THE DOVE


FROM THE EDITOR At All Saints’ College, the final term of each academic year brings many emotions – excitement, anticipation, reflection and inspiration. For our graduating Year 12 cohort, it is a time that begins with many celebratory events, as they embark on a new chapter of their lives. With this significant milestone on the horizon for our Class of 2021, it is a timely reminder to pause and reflect on the year that has been, and to prepare for the year ahead. While some may be hesitant about the change that a new year brings, others recognise that with change comes an opportunity for a fresh beginning. As I write this article and reflect on the opportunities that lie ahead for our graduating class, I am also excited to be embarking on a new opportunity at the College in the position of Head of Admissions. After 10 years working in Marketing and Communications at ASC, I am looking forward to this new career chapter in my life. For over 24 years, the College has been part of my life, as a student and then a staff member. And now it will be both

a privilege and a pleasure to share the unique opportunities that All Saints’ offers with prospective families. As this will be my final ‘From the Editor’ piece in The Dove, I would like to acknowledge and thank the many students, staff, parents, grandparents and friends of the College who have contributed to and supported ASC publications over the years. I also recognise the remarkable effort of the many staff and suppliers with whom I have worked behind the scenes to produce content, proofing, design, printing, and distribution of The Dove biannually, as well as our annual yearbook, Columba. It has always been a team effort, and I couldn’t have compiled the many publications over the years without their dedication and hard work. I know our College publications will continue to showcase the vibrant ASC community, and I particularly look forward to reading the next edition of The Dove. Karyn Osmetti (2006) Communications Manager

FROM THE PRINCIPAL Welcome to our 2021 Spring edition of The Dove in this, our 40th birthday year! And on that, we have some wonderful birthday celebrations for our students to look forward to and, coming up in early November, our Sundowner on The Common for the adults in our ASC community. We look forward to seeing you there! This publication is a beautiful and comprehensive celebration of life at the College so far this year…but that is nothing new, as we have come to expect such fabulous work from Miss Karyn Osmetti, our Communications Manager. What is particularly poignant about our 85th edition of this much-loved magazine is that it is Karyn’s last, as she has recently been appointed ASC’s Head of Admissions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karyn for the outstanding work she has done in her role as Communications Manager and, in particular, for her tireless efforts to ensure that her stewardship of The Dove (19 editions, as well as other publications, including 10 editions of Columba) appropriately honours and celebrates the achievements of all community members. While we will miss Karyn’s involvement in the College’s publications, we are delighted to welcome her into her new role. Like most organisations, ASC is still being impacted by COVID-19, and you’d be forgiven for momentarily forgetting about

MAMMA MIA! MAGIC “There is an undeniable collective human experience when complete strangers gather in a large theatre, the lights dim, and ABBA starts to play.” Ms Zoe Parker One of the most celebrated musicals of all time, MAMMA MIA! has captivated audiences around the globe for over two decades, and this year we were delighted to create our own production at All Saints’ College.

“We wanted the audience to share time with these colourful characters and understand what they feel on stage. It was a chance to experience a bit more fun and ABBA magic,” added Ms Parker.

Following months of rehearsals, setbuilding, acquiring props and costume styling, the cast and crew were ready to raise the curtain on the first performance of the College’s production in late April.

After receiving standing ovations on the first two nights, our MAMMA MIA! ensemble was starting to find their groove when a three-day State lockdown suddenly halted the final two performances. While understandably disappointed, the cast and crew showed their resilience, and we were thrilled to reschedule the two shows to the following month, once it was safe to do so.

In true ASC style, there were unique differences in the College’s version of MAMMA MIA!, with the production moved from the beautiful Greek island of Skopelos and set instead on Penguin Island in Western Australia. “So often we forget to celebrate our own backyard, our land, our Boodjar. Australians’ insatiable love affair with the 1970s is another reason we shifted the setting. We wanted to play with this enduring Aussie sensibility in a playful and light-hearted manner,” said Director and ASC Arts teacher, Ms Zoe Parker. Another difference in this year’s College production was that for the first time, audience members could purchase tickets which enabled them to take part in an interactive experience, joining the cast on stage for Sophie and Sky’s wedding.

“Making good art is tricky business. Art needs time to incubate, germinate and then be crafted with vision and skill. The entire team – cast, crew, Administration staff, musicians, set designers, lighting designer, Community Relations, set builders, set painters, sound designer, family supporters, puppet makers, costume designer, prop makers, make-up artist, Old Saints and Arts staff working on this show – were nothing short of inspirational,” said Ms Parker.

RECOGNISING OUR FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE Over the past year, our community has worked closely with local elders and leaders in the development of our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP); an important step in the College’s journey of creating an inclusive and respectful community committed to achieving our Vision of Making a positive difference in our world.

A significant part of this process has been consultations with students, staff and parents through workshops conducted by Freda Ogilvie, Noongar elder and friend of ASC. Freda has been instrumental in helping us to further our ongoing awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures. At the end of Term 3, the College community celebrated the RAP launch with a presentation in the Centre for Performing Arts where the artwork – created by Year 10 student Cooper Hawley for The Agency – was unveiled. Following this, students and staff enjoyed a range of activities on The Common. Both the Junior and Senior Schools celebrated NAIDOC Week this year with a variety of activities inside and outside the classroom, including a performance from the Madjitil Moorna choir and a Friday Feast on The Common with kangaroo stew and damper, wattle seed cookies, Roogenic tea, Indigenous sports and a performance from Indigenous hiphop artist, Flewnt. As part of this year’s NAIDOC celebrations, our Indigenous students worked together to organise custom hoodies, designed by an Indigenous parent. Community members who purchased a hoodie were encouraged to wear them throughout the week and on the day of the RAP Launch.

TEAM-BUILDING IN YEAR 7 The College’s Year 7 Team-Building Outdoor Learning Program (OLP) is an integral part of our students’ journey as they begin the first year of Senior School at All Saints’ College. The two-day overnight OLP is held in Term 1 each year, and provides an opportunity for each class to participate in team-building activities that allow them to build stronger relationships with one another and their teachers. They also learn basic outdoor skills which they utilise during the Year 7 OLP, held in the South-West later in the year. “We are fortunate to be able to use the Manjedal Activity Centre for this OLP, which affords us the opportunity to teach our students some outdoor

One of the most important aspects of the Year 7 Team-Building OLP is the introduction of The Leader in Me program, a key pastoral initiative at All Saints’ College which allows students to learn how they can incorporate Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into their lives, as they move to becoming more independent learners in the Senior School.

BLOOD DONATION PROGRAM

An ongoing awareness campaign at All Saints’ College is promoting how blood donation can impact lives and encouraging staff and students (once they turn 18 and become eligible) to register. Launched two years ago by Senior School Mathematics teacher, Ms Hannah Mast and former students Elly Crowhurst and Eva South (Class of 2019), the campaign has inspired many students and staff to donate blood. “Roughly one in three Australians will need a life-saving blood transfusion in their lifetime, but in spite of that only one in 50 people donate blood,” said Ms Mast. “The fact we have Year 12 students at the College already keen to become blood donors is truly inspiring,” she added. College staff, students (18 years old), Old Saints and parents are invited to join our ASC Lifeblood team; simply state your from All Saints’ when you attend your donation.

EVOLUTION OF SERVICE AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

All Saints’ College’s Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise was introduced three years ago to empower our young people to build an innovative, creative and compassionate world. Catalyst provides opportunities for students to engage as volunteers and leaders in a variety of activities with our partners, as well as develop their innovative compassion, and harness their desire for change through social enterprise. A new and exciting aspect of Catalyst has been the development of a studentrun Catalyst Inc. leadership team, led by three Year 12 General Managers, which is supporting the current programs as well as developing new initiatives to shape the future of Service Learning at the College. “The Catalyst Inc. leadership team was developed to give students an opportunity to lead real activities beyond the walls of the classroom, and give them a chance to develop and gain realworld workplace skills,” said Head of Catalyst, Mr Scott Corbett.

A primary focus of Catalyst is connecting students across the College with social enterprise opportunities, where they are able to apply their skills and passions to develop products to raise funds for charity, or find solutions to real-world problems faced by our Service Learning partners. “Taking part in service gives us the opportunity to empathise with the communities around us, while also making a positive difference in our world,” said Zakaria Ebrahim, Year 12 General Manager of Catalyst Inc.

ASC WANDERS OUT YONDER Written by Ruby Williams (Year 11)

In the July school holidays, 10 Year 11 and 12 students and two ASC staff (Mr Nick Fletcher and Miss Tatjiana Pieris) travelled to Kununurra to participate in a remote six-day hiking expedition, making their way along the Dunham River Catchment. With access to land that is normally not accessible to visitors, the group was led by ex-SAS soldier and Director of Adventure Out Terry Hewett OAM and Mr Nick Fletcher (ASC Outdoor Learning teacher).

Preparation had been underway for some months at the College, with large amounts of equipment and food needing to be prepared, packed and distributed amongst our group. For this trip, we would be entirely self-sufficient, carrying all food, camping gear and cooking equipment. The group also brought along several fishing rods to make the most of the pristine Dunham River, where Terry often told us he had seen barramundi, at least a metre in length, swimming around! Before we knew it, we arrived in hot and sunny Kununurra, where we were greeted by Terry and his two four-wheel-drive cars, and headed an hour away to Doon Doon Station, our first base camp and future rendezvous point on Cabbage Tree Creek. Days two and three saw students start bright and early to go on beautiful hikes throughout the gorges. The trek began by walking along Cabbage Tree Creek, with the group now fully isolated in the wilderness. From here, we made camp where we decided to settle into expedition mode. On day four, students had a predawn wake-up and began a demanding hike down into the Letterbox Gorge, a narrow chokepoint in the river where steep cliffs on either side meant that swimming through with our packs atop a make-shift raft was the only option!

With everyone feeling more comfortable and adjusted to the environment, days five and six saw us settle organically into the rhythm of Kimberley life. On our final night on country, the well-rehearsed routine was starting to make sense, and a reflective campfire session gave us the opportunity to unpack the experience as the prospect of transitioning into life back in Perth loomed. For some, this came as a reward – a chance to share their experience with those at home, and to reminisce. For others, the end of the expedition brought mixed feelings of both happiness to have faced the challenge, but also sadness at the prospect of having to leave what had become a seminal experience, where each student had shown strength, maturity, and genuine growth. After a welcome rest and drink of cold water, everyone got into the cars and headed for Discovery Park Campgrounds in the town of Kununurra. The final evening in town brought everyone together to share a meal and debrief on the amazing experience. We thank Mr Jason Zaurs (Head of Outdoor Learning), Mr Nick Fletcher (Outdoor Learning teacher), Miss Tatjiana Pieris (Health and Physical Education teacher) and Terry for guiding us on this fantastic journey. Their hard work on planning the trip and keeping everyone safe did not go unseen. It was certainly an experience that I will remember forever.

CONNECTING THROUGH MUSIC Recognising the many benefits that music can bring to all areas of our students’ learning, the College’s diverse curricular and cocurricular Choral program supports students in developing a longlasting passion for singing and the Arts. Through classroom music, choral opportunities, and engaging programs such as Choir Kickstart and the Choral Festival, Junior School students have the chance to connect with music and explore the ways in which music and singing can enhance their creativity. “The main benefit of music is really about connection. In Music we can connect to our own self and to others. It also gives us a chance to connect to others across time, through history, and learn what it truly means to be human,” said Ms Kate Wilson (Junior School Music teacher).

GET TO KNOW OUR NEW COLLEGE CHAPLAIN At the beginning of Term 2, the All Saints’ College community welcomed a new Chaplain, Rev Liz Flanigan. An experienced pastoral carer, Rev Liz is passionate about the development of critical thinking skills, initiative, respectful listening to others, strong values-driven decision making and curiosity.

3. What do you love most about your role?

After two terms at the College, Rev Liz has well and truly immersed herself in life at ASC, leading engaging Chapel services, and regularly visiting and supporting our students in classrooms, at cocurricular activities and events around campus.

4. Is there anything you hope to achieve as the ASC Chaplain?

1. Tell us a bit about yourself? I grew up in Perth, in the northern suburbs, and have lived most of my life here. I spent four years in Sydney (study and work) and two in the UK (work), but otherwise, it’s been WA all the way. After high school, I completed an Arts degree at The University of Western Australia but wasn’t sure what to do next. So, I worked as a medical receptionist for a while, before heading off to Bible College in Sydney. After finishing studying, I worked in churches for quite a while (in youth, children and family work) before having my two kids, Cassie and Hannah. A bit later, I went back to uni to complete my Graduate Diploma in teaching, which led to me finding my way into school chaplaincy! 2. How were you drawn into school chaplaincy? It was the opportunity to combine a few of my passions: working with young people, teaching, and encouraging people to explore faith and life’s big questions!

GOAL 1

There are lots of things I love! I love connecting with people – staff, students and families. I love hearing people’s stories and I am often inspired by the way people walk through their lives. I also love encouraging people to explore faith with an open mind and heart to see what they might discover.

I hope to make the Christian faith more accessible to those who would like to explore it further and to promote a culture of acceptance, love and learning together. 5. What is your favourite Bible scripture that inspires you? There are lots of Bible verses and stories that inspire me. One of my favourites is from Isaiah 40:31. It reminds me that God is with me, no matter what I’m going through and that in God, I have great strength. But those who trust the LORD will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; They will walk and run without getting tired. 6. What do you do in your free time to ‘sharpen your saw’? I like to read, learn, listen to music, walk in the sunshine with my dog, hang out with friends and family, watch detective shows on TV, and when possible, go to movies, plays and concerts!

CONGRATS CLASS OF 2020! “The All Saints’ College community has shaped me into the person I am today, allowing me to develop the passion and confidence I need to set out to make a positive difference in our world.” (Year 12 student, 2020) Given the uncertainty of last year as we navigated the pandemic, All Saints’ College is particularly proud of the achievements of our Class of 2020. In this edition of The Dove, we recognise a number of significant academic accomplishments of our 2020 graduating class. The College caught up with several members of the Class of 2020 in the video below. Click on the link to see what they have been up to since leaving ASC and how they have developed their diverse and unique passions and interests.

ASC HOSTS STATEWIDE STEM SOLAR CAR CHALLENGE In Term 1, hundreds of Year 6 and 8 students from 64 schools across Perth visited the College to take part in the 2021 South Metro Synergy Schools Solar Challenge – a joint initiative of the Science Teachers’ Association of WA and Synergy. Students’ STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) knowledge, as well as their teamwork and leadership skills, were put to the test as they worked in small groups to build and race solarpowered miniature model cars. After plenty of testing and prototyping in their Science classes prior to the event, two Year 8 teams from ASC took part in the dynamic challenge. Recognising the practical benefits of STEM learning, the College’s Head of Science, Miss Stacey Fairhead, was delighted to offer ASC as host school for the 2021 challenge, after last year’s event was cancelled due to the pandemic.

YEAR 4 INQUIRY CONTRIBUTES TO OUR THRIVING COMMUNITY Earlier this year, our Year 4S class embarked on a rich and thoughtful inquiry centered on the question, ‘How can we create and then contribute to a thriving community?’ Following the 5E model framework for guided inquiry learning (Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Enact) used at ASC, students looked at their own communities and then focused their attention on the All Saints’ College community. The class was drawn to the Junior School amphitheatre space, as it is a communal place for students and staff to gather, learn and to remember our beloved Junior School student, Kayla Senjaya. Last year, the community decorated a piano donated by the Johns family in memory of Kayla and, while this colourful piano encourages more people to converge in the space, Year 4S felt the rest of the amphitheatre was somewhat underwhelming. This is how the idea for ‘Kayla’s Garden’ and the inquiry was born.

Working together with Grounds and Maintenance Manager, Mr Tony Guy, students researched and learnt about the plants that would be suitable and desirable for the space. They organised a day for planting and were excited to get their hands dirty to bring their ideas and learning to life. “One thing I noticed about students’ voice in this inquiry was their concern for how the garden can be cared for and how others should be showing respect for the environment,” said Miss Lauren Smith (Year 4S teacher). The students’ interest in understanding how to care for the environment led to their next inquiry question, ‘If Earth’s environment sustains all life, then how can life sustain Earth?’, which linked to the Year 4 Geography curriculum and was launched on Earth Day.

One Year 10 reflected on the day saying, “It changed my ideas about the future because it showed me there were a lot more possibilities than I had imagined.” Due to pandemic restrictions, these two events were created as alternatives to the College’s annual Futures Expo (formerly Careers Expo), which was established in 2005 by Futures Facilitator Ms Grace Itzstein.


SCHOOL-BASED APPRENTICESHIP INSPIRES PASSION FOR FOOD AND COOKING A creative and hands-on learner, Year 11 student James Burling was inspired to begin a School-Based Apprenticeship in commercial cookery this year after commencing employment as a kitchenhand at Ethos Deli + Dining Room in January. “The chefs could see my interest, and I was given the opportunity of preparing charcuterie boards and working on the Larder section,” commented James. “I was enjoying the experience so much and felt I wanted to learn more,” he added. This was the beginning of James’s path to becoming a qualified chef and the College’s first student to commence a School-Based Apprenticeship. Working closely with ASC’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) Coordinator Mr Paul King, James has an individual learning plan which includes completing his Chef Apprenticeship – Certificate III in Commercial Cookery. James is employed by Hospitality Group Training WA (HGT) and hosted at Ethos Deli + Dining Room in East Fremantle, where he works four days a week while he completes his apprenticeship. His training has exposed him to all aspects of working in a commercial kitchen, including the importance of cleaning and hygiene in the workplace, knife skills, plating techniques, safety, and how to streamline food for service. “I’ve gained a great deal of knowledge from working in a fast-paced team environment, including the importance of tools of the trade (knives are expensive, so start saving and look after them!), multitasking, and being organised. And what I enjoy most is the creativity,” said James.

Modena Italy would be my first stop as I would love to meet my idol, Massimo Bottura, at Osteria Francescana.”

PROJECT UTOPIA – REDESIGNING THE FREMANTLE PORT AREA Written by Amber Lynch (Year 7)

During Term 3 in Innovat[ED], the Year 7 students worked in teams to redesign the Fremantle Port area for their wholeof-term cross-curricular Project Utopia. Collaborating with the Future of Fremantle Planning Committee, this was a unique opportunity with which we were presented, dealing with a real community in a real location. To further understand the area we were redesigning, we visited Fremantle Port earlier in Term 3 and collected information and photos. Every team focused on one area of the Fremantle Port, each with a different purpose, and we created vision boards to assist us in showcasing our ideas. Our concepts also adhered to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and addressed the question: How do we design a community where all people thrive? My team created a dynamic plaza featuring shops, restaurants, apartments and office spaces. Our plaza is a circular shape inspired by Indigenous Australian art. To make it more accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, there will be a bridge that crosses to the other side of the river. It will be run solely by hydroelectricity and solar energy, which are both reusable energy sources.

GOAL 2

Each week, we met industry professionals who had been invited to the College to learn about Project Utopia and see how we were progressing with our concepts. It was an invaluable experience to be able to pick the brains of these experts and ask questions of them to deepen our learning. This project has exposed me to the reality of developing an area. It’s not just drawing buildings and creating them; there’s a lot more to it. We must follow the design thinking process thoroughly and collect information through a great deal of research. I have also learnt that to create a sustainable community, we need to think long-term about the resources we will have access to in the future, as well as the constantly changing landscape and weather. These factors served as challenges throughout the project, but we were always able to overcome them. We were proud to present our final concepts and vision boards, for our thriving and sustainable Fremantle Port areas, to parents and special guests at a Showcase on Friday, 17 September. Overall, I think the Year 7 students have been fortunate to be given this opportunity. I hope that many of our ideas will become a reality in the future of Fremantle Port city.

ENTREPRENEUR SPOTLIGHT ON: THOMAS AND OLIVIA In this edition of The Dove, we put the spotlight on Thomas Haynes (Year 9) and Olivia Smith (Year 6), two ASC students who are using their innovative and entrepreneurial skills to help make a positive difference in our world. With a passion for sustainability, Thomas has built his own Precious Plastic machines to help repurpose plastic waste into useful products. Using his self-taught engineering and mechanical skills, he has built two machines, solely from recycled materials, that can be used to give plastic waste another life. Inspired by her own experiences, Olivia has embarked on a mission to help young people dealing with stress and anxiety learn more about the importance of wellbeing. Olivia launched her enterprise, Wellbeing Wonder Packs, earlier this year to help kids find joy and just ‘be kids’.

Our entrepreneurially-minded students and their ideas are nurtured through the College’s hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, Propeller Industries and its space, The Hangar, where they can explore their passions and interests. Head of Propeller Industries, Ms Laura Strentz, said many of our students (including Olivia and Thomas) understand how to identify problems in their communities and then develop innovative solutions. “Our best innovators at All Saints’ and around the world are likely to be good at finding problems based on the needs of the world around them, and they’re great at talking with people and researching,” said Ms Strentz.

ELECTIVE ALLOWS STUDENTS TO FOCUS ON GLOBAL GOALS

Propeller Industries launched two Year 9 and 10 elective courses to encompass and develop skills in innovation, leadership and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). In this edition of The Dove we highlight one of these electives, UN Sustainability Goals and Innovation through STEM. This course was designed to allow students to develop their capabilities within the STEM disciplines while designing innovative solutions guided by the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. “Students have explored the goals quite deeply, in terms of governance and from an international perspective. In doing so, they found goals that resonated with them and developed solutions to these goals,” said Ms Catherine Donnelly (ASC STEM teacher). In small groups, students research the Sustainable Development Goals and focus on the impacts at a local level, with the aim of creating a more sustainable and progressive future. During Semester 1 this year, the groups worked on four very different local projects, each addressing separate Global Goals. These projects ranged from increasing girls’ engagement in ATAR STEM subjects at the College to protecting at-risk Australian Ringneck Parrots by designing and building nest boxes for the ASC campus. “The elective is self-guided and that’s easy to apply to the workforce, so it’s good practice to gain as a student,” commented Shaurya Kaushal (Year 10).

RUNWAY MARKETS SHOWCASE STUDENTS’ INNOVATIONS Since it was launched in 2018, Runway – the College’s Pop-up Shop – has become the place for students to sell their innovative products to the community. To provide students with greater sales and marketing experience in the real world, Propeller Industries launched market events last year in the Centre for Performing Arts foyer. These events continued in 2021, with the entrepreneurial spirit of our students on full display. In Terms 2 and 3, some of our Year 8 and Junior School students sold their products to the community. The Year 8s developed their innovations through the Innovat[ED] curriculum, where they participated in the national Young Change Agent’s $20 Boss program.

They were also joined at the markets by some Junior School students who were selling products they developed during a weekly cocurricular course, highlighting that it’s never too early to develop an entrepreneurial spirit. Our Runway Pop-up Shop even made its way off-campus this year, with students and staff selling the student-made products to the wider community at the Fremantle Farmers Market on Sunday, 19 September. The ASC group also had a demonstration showing how our Precious Plastic machines can reuse and recycle plastic.

RECOGNISING OUR HERITAGE OF LEADERSHIP Every year, the All Saints’ College past and present communities come together for Heritage Week – a celebration of our rich and diverse history.

While the uncertainty of COVID-19 resulted in the cancellation of the highly anticipated Students vs Old Saints’ Sports event, the remainder of the week’s events proceeded as normal, with students and staff learning about various aspects of our heritage. A number of activities and events were held over the five days, including the Years 5 and 6 Heritage Buzzer Quiz, Sausage Sizzles hosted by our Old Saints’ Association, and a Years 3 and 4 Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge. The theme of Leadership provided an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the importance of developing leadership skills and the significant leaders within our community who have come before us. At the Senior School Assembly, students enjoyed an engaging presentation based on the theme from Heritage Coordinator Mr John Beaverstock and former College Captains Scott Ritchie (1985) and Bruce Lee (1986). “This year, as we celebrate a significant milestone of 40 years, the ongoing preservation of our archives and celebrating the history of ASC have never been more important,” said Mr Beaverstock. “We look forward to celebrating with our community at our special 40th event on Friday, 5 November.”

COMMUNITY CONNECTION CONTINUES THROUGH ART Every year, the All Saints’ College community is connected through the power of creating art to make a positive difference in our world. Our annual fundraising art exhibition Connected continues to strengthen the College’s relationship with our Service Learning partner Nulsen Group, and showcases the creativity and artistic talents of the ASC community. Over the past six years, through the generosity of our community, an outstanding $22 215 has been raised for Nulsen. This year, Connected6 revolved around the theme of Year of the Ox; with over 160 artworks created by students, staff, parents, grandparents, Old Saints and friends of the College. All pieces were available for purchase through an online auction, with close to $3 000 raised from the sales this year and

donated to the disability services provider. The opening night of Connected6 was also the launch of the College’s third HotHouse Invitational Exhibition No Need of Words – a joint creative venture from Year 12 students, with images by Michelle Thesman, spoken word pieces by Ashley Lance, and a guest musical performance from Spencer Jones. The HotHouse Invitational Exhibition series recognises the exceptional creative pursuits achieved by our students outside their classroom commitments. It serves to acknowledge the future potential of these students by allowing them to present their work to a public audience in a formal setting.

40 YEARS LATER: A CELEBRATORY PERFORMANCE OF OUR HERITAGE In Term 3, a group of students in Years 7–9 performed an original work by Perth playwright Sam Nerida, commissioned by HotHouse Company to celebrate All Saints’ College’s 40th birthday. The 40 Years Later production was a creative celebration inspired by the true stories, fond memories and lived experiences of the ASC community. Using responses collected from survey data completed by diverse community members across our College, Sam worked with staff and students to develop the play. “The data gave me a sense of how the All Saints’ community feels about the College and what brings them to ASC,” said Sam. With an understanding that the play would be a celebration of ASC and be performed by Years 7–9 students, Sam developed a vignette approach to the script, creating a collection of scenes to give an overall sense of the different College communities. “There were scenes where all the students are together talking about what it is to be 40 years old… and some comedic two-handers where they portrayed the role of their

teachers. I tried to give the students a range of style and experience in this one work,” Sam added. Local Perth director Haydon Wilson was selected to produce the performance, working alongside Ms Zoe Parker (ASC Arts teacher) and Mr Drew Mayhills (Director of HotHouse Company). Our budding young actors rehearsed for many hours in preparation for their one-off, sold-out performance in the College’s Upper Theatre on Wednesday, 25 August 2021. One student performer, Annabelle Berry (Year 9), took part in 40 Years Later to gain more performance experience. “Working with industry professionals like Haydon and Sam gave us a different insight into the process of performance,” said Annabelle. “I hope the audience walked away from the show realising ASC is a caring and understanding place where everyone is welcome,” she added.

COOKING FOR A CAUSE

The on-campus Food Friendzy program, formerly known as Cooking for the Homeless, is held once a term and is a perfect example of our community’s kindness, generosity and empathy. So far this year, participants have cooked over 1 200 individual meals for those in need during our on-campus Food Friendzy program.

For five years, the College’s Parents and Friends’ Society (P&F) has organised and run a Service Learning initiative which sees community members prepare and cook hundreds of meals for The Salvation Army to distribute to people who are homeless.

With more and more community members keen to help make a positive difference to the lives of those less fortunate, the ‘at home’ Food Friendzy program (which began as an initiative during last year’s COVID-19 lockdown) took place again this year. This program allows community members to cook meals in their homes, freeze and deliver them to ASC for The Salvation Army to distribute. We interviewed College parent and P&F Service Learning Coordinator, Mrs Meagan Hillier, who has been helping to coordinate the program for a number of years, as highlighted in the video below. Upon reflecting on Food Friendzy, Mrs Hillier said: “I think it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems that exist in the world, but we can all do our little bit, and this is a way of doing our part.”

A SNAPSHOT OF OUR 2020 FINANCES The College takes most seriously its commitment to Custodianship: our accountability for our resources, infrastructure and environment (Goal 5 of Benang*, ASC’s Strategic Plan, 2019–2023). As part of that commitment, we report annually to our community on the College’s major sources of income and areas of expenditure for the previous calendar year. There is no doubt that for most organisations, and certainly ASC, COVID-19 has presented some unprecedented challenges in 2020 and beyond. In response to this significant disruption, the College provided to all families a remission on tuition fees during the 2020 academic year, and a 0% fee increase in the following academic year (2021) in recognition of the financial challenges so many members of our community were, and are, experiencing. We will continue to carefully manage and monitor the current and future challenges that COVID-19 poses, and thank our community for their philanthropic support

during this time (by way of the Voluntary Building Fund and the Annual Giving program, for instance), and the government whose support has helped ensure that the College has not needed to stand down any staff during this testing time. As can be seen from the pie graphs below, our total income in 2020 amounted to $37.6m, of which $20.9m (or 55.6%) was in the form of tuition fees. As is typical for schools, the College’s major expenditure is on salaries which, in this reporting period, represented 72.9% of our total expenditure at $24.3m. As always, and particularly through the recent challenging times, we thank the ASC community for your confidence in, and support of, our prudent custodianship of the College’s resources as we strive to ensure that our facilities, our resources and programs benefit all current and future students.

SUSTAINABLE STUDENTS MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE of sustainability they would like to focus on and to spread their messages of living more sustainably into our community. This year, the senior students in Sustainability Club were encouraged to develop, organise and run their own workshops and initiatives, such as creating a promotional video on how to reduce waste, enhancing the planter boxes outside The Hangar, and creating sustainable fashion using natural dyes. Our Sustainability Club is one of the College’s largest cocurricular activities, encompassing Junior School and Senior School students and staff who come together each week with a shared vision of helping to make a better and more sustainable world. Guided by various staff and senior students, the passionate participants engage in a variety of workshops, group discussions and projects that are focused on sustainability at ASC, including Precious Plastic, Aquaponics, and the College’s three-bin waste system. The after-school club also allows students to develop their agency, voice and leadership skills by providing them with opportunities to choose which areas

The sustainable fashion workshops were organised by Year 12 Environment Captain Jacob Powell and Year 12 O’Connor House Captain Sophie Smith. “It is really great to see how passionate the younger students are with sustainability and how ready they are to get involved,” said Sophie.

CONTRIBUTING TO ASC’S WATER CONSERVATION One of the College’s sustainability initiatives has been to reconfigure the oval reticulation systems to help conserve our precious groundwater resource.

As part of this strategy, we have rehabilitated areas of the oval by planting appropriate native species and utilised hydro-zoning – the process of grouping together plants based on similar water requirements to conserve water.

“Once the plants have grown, the area will be a wonderful learning resource for our students, as well as connect the two spaces on the oval that are used by our Early Childhood Centre (ECC) classes during their weekly Bush School program.”

The first stage of this project was a Community Planting Day organised by our Facilities and Grounds staff on Saturday, 31 July 2021. More than 40 parents, students, grandparents, friends of ASC and staff attended this event and helped plant 500 native species in just a few short hours.

The College’s Community Planting Day coincided with Schools Tree Day (30 July 2021) and National Tree Day (1 August 2021) – two Australian tree-planting nature-care events which promote the importance of improving our environment and creating positive environmental change in local communities.

“We are grateful to the generous volunteers who joined us for the event, despite the heavy downpour in the morning which didn’t deter them from our objective and goal of planting all 500 native species,” said Mr Philip Gale (Facilities Manager). “Their hard work was rewarded with an Aussie BBQ to conclude the morning,” added Mr Gale.
