bible teachings, with a sp ecial focus on mindfulness and servi ce within the local and internation al communities.

FITZROY CROSSING SERVICE LEARNING IMMERSION EXPEDITION Our students and staff made a positive difference to the lives of others and learnt much about themselves in the process when they participated in the College’s third annual Fitzroy Crossing Service Learning Immersion expedition this year.

Starting in 2016, members of our All Saints’ community have travelled each year to Fitzroy Crossing in partnership with Teach Learn Grow (TLG) to provide oneon-one tutoring and mentoring to rural and Indigenous students to contribute to closing the education gap.

This year, we were pleased to introduce two new aspects to the College’s Fitzroy Crossing Immersion expedition.

Due to the program’s popularity amongst All Saints’ students, we were able to develop a new partnership and work alongside students from a second school, Muludja

are now working on a way to artistically represent the visual and audio recordings of this rich history and heritage.

Throughout the week at Bayulu and Muludja, 27 students and five staff from All Saints’ worked one-on-one with Indigenous students from Kindergarten to Year 6, supporting them in a range of learning areas. They also enjoyed games together on the sports field and participated in significant NAIDOC celebrations with the communities, where they sampled wild pig, bush turkey, kangaroo tail and snake.

When not in the classrooms tutoring or capturing stories of the community, the whole College group had the opportunity to participate in cultural experiences, visiting Mimbi Caves and Danggu (Geikie) Gorge, to learn more about Indigenous history.

The other new opportunity this year was our Voices program, which was developed through the College’s HotHouse Company and our ongoing relationship with the communities that exist around the Bayulu Remote Community School. This initiative saw two of our Media students, Christian Rudd (Year 12) and Max Baldock (Year 11), gathering significant stories of members from the Bayulu and Fitzroy Valley communities.

Max, Christian and some of our Arts staff

Head of Service Learning at the time, Rev Tim Russell, said the most profound part of the experience was the sense of purpose, meaning and belonging that they found in each other.

“Our friends in the Fitzroy Valley shared their culture with us while we shared our care in the classroom with them, and we all shared our lives with each other,” said Rev Russell.

“There was a sense of joy that none of us predicted or will ever forget. This sense of joy seemed to rise from nowhere as a gift to us coming from the sharing of our lives and the opening of our hearts to one another.”

SPORT MEETS SERVICE WITH INAUGURAL HARMONY CUP In a historic first this year, All Saints’ College hosted the Football Harmony Cup where students from two communities came together to celebrate the diverse cultures of Australia, whilst having fun on the sporting field.

GEN-CONNECT Launched in Term 3 this year, the College’s new Service Learning program, Gen-Connect, sees our Senior School students volunteer their time and share their IT knowledge with elderly residents from one of our partner organisations.

for some of the residents this was their first exploration into the world of smartphones, tablets or computers.

For an hour after school each Monday, residents from our two local Amana Living communities visited the College to increase their digital literacy and social connectedness.

The students used their knowledge and skills in technology to make a positive difference to the lives of others, and to make meaningful relationships with the elderly participants who in turn gained new knowledge and skills, which will change the way they connect with their family, other residents and the wider community.

Twenty-one students from Years 8 – 12 worked in pairs to provide one-to-one IT Training with a resident over the six-week program. These individual sessions allowed the participants to ask more specific questions and work on gaining new ICT knowledge and skills relevant to their personal goals.

Prior to the start of the program, our students participated in a training session with Emily from Amana Living which included some useful communications skills when working with seniors. Our students were encouraged to share their expertise but reminded that

Through Gen-Connect our student volunteers were able to foster connections with the older community members and get to know their distinct qualities and traits. It is evident that this program had immense benefits for our students and Amana Living residents.

In the final week of the program, both the College and Amana Living communities came together to share an afternoon tea at All Saints’ and celebrate this successful venture into the world of IT. We look forward to seeing how the Gen-Connect program develops next year when it takes place in Terms 1 and 3, and hope that ultimately it will expand to include some of our other Service Learning partner organisations.

For three hours our students in groups collected donations by knocking on every door in a vast area which reached from Karel Avenue to Murdoch Drive and from Leach Highway to South Street. When

In total the group of students and staff raised more than $5 000, which went towards helping The Salvation Army fund its vast network of social and community services.

On a Saturday morning towards the end of Term 2, we welcomed students from Edmund Rice Centre WA to the College to compete against our students in two Football matches – a girls’ game and a boys’ game.

Edmund Rice Centre WA was established in 1998 to provide essential settlement services and community education activities to individuals from refugee and migrant backgrounds, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Coordinated by our Physical Education teacher and Years 11/12 Coordinator, Mr Oliver Beath, the inaugural Harmony Cup took place on the College oval.

“The matches were played in a competitive, yet enjoyable atmosphere, where the emphasis was on raising awareness about the work of Edmund Rice in our community and providing an opportunity for our students to interact with young people from a different cultural background through the power of sport,” said Mr Beath.

Following the games, the two communities enjoyed a BBQ lunch and the opportunity to interact and get to know one another off the field.

“It was a highly successful day and the College’s Physical Education department is looking forward to working closely with the Edmund Rice Centre WA again in the coming years.”

JUNIOR SCHOOL ENJOYS SECOND WELLBEING DAY The Junior School’s second annual Wellbeing Day provided an opportunity for our community to step back, reflect and engage in a range of activities aimed at promoting and improving physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing and mindfulness.

Prior to the event held on Friday, 17 August 2018, our Years 3 – 6 students were able to select which reflective and active wellbeing activities they wanted to participate in during the day. These ranged from yoga, art and craft, photography and Lego to wheels play, bushwalking, indoor sports and dance.

Students in Kindergarten – Year 2 also enjoyed a range of activities in their classes throughout Wellbeing Day, including a bushwalk near the boundary fence of our College oval, wheels play on bikes and scooters, and dance.

This year we were delighted to have the local Junkadelic Brass Band perform for our students in the Centre for Performing Arts. This lively group infuses music with sustainability through their reimagining of unused materials, which delivered a strong message of environmental wellbeing to our students.

Additionally, we were delighted to include Tai Chi sessions to the 2018 Wellbeing Day. Run by the Confucius Institute, Tai Chi is an ancient form of Chinese exercise which embraces the mind, body and spirit. This was a popular activity amongst students and a wonderful inclusion to the program options this year.

After a fulfilling and exciting day, the students gathered back in their classrooms to reflect on the meaning and importance of wellbeing and mindfulness, and to discuss what they enjoyed most about the Junior School’s second Wellbeing Day.

WORKSHOP INSPIRES STUDENTS TO DEVELOP UN GLOBAL GOAL SOLUTIONS In early June a group of All Saints’ College students in Years 6 − 9 was invited to participate in a fullday Student Leadership Program sponsored by the United Nations Association of Australia – Western Australia (UNAAWA).

At WA Parliament House we had the opportunity to discuss the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), collaborate with other schools to look at important issues in society, and listen to a variety of inspirational community leaders.

Dr Steve Lennon (President of the UNAAWA) addressed us on how the UN relies on our input to achieve the SDG, and Dr Caroline Marsh (Education Coordinator − One World Centre) took a more technical point of view and talked about how we can act on the SDG. The final panel speakers were two Year 12 students from Shenton College who won the UNAAWA Global Goals Challenge last year. They offered tips on how we can transform our ideas from notes on paper to a reality, with interesting references to their own

amazing journey in creating their solution.

Our final activity for the day was a parliamentary-style pitch to the other schools about an idea that we had developed – how All Saints’ College could help solve one of the Global Goals. Back in our College groups, we planned a ‘Mission’ and decided on SDG Number Four: Quality Education.

For our idea we drew on our passions for helping and teaching others and decided that refugees were a group that could really be helped. Our idea was to make a program where students, staff and parents visit The Salvation Army refugee centres and provide refugees with education and English lessons, in the hope that they will be able to improve their communication skills and better adapt to Australian life.

We were all very excited about our idea to help refugees feel more welcome and better integrate into society.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS RETURNS TO ALL SAINTS’ One of the longest-running OffBroadway shows, Little Shop of Horrors, returned for the third time to the stage at All Saints’ College, with our Senior School students performing the cult classic musical as the 2018 cocurricular Production.

Unlike the previous performances at the College in 1998 and 2009, this year’s interpretation provided a ‘behind the curtain’ glimpse of the rehearsal process.

Another unique element of the College’s production was the representation of the carnivorous plant, Audrey II, which is typically performed as a puppet, but was brought to life by several Senior School students in a ‘skeleton’ prop.

Over three nights in June, the Years 9 to 12 cast performed the story of a timid floral shop assistant who discovers a mysterious alien plant with an unquenchable thirst for human blood and global domination.

Mr Roberts, who directed Little Shop of Horrors at All Saints’ in 2009, said he hopes this year’s performance encouraged community members to reminisce on the College’s past productions.

Director of Arts, Mr Stephen Roberts, said our students tackled some challenging concepts during rehearsals in order to put a spin on the classic production.

“Nostalgia is synonymous with theatre, especially musical theatre, and having a performance that is repeated around every decade allows fresh eyes on a classic production,” he said.

“The cast worked tirelessly to understand the concept, which was to unveil the usually concealed rehearsal process. We made a feature of exposing what is hidden in theatre and made the invisible visible,” said Mr Roberts.

38

“This allowed us to make a feature of the elements that live performances attempt to mask, such as set changes and other technical requirements. The sound engineers, lighting designers and stage crew took on a life of their own and became an integral part of the ‘performance’,” he added.

THE DOVE GOAL 2

“Little Shop of Horrors is becoming something of a tradition at All Saints’ College.”

MOCK TRIAL TEAMS SHOW SPEAKING SKILLS IN THE COURT ROOM For more than two decades, All Saints’ College Years 10 – 12 students with an interest in law and the Australian legal system have faced off against other schools in the Mock Trial Competition, coordinated by The Law Society of Western Australia.

Each Mock Trial is presided over by a qualified volunteer legal professional who acts as the judge and presents the final verdict, as well as feedback to the student participants.

This is organised as an after-school cocurricular activity at the College, with teachers helping our student participants prepare each week for simulated court cases in which two teams – a prosecution/ plaintiff team and a defence team – contest a fictitious legal matter.

Year 12 student Steven Thiele participated in this round and has represented the College in five other Mock Trials over the past two years.

There are seven rounds of the competition held throughout the year, with school teams of eight to 12 students who play the roles of barristers, witnesses, solicitors, a court official and reserves.

Schools are randomly selected for the first three Mock Trial rounds held in Semester 1, with the 16 top-scoring teams then progressing to the elimination rounds during Semester 2. All participants in the competition receive ‘Case Materials’ before the formal trial proceedings which are held in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.

THE DOVE GOAL 2

This year, one of the All Saints’ teams participated in a Mock Trial on a fictional charge of assault causing bodily harm, where a Year 12 rugby player punched a fellow student in ‘self-defence’.

“I have always had an interest in law and the legal system, and the Mock Trials are a fantastic way to learn more about it,” said Steven.

“The trials are so dynamic, and you are constantly thinking on your feet. Though you may think you have it all planned out, chances are the courtroom drama will take a different path from what you originally envisioned,” he added.

By participating in this cocurricular activity at the College, our Senior School students enjoy a unique opportunity to learn more about the Australian legal system, develop their research skills and gain valuable public speaking experience.

NETBALL TOUR PROMOTES POSITIVE WELLBEING Our broad and engaging sporting program at the College plays a significant role in supporting the positive physical and mental wellbeing of students at All Saints’.

In addition to the Health and Physical Education curriculum, we also offer a range of cocurricular sporting opportunities for our students through our Clubs and interhouse/interschool Sport.

As part of our commitment to developing partnerships within the community and

growing the sporting program, this year the College organised its inaugural Netball Tour to the Gold Coast for the International Netball Festival.

activities before each school or club performed an act of their choice.

During the school holidays, from 19 to 27 April 2018, a group of 17 Senior School students in Years 9 and 10 competed in the festival against school teams and clubs from across Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia.

Over the next eight days, the College’s two Under 15 teams played around 12 games each. They also had the opportunity to visit most of the Gold Coast’s theme park attractions and top shopping destinations, and perfected their skills in a Netball Clinic with athletes from the Queensland Firebirds team.

At the opening ceremony on the first evening, the Event Coordinator, Ms Jane Rushton, gave an inspirational talk and provided the group with some mindfulness

Our students demonstrated dedication to their teammates and to the sport throughout the competition, which was acknowledged with one of the ASC teams receiving the

Sportsmanship Award for Under 15s, and Tiana Bussell and Emelia Preston (Year 10) being awarded the Most Valuable Players.

Year 9 student, Eliana Hullett, was fortunate to attend the 2018 Netball Tour and said there was never a dull moment.

“Everyone had an absolutely amazing experience, made new friends and learnt so many new skills. I would highly recommend it to other students,” said Eliana.

The College looks forward to continuing to develop our current sporting program and providing similar opportunities for our students in the future.

To support our dedicated employees with their mental and physical wellbeing and to maintain a balanced work environment at All Saints’ College, we were delighted to include two weekly Pilates sessions in the Staff Wellbeing Program this year.

Held at the College, these physical fitness classes are in addition to our weekly Yoga session already utilised by many staff from different departments across the Junior and Senior Schools.

Although Yoga and Pilates are different forms of exercise, they both have immense physical and mental benefits, and focus on breathing, building strength and flexibility, and improving overall fitness.

Research has shown that regular exercise (particularly Yoga and Pilates) can help to increase productivity and concentration, improve memory, promote mental stability and help to minimise stress.

The College is delighted that these new Pilates classes have been embraced so favourably by our staff community, and will continue to find ways in which we can maintain the positive and supportive work environment at All Saints’.

GRANDPARENTS AND FRIENDS ENJOY SPECIAL ACTIVITIES ON CAMPUS One of the many reasons All Saints’ College established a Grandparents and Friends’ Club last year was to provide more opportunities for these valued members of our community to visit the campus.

Earlier this year we were delighted to welcome around 20 of our students’ grandparents and friends to the College for a special three-hour Art Workshop in our Senior School Art Room.

In the Term 2 workshop, participants started with blank canvases and through the morning received step-by-step guidance from a local Perth artist to paint their own artworks titled ‘Autumn Stroll’.

The feedback from those who participated in our first Art Workshop this year was overwhelmingly positive and prompted the College to organise another special event during the Term 3 holidays, where the grandparents had an opportunity to invite their grandchildren along with them to paint ‘The Rottnest Lighthouse’.

If you are interested in learning more about our Grandparents and Friends’ Club workshops and events and would like to receive regular communication from the College, including our bi-annual magazine, The Dove, please email Mr Ben Dahlstrom (Director of Marketing and Community Relations): ben.dahlstrom@ allsaints.wa.edu.au

OUR HERITAGE GOES BEYOND BOUNDARIES Our sixth annual Heritage Week, held 7 – 11 May, was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate a part of All Saints’ College’s history.

This year’s theme Beyond Boundaries highlighted the many ways in which the College, its staff, students and families have gone beyond the boundaries that exist in our lives.

Some of the boundaries explored were physical, such as our study trips abroad; some were ways of studying, in the way the College has embraced interdisciplinary learning for many years; and others were personal, in the way All Saints’ has sought to instil a sense of Respect, Integrity and Courage (RIC) in its students.

Our Old Saints are an important aspect of our history, and they were delighted to host a number of fun-filled activities at the College during Heritage Week.

The Years 3 and 4 students in House teams raced against the clock to put together aerial photograph puzzles of our campus in different years during the Piecing Together All Saints’ Heritage event, while some Year 5s and 6s studied a virtual timeline of the College’s history and participated in Buzzer Quizzes during the week.

Additionally, the students in both the Junior and Senior Schools enjoyed Sausage Sizzles hosted by our Old Saints. These events raised more than $750 in aid of Living Child, a not-for-profit non-government charity founded by Old Saint and midwife Sara David (née Lindegger, 1987) to reduce the maternal and infant death rate in remote villages of Papua New Guinea.

Many students leaned in and thought beyond the boundaries when creating inventions for the Pre-Primary – Year 6 Old Saints’ Heritage Week Art Competition, and designing an app or marketable product in the Years 7 – 12 Old Saints’ Challenge.

To conclude a highly successful week, current students competed against former students in games of Netball, Basketball and Soccer in the Indoor Sports Centre on Friday evening. Congratulations to the Old Saints who retained the Old Saints v Students’ Sports Event Shield this year.

On the Monday, around 20 Drama students from different schools came to the College to develop and devise an original work with Joyce called ‘Planting Seeds’. Later in the week she engaged with selected Years 10 and 11 Drama students from the College, and hosted sessions with teachers who were wanting to improve on their teaching of devised and physical theatre.

G AL5 Prudent Stewardship THE GROWTH OF OUR RESOURCES AND FACILITIES

Each year, in keeping with our commitment in Goal 5 of our Strategic Plan to provide responsible and prudent stewardship as part of our quest to carefully manage the growth of All Saints’ facilities and resources, we are pleased to summarise in the adjacent charts the College’s major sources of income and areas of expenditure for the previous calendar year.

In 2017 our total income amounted to $34.1m, of which $21.4m (or 63%) was in the form of tuition fees.

As is the case with all schools, our major expenditure is on salaries which in this reporting period represented 72% of total expenditure at $22.4m.

We strive to ensure that the balance of our income is spent on providing and maintaining the best possible resources and facilities for our students and staff.

Funds are also used to meet the interest and principal repayments for our two newest buildings – our Centre for Performing Arts and Building 8 − both enjoyed by students across all year levels at the College.

SHAPING OUR FUTURE CAMPUS In our quest to continually develop All Saints’ College’s resources and facilities, we were pleased this year to partner with EIW architects to assist in the production of our new Campus Development Plan (CDP).

Established in 1994, EIW is a Subiacobased firm comprising 17 architects, designers, draftspeople and support staff. At the heart of their philosophy is recognising that they must become part of a planning and design team, working in collaboration with clients. EIW values process and is committed to keeping abreast of current best thinking in education.

As part of this, the firm recognises the importance of finding and asking the ‘right’ questions that probe deeply and challenge – and works in partnership with, and invites into the master planning process, NoTosh design thinking company

THE DOVE GOAL 5

– a company with which the College has also been involved in recent years.

We began the consultation process with EIW towards the end of Term 2, when a group of 19 students from across the Junior and Senior Schools were tasked with a special project to photograph spaces around the campus that they wished to discuss at the first community CDP workshop.

Held at the College the following week, the community workshop, called Shaping Place, was the first opportunity for students, staff, parents, All Saints’ former and current Board members, and Old Saints to come together with the architects to share ideas about plans for our future campus.

Then over the next few months, EIW and NoTosh held additional focus group workshops with our students and staff where they further identified ways in which we could shape the current learning spaces to best suit our teaching and learning practices at All Saints’.

Lily Li (Year 11) participated in some of these workshops and said they provided a voice and representation for the student body.

“It was a great opportunity for students to voice their opinions, and gain insight into how their own education is planned,” said Lily.

“For me particularly, I liked the fact that we incorporated new innovative thinking, channelling our College’s goal towards advancing further and further into Enterprise.

I was able to connect my passion for new educational forms and ideas, with my passion in enterprise, and my future pursuits in architecture,” she added.

The College acknowledges and sincerely thanks the members of our community who have significantly contributed to the consultation process thus far, and looks forward to communicating the outcomes of these discussions with the unveiling of our new Campus Development Plan next year.

In Term 2 this year, the students of Year 5C embarked on a journey that would last for quite some time. Our topic was ‘Waste in our World’ and how we could reduce it.

Did you know that if all the primary schools in WA produce the same amount of plastic as us, then we would (collectively) produce 32 million pieces of plastic every year? That’s alarming!

We decided to record how much rubbish the All Saints’ College Junior School produced in one day, not including food waste. We visited each class, armed with a few helpers and boxes, and collected all the waste that they were producing at recess and lunch.

After we collected the waste, Year 5C placed it all out on a tarp so we could record our waste facts, and most importantly, work out how much waste we produced. Then, as a class, we dug through the garbage to sort all the rubbish into different categories.

We weighed, counted and measured all the different rubbish categories and also wrote down some crazy statistics, which

included: Did you know that the whole Junior School throws out 18 metres worth of biscuit and chip packets in one day?

Or that every academic year, the Junior School throws out approximately 28 000 chip packets? If all the schools in Australia produced the same amount of yoghurt squeezes as we do, then we would produce 10 384 000 in one year! And that’s only some of the alarming statistics.

We took on this project to hopefully raise awareness about the waste we produce in our community and to help our parents realise just how much garbage we produce. It might seem like just one chip packet, just one packet of Oreos, or just one coffee cup, but the thing we need to remember is – it’s just one earth!

18m

DID YOU KNOW? THE JUNIOR SCHOOL TH ROWS OUT 18 METRES OF BIS CUIT & CHIP PACKETS IN ONE DAY!

Our wish for the future is that we produce less waste and reduce our impact on the environment to make our world a better place. We need to stop this pollution at a local level so that we can make a global difference. We still have a long way to go if we want to make a difference.

This ‘War on Waste at ASC’ is not finished, it is only just beginning. Will you help?

A GENEROUS

SPIRIT All Saints’ College is grateful for our community’s generous and ongoing support this year of our Voluntary Building Fund (VBF) and the Give the gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund.

Following a review of our CCTV camera coverage, we have been able to use the VBF to install additional CCTV cameras across our campus in 2018. In the past the VBF has also funded the work completed at The Hangar (the home of Propeller Industries), enclosed our Canteen, and airconditioned the College Chapel, amongst other projects.

In its second year, our Give the gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund celebrated some of the many Old Saints who have gone beyond boundaries to make a positive difference in their communities. This important annual giving program helps support our current students from diverse backgrounds, with their variety of skills and talents, to go confidently beyond boundaries in their pursuit of excellence as they also seek to make a positive difference in the world.

All Saints’ College sincerely thanks the following donors to our Voluntary Building Fund and Give the gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Fund during the 2017 – 2018 Financial Year (1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018).
