It is hard to believe that it is the final term for the year, and soon we will celebrate and congratulate the Class of 2019 as they walk across the stage at Presentation Ceremony and then embark on the new chapter of their lives.

We have been inspired by this philosophy to incorporate more written and visual work created by the students into The Dove, including the front cover image by talented Year 10 student, Madhav Rajesh. The work, titled Minimus, was one of Madhav’s many striking photographs featured in the HotHouse Company’s inaugural Invitational Exhibition (page 63).

As you browse The Dove Spring Magazine, you will read about what has been happening at Ewing Avenue during the past six months. The College’s innovative and dynamic curricular and cocurricular programs, Service opportunities, student and staff achievements, and community initiatives are featured in this edition.

Thank you to the many students and staff who have contributed to our 82nd edition of The Dove. We hope you enjoy reading our College publication and wish you all the best for the last few months of the year.

Goal 3 (Innovation and Enterprise) is a new area of focus in the College’s Strategic Plan; launched earlier this year. In this section of the magazine, we have highlighted our young people who are embracing their passions and interests, who are taking greater control of their learning and are becoming empowered to have a voice.

Principal

Welcome to our 2019 Spring edition of The Dove.

In these pages we are pleased to celebrate many achievements and initiatives under the goals of our new Strategic Plan, Benang*. Goal 1 (Wellbeing) focuses on some of the many service activities in which our students are involved: service is a powerful vehicle to nurture wellbeing, focusing as it does on young people’s empowerment to make a difference as they ‘give back’ to their communities and as they explore what it means, for them, to live a meaningful life. Also spotlighted in Goal 1 is the College’s vast cocurricular program where, outside the traditional classroom, students learn many skills and forge friendships with like-minded others. There is also much to celebrate in Goal 2 (Learning) where we look at a number of new projects within the College, including the creation of a ‘personalisable’ timetable and a very popular and successful STEM elective.

As these pages also explain, we are very pleased to launch a new project in partnership with Curtin University, and to celebrate the enormous success of our new 2019 Year 9 Outdoor Learning Program in Kalbarri. Goal 3 focuses on innovation and enterprise, and these pages give some insight into the breadth of innovations within the College, from RunwayOnline to a new website and student newspaper and, of course, one of our most recent initiatives, The Agency, our employment agency for ASC students. Goal 4 shines the spotlight on ‘the village’, our community which is so integral to all we do, and Goal 5, amongst other things, provides an opportunity for us to thank our donors and to celebrate some of our growing number of sustainability initiatives and endeavours. I trust you will enjoy this edition of The Dove. Ms Belinda Provis Principal

Senior School students and staff on a biennial India Immersion Expedition to provide educational support to the children in the organisation. During his residency, Brother Steve had an opportunity to meet the All Saints’ group which will travel on the upcoming expedition in January 2020. While on our campus, he spoke to our Junior and Senior Schools during Chapel about his campaign and how our students can have a voice to encourage change in their local and the global communities. Brother Steve also ran workshops with our Senior School leaders and classes across different learning areas, such as Drama, Dance, English and Humanities and Social Sciences. In these sessions they explored

ways in which our students can incorporate social justice into their projects to help influence people and create political change. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations were highlighted by Brother Steve during his time at the College as part of how we, as a community, can contribute to creating greater awareness and make a difference towards achieving these goals by 2030. We were also delighted to welcome Ms Lynne Moten (Dean of Service Learning at Seymour College, Adelaide) during the residency to share her experiences from India and working with Brother Steve. We thank both of them for the time, knowledge and passion they gave our community.

COMING TOGETHER FOR NAIDOC WEEK Each year in July, All Saints’ College and communities across our nation celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for NAIDOC Week. This year’s national observance occurred from 7–14 July during the College’s winter holidays, so the All Saints’ community celebrated our First Nations Australians throughout the final week of Term 2. Week 9 Chapel services focussed on the

theme of 2019 NAIDOC Week (‘Voice. Treaty. Truth.’) and the three key elements to the reforms set out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Our Indigenous students and their families, as well as staff from across the College, came together to enjoy some Kangaroo stew, damper and quandong jam in celebration of NAIDOC Week. This evening was a wonderful opportunity for parents and guardians to meet our inaugural Indigenous Student Support Assistant, Paige James (Class of 2017) who was appointed into the role earlier this year. Paige’s parents, Allan and Penny, and her brother, Zac (Class of 2007)

kindly prepared the delicious food and were also in attendance at the event. Continuing the celebrations and sharing part of their culture, our Indigenous students and Paige handed out tasters of the Kangaroo stew to Senior School community members during one lunchtime later in the week. In the Junior School, our students also reflected on the meaning and importance of NAIDOC Week, and buddy classes created bracelets together in the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. The children who attended our Out of School

Hours Care (OSHC) Winter Vacation Care Program embraced the spirit of NAIDOC Week in various activities. They created their own dot paintings and bracelets made from traditional Indigenous colours, and built miniature ‘mia-mia’ shelters. The children also enjoyed homemade damper at lunchtime and an incursion by Indigenous Tours WA. Through these NAIDOC Week activities and events, our College community enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about this important celebration, and further engaged in the history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

CAPTURING THE HEART AND SPIRIT OF THE

Fitzroy Community All photographs by Madhav Rajesh and Michelle Thesman

During the first week of the July school holidays, a group of 28 All Saints’ students and seven College staff participated in our fourth annual Fitzroy Crossing Service Learning Immersion expedition, in partnership with Teach Learn Grow (TLG). While most of the group attended to provide one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to rural and Indigenous children at the Bayulu Remote Community School and Fitzroy Valley District High School, two ASC students – Madhav Rajesh and Michelle Thesman (Year 10) – travelled to the Kimberley region to take part in the HotHouse Company’s Voices Project. Before the trip, Madhav and Michelle began a mentorship program to learn from HotHouse Company collaborator and local professional photographer Jon Green. Since their return the students have been working closely with Jon, Mr Stephen Roberts (Director of Arts) and Mrs Sue Watt (Expedition Leader/English teacher) on how to artistically represent their work. Madhav and Michelle share their experience and photographs on these pages.

CONNECTING GENERATIONS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY Last year, the College launched GenConnect, an enriching Service Learning program where our young people connect with older adults in the community from our partner organisation, Amana Living, by sharing their knowledge of technology. The benefits for both generations were evident, with the residents developing their knowledge and skills, and our students gaining a sense of purpose and an improvement in leadership and communication skills, as they made a difference to the lives of others. We welcomed a new group of residents to the College when GenConnect started again for the year in Term 1. The weekly one-onone IT lessons were prepared for our student instructors each week, and as the sessions were individualised, they were able to tailor them to suit each resident’s needs and personal goals. The College ran another round of the GenConnect program in Term 3, with senior residents from various Amana Living centres eager to learn how they can better connect with the digital world, and our All Saints’ students excited to be the ones to share in this journey with them. We were delighted to extend the GenConnect program in 2019 and be one of only a few schools in Western Australia to pioneer this new intergenerational

reverse-mentoring initiative run by the Office of eSafety Commissioner. (The eSafety Commissioner is responsible for promoting online safety for all Australians.) As part of the ‘Be Connected Young Mentors’ pilot program, the College receives access to training, online tutorials and modules to help support our students and staff who work with the residents from Amana Living. “Teaming up with the eSafety Commissioner allowed the College to access more resources and connect with an organisation that shares similar goals. It also allowed our student and staff participants to further develop their training and knowledge,” said Mr Scott Corbett (Head of Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise). “GenConnect is a valuable program for both the College and Amana Living, and it is wonderful to see two generations and communities making connections through technology,” Mr Corbett added. “While participants from Amana Living, increased their IT skills and became more accustomed to using their digital devices, our students in Years 7–12 broadened their experiences and helped others in the community by sharing their skills and knowledge.” To learn more about the ‘Be Connected Young Mentors’ program, please scan the QR code and watch the video.

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ENCOURAGES CLASS OF 2019 TO DONATE BLOOD As many of our Class of 2019 turn 18 years of age this year, they automatically become eligible to donate blood. With the help of All Saints’ College, these students have been made aware of their potentially lifesaving contribution.

staff to help others by creating an ongoing awareness campaign at the College.

A Senior School Assembly held in June this year coincided with the Australian Red Cross National Blood Donor Week, and Year 12 students, Elly Crowhurst and Eva South, spoke to their peers about the significance of blood donation.

Ms Mast said she hopes these emails will help create a purposeful connection and inspire students to consider blood donation.

National Blood Donor Week celebrates the half a million regular donors in Australia and encourages new donors to register. Elly and Eva used the week to start an emotionallyintelligent conversation about blood donation and how it can impact on a person’s life. Elly and Eva have joined forces with Senior School Mathematics teacher, Ms Hannah Mast, to encourage Year 12 students and

Each blood donation can help save up to three lives

In the same week as the Assembly, Ms Mast launched her initiative of sending an email every Monday for the rest of the year to the Year 12 students who turn 18, encouraging them to consider blood donation or other ways they can help.

“Hopefully, the students will spread the word in their circles, both within and beyond the College. I have already received several enthusiastic responses from Year 12s considering blood donation or booking themselves in for donation appointments,” said Ms Mast. While National Blood Donor Week was a great opportunity to create awareness of blood donation, Ms Mast aims to continue the initiative in future years, and says she is excited to see how the program develops and what it could become.

MORNING FITNESS PROGRAM PROMOTES WELLBEING The College is committed to providing opportunities for our students to engage in regular physical activity to help support their personal development, enrich academic outcomes and foster a strong sense of wellbeing. Established earlier this year, our Junior School Morning Fitness program aims to fulfil these objectives by encouraging all students in Years 1–6 to engage in regular and enjoyable physical activity with their peers.

10

THE DOVE GOAL 1

At the beginning of each day, the classes venture outside for 15 minutes to participate in various fitness activities designed to increase heart rates. These include skipping, tag, running and ball games. The program works on a rotation basis, in order for our students to experience all activities which are high-energy, sustained forms of exercise, with a focus on Fundamental Movement Skills. Morning Fitness was initiated by Junior School Health and Physical Education teacher, Mrs Amy McAnuff, as she

recognises the immense benefits of regular physical activity and wanted to provide all our students with a positive start to the day. “The ongoing research from the Department of Education in Western Australia shows the many physical and mental benefits of regular physical activity, including increased memory retention, focus, creativity and faster reaction time,” said Mrs McAnuff. “By providing this small change in the lives of our students, I believe we are setting them up for a strong, productive and focussed learning experience,” she added.

The program also encourages student agency and the development of leadership and communication skills, with our Year 6 Student Leaders planning and running the fitness activities. “The leaders have become skilled in organising and presenting each activity to the classes. They have taken ownership over the games they present which has been very rewarding for them,” said Mrs McAnuff. “The program has been very well-received by students and staff over the past two terms, and we look forward to seeing how it evolves over time.”


JUNIOR SCHOOL STUDENTS EMBRACE BENEFITS OF SKIPPING It supports heart health, develops motor skills, improves coordination, balance and muscular strength, plus it is an enjoyable physical activity to do with others or on your own. What’s not to love about skipping? Understanding the immense benefits of this exercise to support children’s wellbeing, Junior School Health and Physical Education teacher, Mrs Amy McAnuff, reintroduced the Jump Rope for Heart program into the College this year. In Term 1, our Pre-Primary to Year 4 students were given the opportunity to participate in this national activity. For over 35 years, Jump Rope for Heart has been encouraging school-aged children to keep fit and healthy, while having fun and learning a Fundamental Movement Skill. Over six weeks, our Junior School students enjoyed skipping rope, and in a short time they demonstrated advanced skills, developed strong foundational abilities, and showed a love for the physical activity. Another aspect of the program is to raise vital funds for the Heart Foundation, supporting the organisation’s research and programs which improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in Australia. The fundraising component was not a compulsory part of the program at All Saints’. However, many of our students were inspired

to raise funds for this very worthy cause, including Ananya Aggarwal (Year 2) who, to date, has raised the largest sum of money in Western Australia. After a presentation by the Heart Foundation at the College, Ananya decided she wanted to take part in fundraising for the organisation because she loves skipping, and wanted to “help sick people get better”. Her skipping was promoted by her parents on social media, helping her to raise a total of $1 554.80.

L-R: Ms Crane, Ananya Aggarwal, Sedley Hoar, Jessica Gawthrope

Along with Ananya, Jessica Gawthrope (Year 2), who raised $257.84 and Sedley Hoar (Year 4), who raised $75.76, were acknowledged by the Heart Foundation for their fundraising efforts with prizes which were presented to the students in Term 2 by Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane. The following term, four of our Junior School students were delighted to be involved in a Murdoch University School of Education research project focussing on Enhancing Physical Activity, Motivational Climate and Teaching Efficacy in Maldives Primary School Physical Education. In the instructional video, our students help to teach the basics of skipping, using ageappropriate language to explain how they learnt the skills. It is hoped that the video recordings, along with lesson plans, may be able to help improve the low rate of student physical activity in Primary Schools in Malé.

Rowing Club As one of our longest-running cocurricular sporting programs, Rowing at All Saints’ College has a proud and extensive history. With immense physical and mental benefits and a strong sense of community, it is no surprise that this sporting program has remained highly popular amongst Senior School students at ASC.

The first record of All Saints’ venturing into Rowing dates back to the late ‘80s with a Senior School Boys’ Quad competing in local regattas. In the early ‘90s, two girls’ crews showed their incredible dedication to the sport and achieved success at the Schoolgirls Head of the River event, wearing eye-catching shirts they had designed themselves. In 2000, the All Saints’ College Rowing Club was officially established under the coaching leadership of Mrs Jo-anne Boserio, who joined the College staff community a year prior as a Senior School Languages teacher.

THE DOVE GOAL 1

CELEBRATES ITS PROUD HISTORY

A passionate rowing enthusiast, Mrs Boserio first became involved in the sport as a member of the Curtin University Boat Club (CUBC) in 1971. She represented the club at National Championships from the mid70s to early-80s and was the CUBC Club President for a number of years. In 2006, Mrs Boserio was recognised as Rowing WA’s Club Coach of the Year after being nominated by her peers at CUBC. As a result of Mrs Boserio’s life membership with the CUBC, All Saints’ crews began rowing out of the Curtin University Boat Club on the Manning foreshore and using its facilities and equipment in 2000. This was the beginning of a thriving partnership between the two organisations that remains today. Within a year of the ASC Rowing Club’s establishment, the team had doubled in size, with 19 scullers and two coxswains competing in Rowing WA Regattas and Independent Girls’ Schools’ Sports Association (IGSSA) Regattas. The following year, in 2002, the camaraderie, fitness and excitement of this water sport attracted

3

more members to the club, with a total of 32 students. The club even grew to more than 45 members at one point!

The club has had much to celebrate over the years, with All Saints’ rowers achieving a long list of notable placings and wins at State Regattas, and some students going on to represent WA in national competitions. This year, we celebrated with Old Saint, Lia Franklin (Class of 2017), a dedicated member of the ASC Rowing Club and Rowing Captain in 2017, who was invited to represent Australia in Rowing in an U23 Women’s Pair. Unfortunately, due to an injury, Lia was unable to compete, but her selection to row for the nation and reaching such a high level in Rowing is highly commendable.

Today, there are around 30 students in Years 8–12 who represent All Saints’ College in Rowing as Single, Double, Quad and Eight crews. During the season throughout Terms 1–3, our students train after school twice a week out of the CUBC. The club competes in Rowing WA’s All Schools Regatta Series against around 50 other schools from across Perth. In the series, our students participate in four regattas at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre between June and August.

Many members of the ASC Rowing Club continue their connection with the sport once they have graduated, either by rowing at a university club or through coaching. This is indicative of the wonderful benefits and supportive environment that our All Saints’ Rowing Club provides to students, encouraging them to continue this passion after leaving the College.

Our ASC Rowing Club celebrated the completion of its 20th competitive regatta season in 2019, with Mrs Boserio (Rowing Coordinator and Coach) continuing to share her expertise and passion with yet another squad. She was supported this year by Ms Samantha Rees (Senior School Mathematics/ STEM teacher) as the Rowing Club Assistant, and a number of committed coaches (many of whom are Old Saints).

The strong sense of community makes Rowing a popular cocurricular option for our Senior

In 2009, a number of our College parents enjoyed the sport so much that they participated in a Learn-to-Row program where they learnt how to row with their children over several sessions.

Registrations for the 2020 Rowing season are open until the end of Term 1 for students in Years 8–12. Interested students are invited to contact Mrs Boserio by emailing jo.boserio@allsaints.wa.edu.au

As an inclusive social sport, Rowing at ASC has helped students of all age groups develop valuable life skills in a positive and supportive environment. The ASC Rowing Club is often described as one large family, and after many years these community connections continue to flourish. The College looks forward to seeing how the club evolves over the next 20 seasons!

Modern twist

ON A CLASSIC PRODUCTION – GREASE IS THE WORD All Saints’ College’s production of Grease this year stepped away from the highly-recreated film version to present a contemporary portrayal of the musical.

Lit by neon strip lighting, the actors were dressed in black and white with pink accents (a nod to the original musical) and the minimalist set helped create an edgier portrayal of the stereotypically bright and bubbly musical.

With a stripped-back set, limited colour scheme and heavily stylised performance, the 2019 cocurricular production highlighted the tough and grungy nature of the period and place in which Grease is set.

A fully-realised, high-quality and sell-out production doesn’t ‘just happen’; everyone involved in the cast and crew worked tirelessly on creating the show. It is this sense of camaraderie and the tight-knit bonds created during the process that draw talented and inspiring students to the stage each year.

In a first for the College, the production also combined technology with traditional aspects of the stage. Live filming was projected onto a screen on stage during the performance, allowing the audience to see various perspectives at the same time. Before each show began, the audience saw further behind the scenes as they watched a short documentary of the rehearsal process created by a group of Senior School students (scan QR code to view). The classic musical, which tells the story of young lovebirds, Danny and Sandy, after their summer romance when they cross paths again back at Rydell High School, was given a 21st-century approach through the costumes and set.

THE DOVE GOAL 1

Our Senior School students dedicate a great deal of their time to rehearsals over many months and, in turn, learn from each other, feed off each other’s passion for performing, and improve their skills through collaborative work. Giving students a chance to explore and engage with the Arts in a real-world context, the College Productions continue to provide All Saints’ students with unparalleled opportunities and experiences. Like last year’s production of Little Shop of Horrors, it seems Grease is on track to becoming somewhat of a tradition at All Saints’ College.

TALENTED COLLEGE CHOIRS HIT THE HIGH NOTES Complementing our classroom curriculum, All Saints’ College has a vibrant cocurricular Music program which allows students to broaden their knowledge and experiences through individual instrumental tuition or by taking part in our various bands, ensembles and choirs. Students who take part in our many Music programs enjoy performing regularly in concerts at the College and in venues beyond our campus. These performances provide opportunities for our musicians to showcase their talents in front of live audiences. Our All Saints’ choirs were invited to take part in this year’s Australian National Choral Association (ANCA) ChoralFest.

THE DOVE GOAL 1

After Term 1 finished on Friday, 12 April, our dedicated College choir members from Years 7–12 returned to ASC’s Centre for Performing Arts in the evening to put on a performance to remember during the ChoralFest opening concert. The Junior School combined choir followed on the following Monday (first day of school holidays) with two captivating performances for ChoralFest at the Maritime Museum and Shipwrecks Museum in Fremantle. We thank the ANCA ChoralFest Committee (especially our previous ASC Music Director, Mrs Anette Kerkovius) for nominating the College to be a part of this wonderful Festival. The following term, our College choirs again showcased their choral singing talents during the annual Fremantle Eisteddfod. For many years the College has entered choirs and ensembles (along with numerous

soloists) in the annual Eisteddfod where young performers display their musical skills and receive feedback from adjudicators. All Saints’ entered five choirs from the Junior and Senior Schools to participate in the Choir Recitals at this year’s Eisteddfod held at Methodist Ladies’ College. In the second venue, Fremantle Town Hall, our ASC Celtic Band competed in the Open section of the Instrumental Ensemble Recital. Congratulations to our Senior School choirs for sweeping the board, winning all their categories at the competition, and our Junior School choir for achieving a commendable third place: • Junior Voices: Choir Recital 16+ voices U/11 – 3rd Place • ‘The Minor Details’ Year 7 Choir: Choir Recital 16+ voices U/13 – 1st Place

• Senior School Boys’ Choir: Choir Recital 5-15 voices U/18 – 1st Place • Senior School College Choir: Choir Recital 16+ voices U/18 – 1st Place • Senior School Girls’ Choir: Choir Recital 18+ voices Open – Joint 1st Place with MLC Chorale Additionally, we celebrate with a number of ASC solo instrumentalists and vocalists who achieved first, second and third placings for their individual performances and words of praise from the adjudicators during this year’s Eisteddfod. We extend our thanks to the committed Music staff and tutors, led by Director, Mr David Harries, for their expert guidance, support and encouragement of our students during these performances and the many other events that take place throughout the year.


ROBOTICS CLUB INSTILS 21st CENTURY SKILLS As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly advanced in this technological world, All Saints’ College is embracing the change with close to 80 students choosing to take part in our cocurricular Robotics Club. From humble beginnings, the club has steadily grown over the past 19 years to be one of our most popular after-school activities for Years 5–12. Every Friday during term time the student participants meet with staff and Old Saint mentors to design, build and program robots, meanwhile developing knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Students also learn important social development skills through the Robotics Club, such as teamwork, understanding diversity, communication and organisation. These

capabilities are particularly nurtured through the club’s involvement in state and national Robotics competitions.

1st – Primary Rescue Mayeul De Salve Villedieu, James Ji and Caitlin McLeod (Year 6)

Since 2004 teams from the College’s Robotics Club have participated in the WA RoboCup Junior Australia, which is a project-orientated educational initiative where students enter their robots into the Rescue, Soccer and On-Stage competition categories.

1st – Open Rescue Thomas Fell-Smith, Rémi Hart (Year 11) and Liam Levingston (Year 12)

Well done to the many All Saints’ teams, particularly our first-time competitors, which represented the College at this year’s State RoboCup Junior event held at Curtin Stadium on Friday, 9 and Saturday, 10 August. After the first day of competition, all of our Robotics teams had finished in the top 12 of their divisions, and we are delighted to announce the following teams were successful in their categories at the conclusion of the event.

2nd – Secondary Rescue Riley Snook (Year 7) and Taj Crofts (Year 8) The College’s Live Streaming Team helped film and stream the event onto the large screens inside the stadium, allowing spectators in the stands to watch all the disciplines. Mr Noah Gliosca (Technology and AV Assistant), Mr John and Mrs Yvonne Levingston (College parents), Joel Walkemeyer (Class of 2018) and Alana Levingston (Year 10) facilitated the streaming which was thoroughly enjoyed by attendees. After the WA RoboCup Junior, our winning teams refined and improved their robots for

the Australian Open National Competition held in Melbourne from 11–13 October. At the National Robotics Competition, our three ASC teams were excited to put their robots to the test in the Primary Rescue, Secondary Rescue, Open Rescue and Maze Rescue divisions. At the conclusion of the event, our teams had secured three top 10 placings! Considering this was the first nationals for five of the All Saints’ students, it was a wonderful achievement and they should all feel immensely proud. We sincerely thank the staff, former and current parents and Old Saints who mentor and support our Robotics Club students. In particular, we thank Mrs Donna Hatton (TSC Help Desk Officer) who has been passionately managing this cocurricular group since 2008.

Mrs Ann Strautins After hearing, “It’s a great place to work; you’ll love it here,” from staff members when she first began at All Saints’ in 2002, Mrs Ann Strautins discovered that to be a very true statement over her 17 years at the College. Ann was appointed to work in the Senior School as a Teacher Librarian, and felt fortunate to gain a position in her chosen field. However, during her time at All Saints’ Ann was also involved in the English Department, Creative Industries, Vocational and Educational Training (VET) areas and the Chess Club. She also held the Year 9 Dwellingup Camp Coordinator position for five years. Ann says her love for working as a Teacher Librarian stems from her days at high school, where she recognised the significance of that role in helping create successful and motivated students. After completing her degree in Librarianship and working as a Librarian for a few years, Ann realised her passion was to work with Senior School students, and she commenced a Graduate Diploma in Teacher Librarianship and, 10 years later, completed her Masters in Teacher Librarianship. While Ann has seen many changes at All Saints’, especially in the facilities and grounds, she believes one aspect of the College has remained the same. “All Saints’ College was, and is, known in the community as a leading and respected school, attracting quality staff and students in a coeducational environment,” Ann said. We wish Ann all the best in her retirement as she enjoys having more time to travel, read and continue researching into her family history. She will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of working with, or learning from, her.

CURTIN UNIVERSITY INNOVATIVE SCHOLARS PROGRAM As a member of Curtin University’s Innovative Schools Consortium (ISC), All Saints’ College was invited to participate in a new and exciting program where our students in Years 10–12 are able to study University units and earn credit while they are still at school. At the beginning of Term 3, 14 students from All Saints’ accepted a position in Curtin’s Innovative Schools Scholars Program for High Achieving Students (Innovative Scholars) and began studying their first University unit online or on campus.

In the initial semester of the program, students had the opportunity to choose from a list of 13 units across all Faculties at Curtin: Business and Law, Health Science, Humanities, and Science and Engineering. Those who accepted a place in Innovative Scholars were granted a full scholarship for the units, including access to the University Library and online resources.

can be counted as part of an undergraduate degree (providing the selected degree program recognises the unit).

Design Computing, Introduction to Astronomy, Planetary Science and Typography are some of the units our All Saints’ students have selected to study at Curtin this semester.

“It has been a great learning opportunity to be able to complete a University unit for free and see what Curtin is all about,” said Jeremy.

When they have successfully completed these units, our students will receive a Curtin transcript and credit for their study which

Year 11 student Jeremy Ash decided to study the Fundamentals of Management (MGMT1000) through Innovative Scholars this semester, and has enjoyed it so much that he hopes to study another unit next year.

Rachel Cole (Year 10) decided to undertake the Human Structure and Function (HUMB1000) unit, as she won’t be studying Human Biology at All Saints’ next year but still wanted to learn about the subject.

“I am completing the unit on campus, but there are lectures we have to watch online before we come to the campus for the tutorial. I am really enjoying learning about our bodies and how they work,” said Rachel. “This program has given me a taste of what university will be like: the people, the classes and amount of work. It is teaching me about how to stay on top of my studies and also how to become more organised,” she added. The College is delighted that our students are taking advantage of and enjoying this unique program, and is grateful for the ongoing partnership with Curtin that continues to provide our young people with opportunities to prepare for the future.

HOW DO THE HORIZONS AND BARRIERS IN THE WORLD OF WORK AND EDUCATION IMPACT ON PRE-K TO YEAR 12 EDUCATION? Leaders in Business, Industry and Higher Education support the need for schools to develop transformative competencies.

Increasingly influential in education globally, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2018, released its position paper The Future of Education and Skills: Education 2030, The Future We Want.

At All Saints’, Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute (BBI) was founded in 2018 to support the College in ensuring that its structures, programs and outlooks are future focussed.

Set against a backdrop of increasing pressure on the traditional model of education, Education 2030 outlines a new blueprint for education – one where students, schools and families are ‘coagents’, and where knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are mobilised through transformative competencies.

Assisted by an Advisory Group comprising eminent and emerging leaders in business, industry and education, the BBI has undertaken research and development; incubated and trialled future-focussed programs and structures; and played a leading role in contributing to the conversation at a state, national and global level, about education – always with students’ wellbeing and learning at the heart and centre. Student leaders at the College at the end of the first year of the BBI’s operations interviewed the Advisory Group members to glean understandings about the Horizons, Barriers and Impacts in their field of influence and expertise. These interviews, as well as the ongoing research of the BBI, form the basis of our inaugural report.

22

THE DOVE GOAL 2

The OECD Education 2030 project has identified three further categories of competencies, the ‘Transformative Competencies’, that together address the growing need for young people to be innovative, responsible and aware: • Creating new value • Reconciling tensions and dilemmas • Taking responsibility It is these Transformative Competencies that the Advisory Group, when interviewed, identified as playing a crucial role with regard to the impacts in education from the horizons and barriers they identified.

The insights and observations from the Advisory Group provide valuable ways forward as we work to design structures, curate opportunities and navigate the inevitable barriers for an education that meets the needs of our students in the present and future world. The following recommendations present a framework for guiding schools in that work.

2. Schools need to curate opportunities that:

1. Schools need to design structures that encourage engagement, agency and challenge for our students, and allow for flexibility and innovation in our teachers. These designs may include:

3. Schools need to navigate the barriers so that:

- Timetable and pathway design - Learning space design - Professional learning and engagement design - Design for flexibility and adaptability - Co-creation and co-design of learning opportunities and projects with students, industry and higher education

- Encourage collaboration - Extend beyond the boundaries of school – where school is the real world - Break the silos of disciplines and offer transdisciplinary learning experiences - Build and exercise entrepreneurship and innovation capability - Encourage learning and unlearning - Acknowledge and value capabilities as well as discipline-specific knowledge and skills

- Staff and students can find success within the constraints of the current system – an ‘and-and’ approach - Innovation and flexibility that grows students’ capabilities and engagement is encouraged and championed – a ‘yesand’ approach - The tension between learning for exams vs deep learning and capabilities development is acknowledged and interrogated - Partnership with industry and higher education leapfrogs hurdles


2020 TIMETABLE For every individual student at the College there is an individual measure of success. For 2020, the College has adopted a new timetable model, aligning the gridlines for students in Years 9–12. This new model allows for increased student agency, or choice, over their studies, and enables students to personalise and individualise their timetable and pathway. 4. Schools and communities need to advocate for change that: - Is future-focussed and benefits our students - Removes barriers to innovation and flexibility - Suggests alternative approaches and values - Honours the individual through personalising - Ensures that the wellbeing of all students is a central concern We are grateful for the help of our Year 12 students whose initial interviews form the body of the report. We acknowledge the experience, knowledge and insight that each of our Advisory Group members brought to this report. Going beyond the boundaries of our College and seeking their valuable guidance is key to ensuring that the education we provide to our students is world-leading best practice. To read the full report which will be available next month, please visit the BBI website: www.beyondboundariesinstitute.org.au Ms Esther Hill Director of Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute

The College recognises that not all students are the same, and that many students require a highlyindividualised program to cater for their learning needs in order for them to uncover their full potential. Previously, the College has managed this on a purely individual basis, allowing a small number of students to study subjects outside the usual sequence, but this has not always been an easy task. Timetables are built on a ‘grid structure’ and the current (pre-2020) model had Year 11 and 12 students aligned on a different grid to Year 9 and 10, meaning that ‘moves’ could be particularly problematic and result in students potentially missing valuable learning opportunities in other curriculum areas. The alignment of gridlines will enable greater choice and flexibility in the ‘elective’ areas. It will also

enable key changes: students in Year 10 will be able to access Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses (eg complete a Certificate in Sport Coaching alongside the rest of their program); and students with the ability and desire to accelerate in certain curriculum areas (eg perhaps study Year 11 Physics as a Year 10 student) can do so without impacting on other curriculum areas. In addition to selecting a Mathematics, English, Science and Humanities subject, students will now be able to study four ‘semesterised’ curriculum options per year (previously only three) that are not specific to a particular year group. This has enabled the College to expand and refresh its already impressive list of curriculum offerings, allowing students more choice and the ability to specialise in areas of interest and passion. Our ability to build an agile and personalisable timetable, based on student choice, is a positive step forward in building a responsive and future-focussed education for all students here at All Saints’.

INNOVAT[ED] Forming part of our Years 7–10 curriculum, the College’s unique Innovat[ED] program has continued to evolve over this year, with all students engaging in authentic projectbased experiences and developing creative thinking, collaboration, problem-solving and entrepreneurship skills.

$20 BOSS ENTREPRENEURIAL PROGRAM

UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS During Innovat[ED] in Term 3, Year 7 students took on the challenge of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which are a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030. Following their interests, they chose from a variety of Global Goals to investigate. Students were involved in authentic learning where they could see their actions making a difference. With staff facilitation, students instigated and managed a river clean-up and the promotion and screening of the film, Connection to Country, highlighting Indigenous issues.

24

THE DOVE GOAL 2

As a result of the work of Year 7 students, we are currently looking at a chicken coop and bee-keeping possibilities on campus, along with the installation of solar panels. Students have impacted not only ASC throughout this term, but also the local community and globally through prototyping protection for vegetable crops in Africa.

Term 3 saw our Year 9 and 10 cohorts begin the youth entrepreneurship program, $20 Boss, run by the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA). Our Year 9 and 10 students were each provided with $20.00 of start-up capital to create their projects in small groups, and during the term they worked on designing their business, developing marketing strategies, and creating budgets and prototypes. “The students have learnt about the many challenges involved in starting and running a business. Many teams have made it through to marketing and production, while others have transitioned to new ‘bring your own learning’ projects that will support them to develop new skills and find ways to share with a broader audience,” said Ms Laura

Strentz (Head of Propeller Industries and Innovat[ED]/English teacher). As our Year 9s and 10s worked on their business ideas, some groups had an opportunity to meet with College parents during Term 3 to receive help and advice on how they could develop and refine their innovative concepts. We thank Mrs Bronny Baker, Ms Alya Gatti, Mrs Felicity Glencross, Ms Kath Polglase and Mr Stuart Watson for visiting these classes and helping our students to develop their businesses. Once completed, many of our students’ products and services will be available to purchase through the College’s Runway Pop-up Shop (in the foyer of our Centre for Performing Arts) and RunwayOnline runwayonline.com.au


E-PORTFOLIOS As the world of work continues to shift in the 21st century, so has the way that recruiters and higher education institutions select prospective employers or students. They want to know more about who the individual is and how they think and draw upon a range of skills in real-world examples, rather than simply their final examination score. This is why at All Saints’ College through Innovat[ED], we launched a project this year where our Years 7–10 students have the platform and are equipped with the skills to develop individual web-based e-portfolios, which they can use now and also when they graduate to showcase their skills and knowledge to school staff, prospective employers or higher education institutions. The students are creators and curators of their e-portfolios and can use them when applying for leadership positions at the College, as they go through course counselling, when applying for contracts through The Agency (the College’s employment agency for ASC students), and even possibly during student-parentteacher interviews.

REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS FOR OUR SERVICE PARTNERS As part of our Year 8 Innovat[ED] program, students are developing their social conscience and helping make a positive difference in our world through a Service and Social Enterprise project. In collaboration with the College’s Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise, the Year 8s were presented with real-world challenges faced by some of our Service Learning partners: Amana Living, The Salvation Army, Nulsen Group and the Royal Australian Air Force Association (RAAFA). The ‘problems’ were projects or programs the organisations had wanted to implement but couldn’t, which is where the expertise of our students came in. In small groups, the students applied for a project that best

matched their skills. Using the design-thinking framework, the groups developed their ideas with support from their facilitators (teachers). The cohort had an opportunity during Term 2 to go on excursions to visit the Service Learning partners to further their understanding of the organisations and the requirements of their clients. They returned from the site visits and reevaluated their ideas. Early in Term 3 our Year 8s pitched their concepts to representatives from the Service organisations, and answered questions from the clients, as well as from their peers and facilitators. After the pitches, the students were asked to email an expression of interest if they

wished to continue their projects for the organisations during Innovat[ED]. Many Year 8s were keen to continue their involvement and are now working in small groups on five projects. These include a prototype of a bookcase for Amana Living, a digital scrapbook for Nulsen residents, an app for The Salvation Army which notifies partner schools when supplies are low, a Virtual Reality (VR) tour of The Salvation Army Doorways Facility, and an autobiography writing course that can be implemented at Amana Living. The groups continuing their engagement in this unique enterprise experience aim to have real-world prototypes ready to present to their clients, the service partners, by the end of the year for more feedback.

New location... NEW OUTDOOR LEARNING POSSIBILITIES

All Saints’ College’s extensive and engaging Outdoor Learning Program (OLP) provides opportunities for our students to visit various environmental regions across the state to broaden their experience with nature and develop their outdoor skills.

Outdoor Learning, selected the location to provide our students with an opportunity to slow down and learn in nature.

2019 saw some exciting developments to the College’s Year 9 OLP; allowing our students to challenge themselves and build stronger relationships with their peers at a new location during a different time of the year.

“This may have included sitting around, exploring, journaling, preparing equipment or sleeping and relaxing amidst the 400 million-year-old Tumblagooda Sandstone, out of which the Murchison River Gorge has carved an impressive scar. To have this opportunity, however, required students to work in small groups, learning basic skills to move through and in the environment in which they found themselves,” he added.

For the first time in almost 32 years, the College’s Year 9 camp or OLP was not held in the south-west region in Term 1. Instead the Year 9 OLP was held in Term 3 this year with two groups in turn venturing to Kalbarri. So, why Kalbarri? Around six hours north of Perth, Kalbarri is located where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, and is known for its spectacular beaches and river waterways, gorges, and National Park. After recognising the benefits of ‘Slow Pedagogy’, Mr Jason Zaurs, Head of

“Considering our students are very busy people, I wanted to provide an opportunity for them to be teenagers, to have a choice and be responsible for the decisions they make as a group or as an individual,” said Mr Zaurs.

During the five-night/six-day Outdoor Learning Program, our Year 9s participated in team-building and problem-solving activities, including expedition hiking through the gorge, canyoneering and camping in tents at Camp Kalbarri.

Additionally, our students had an opportunity to engage in bushwalking and bushcraft, abseiling, and environmental appreciation and social skill development activities. These enjoyable and challenging learning experiences aimed to develop our students’ self-confidence, self-awareness and their relationships with their peers and College staff. “Listening to the staff’s and students’ response to this program certainly demonstrated that we all could do with slowing down a bit. Our students were happy, reflective and able to identify what they learnt. This came about because they felt they had the safety and autonomy to feel free,” said Mr Zaurs. “An adventurous journey can mean many things to different people, and this journey for our Year 9 students meant a lot.”

'BEING IN THE BUSH’ OUTDOOR LEARNING PROGRAM In 2019, the International Year of Indigenous Languages, All Saints’ College is continuing to develop an appreciation and understanding of Indigenous culture and the history of the land on which our campus was built. After receiving a PALS (Partnership, Acceptance, Learning and Sharing) Grant from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries this year, and utilising a College Restless Curiosity Grant, our Junior School was able to enrich our Year 2 Outdoor Learning Program (OLP) ‘Being in the Bush’. These grants allowed Indigenous learning and culture to be at the forefront of our program, with a strong focus on developing our students’ language awareness and understanding of the connection to Country and Culture that Noongar people have through the knowledge of flora. Our Year 2 classroom learning about native plants and the local bush environment was enhanced when the classes were visited by a local Indigenous representative from Bindi Bindi Dreaming, as well horticulturist and founder of Tucker Bush, Mark Tucek, in early Term 3.

THE DOVE GOAL 2

The special guests shared their cultural knowledge and the many benefits of native bushfoods with our students before they got their hands messy by planting a variety of edible bush tucker species in a flowerbed near the Year 2 classrooms. The ‘Being in the Bush’ project, supported by our classroom teachers, as well as Mrs Katrina Goods (Outdoor Learning teacher) and Ms Brette Lockyer (Junior School Library/ICT Literacy teacher), continued throughout the term and extended into other learning areas. “We adopted a holistic approach to the project at ASC, with our Year 2 students engaging in Noongar language development in Music, and a STEM project utilising bush tucker plants and their properties,” said Mrs Goods. In collaboration with the Junior School Art teacher, Ms Kirsten Makinson, the Year 2 classes are now designing some Bush Tucker signs for the area which will help to signify the garden and our students’ experience. “Our Year 2s also gained deeper knowledge of indigenous flora, native foods and biodiversity, and increased their connection to Indigenous culture when they took part in their OLP in September, spending two days exploring the bush environment around the College campus,” Mrs Goods added.


ASC TEAMS PROVE KNOWLEDGE WITH CLEAN SWEEP AT MATHS COMPETITION All Saints’ College student mathematicians made history this year, with all four of our teams taking out first place in their age category in the Mathematical Association of Western Australia (MAWA) Have Sum Fun Face to Face (F2F) Competitions. Our Year 5 and 6, Year 7 and 8, Year 9 and 10, and Year 11 and 12 teams competed against other schools across the state in the quiz-style competition in late March. In teams of six, the students competed against the clock to solve four intense rounds of eight challenging Mathematics problems. The South Metropolitan Division event kicked off at the College on Friday, 15 March with 30 teams in attendance, and our Year 11 and 12 group achieved first place with a score of 31/32. The following week our Year 9 and 10 team won their event, this time achieving a

perfect score. At the same time, the Year 7 and 8 team was at Trinity College competing against 42 teams. They scored equal first with 26/32 (after a very difficult set of questions) and won their age category by a single point in the tie-breaker round. On Saturday, 23 March at Penrhos College, six of our Junior School students participated in the competition against 14 other teams and had a very successful day, achieving another first place for the College. This win meant that All Saints’ placed first in all four age categories of the Have Sum Fun F2F – which has never happened before in the history of the Competition! “These students are constantly developing their teamwork and problem-solving skills in Mathematics and every subject area we offer at All Saints’ College,” said Senior School Mathematics teacher, Mrs Monique Ellement. “They should be extremely proud of their achievements. The teams are selected based not only on the students’ abilities, but also on knowing how they work with each other.”

year. This initiative is a unique careers event, designed to showcase the resources industry to female secondary school students and provide an opportunity for them to interact with industry representatives. Year 10 students, Kelly Briggs, Addy Chambers and Tara Mishra, along with ASC Futures’ Facilitator, Ms Grace Itzstein, attended this year’s event which was expanded by CME to a half-day careers forum. “The day involved a keynote speaker, an amazing hands-on team activity, a delicious light morning tea, an insightful expo with people talking about their companies, and some great group conversations with very inspiring women telling us about what their job entails and how they got there,” said Kelly, Addy and Tara.

“It was an invaluable experience which made us more aware of the wide range of careers and opportunities available to us in the mining sector.” Enjoying a similar opportunity in Term 1, eight budding female scientists from All Saints’ participated in the inaugural Girls in Science Forum co-hosted by Curtin University, the Telethon Kids Institute and L’Oréal Australia. The fully-booked event saw around 300 female secondary school students from across the state further develop their passion for science by hearing presentations from some of Australia’s most inspiring female scientists. Year 10 student, Holly Baker, said that by attending this event, she got a taste of university life and learnt about different

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers. “Hearing from the panellists in the Q&A about their different jobs and where they think STEM careers are going in the future, really inspired me. I learnt so much and it was overall a very fun day!” reflected Holly. Ms Itzstein arranged the opportunity for our ASC group to attend, and accompanied them to this event. “The girls came away feeling very empowered, knowing that they can do anything they choose with their lives. Each speaker shared a story and included challenges they had to face; they didn’t allow obstacles (least of all gender) to stand in the way of what they wanted in life,” said Ms Itzstein.


PROJECT STEM TEAMS DEVELOP AI CONCEPTS FOR A BETTER WORLD Through the College’s interdisciplinary elective Project STEM, our Year 9 and 10 students are able to collaborate, think creatively, investigate and develop solutions to authentic, real-world problems. Our Project STEM classes explored Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the ethics and applications of AI during Term 2 by participating in the national AI for Good Challenge, sponsored by Microsoft Australia and run by Education Changemakers. Over two months, the classes learnt about AI and the ethics behind the technology as they worked in small groups to develop innovative concepts focussing on one of the three challenge categories: AI for Earth, AI for Accessibility or AI for Humanitarian Action. To further their understanding of AI, a group of our students and teachers Ms Catherine Donnelly and Ms Samantha Rees, as well as students and teachers from various other schools in WA, participated in a ‘Hackathon’ event at The University of Western Australia.

Those who attended this event returned to ASC to share their experience and knowledge about AI with their classes. They then continued to develop and refine their innovative AI projects using the designthinking framework. Students submitted their AI concepts into the AI for Good Challenge at the end of the term, and the College was delighted to have three of the eight teams in the WA finals. Held at the Perth Microsoft office on Wednesday, 31 July, students had three minutes to present their AI concepts to a group of judges and other finalists, and then answer questions from the audience. In the AI for Earth category, Charlotte George, Lauren Pitcher and Michelle Williams (Year 10) pitched their idea of an app that scans the barcode of products to determine how they would contribute to oceanic pollution. Our team of Year 9 boys, Andrew Newton and Harrison O’Dea-Credaro, focussed on the AI for Accessibility category and presented their idea of a device to alert drivers with hearing impairments that an emergency services vehicle is within 500m of their location.

Our final ASC State finalist team of Kaile Hong and Kelly Snow (Year 10) also focussed on the AI for Accessibility category, pitching the ‘Braille Reader’ – a device that would scan text and translate it to Braille on a screen for the user to then read using their finger. We congratulate all three of our All Saints’ teams on their professional presentations and well-articulated concepts. Our students were commended by the judges for developing innovative and world-changing AI concepts, and received a Second and two Third places in the Challenge. Our Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, said AI is an increasingly daunting topic, and for students to be tackling it confidently and ethically is valuable for their generation and demonstrates their future-focussed mindset. “The students’ ability to harness AI’s enormous potential, while grappling with the many ethical issues it will inevitably raise, is inspiring, and we are very proud of the work our students and staff are already doing in this space,” said Ms Provis.

STUDENTS AND STAFF LEVEL UP THEIR SKILLS IN ‘TECH ALLIES’ The rapid evolution of technology can be daunting, but All Saints’ College is embracing the future and empowering our staff and young people with the knowledge to confidently use digital tools and resources to enhance their teaching and learning. Through the Tech Allies program launched earlier this year, Senior School students and staff have levelled up their technology skills and explored digital learning tools in a relaxed and friendly environment. Initiated at the College by Learning Support Education Assistant, Mrs Rebecca Chapman, the weekly Tech Allies sessions cover a diversity of digital tools and resources. “The program is designed to be practical and hands-on, so that students and staff will feel they can apply their learning straight away and hopefully even go on to share their new knowledge with others,” said Mrs Chapman. “We all live such busy lives that all too often we miss the chance to get the best out of the

Tech Allies provides a friendly opportunity to slow down, ask questions, explore and experiment, while receiving support from knowledgeable and non-judgemental helpers,” she added. Throughout Terms 2 and 3, attendees delved into the world of technology and, among other topics, they explored Outlook Calendar, Microsoft Teams, Smart Tools for editing and writing in Microsoft Word, Audio and Video Recordings, Dictation and Speechnotes. The response so far to Tech Allies has been very positive, with many students and staff of all skill levels expressing their gratitude for the opportunity and time to receive technology support and new information.

‘ICT SuperTeam’. These sessions run every Tuesday morning before school in the Junior School Library, with the Junior School students sharing their ICT passion and expertise with staff, parents and students using a variety of creativity-based digital tools. “I feel very fortunate to be a part of a community that is so excited about creating learning opportunities such as Tech Allies. To drop into a session is a wonderful way to ‘look up, look out’ at the possibilities around us and ‘lean in’ to them,” said Mrs Chapman.

Tech Allies will continue in Term 4 during Thursday lunchtimes in the Senior School Library, covering more educational technology tools. Senior School staff and students are invited to attend every week or just for one session, as there is no commitment to attend. Already since its launch, a second branch of the Tech Allies has commenced in the Junior School led by a team of clever and enthusiastic students who call themselves the

DJAALINY COMMUNITY EXTENSION PROGRAM The College’s Djaaliny Community Learning Program supports lifelong learning and curiosity by providing a range of educational presentations and workshops for our parents and guardians, students, staff and the wider public. Earlier this year, we were delighted to launch a new aspect of our commun ity program – a range of adult (ages 18+) learning extension courses held each term on the College campus over six-week blocks – designed to supp ort our community’s pursuit of knowledg e and skills. Our extension program kicked off in early May with two courses which covered very different (but topical) areas of interest: Coding and Spanish. Coding 101 for Parents saw expert Fire Tech Australia instructors guide parents through their Coding

course, helping them to learn basi c programming skills and coding logic using Python. Meanwhile, participa nts in Spanish for Beginners were introduced to the second most spok en language in the world by Mrs San dra Pineda, a native of Latin American who has taught Spanish in Australia from more than 24 years. Following the success of our Term 2 Spanish course, we were pleased to run a subsequent program in Term 3 for community members. In the Spanish Level 2 Culture and Conversation cour se, adults were immersed in music, danc es and food of Spain and Latin America, as they developed their linguistic skills. Later this month, we will begin our final extension programs for the year : a Spanish Level 3 course and Screen-printing workshop.

COLLECTING PRACTICAL DATA IN THE ‘REAL WORLD’

At a recent professional development presented by The University of Western Australia’s Geography Department, several professors highlighted the importance of undertaking practical fieldwork when making spatial decisions at tertiary level. Applying techniques of undertaking field research and interpreting data are extremely important skills that can be used in a wide number of profession s. During Term 3, all our Year 9 students had an opportunity to participate in fieldwork as part of their Geography studies in the Humanities and Social Science (HASS) course. Fieldwork is an important compon ent of the subject, enabling students to learn about the natural and human-

modified environment, and providing real-world observations, data collection, analysis, assessments and decision-making practices. Ultimately, we have considered the degree of modification required for growing specific foods and considere d issues of food security. Students then used thinking skills and independent research to make informed decisions about the most suitable site for a vegetable gard en. Students collected data and examined the type, structure and pH of the soil, the microclimate conditions, the types of flora and fauna and biome that exist within the All Saints’ College grounds. Our Year 9s were able to use the data gathered to validate decisions about their vegetable gardens and consider the modifications that humans make to their environments to enhance food security. Ms Trish Harris

Head of HASS

“It was really good to be able to find the data ourselves instead of just getting some (given to us); it helped me understand the concept of Geography and the factors that affect it.”

“It was a good project to go outside and do someth ing practical.”

PRE-PRIMARY Last year, Pre-Primary D engaged in an inquiry where they germinated seeds and successfully grew a range of vegetables in garden beds at the College. At a Garden Open Day, the students sold pumpkin seedlings to family members, and used the profits to purchase hygiene products for The Salvation Army. To continue this wonderful learning journey, our current Pre-Primary D students picked the capsicums that had been growing in the garden. While they were doing so, they talked about what the capsicums could be used for, and Lola eagerly said: “Miss Dalecki, we can cook with them”. Under the expert guidance of Mr Ross Davis (Lola’s father and an Executive Chef at Zafferano Restaurant), the Pre-Primary class cooked a pasta dish using the capsicums

they picked from the garden. Once they had finished cooking, the students helped dish it up and were joined by the Year 1s to share the meal they had all played a part in creating. The cross-curriculum priority of sustainability was demonstrated during this inquiry as the children saw how their food was grown organically, how it was cleaned and prepared and then eaten. This shows our students how the natural environment sustains us, and helps them to appreciate and respect the natural environment. With some clever thinking from Macey in Pre-Primary D and help from the Year 1s, the students returned to the garden beds and replanted the seeds they removed from the capsicums. They are looking forward to harvesting more capsicums and other fruits.

Zafferano and Pre-Primary D’s Pepperonata Overs Recipe: Family of Four (Dinner) Ingredients: • 350g of your favourite Pasta • 30ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil • 1 Red Onion (chopped fine) • 2 Cloves of Garlic (crushed) • 1 Red Capsicum (chopped) • 1 Green Capsicum (chopped) • 500g Chopped Tomato • 1 x 840g Jar Roasted Red Peppers (chopped) • 30g Fresh Basil • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method: Sweat onion and garlic until soft and translucent. Add raw capsicum, tomatoes and chopped peppers and cook for another five minutes. Cook until thick and glossy. Season and serve.


YEAR 7 YEAR 3

As part of the Chemistry component of the Science curriculum, Year 7 had the opportunity to undertake an inquiry into separation techniques. For this inquiry, we chose to investigate reverse osmosis.

Our Year 3 students have been developing their understanding of heat and energy this year, as part of the Western Australian Science Curriculum. Through collaborative inquiry-based projects, the students have investigated how heat can be produced through motion, electricity and chemically.

Reverse osmosis is the process of filtering liquids (for example salt water) and removing all contaminants in it. This process is commonly used in desalination plants. To further understand this process, we were able to teach other members of our class by conducting an experiment in Term 2.

The classes enjoyed exploring how heat or thermal energy can be transferred or retained by learning about the difference between insulators and conductors. Their knowledge of heating and cooling was deepened in the ‘real world’ when they went on a tour of the College campus facilities with Mr Philip Gale (ASC Facilities Manager). The Year 3s heat inquiry culminated with the students designing some creative and carefully-considered, energy-efficient classrooms using the principles of conduction and insulation.

YEAR 6 During Term 3, our Year 6 cohort engaged in a rich inquiry which linked to their learning in Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS). Guided by our College Values – Empathy, Respect, Integrity and Courage (ERIC) – the students explored the topic of migration. This inquiry was launched at the beginning of the term with parents and family members visiting the classrooms to share their stories of migration with the students – a powerful tool to get the students engrossed in this investigation. As they embarked on various project-based experiences, the students’ learning was guided by various inquiry questions. The final products that the students produced were diverse and answered the question, ‘Why is Australia home to so many different nationalities?’. Their projects included sculptures, paintings, poems, narratives and books.

Using the Water Corporation website, we used tubing called visking dialysis tubing (tubing that has very small holes in it) and put salt and water on the inside. We then applied pressure to this and recorded the weight as the water was removed. Through this experience, we managed to add to our knowledge of this interesting process. David Duff and Riley Snook Year 7

In the final week of Term 3, students were able to share their deep understanding and what they had learned over this journey with their parents and families when they visited the Year 6 classrooms once again. It was a wonderful conclusion to the term and this inquiry.

During the July school holidays, Charlotte George (Year 10) and Kavya Ranaweera (Year 9) travelled to Kuantan, Malaysia for the 27th International Athletics Championships, after qualifying through the WA Little Athletics Track and Field Championships.

“It was such an eye-opener to walk the footsteps of famous musicians. We visited Mozart’s birthplace in Salzburg, the place where Haydn’s masterpieces were created in Eisenstadt, and travelled to Baden where Beethoven composed many works,” she added.

The girls arrived in Kuantan with the group of athletes on Monday, 8 July and the following day enjoyed some sightseeing and shopping before familiarising themselves with the track. The competition was held over the next two days in hot and humid conditions.

This year was not the first time Joy has performed in the Golden Key Music Festival. In 2011, she auditioned and was invited to perform at the United States event in New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall.

Despite a sporting injury which prevented her from training before the event, Charlotte felt fortunate to attend the trip and compete in the 800m event where she received third place and a bronze medal.

“I made many friends and tried nearly all the local desserts in Vienna. It was such a fun-filled week and an unforgettable time.”

The highlight for me was meeting athletes from Malaysia and Singapore, and developing friendships with my WA teammates,” added Charlotte. Kavya was also overcoming an injury with seven stitches in one leg, but this didn’t hinder her from competing at the competition and throwing a personal best of 12.20m, winning a silver medal in Shot Put. Kavya also competed well in Discus, throwing another personal best of 33m and placing fourth. “The experience of competing internationally was amazing; it was so different from competing back home. The camaraderie between the teams and between the competitors was so inspiring,” said Kavya. “At the end of the competition we exchanged shirts with the other countries. This experience will definitely be one that I will never forget!” added Kavya.

RHEA MAKESAR (YEAR 8) European Tennis Tour – Germany

Year 8 student, Rhea Makesar, was among four female players and the only West Australian selected by Tennis Australia to participate in the 2019 European Trip to Germany from 16 July–13 August. This was the first international tennis tour for Rhea which saw her compete in three prestigious international tournaments on clay in Germany: the TC Waiblingen Academy Junior International, Müller Junior Cup and Bavarian Junior Open in the U14 category. Reflecting on her experience, Rhea said she was privileged to participate in these international tournaments with players from all over the world and was pleased with her performance. “I played well in the tournaments, especially in the last one where I came

in the top eight, which was the best result achieved in the U14 category,” said Rhea. She also thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of the trip, despite the long hours of travelling and intense training sessions. “Besides the exigency of hectic travel from one tournament to the other, I managed to learn a bit of German and made lots of friends. The days were super long and tough, with three hours of practice and fitness every day, but this generated good team spirit!” she added. “I learnt to look after my mind and my body in the toughest of times, to pay attention to my fitness and to deal with injuries. It was a massive step for me in terms of individual international travel. The trip has been the highlight in my tennis career so far, as it was my first international tour – hopefully many more are to come.”

Skilled Year 11 football player, Miranda Templeman, travelled to the Pacific Islands and Thailand this year after being selected to represent Australia in the Women’s U17 National Football Team (known as the Junior Matildas). Miranda’s first international trip with the squad was to Tonga, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands from 5–16 August on the Pacific Step Up Tour. The Junior Matildas was the first Australian National Football Team to travel to the Pacific in 14 years, as a result of funding from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade which sought to help affirm our nation’s relationship with the region. On the tour, Miranda played in the goalkeeper position for the Junior Matildas, who competed against the U19 Women’s National Teams in each country. They also conducted several coaching and refereeing workshops and skills clinics with local communities.

“I was privileged enough to Captain the team on my debut against Tonga. This wasn’t something I was expecting being new to the squad, but definitely a highlight of the tour,” she added. Unfortunately due to an injury late in the first game, Miranda was unable to compete or train for the remainder of the tour. “The injury didn’t stop me from enjoying the beautiful places we visited, with an amazing group of talented young players.” The following month, Miranda was one of five West Australians to represent the country in women’s football – this time travelling to Thailand with the Junior Matildas for the 2019 Asian Football Confederation U16 Women’s Championship. The Australian team performed exceptionally well in the Championships against some tough competition, finishing fourth overall. Congratulations to Miranda for winning ‘Australian Player of the Match’ in the Japan vs Australia game, and for all her football success this year. The future is looking bright for Miranda!

TWO YEAR 6 PIANISTS WIN JOINT FIRST PLACE AT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

HEAD OF PROPELLER SPOTLIGHTED ON THE NATIONAL EDUCATOR’S ‘HOT LIST’

The probability of having joint winners from the same country, city, school and year group at an international competition seems highly unlikely. Yet, incredibly, this occurred when two of our Year 6 students, Jing Quan Chong and Nicole Li, were awarded joint first place at the International Piano Contest ‘Ville de Gagny’ held in France.

All Saints’ College is proud to announce that a member of our staff community, Ms Laura Strentz (English teacher and Head of Propeller Industries/ Innovat[ED]), was recognised on The Educator’s fourth annual ‘Hot List’ for her dedication to entrepreneurial learning.

our students with a co-lab and maker space where they are able to be curious, creative and develop future-focussed skills to become leaders of the 21st century.

Following a rigorous nomination process, the magazine selected 50 education professionals from schools, universities and industry who are “representing the cutting edge of educational excellence in Australia”.

In her role at the College, Laura also leads Innovat[ED] for Years 7–10. This course, formerly known as Creative Industries, empowers students to develop critical and creative thinking, as well as entrepreneurial and innovation skills, by engaging in project-based experiences.

Jing Quan and Nicole competed against 15 pianists aged 8 to 12 from countries across the world in the ‘Young Talents’ category of the competition, held in Gagny, France on 9–12 April 2019. Both students performed a piece of music by J. S Bach in front of an audience and a panel of seven international judges. Jing Quan also performed Waltz in E Minor and Six Romanian Dances, while Nicole played Nightingale Variations.

Nicole also received two additional awards – the Special Prizes of ‘Prize J.S. Bach’ and ‘Prize Les Maitres du Piano’ – and prize money of €350, and was invited to perform at the Winner’s Concert in Gagny City Theatre. She was the only pianist across the four categories to win all three prizes. This was not the first time both students have been internationally recognised for their musical talents. Last year, Jing Quan was invited to perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall as part of the Golden Key Music Festival, while Nicole placed first at the 2018 Global Outstanding Chinese Artists Association Piano Competition in Shenzhen, China. Jing Quan and Nicole also sat a piano examination conducted by the Parisian music school Conservatoire International de Musique while in France, and both students obtained the highest possible grade. Congratulations to both students on these wonderful music achievements!

The Educator selected Laura as one of this year’s ‘Hot Listers’ for her promotion of student agency and entrepreneurial learning at the College through Propeller Industries (our Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) and our Innovat[ED] course. Laura has been the Head of Propeller Industries since it was established at the College in early 2017; providing

Propeller Industries is housed in ‘The Hangar’ which has developed under Laura’s leadership into a welcoming space for students and staff from across the College to collaborate, develop ideas and solve problems.

“ASC actively encourages staff and students to be innovative thinkers and to seek to make and embrace change for the betterment of the community. I have sought to model this in both my personal and professional growth,” Laura said. We thank Laura for her passionate approach to innovation at the College and congratulate her on this national recognition. THE DOVE GOAL 2

ASC TAKES

Chongqing

to the world

All Saints’ College was proud to have been offered 10 fully-funded places for our students to attend the inaugural and invitation-only Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship Education (ICEE) Summer Camp in Chongqing, China.

Using their individual talents and interests, the international and Chinese students identified and developed solutions for authentic problems. In the process, the young people from various cultures developed their leadership, communication and collaboration skills as they served as both teachers and learners in their groups.

Conceived and designed by Prof Yong Zhao (Patron of the College’s Beyond Boundaries Advisory Group), the ICEE Summer Camp focussed on developing globally-competent, innovative, creative and entrepreneurial youth.

In addition to developing products and services, our students and College staff – Dr Jim Mullaney, Ms Samantha Rees and Ms Laura Strentz – enjoyed immersing in the Chinese culture by visiting landmarks, sightseeing, shopping, sampling traditional cuisine, and keeping cool in the 40-degree humid weather.

From 16–31 August 2019, students from Australia, the United States and England worked alongside local Chinese students to design and develop creative products and services that could help the world better understand the vibrant city of Chongqing.

THE DOVE GOAL 3

Some of the College’s ICEE participants shared their experience of the camp on the following pages.

In August this year, 10 All Saints’ students boarded a plane to Chongqing, China with no idea about what we were going to experience. There were 40 international students – all from Australia, America and England – and 200 local Chinese students from Chongqing. The days were made up of teaching the local students English, designing our products and playing games with the kids. The product that my Production House (a group with about 20 Chinese students and four international students) worked on was the Food of Chongqing coffee table book. We worked in our guild (a group of five Chinese students and one international student) to create a few pages each for the coffee table book. The four international students in the Production House helped with teaching concepts to the students and assisting them with their English. I think we all learned a lot from this experience and definitely got a lot better at charades! Samara Ainge (Year 9)

Our experience at the ICEE Summer Camp in Chongqing was a truly incredible and unique one. Over the two-and-a-half weeks we worked in groups of about 24 (20 Chinese students and four International students) to create authentic products that could help ‘Take Chongqing to the World’. The products we developed included coffee table books, music videos, documentaries and tourist guides, all of which we created by following the Entrepreneurial Cycle. We worked as mentors with the local students to help them develop their English skills and discovered some of the steps that go into creating an effective product. Outside the classroom, we had a lot of fun exploring some of the sights of Chongqing, trying the signature food of the city (Hot Pot), and playing sports and games with both local and international students. I have grown and learnt a lot from all these varied experiences, but a key thing I have come away with is a love for teaching (and a great appreciation for all the work that teachers have to do, having now experienced it a little for myself). I have also greatly developed my independence and teamwork skills, and have made many new friends from all over the world, who I hope to continue working with on other projects and catch up with again on other camps.

When we arrived in Chongqing, we bussed to our home for the next 16 days! The school is three times the size of All Saints’ College, with an indoor gym, 14 basketball courts and many ping-pong tables! The dorm s were six-storey buildings alongside the fourstorey teaching blocks. In the auditorium and theatre, we presented to the Chinese students about Australia and the College. During the camp we stayed in dorm s with five local students who spoke little English, so it was hard to communicate with them at times. In the evenings, they would ask for help with their English homework, and we enjo yed sharing Aussie foods with them, inclu ding Tim Tams (which they loved). The group went on many cultural excu rsions during the two-and-a-half-week experienc e. The Dazu Rock Carvings, dating back to the 7th Century AD, were spectacular, with so much detail. That evening, we had spicy nood les,

bao, prawn dumplings and fried rice for dinner at an enjoyable restaurant and then wen t on a cruise through the main city. We took many photos of the fancy golden dragon boa t which had chandeliers and artworks, and enjo yed watching traditional Chinese performer s. We went on a field trip to an authentic Chinatown with many restaurants whic h prepared traditional foods such as nood les, dumplings and special lemon and oran ge juices. I bought all my group Satays and juices for only $20.00. The Black Mountain Valley was like a tropical jungle! We walk ed through winding paths on a mountain with wate rfalls and streams, and enjoyed a traditiona l Hot Pot for dinner! I had the spiciest Hot Pot and also ate a whole chilli.

IN OUR JUNIOR SCHOOL LIBRARY Our Junior School Librar y ha s been enhanced in recent tim es to become a hub for makin g, designing and literacy, where our students are able to enga ge in different types of learning , so necessary for today’s world .

Recently, we developed a STE M lending collection in our Junior School Library, so that students and their parents or guardians can upskill themselves in the areas of Science, Technology, Enginee ring and Mathematics (STEM). We thank the generosity of our community who contributed to the 2019 Annual Giving Campaign Library Fund, ena bling the College to expand the number of STEM resources available for loan in the Junior School (see page 72). Robots and electronic kits, clip -on microscopes for iPads and iPhones, Virtual Reality Google Cardboard sets, hands-on Mathematics and archaeolo gist kits, craft-

based engineering challenge sets and an indoors drone are some of the many items now available in our Junior School Library. “As more enquiries came our way from parents, we thought we would build up a collection for families to borrow , as libraries don’t just have to be about boo ks,” said Ms Brette Lockyer, our Junior Sch ool Library and ICT Literacy teacher. “We have included items whi ch encourage interaction in the hope that fam ilies will use these kits and resources tog ether. We envisage that parents will benefit by understanding more about STE M learning and, together with their childre n, they can experience the problem-solving, persistence, flexible thinking and computa tional thinking that these items can develop,” she added. As our STEM lending collecti on is all about hands-on and minds-on for the family to experience, we encourage par ents or guardians to visit the Junior Sch ool Library with their children before or afte r school to view and select items to borrow .

Newsletter

ENCOURAGES STUDENT VOICE 2019 saw the launch of Gnala: All Saints’ College Student Newsletter, a new online publication developed and produced by a committee of Senior School students who wanted to create a platform for them and their peers to have a voice. This idea for a student-led publication was initiated by the 2018 Academic Cap tain, Ashleigh Heng-Chin, who put things in place for the 2019 Publications Captain, Elise Anthony (Year 12), to continue this year . The 2019 Publications Committee picked up the baton for the newsletter in Febr uary and took inspiration from the Aborigin al culture when developing and determin ing the ethos of the publication. To hono ur our traditional landowners, they sele cted Gnala, which means ‘our’ in the Noo ngar language, as the name of the newslette r. “Storytelling plays an integral role in the Aboriginal culture; whose people valu e the

sharing of knowledge and stories betw een generations. In this newsletter we tell our stories,” said Elise. After months of meetings, collaboration and decision-making, interviewing and writin g stories, the student committee was delig hted to launch the inaugural edition of Gnala towards the end of Term 1 this year. Since then, they have published two more newsletters featuring engaging and interesting content prod uced solely by the students. “One of the intents of the newslette r is to promote awareness of current affa irs as well as an interest in the news, by providing students with a brief update on major headlines that focus on activ ities happening within All Saints’ and outs ide its borders.” “We hope the newsletter will continue to develop and become ‘a staple’ in the College community. It is a spac e for All Saints’ students to share our idea s, opinions and experiences.”


The Agency DEVELOPS ‘REAL-WORLD’ SKILLS Launched earlier this year at All Saints’ College, The Agency – an initiative of our Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute (BBI) – provides opportunities for interested students at ASC to apply for paid tasks and develop their skills in authentic real-world contexts.

ENTREPRENEURIAL STUDENTS DEVELOP STUDY WEBSITE Three of our entrepreneuriallyminded Year 10 students used their creativity, skills and talents to produce a student-developed, student-led website called Twenty Twenty One, focussed on providing study advice for their year group (Class of 2021) and the rest of the Senior School. After realising the best way for them to retain information and study was to teach others, Myles Keeffe, Ashley Lance and Michelle Thesman founded Twenty Twenty One so they could have a platform to upload study materials for their class to access. “The website is designed to foster a community in which students can take control of their learning and have an opportunity to help others with their studies. Twenty Twenty One is designed to be a tool to assist alongside regular study, in the same way tutoring might – whether you’re the teacher or the student,” Myles, Ashley and Michelle said. “We hope that Twenty Twenty One encourages a desire to learn and share knowledge within a supporting and active community, no matter what your skill level might be,” they added. Myles, Ashley and Michelle worked over a year to develop Twenty Twenty One and officially launched the website in October 2018 to their cohort. They plan to unveil

48

THE DOVE GOAL 3

the website to the rest of the Senior School community in the near future. Every year group will have access to all aspects of the same website, with the content being organised according to the subject and year group. This community-focussed initiative is overseen by the three students with an authorship program of a team of Year 10s helping to contribute content for the website. In the future, Myles, Ashley and Michelle intend to open the process so that all students are encouraged to participate and contribute study advice. “Student-created content tends to be more engaging and concise to young people of the same age than your average textbook materials,” Myles, Ashley and Michelle said. “We hope that all students, no matter what level, can benefit from a tool like this and feel comfortable sharing their knowledge within the community. After we leave school, hopefully the website will continue to be used and developed, with other students finding ways to innovate and improve our current design.” We congratulate Myles, Ashley and Michelle on the launch of their innovative study website which benefits all Senior School students. Twenty Twenty One is one of the many great examples of student agency at All Saints’ – where our students are empowered to take an active role in their learning and use their strengths and talents for the betterment of our community.


Tell us a little about yourself and your entrepreneurial bus iness? I’m young and passionate, with some calling me a ‘serial entrepreneur’. I have a large knowledge of and love for coffee, which is one of the reasons I started Drip Coffee (Drip), an all-vegan coffeehouse offering treats and more ish coffee. I have such an attention to detail, that if my dosages, yields and shot times don’t produce the taste I’m after, I’ll open 15–20 minutes later just to ensure the quality of the extraction is perfect.

Entrepreneur ‘SPOTLIGHT ON’

All Saints’ College aims to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in our students by encouraging them to pursue their individual interests, abilities, passions and skills. To support the College’s culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, we celebrate and put the spotlight on student entrepreneurs and innovators in our community who have developed their own enterprises. In this edition of The Dove, we focus our attention on Jack Westerman (Year 12) who at the ripe old age of 17 can be described as a ‘serial entrepreneur’, having developed and successfully launched multiple businesses, including an internet service provider, online radio station and file hosting website.

Jack’s latest venture is Drip Coffee (Drip), an all-vegan coffee house launched earlier this year. Drip, located inside Roho Bure Vegan Ice Cream store in South Fremantle, operates Wednesday to Friday (12.00pm–5.00pm, 6.30pm– 10.00pm) and on Saturday and Sunday (7.00am–2.00pm). While most young people are taking advantage of the weekends to sleep in and rest, Jack is up early at Drip, sharing his passion for vegan coffee and treats, and inspiring others with his entrepreneurial and innovative mindset. We enjoyed speaking with Jack about how he started his latest business and what words of wisdom he has for inspiring entrepreneurs.

What inspired you to launch this business? After many visits to Roho Bure Vegan Ice Cream for the amazing banana salted caramel ice cream, I got talking to the owner, Geo rgina, and proposed the idea of Drip Coffee to her – and the rest is history! When and how did you get your business up and running?

Drip launched on 4 May 2019 with great success. As for how I got it all up and running – it took a lot of planning and loads of mishaps! The coffee machine was only plugged into the fuse box the day before launch – so thank you to Danny, the electrician. I was at the shop until 1.00am getting everything prep ared and sorted, and back at 5.00am for the launch. It took a lot of hard work, and long hours – but it’s slowly paying off. I continue to do 15-hour plus working days when needed. What advice would you give another student who has an entrepreneurial idea and wan ts to start their own business? Just go for it! For me personally, whet her successful or not, I’d rather say I tried than never bothered. And to do so show s just the type of person you are. There are a lot of thinkers who don’t implement or make their idea become a reality. What is the best way for peo ple to learn more about your busines s?

YEAR 9 INNOVATORS DEVELOP WEBSITE FOR A NOT-FOR-PROFIT Students in the Year 9 Innovation in Digital Technology class shared their knowledge, creativity and skills to help others when they created website prototypes for the not-for-profit organisation, Hear Hear for Bhutan (HHfB). This project came about as a result of our connection with Prof Helen Wildy, who is a member of the College’s Beyond Boundaries Advisory Group, and who is passionate about developing the hearing and literacy of school students in Bhutan. Prof Wildy is the driving force behind the development of HHfB and one of six professional volunteer directors of the organisation.

50

THE DOVE GOAL 3

As our Year 9 Innovation in Digital Technology class was learning how to use HTML 5 and CSS around the same time that HHfB wanted to establish a website, it seemed only fitting for our students to provide support to the organisation while engaging in a valuable product-orientated task. At the beginning of the project, the class had an opportunity to meet with Prof Wildy and learn more about HHfB, their new client, and what the organisation required from a new website. They came prepared with questions, having already researched other websites to understand what features they may need to use in their designs. Throughout Term 2, the students worked in small groups and followed a Technology Process to design, produce, implement and

then evaluate their projects. They utilised problem-solving, decision-making, and critical and creative thinking skills to create some professional website designs for HHfB. Prof Wildy visited the class on several occasions to provide further guidance to the groups and see how they were progressing with their proposals. In late July, she met with the students one final time to announce the group’s design which would be used for the HHfB website. We congratulate Year 9 students, Aidan Lindsay, Alex Phillips and Maahin Raina, for developing the winning prototype. The students reflected on the experience, saying they enjoyed working as a team and learning about the people of Bhutan who are living with hearing loss.

“We gained many valuable skills from this experience, such as how to develop a better website and how to work for a client to make a product. We received a lot of feedback from Prof Wildy; every time we showed her our website, she always made a lot of recommendations, which was helpful,” they said. The College was delighted to be able to partner with Prof Wildy to support this worthy organisation and provide an opportunity for our Year 9 students to use a social conscience as they develop their knowledge and skills in a real-world context. We thank Mrs Fiona Bassett (ICT teacher) for leading the class, and Mr Ian Mackay-Scollay (Director of ICT) who is now working with a College parent to combine the students’ prototype into a Wordpress website.


PLAY THERAPY ORGANISATION ENLISTS THE EXPERTISE OF TECH STUDENTS As the College continues to develop a culture of experimentation, innovation and enterprise, we aim to provide more opportunities for our students to engage in entrepreneurial learning by developing real-world products for an authentic audience beyond All Saints’. Our Year 11 Applied Information Technology (AIT) students embarked on an authentic project-based learning task in Term 2, which was to create a new logo for Play Therapy, a local not-for-profit organisation. The students were able to use their project management and design skills with a ‘real client’ who had specific requirements. Using their knowledge and practical skills in the real-world context, the students developed some unique and creative designs which were presented to the client.

Year 11 AIT student Logan Gregory’s logo was chosen by the organisation, and will now be used on Play Therapy merchandise and equipment in Australia and Asia. Logan thoroughly enjoyed the project and was surprised to learn that his design was selected. “The experience was so valuable. When you get to work for a real client, the expectations become so much more tangible, and our whole class stepped up to meet the challenge. Everyone’s designs were so great, and it was amazing for mine to be chosen,” said Logan.

“It was so interesting to see how we put the classwork we had done through the year into practical use. Having this opportunity enlightened me as to how the world works when it comes to this field of study, and I can only hope this opportunity arises for other students as well,” he added.

some general knowledge questions on topics such as Mythology, Music, Geography and Movies. In between rounds, community members received awards for best-dressed, enjoyed various games, and had an opportunity to bid on some great items in the Silent Auction. “A special thank you to our major sponsors of the night – the Raffles Hotel for providing the first prize voucher and Towner Finance (College family business) for providing the signed Wildcats jersey for the Silent Auction, as well as to Stanlee Hospitality Supplies and Gourmet Trader (both College family businesses) for providing prizes for the Raffle,” said Mrs Stickells. Due to the generosity of attendees who purchased items in the Silent Auction and tickets for the Raffle, $3 018.50 was raised and donated to Teach Learn Grow (TLG). As one

BUSINESS DIRECTORY ‘SPO TLIGHT ON’ All Saints’ College prides itself on fostering connections within our vibrant community made up of students, parents and guardians, staff and Old Saints .

Established last year, the All Saints’ College Business Director y (alls aints. wa.edu.au/community/busin essdirector y) has helped many businesses and entrepreneurs promote thei r business, service or place of employm ent, regardless of industr y. In this edition of The Dove, we turn our attention to one particular bus iness in our College Director y: Walk Thru Floor Plans, a WA company that allo ws clients to walk through a projection of their building designs. The first of its kind in Western Australia, the business projects true-to-size building

plans on a warehouse floor and wall, creating a 3-dimensional exp erience and enabling corporate clients and homebuilders to see and wa lk through their designs. The technology used at Walk Thru Floor Plans means major and potentially expensive change s can be made before construction. Walk Thru Floor Plans Manag ing Director, Mr Chadd Heatley (Class of 1994), is an Old Saint and current College parent who launche d the company in July. Inspired by seeing a similar concept and recogni sing there was nothing like it in Perth, Cha dd and his wife, Mrs Nicole Hea tley (née Springer, Class of 1995), who is also an Old Saint, set up the busines s. Since then, the technology Wa lk Thru Floor Plans provides has bee n used for restaurant designs to help crea te a good

Walk Thru Floor Plans are curr ently working with Disability Living to help those with mobility issues identify whe ther plans for their home allow them to move around the house with ease. Over the past year (and thanks to the funding from our Parents and Friends’ Society), All Saints’ College has seen the Business Directory initiative exp and and maintain our active community connections.

THE TEAM BEHIND OUR COMMUNITY LIVE STREAMING SERVICE With so many activities and events taking place at the College on any given day, we understand that parents and guardians aren’t always able to attend, and so for this and many other reasons, All Saints’ introduced a Live Streaming service for our community two years ago. The concept began in 2016 when the College’s Theatre Manager (Facilities/ Administration), Mr Adrian Arnold, was keen to repurpose old spare equipment to set up an ENG (electronic news gathering) rig. Mr Arnold was involved with the first live streaming studio in Perth, as part of the commissioning of the North Metropolitan TAFE film school in 1978. During a Careers session run by Ms Grace Itzstein (ASC Futures’ Facilitator) where Central

56

THE DOVE GOAL 4

TAFE representatives presented their technology at the College, it became apparent that All Saints’ could develop the same. Mr Arnold began working alongside College parent, Mr John Levingston, who offered to assist in developing the side-output network, and Mr Ben Dahlstrom (ASC Director of Marketing and Community Relations) who recognised the benefits of this service for community engagement. Mr Arnold and Mr Levingston then developed the rig and the system which was trialled at the College in Term 3, 2017, with a group of staff, parents and students working together to live-stream the annual Junior School and Senior School Interhouse Athletics Carnivals. The team brought together footage and audio from a commentary desk, drones, mobile phones and static video cameras (all located onsite at the oval) into a mixing desk.

Since then, the team has taken on board many additional aspects of live streaming, including class and year group sessions, sports events, assemblies and various other school events as requested. The group was even involved in live-streaming the College’s Production of Grease onto a ‘Drive-In’ screen on the stage during the show – allowing audiences to see different and often unseen perspectives of the performance. Currently the Live Streaming team is led by Mr Arnold, Mr Levingston, Mr Dahlstrom, Mr Greg Port (ASC Head of ICT Integration), Mr Noah Gliosca (ASC Technology and AV Assistant) and Mr Brad Lucas (ASC ICT Infrastructure Manager), with Centre for Performing Arts and ICT staff, parent volunteers and a student team led by Liam Levingston (Year 12). There are around 15 Senior School students who take part in the Live Streaming team, many of whom study Media as a subject.

The team is currently developing their third ENG rig. Therefore, in combination with the current system in place in the Centre for Performing Arts, the College is now able to capture, mix and stream events from both fixed and mobile locations. The next stage will encompass Fibre optics for networking with more cameras located around the College, giving greater flexibility to the scope of what ASC’s Live Streaming team can achieve. Parents and guardians can see which upcoming College events will be livestreamed and view previous live streams by visiting MyASC and clicking on the Live Streaming button: https://myasc.ascollege.wa.edu.au


Connecting TO THE PARISH

All Saints’ College enjoys many wonderful connections with the Bull Creek-Leeming Anglican Parish, the most obvious link being the shared use of our Chapel for their weekly services. In early April, we were pleased once again to host the Parish’s annual charity Knit-In event at the College in our Lower Theatre. This celebration brings together knitting and crocheting enthusiasts who spend 12 months creating warm items to donate to various charities. Another event which helps strengthen the partnership between the College and Parish is our Stations of the Cross Exhibition which commemorates Jesus Christ’s final day. This exhibition was developed several years ago by Parish Priest, Rev Bruce Hyde, who after reading Mark Pierson’s book, The Art of Curating Worship, wanted to create a more experiential way for the College and Parish communities to engage in the Easter message. For the exhibition, our students in Year 9 Visual Arts and Years 5 and 6 Religion and

Philosophy created special artworks during Term 1. These works portrayed the students’ interpretations of the 14 Stations or devotions of Jesus’ journey to his death. The Year 9s conveyed the meanings of each Station using mixed media on wooden support frames, while our Junior School students worked with paints and pastels to develop their 2D representations. The Stations of the Cross Exhibition was installed in the foyer of the College’s Centre for Performing Arts for a week in early April, allowing our community members to connect to the story in a personal way.

All the Junior School paintings and drawings were then relocated to a pop-up space in the Stockland Bull Creek Shopping Centre from 13–17 April. This mini-exhibition was managed by parishioners and provided an opportunity for the wider community to experience the works in the lead up to Easter. At the Bull Creek-Leeming Anglican Parish’s service on Good Friday, the artworks became a creative focal point at each station as parishioners reflected upon the powerful story of Jesus’ death for our lives.

In today’s digital world, capturing those special moments in life through images is much easier and more accessible. In order to keep our All Saints’ College grandparents up to date with the latest camera technology, we provided an intensive three-hour Photography Workshop earlier this year, so that they were able to learn how to use Canon DSLR (digital) equipment with their grandchildren. Held during the April school holidays, the workshop was led by expert photography tutors from Fire Tech, a leading tech education provider with which we have developed a thriving partnership over recent years.

Grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed learning the basics of portrait photography by taking pictures of each other at three different stations located inside and outside our Lower Theatre. Studio ‘softbox lighting’ added a touch of professionalism, whilst props provided fun and laughter, as the two generations bonded over photography. At the conclusion of the workshop, each attendee selected an image to be printed and received a family USB with all their photographs from the day, as well as a certificate of completion of the workshop. We will continue to offer these types of experiences for our grandparents to learn new skills and spend quality time with their grandchildren on the College campus.

YOUNG PEOPLE UPSKILLED IN COMMUNITY HOLIDAY PROGRAM All Saints’ College’s School Holiday Program was established four years ago to provide young people aged nine to 17 in the community with enriching and enjoyable experiences, where they can meet new friends and learn new skills. Each school holidays, the three-day program on the College campus is revitalised with diverse and topical activities that cater to the interests and needs of all children. These opportunities are run by qualified local suppliers and professionals. Our July School Holiday Program featured some new and exciting offerings, as well as popular experiences held in previous programs. Young people from the College community and surrounding suburbs were equipped with skills and knowledge for the future by taking part in barista training, working on their interview skills, elevator pitches and resume writing in our Career Development Workshop, and learning the building blocks of coding in the Minecraft Camp.

Other participants who took part in the program, held from 17–19 July, enjoyed physical activities including rock-climbing and parkour, or one of the many Winter Wonderland craft, baking and Science workshops. Also, for the first time, it snowed in Bull Creek! (Well, inside the mobile snow truck ‘Snow 2U’ it did!) This new activity was a highlight for all; for many children it was their first time seeing snow, building a snowman and going down a snow slide. In addition to our three-day School Holiday Program, All Saints’ partners with several organisations to run additional, more specialised, extended workshops for young people in the community. Fire Tech Australia and Code Camp facilitated some popular technology-based learning workshops, and Australian Sports Camps ran skill-development programs during the July break. With such varied and exciting activities on offer at All Saints’ during school breaks, it is no surprise to see so many young people choosing to spend part of their holidays at the College. There is something for everyone at our ASC School Holiday Program, and we look forward to welcoming some new faces to the campus next year.

guardians, grandparents, and Old Saints to reflect on aspects of the College’s past. In the second week of May, we celebrated our seventh Heritage Week, which focussed on the theme ‘Legacy’. Students reflected on the legacy left by thousands of Old Saints who have come before them to shape our community, and the part they would like to play in the College’s history. By participating in an Art Competition, Pre-Primary to Year 6 students were able to artistically express how they want to make their mark on the College and be remembered. A Pop-up Museum, House

Buzzer Quiz and Puzzle Challenge in the Junior School also celebrated our rich heritage and acknowledged several people who have left a lasting imprint at All Saints’. Our Old Saints are part of the College’s living heritage. The Committee plays a vital role in our community, providing immense support to Heritage Week over the past seven years. The Committee was pleased once again to facilitate many of the aforementioned activities in 2019, as well as host fundraising sausage sizzles and the annual Old Saints vs Students Heritage Week Sports Competition.

Our Heritage Coordinator, Mr John Beaverstock, is passionate about preserving the legacy and history of the College in our Archives facility where there is an abundance of records, artefacts, media and materials from the past 38 years since All Saints’ opened. “Knowing where the College has come from gives our community a sense of a shared story which all can share and be part of,” says Mr Beaverstock.

In 2018, Mr Noah Gliosca (Class of 2017) was employed as the inaugural Technology and General Ass istant Intern (now Technology and AV Ass istant), and earlier this year we welcomed four other former students as interns in the areas of Marketing and Community Rela tions, Arts/ Photography, Music, and Spo rt. In Term 3, we expanded our existing suite of subject-related interns to incl ude an Extension Mathematics Internsh ip to support the growing number of mathem aticallyskilled students in our Junior Sch ool. Miss Lucy Townsend (Class of 2011) was successfully appointed to this position and now works with our Junior School Mathematics extension classes, assisting Mrs Angela Janssens (Junior Sch ool Mathematics teacher).

After graduating from All Sai nts’, Lucy completed a Bachelor of Scie nce, majoring in Genetics and Path ology and Laboratory Medicine at The University of Western Australia. In the future, Lucy hopes to study a Master of Tea ching, so this internship is a wonderful opportunity for her to gain experience. “I am so grateful for this opportu nity to revisit my old school and influ ence students in the same way that I was influ enced when I was a student. I hope to go back to university and one day bec ome a secondary Mathematics and Science teacher at All Saints’,” said Lucy . “Working with Angela has really opened my mind to all the different ways you can teach Mathematics. It’s not just numbers on a page, it’s real life and all around us. I love working with the stud ents because they are so inquisi tive and want to learn more,” she added. “Some things around the Col lege have changed, like new building s and renovations, but the atmosphere and community feeling are still the same. I feel so welcomed here, both by staff and students. It might sound silly, but I feel like I’m home.”

COMMUNITY RE-CONNECTS FOR ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EXHIBITION For the past four years, All Saints’ College and the HotHouse Company has organised a fundraising exhibition to connect members of the ASC and wider communities through art, while raising much-needed funds for Nulsen Disability Services. Our 2019 Re-Connected Exhibition, sponsored by Oxlades, officially opened on Friday, 21 June in our Centre for Performing Arts featuring more than 150 artworks created by students, staff, Old Saints, parents and grandparents, as well as residents from Nulsen.

THE DOVE GOAL 4

This year’s participants were asked to feature recycled materials in their donated artwork, which also had to respond to the theme ‘Connected’. At the opening night, awards and prizes were presented to students who had used recycled materials in a creative and innovative way, and the Online Auction was launched with guests placing their first bids on artworks they admired. The auction was open for another few weeks, allowing those who were unable to attend the opening, with the opportunity to view and purchase artworks; all the profit from sales (around $1 800) was donated to Nulsen. We were delighted to have 24 people with disabilities who live at Nulsen homes create 89 works for this year’s Re-Connected

Exhibition during their art classes at the Victoria Park Centre for the Arts. These art classes, held over four weeks, were made possible by our 2018 Year 5 cohort which raised funds through their $2 Project last year. Covering many learning areas including Mathematics, Entrepreneurial Learning, Business and Economics, Service Learning and Civics and Citizenship, this task saw each student receive $2 of startup capital which they then used in creative ways to maximise their money for charity. To select the organisation (which would receive their significant contribution of $5 725), the Year 5s participated in an election with a number of our Senior School Service Learning leaders presenting to them as

‘candidates’ and advocating for the College’s various partners. Through a democratic vote, the Year 5s elected to donate their collective funds to Nulsen Disability Services. The College enjoys a strong partnership with Nulsen Disability Services, mainly fostered through the Nulsen Youth Patron Program over the past five years. This is a wonderful leadership development and Service Learning opportunity for Year 10 students.

Did you know? Did you know that over the past four years, the fundraising art exhibitions held at ASC have raised over $13 500 for Nulsen Disability Services?


Balinese

ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE From 6–17 May, Balinese artists, Wayan Upadana an d Aris Sarmanta, visited Perth and All Saints’ College to share their knowledge of art practices and culture with ou r Years 7 and 8 Project X an d Year 9 Visual Arts classes.

Aris assisted students with recr eating family portraits using Batuan -style motifs and symbols, while those wo rking with Wayan created sculptu ral wall hangings depicting the surface qualities of a lunar landscape. In between classes the artists created works in their distinct styles, which form part of an exhibition in our Cen tre for

Performing Arts throughout Sep tember and October. These works are displayed alongside the stud ents’ work that was created during thei r residency.

While Wayan was at the Col lege, we were delighted to host a special ceremony for the Gravity scu lpture which was generously donated by future ASC grandparent, Ms Mary Hill. All Saints’ was honoured to rece ive this captivating artwork created by Wayan, which featured in the 2018 Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition. Ms Hill ’s son, John, and granddaughter, Eliz a, were able to join us at this event. The two-week residency wa s filmed (scan QR code) by Old Sai nt, Luca Macchiusi (Class of 2016).

Ho thouse Company

INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION The HotHouse Company Invitational Exhibition was launched in 2019, recognising exceptional creative pursuits achieved by All Saints’ College students outside of their classroom commitments. This initiative serves to acknowledge the future potential of our students and allows them to present their work in a formal setting to a public audience. Our inaugural Invitational Exhibition was officially opened on Friday, 21 June in the College’s Centre for Performin g Arts foyer, featuring the captivating work of talented Year 10 photographer , Madhav Rajesh. The opening event took place the same evening as the opening of HotHouse Company and All Saints’ Re-Connected Exhibition, with man y members of the College and wide r communities in attendance. Madhav was honoured to be the first student artist selected for the inaugura l Invitational Exhibition and recognis es

how unique opportunities like this help students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. “I was deeply humbled to see my imag es printed so large, and I’m very grateful for this experience. The exhibition has given me a glimpse at the sheer num ber of opportunities available to us in the College community and has allowed me to understand how privileged we are,” said Madhav. “The Invitational Exhibition allows students like me to demonstrate our skills and abilities, which is advantageous in today’s society, where employers are not only looking at what someone knows, but they are also looking for examples in which an individual has demonstrated their knowledge,” he added. Our first exhibition, featuring Madhav’s photographs, was enjoyed by the community for four weeks after the official opening. We look forward to announcing the second student invite d to showcase their work in the next Invitational Exhibition, which will be on display in early 2020.

Chunky

MOVE

Earlier this year, All Saints’ College Dance students and HotHouse Company grant recipients engaged in a series of workshops and classes wit h performing artist and director, Luigi Vescio, from Melbournebased contemporary dance company, Chunky Move.

Over the course of one wee k, Luigi ran practical sessions with students in Years 9–12 to develop their contem porary dance technique and knowle dge. The students learnt sequences from Chunky Move’s dance, ANTI-Gravity (2017), and gained a better underst anding of the intent behind the work in theoretical lessons. On the second day of his Hot House residency, Luigi helped our Yea r 12

ATAR Dance students with dev eloping their technique, improvisation skills, and Original Solo Composit ion choreography. His creative pra ctice focusses specifically on mem ory and intuition, which he used to guid e the students in exploring different aspects of their ideas and intents in ord er to develop their solo dance pie ces. It was a valuable experience for our students to learn from an indu stry professional with such a wea lth of experience, and we thank Luig i for sharing his passion and creativity with young dancers at All Saints’. The Chunky Move residency was filmed and edited into a documentar y by Year 11 student Fynn Gardner. Plea se scan the QR code for a behind-the -scenes look at the experience.

The Darlington HotHouse Company developed a new partnership in 2019 with The Darlington Ensemble; a group of musicians responsible for the Darlington Chamber Music series, now in its second decade, and the Ensemble-in-Residence at The University of Western Australia’s Conservatorium of Music. The Darlington Ensemble members – Rod McGrath (cello), Semra Lee-Smith (violin), Zak Rowntree (violin), Sally Boud (viola) and Jon Tooby (cello) – presented their (only) two south-of-the-river Concerts at All Saints’ College in Term 3.

ENSEMBLE

Classical music lovers from across Perth came to our College on Wednesday, 31 July and Wednesday, 4 September ˇ for the intimate concerts where the skilled instrumentalists performed works by composers such as Beethoven, Dvorák and Bartók. Before their first performance, The Darlington Ensemble shared their knowledge with the students at All Saints’, running a workshop with the College Symphony Orchestra. To view one of The Darlington Ensemble performances at ASC, scan the QR code to watch the video created by Old Saint Luca Macchiusi (Class of 2016).

Guest D irector PROJECT Renowned Australian director, Emily McLean, joined the HotHouse Company earlier this year to guest-direct an abridged contemporary and innovative production of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

The culmination of the project took place on Wednesday, 13 March, when the cast performed The Tempest to an intimate crowd of family and friends in the All Saints’ College amphitheatre. The outdoor environment and picturesque sunset provided a unique backdrop to their performance, which was highly-regarded by the audience.

Recent graduates and Years 10–12 students from schools across the state auditioned to take part in this project during a two-hour workshop, where they performed monologues from the play and received expert tuition from Emily.

This experience was captured on film by Old Saint, Luca Macchiusi (Class of 2016), who created a documentary of the HotHouse Company’s first Guest Director Project (scan the QR code to view).

The cast was selected from this audition, and worked over five weeks to interpret and develop their performance of The Tempest. During the intense and fast-paced rehearsal schedule, the participants gained a rare insight into an authentic process of creating a drama piece led by an industry professional.

The HotHouse Guest Director initiative aims to encourage the growth of local directors and provide them with a space to develop new ideas, as well as offer young performers the opportunity to engage in genuine drama projects with community engagement.

Board

NEWS

Goal 5 of the College’s Strategic Plan (2019–2023), specifically Objective 5.2, recognises the importance of ‘effective governance’. The governance of All Saints’ is in the hands of the College Board, the members of which act in an honorary capacity. Led by Chair, Mr Mark Stickells, the College Board currently comprises nine members from a range of industries and backgrounds. After more than six years of dedicated service to the College Board, Mr Norman Neill (BBus, FCA, GradDipCSP, AGIA, ACIS) has made the decision to step down from his position at the conclusion of 2019. Managing Partner for Perth’s HLB Mann Judd Advisory and Accounting, Norman is the longest serving of our current ASC Board members; his contribution to our College’s governing body has been significant and generous.

His strong financial acumen has seen him chair the Board’s Finance Committee since 2016 with great skill and expertise, and he has also served on the College’s Foundation for five years. Norman’s calm and wise counsel – a product of his extensive professional experience and his fine personal qualities – has played a particularly important role in supporting the Board through various significant developments, including a recent constitutional change and a number of succession processes over the past six years. We thank Norman most sincerely for sharing with us (so selflessly and over many years) his expertise, experience, time and good humour. Ms Belinda Provis Principal

PRECIOUS PLASTIC WORKSTATION DEBUTS AT THE HANGAR All Saints’ College’s partnership with a local engineer, Mr Ramon Baro, and his new initiative GAIA EcoDefenders, has brought us Perth’s first Precious Plastic workstation with machines to recycle plastic waste. The workstation is an educational resource to teach communities about plastic, and is unique because it combines all four Precious Plastic machines into a single workstation. The machines have been built over the past year and a half out of repurposed parts. Having the Precious Plastic workstation on campus has allowed our Project STEM, Junior School Sustainability Club, Outdoor Education and other classes to learn more about the plastic cycle and how we can turn plastic into a resource. Students have been challenged to design moulds to produce useful items that can ‘close the loop’ on plastic. We will then use the injection moulder to produce the best designs.

During a launch event at The Hangar in Term 3, College staff, students, special guests from the local Men’s Shed and Mr Baro, celebrated the Precious Plastic pilot project workstation and all we have learned. Thomas Haynes (Year 7), who has been working closely with Mr Baro, demonstrated how the machines could shred plastic and be used to make various products, and showed what our students had created. In Term 4, the workstation will leave us to serve the wider community and ASC will receive its own machines that are currently being built in Darwin. The Australian-built machines will then be modified and finished by College parent Mr Chris Butler.

TACKLING THE WAR ON WASTE AT ASC As part of our goal of taking accountability for the environment and being thoughtful and sociallyresponsible community members, we have taken great leaps to develop and implement better waste management procedures at the College. Our mission to reduce the waste at ASC began a few years ago when Mr Philip Gale (Facilities Manager) wanted to decrease the number of plastic bags used at the College. Mr Gale worked together with Mr Tony Guy (Grounds Manager) and the 2018 Environment Captain Jasmin Ozolins to prepare a waste management strategy which they presented to the College’s Leadership Team last year. This was the beginning of a growing movement amongst our students and many staff across the Junior and Senior Schools, who have been empowered to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill from All Saints’. Our Year 5 cohort began an engaging and important inquiry project on Waste at ASC in late May. The following month, the

70

THE DOVE GOAL 5

classes completed a full Junior School Waste Audit – collecting and sorting all the rubbish accumulated across the Junior School from one day. The Year 5s recorded and weighed the amount of waste in each category, and discovered some alarming statistics. They even created a video (scan the QR code) about the process and their findings. Their inquiry kicked off again in Term 3, with the timetable collapsed for three days in late July so that the students could tackle the problem without interruption. The students attended workshops, spoke with experts and drove their own learning and problem-solving to develop innovative solutions to this realworld problem. In the Senior School, after months of planning, a Waste Audit involving over 350 students and staff was conducted in midAugust. Large tarpaulins covered the heart of The Common, where individual classes were invited throughout the day to help count and categorise a day’s worth of waste from across the Senior School campus. Shortly after this Waste Audit, a new threebin rubbish system was rolled out across

the College to facilitate the reuse, recycling and composting of waste materials. All bins around the campus were replaced with three-bin waste solutions for general rubbish (red), recyclable material (yellow) and composted waste (green). Senior School Environment Captain, Jasmine Berry (Year 12), has been a driving force in helping our College community adopt better waste management procedures and shares her experience of the Waste Audit. Students at All Saints’ College want to make a difference, and that makes my spirit soar. It was incredible to see the deep level of concern and care that students showed when participating in the Waste Audit. The Senior School Waste Audit was designed to increase awareness about the waste we produce at the College. However, educating participating students and staff about the significance of waste management and the concept of sustainability was also a priority. Mr Daniel Marano (Programs Officer, Waste Wise Schools – Department of Water and Environmental Regulation) joined us for the day to help manage the audit and provided

his informed perspective on the potential problems and solutions surrounding waste management and sustainability. Throughout the day, students and staff sorted the waste into 14 separate categories using clearly-labelled tubs. I remember slipping on the reusable gloves and getting to work sorting, alongside six-year-olds through to 16-year-olds. They told me, “This is disgusting…but let’s do something about it.” This is the kind of attitude that is unique to the change-makers of tomorrow. The quantities obtained from the waste audit were extrapolated over 12 months to see how much waste our Senior School produces in just one year. This amount can be used as a benchmark to track our progress in reducing our waste as a College, as well as to test the impact and effectiveness of the new three-bin system. All Saints’ is delighted that our students and staff are passionate about making a positive difference and spreading a strong message to reduce the amount of waste that we are producing, as well as our carbon footprint.

All Saints’ College is grateful for our community’s generous and ongoing support of our Voluntary Building Fund (VBF) and the Annual Giving Campaign. Committed to ensuring the highest of standards for our campus and its facilities, we have an ambitious ‘to-do list’ of projects here at the College. The VBF allows All Saints’ to undertake projects on this list which otherwise may not be possible due to our finite resources. In the past, the VBF has funded the installation of a comprehensive network of CCTV cameras across our campus, enabled the fit-out of The Hangar (home of Propeller Industries), enclosed our Canteen, and air-conditioned the College Chapel. This year, our Annual Giving Campaign introduced a new option to donate to the College’s Library Fund, in addition to our Give the Gift of All Saints’ Scholarship Program. The Library Fund will ensure the growth and development of new digital and print resources available in our Junior and Senior School Libraries for students and their families. The generous donations to our Scholarship Fund are directed towards helping support our current students from diverse backgrounds. All Saints’ College sincerely thanks the following donors of our Voluntary Building Fund and Annual Giving Campaign during the 2018–2019 Financial Year (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019).
