2023

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY: KAYA. NOONGAR BOODJA. We would like to acknowledge the deep and ongoing connections that the Noongar people have to the land that our school is built on. We give our respect to the traditional owners of this land and promise to do our best to take care of it, both today and in the future.

FROM THE PUBLICATIONS CAPTAIN LOOKING BACK ON HOW QUICKLY MY TIME AS PUBLICATIONS CAPTAIN HAS FLOWN BY, I AM IMMENSELY GRATEFUL FOR HOW EXCITING, CHALLENGING AND REWARDING THIS ROLE THIS HAS BEEN. When I assumed this role, my goal was to build on the foundation laid by previous Captains, and create a space for students to share their ideas and express their interests. An important part of this was the student newsletter Gnala (meaning ‘our’ in the traditional Noongar dialect), and my focus was to continue to make Gnala an engaging and creative publication. Throughout this year the enthusiasm and endless ideas from the Publications Committee have been the driving force behind what we have accomplished. The Committee members’ willingness to contribute wherever possible has made my time in the role all the more enjoyable, and is something for which I am incredibly grateful. The continuation of Gnala truly stands as testament to the dedication and creativity of all those involved.

To produce a publication takes an enormous amount of time and effort from a range of people, and seeing the way that everyone’s contributions came together in projects such as Gnala and the Year 12 Booklet has been a highlight of the role. I would like to give my best wishes to David Duff, the Publications Captain for 2024, and all involved with the Publications Committee next year. This role is a very rewarding one and you have so much look forward to! Finally, I’d like to extend an enormous thank you to the Community Relations Department for all of your help with editing and helping with the behind-the-scenes processes. In particular, thank you to Ms Emily Garbett for all her mentorship this year – from helping with editions of Gnala to replying to my numerous emails, what I have achieved this year would never have been possible without your endless support and guidance. Aleisha Nelson Year 12

Although I encountered a few hurdles throughout the year, I am incredibly appreciative of all the experience and skills I have gained from this leadership position.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MEMENTO OF 2023 THIS PUBLICATION IS – THANK YOU TO OUR EDITORIAL TEAM AND ALL CONCERNED FOR THIS LOVELY GIFT THAT CELEBRATES THE VIBRANCY AND THE DIVERSITY OF ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE’S 43RD YEAR.

market, Pasar Malam, thanks to the tireless efforts of many, including our enormously dedicated Parents and Friends’ Society. With the lifting of international travel restrictions, our biennial expedition to our partners in France was also reinstated – tres joyeux for our intrepid globetrotters under the watchful eye of Madame Chu Yu Chee and the accompanying staff!

And what a year it has been, this final year of Benang*, our guiding strategic plan (2019– 2023). Little did we as a community know, when hatching Benang, what lay ahead of us in terms of a global pandemic and all its consequences, and yet Benang steadfastly guided us through, accompanied all the way by ERIC**, and our College mission and vision.

And 2023 allowed us to reinstitute our full and popular Old Saints’ Reunion program for former students – it was so good to have those year groups able to reconnect, and especially great to see our Class of 2022 enjoy a gathering in October, thanks to the Former Students’ Association’s introduction of a ‘One Year Reunion’!

Benang’s final year has been a credit to every member of our community who has sought to reconnect, rebuild and reimagine, sought to enjoy and make the most of a life – while not entirely COVID free – of fewer restrictions and anxieties than the preceding three years. In partnership with our student leaders, we decided to make 2023 the year of ‘Be More You’ – a theme which encouraged a year of self-discovery as we each committed to giving things a go; as we committed to having the courage to try new activities (sometimes followed by a healthy dose of ‘flearning’, a place where so much rich learning occurs!); as we each committed to letting others be free to be who they are; as – in the Anglican tradition – we celebrated the wonderful diversity of life and the equally wonderful diversity of the All Saints’ community. College Captain James led by example, discovering and then sharing with us all at Assemblies the joy of crocheting, a new talent brought to him courtesy of the kind and patient input of his grandmother! Amongst other things 2023 saw, to everyone’s joy, the return of our much-loved annual night

COLUMBA 2023

After the COVID years of escalating construction prices and international shortages of materials, 2023 also saw us boldly embark once again upon a building program – Waabiny***, our childcare centre which has been so long in the imagining and researching. We are excitedly looking forward to welcoming our first cohort of Little Saints (aged 12 months) in mid-2024. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all members of our community for making 2023 the special year that it was for the All Saints’ community. Thank you to our partner organisations, donors and volunteers, to our ASC parents and Old Saints, to our Board and staff, and most of all to our wonderful 2023 cohort of students, with whom it has truly been a joy and an honour to work and learn and laugh alongside! I am sure you will love revisiting 2023 in the pages that follow. Ms Belinda Provis Principal

FROM THE CHAIR OF THE COLLEGE BOARD THE COLLEGE’S VISION IS TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD. Our mission is to achieve this vision by partnering with our families, community and the Anglican Church to empower our students to develop their potential, becoming confident, compassionate and committed to worthwhile service to local and global communities. Every five years, the College develops a strategic plan to help guide the community to achieve this mission. The current five-year plan, Benang concludes at the end of 2023 and the Board is very excited that a new strategic plan is being developed. This new plan will build on Benang and will identify the opportunities and challenges the College and its community will face over the next five years, helping it to navigate a pathway to achieve successful outcomes for our students and staff and to make that positive difference in our world. The College has achieved many positive outcomes over the past 12 months. This includes the completion and opening of the new Operations Centre, Boola Maarakool which provides a central hub for personnel, plant and equipment. Earlier this year, the Board approved the development of Waabiny, our Childcare Centre which will extend the College’s educational offering to children as young as 12 months old. It is anticipated the project will be completed in mid-2024 and will benefit existing and future ASC families, staff and the broader community. The Board is also delighted at the growth and success of our Fremantle campus, The Studio School, which offers project-based learning opportunities to students in Years 10 to 12. The Board acknowledges that the College is able to provide the unique and innovative educational journey that our students experience due to the employment of dedicated and talented teaching, administration and support staff. As such, the Board was delighted when the College was named by The Educator as one of one of the nation’s 5-Star

Employers of Choice for 2023, the winners being determined by a survey of employees. The Board also acknowledges the efforts of our Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, and the Leadership Team in achieving this recognition of All Saints’ as one of the best educational workplaces in Australia. During the year, the Board also commenced a review of the governance and operations of the All Saints’ College Foundation to ensure that it is optimally placed to assist the College achieve its goals, and we look forward to seeing the fruits of this work in the years ahead. Finally, I thank my fellow Board and committee members who volunteer on both the College Board and the Foundation Board and whose talents and tireless contributions to the successful governance of the College are very much appreciated.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DJOOWAK: THE BEYOND BOUNDARIES INSTITUTE IN 2023, DJOOWAK: THE BEYOND BOUNDARIES INSTITUTE (BBI) AFFIRMED ITS PLACE AS A RESPECTED LEADER IN THE WORLD OF EDUCATION, AS WE WELCOMED RENOWNED LEADERS AND TRANSFORMATIONAL THINKERS TO WORK WITH OUR STAFF AND WITH EDUCATORS FROM ACROSS WA AND AUSTRALIA. All Saints’ College and the BBI welcomed back to Perth the Institute’s patron and education transformer, Professor Yong Zhao, who spoke with students about their ideas and projects, and was inspired by the innovative lens through which they view the world. In addition, we welcomed guest speakers author David Price OBE and Louka Parry, founder and CEO of The Learning Future. David led a series of Professional Learning events, exploring how mindsets, operating systems, leadership and culture work together to create outstanding places to work and learn. In Louka’s captivating presentation ‘Fully Human – Cultivating our Learning’, he shared insights from his global work in the field of social-emotional learning, explored the capabilities needed to thrive in our future, and encouraged us to remember that we are all ‘fully human’. The BBI was pleased to host the inaugural ReimaginED23 Conference in Fremantle in collaboration with the Woodleigh Institute, which provided a unique setting for deep reflection, collaboration and learning around the challenges for the emerging future of education during workshops, performances, storytelling and social sessions. Our speakers included renowned expert on innovation and entrepreneurship Dr Tony Wagner; Professor Glenn Savage who offered insights into education policy through the metaphor of permaculture and gardening; Professor Mette Boell from MIT and the Centre for Systems Awareness who offered insights into how generative social fields can support flourishing school cultures; Professor Sandra Milligan from University of Melbourne exploring the work of developing and measuring through next-

COLUMBA 2023

generation metrics, complex competencies; Ernie Dingo AM, who shared with us his story and spoke of the importance of storytelling in education; and Jan Owen AM whose inspiring work with Learning Creates Australia asks us to consider, in the age of AI, how ‘we are more’ and that education needs to support more than traditional knowledge and skills that can be replicated. The BBI is grateful for the support of an incredible Advisory Group who has supported the work of the Institute through a focus firstly on the world of AI and its implications for education, business and industry. Secondly, the group, led by Jan Owen and Professor Erica McWilliam, explored the ‘shape’ we need our workers (and, therefore, students) to be: Key-shaped, T-shaped, Y-shaped and the ‘jagged profile’ that we need to develop and support. A prominent focus of our research and development this year, alongside our outreach and advocacy with government and WA educators, has been the assessing and reporting on complex capabilities that students require to be successful in the world of work. During the third year of our partnership with the University of Melbourne, we implemented significant action research projects that enabled our Year 5 and 8 students to be assessed on these competencies, and have generated learner profiles that showcase the demonstration of their knowledge and development in areas such as Agency in Learning, Collaboration, Communication, Quality Thinking, both critical and creative, and Active Citizenship. 2024 will see the further growth and development of this work and of the reach of the BBI under the leadership of Mr Cameron Thorn who joins the College next year as Director of Djoowak: The Beyond Boundaries Institute, as well as becoming Lead of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy of WA—an initiative developed by the All Saints College’ Beyond Boundaries Institute, Malka Foundation, Curtin University, Spacecubed, St Catherine’s College and the Education Department.

FROM THE COLLEGE CHAPLAIN HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO BE ABLE TO REFLECT BACK OVER THE YEAR SO FAR, CELEBRATE ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES AND EVENTS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY TOGETHER AND REMEMBER HOW WE HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THE BUSY AND STRESSFUL TIMES WE HAVE FACED. I am very thankful to be part of this great community of staff, students, families and alumni. We hit the ground running this year with everything back to normal in Chapel, and it has been wonderful to meet in person each week with all students from Years 3–12. We have walked through some of Jesus’ parables together, done a deep dive into the story of Moses during Term 2, and in Term 3 we have been exploring some of the Bible’s ancient poems and songs in the Book of Psalms. They may be dated, but they still have plenty to say! Students have served us well in reading for our services, and our Junior School classes have shared their amazing creativity as they explore each Chapel theme. As always, our Easter service this year was a highlight. How lovely it was to have the whole College together, from Pre-Primary to Year 12. We thought about Jesus washing his disciples’ feet and what it means to be a servant leader. The College Choir supported our singing beautifully, as they so often do. Before the service, students from the Early Childhood Centre (ECC) and Junior School came up to The Common to decorate a cross with flowers and tie ribbons on ropes between the trees, to represent the hope that Easter brings, while Senior School students were invited to do the same during Recess and Lunch. In Term 1 this year, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting each ECC class for a ‘classroom chapel’. It was great to spend some time with them in that environment, as well as in our Early Childhood

Chapels, where we celebrated having Jesus as a friend, and together heard the story of Noah and the Ark. I hope to get back for more ‘classroom chapels’ soon. This year, for the first time, we have had a Wellbeing Captain in the Senior School, and I very much enjoyed working with Adeolu (Year 12) and overseeing our excellent Wellbeing Council. The Council has enthusiastically embraced opportunities to support student wellbeing. I also thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Year 12 retreat this year; getting to know Year 11 students through Chaplain’s Check-Ins; supporting the Year 10 Amana Advocates; being part of Junior and Senior School assemblies; running a creative writing cocurricular activity; spending time supporting students and staff; working with the Wellbeing Team; being part of other special services from time to time; teaching English, French and Religion and Philosophy; and, of course, visiting students and staff at The Studio School. There have been so many highlights this year, but one excellent learning experience was the privilege of attending the Anglican Schools Australia conference in August this year. This was a wonderful event with over 200 delegates representing a mix of Anglican school chaplains, Religious Studies teachers and school leaders. With some excellent speakers and workshops, and countless opportunities to network, I came away refreshed and with many interesting ideas to follow up. This year also included All Saints’ Day, Twilight Carols, Year 12 final celebrations, and many other wonderful activities and events. As I continue to pray for and work in this community, I am thankful for all the opportunities that are presented to me, and I look forward to what is to come this year, and beyond, knowing that God is within us, alongside us and for us, always.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF JUNIOR SCHOOL REFLECTING ON OUR 2023 THEME, ‘BE MORE YOU’, HAS ENCOURAGED US TO BE VULNERABLE, SHED THE PROTECTIVE LAYERS WE BUILD AROUND OURSELVES, AND EMBRACE OUR TRUE, UNIQUE SELVES. Witnessing our students embrace their individual passions has been a heartwarming experience. The students ventured into new cocurricular activities for a challenge, where the essence of ‘Be More You’ lies in nurturing a mindset that celebrates individuality. Our students have also been encouraged to respect each other as unique, allow others to ‘Be More You’, and to celebrate difference. Throughout the year our students have eagerly delved into inquiry-based learning, immersed themselves in our Outdoor Learning Programs and Bush School, and embarked on numerous journeys of self-discovery. Our student leaders, Maya and Veer, have been consistently proactive and positive, representing the Junior School students admirably on many occasions. One highlight was the opening of the Operations Centre, Boola Maarakool, and the Honouring the Ground event for our Childcare Centre. Aligned with our College theme, a focus on wellbeing has been at the heart of all our initiatives. Practising Habit 7, ‘Sharpen the Saw’, is woven into the fabric of our community. Our Chapel services have echoed this theme, emphasising mindfulness, self-care and empathy towards others. We have been encouraged to be ‘Awe Chasers’, to notice and engage with the beauty in our environment. The introduction of Bimba, our wellbeing dog, into our Junior School community this year has already made a profound impact. The many benefits of wellbeing dogs in an educational setting are evident in the way our students connect with Bimba. She has become a calming presence in the classroom. Many parents have taken the opportunity to gather together for Triple P sessions, to support their children and also themselves in the challenging role of being parents. It has been delightful to work with families in this way. It is grounding to speak together

COLUMBA 2023

about the challenges of parenting and work through the renowned principles of Triple P to add to our parenting tool kit. Junior School Psychologist, Ms Sheleen Davis, and Learning Support Coordinator Mrs Jeanette Sealy, have thoroughly enjoyed offering these sessions to our families. A significant achievement this year has been the strides made in our Childcare Centre project, set to open during Semester 2, 2024. Working through its milestones has involved collaborating with a highly creative and expert team. We have received feedback and wellresearched input from our students towards shaping the design of the landscape, whilst respecting our Boodja (land). The completion of this facility next year will mark a significant milestone, as we open our doors to children as young as 12 months during the most fundamental first 1,000 days of their lives. As we bid farewell to longstanding staff members throughout the year, we acknowledge the remarkable contributions of Mrs Gail Smith and Mrs Jillian Dinsdale, who have both made extraordinary contributions to the life of the Junior School. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to them and wish them well for the future. Thank you to everyone for their individual contribution this year in creating and fostering a positive and happy environment for our Junior School community.

– George Bernard Shaw

Over our time as the 2023 Junior School Captains, we have realised what a leader really is. It isn’t about what other people want you to do, it is what you do for others. By being a leader we encourage and motivate our peers, even if they aren’t good friends. By being a leader, we help people wherever we go so they can be themselves. By being a leader, we set a good example and are a role model for younger years. When we began our leadership journey, we knew it would be challenging at times, but like everything there were ups and downs. The year started off a little bit shakily as we didn’t know what to expect. But as it progressed we became more experienced. It was fun doing new things as a leader, such as running assemblies, helping with College tours and running Morning Fitness. We were so blessed to attend exciting events as Captains, such as leadership conventions, meeting new students and running festivals. So much fun! As the year ends, it is not the end of our time as leaders but the start of a much bigger journey. Yes, our badge is no longer valid, but our heart is. As we look back on this year, we are grateful for the opportunities, friendships and memories that we have shared. We are excited for the future and the possibilities that it holds. We would like to thank Ms Crane and Mrs Blaxell and all of the other staff for supporting us through the year. It was definitely an unforgettable experience. Maya Ananthram and Veer Sareen

FROM THE JUNIOR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT CAPTAINS 2023 has been a thrilling year, with lots of events and opportunities to do our bit. It started off with two ambitious students passionate about learning and protecting the environment. This year there has been a massive growth of awareness, and an amazing opportunity to shift students’ mindsets and make them think more about the 4 R’s: reuse, refuse, reduce and recycle. Throughout the year staff and students have been helping to make a positive difference at All Saints’ College. There have been several events, one of those being the annual Community Tree Planting Day. There is also the after school cocurricular Sustainability Club, which drives environmental initiatives and promotes student agency. Being the Environment Captains isn’t always easy. When we first started it was just helping with putting the bins out, and we found out that there are some residential spiders; let’s just say, it did not go as well as you might have hoped… When we first spoke at Assembly, it was hard in the moment but worth it afterwards. Even if it is just picking up a piece of plastic or helping an injured animal, it is still a difference. A small difference can be part of a big difference. Don’t ever get discouraged, because we can win this war on waste. Thank you for being that difference. We appreciate the significant support from students, staff and community members; we cannot thank you enough. Our passion for the environment brought us joy as well as responsibility. We adore the College and all the opportunities and support it has given to all the student leaders. Thank you for this wonderful year, and good luck to next year’s Environment Captains!

FROM THE JUNIOR SCHOOL SERVICE CAPTAINS We have been so grateful for such great opportunities to grow and ‘flearn’ throughout this year. We would like to share some tips and opportunities we had as leaders. We attended a conference on how to be a great leader for all of you, but we didn’t just learn how to be good leaders: we also learned how to be good people, and that will help us be even better leaders. We advise you to always check your Teams and make sure you are organised, or many things will be forgotten and you will miss deadlines. You need to plan what you are doing for Fitness the day before, so you will know what you will need that morning, instead of stressing and playing a boring game. You need to plan when you’re going to write a script or prayer with the teacher that is teaching that period. Do not leave anything to the last second.

Reflecting on how we think of the role, compared to the start of the year it is incredibly different now. At the start of the year we thought it was just Fitness, Chapel and writing prayers, but it is so much more. It’s waking up early, taking time out of class, and running events. It has been so incredible and amazing to be able to help you. We like running Fitness, we love it when you like what we run; we like doing Chapel and Assembly, but even more when you enjoy it. We are grateful that you all could make our last year of Junior School so much better than we expected it to be, and we wish you all luck for next year. Fay Rendell and James Nelson Year 6

SENIOR SCHOOL 2023

FROM THE COWAN HOUSE CAPTAINS THIS YEAR WE HAD THE INCREDIBLE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS THE COWAN HOUSE CAPTAINS. IT HAS BEEN AN UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE, AND WE ARE SO PROUD TO HAVE LED THE AMAZING AND CARING COMMUNITY THAT WE CALL COWAN. We started the year off with a bang, placing second at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. We see this achievement as a testament to the dedication shown by the students in ensuring all races were filled. In Cowan we prioritise giving everything a go and trying our best, regardless of experience. Every Cowanite has done that, leading to such an incredible year. During Term 2, Cowan hosted the Teach Learn Grow Fundraiser, an event with a focus on raising awareness of remote and rural students experiencing educational disadvantage. Despite the challenges that arose, it was a great success, and we would like to thank everyone involved. In Term 3 we all gathered bright and early at the Aquatic Centre for the annual Cowan Breakfast of Champions to celebrate the House and get

everyone excited for the Athletics Carnival. We are proud and honoured to call Cowan the Champion House – the first time since 2004! We know that this win is due to the high levels of participation and enthusiasm of the Cowan students; there was not a single event without a competitor! We would like to give a massive thank you to Mr Rouse for his constant support and advice over the past year, which has allowed us to grow as both leaders and people. We would also like to thank the Tutors for their ongoing encouragement and support – Cowan is very lucky to have you. Lastly, we would like to thank our amazing 2023 Cowan House Council for all their hard work and dedication this year; we could not have done a fraction of what we achieved without you.

FROM THE COWAN HOUSE CAPTAINS BEING THE COWAN HOUSE CAPTAINS FOR 2023 HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET. In Year 5 looking at the leaders, we felt ambitious and not ready to face challenges, but slowly as we moved through the stages of leadership our confidence grew and grew. We began to realise what it took to be a good leader and what a privilege it was to be selected for this role. All the opportunities that we’ve had continued to remind us how lucky and fortunate we were to have the role of House Captains. All the Carnivals that we have done, such as Swimming and Athletics, have made us realise how much we enjoy spending time with Cowan House. Seeing the joyful Cowan spirit and the kindness in all the students makes us so pleased, as well as collaborating with other leaders and working

with them to make a difference. It hasn’t always been easy and we have had a few ups and downs, but we have always found a way to go around them and succeed. We are so grateful for everyone’s support throughout this journey. Going from simply doing Morning Fitness as a Year 5 to running it as a leader was a big step for our leadership and organisational skills. I think that we can say we worked hard and did our best. We are so shocked how fast the year has gone and how everyone is progressing, ready to start the next stage of the school journey. We would like to say thanks to the staff and students that helped us along our way of being a leader. We will miss being Junior School leaders, but are thankful that we have unlocked new skills that can help us into the future. Anna Olukolu and Saaya Ponasanapalli Year 6

SENIOR SCHOOL 2023

FROM THE DURACK HOUSE CAPTAINS WHAT AN AMAZING YEAR 2023 HAS BEEN FOR DURACK HOUSE! WE HAD SO MANY MOMENTS WHERE ALL WE COULD DO WAS SIT BACK AND WATCH WITH SO MUCH PRIDE IN EACH AND EVERY STUDENT IN DURACK. Back to its usual grandeur, the Interhouse Swimming Carnival was just one of so many amazing highlights this year. It was an extremely enjoyable day with all Senior School students at HBF Stadium, all cheering for their Houses. It was a very close competition this year and every student from Durack found a way to participate, whether it was swimming, marshalling or cheering from the stands. We were so very grateful for that, as it helped push us over the edge to our fourth win in a row! We also had very pleasing participation and results in the Interhouse Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals, coming second and fourth respectively. On both these days, all Durack students participated in some way to the best of their ability, and we thank them for their efforts.

ASC HOUSES

House Choir was also extremely exciting, with Durack singing songs by the Beach Boys and claiming another win! Our R U OK? Day Fundraiser looked a little different this year. Rather than raising funds, we wanted to raise more awareness about the charity, so we had presentations in Chapel, sold badges and wrist bands for a gold coin donation, and accessorising your uniform with yellow earned you a free muffin! We are so incredibly proud of Durack’s efforts in 2023! We would like to thank the Tutor teachers and our 2023 House Council for doing an amazing job in supporting Durack across all House events. Our biggest thank you goes to Mr Hill for his unwavering support over the year; we couldn’t have achieved any of these things without him. To Charlie McKell and Jamie Snow, the 2024 House Captains, and to the House Council for next year: good luck. We know that you will do a terrific job leading Durack next year.

FROM THE DURACK HOUSE CAPTAINS AS A STUDENT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNISE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF THE TEAM THAT SITS ALONGSIDE YOU HELPING YOU. Being a student leader is fulfilling and rewarding, and as a team we were pulled in so many different directions. To all our fellow student leaders, thank you. Thank you for making our College fantastic and thank you for showing others that they can be leaders too. Thank you for trying to make the campus a better environment for all our fellow peers. We know that sometimes it feels like all the work you do might not be noticed or that possibly others don’t realise all the effort you have put in, but really everyone cares and has appreciated what we have done. Thank you for giving us the hope to continue to be a student leader on campus. Thank you for being such great role models and an inspiration to all.

Being a student leader has been one of the best things that has ever happened to us. Even if it is learning how to manage the stress of having to go to a meeting on time or being ready to run Morning Fitness in the cold winter mornings! This was balanced out with some great opportunities, such as being able to meet Archie or Bimba for the first time or seeing the smiles on people’s faces at events like the Athletics and Cross Country carnivals, proud because they knew that they had done their best. However, the best part of being a student leader was being able to meet new people and having the privilege of introducing them to our College. To future student leaders, good luck and don’t be afraid to take a risk, and try something new, because you never know whose day you might end up positively impacting.

FROM THE FORREST HOUSE CAPTAINS IT HAS BEEN AN HONOUR TO SUPPORT THE WONDERFUL FORREST FAMILY THROUGHOUT 2023!

their valuable time to support us all. They make us feel welcome each and every morning and help us with the big and little things.

We feel truly blessed to have incredible students in Forrest House who are always willing to support each other day-to-day and with House activities, carnivals and cultural events. We had such a great time at Battle of the Choirs where we could show our sense of fun and energetic spirit, as we proudly sang and danced, all decked out in green!

The 2023 House Council also continuously stood by Forrest House, attending meetings, proposing ideas and organising House events. We sincerely thank the Council and hope the rest of your years at ASC are special.

We have also had the privilege of providing our ongoing support to Wheelchairs for Kids. This is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organisation that aims to provide wheelchairs to underprivileged children around the world. In 2023 we ran an awareness campaign that saw us collecting containers for change, bread tags and soft toys to support this organisation. With the support of Ms Dolan who gave up her time and shared her skills in plant propagation, we were able to make the College a little greener in the form of propagated plants in recycled glassware that were placed around the College. On behalf of Forrest House, we owe huge thanks to our support team. This includes our dedicated Tutor Group teachers who continuously give up

ASC HOUSES

We also must give massive thanks to our fearless leader, Ms Haendel. Her constant encouragement and dedication to our House is superb. This year, as Captains we have gained further insight into the amount of work she does for Forrest House, and we were supported by her unconditionally. Finally, we would love to give one last ‘Thunderclap’ to all of Forrest House for all the memories, friendship, and support. We have loved getting to know all of you and appreciate when you come up to say ‘hi’! To Phoebe Jarvis and Samantha Smith, we wish you both the best of luck as the reigning Forrest Captains who will lead the Forrest Family into 2024. Forrest Means Family, always.

JUNIOR SCHOOL 2023

FROM THE FORREST HOUSE CAPTAINS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT BEING A LEADER IS THE OPPORTUNITIES. You get to know everyone in your House and cohort. Another great thing was all the special and important things that the Year 6 leaders could do, like helping the teachers run Thrive in 5, running Morning Fitness and leading all the members of the House at the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals. These are great because you have a lot of fun getting to know people from different years. We would like to thank our fellow leaders for everything that they did to help us during this journey. We appreciated how everyone had our backs if we needed them, and we enjoyed being able to help them if they needed us. It wasn’t always easy to be a student leader. There was a lot of work behind the scenes, and there were especially challenging times when

there was so much to do and it felt that there was just not enough time, for example when we helped organise people for the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals. However, there was also the satisfaction of winning both Carnivals with our House! Another challenge of being a leader is being organised enough to come to school every day at 8.00am and with an idea about what you want to do for Morning Fitness. That wasn’t always easy! Working together as Captains we have been able to achieve so many things. We’d like to thank all the members of the Forrest family. It has been such an honour to lead Forrest this year, and we hope that next year’s new student leaders find it as rewarding as we did. Rafael Alonso and Indiana Podesta Year 6

FROM THE MURDOCH HOUSE CAPTAINS OVER THIS YEAR, AS MURDOCH HOUSE CAPTAINS WE ENCOUNTERED MANY CHALLENGES, EXCITING TASKS AND OPPORTUNITIES. The end of Term 2 saw a major change for Murdoch, when the incredible Mr Stevens stepped down from his position as Head of House. However, we were lucky enough to have this position filled by Ms Mast, who has thrown herself into the role and proved to be an amazing support to both of us. After last year’s success, the Ice Cream Stall returned as our first major event of 2023. While the inaugural event was run by Murdoch, this year it became a multi-House initiative. We faced many obstacles in both planning and running the event. However, despite these, it was a great first outing for the House Captains Council. Fast forward to Term 3 and it was time for Murdoch’s annual pizza fundraiser for Rebound WA. Senior School students could pre-purchase pizza and garlic bread, which they collected and enjoyed on the day. We were also lucky enough to work with some of the Junior School

ASC HOUSES

leaders to involve the Year 6 students. This, in combination with the ‘Play on The Common’ lunchtime activities, created an amazing community event that brought together Senior and Junior School students. Close to 200 pizzas and over 100 garlic breads later, we had once again raised over $1,000 for Rebound WA! A major goal for us this year was to implement more grassroot activities. This saw the introduction of Tutor Group games such as UNO, Spoons and Wordle, which definitely brought out everyone’s competitive side! The initiative was a roaring success and looks to continue in future years. Finally, a massive thank you to our Heads of House, Mr Stevens and Ms Mast, and our House Council for their contributions and efforts over the course of this year. We couldn’t have achieved what we did without them. It has been an enormous privilege to lead Murdoch for the past 12 months, and we wish Genevieve Ho and Scarlett McVeigh all the best as they work under the amazing Mrs Bassett in 2024.

FROM THE MURDOCH HOUSE CAPTAINS A LEADER NOT ONLY LEADS A GROUP BUT SERVES THOSE WHO PLACE THEIR TRUST IN THEM. As Murdoch House Captains, seeing Murdoch thrive and demonstrate its full potential this year was outstanding. This year was an experience that will never be forgotten. When we started off, we were apprehensive and unaware of the journey ahead of us. We stumbled, made hasty decisions and thought things would easily go our way. This was our first time in a leadership role and we wanted to be the best. We gave it our all and loved every single moment of it. One great opportunity was the new Lunch Buddies initiative. This meant we could help younger students that wanted to play or just chat. Another great thing that we got to do was Morning Fitness. This was so much fun, because every day we were challenged to think of new enjoyable games that were fun for everyone to do in the morning.

We have made some great memories this year, including one of our favourite days – Wellbeing Day. Wellbeing Day was great because we could harness our leadership skills by running activities such as sport, art or mindfulness for all the classes. Running our first Assembly was also a day we won’t forget; it was definitely the most entertaining show we’ve seen in our lives, and we were on the stage. However, the highlight of our leadership journey was winning the Spirit Cup at the Years 3–6 Interhouse Athletics Carnival. We were so proud of our fellow Murdochians who came together in a united spirit and displayed House pride in its glory. This memorable adventure as Murdoch House Captains will always remain in our hearts, and we are grateful for the opportunity. Good luck to next year’s Murdoch House Captains. GO MURDOCH!

FROM THE O’CONNOR HOUSE CAPTAINS AFTER LOOKING UP TO THE HOUSE CAPTAINS THROUGHOUT OUR TIME AT THE COLLEGE, WE WERE SUPER EXCITED TO FOLLOW IN THEIR EXEMPLARY FOOTSTEPS. At the commencement of this year, our vision for O’Connor was to make the environment of the House as positive and as inclusive as possible. The first event of the year was the Interhouse Swimming Carnival, and this set the tone for the year. It was a fabulous day full of costumes, cheering, and a few belly flops! Our emphasis for all the interhouse carnivals was to get everyone involved and have no lanes left empty. An exciting accomplishment was winning the Cross Country Carnival, which was the result of everyone getting involved and giving it their best shot. We loved cheering on the younger age groups before their races and running warmups. In addition, we were awarded the first ever Spirit Award at the Athletics Carnival. This was a new award in 2023 that was presented to the House with the most spirit on the day. This was an amazing experience and a memorable final carnival for all the Year 12s.

ASC HOUSES

This year has been full of memories we will forever cherish, and we are so grateful for the part we have been able to play in contributing to O’Connor’s honourable legacy. While we will be sad to leave at the end of this year, we are excitedly awaiting what the 2024 Captains, Emily Masaryk and Mitch Robinson, have in store. We would like to thank all the O’Connor Tutor Group teachers for all they do for the House, and for fostering the enthusiastic culture that makes O’Connor. Our biggest inspiration of all, Mr Beath (or, as we call him, Beathy) has shown us the reins and helped us make O’Connor truly ours. He has supported us through the highs and lows this year has presented us with, and helped make this year absolutely ‘gnoxy’ (Mr Beath’s turn of phrase)! O’Connor would not be what it is today without the enthusiasm of our students. We would like to thank our amazing House for encouraging us to become better leaders. It is forever an honour to be in O’Connor! Amberley Baker and Ayona Basu Year 12

JUNIOR SCHOOL 2023

FROM THE O’CONNOR HOUSE CAPTAINS SOMEHOW IT IS SO EASY TO REMEMBER OURSELVES AS BRANDNEW YEAR 5 STUDENTS LAST YEAR. Little did we know we would become known in the Junior School as O’Connor House Captains. Good memories include the highlight of the Years 3–6 Interhouse Athletics Carnival. The main memory of the day was getting to school early and decorating the O’Connor bay, then helping the other House Captains decorate their bays. Another was earlier in the year, when all the student leaders walked to Bull Creek Station and hopped on the train to the Convention Centre to attend the GRIP conference for the day. There were so many activities to do, like quizzes and meeting new people in the room. It was a great introduction to becoming a leader. Our proudest moment this year was winning the Interhouse Cross Country Carnival. Another achievement for O’Connor House was coming second in the Athletics Carnival, one of our

favourite events of the year. The launch of our student leader Lunch Buddies initiative was also a very proud moment, connecting Year 2 students with new friends across the Junior School. Future leaders, there are many challenges as part of your leadership. If you want to motivate the students for Morning Fitness, you’ll have to work hard to find fun and new ideas that will excite and engage them. Sometimes you will have different demands on your time. This might involve taking time out of class to have meetings or prepare for events. The good thing we have learnt is you still have lots of fun throughout the year doing what you do every day. We would like to thank all of O’Connor for all their achievements, helping us and guiding us through this year. Thank you to our fellow Year 6 students and our teachers for helping us through the year. Lawson Adams and Tabitha Tiang Year 6

FROM THE STIRLING HOUSE CAPTAINS AS 2023 HOUSE CAPTAINS FOR STIRLING HOUSE, WE ARE VERY PROUD OF ALL THAT STIRLING HAS ACCOMPLISHED, CREATING A REWARDING EXPERIENCE THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET. Stirling has always been a family for us, and we were so incredibly excited to give back to the community. This year we had the aim of bringing Stirling closer together and creating a safe space for all. Throughout the year we have had many highlights which were possible because of Stirling’s House spirit, participation and commitment, especially at the interhouse carnivals, where we were incredibly impressed by willingness of students to jump in and lend a hand when needed. Another highlight for us is the Battle of the Choirs. We had so much fun in the process, and it was so inspiring to see the high level of energy and passion of the Stirling community. This was the first year Stirling hosted Beyond Blue Week, with the aim of raising awareness of mental health. Alongside us, the Stirling

ASC HOUSES

House Council planned a series of events and activities to promote Beyond Blue and focus on wellbeing. This was an excellent opportunity for the Council to work together to help make a positive difference. Some of the activities we ran over the week included sport games, free fruit on The Common and our annual Beyond Blue Bake Sale. We ended up raising a total of $705, and all the proceeds went to Beyond Blue. As Stirling House Captains, we have learnt many new skills to take away from this experience, including resilience, leadership and courage, and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity. This year has been absolutely amazing, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our Tutor teachers, the Stirling House Council, the House Captains Council and Ms Stieber. We wish the best of luck to the 2024 Stirling House Captains, Olivia Loke and Hina Saegusa. We know Stirling has been left in good hands and we have no doubt you will smash it!

JUNIOR SCHOOL 2023

FROM THE STIRLING HOUSE CAPTAINS WE ARE GRATEFUL AND PROUD TO HAVE BEEN THE 2023 STIRLING HOUSE CAPTAINS. Having been gifted this position, we have worked hard to fulfill the honour. It has come with a lot of responsibilities as well as times of pressure, and we have always kept in mind that we are meant to serve others. Even in challenging times, we were always happy to help someone if they needed our help. As the year began, we had so much fun decorating our board. It was hard to get an idea for our board, but we worked together and found an amazing design that really represented the spirit of Stirling. Soon we realised that the key to success as a student leader was to collaborate. For example, running Morning Fitness was tough at first, but once we figured out how to work as a team, we started to understand the flow of being a Captain and it became a pleasure.

We have had many challenges along the way. Writing the Assembly script was hard, but working together we were able to write it and were proud of how it turned out. Running the Assembly was also nerve wracking, but once we were on stage together, we were excited. Being able to help with Thrive in 5 was a highlight. Teaching the new students games was challenging, but the smiles on their faces made it worth it. You can probably tell that we’ve said a lot about working together because when you start working together it makes everything a lot easier – you can get things done faster and you can get even better ideas. So to all the leaders of All Saints’ College: be ready for all that is going to come at you and always ask for help. Raina Sun and Benjamin Pooley Year 6

THE

AND

FROM THE HEAD OF ARTS AND DIRECTOR OF HOTHOUSE COMPANY “THE TRUE PURPOSE OF ARTS EDUCATION IS NOT NECESSARILY TO CREATE MORE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS OR ARTISTS. IT’S TO CREATE MORE COMPLETE HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE CRITICAL THINKERS, WHO HAVE CURIOUS MINDS, WHO CAN LEAD PRODUCTIVE LIVES.” – Kelly Pollock

Having spent a weekend at the ReimaginED Conference in Fremantle listening to some of the world’s best academics and thinkers in the field of education, I came away reflecting on the world our young people will grow up in and how best to prepare them for this ever-changing landscape. We spoke at length about the need to do education differently, as the current system of education established during the industrial revolution no longer serves the needs of this

COLUMBA 2023

new world. In this rapidly changing world where routine tasks can be automated by AI, young people must be equipped with the tools to thrive and innovate. In the AI era, creativity is not just a desirable trait: it is a necessity. As Kelly Pollock captured in the quotation above, an Arts education is the best foundation for developing creative, curious and well-rounded humans who actively contribute to society.

MORE COMPLETE HUMAN BEINGS The Arts foster community and hold the power to unite individuals from different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. Arts at ASC is proud of its continued contribution to community, and 2023 was no exception. Our annual Connected Art Exhibition saw much-needed funds raised to provide optimal outcomes for our friends at Nulsen Disability Services. Now in its eighth year, the perspectives our students and community members gain from participating in Connected and painting for such a worthy cause are invaluable. In the spirit of community and All Saints’ College’s deep commitment to reconciliation, we welcomed our NAIDOC Week Visual Artist in Residence Zali Morgan. Zali is a Whadjuk Ballardong and Wilman Noongar woman, and the Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Zali ran printmaking workshops with our Indigenous students. Her personal art practice pushes the boundaries of what audiences expect of Aboriginal visual artists and the viewer’s understanding of Aboriginal art. Through learning about and considering the perspectives of others, we become more complete, open-minded human beings. Our deep learning about Indigenous culture culminated with Dance Artist in Residence Tara Gower from the internationally acclaimed Bangarra Dance Theatre. A Yawuru woman from Broome, Tara has been a dancer with Bangarra, Australia’s premier Indigenous contemporary Dance company, since 2006. In a series of workshops and technical masterclasses, Tara shared her stories and art with ASC students and staff, as well as students and staff from surrounding schools. The result was a deeper appreciation for the artform that is Dance and for Australian Indigenous culture. We are grateful that through HotHouse Company we are able to connect with such influential artists.

CRITICAL THINKERS The Arts promote critical thinking, deep analysis and the ability to see things from a multitude of different perspectives. In May, HotHouse Company was fortunate to host Frantic Assembly, one of the UK’s most successful and best loved theatre companies, in a week-long residency. Facilitators Sean Hollands and Simon Pittman worked with Year 11 and 12 students on physical approaches to devising. We also hosted a two-day teacher professional development, when teachers from Perth and as far away as Albany, Geraldton and Broome, came to learn more about their distinctive and physically captivating approach to creating original theatre. Iridescence saw the collaboration of Arts, Design and Life Skills to present a stunning showcase marking the end of Transition for our Year 8 students. In collaboration with the University of Melbourne, and as part of the College’s work on complex competencies, Arts students were challenged to think critically about communication as we explored competencies through process and artwork. Throughout our collaborative project we explored how we communicate with others and how we can become more effective communicators. One of the highlights of the 2023 Arts year was the College Production The Addams Family – the New Musical. Over 50 student actors, dancers, musicians and technicians from across the College were involved. The result was a visually ‘spooktacular’ journey where audiences were encouraged to ‘define normal?’

COLUMBA 2023

CURIOUS MINDS In this age of rapid technological advancement, human creativity has become one of the most highly-prized assets in the modern workforce. The ability to think outside the square, to explore new parameters, conceptualise and push the boundaries, are skills honed through studying the Arts. During 2023, ASC Arts nurtured creative and curious minds through a variety of initiatives. Susan Flavell, HotHouse Company Visual Artist in Residence undertook a two-week residency, giving our students an inside look at her art practice exploring animals, the environment, the unconscious and the fantastic. Again, we celebrated the Arts practice of ASC students through our rotating exhibitions in the Centre for Performing Arts Foyer. It is such a joy to see the talent, curiosity and creativity ASC students possess. These qualities were again evident in the Years 8–10 drama production The Good, the Bard and the Ugly, which showcased selected scenes from Shakespeare’s best-known plays. Students rose to the challenge and presented a hilarious and

COLUMBA 2023

thoroughly engaging performance. Developing drama skills and confidence were the focus of the Into the Mask residency led by creative mastermind Alethea Dreyer for Years 7–9 Drama Club. The students enjoyed performing their work for family and friends. In Media, students’ curiosity was ignited through a wide variety of engaging projects, including producing 3D music videos, special effects production, cinematography techniques and short film and television production. Year 11 students produced their film Crowman 3 and the Valedictory video, and Year 12 students studied the curious artform that is Surrealism, collaborating to create their own film. Curiosity inspires creativity. The ability to interpret a concept through movement is quite the artistic challenge, and our dancers rose to the occasion in the College Dance Concert Crescendo in Term 2, and Throughline in Term 3. Many of the works presented were choreographed by ASC students who enjoyed the challenge of taking a work from concept to stage. Audiences witnessed the joy, teamwork, diversity and strong technique on display. Developing technique in ASC dancers is an integral part of the program. Dance scholarship students participated in an excursion to the West Australian Ballet Centre in Maylands to watch some of WA’s best dancers in action and to participate in a masterclass.

PRODUCTIVE LIVES The advantage of studying Arts at ASC is its crossover into real world. Our students have many opportunities via HotHouse Company and curriculum to work alongside practising artists in a diverse range of disciplines. They learn about career pathways in the Arts, and our programs offer career opportunities to established and emerging artists, including artistic Old Saints who regularly teach and mentor current students and assist with College productions. Our Year 11 Media students interviewed practising artists, including AJ Betts, Evan Rickman, Susan Flavell, Andrew Dawson and Greg Autard, in The CAVE to create episodes for The Path Creative podcast. These interviews share artists’ stories and experiences with our College community, and are available on Spotify. ASC Arts supports teacher professional development, and in 2023 began a partnership through HotHouse Company with the Perth International Arts Festival to deliver ‘Techie Teachers’. These four-day workshops were aimed at developing teachers’ knowledge and skills in technical theatre. Our staff and those from surrounding schools enjoyed learning about AV, lighting, sound and QLab to enhance their practice. Finally, we acknowledge the part the Arts plays in promoting positive wellbeing. This year saw ASC

host its second Arts Day celebration, which was even bigger and better than last year! With the support of Friends of the Arts, we were able to provide an uplifting day that brought the College together in a celebration of everything Arts. From the Media Extravaganza showcasing 2023 student productions and a hip hop exhibition by The Society Crew to the incredible tunes of DJ Diger Rokwell and the Traversal band, we celebrated artistic expression in grand style. We commend our 2023 Arts Captain Jade Wheeler for her commitment to the event and her vibrant Dance Concert mash up. It was a spectacular day that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. As 2023 draws to a close, we invite students to challenge themselves and find their art over the coming year. It is an asset to be able to express oneself, to create, to explore, to dream. Such qualities are not only integral to developing a sense of self, but are the new benchmark to succeed in the modern workforce. As renowned American Creative Arts educator and advocate Kelly Pollock concedes…“At a time when innovative thinking, creative problem solving and flexibility are highly valued and needed to succeed in today’s economy, the arts provide the most powerful methods for developing these abilities.” Mrs Skye Hegarty Head of Arts and Director of HotHouse Company

In 2023, students in Year 5 studied two texts, The All New Must Have Orange 430 by Michael Speechly and the allegorical text, The Rabbits by John Marsden and Shaun Tan. Orange 430 looks at the theme of recycling and consumerism, and students made their own handheld props from recyclable items. They then looked at advertising themes and created their own advertisements. The Rabbits explores the European Colonisation of Australia and its impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people.

The Junior School Dance Program in 2023 fostered the development of inspirational, creative, physical and artistic skills and responses for all students from Years 1–6. They worked hard to develop self-confidence by communicating their ideas through shapes made by their bodies, finding different and fascinating movement pathways, choreographing and performing short routines in front of their peers, as well as further development and training of their gross motor skills.

Students in Year 6 continued their Drama learning by focusing on techniques such as voice, characterisation, mood and atmosphere, dramatic tension and relationships, and by developing ways to incorporate these elements into performance. They then launched into their major challenge for the year, which was to learn and perform excepts from a musical, requiring them to sing, dance and act on stage.

The primary focus for students in Years 3–6 has been the advancement of practical and compositional skills based on a chosen narrative. Our Year 3–6 students chose to create different stories and dances as part of our Book Week celebrations. The Year 4 students performed their Book Week dances of The School for Good and Evil and The Lion King. For our Year 1 and 2 students, dance explores free movement, including yoga, teamwork and individual skills, activities, games and dance creations, culminating in our annual Early Childhood Centre Nativity Play. This year, over 70 Junior School dancers in our three cocurricular groups showcased their skills at the College Dance Concert, Crescendo, and the College Choreography showcase. Ms Kara Beatty Junior Schools Arts Teacher (Terms 1–3)

FROM THE ARTS CAPTAIN AS A COLLEGIAN, IT HAS BEEN MY PLEASURE TO BE ARTS CAPTAIN FOR 2023. I have enjoyed being part of ASC’s Music, Dance and Drama programs, and encouraging every student to take up the fabulous opportunities and facilities that the College offers. The year started with Pasar Malam, where students and community members came together to enjoy an evening of fun and entertainment, supported by our Contemporary Bands. Semester 1 kicked off with rehearsals for our Musical Production The Addams Family, a collaboration of students, teachers and ASC community, and we finished Term 2 with Crescendo, our Dance Concert which showcased students from the Junior and Senior Schools, covering hip hop, jazz, contemporary and commercial genres. Term 2 saw plenty of Music events, including Recitals, the Scholarship Concert, Strings Night and an ASC Rocks Mojos evening. Aside from concerts and productions, those in the Arts programs were offered a drama Masterclass with UK’s Frantic Assembly, and HotHouse Company organised a lovely evening with Helen Shanahan, supported by Chloe Harrison (Year 12), our Music Captain.

The second half of the year held our ATAR Recital, Ensemble Night and Jazz at The Duke of George. HotHouse Company, in collaboration with our Arts Department, ran the Connected 8 Art Exhibition, raising funds for Nulsen Disability Services, with works auctioned off for this wonderful cause. The highlight of Term 3 was Arts Day, now in its second year. With much organisation from Head of Arts Mrs Skye Hegarty, our wonderful Arts Department and Arts Captains and Council, the day was a great success. It began with ASC’s much-loved traditional Battle of the Choirs, followed by a hip hop dance by The Society Crew and a medley of dances from the Dance Concert. Students entered a cake bakeoff and enjoyed an afternoon of live artists, craft tables, face painting, roaming artists, a Media Extravaganza and more. As the year closes, I would like to thank Mrs Hegarty, Ms Codalonga, Ms Parker, the Arts Department, and Mr Arnold and Mr Glencross. To the Arts Captains and Arts Council – thank you for supporting me this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed being Arts Captain and I take wonderful memories away with me. Jade Wheeler Year 12

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF MUSIC “WITH MUSIC, ONE’S WHOLE FUTURE LIFE IS BRIGHTENED. THIS IS SUCH A TREASURE IN LIFE THAT IT HELPS US OVER MANY TROUBLES AND DIFFICULTIES. MUSIC IS NOURISHMENT, A COMFORTING ELIXIR. MUSIC MULTIPLIES ALL THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND OF VALUE IN LIFE.” – Zoltán Kodály

It is in the study of Music where our students learn values of courage, self-discipline, creativity and resilience, amongst other life skills, and this year was no different. Through our cocurricular program, students were given the opportunity to demonstrate their talents in a variety of ways. Those learning an instrument at the College participated in Afternoon Concerts, performing to a small audience of family and friends. On a larger scale, our students gained real-world experience by playing gigs at renowned venues such as Lyrics Underground for the Contemporary Bands, whilst our Jazz students performed at the Duke of George. Our String students performed on the Centre for Performing Arts stage for Strings Night, and all Junior and Senior School Ensembles had an opportunity to perform on the Centre for Performing Arts stage for their respective Ensemble Nights. The Senior School Ensemble Night was particularly special as we celebrated our wonderful Year 12 Music students and their contributions to the Music program over the years. This year in classroom Music, we ran our first Certificate II in Music course in our Years 9/10

Music elective class. This is a huge milestone for the department, as it means that students can receive a qualification in Music after two years, as well explore an alternative pathway. The success of this class and the focus on industry meant that the class was able to perform at the Lyrics Underground event in Term 2 as well as the ASC Contemporary Bands Night. As we continued to engage with partners, Kaboom Percussion presented a performance early in the year, and later Flamingo Strings performed for our Junior School students. Several students had opportunities to perform alongside industry professionals in collaboration with HotHouse Company. In Term 2 we welcomed our new Music Administrator, Mrs Leonie Hunter, and look forward to the contribution she will make to the Music Department and our community. Congratulations to all staff and students for a fabulous year, and we look forward to more music making next year! Mrs Mona Mettam Director of Music

JUNIOR SCHOOL

“ CREATIVITY IS INTELLIGENCE HAVING FUN.” - Albert Einstein

Creativity is one of those words that tends to be thrown around and not necessarily understood, especially when it comes to Music education. In Junior School Music, we believe that for students to be creative requires a safe environment where they feel welcome to make mistakes and try new things. We believe that successful creativity relies on student agency, cooperation, collaboration, and students drawing on their cross-disciplinary skills to take big risks in their music learning. All of these are underpinned by a knowledge of the subject and element of Music on which we have been focusing. 2023 was an incredibly creative year in the Junior School Music Department. Students from all year levels engaged in a range of different activities, including movement, singing, playing classroom instruments and music making to develop their creativity and further their musical knowledge. A new theoretical musical concept is taught in a range of ways. We start with a game to grab the students’ attention, followed by a rhyme and singing in canon, culminating in an activity on the instruments. Throughout the process, students are experiencing this new knowledge in different situations, and will be able to apply that knowledge in a sound and creative way, through a form of group work. Early Childhood Centre (ECC) Music welcomed a new music teacher, Mrs Lucy Dillon, whose energy and excitement filled the Colour Room with engaging Music activities. Students in the ECC start by learning the basics of how to work together effectively. They focus on actively listening to each other, and on understanding that being part of a team is a lot more fun than ‘being an island’. Year 3 students worked in small groups using xylophones. Activities began with an entire

COLUMBA 2023

class ensemble learning the parts, and students were then encouraged to learn from each other in small groups, eventually culminating in arrangements of simple songs in Binary form. Year 4 students worked in groups more often and used technology to facilitate creativity. After studying The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns, students paired up to create some amazing pieces of music based on an animal of their choice using the program Garage Band. Year 5 students also used technology to showcase their creativity as part of our unit on Jingles and the exploration of the multi-faceted nature of music. In addition, students in Year 5 created incredible arrangements of simple songs using instruments and body percussion. Year 6 students took a simple song and experimented with changing the key and structure, improvising, adding and deleting sections, and making variations in sound, showcasing a deep understanding of their learning. Performances such as the Junior School Ensemble Night, Twilight Carols, Early Childhood Centre End of Year Nativity, Recitals, Afternoon Tea Concerts, Junior School Choral Festival, Junior School Choir Kickstart, Strings Night and Thrive in 5 provided opportunities for individuals and ensembles to showcase their instrumental skills. Little Saints Choir, under the direction of Mrs Lucy Dillon, enjoyed singing at the ECC Reflections and the Nativity. Overall, 2023 was an exciting, creative year, and we thank you for your continued support of Music. Ms Amelia Verlato and Mrs Lucy Dillon Junior School Music Teachers

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF SPORT, HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE DYNAMIC REALM OF SPORT, HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION (SHPE), 2023 HAS UNFURLED AS A TAPESTRY OF GROWTH AND EXHILARATING PROGRESS. We have surged forward with an array of innovative programs that have redefined our journey. The aquatic arena witnessed an explosive start to the year with the Interhouse Swimming Carnival at HBF stadium. Here we were not just spectators to breathtaking, record-breaking performances, but also immersed ourselves in the intense House spirit and unwavering determination displayed by our students. Their resilience knew no bounds, as they not only swam competitively but also showcased water confidence and camaraderie, radiating the values of our College. Venturing into the broader arena, many of our students competed fiercely in the A division of the Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA (ACC) interschool competition, successfully retaining our coveted A division spot. This remarkable achievement stands as testament to the passion and commitment of students and staff alike. Our Interhouse Cross Country Carnival was nothing short of spectacular. The sheer enthusiasm and relentless efforts of our students

103 COLUMBA 2023

resulted in numerous personal bests and recordbreaking participation numbers. The spirit of our students shone brightly during the ACC Interschool Cross Country event, where we witnessed exceptional individual performances and commendable collective efforts, including our strongest results in the College’s history! The grand finale to our interhouse carnival series was the Athletics Carnival, held on the College Oval. This year’s program emphasised inclusivity, allowing all students to participate in the new House games and engage in jumps and throws without formal sign ups. The day resonated with students of all skill levels, showcasing their exceptional sportsmanship and zeal. The overall House trophy was won by Cowan, and the ‘Spirit of the House’ Cup awarded to O’Connor, while the other Houses impressed with their remarkable spirit, determination and teamwork. Many students took their talents to the ACC Interschool C Division Carnival. Our Community Sport program continues to flourish, with the ASC Basketball Club experiencing exponential growth during the Winter 2023 season. A whopping 36 teams battled it out, with many making it to the finals, and the number of student coaches witnessed a significant upswing. These young coaches have not only pushed themselves out of their comfort zones but also honed their leadership skills and deepened their understanding of the game.

One of our standout success stories in 2023 is the introduction of our Football (Soccer) Club. After successful trials in local competitions, we are thrilled to have over 100 students participating in the summer outdoor competition, thanks to our partnership with the J&J Academy. This collaboration has created opportunities for students, including cocurricular training sessions and Futsal Carnivals. The expert coaching for the Girls’ and Boys’ ACC Football Teams saw them win the ACC sub association competitions and progress to the School Sport WA (SSWA) finals. J&J Football has seamlessly blended fun and skill development, instilling confidence and competence in our students. Collaborations with community partners have taken centre stage in 2023, strengthening participation levels across various sports. Our partnerships with J&J Football, Southern Cross Cricket and Reds Volleyball in particular have left an indelible mark on the year’s success. SSWA and ACC have consistently provided a wide array of sporting opportunities, fostering the growth and excellence of our students in various sports. The Year 11/12 teams were crowned Champion Southern Associated Schools (SAS) School for 2023, excelling in sports such as Touch, Badminton, Basketball, Netball, Volleyball, Frisbee and Football. All our Football, Netball and Basketball teams went on

to the SSWA knockout stages The relentless spirit and sportsmanship displayed by our students have made us immensely proud, both on and off the field. While we take pride in our sporting achievements, we are equally committed to promoting the importance of physical activity for overall wellbeing. Our diverse program reflects the talents and interests of our students, reminding them of the need to stay active and healthy. We continue to listen to the community and have introduced many new opportunities, such as strength and conditioning gym sessions and a casual net games club, to name a couple. We look forward to a promising 2024, where exciting projects are set to take flight, aligning with our vision of empowering students to realise their potential and create a positive impact on the world. Our heartfelt thanks go to the incredible community of students, parents, Old Saints and staff who continuously support our program. A special thanks goes to our dedicated members of the SHPE department who work tirelessly contributing to the thriving success of our programs.

FROM THE SPORTS CAPTAIN WHILST IT IS DIFFICULT TO WRITE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE YEAR, WE WOULD LIKE TO RECALL SOME OF THE AMAZING EVENTS. We commenced the year with the Interhouse Swimming Carnival, with everyone cheering, supporting their House, and showing some friendly banter. Congratulations to Durack House, it was a sight to see Mr Hill and the Year 12s in the pool. Term 2 began with the Interhouse Cross Country Carnival. Despite the change of course everyone still loved the day and put in some incredible efforts. Congratulations to O’Connor. Term 2 also saw the beginning of the Staff vs Students championship with a volleyball game and sausage sizzle. The game was incredible and showed some very impressive skills from students and staff, with the students winning in the end. The sausage sizzle was a success with all money raised donated to Rebound WA. Term 3 started off with the start of the Futsal World Cup, in honour of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The skills shown from all teams were spectacular. The grand final was thrilling with the game ending in a one-all draw, leading to Kazakhstan winning the World Cup on penalties. Term 3 also saw another Staff vs Students battle with a fierce basketball game. The game was electrifying and had everyone cheering. The staff came away with the win after some very impressive shooting. The Interhouse Athletics Carnival was incredible and will be remembered fondly. With the introduction of team games, everyone seemed to have a blast, especially on the inflatable obstacle course. The day was magnificent and all our students showed House spirit. Congratulations to O’Connor for winning the first ever House Spirit award, and to Cowan for winning the Athletics Trophy. A massive thank you to the College community and the Sport, Health and Physical Education staff. Best of luck to the 2024 Sports Captain, Tunmise Aniyi. Liam Miller Year 12

FROM THE JUNIOR SCHOOL SPORTS CAPTAINS Q: H OW IS A BASEBALL TEAM SIMILAR TO PANCAKES? A: BECAUSE THEY BOTH NEED A GOOD BATTER!

This year has been busy, and I think we all agree that it flew by super fast. We are very proud of the All Saints’ College Junior School, and we would like to thank all the teachers who give opportunities to us. We particularly thank Mr Christie, Mr Saunders and Mrs Blaxell for their incredible work in making the Junior School a great learning environment. And, of course, we thank our sporting superhero, Mr Howson. “Nobody should expect more of you than you expect of yourself.” – Carmelo Anthony We have been so privileged to have hosted a range of sporting events including athletics, swimming and cross country. The Interhouse Cross Country Carnival event was a total success. We congratulate Forrest on winning and Murdoch for receiving the Spirit Trophy! Although Forrest won the most House points, we were all winners for trying our best and committing to our Houses. “You can’t win unless you learn how to lose.” – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar We are both so grateful to have been the Sport Captains for 2023. We have learnt so much, and we will miss seeing everyone. Remember to always try your best in anything you do, and to make sure to encourage everyone around you. “It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.” – Michael Jordan Alexander Lavender and Charmaine Vogler Year 6

LEARNING FROM THE HEAD OF OUTDOOR LEARNING THE BICYCLE EFFECT When you learn how to ride a bicycle, often you start with trainer wheels and, with help from your loved ones, you are gently pushed along the path. As you grow and your confidence increases, the trainer wheels are lifted, you have a few wobbles, and then you’re off! 2023 has felt a little like this after the long disruptions of the pandemic. Across all facets of the Outdoor Learning Program (OLP), the return to somewhat normal operations has felt like a lifting of the trainer wheels. Our partners, campsite managers and allied services have all found it challenging to be fully ready for the reset. Fortunately for OLP, we have a team that is dedicated and aligned with our strategic intentions to provide opportunities of self-development outdoors. We welcomed Ms Simone Bykerk to the OLP department, who brings a wealth of experience and has supported

119 COLUMBA 2023

ASC programs for many years in a casual capacity. Also, whilst Mrs Katrina Goods is on maternity leave, we have been fortunate to have Mrs Chantelle Tranter lead the continuity of Bush School and our Junior Programs. Remember that feeling when you were able to zoom along on your bike with the wind blowing in your hair? Our Year 6 students experienced this joyous feeling standing at the top of Point Possession in Albany this year, enjoying the natural wonders of the Great Southern. Camp Quaranup is a unique experience enjoyed by students and staff, especially when it’s windy! The contrast with the Year 8 Wadjemup (Rottnest Island) experience was captured when students at the Albany windfarm, led by Worley engineers, were able to go inside a wind turbine and observe a whole windfarm, compared to the single turbine at Rottnest. The Wadjemup experience provided

the provocation necessary to commence a rich inquiry journey. Year 7 Team Building program was able to return to Manjedal Activity Centre in Karrakup and, whilst we were able to deliver a successful program, the metaphoric tyres were a little flat, as some of the activities offered pre pandemic were not available in 2023. The tranquility of cruising through the bush on a bicycle is to be revered, not feared. Rock N Roll mountain bike coaches led our Year 8 students through Lane Poole Reserve surrounding our base at Nanga Bush Camp in Dwellingup. A new feature, the suspension bridge over the Murray River at Dwaarlindjirraap (formerly Baden Powell Waterspout), provided a new experience that left our Mountain Bike riders and bushwalkers amazed at this engineering masterpiece in natural beauty. When you outgrow your first bike and transition to your next, your wobbliness may return for a short time. This is also true for our Year 8 program, a fundamental element of which is creating connection with pastoral leaders, as well as establishing new connections and letting go of the smaller version of yourself – like your old bike. Camping experiences in the reserve allow students to garner necessary skills required for their future journey to Kalbarri in Year 9. In its fifth year of operation, this experience on ancient country, coupled with our slow pedagogy practice, provides the perfect opportunity to strengthen social bonds. Students visit natural and human-made wonders in the Kalbarri National Park, but most report sitting in the Murchison River gorge, skipping stones, swimming and chatting as program highlights.

Junior School programs offer many learning opportunities and visit various venues. Year 3 students stayed overnight at Point Walter Recreation Camp and had many opportunities to explore the sandbar and the surrounding natural and cultural features of Dyoondalup (Point Walter). The slower-paced program was heightened by the excitement of the flying fox and kite flying, true handlebar streamers scenarios. Year 4 students ventured onto Yuat country and stayed at Gabbadah (Guilderton – Moore River). Rich learning experiences led by our ASC staff allow our students to have a unique time away from home. Wadandi country (Margaret River) is where our Year 5 students experience the natural beauty of the region. Exploration of Yallingup, Ngilgi Caves, the old Wharncliffe Mill site and Wooditjup National Park all extend our students’ experiences and appreciation for our natural and cultural heritage. When you finally get a bike that you love, you can choose to ride anywhere, and this choice is the catalyst for the unique Year 10 OLP. This program offers many options for our students, wandering through the deep southwest. From white water kayaking on the Collie River, abseiling off Bluff Knoll, sea kayaking around Cape Naturaliste and mountain bike touring in the Blackwood region to hiking in Denmark and Margaret River, all create the finale of the 10-year OLP journey.

YEAR 2 OLP In Term 3, the Year 2s enjoyed having two days at Gabbiljee for their Outdoor Learning Program. They had a fantastic time and continued to talk about it for the remainder of the year, making connections with their learning in the classroom and recounting the wonderful experiences they had. With Mrs Tranter we went to the creek and used the nets to catch some animals. We found some tadpoles, spiders, and fish. Some of us even accidentally went for a dip! In the afternoon we had a campfire, we were each given a stick and marshmallow to roast. It was delicious!

Mrs Goods took us on a nature walk to the bridge. We had to try to make a boat and it had to travel under the bridge and through all the plants. It was hard, but it worked out well! With Ms Makinson we painted strings to represent the different colour flowers of Djilba. The next a special stick and we wrapped the dry string around it. We can use the sticks to help us tell stories, it was a lot of fun! This was such a rich learning experience and something they will recall with fond memories for a long time. Mrs Shona Browne, Miss Winnie Howe and Year 2 Students

YEAR 3 OLP Our Year 3 students, filled with boundless enthusiasm, embarked on their inaugural overnight Outdoor Learning camp at the scenic Point Walter in November. Throughout our two-day program, the students immersed themselves in a variety of activities. They assumed the roles of scientific explorers in nature, ventured on environmental bush walks along the Dyoondulup trail, identified Indigenous landmarks in the area, and showcased their creativity by crafting sand sculptures along the sand bar.

As night fell, we were thoroughly entertained by our guest Noongar singers, Gina and Guy, before settling into our dormitory bunk beds. Before bidding farewell to Point Walter on Friday, we indulged in the joy of constructing kites, exhilarating rides down the flying fox, and delighted in the serene symphonies of nature among the trees. The experience was nothing short of amazing for all involved! Mrs Alison McInnis and Mrs Edel Hailes Year 3 Teachers

121 COLUMBA 2023

YEAR 4 OLP In late October, the Year 4 students set off to Moore River (Guilderton) in Jued Noongar Country, where we stayed for two nights. This once of a lifetime opportunity allowed us to partake in fun activities like fishing, sand sculptures, rock formations, rubbish recycling, treasure hunting and kite flying. Over two nights and three days, the camping experience allowed us to connect with peers and the native wildlife. A major highlight of our OLP was kite flying. It was a big step up from last year when we were in Year 3, as we had good weather conditions that made our kites fly really high. Another highlight was fishing as it allowed us to learn new crucial skills such as how to cast a fishing rod and the importance of patience. Practicing our capabilities was important all throughout camp. Perseverance, organisation and creativity were some of the key capabilities developed through our fun activities. Staying in tents showed us the importance of staying

organised, treasure hunting allowed us to persevere and never give up, and sand sculpting allowed us to be creative as we crafted our own sand sculptures. We also worked on our ability to collaborate with other people and learnt how to navigate with a compass in the wild. We had fabulous food like pizza, ice cream, sandwiches, popcorn and a spectacular BBQ. There were many happy people and lots of memories were made. The bus ride home with our friends was a nice experience, and this was an OLP we will never forget. A big thank you to the OLP staff and all our teachers for this excellent experience. We are very much looking forward to our OLP next year. Charlie Wong, Elsa Zhao, Jasper Zhu and Jeremy Zhu Year 4

YEAR 5 OLP Year 5 OLP was an exhilarating and thrilling adventure that took us out of our comfort zone. We travelled by bus to Margaret River to learn more about our peers and also the natural world around us. The food we ate at camp was absolutely delicious. We had mouth-watering muffins, luscious fruit and delectable wraps. The people at camp who made the food definitely contributed to making everyone’s experience enjoyable. We all really enjoyed the apple pie. When we were split into six groups, we experienced entertaining activities such as mountain biking, a bush walk and exploration of the Ngilgi cave. When we were mountain biking, we rode through an invigorating course featuring bumps, twists, turns and the amazing environment surrounding us. During the bush walk, we were allowed to fully enjoy and experience being out in the wild with the many different types of trees, birds and plants. Two groups a day took a trip to Yallingup. The cave exploration was one of the activities we did. It included lots of crystals and even a slide, which some of the teachers went down. At Yallingup, we also did a beach clean-up and went looking for different species of coral and sea plants. Back at camp, we made art paintings out of natural materials like leaves and sticks. We used a paint roller and mixed different colours of

123 COLUMBA 2023

paint to create masterpieces of natural paintings. At one activity, we had a guide from an animal organisation who helped us create animal traps. She taught us all about the ways they used to record information from animals they caught in the wild. She also gave us traps and a mixture of ingredients as bait. It was really exciting and enjoyable to do. Activities were an entertaining way to spend the day. They went past so fast, we didn’t even know the day was over. At breakfast, our Sport teacher Mr Howson made an “illegal” gesture that sparked a dispute that lasted all throughout the camp. He poured milk before adding the cereal! Our sleeping arrangement consisted of dorms and tents. Each person got to go in each of them at least once. The tents were totally amazing. We could sleep among nature in a comfortable sleeping bag along with our friends. On one evening, there was a brush-tail possum that crept around the dorms and the roof above. It was a spectacular sight to behold. Most of Year 5 hadn’t seen a possum in their entire lives. Our trip to Margaret River was an amazing memory that we will never forget. Nicholas Khoo, Noah Sun, Chloe WongChung-Lung and Angela Wu Year 5

YEAR 6 OLP Year 6 OLP was a blast With memories that will forever last, The ride was very long But we all stayed strong. What we packed wasn’t light At least we had a good night, Albany was a great place to stay But it was hard to be away. Archery was hard but wild With lots of laughter and many smiles, We were presented with our Year 6 special shirt And we were careful not to damage it with dirt. The ANZAC centre was so cool We kind of forgot we were with our school, Drawing was calming and nice But the kangaroos were not very kind. In Term 2, the Year 6 cohort embarked on a trip to Camp Quaranup. By the time we got there, it was around the afternoon, and we were all pumped for the week. What we didn’t expect was to get our brand new Year 6 special shirt. We were in love with the design, and it felt nice to know that we were the Year 6 leaders of 2023. This amazing event will stick with us until the end of our schooling journey, and it

was a great way to start our final OLP of Junior School. Everyone was so excited and we immediately went to our dorms to unpack. On the second day, we were early to rise and started off our day with toast or cereal. During the OLP, the three classes rotated between activities each day including Archery, visiting the ANZAC Centre, fishing, geocaching, art, and more. Archery was extremely fun. We got to have small competitions with our chosen team. It was challenging at first, but with a little practise, we discovered a few tricks and tips. The ANZAC Centre was a great place to learn, and remember and acknowledge the people who fought in the war. Geocaching was a new experience that was challenging. We got there in the end, and we developed a new object finding skill on the way. The other activities were just as fun, giving us an opportunity to enhance different abilities. It was an amazing time to connect with friends, and this will be an experience we will never forget. Camille Alonso, Anna Olukolu and Grace Zhu Year 6

YEAR 7 OLP In September, a group of Year 7s boarded a bus taking them to Forest Edge. We felt excited for the journey ahead. During our time at Forest Edge we experienced a variety of activities! This included the pamper pole, abseiling, screen printing, rock climbing, low ropes obstacle course, big fox, orienteering, journaling and fishing. Some activities were all about encouraging others and facing our fears. Like the pamper pole, which was a 7.5 metre wobbly pole which we had to climb and jump off. We each stuck to our limits, facing our fears and growing at our own pace. Other activities were all about trust or accepting others’ tastes. Like the low ropes obstacle course, where we had to trust others to catch us if we fell, or screen printing, where we each got to desgin our own bag. We also received our OLP Journals for the first time and started writing in them. This was a chance

125 COLUMBA 2023

to reflect on our Year 7 OLP journey – the highs, lows and funny moments! A significant activity was the incentive course and overnight camp. The incentive course was a three hour walk to get to the overnight camp site, Lake Navarino. We had to pass a river by flying across on a flying fox. We also had to walk through the muddy cow fields and even saw some cows grazing in the fields. When we got to the campsite, we cooked our own dinner and slept in tents. After almost a week of busy activities, kitchen duties, and being away from home, we all loaded the bus ready to go back, to rest, reset and relax. We all each took away very memorable experiences from the OLP! Rishinie Vasudevan Year 7

YEAR 8 OLP Year 8 OLP at Nanga Bush Camp in Dwellingup was an amazing experience, allowing the Year 8 cohort to get to know their peers and their Heads of House while developing valuable skills such as communication, collaboration, leadership and more. It was an unforgettable experience that brought us closer to our House mates. We participated in a range of activities that challenged us physically and mentally, including mountain biking, hiking, orienteering, bush art, and rites of passage. We spent five days and four nights in the beautiful natural environment of Dwellingup. The first two nights were spent in dorms, which gave us a chance to bond with our House mates through quiz nights and having meals together. I don’t think the bats enjoyed living with us. The activities were challenging but also a lot of fun. These included mountain biking, orienteering, quizzes and hiking. Some groups began with the hike, which was a remarkable experience for everyone to appreciate the outdoors and learn about the native plants and the history of the area. We learnt more about the origin and meaning of a few natural landmarks. We made dinner ourselves using trangias, shared stories and played games over the course of the afternoon and night. Mountain biking was breathtaking, and we loved exploring the beautiful trails. We first made sure we were aware of all the safety regulations and how to properly use the bikes. We also

participated in some fun games to develop our riding skills. Once we were confident, we went on a long ride in the bush. Orienteering was another captivating activity and an efficient way to test our navigation skills, and we enjoyed the challenge of finding our way through the bush. We began with an easier and smaller orienteering session to get the hang of things, and then began the large one which took us all around Nanga Bush Camp. Bush art was an exciting way to express our creativity, and we had to use natural materials from the materials around us. The rites of passage were a few activities to help improve our team building, and communication and to celebrate and reflect on the end of our Transition journey. We also had quite a lot of time to bond with our Houses, including House dinner, reading about stone soup, learning about other people’s passions and interests, and working together to accomplish a range of activities. It was a memorable experience that provided us with many new skills, new knowledge and new friendships that we will sustain and cherish in the future. We made new connections and had a whole lot of fun. We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated in such a memorable event and are thankful to those who helped organise and make the camp happen. Grace Shackleton and Zain Zuhair Year 8

YEAR 9 OLP This camp has to be one of the best OLP experiences at the College. I can confidently say that most of our cohort thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we all left with new friendships and a strong support network. Our year group went on two rotations, spanning July and August. We left Perth at 6.00am on the first day and arrived at Camp Kalbarri at 2.00pm. Once we got there, we split off into our groups, met our camp leaders and learnt how to set up a tent, pack a hiking bag and use a Trangia. We stayed the first night at Camp Kalbarri with the other groups. In the morning we went on a hike to Four Ways and Nature’s Window, and had our first experience of a bucket lunch. The next day was spent hiking to Z bend where we stayed two nights. We spent Day 4 abseiling 20m down a cliff as well as rock climbing. This was such a fun experience, and while

127 COLUMBA 2023

unfortunately it was raining quite heavily (it was very cold and wet), the memories were unforgettable. Day 5 was spent back at base camp with all the other groups. We took part in team building activities, unpacked our hiking bags and put away the equipment before enjoying a barbeque with all the other groups. Day 6 was spent driving back down to Perth. Overall, we all had an amazing time and made many close friendships. To any future Year 9s who may be worried or scared about camp: take every experience you get, as you will never get a chance like this again and you’ll have so much fun. Thank you to Mr Zaurs, Mr Fletcher and all the OLP staff for organising this amazing camp. Penelope Duff Year 9

YEAR 10 OLP Of all the amazing camps that we are fortunate to embark upon during our time at ASC, Year 10 OLP is a standout. Cooking under the stars, having late night tent chats, and embracing nature: this OLP concludes Year 10 on a high note. Here’s a snapshot of some of our favourite camp memories. South West Discoveries “…abseiling, snorkelling, sitting in absolute silence and darkness underground in Giant’s Cave, and falling asleep on the rocks at Elephant Rock (they were really comfy).” Sea Kayaking “…kayaking next to a family of seals and sea lions, watching them play and jump in the water. I also loved sitting on the beach under the stars with my camp group, eating cinnamon scrolls and getting to know more people.” Bluff Knoll “…once we got to the top we were surrounded by clouds, and icicles had formed on our eyelashes and eyebrows!” Great Southern “…having the creative freedom as a group to plan our day: what activities we wanted to do, what meals we wanted to have.” Genevieve Ho Year 10 (2022)

The Year 10 OLP is the final cohort-wide camp that students attend in the Outdoor Learning Program. Almost directly after exams, this camp allowed students to recharge and connect with nature. Students were given the option to choose from eight different camps, each with their own separate locations, activities, and experiences. These included: Bluff Knoll, Cape challenge, mountain biking, Blackwood canoeing, Great Southern, sea kayaking, South West discovery and white water kayaking. One of these camps was Great Southern, which tasked students with hiking along a portion of the Bibbulmun Track. On the first day of camp, we were told to pack all of our necessary belongings into hiking packs, which we would be using for the remainder of the week. We set out on a bus to what would be our first hiking destinations. We were introduced to what would be expected of us for the following days, including tent setup, cooking and cleanup. After the first day, these routines became easier and as the group became more in touch with each other. While the hiking itself was difficult, it came with phenomenal sights of the bushland and cliffside views. Every student had the opportunity to be the ‘group leader’ for the hike, which gave everyone moments to lead physically – through using maps and giving direction – and mentally, by raising team spirit when hiking became tough. As a group, we developed different strategies and ways to make the experience enjoyable for everyone, such as verbal encouragement, discussions, and systems to ensure that everyone stuck together. Overall, the camp was a highly enjoyable and memorable experience, providing opportunities to challenge ourselves and connect with others. Madison Every Year 10 (2023)

FROM THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF SENIOR SCHOOL (TEACHING AND LEARNING) IN THE DYNAMIC LANDSCAPE OF EDUCATION, SCHOOLS PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN SHAPING YOUNG MINDS AND PREPARING THEM FOR AN EVER-EVOLVING WORLD. One crucial aspect that determines a school’s effectiveness is its curriculum – the heart of the educational experience. In recent years All Saints’ College has continued to demonstrate a remarkable commitment to curriculum innovation, fostering an environment of holistic learning and producing well-rounded individuals ready to conquer the challenges of the 21st century. This commitment has resulted in a curriculum that is not only academically rigorous but also deeply engaging and relevant. A notable achievement was our continued participation in the ‘New Metrics for Success’ project in conjunction with the University of Melbourne. During 2023, all Senior School Learning areas created cross-curricular projects for Year 8 students which focused on, and assessed, specific complex competencies. By immersing students in real-world problems, this project fostered quality thinking, student agency, collaboration, active citizenship and problem-solving skills. Students do not just absorb information; they actively apply their knowledge to tangible challenges, nurturing a deeper understanding of the subjects and their practical applications. Diversity and inclusivity are hallmarks of All Saints’ curriculum achievements. Recognising that a globalised world demands cultural competence, the College has diligently incorporated diverse perspectives into its curriculum. Literature from different cultures, discussions on global issues and projects focusing on cross-cultural understanding have become integral parts of the learning journey. This not only broadens students’ horizons but also nurtures empathy and open-mindedness.

arts and community service. These activities are seamlessly integrated into the curriculum, nurturing skills like leadership, teamwork, and time management. As a result, the College produces graduates who are not only academically accomplished but also well-rounded individuals ready to contribute positively to society. Professional development for educators is another area where ASC shines. The College recognises that an innovative curriculum requires dedicated and knowledgeable teachers. Regular professional development activities and our Restless Curiosity program keep educators updated with the latest teaching methodologies, and help them tailor their approaches to meet diverse learning needs. Of particular note in 2023 was the whole staff participation in the inaugural West Coast RemaginED conference, which was a joint initiative between All Saints’ own Beyond Boundaries Institute and the Woodleigh Institute. This investment in professional growth translates into an enriched classroom experience for students. All Saints’ achievements in Teaching and Learning stand as testament to our unwavering commitment to preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world. Through the integration of a focus on capabilities development, technology, cultural diversity, cocurricular activities, and continuous educator development, the College has created a comprehensive educational experience that nurtures intellect and character. By embracing innovation and adapting to the evolving needs of education, All Saints’ exemplifies the transformative power of a progressive curriculum. Mr Jim Shackleton Acting Director of Senior School (Teaching and Learning)

All Saints’ commitment to holistic education is evident in our emphasis on cocurricular activities. While maintaining a strong academic foundation, the College encourages students to explore their passions through clubs, sports,

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF SENIOR SCHOOL (STUDENT WELLBEING) BEING NEW TO THE ROLE THIS YEAR, I REFLECT ON A YEAR FILLED WITH NEW LEARNINGS AND TRIUMPHS. As we revisit some defining moments, we are reminded that student wellbeing is at the forefront of our College mission. The Year 12 Ball was the highlight for our most senior students, a glamorous celebration of unity and friendship. It showcased the importance of taking a break from academia. It reminded us that amidst the hustle and bustle of our academic pursuits, it is equally vital to take a step back, have fun and make memories that will last a lifetime. The joy that night was testament to the bonds forged over the years. Throughout the year, the College’s emphasis on student leadership inspired a positive and inclusive environment. Student leaders worked tirelessly to create change, benefiting the College community and fostering personal growth. It is a reminder that every one of us can make a difference, no matter how big or small, in shaping the future of our College and society. This year, significant strides towards reconciliation were made through our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Activities, from Indigenous guest speakers to cultural awareness workshops, deepened our understanding of Australia’s rich Indigenous history. It is a testament to our commitment to acknowledge and learn from the past while working together for a harmonious future. The heart of our College spirit lies in our Houses, providing belonging beyond the classroom. From spirited Sports days to friendly competitions, our Houses foster camaraderie

131 COLUMBA 2023

and teamwork. House spirit reached new heights this year as we supported various causes and events. The success of our Houses is testament to the hard and tireless work of the Heads of Houses, who have been the driving force behind fostering a sense of connection and belonging within the College community. They have not only acted as leaders but also as mentors, guiding students through the ups and downs of their school journey. The Wellbeing team, including our Chaplain, College Psychologists, and Heads of Year, played an instrumental role in ensuring the holistic wellness of our student body. Their efforts extended beyond the classroom, creating initiatives and programs addressing various aspects of student wellbeing. Their presence reminds us that it is okay to seek help and that we are not alone on our journey. As we turn the page to a new year, the commitment to student wellbeing through connection and belonging remains unwavering. Together we can continue to build a College community that nurtures the mental, emotional, and social wellbeing of every student. As we commemorate the experiences and connections formed during this year, let us remember that the wellbeing of our students is not just a goal but a shared commitment that will shape the future leaders, thinkers and change-makers of our world.

FROM THE COLLEGE CAPTAINS AS WE PEN OUR THOUGHTS AT THE CLOSING OF OUR TIME HERE, WE FIND OURSELVES FILLED WITH A PROFOUND SENSE OF PRIDE, GRATITUDE AND REFLECTION We are proud of our growth, grateful for the opportunities we’ve been given, and reflective of the transformative experience of being the 2023 College Captains. The 2023 Council was the first to implement the improved structure of having both a Student and a House Council, which worked individually and also came together to form a stronger College Council. This provided the members of both councils with better opportunities to speak out and communicate their thoughts and ideas within a closer and more focused group. As a result, we were able to create a better sense of community through running Wednesdays on The Common and House events which allowed the collaboration of many council members. We were able to harness the strengths of a tightly-knit group, highlighting the importance of collaborating to achieve the best possible outcome. The College theme of this year, ‘Be More You’, strongly influenced our year as we promoted and displayed it in our lives at ASC. We used James’s crocheting to foster a sense of relatability and to encourage others to pursue their passions within our welcoming community. Another project this year was creating shirts with our College theme ‘Be More You’ written across the front. These were worn at Council events that brought alive The Common, and we felt created a fantastic atmosphere. We have realised the importance of many interpersonal skills during this year, such as

133 COLUMBA 2023

effective communication and teamwork. We have also come to understand that leadership is not what we as a pair can achieve, but instead realised that effective leadership means harnessing the strengths of our peers and councils. The biggest learning curve that we can reflect back on is slowly learning and grasping the idea that we don’t have to be perfect, and that it is okay to make mistakes along the way. Trust us: we made a few. This has allowed us to be more ourselves and embrace each opportunity with confidence as we have learnt to look at the bigger picture. This is a key lesson we want to leave the Class of 2024 with: Don’t be afraid to take chances and ‘flearn’. Leave behind the familiar and open the door to growth and discovery. This also applies to our graduating Class of 2023 as we prepare to step into the future. You won’t regret taking a chance to try something new, but you might regret missing out on new opportunities. We are so happy to have shared this year with you all and can’t wait to hear about everything you get up to after graduation. Thank you to all the Leadership Team members and other staff who have been so trusting of us as College Captains and supported us throughout the year. We would also like to recognise our Student Council along with our cohort for their enthusiasm and patience throughout the year. We have been privileged to be part of the ASC community and look forward to staying in touch. James Kemble and Divya Josey Year 12

FROM THE ACADEMIC CAPTAIN

FROM THE ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN

IN 2023, THE ACADEMIC LEGACY AT ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE HAS CONTINUED TO SHINE BRIGHTLY, AND I AM HONOURED TO SHARE SOME EXCITING HIGHLIGHTS AS THIS YEAR’S ACADEMIC CAPTAIN.

DURING MY TIME AS ENTERPRISE CAPTAIN, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO SEE SO MANY OF THE INNOVATIVE STUDENTS AT ALL SAINTS’ FIND SUCCESS IN THEIR ENDEAVOURS.

At the core of my role was the Peer Tutoring program, a testament to our enduring commitment to collaborative learning. This initiative embodies students supporting their peers, and I have greatly enjoyed coordinating it. Students from various year levels have come together to boost their academic skills, share knowledge and build new friendships. To recognise our dedicated peer tutors, we have introduced a special note in their school reports acknowledging their valuable service. This celebrates their commitment and underscores their vital role in our academic community. In Term 3, we also organised a ‘thank you’ lunch to express our gratitude to these tutors. It served as a tangible token of appreciation for their selfless commitment to our College. Beyond academics, being part of the Student Council has brought many moments of joy, including the collaborative choreography and performance of the annual Year 12 flash mob dance during Week 1. It was a fantastic way to kick off the year and foster a sense of unity within the College. I have also been involved in running Wednesdays on The Common, which was a wonderful way to bring the entire Senior School together to relax and have fun, while fostering community spirit. Additionally, I took pride in helping organise the Year 11 and 12 assemblies. These events brought our Senior students together to celebrate their achievements, share insights and further strengthen our academic community bonds. As I reflect on my time as the 2023 Academic Captain, I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity and the support that I have received. To the next Academic Captain, Thomas Haynes, the incoming Student Council and the Class of 2024, I extend my warmest wishes for a rewarding journey ahead.

Leading the Enterprise and Innovation Team has been an incredible experience of learning and growth. With much work from our talented students, ASC’s pop-up shop, Runway, made its way to Pasar Malam, external markets and the annual Year 7 and 8 Christmas Markets. Runway has been extremely successful, raising money for its sellers and for charity. I have high hopes that success will continue to grow, as our team has been working hard year-round on a remodel of the Runway store in Wanju Café. This year was full of firsts for Enterprise and Innovation. I worked with the brand new team to map out a direction for Runway. For the first time we experimented with how it fits into the digital age. We worked to create online spaces for Innovation and Enterprise at the College that would further showcase the work of our incredible students. Additionally, the College was lucky enough to have an Entrepreneur in Residence program commence this year, which opened up many opportunities for students to learn from industry professionals. I think the most important aspect that captaincy has taught me is the value of being part of a team in which everyone shows up for one another. With Mr Scotti, the Student Council and the Innovation and Enterprise Team by my side, there has been no shortage of support. So much has been achieved thanks to this, and I am confident the field of Enterprise will achieve even more in future years. Mia Lowe Year 12

FROM THE ENVIRONMENT CAPTAIN

FROM THE FUNCTIONS CAPTAIN

REFLECTING ON MY TIME AS THE 2023 ENVIRONMENT CAPTAIN, I AM FILLED WITH PRIDE AND GRATITUDE.

BEING THE 2023 FUNCTIONS CAPTAIN HAS BEEN AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND HAS DEFINITELY MADE MY FINAL YEAR OF SCHOOL EVEN MORE MEMORABLE.

It has been a year of collaboration and of meaningful contributions to our College’s sustainability efforts. One of the highlights of my term was the enthusiastic participation of so many members of the College community, from those in the Sustainability Club to staff members and the general community. It was truly a pleasure to work with so many knowledgeable and passionate people. One significant event that stands out is the waste audit, held for the first time in three years. To see people getting involved and being genuinely interested in improving waste management in the College was amazing. It was also great to have the Year 8 classes come down for an interactive and fun session run by Write Solutions to get a better idea of how to dispose of waste properly. Aside from educating the community, the event also helped us gain a lot of information into how much waste management has improved since the introduction of the three-bin system. And it was an overwhelmingly positive result. It has also been a great first step in finding initiatives that I and future Environment Captains can work on to even better serve the environment. I extend my gratitude to all those who supported me in turning my ideas into reality, especially this year’s Student Council. I am delighted to pass the baton to next year’s Captain, Jessica Lim, a passionate individual who I know will do many great things. My time as Environment Captain has taught me the importance of leadership, teamwork and perseverance in driving environmental change. I leave with good wishes for Jessica in continuing to lead our College towards a greener, more sustainable future. Thank you to everyone who made this year an unforgettable one for our College’s environmental efforts.

My first job in this role was to organise the Class of 2023 Leavers’ Jackets, which I did by surveying the cohort to determine what designs and colours were preferred. This year we did something different and incorporated Indigenous artwork on the outside of the jackets, which was very exciting. The artwork was designed by Year 12 students Cooper Hawley, Zipporah Fish, Hayden Watkinson and Tiahna Websdale, and was placed inside the numbers on the backs of the jackets. I started planning for the Year 12 Ball early in the year and it was definitely the most fun but also the most intimidating aspect of the role. This year’s theme was ‘Secret Garden’, and I worked alongside the Ball Committee in choosing decorations such as the centrepieces and the flower wall, as well as organising the seating chart and invites. The night itself was very rewarding. It was amazing to see months of planning finally come to fruition, and to see the whole cohort come together for an enjoyable evening. I hope that the memories made at the Ball will be something the Class of 2023 remember fondly when they look back at their final year. Finally, I organised the Year 11 Dinner Dance, which I enjoyed as it was great to plan an event for a different cohort and see them enjoy the night, just as I did when I was in Year 11. I would like to thank Mrs Bassett for always supporting me, not only within this role but also as a student at the College – I couldn’t have done it without you. Being Functions Captain has been an incredible opportunity, and I have learnt so much from this experience and made so many unforgettable memories. I wish the 2024 Functions Captain, Abbey Parker, the best of luck, and I’m excited to see where she takes this role.

FROM THE SERVICE CAPTAIN IF I COULD TELL YOUNG ASHLEIGH, WHOSE FIRST SERVICE ACTIVITY WAS SELLING JAM, THAT ONE DAY SHE WOULD BE SERVICE CAPTAIN, I DON’T KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED ME. It’s been amazing to be leading Service at ASC this year – there was a lot of activity! In Catalyst, we have three main portfolios: Disability Services, Homelessness and Aged Care. What has been going on this year, I hear you ask? 2023 saw the return of our much-loved Quiz Night, supporting Nulsen Disability Services. The night was bright and colourful, and raised over $5,000! This money went towards arts classes for Nulsen residents, soft furnishings for homes, and some group barbeques. We also had the eighth iteration of the Connected Art Exhibition, which showcases paintings by Nulsen residents and College Community members. In the homelessness area, All Saints’ once again participated in the Anglicare WA School Sleep Out, an event where students abandoned their cosy beds for a night and slept out at Optus

Stadium to raise money and awareness for youth homelessness. The whole event raised over $180,000, with All Saints’ raising $15,000 of that total. In the aged care sector, we hosted our inaugural Bingo Morning in collaboration with Amana and RAAFA Homes. In terms of personal projects for this year, I created a video for the Anglican Schools Australia conference, which was held in Canberra this year, showcasing All Saints’ College’s work in the wider community. I believe Catalyst is unique, and I have full faith in the 2024 team. I send my best wishes to next year’s Service Captain, Ruthie Ong, Mrs Watt and the entire Catalyst Leadership Group. To anyone wanting to be involved in Service in the future, I will give you some advice – never forget who you are doing it for. You are helping people who are less fortunate. Let that drive you. Let that motivate you to try your best. All Saints’, it was an honour to be your Service Captain for 2023. Ashleigh Gurr Year 12

FROM THE TECHNOLOGY CAPTAIN AS WE REFLECT ON THIS GROUNDBREAKING YEAR, I AM THRILLED TO HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE FIRST EVER TECHNOLOGY CAPTAIN AT ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE. This year has been marked by innovation, collaboration and a shared commitment to harnessing the power of technology. In our inaugural year, my Tech Team and I embarked on a mission to drive change and realise the immensity of technology to transform our College. From the very beginning of the year, our team was brimming with fresh ideas and creative energy. Together we conceptualised and executed projects to help integrate new ideas around AI, robotics and our driving passion towards technology. What made this year even more remarkable was our collaboration with the Student Council. Joining forces with fellow student leaders, we united our passion for technology with their enthusiasm for community engagement.

137 COLUMBA 2023

Together we organised events that not only brought our student body closer, but also showcased the profound impact technology can have on creating positive change. Being a part of the Student Council and leading the Tech Team has been a unique and transformative experience. It has taught me the arts of juggling responsibilities, effective delegation and adapting to dynamic challenges. As a student leader, I’ve come to understand that empowering others and leading with empathy yields the most meaningful outcomes. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey. The teachers who supported our endeavours, the fellow student leaders who collaborated wholeheartedly, and all the students who embraced our initiatives – you have all been essential in making this year a resounding success. Holly Cammarano Year 12

FROM THE WELLBEING CAPTAIN SERVING AS YEAR 12 WELLBEING CAPTAIN HAS PROFOUNDLY TRANSFORMED MY UNDERSTANDING OF LEADERSHIP. It has been an invaluable lesson in the power of collaboration and empathy, teaching me that effective leadership means listening to and valuing diverse perspectives. Mentoring younger students was a highlight, revealing the profound impact of mentorship. I saw firsthand how guidance and support can shape someone’s journey, and it deepened my commitment to being a positive role model. One of the most significant lessons I’ve learned during my time as a Year 12 Captain is that you can’t walk into a new situation expecting the skills for it to just flow into you. It’s about listening, understanding and valuing diverse perspectives to grow yourself and help other people around you. Giving time and dedication to creating an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and respected, or polishing up speaking skills do not always come naturally: they need repeated practice. This realisation has not only made me a better leader but also a more diligent individual.

In addition to the importance of empathy and collaboration, this role has taught me valuable skills in time management and delegation. Balancing academic responsibilities, extracurricular activities and captaincy duties was no small feat. However, it forced me to develop efficient time-management strategies and the ability to delegate tasks effectively – skills that will undoubtedly serve me well in the future. As I step away from this role, I am proud of the positive changes achieved and the connections forged. Being a Year 12 Captain is more than a title; it is a mindset and skill set that I will carry forward. It has shaped me into a more responsible, empathetic, and effective leader. In conclusion, my tenure as Year 12 Captain was an honour and a growth-inducing experience. I encourage others to seize similar opportunities for personal development and positive impact. The lessons learned and values gained during this journey will continue to guide me in my pursuit of excellence and my dedication to making a difference. Adeolu Adeoye Year 12

THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT It has been a very busy year in the English Department, but also a very rewarding one. There were numerous events and activities that shone a spotlight on the wonderful world of English and the ways in which student experiences have been enriched. A snapshot of some of this year’s activities is set out below.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE We were very fortunate to have the celebrated WA author A.J. Betts as our Writer in Residence in Term 2. Her residency, which was a partnership between the English Department and HotHouse Company, involved creative writing workshops, seminars and even some class activities with our more senior students. Her books, some of which we use as resources in the classroom, are very popular with our younger readers, so her insights into the writing process were invaluable. We were also fortunate that she agreed to adjudicate our creative writing competition, held over the course of Terms 2 and 3, culminating with prizes for our top students.

BOOK WEEK Book Week was celebrated this year in style, with students and staff dressing up for the occasion as their favourite character from a book. It included events such as ‘Write a Book in a Day’, as well as other competitions celebrating books and reading in a week-long celebration.

EPILOGUE LAUNCH This year we had a formal launch of our inhouse creative writing magazine Epilogue in Nexus-S. Our 2023 Artist in Residence, A.J. Betts, officially launched the book at a ceremony where those students whose contributions were included in the magazine were presented with their personal copy. It was also wonderful to have Lara Levichkina, one of our Year 12 students from the Class of 2022, attend as her artwork was selected for the front cover of the magazine.

CREATIVE WRITING COMPETITION The competition was conducted in conjunction with our Author in Residence, A.J. Betts, and was open to all students in the Senior School. The inaugural winners for the competition this year are as follows: YEARS 7–9: Runner Up: Madison Kent (Year 9) for her story, Russian Pelicans and Ukrainian Sardines

YEARS 10–12 Runner Up: Jack Goddard (Year 11) for The Devil’s Due Winner: Dominique To (Year 10) for Relentless All winners and runners up won the opportunity to attend a workshop at the College by WA author Holly Craig, courtesy of The Fellowship of Australian Writers, WA (FAWWA), and books from Fremantle Press. Their stories will be printed in the 2024 edition of Epilogue.

WRITE A BOOK IN A DAY In August, we again participated in the ‘Write a Book in a Day’ (WABIAD) competition. This was the second time we had entered this competition, so it was thrilling to see our participation grow to five teams, with student groups from Years 7 to 11. The competition is for a group of 5–10 students to write and illustrate a book in a single 12-hour period. Each team is given a range of prompts on the day that they have to incorporate into their stories, and they are required to finish their product within the timeframe. All completed books are distributed to children in hospital as part of The Kids Cancer Project. Participants raise funds from this project to support childhood cancer research. Our five groups worked tirelessly in a marathon session from 8.00am to 8.00pm, and raised over $5,000, more than double the amount we raised last year. Extracts from their efforts are showcased overleaf.

BELL SHAKESPEARE INCURSION Each year we participate in an in-school workshop run by the Bell Shakespeare Theatre Company that focuses on bringing the world of William Shakespeare alive for modern audiences. It is always an active and engaging workshop, and this year was no different, with students from Years 8 and 10 exploring the plays Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth along with a group of professional actors from the Bell Shakespeare Company. It is always a hands-on workshop, with students encouraged to be part of the performance. The fact that the workshop took place on Friday 13 October added another dimension to the experience.

The early morning hustle and bustle woke Liora as excitement filled the air. It was the final hours just before the wedding of her friend Anne Boleyn. She quickly pulled on her corset and ran up the stairs, as the questioning eyes of guards followed her. Liora knew she should be intimidated and probably would have been if not for the utter joy that was flowing through her. “Don’t you dare act like that around the Queen to be! Calm yourself Liora,” Jane Seymour, the lady in waiting, scolded Liora. Ignoring Jane’s harsh words, she burst into Anne’s chamber. “I can’t believe you are about to rule England, but it would be nice if it was for love,” Liora chimed as she helped Anne with her hair. “I know but there’s not much else I can do,” she sighed in frustration. Liora turned to look at the mirror as her pure white hair cascaded down her shoulder. The thing that had caused her the most trouble but had also led had also led her to Anne, she had always seen it as a curse until that fateful day when they met. Anne was a beautiful person inside and out even if the rest of the country hated her. They switched positions and Anne quickly did up Liora’s hair in a high bun and placed a necklace around her neck which made Liora gasp. “You can’t give me this it’s your favourite, I can’t, I won’t accept it,” Liora exclaimed shocked. Anne chuckled, “No, you’re my favourite.” Extract from The Ruby Through Time By The Duckies – Ruby Adams, Penelope Duff, Anna Gray, Amelie Hall, Stacie Purdy, Amanda Tang, Ameila Winzar (Year 9)

HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN 2023, THE HUMANITIES DEPARTMENT CONTINUED TO HELP STUDENTS BECOME MORE AWARE OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM. In a year that saw the first referendum in a generation, multiple presidential indictments, and continued global conflict, the dedicated Humanities teachers served up multiple opportunities for students to explore the historical, physical, political, religious and financial factors that drive world change. The study of Geography offered students many opportunities to make their mark. Year 12 Geography students stalked locally endangered marsupials and evaluated conservation practices on a very insightful night hike at Karakamia Wildlife Sanctuary. Geography ATAR students explored the Perth CBD and evaluated various urban planning initiatives, whilst the Year 11s sampled shoe stores and surveyed various fastfood outlets for globalisation studies. Economics students cashed in on their knowledge by competing in the ASX Schools Share Market Game, investing up to $50,000 of simulated money in two games played over a 10-week period. Year 8 students simulated the economy with the Chain Game, and Year 12 Economics students under the guidance of Mr Giles attended the Year 12 Student Economic Forum held at Curtin University to better understand the state of the economy and prepare them for their end of year Economics examination. There was no ‘Stalin’, as the study of History steamed ahead with a visit to the Holocaust Museum for Year 11 students, and Year 9 students competing in the Australian History Competition for the first time, with Ruby Adams, Michael Beahan Warman and William Russell winning High Distinctions. A number of students were also involved in commemorating historical events in the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony, and the Battle for Australia commemorations at Royal Australian Airforce Museum.

about voting and active citizenship, and the Year 9s visited the Law Courts to observe reallife legal scenarios. Outside of the classroom, the Mock Trial competition offered students an opportunity to argue legal cases in real courtrooms against other schools. On the Accounting side of the ledger, students developed their financial problem-solving skills for real life. Religion and Philosophy senior classes investigated how Star Wars, The Matrix, and relaxation techniques, amongst other topics, symbolised and enabled a great connection and deeper conversation with the divine and themselves. Meanwhile, in keeping with ASC’s theme of ‘Be More You’, Year 9 and 10 students explored identity and being in the world through the lenses of various wisdom traditions. The Humanities Department was also involved in a number of cross-curricular opportunities. Our Year 7 students and teachers were busily imagining and planning for their Project Utopia initiative, preparing their vision for the future of Fremantle. Year 8 students completed a joint project with Humanities, English and Languages to demonstrate their collaboration, communication, and learning agency skills. They also visited Perth City and explored the history, geography, and economy of their local area. Year 9 students explored food security and globalisation in a creative session with local songwriter Mathas who raps about food and works in the hospitality industry. Year 10s hosted an exhibition where they showcased their learning for the year to their loved ones. None of this would be possible without the dedicated staff of the Humanities Department: Mr Basell, Ms Bate, Mrs Cooling, Mr Giles, Mr Hosken, Ms Kirkham, Ms Mroz and Mr Pantalone. They are all committed to the learning of their students, and to the constant improvement of their teaching. Mr Ashley Hosken and Mr Ben Bassell Head of HASS and HASS Teacher

Events of 2023 were very ‘appealing’ for students of Politics and Law. The Voice Referendum made its way into many different courses, and local politicians such as Dr Jags Krishnan and Senator Fatima Payman came to visit our classrooms. The Year 8s participated in a HASS Hack Day in Term 1, where they learnt

AS WE REFLECT ON THE 2023 ACADEMIC YEAR IN THE LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE TEACHING AND LEARNING JOURNEY WE HAVE EMBARKED UPON. The year has been testament to the dedication and passion of our students and educators, as we delve into the power of the two languages taught at the College (Chinese and French) with enthusiasm, technology and cultural exploration.

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY IN CHINESE PROJECTS One of the highlights of this year has been the innovative projects undertaken in our Chinese language courses. We have witnessed a dynamic blend of language acquisition with technology, where our students have learnt the intricacies of Mandarin and harnessed the power of digital tools. From creating multimedia presentations to collaborating on interactive online platforms, our students have elevated their language learning experience. These projects have not only sharpened their language skills but have also equipped them with valuable technological competencies for the future.

LANGUAGES WEEK: A CELEBRATION OF DIVERSITY Languages Week stands as a vibrant testament to the rich diversity within our department. During this year’s celebration, students took part in a wide array of events, activities and cultural shows. It was heartwarming to witness our students, along with Ms Provis, engage in the Martial Arts demonstration.

LANGUAGE FORUM: FOSTERING TOMORROW’S GLOBAL CITIZENS We take immense pride in our commitment to nurturing the linguistic and cultural curiosity of our younger students. This year we organised a Language Forum in the Centre for Performing Arts tailored for Year 8 and 9 students. The event featured presenters from diverse backgrounds who shared their personal experiences and language learning journeys in Chinese and French. Our partnership with UWA and the Alliance Française allowed our Year 10 students to

143 COLUMBA 2023

engage with French language enthusiasts from various academic backgrounds, and participate in thought-provoking discussions and workshops. These forums have not only inspired a passion for languages but also encouraged cross-cultural communication and understanding among our future global citizens.

FRENCH TOUR 2023 After facing many travel challenges, our French tour finally took place during September and October. This was an educational journey like no other, as students found themselves fully immersed in the language and culture during their stay with a host family for two weeks in Nice. From exploring the beautiful landscapes of the South of France to wandering the streets of Paris while tasting the exquisite French cuisine, our students had the opportunity to apply their language skills in authentic contexts. This tour was a reminder that language learning extends far beyond the classroom; it is about embracing the world with open arms.

EXCURSIONS FOR CULTURAL IMMERSION Cultural immersion remains a cornerstone of our language programs, and this year was no exception. Excursions to the French Film Festival, the Maison Saint Honoré Café and a Chinese cultural lunch have allowed our students to broaden their horizons and interact with the wider community, while witnessing the vibrant and living cultures within Perth. We remain in awe of our students’ growth in language proficiency, technological skills, and cultural awareness. As we look forward to the coming year, we remain committed to fostering excellence in language education and ensuring that our students are equipped not only with linguistic skills, but also with the global perspective and cultural sensitivity needed to thrive in an interconnected world. Mrs Pamela Chu Yu Chee Head of Languages

VISION AND STRATEGIC GOALS In alignment with our vision to make a positive difference, Nexus continued its trajectory of evolution in 2023. Our strategic intentions for the year were channelled into three main pillars: • Connection: to self, each other, and the world. • Community: offering exceptional spaces and services, magnifying opportunities for everyone at ASC. • Culture: building on College values, endorsing student agency, and fostering reading and Digital Intelligence (DQ) across all College sectors.

REIMAGINING LIBRARIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE In an era where digital knowledge is just a click away, the question arises: What is the role of a traditional library? Our approach emphasises the coexistence of digital and traditional formats. By amalgamating both, we are fashioning a modern method of research and reading, catering to student needs and the intricacies of a post-truth era. With the advent of generative AI this year, Nexus staff were instrumental in assisting teachers and students to ethically and productively harness this groundbreaking technology, crafting comprehensive guides and resources.

INITIATIVES AND ACTIVITIES • The CAVE (Creative Audio-Visual Experience): This initiative flourished under Mr Drew Mayhill’s guidance in 2023 and the space birthed numerous podcasts and initiatives, welcoming all Year 7 students as part of their Connected Learning rotation to be introduced to the tools available in The CAVE.

• Events and Engagements: Nexus proudly hosted events for Science Week, Languages Week, Arts Day and more. Serving as a venue for clubs, meetings, tutorials and more, it has been a beacon for students seeking relaxation, collaboration or a space for gaming and eating.

STAFF HIGHLIGHTS Our phenomenal support staff, including Mr Ian Mackay-Scollay’s Technology Support Centre (TSC) team, ensures an optimal learning environment with an outstanding network and connectivity, and industry standard software. In Nexus-J we saw the retirement of one of our long serving members, Mrs Gail Smith, who will be tremendously missed for her kind and wise presence and leadership. We were joined by Mrs Sophie Routley and, with Ms Brette Lockyer and Mrs Sharae Luff, the team continues to support our youngest learners in their first steps in reading and digital access. Mrs Sarah Moore is also a vital part of that team, working with staff and students on digital pedagogy with iOS devices which are now ubiquitous in the Junior School. In Nexus-S, under Mr Brad Middleton’s leadership and supported by Ms Laura Wilson, our intern Miss Nikita Arun and our excellent Nexus Agency assistants, we have seen more growth in the use of our services and resources. Nexus is not just a physical space, but an embodiment of unity. The collaboration between traditional library personnel and the TSC signifies a cohesive bond, merging efforts to deliver unparalleled student services under one encompassing vision. Mr Greg Port Director of Learning Technologies

THERE IS A REASON WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN TO SHOW THE BUZZ WORD ‘STEM’ VERTICALLY. It is our belief that mathematics is the bedrock for all things STEM, providing the essential tools and logical thinking to be successful in Science, Technology and Engineering. Our latest projects, where we show the clear mathematical connections to everyday activities, have proven popular with students. Not only do they see the relevance of mathematics but, combined with the essential capabilities so needed in the workplace, they have also developed an understanding of their opportunity to make a difference in this ever-changing world. Our goal is to help students become aware of the place of STEM skills as we move through the 21st century, with some researchers predicting that most future jobs will require many of these skills. “Many of the most desirable jobs will require a healthy understanding of Math and Science.” – World Economic Forum, 2022 We are constantly endeavouring to provide students with the opportunity to display these desirable skills by incorporating projects and investigations across the curriculum. One project involved students measuring the cooling of coffee in receptacles, calculating the rate at which it occurred. Based in the realm of science, it showed how measurement can identify and influence future decisions around issues like efficiency and sustainability (think optimum hot water temperature and coffee cups). Another project looked at designing a logo for a surf park using Desmos, which proved to be popular with students, showing their creative mathematical skills. Yet another involved gathering data around the Indigenous interpretation of the seasons and how they differ from those that are widely accepted in Western societies.

ACHIEVEMENTS All Saints’ College continues to be successful in many competitions and challenges, albeit with fewer entries than in previous years, because some of our accelerated students are unable to compete within their age groups as entries are accepted by the year of schooling only. Pleasingly, we placed first and third in Years 7/8 in the Have Sum Fun (HSF) competitions held in Western Australia. We also had teams placed fourth (Years 11/12) and fifth (Years 9/10) in this same competition. Our winning Years 7/8 Team comprised Year 7 students Darsh Gundapaneni, Charlie Huang and Ethan Perera, along with Year 8 students Gianni Mirco, Ricky Qiu and Nishaan Sunner. In the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition, we achieved an impressive 11 Distinctions, placing the students in the top 15% of their year group. Adam Nelson (Year 9) received a distinction and acknowledgement as ‘Best in School’. In the Australian Mathematics Competition, we achieved outstanding results, with 121 of the 123 entrants receiving various award recognitions from Proficiency to Prize. Eight students received High Distinctions, and two received the highest award of a Prize. These students were Adam Nelson (Year 9), who also received the ‘Best in School’ award, and Leah Wu (Year 9). In the Kangourou Sans Frontières (KSF) competition for Year 7 students, we received one High Distinction (Ethan Perera) and two Distinctions (Austin Chen and Ved Patchava) out of only nine entries. Our future focus in Mathematics will be on further immersive projects across a number of disciplines with an emphasis on capabilities, whilst maintaining our reputation in prestigious mathematical competitions and challenges. Mr Phil Brockbank Head of Mathematics

2023 HAS BEEN A YEAR TO CELEBRATE, AND IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SEE OUR STUDENTS EXTEND THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS IN PROBLEM SOLVING AND CRITICAL THINKING. We thank our teachers and students of our ATAR Class of 2022 for their outstanding performances, something which meant we achieved Leading School Status in all five of our ATAR subjects. Term 1 started out with something new at the College and this year, we have established the ASC Science Club, for students in Years 5 and 6. It has proven to be a very popular activity with the students, and we thank Miss Natalie Booth for her work in launching this opportunity. The ATAR Biology class went on their annual excursion to see biology in action at the Kent Street Weir. We thank Mrs Christine Taylor for facilitating this opportunity for her students. For the first time, we had two students compete in the national ‘Brain Bee Challenge’. Congratulations to Year 10 students Dominique To (High Distinction) and Alia Salgado (Distinction). The Big Science Competition attracted a lot of interest from our student body. Congratulations to the following students for their outstanding achievements: Year 7 - Felicity Fitzgerald – Credit, Darsh Gundapaneni – Credit, Leeanne Lin – Credit Year 8 - Nicola Fallon – Distinction, Corbyn Murakami – Distinction, Ricky Qiu – Distinction, Nithin Shivakumar – Credit, Nishaan Sunner – Credit Year 9 - Saskia Catalan – Distinction, Jinning Huang – Credit, Shi Ying Liang – Credit, Anya Prithivi Raj – Credit, Rithvik Simhadri – Credit Year 10 - Madison Every – High Distinction, Jessie Lau – Credit, Dominique To – High Distinction, Ethan Young – High Distinction Based on their achievement in the Big Science Competition, selected students were given the opportunity to take part in the very prestigious Science Olympiads. Congratulations to the following students: Year 9 - Saskia Catalan – Distinction, Adam Nelson – Distinction Year 10 - Dominique To – High Distinction, Jessie Lau – Distinction. We also had some outstanding results in the ASI Olympiads. Congratulations to the following students for their outstanding achievement in Biology:

Year 11 - David Duff – High Distinction (Chemistry) Year 12 - Eleanor Hawking – Distinction (Biology), Shaurya Kaushal – Distinction (Chemistry), Oliver McNamee – Distinction (Physics), Jason Shan – High Distinction (Chemistry); Distinction (Physics), Oliver Wright – Distinction (Chemistry); High Distinction (Physics) In Term 3, the Year 7s welcomed the Water Corporation’s Water Wise incursion as part of their studies of the water cycle and human impacts on ecosystems. This was an opportunity to learn about water in Aboriginal culture and areas of water around Perth. The incursion provided students with an authentic opportunity to learn how many things are intertwined in the study of science including: sustainability, culture and future planning. Our Year 11 Psychology students visited the psychology labs at UWA, where they took part in a series of workshops including neuropsychology and social linguistics. We thank Mr James Pengelley for constructing this bespoke experience for our students, an initiative unique to Psychology at the College. Term 3 also marks National Science Week. Thank you to Mr Adam Goor for showcasing the famous ‘Bottle Rockets’ across The Common, and all the Tutor Group teachers for their enthusiasm around the quiz. Congratulations to Mr Russ Haxby and Mr John Warwick whose tutor groups took out the honours for the quiz. Well done to the students that won the Escape Room challenges. We rounded out the year with students taking part in project-based learning, which allows them to apply their knowledge in a unique context to solve a problem. The Year 8s built and raced miniature solar cars and the Year 9s were given an engineering challenge to build an earthquake proof building. Year 11 Physics students conducted an inquiry piece and it was exciting to see the projects they formulated. It has been a hugely successful year, and I thank the teaching staff for their dedication to providing students with the very best learning experiences. A special mention goes to Mrs Faye Beechen, our Laboratory Technician, who prepares countless practical activities for the benefit of our students. It is wonderful to see so many students engaging with Science and embracing the opportunities presented. Miss Stacey Fairhead Head of Science

EMPOWERING INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION: THE ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE DESIGN HUB

AT THE HEART OF ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE’S COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION LIES THE DESIGN HUB — A DYNAMIC SPACE THAT HAS BECOME A NEXUS FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND EXTERNAL EXPERTS TO COME TOGETHER AND DRIVE POSITIVE CHANGE. As we reflect on the journey and accomplishments of the Design Hub, it is evident that it has evolved into a catalyst for transformative learning experiences and real-world impact.

PROMOTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND LEARNING EXCELLENCE The Design Hub’s dedication to promoting student interests and curiosity has continued throughout the year. By investing in modern technologies, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, the Hub has transformed the way students engage with their subjects. Through hands-on learning opportunities and open workshops during breaks and after school, students are encouraged to channel their passions into personal projects, fostering a sense of ownership over their education. A standout achievement has been the development of the Year 8 Capabilities project—a cross-curricular endeavour integrating InnovatED, Mathematics and Digital Technologies. This project not only showcases learner agency and quality thinking but also underscores the Design Hub’s commitment to nurturing technical and non-technical skills.

147 COLUMBA 2023

A JOURNEY INTO ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ENTERPRISE Fostering entrepreneurship and design thinking has been a cornerstone of the Design Hub’s mission. The establishment of the Kaiga Convention Enterprise Project stands as testament to this commitment, where students transformed their digital art into sellable products, exhibiting their creations at the Kaiga Convention. Initiatives like the ‘Boss your Future’ Entrepreneurship scholarship and the development of the $20 Boss project continue to successfully merge business acumen with positive societal change.

BUILDING BRIDGES WITH THE COMMUNITY The Design Hub connects with community and industry experts, and authentic partnerships with tech entrepreneurs, faculty members from prestigious universities and inventors have provided invaluable exposure to realworld applications and diverse perspectives. These collaborations bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities that await them. All Saints’ College has unveiled an initiative – the Entrepreneur in Residence Program – as part of its commitment to empowering students in practical, real-world contexts. The program brings together accomplished entrepreneurs, innovators and social enterprise leaders to collaborate closely with students, fostering creativity, innovation and mentorship. The inaugural collaboration featured Toby Whittington, CEO of Green World Revolution, a notable social enterprise focused on employment reintegration and plastic waste reduction. Whittington’s involvement included mentoring Year 8 students in the InnovatED

Precious Plastics program, providing hands-on experience in sustainable entrepreneurship and the significance of social enterprises.

FOSTERING INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES The College also celebrates the ‘Toy for Creative Play’ initiative, where Year 11 Design students collaborated with the Early Childhood Centre. This project involved designing a toy for young learners, guided by an external mentor. The result is testament to the College’s dedication to impactful, real-world projects that enrich learning experiences at all levels. The College also proudly highlights the achievements of the Certificate II Hospitality program. Students showcase their culinary talents by preparing and serving food to delighted guests at the newly-established student-led Dove Café on campus.

This hands-on experience not only nurtures their hospitality skills but also instils a sense of pride and accomplishment as they contribute to the vibrant College community.

SHAPING THE FUTURE As we look back on the accomplishments of the Design Hub, it is clear that its impact extends far beyond the walls of a physical space. The Design Hub stands as testament to All Saints’ College’s unwavering dedication to innovation, collaboration and student empowerment. By fostering creativity, promoting interdisciplinary connections and driving real-world initiatives, the Design Hub is shaping a generation of thinkers, creators and leaders prepared to make a positive difference in the world.

AS THE SANDS OF TIME CONTINUE TO SHIFT, 2023 UNFOLDED AS A CHAPTER OF PROFOUND GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION AT ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE. In the face of change, the Transition Program stands as a living testament to the power of connection and adaptation. Transitioning into a secondary environment can be a daunting experience, but our Transition Program helps to make this experience fun and engaging. Building on this idea, 2023 has seen Year 8 students embarking on a series of interdisciplinary problem-solving challenges through the New Metrics program. This has seen teachers of Year 8 working with researchers from the University of Melbourne to develop a range of projects where students have had the opportunity to build their skills in various complex competencies, such as collaboration, community building and personal agency. Student feedback on this process has been highly positive as they have embraced the new opportunities, culminating in a public presentation and picnic in Term 4. For our Year 7 students, the year began with a resounding note of success, exemplified by the return of the Team Building Camp at Manjedal Activity Centre. As the sun dipped below the horizon, students embarked on an overnight adventure that cultivated friendships destined to stand the test of time. Nestled within the serene beauty of nature’s embrace, new bonds flourished amidst shared moments of challenge and triumph. Beyond fostering connections, the camp introduced students to the bedrock principles of success – the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Armed with these timeless tools, our young scholars commenced their

Senior School journey with a firm grasp on the foundations for a year of academic excellence, having begun to build new and supportive personal connections. Central to the Transition Program is its inherent ability to adapt and evolve. A highlight this year was the active involvement of student leaders in developing and maintaining their very own Years 7 and 8 webpage. This digital haven became a hub of information, comedy, camaraderie and support, fostering a sense of community among our transitioning students. The commitment of these student leaders to empowering their peers through this platform echoes the core values that define All Saints’ College – Empathy, Respect, Integrity and Courage (ERIC). This was enhanced by their leadership and commitment to instigate and coordinate the return of the Book Week Costume Parade for Year 7 and 8 students. With over 60 students involved in this first year of the parade, it is sure to be a highlight for years to come. There have been other important aspects of Transition life, including achievements in Music, Mathematics and Debating. We have seen a number of Transition students experience success on the national stage in a range of areas, including Sport, Mathematics and more. This is due to the incredible energy and enthusiasm of these students as they strive towards being their best selves, in keeping with the 2023 College theme ‘Be More You’ and supported by our amazing team of Transition Tutors who provide day-to-day care. They are the core of our Transition program, working to ensure that students are happy, engaged and ready for every challenge life throws at them. Mr Paul Green Head of Transition

CENTRE FOR SERVICE AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

2023 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF RICH ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS AT ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE. Within the College, students have collaborated across the Junior and Senior campuses in a variety of ways. The Year 10 Literacy Mentors have met their Year 4 buddies every week in Nexus-J to read books together; Year 8 Service Representatives and Year 6 Student Leaders worked together to promote and run the Mountain of Warmth campaign across both campuses, donating warm clothes and bedding to The Salvation Army to help people dealing with homelessness; and Year 6 students have enjoyed the Year 6 Play on The Common activities hosted by Senior School students, one of which included the Junior School Murdoch House Captains assisting the Senior School Murdoch House Council to distribute pizzas, raising funds for Rebound WA who run a range of wheelchair sports in WA. We have welcomed our local community into the College too. We are blessed to have Mrs Marie Fritz spend her Wednesday mornings with a group of dedicated knitters and crocheters to create squares for a unique and very warm blanket for the Mountain of Warmth collection. The Knitting Group also created hand-made gifts for The Salvation Army Christmas Gift Collection, managed by our Year 8 students. ASC is continuing to support local families in need with regular donations of non-perishable food and hygiene products to All Saints’ Parish. In this program, managed by the Year 8 Service Representatives, all Houses in the Senior School and the Year 6–8 cohorts take turns to contribute to the Parish Food Collection and help to pack hampers under the guidance of Mrs Rebecca Hellsten. Those hampers,

151 COLUMBA 2023

along with fresh foodstuffs, are delivered every Saturday by volunteers, which include many ASC students and families. We are so grateful to those families for their help, and thank Mr Barry Brogden who coordinates volunteers and creates the rosters for hamper deliveries. ASC students and families are also incredible supporters of the P&F Food Friendzy events, coming into our Food Technology room to make more than 500 delicious meals for The Salvation Army to support people living with homelessness. Every term around 50 people attend the morning and afternoon sessions to prepare, cook, divide up, pack away and clean up; and every term our meals are collected by Major Sharon and Major Charlie Watson of The Salvation Army Bentley Corp. This hugely successful program has been run for years by Mrs Meagan Hillier who, with the graduation of her youngest child from ASC, can finally put away her apron. The program will continue in 2024 under the management of a team of dedicated P&F members. We are so grateful for the tireless efforts, enthusiasm and support provided by Mrs Hillier. We have continued to connect with people outside the College by visiting elderly residents of RAAFA Memorial Estate and Amana Living, residents in Nulsen Disabilities supported living homes, and students in Service Groups in other schools. I would like to thank the Catalyst Leaders Team for their dedication and hard work in 2023. We very much look forward to continuing our Service Programs in 2024.

The Peer Support Program is a longstanding program within the College, one that I remember from my time in Year 8. Having learnt a lot and grown from my experience it was fantastic at the end of Year 10 to have the opportunity to put myself forward and to try to do what my mentors did for me. The Peer Support activities are all about organising a variety of fun activities for Year 8 students. Each activity is designed to engage and establish connections with the Year 8 students, whilst also holding educational value. We had a lot of fun designing games to meet this brief.

The Peer Support Program was also a fabulous learning opportunity for the Year 11 students. We learnt about how to run an activity, keep people entertained and manage a crowd. However, it also provided an opportunity to make connections with the Year 8s which will be incredibly important for both of our year groups, and especially the Year 8s as they move into the vertical Tutor Group system. The Peer Support Program is a true staple of the College and I was thrilled I had the opportunity to participate in it this year. David Duff Year 11
