FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the 76th edition of our College magazine, The Dove. It is always a pleasure for me to create this biannual publication for our community members to enjoy. Although it may not cover every program or event that has occurred in the past six months (as there are far too many to feature), it does showcase how we are living our Mission, Vision and Values, as well as achieving the five Goals outlined in our Strategic Plan (2014 – 2018). Our community’s response to ‘The Dove goes global’ initiative has been wonderful this year. Students, families, staff and Old Saints have taken our magazine to all ‘corners of the globe’ including the United States, India, France, United Kingdom, Greece, Denmark, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and across Australia. I was also fortunate to travel to Canada earlier this year and, of course, I visited the iconic Niagara Falls where I enjoyed reading The Dove, despite the cold weather! For further details about ‘The Dove goes global’ and how you can have your photo featured in our magazine, see pages 48 and 49. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this edition of The Dove. A lot of hard work goes into producing this publication and it is very much a team effort!

THE DOVE The dove is the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, a messenger of good news or peace. It forms an integral part of the All Saints’ College crest and represents our commitment to the spiritual and ethical development of our students. The magazine title also links in with the College’s other major publication, the Columba yearbook, Columba being Latin for dove.
Welcome to the Spring edition of The Dove for 2016. As always, this publication is organised according to the five goals of our current Strategic Plan (2014 – 2018). We are pleased to share with you many achievements within each of those goals.

Goal 1 is our core business – optimising the learning of our young people – and we have many activities and celebrations to share with you in this regard. This year, the College was pleased to commence our partnership with Harvard University’s Project Zero as we develop ASC’s Culture of Thinking. This cross-campus framework of creative and critical thinking helps us to equip all students with essential skills, assisting them to navigate the exciting and uncharted territory that is the future! Goal 2 of our Strategic Plan – positive student wellbeing – is inextricably linked to Goal 1, and this year we have been consolidating The Leader in Me, the wellbeing framework we introduced in 2015. In keeping with our motto, To serve with wisdom and courage, we have also been delighted to make significant progress with regard to our Service Learning program. New partnerships have been forged, and existing ones consolidated, and we are appreciative of the positive and enthusiastic way in which students, staff and parents have responded to the various opportunities on offer.
many staff continuing their formal studies, with others taking the opportunity to study abroad. In this edition, we hear about the two staff who were our inaugural participants in our team-teaching program at our new partner school in India. A connected community, Goal 4, reports on the P&F’s Retro Bingo Night – an evening enjoyed by all who attended – as well as the consolidation of existing partnerships and the creation of new connections, for the benefit of our students and community. And under Goal 5, amongst other items, we celebrate the opening of our newest facility – our three-storey suite of classrooms (as featured on the cover of this publication) – and say a heartfelt thank you to all those community members who were able to support this year’s Voluntary Building Fund. Your support enabled us to enclose, carpet and heat the College Canteen, thus providing a welcoming retreat from the elements for our young people, and an additional space for functions for our community. With best wishes and with thanks for your ongoing support of All Saints’ College. Ms Belinda Provis Principal

OPTIMISED STUDENT LEARNING
CONFIDENT AND ENGAGED LEARNERS CHARACTERISED BY A GROWTH MINDSET
All Saints’ College students have consistently excelled in the Mathematical Association of Western Australia’s (MAWA) annual Have Sum Fun competition, and the results were again impressive in 2016.
Well done to all students who competed in the 2016 Have Sum Fun competition – in particular Jacob Smith and Aron Thian (Year 10) who stepped up into the Year 11/12 team to fill empty slots.
The College participates in both the South of the River and Metro competitions against top Mathematics public and independent schools. In teams of six, students compete in four rounds of Mathematics problem-solving questions in a quiz-style format.

This year, 22 students represented ASC across four age-group competitions and all teams achieved exceptional results. Congratulations to our Year 9/10 students who defeated 36 other teams to place first in their South of the River division. Our Year 11/12 group achieved a notable second place, and our Year 7/8 team came third overall. Our Junior School Year 5 and 6 students competed in the Metro division against 26 other teams and came in third place – an impressive achievement. Have Sum Fun was launched by MAWA in 1990 and All Saints’ has participated in the competition for many years. “Over the past decade the number of students who have represented All Saints’ and achieved Medals, Prizes and High Distinctions in various Mathematics competitions is easily into the hundreds. The students take pride in being able to represent All Saints’ and are always trying their best to succeed against fierce competition,” said Mrs Monique Ellement (Mathematics Extension teacher).

CREATING A CULTURE OF THINKING At the beginning of 2016, All Saints’ College introduced a critical and creative thinking framework to support our teaching and learning from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. Now, towards the end of the year, we are pleased to have made strides with the implementation of the Cultures of Thinking (CoT) model, developed by Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero, into our classrooms. In a CoT learning environment, students are empowered to not only learn the ‘correct answers’, but to understand and question what is being presented. By using this framework, students delve more deeply into their learning, and make their thinking valued and visible.
“This professional learning impacts all students and teachers at the College, as it will further develop our pedagogical practices and the culture of the learning environment,” Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, said. As this is a key step in Goal 1: Optimised Student Learning of our Strategic Plan (2014 – 2018), we were also pleased to have Mark share his knowledge and provide an insight into this way of thinking with our College parents.
IMPLEMENTING CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING IN YEAR 3 All Saints’ College has made a commitment to prioritising critical and creative thinking, and I have been focusing on this with my students in Year 3C throughout 2016.
This has included allocating time for thinking and exploring topics in more depth, scaffolding student thinking, using a variety of languages of thinking, and modelling who we are as thinkers and learners, so that the process of our thinking is discussed, shared and valued, as well as made visible for all to see. Teaching and learning using critical and creative thinking can seem like a complex concept. However, it can be as simple as making time for student discussion and reflection and asking deeper questions, such as ‘What makes you say that?’ or ‘Are you able prove that?’ to a student when they share an idea or thought. It sets an agenda of understanding and values the processes of thinking and learning as outcomes in and of themselves, rather than the goal of completing more ‘work’ or achieving an end product (although end products can and will be achieved easily with the use of such thinking cultures).
Junior School teachers – Miss Kylie Chatto, Ms Brette Lockyer, Mr Blair Saunders and Miss Lauren Smith – also gave presentations as part of Mark’s workshop. They spoke about how the thinking routines they are implementing in their classrooms are enhancing their students’ learning and helping to nurture a culture of thinking.
We were fortunate to have Harvard Graduate School’s Associate Professor, Mark Church, visit and work with our staff in the final week of Term 2. This professional learning experience marks the second in a series of workshops of which our staff have had the opportunity to be part. The aim of the professional learning is to move us along the journey of making thinking ‘visible’ and valuing the connecting and deepening of students’ thinking.
Implementing critical and creative thinking at the College reflects our understanding of how students learn – that by being actively involved in a learning process which requires them to collaborate in deep, critical and creative thinking, students are able to demonstrate a greater depth of understanding, more engagement in the topic at hand and also further develop their independence as learners.

THE VET EXPERIENCE
surrounded by new people, I have learnt so many new things about myself (ie, my weaknesses and my strengths), and that I am actually a very capable person.
All Saints’ College recognises and celebrates that all our students learn in different ways, and we support them in their educational journeys by providing a broad, engaging and differentiated teaching and learning program. As part of this, we offer students in Years 11 and 12 the opportunity to undertake the practical and competency-based Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathway. This hands-on learning program sees students complete a minimum of a Certificate II in the industry area of their choice at a public or private training organisation, as part of a School-based Traineeship or online. We are pleased to share with our community two Senior School students’ VET experiences.
DID YOU KNOW? The College currently has 26 students completing certificates in a range of industry areas, as part of the VET program.

3. Where are you currently completing, or have completed, your work placements this year?
Emma Arnold (Year 11) – completing a Certificate III in Media (Film and Television) at the Central Institute of Technology 1. Why did you choose to study via the VET pathway at ASC? I chose the VET pathway for many reasons, the main one being because I am a practical, hands-on learner. When I was introduced to the General Pathway, my life seemed to pan out perfectly. Once you have a stable educational life, it makes the rest so much easier. Now being close to the end of the year, I feel so grateful and blessed to have been able to pursue this pathway. I have gained many life skills, and I am looking forward to continuing a new TAFE course next year when I start Year 12. 2. Describe your experience while attending a training provider off-campus one day a week? Being able to go to a different campus for educational purposes one day a week has greatly increased my independence. Through studying this course and being
In Semester 1, I worked at a small documentary film production company in Fremantle called Metamorflix, which was a great experience. I was given some small tasks, but I learnt those can lead to you doing really interesting jobs. I loved that they made me feel like I was actually part of their staff. Later in the year, I will be going to Brand Agency in the city and I am so excited, as they have developed many commercial advertisements which are on TV. I can’t wait to be exposed to the work they have planned for me. 4. How do you feel ASC has supported you in your learning journey? The College has been amazing through my General Pathway journey. The educational support at school is amazing. Ms Vanessa Kirkham and Ms Grace Itzstein are both so supportive and always available if I need to discuss anything with them. Also, the teachers at the College are all so understanding and helpful. 5. Would you encourage other students to consider the VET pathway, and why? I would encourage other students to go down this journey because it’s enlightening and a great new experience. Especially if you’re a practical learner, I would say it’s one of the best decisions you can make whilst at school. It is great to get an experience of what it’s like to be in a different environment to school and what it’s like to be independent and in an environment similar to university.
6. What do you hope to do once you graduate from ASC? I have always loved acting and makeup, but most of all writing. I hope one day to have one of my novels in progress to be published. That is my ultimate dream. 7. Any other comments? I think the General Pathway is amazing. It changed my life in a sense. They say if you have a stable schooling life it can make your emotional home life so much better, and that definitely is the case with me, as I am doing better than ever.
Sean Amos (Year 12) – completing a School-based Traineeship and Certificate II in Rural Operations at Wellard Rural Exports 1. Why did you choose to study via the VET pathway at ASC? I wanted to try something new, as the ATAR pathway was not really working for me and I wasn’t getting the marks I wanted in Year 11. So I decided to go into Rural Operations at Wellard because agriculture has always interested me. I feel very happy that I’ve selected this option in Year 12, as it will provide me with great opportunities when I am older.
2. Describe your experience while attending a training provider off-campus one day a week? It has been a great experience. At the start of the year I was scared of trying to fit in at Wellard, but over the year my confidence has grown. Some of the tasks that I complete on a regular basis include checking on the welfare of the animals, operating quad bikes, using basic machinery for different jobs, handling livestock; the list goes on. The thing that I’ve learnt the most is that looking after sheep pretty much all of the time is a lot harder than it sounds. They are very hard to control at times and it can become very frustrating. Also, when there are not a lot of sheep down at Wellard, there is always something else to do.
6. Any other comments? I would highly recommend the VET pathway. It will give you vital skills about learning how to work with other people in the workplace. And for me, working at Wellard has also given me the option of working there in the years to come if the opportunity ever arises.
3. How do you feel the College has supported you in your learning journey? All Saints’ has helped me hugely since I started the VET program. I would like to thank Ms Grace Itzstein for all her hard work and for helping me this year, and also to my English teacher, Ms Vanessa Kirkham, for her support. 4. Would you encourage other students to consider the VET pathway, and why? Yes I would, because being around a workplace before you have even finished school is a really good experience. It also allows you to develop some great relationships with fellow work colleagues. 5. What do you hope to do once you graduate from ASC? I definitely want to go into something in Agricultural Business or Rural Operations. However, I have not yet made a decision as I’m focusing on my Year 12 studies at the moment.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION: LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM The All Saints’ College Outdoor Education course provides an opportunity for our Senior School students to develop their understanding of the natural environment, and also strengthens their leadership and teamwork skills.
develop and strengthen their management and groupbased skills by planning and participating in a number of short excursions and expeditions throughout the year. Recently, our Year 12 class enjoyed a four-day 65km Bush Walking Expedition from North Bannister to Dwellingup along the Bibbulmun Track. All students took turns in leading the expedition, which allowed them to develop decision-making, communication and leadership skills. Along the hike they also participated in a number of lessons which was extremely beneficial, as they were able to link a variety of theories with the practical demands of the expedition. The Year 11 Outdoor Education class braved the Avon River for a three-day high-intensity White Water Kayaking Camp in September. These students tested their practical, organisational, leadership and teamwork skills throughout the highly-enjoyable experience. The College is pleased to be one of only two schools in the state to offer this Avon River camp for our students. These recent camps (and many similar events) challenge our Outdoor Education students to learn well beyond the classroom in a range of environments and circumstances.
The course integrates practical experiences with conceptual understanding by rotating between the classroom and the great outdoors. It is available to our students as an elective in Years 9 and 10, and then as a General Course in Years 11 and 12. Through immersion in the natural environment, our Outdoor Education students learn to assess risks and adapt to changing situations. They are also able to

ENRICHING EXPERIENCES FOR LANGUAGE STUDENTS Educational excursions, incursions and international trips provide enriching experiences for our Senior School students studying a language at All Saints’ College. These opportunities are aligned with the curriculum and provide students studying French, Italian and Japanese with the opportunity to take what they have been practising in the classroom and apply it in practical situations. Our Language students have engaged in a number of exciting activities and events this year. During the April holidays, eight students studying French at the College travelled on a rewarding language exchange that began in Paris. Accompanied by Madame Chu and Dr Brockbank, the students spent a few days exploring and visiting the legendary sights. The next part of the journey was meeting their host families in Nice, with whom they would be spending the next two weeks. “Being immersed in the French culture was incredibly eye-opening − trying traditional dishes of the South, walking around the beautiful old town and, of course, spending a week at a real French high school,” said Georgia Balding and Isabelle Arnold (Year 10). During this time the All Saints’ group also went on many excursions, including visiting the top of the snowy Auron mountain village, and back down again to the beautiful city of Monaco. “One highlight was definitely La Journée des Langues (Languages Day) at the French high school we attended. We presented to the English classes about life in Perth

and held quizzes about Australia, most of which resulted in rewards of fairy bread or punishments of Vegemite!” they said. The following term, students studying Italian in Years 9-12 visited areas around Perth to learn more about the country’s food, traditions and culture. The group began with a tour of European Foods in Northbridge, where they heard more about the first Italian store set up in 1936 to cater for migrants. They then stopped at the WA Italian Club to learn about its history and enjoyed an authentic three-course lunch. To conclude the day the students were taught how to play bocce, a ball sport played in the Roman Empire, at the Azzurri Club in West Perth.

Year 10 student, Serena Joppich, said from the excursion she was able to learn more about the Italian community in Perth. “The Italian excursion was a really creative and enjoyable learning experience. It provided a great opportunity for students studying Italian to immerse themselves in the Italian society here in WA, and learn more about the Italian lifestyle in Australia,” Aleesha Spalding (Year 12) said. Our Year 10 Japanese class learned about the history and artistry of writing haikus, a well-known form of Japanese poetry, earlier this year. To help these students prepare for an upcoming assessment, practising poet, Rose van Son, came to the College to lead a workshop.

Student, Nadia Allen, said the incursion was very memorable and all the students learned something new, whether it was inspiration for a haiku or tips on how to write one. “Rose also helped us improve our drafts, and taught us how to create much better poems. All of us who attended the workshop are very thankful for this experience as it was very helpful and we are grateful to have met her,” Nadia said.

CHORAL FESTIVAL EXTENDS STUDENTS’ SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
The Junior School Choral Festival has been engaging students with the joys of singing, whilst broadening their skills and experiences, since its inception 11 years ago.
The shelves are overflowing at the All Saints’ College Junior School Library after it won more than 300 books, courtesy of the Kellogg’s Free Books competition winner – Year 2 All Saints’ student, Kaitlyn Martin.
The Choral Festival provides students with the opportunity to experience the delight of singing as a choir, one which may otherwise be missed. By performing together students learn the importance of teamwork, with every member of the choir playing a role. The influences of choral singing and speech extend beyond just enjoyment and teamwork, with the rhythms and the words used in performance stimulating brain development with specific focus on numeracy and literacy. The College congratulates every choir member, with special thanks to the dedicated staff for facilitating this wonderful experience.
This year’s festival, themed ‘Earth, Sea and Sky’, saw classes from Years 1 to 6 present a short program of songs, prepared in their music lessons. Each year group was provided a separate inspiration for their works in keeping with the theme, such as ‘Water’ (Year 2) and ‘Adaptions’ (Year 5). The wonderful performances were judged by Mrs Anette Kerkovius (Head of Music) and Mrs Mary Walton (West Australian Orff Schulwerk Association Committee member) with the honours being awarded for Best Choral Speech, Best Choir and Runner-Up by Ms Penelope Crane, Dean of Junior School.

“I am happy because when the children go to the All Saints’ College Library, there are more books for them to read and they don’t have to squabble over them,” Kaitlyn said. “There are lots to choose from!” The donation of 304 Penguin books (priced at $5 000) is warmly appreciated, and enables the students to lose themselves among the pages and let their imaginations run wild.
Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, said there are many prolific readers in the Junior School and they are always searching for new material to read. “The teachers at the College take every opportunity to promote the importance and the enjoyment of reading, so it is wonderful to have such a big and unexpected boost to our Library. I feel confident that the books will be well used and appreciated,” Ms Crane said. Kaitlyn’s personal collection was also bolstered, receiving around 100 books for her to read at home. As a zealous reader, she was very excited when her mum told her she had won the competition. Her favourites include the Sporty Kids series and the Juliet, Nearly a Vet series.
COLLEGE CHOIRS EXCEL AT EISTEDDFOD All Saints’ College’s instrumental, vocal and choral musicians were amongst the state’s most talented performers at this year’s Fremantle Eisteddfod. In particular, we congratulate our four College Choirs for securing three first place wins and one second at the music competition held at Fremantle Town Hall in May. Our Years 7 and 8 Girls’ choir, College Voices, placed first with an almost perfect score of 98%. Saints’ Blokes (Years 9-12 boys) and Saints’ Harmony (Years 9-12 girls) both also won their categories with 97% and 96% scores, respectively. Our youngest choir involving Years 3 and 4 students, Junior Voices, had a wonderful performance and came a respectable second.

Lachy Gilham (Year 12) – Laser Sailing In early August, Lachy Gilham (Year 12) competed against the world’s best sailors at the 2016 Laser World Sailing Championships (Under 21) in Kiel, Germany. Lachy entered the international competition ranked number one in his age division and was in a great position to take on some of the best sailors in the world, many of whom are Olympic athletes.
She travelled with her team mates first to Fiji for the Oceania Championships in late June, and then to Russia the following month for the FINA World Junior Synchronised Swimming Championships. At the Oceania event, Alessandra was awarded two Gold medals in the Team and Combo categories and a Silver in the Junior Solo. Alessandra commenced lessons only five years ago in this unique sport which combines Swimming, Ballet, Water Polo and Gymnastics. In a short time she has reached an international level, which is a testament to her talent and commitment to training several times a week. “My future goal is to represent Australia at the next World Junior Championships which will be in Perth in 2018 and to be part of the 2020 Olympic Synchronised Swimming Team,” said Alessandra.
Lachy began sailing in 2010 during a Learn to Sail Course at South of Perth Yacht Club. Lachy recounts, “By day three I was hooked…and haven’t looked back since.”

EDUCATIONAL TOURS OF OUR NATION’S CAPITAL Australia’s capital city is rich in heritage and offers an abundance of historical and cultural experiences, iconic attractions, and stimulating educational programs covering a broad range of subjects in the curriculum. All Saints’ College is therefore pleased to offer two educational tours to Canberra annually, for any interested students in Year 6 and our Year 11 Politics and Law (P&L) students. Both groups, eager to explore and learn, visited the capital earlier this year. On the agenda for our Year 11 students was a visit to Parliament House, the National War Memorial, Canberra Deep Space Centre and High Court, as well as various exhibitions, galleries and museums. The visit to Parliament House included a mock Senate Committee hearing on the topic of ‘euthanasia’ and at Old Parliament House, the students re-enacted the 1975 Dismissal of Gough Whitlam. The P&L students and College staff Ms Vanessa Kirkham and Mr Tim Brown, enjoyed meeting up with Old Saint, Sam Bide (2009), who is now working in the office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. They were also fortunate to have lunch at the National Press Club of Australia, dining with the leader of the Greens Party, Richard Di Natale.
“On this trip to our nation’s capital we learned much about Australia’s war and political history, the story of Canberra, well-known artists, the Deep Space Station and so much more,” commented Alex Crowhurst and Kieran Reilly (Year 11). During the July holidays, 38 excited Year 6 students accompanied by five staff members travelled to Canberra. Their week was filled with visits to various attractions, all of which enhanced the learning of the curriculum, including Parliament House, the National War Memorial, High Court, Questacon, and the National Gallery. The students also enjoyed a day tobogganing at Perisher snowfields, in what was a first experience of snow for many of our students. All were in agreement that the experience was both highly enjoyable and educational. Particular thanks to the staff who accompanied the Year 6 students – Miss Lauren Smith, Mrs Sue Demarte, Mrs Iola Knight, Mr Gordon Gatti and Mrs Caroline Long.
DID YOU KNOW? The first P&L trip to Canberra took place in 2000. Further trips were at irregular intervals to begin with – 2002, 2005 – but from 2008 they have been a popular part of the College’s yearly program. Next year’s will be our 13th such trip.

CAREERS EXPO PREPARES STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE The annual All Saints’ College Careers Exposition provides our students, parents and community members with an opportunity to engage with exhibitors and learn more about post-school pathways.
Attendance at the Careers Exposition is essential for our Year 10s and assists with their course selection for upper school. Our Year 11 and 12 students are also strongly encouraged to be present and gather as much knowledge from the various representatives about courses or opportunities available to them. Introduced in 2005 by Ms Grace Itzstein (ASC Careers Counsellor), this event aims to prepare students and their families for the future by equipping them with as much knowledge as possible about the various career pathways. “Each year this event has grown and delivers better outcomes for our students. As the event opened, students were excited and eagerly sought out the people of most interest to them. Once engaged in the evening, many students went on to speak with people about careers they hadn’t initially envisaged to be of interest to them, only to learn about a possible different career path or institution,” Ms Itzstein said.
At this year’s event, the College was pleased to host a significant number of representatives from a range of sectors, including leading training providers, higher education institutions, employers and community organisations – all under the one roof of our Centre for Performing Arts. Also volunteering their time to speak at the event were 44 Old Saints, College parents and special friends of the community.

After the event, students commented that the Career Exposition was “far better than they had anticipated” and that they found the evening “invaluable in their career pathway planning and their subject selection process.” The College is grateful to all the exhibitors, Old Saints, parents and friends for volunteering their time to speak with our students at this year’s Careers Exposition.
INSPIRATIONAL TALK FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY Earlier this year we were fortunate to attend an event in honour of International Women’s Day at The University of Western Australia (UWA), presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Federal Member for Curtin, the Hon Julie Bishop MP. The talk, entitled Power, International Politics, World Leaders and the Art of Persuasion, was supported by UWA’s Centenary Trust for Women and saw Ms Bishop discuss her role in the federal government, involvement in foreign affairs, dealings with other world leaders and her journey and experiences as the first female Foreign Minister of Australia. Following her presentation, Ms Bishop answered questions from the audience which comprised many young men and women from across Perth. This informal conversation and Q&A offered further insight into the life of a politician. A stand-out answer, which resonated with both of us, was when she was questioned about what it was like to be both Foreign Minister and a woman. Ms Bishop responded that she did not view her actions through the lens of gender. Rather, she ‘got on with the job’ and tackled the inevitable challenges of her role, as

any minister would. We found this response not only interesting, but telling of who she is as a leader. The experience was an invaluable one, and offered us an interesting and perceptive look into the world of one of the country’s most influential leaders. Kyra Belford-Thomas and Dechen Khadro Year 12

POSITIVE STUDENT WELLBEING
ETHICAL, AWARE AND EMPOWERED CITIZENS WITH THE DESIRE AND SKILLS TO MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE
As part of our partnership with the Bayulu Community School and Teach, Learn, Grow (TLG) – and in keeping with the College’s vision (Making a positive difference in our world) – a group of Year 11 and 12 students recently travelled to Fitzroy Crossing, where they provided one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to Indigenous children.
TLG’s mission is to close the education gap by improving the educational outcomes and aspirations of rural and Indigenous students in socio-economic disadvantaged areas. The College joined forces with TLG to offer this program to our Year 11 and 12 students. Prior to this, the TLG model has only ever been run through universities for tertiary students. Year 11 participant, Mitchell Hughes-Owen, said the ASC students got to know the Bayulu children better by talking with them during breaks, as well as playing football and other sports with them on the oval. “Although we only spent one week at Bayulu, the connection we made with the students was one to last a lifetime. All of us came back with a sense of achievement and a smile on our faces,” Mitchell reflected. When the group was not tutoring at the Community School, they toured caves and gorges and visited some of the other remote communities in the area.
Twelve of our students were selected to take part in this inaugural Service Learning program during the winter holidays, accompanied by Acting Dean of Student Wellbeing Mr Timothy Russell (1990), and Acting Head of Outdoor Learning, Miss Katrina Harris (2007).
“This trip was very much a two-way learning opportunity, with some wonderfully enriching learning experiences offered to our students. The immersive nature of the program saw students’ awareness of the culture and the needs of others grow, provided them with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, and assisted them in using their education to contribute towards a better and more equitable society,” said Principal, Ms Belinda Provis.
Throughout four days, our College volunteers worked alongside the Bayulu students providing support and development in a number of areas including Mathematics, Literacy, Science, and even High Jump!

WHEELCHAIR CHALLENGE RAISES AWARENESS Three All Saints’ College Leadership Team members ‘gave up’ the use of their legs for 24 hours for a Wheelchair Challenge to raise awareness of the challenges people with disabilities face each day, and funds for Wheelchair Sports WA. Our Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, along with Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, and Acting Vice Principal, Mr Steven Davies, walked into Assembly in late March and then rolled out in a wheelchair to begin the experience. This initiative, organised by Acting Dean of Student Wellbeing, Mr Timothy Russell, allows participants to experience living with a disability and the issue of accessibility. “Having members of our Leadership Team working from a wheelchair will serve as a reminder that having a disability does not 24

need to stop people from making the most of their abilities, or making a significant contribution to society,” Mr Russell said. Wheelchair Sports WA’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of West Australians living with a physical disability by providing social, recreational and sporting opportunities.
All Saints’ College’s Early Childhood students and families reinforced the Easter message of giving, by generously donating hundreds of chocolate eggs to the children at Parkerville Children and Youth Care. Parkerville is a 113 year old not-for-profit organisation which provides care for vulnerable children and youth in the community through the provision of a therapeutic environment that utilises a range of professional services.
COMMUNITY ARTISTS CONNECT FOR A CAUSE Our College families were only too happy to support Parkerville’s Easter Appeal, ensuring disadvantaged children were able to enjoy the magic of Easter. “We are very fortunate to have gifts at Easter and we wanted to make it a special time for those who may otherwise miss out,” said Mrs Sara Mano, Early Childhood Coordinator.
All Saints’ College recently hosted a fundraising art exhibition, Connected, featuring more than 200 works created by members of the wider community, with proceeds from sales donated to Nulsen Disability Services.
A Parkerville representative collected the donations from our Junior School Administration prior to Easter and was overwhelmed by the generosity of our community.
The College has developed a strong partnership with the disability service provider, fostered through our Service Learning program.
Nulsen resident painting her artwork for the exhibition
Nulsen’s mission is to enable people with disabilities to lead the life they want while maintaining their wellbeing. One of the many opportunities available to residents is engagement in art as expression, therapy and communication. Nulsen residents contributed 102 remarkable artworks to the Connected Exhibition. One parent reflected, “It was really lovely that everyone, not only students and teachers, but also people from the wider community, were able to participate with their pieces of artwork – and all for Nulsen Disability Services.” This concept was developed and organised by Senior School Art teacher, Ms Louise Elscot.
The art event was proposed to the College community in March this year, and the response was overwhelming, with hundreds of students, staff, Nulsen residents, Old Saints and friends of ASC registering to participate in this worthy cause.
“We understand this charity receives little funding from the government, so I thank all community members for helping to make a difference for Wheelchair Sports WA and the children and adults it supports,” Ms Provis said.
All artworks were available for purchase through an online auction and, again, the response from our community was wonderful, with a total of $4 404.17 raised for Nulsen.
“Thank you to all the artists, students and community members who contributed to the success of this exhibition. The artworks demonstrated the diversity and creativity of our community. Keep an eye out for next year’s theme for our fundraising exhibition,” Ms Elscot said.
The collection of unique artworks, relating to the theme ‘Connected’, was displayed in our Centre for Performing Arts and officially unveiled on Friday, 17 June.
Our generous community donated more than $2 000 to the organisation, which will go some way in helping to make a difference in many people’s lives. Since our staff took up this challenge, a number of our students have also spent a day in a wheelchair to raise awareness for this worthy cause.

STUDENTS FLOURISH IN COSI All Saints’ College has again provided students with the opportunity to broaden their skills and experiences, this time though The Arts in this year’s College Production. The Centre for Performing Arts hosted Louis Nowra’s Cosi for three successful shows at the end of Term 2. Amongst the din of Vietnam War protest in Melbourne, the play was set within a burnt- out theatre in a mental asylum. As the narrative unfolded and the characters prepared to perform Mozart’s Così fan tutte, a touching insight was provided into life through the patients’ eyes. Production Director and Head of The Arts, Mr Stephen Roberts, used his creative licence to take a fresh spin on the Australian classic. This included the use of two casts and a large ensemble. Amongst many highlights was the impressive set which framed and amplified the drama. As Mr Roberts explained, “The angle of the stage was deliberately altered to reflect the way in which we ‘viewed’ the quirky characters. The design was such that wherever you sat you would see something that another audience member wouldn’t see…a specific choice that complements societal judgements.” This rendition also saw the collaboration between Drama, Dance and Music, providing greater opportunities for students to grow their skill set, whilst creating a more diverse and captivating performance for the audience. Productions of this calibre do not materialise overnight: this performance was the result of months of hard work and dedication from all involved.
26
THE DOVE GOAL 2
“The students worked tirelessly to learn lines and create effective blocking choices,” Mr Roberts noted. However, such long hours and sacrifice certainly did not go unrewarded for those involved. It gifted a memorable opportunity for students to hone their skills in areas such as acting, sound, lighting and directing. Year 12 student, Kate Davoren, took on the role of Assistant Director, traditionally filled by two students, single-handedly. For Kate, this experience taught her about the intricate process of creating a dramatic performance and “the detailed organisation that many never realise goes on behind the scenes.” From an actor’s perspective, “The whole production process – from auditions, to rehearsals, to the performance – is one big learning opportunity,” said Kyra Belford-Thomas (Year 12). For others, this provided a chance to nurture existing relationships, and forge new ones. As Emma Haines (Year 12) explained, “Over this wonderful experience, I have formed great relationships with the staff and students. We’ve spent a lot of time together and inevitably we’ve learnt a lot from one another.” The College is grateful for the team of experienced and skilled parents who assisted in the creation of many intricate costumes, guided by costume and set designer, Mr Steven Smith. We congratulate the cast and crew for their endless dedication, which once more yielded another wonderful performance.

TWO GENERATIONS STRIKE UP A FRIENDSHIP Throughout this year, as part of the College’s Service Learning program, our Year 6 classes have been visiting our neighbours at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAFA) Retirement Village.
Emily Arney (Year 6) said she was delighted when Rosemary first saw the map because “her face showed that she loved it so much…she was basically speechless.” Finlay Balding (Year 6) said he felt really joyful when he presented the map his group had created. “To make someone feel that way, made the day more special than any other,” he said. We also received some very positive feedback about our Year 6 students, including a phone call from one RAAFA resident who spoke highly about her new friends, saying they were “polite, respectful, kind, loving (they always gave her a hug) and a credit to the College.”
Year 5 students at Frederick Guest Village
Year 6S was the first group of students to participate in the program, which began mid way through Term 1. Over the course of five get-togethers the two generations connected through in-depth discussions, where our students were keen to listen and learn about the residents. They then used this knowledge to create Biography Maps depicting the lives of their new friends – a task which links to learning in Humanities and Social Sciences. At their final visit to RAAFA, the class presented their work to those with whom they had built a relationship.
Each Year 6 class will have the opportunity to engage in this rewarding program throughout the year, and the College intends to look for ways in which we can further honour the connections that the RAAFA residents and our students have made. Our Year 5 students are also participating in a similar program which has been equally successful, visiting the senior residents at Frederick Guest Village.
STAFF V STUDENT COMPETITION NURTURES INCLUSIVE CULTURE The annual Principal’s Cup provides staff and Year 12 students the opportunity to compete against one another on an even playing field during a three game, mixed sport, series. This cocurricular tradition promotes a healthy rivalry between teacher and pupil, with games being played in good spirits. Historically, the competition has been one sided, with the staff winning the series since the Cup’s official inception in 2011. This tradition, however, dates back much further with Staff v Student fixtures having been played for more than 30 years.
DOORKNOCKING FOR A CAUSE Forty-eight All Saints’ College students and a number of College staff joined thousands of volunteers around Australia to doorknock for the 2016 Red Shield Appeal on the weekend of 28 and 29 May. Our College doorknockers were briefed on the Sunday morning before heading out in pairs and on foot for five hours. Head of Religion and Philosophy, Mrs Kay von Dietze, said our students who volunteered their time received immense personal benefits. “The students’ participation in the doorknock weekend also gives the community a chance to donate and, of course, help the Salvation Army to continue with its essential services for the disadvantaged,” she said.
Head of Health and Physical Education, Mr Oliver Beath, said the results of the competition transcend the sporting field and “allow staff and students to get to know each other away from the curriculum and the classroom in a fun, relaxed environment where both groups are seen as equals.”
Together, the All Saints’ group covered a vast area spanning from South Street to Leach Highway and from Kwinana Freeway to Karel Avenue, Bull Creek.
The Staff v Student competition helps to nurture a friendly and inclusive culture, fostering positive student wellbeing.
The College community has been volunteering for the Red Shield Appeal for more than 20 years, and we are proud to continue this tradition of giving back to those less fortunate.
Once they returned to campus they enjoyed a welldeserved barbeque and counted their donations, which totalled an impressive $4 129.85. Senior School students count the donated funds with Mrs Ann Strautins (front) and Mrs Kay von Dietze (behind)
DID YOU KNOW? The College was involved in the Red Shield Appeal from its very start. In 2009 we received the Medibank Private Community Award for our efforts in the Appeal.

ROWATHON CHALLENGE UNITES STUDENTS In August, the All Saints’ College Rowing Squad united as a team to spend 12 consecutive hours on the water for the first ever ‘Rowathon Challenge’, with the objective of raising funds for a new boat, as well as strengthening students’ leadership, teamwork and rowing skills.
DJAALINY: COMMUNITY LEARNING PROGRAM 2016/2017 SAVE THE DATES Initially envisaged by Lia Franklin (Year 11), the College’s inaugural Rowathon was a great success and with the funds generously donated, we hope to purchase a new school quadruple scull for training and racing. The Rowathon was dedicated to Lisa Carnell, a College parent who sadly passed away earlier this year. Lisa was a devoted supporter of the All Saints’ Rowing program, and this event commemorated her enthusiasm and dedication. We thank Bill Carnell and his daughter, Shannae Carnell (2015), for supporting us on the day. Thank you to everyone who donated, supported and sponsored this event, and also to our coaches, Mrs Boserio and Mr Goor, as well as Ms Provis, for their support.

THANK YOU & FAREWELL TO OUR LONG-SERVING STAFF MRS JILL GREEN All Saints’ College bade a sad farewell to long-serving staff member, Mrs Jill Green, earlier this year as she embarked on new ventures. In 1991, Jill joined the College in the role of Reprographics Officer, assisting staff with their photocopying and stationery requirements. As ASC expanded and new buildings were developed, Jill’s roles in administration varied and over the next eight years she embraced the roles of Receptionist, Acting Registrar, Personal Assistant to the Bursar, and even a Teachers’ Typist for a short period of time. The Registrar role became vacant at the College in the late 90s, and as Jill had already developed strong relationships within the community, she was the perfect fit for the position. Over the next 16 years, Jill was the first point of contact for all new students and families to the College. She devoted herself to not only ensuring student numbers were maintained and improved,

but also to addressing each enrolment enquiry with the highest quality of service and her own personal touch. Jill’s care for each student went well beyond their first day, and continued until they graduated from the College – a fine quality that was very much appreciated. Developing this wonderful rapport with the students and their families was what Jill describes as her favourite part of the job. This was only enhanced through her organisation and participation in many camps and ski trips, the organisation of the Netball program in its early years, as well as her assistance with recording results at Interhouse Carnivals. Two of Jill’s children also attended the College, Danielle (1997) and Chantel (1993). In January 2015, Jill moved to the Junior School to take up the Administration Support Officer position. This was a new challenge and one she thoroughly enjoyed, being amongst the hive of activity and our younger students. We thank Jill for her 25 years of dedicated service to the College.
We were also sad to farewell Mr Daniel Chapman from our ICT department this year, after more than 10 years working at ASC. Daniel commenced employment at the College as an ICT Classroom Support Officer in October 2005. Early the following year he became ICT Support Technician, and in 2008 Daniel moved into the role of Network Administrator, where he supervised the replacement of the ICT services throughout the College, before helping to expand services to allow the 1-to -1 program to grow through to Year 12.

‘RESTLESS CURIOSITY’ SUPPORTS STAFF IN ONGOING LEARNING
Miss Penny Crossland with Kathy (teacher from Dallas)
The All Saints’ College Restless Curiosity program was introduced two years ago to support our staff in their ongoing learning and professional growth. Our College staff have been pursuing ‘restless curiosity’ through their involvement in a number of programs and attendance at professional development conferences, or by undertaking additional study. Recently, three ASC employees have been fortunate to travel overseas to the United States as part of Restless Curiosity. Junior School teacher, Miss Penny Crossland, said her participation in University of California’s Greater Good Science Institute in late June was a ‘professional highlight’.

“I left the course feeling empowered with cutting- edge, science -based socio - emotional and mindfulness strategies, tools and techniques, which will enable me to continue to implement this important aspect of student development in our College environment,” Penny reflected. This course, one that ASC staff now attend annually, sees participants engage actively with material through workshops and discussions, role plays, peer coaching, and other interactive techniques that can be used with students. Another conference in the US which College staff also attend each year is the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero. Head of Mathematics, Dr Phil Brockbank, attended this year’s conference which focused on Futures of Learning, and described the presentations as ‘exceptional’.

Project Zero’s work includes investigations into the nature of intelligence, understanding, thinking, creativity, ethics, and other essential aspects of human learning. While on the other side of the world, Phil also felt it was important to attend (at his own expense) the 23rd International Conference on Learning at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He previously presented a paper and took part in discussions at the 2015 event. “Both conferences proved to be highly informative and have reinforced many of my beliefs about education, and more importantly, provided me with added enthusiasm to provide continuous support to all those striving to make All Saints’ a leading provider of quality education in WA,” Phil said. The AISWA ICT Study Tour and ISTE Conference, held in late June, was a wonderful learning opportunity for Mr Steve Tsocas (Head of ICT Integration). It provided an insight into the impact of digital technology on the evolving nature of schooling and teaching. The tour included visits to San Francisco Academy of Science and Stanford University, and industry leaders Google and Microsoft. The group also attended the ISTE Conference and Expo which showcased effective use of technology in the curriculum, pedagogical research, and the latest hardware and software. Steve returned to ASC with invaluable knowledge on international ICT education programs, including the emergence of STEM integrated curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) which is being widely adopted by schools all over the world. We are most thankful to the College Foundation for their ongoing support of the Restless Curiosity program which has provided these staff, and many others, with the opportunity to continue their learning.
A number of our staff have also commenced, or continued further study, with support from the program. We are pleased to share some of their reflections:
Mrs Marianne Beattie (Head of Design and Technologies) I have wanted to continue with my studies and gain my Master of Education for a very long time. The All Saints’ Restless Curiosity program has enabled me to do this. I chose to focus on a Master of Education in Leadership and Management at Notre Dame University. This course not only enables me to apply theory to the practice of leading, but I am also able to understand a whole-school leadership perspective, rather than a purely departmental one. I have completed five out of the eight units required. Although it is a huge undertaking in addition to teaching, leading a department and having a young family, it allows me to ‘practise what I preach’ - that learning is a lifelong pursuit.

an organisation, while balancing its operational and strategic requirements and ensuring this information is presented in a timely and relevant fashion. As Director of Marketing and Community Relations, I am able to immediately apply this knowledge, and look forward to further learning opportunities.
Ms Hayley Wellington (Media Studies teacher) As part of the Restless Curiosity program, I am studying a Master of Education course at Curtin University. I am undertaking this study because I’m keenly interested in how schools may better prepare students for the future world, and in particular how Media Studies might play a significant role in this preparation. As part of my studies so far, I have investigated numerous interactive technologies and how these may enhance learning, and have examined the notion of ‘media literacy’ and how this may need redefining as our technological world continues to develop. I hope to use the knowledge that I am acquiring to build a better Media Studies program that is responsive to current trends and at the same time embraces the future needs of students.
Prior to starting at All Saints’, I had commenced an MBA which I put ‘on hold’ whilst I became familiar with my new role. With support from the Principal, the Restless Curiosity program has encouraged and allowed me to continue these studies, as the College recognises the importance of bringing a wide-range of skills into the decisionmaking process. My recent studies have examined the critical need to understand the financial needs of

TALENTED MUSIC TUTORS TAKE THE STAGE
CREATING CONNECTIONS WITH RESTLESS CURIOSITY
All Saints’ College’s Music tutors showcased their talent, experience and knowledge when they took centre stage to present a wonderful afternoon concert for our community in April.
As part of the Restless Curiosity program, Acting Dean of Student Wellbeing, Mr Timothy Russell, and Senior School English teacher, Mrs Natasha Saunders, were selected as representatives of All Saints’ College to participate in the inaugural teamteaching program in Poanta Sahib, India.
This annual concert not only highlights the talent of our Music tutors, but also allows our students who undertake instrumental tuition at the College to see their teachers perform on stage. All Saints’ offers instrumental tuition in guitar, percussion, harp, organ, piano or any orchestral or band instrument of their choice. Vocal tuition is also available. Many thanks to the dedicated Music tutors who gave their time to present this concert, and to the FOM and College staff who helped bring this event to fruition.
This year’s Tutors’ Concert featured a variety of instruments, ensembles and music ranging from classical to contemporary and jazz, and was performed by 16 of our Music tutors. Guests were then invited to an afternoon tea in the Centre for Performing Arts foyer, provided by the Friends of Music (FOM), a group of parents committed to supporting our musical program at the College.

The Tibetan students were keen to know more about Australia, and Tim and Natasha’s suitcases were certainly heavier (filled with letters to ASC students) when they departed. Although initially extremely shy, as they came to know their guest teachers, the students began to take great delight in demonstrating their skills in English language speaking and writing, which is a focus of the curriculum. The other part of their journey included time in New Delhi, where they visited St Columbus, a Christian Brothers school that permits after hours use of its grounds and resources for the benefit of a group of 60 to 70 children from nearby slums. Here, Tim and Natasha had the honour of meeting Brother Steve Rochas who facilitates a teaching program that includes English, Dance and Drama to empower the children by teaching skills that will provide more positive opportunities for employment.
Tim and Natasha spent around two weeks as guests of the Sambhota Tibetan School, located 300km north of New Delhi. They were graciously hosted by the dedicated Principal, Mr Namgyal Yemphel, and their team teachers Ms Kunsang and Mr Samdup.
“This was an amazing journey and Tim and I thank the College for providing us with the opportunity. We are now working towards fostering connections with both the Junior and Senior Schools through written and digital communication, and also through the prospect of a Service Learning expedition where ASC students will transfer their skills and knowledge to the students of the schools in India,” said Natasha.
“Our stay was both personally and professionally enriching as we were able to observe and teach classes in English, Politics, Economics and Mathematics. We also enjoyed spending time socialising, which even

NATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD Twelve teachers from across the nation have been recognised for their outstanding contributions to education with 2015 ASG National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA). The College is delighted to announce that one of the recipients, selected from more than 1100 nominations, is our Head of Forrest House and Health and Physical Education teacher, Ms Brooke Haendel. On hearing the news of her award, Brooke responded, “I feel this award is a reflection of the quality of teachers at All Saints’ College – there are many who are achieving outstanding educational outcomes.” Brooke joined the other outstanding educators at a ceremony held in Melbourne earlier this year to receive her ASG NEiTA for Innovation. In her various roles at the College, and as a UWA Adjunct Lecturer, Brooke has developed differentiated educational programs which help students address bullying, build assertiveness and positive relationships, make healthy decisions and understand the value of academic reflection. ASG NEiTA Chairman, Mr Allen Blewitt, said these programs established by Brooke are “highly innovative and address values-based issues which can be confronting for adolescents.” “Topics such as decision making, masculinity, assertiveness and supportive relationships are particularly insightful and provide an avenue for having healthy

discussions and the opportunity to challenge some stereotypical ideas. This can really make a difference to young people’s lives as they question their own values and the choices they make. It also allows them to manage their behaviours as they apply their learnings to practical situations. I applaud Ms Haendel on the success of these initiatives with different themes picked up across the varying year levels. As one of the many examples, Ms Haendel has been instrumental in the development of a targeted Year 10 Auto Shop program at ASC which teaches students about the challenges facing new drivers and practical skills when it comes to driving,” Mr Blewitt said.
This year marked a significant milestone for one of our dedicated staff members, Mr Daniel Kendrick, who celebrated 30 years employment at All Saints’ College. At the age of 21, Daniel’s first job as a Groundsman was to remove the sprinklers to make way for the Years 5/6 building. Now, 30 years on, Daniel has witnessed the writing of a new chapter with the construction of the College’s most recent teaching and learning facility on the same site as the former building.
“It is an absolute pleasure to have Brooke as an ASG NEiTA ambassador. She represents the true epitome of dedicated teachers who genuinely care about the educational success and wellbeing of their students,” he added.
After 24 years working in the Grounds department, Daniel moved to the Maintenance team six years ago and found a renewed enthusiasm for work.
MR JULES WEEKS One of the College’s Counsellors, Mr Jules Weeks, achieved his Master of Psychology this year (title of thesis: The Family Reintegration Experience of Formerly Incarcerated Men and their Families: A Qualitative Literature Review). Well done from all of us, Jules – we all celebrate this happy news with you.
MR BANNING NEIGHBOUR Congratulations to ASC Grounds staff member, Mr Banning Neighbour, for completing his Horticultural Apprenticeship in early April.
“I enjoy working in the Maintenance department, especially the different challenges that come up each day. I really feel part of a team,” Daniel said.
“As an educator for 11 years, and Head of House for five, Brooke has worked to create a stimulating and effective learning environment for her students, ensuring pastoral support that provides sensitive care and opportunities for personal growth, resilience and self-efficacy. Brooke further encourages each individual to value self worth, to realise their unique qualities and to respect and admire others,” Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, said.
“Thank you, ASC, for giving me the opportunity to work at one place for so long. I hope to continue the relationship for many more years.” Daniel is an invaluable asset to the College, in both what he does and who he is as a humble and good-natured community member. We thank him for his continuous dedication and contribution to our community.
The entire College community congratulates Brooke on this outstanding achievement. (Principal) and Above: Daniel with Ms Belinda Provis w: Daniel with Ms Helen Aguiar (Vice Principal) Belo his Maintenance team colleagues

BUILDING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Fathers’ Day
All Saints’ College has always fostered a strong sense of community and encourages the active involvement of our parents and families.
Our Early Childhood classes host annual Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day celebrations, as part of the College’s Service Learning program, to recognise and give back to those who do so much for the students and our community.
We are pleased to support this connection by organising a number of activities and events each year, celebrating the diversity of our students and their families, and acknowledging the roles they play in our community.
Other highlights in the College calendar are the annual Junior School and Year 7 Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Days, where we recognise the important role these people play in our students’ lives.
Our Kindergarten families are invited to share something important to them with their child’s class or year group during Family Sharing Mornings held throughout the year.
“These family events allow our children to share their learning and take pride in showing their loved ones what they have created,” said Early Childhood Coordinator, Mrs Sara Mano.
We have been fortunate to have a number of College families willingly participate in this initiative, including: Juliet Gray’s dad who spoke about being a paramedic; Eva Vassallo’s grandparents created their special pancakes; Emma Roos’ dad shared his love for playing the guitar; and Leonardo Di Latte’s family spoke about their Italian heritage, and made pizzas with the students.

“Our Early Childhood Philosophy is to embrace the diversity of our students and their families, thereby enriching our College community,” she added. The College celebrates this diversity by acknowledging cultural and religious traditions such as Chinese New Year, Shrove Tuesday and Easter Sunday, among many others. “Recognising these events is our way of making everyone feel welcome at the College. Our students also learn to value other ways of being, doing and thinking,” said Mrs Mano.

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE PROGRAM
OUR HERITAGE OF INNOVATION
Each year students from All Saints’ College have the opportunity to experience an international exchange in the United States or become a host to an American student, thanks to our partnership of four years with the Rotary Club of Melville.
The annual All Saints’ College Heritage Week provides an opportunity for our entire community to celebrate and remember an aspect of our history.
Our Texan visitors attended classes for two weeks with their host student at the College and then spent three weeks on holidays with their ASC families. Some of the experiences they enjoyed included visiting Rottnest Island; attending an Eagles AFL game; feeding kangaroos; celebrating Independence Day at a luncheon hosted by the Rotary Club; and meeting Cabinet Minister, Hon Dean Nalder MLA, at WA Parliament House. The College hopes these students enjoyed their cultural exchange in Perth, made lifelong memories and gained a deeper understanding of the Australian way of life. We know our four Year 11 students will enjoy a similar enriching experience when they embark on a Rotary Youth Exchange to Texas this coming Christmas holidays.
Texan exchange students presenting at the Rotary Club of Melville
As part of this youth exchange program, the College was pleased to welcome five students from Texas for five weeks, beginning in late June this year. We are grateful to the All Saints’ families who not only hosted these students during their stay, but also showed them around our beautiful state, highlighting Australia’s culture and traditions.
This program is made possible by the relationship the College has established with the Rotary Club of Melville, to whom we are very grateful for providing such a wonderful opportunity for all involved.
The focus of this year’s festivities was on the College’s commitment to ‘Innovation’ and our proud tradition of bringing unique ideas to life. Through various activities held in the first week of May, the College community had an opportunity to reflect on how we have been led to where we are today.
A number of instances where we embraced innovation were highlighted in displays around the campus, and included our establishment as the first independent coeducational school in Perth; the development of the vertical Pastoral Care structure in Houses rather than year groups; our Transition Program for Years 7/8 in the Senior School; our pioneering use of notebook computers in the classroom; and the creation of the Literature Festival (now known as Storylines), among many others. Our Old Saints are part of our living heritage and played an important role in the week, for which the College is extremely grateful. They sponsored a number of prizes for the Junior School Art Competition which had the themes ‘A Learning Space of the Future’ and ‘Awesome Jobs of the Future’. In the Senior School, our Old Saints organised a Bridge Building Challenge and held a traditional Sausage Sizzle. The entire week culminated in an Old Saints v Students sporting event in the Indoor Sports Centre, with the former students taking home the trophy. Stay tuned for details on the 2017 Heritage Week!

WAAPA AND ASC JOIN FORCES FOR RADIO ACTIVE
KNIT-IN FOR ANGLICARE WA ASC musicians
Earlier this year, a group of talented Contemporary Music students from All Saints’ College and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) joined together to present Radio Active, a unique Rock Concert.
This event was the culmination of the ladies’ hard work throughout the year, and by the end of the day they had completed around 1 000 beanies, scarves, socks, mittens, jumpers and a mountain of squares to be made into blankets.
The high-energy performance was the culmination of a series of workshops run by WAAPA Contemporary Music staff at the College over a week, combining secondary and tertiary students. Radio Active featured a diverse repertoire, covering all musical bases from pop to rock, R ‘n’ B to soul, and funk classics – all in a spectacularly-produced concert held in the College’s Centre for Performing Arts.
More than 100 knitting and crocheting enthusiasts gathered at All Saints’ College to create warm clothing items for the homeless, as part of the Knit-In for Anglicare WA initiative.

These items were donated to Anglicare, The Salvation Army, Charity Link, the Roman Catholic Church through Shop Front and St Alban’s Church, Highgate. Knit-In was coordinated by Linda Trefry and Robyn Ricket from All Saints’ Anglican Parish in Bull Creek-Leeming. The College is pleased to support this worthy cause again this year by providing the venue for the women to band together and knit up a storm!
Our Years 7 to 12 bands got the crowd going with their musical performances in the first half of the concert, which concluded with lively performances from The Faculty, our staff ensemble featuring Mr Ben Basell, Ms Hayley Wellington, Mr Peter Gault and Mr Daniel Ablett. Guests were then treated to some impeccable performances from WAAPA’s top contemporary singers and musicians, with selected All Saints’ students featured throughout these acts alongside their older peers. Radio Active was the first collaboration from the two Music departments. We hope there will be many more in the future.

NEW TEACHING AND LEARNING FACILITY OFFICIALLY OPENED Former Chair of College Board, Mr Peter Gow, unveiling the plaque
All Saints’ College was delighted to officially open its newest state-of-the-art teaching and learning facility on Wednesday, 31 August. The north-facing three-storey building was developed not only to meet the College’s current needs, as additional streams were recently introduced in Years 5 and 6, but also to accommodate the future needs of the entire ASC community. Our Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, welcomed all to the opening, following a prayer from College Chaplain, Fr Patrick Duckworth. Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, and Year 6 Junior School Captains, Finlay Balding and Yan Liu, took the audience on a journey from the past to the present. A special moment during the ceremony was the passing of a brick and plaque from the original building (demolished to make way for the new project) by Old Saint, Brett Heatley (1992), who was one of the first students to occupy the original building, to his son who is now one of the first to learn in the new facility. A painting commissioned in 2000 to capture the life of students in the previous building was handed over for installation and Mr Peter Gow, College Chair of the Board (2010-2015), officially opened the new facility. Assistant Bishop and Board member, the Right Reverend Kate Wilmot, conducted a dedication ceremony after a performance from the Year 5/6 Choir, Saints’ Voices. The ceremony was held in the wonderfully large ‘occupied stair’ space, resembling an amphitheatre, which has fabulous projection facilities for a range of educational and entertainment purposes.
Designed by Parry & Rosenthal Architects and constructed by EMCO Building, the world-class building was constructed in only 12 months. Whilst the Year 5s enjoy a new home-base on the ground floor, and the Year 6s inhabit the floor above, both levels offer a range of other spaces for all our students to enjoy. The ground floor provides an additional ‘general learning area’, as well as a large multipurpose room. The top floor features two additional general learning spaces, as well as a flexible space designed to accommodate a range of creative learning opportunities, community functions and more. All the learning areas are spacious, colourful and light-filled, with a range of tables and seating furniture which was carefully selected to optimise student learning.

Whilst the naming of buildings/signage across the College is part of a bigger project (Campus Development Plan review) for everyone’s contribution, we thank a number of staff and students for assisting with the internal naming of our newest facility. As it was felt ‘classroom’ wasn’t the most descriptive word for the creative exploration and trial-and-error learning which occurs within ASC’s teaching and learning spaces, the word ‘studio’ was embraced.

The decision was made and endorsed by the students to name the studios in the new building after a natural world item that reflects Fibonacci numbers: Hurricane, Ammonite, Nautilus, Casuarina, Delphinus, Galaxy Phyllotaxis and Helianthus. The large multipurpose space on the ground floor is known as the Fibonacci Studio. Principal, Ms Belinda Provis (centre) with members of the Board and community

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
2003 - Students and staff pulling blackberry weed from around Bull Creek wetlands
At All Saints’ College we have a strong commitment to preserving the natural environment and promoting sustainability within our community. The College’s focus on environmental sustainability and conservation efforts began immediately after our foundation in 1981. Over the next two decades our students and staff formed environmental and tree-planting groups to work on a number of local projects, such as removing weeds in the local area, growing and planting trees, picking up rubbish, and writing guidelines for protecting the swamp in Brockman Estate.
2004 - Seedlings growing in the College’s Shadehouse
College staff were instrumental in promoting and encouraging student involvement in the early years, including College Principal, Mr Tony London (1987-2000), Science teacher, Ms Jane Brandenburg (1989-2000) and Head of Science, Mr Kent Williams (1990-2013). In the early 90s Ms Brandenburg’s Senior School Biology class worked with former parent, Professor Byron Lamont, to identify local plant species on the campus in the bush area. This site is now occupied by our Indoor Sports Centre. Around the same time an enthusiastic group of Year 12 students, supported by Ms Brandenburg and Mr Williams, planted trees provided by the City of Melville on the corner of Brockman Avenue and Karel Avenue. The rehabilitation of the Bull Creek wetlands, which runs parallel to the College oval, has always been a focus for our community’s ecological work. Year 8s germinated seeds and planted the trees at the creek as part of their curriculum in 2004, and the following year students in Year 10 eradicated weeds from the area and learnt about the history of the wetlands in their Personal Development Program.

In 2005 the College took its environmental responsibility one step further with the introduction of an Environment Captain role in the Senior School Student Council. It was also in this year that an official Environment Group was launched, with its main focus on continuing the maintenance and improvement of the Bull Creek wetlands. Initially consisting mostly of Year 12s, the group was led by staff members Ms Sue Cameron (Head of Library Services) and Mr Williams. Over the next six years the Environment Group expanded to encompass students from all year levels and staff across the College. Thanks to their tireless efforts, and with help from local businesses, the group removed most of the blackberry weed overtaking the area and replanted countless seeds germinated in the College’s Shadehouse. The wider community was also involved in caring for the wetlands through ‘busy bees’ organised by the Environment Group. Additional sustainable programs were also introduced at the College during this time, including the Year 10 ‘Helping Hands’ initiative held in Camp Week, allowing students to engage in a variety of environmental initiatives: the Year 10 Conservation Group, which maintained the remnant bushland on the College grounds (north east of the Indoor Sports Centre); the construction and monitoring of bat boxes installed at Bull Creek by the students; and the maintenance of two aquaponics processors, among many others. Our Junior School students and staff have also played a vital role in the College’s goal to be more environmentally responsible. They have regularly participated in Australia-wide events, including Clean-up Australia Day, Sustainability Week, National Tree Day and Earth Hour. They have also created and managed worm farms and even developed and maintained their own kitchen gardens. In 2011, the Junior School was
officially recognised as a ‘Waterwise School’ for its ongoing commitment to reducing water use. In 2010 Environment Captains were introduced in the Junior School to coordinate initiatives and encourage their peers to adopt more sustainable practices. This year the Captains have focused their attention on promoting ‘Waste Free Wednesday’, when students from Years 1–6 are asked to bring lunch with no packaging, which reduces litter and also encourages healthier eating.

A waste management program was successfully trialled in the Junior School last year. The program, organised by Veolia, a globally-leading company in environmental solutions, consists of separating rubbish into four different bins. The four waste bins are for general food waste, comingled recyclables, food scraps and paper/cardboard. The rollout of the Veolia waste system has been the focus for this year’s Senior School Environment Captain, Grace Fereday (Year 12). She was responsible for planning and completing a rubbish audit to identify where current bins are distributed and the areas which receive the most litter. It is her hope that by the end of this year recycling stations will be introduced across the Senior School.

Today the All Saints’ LEO Club (an affiliate of the Lions Clubs) continues the good work of its predecessor, the Environment Group. Established in July 2012, the community service LEO Club has maintained the College’s environmental responsibility through work which includes this year campus-wide paper recycling, the cleaning up of Bull Creek wetlands, fundraising and growing plants. The College, guided by our Strategic Plan (2014 – 2018), is committed to establishing environmental responsibility within our community, and we are grateful for the work of our past and present students, staff and wider the community for their dedication in achieving this goal.
