Fete exceeds all expectations
. .. and the pony rides.
Young visitors enjoyed the merry-go-round . .. THE College's Fete '89 was an outstanding succes taking $80,000 resulting in a net profit somewhere between $50,000 and $60,000. Not only was the Fete successful, but the Auction managed to raise a further $7,000. October 21 turned out to be a beautiful day and there was no doubt that the large crowd which attended was delighted with the quality and large selection of stalls presented. It is difficult to know where to start when it comes to thanking those who helped make the Fete such a uccess. The motivating force was Mrs Monika Dunnet, a parent of former students of the College, who had worked tirelessly since 1988 to ensure all would be in order down to the finest detail. She enthused others to be involved and lead by example, taking part in many activities from sewing to jam making. All Saints is also indebted to the many parent who contributed time, donated goods or service and provided the back-up support which i 0 vital when holding uch a large event. The re ult was a Fete about which we could all be proud. The quality of products on sale, the fficient manner in which all stalls were run and the feeling of togetherness and achievement that prevailed throughout the day, were a credit to the organisers and the volunteers. As a result of the Fete '89's success, the Parents' and Friends' Society will donate $20,000 to help furnish the new Sambell Centre as well a providing money to the Foundation to assist in paying the loan which still remains on the Performing Arts' Centre, Stage I. The Sambell Centr is scheduled to be opened on February 18, 1990. Not only will that be a grand occasion, but it will provide the

opportunity for us to enjoy first hand ome of the fruits of our fund raising activities, both from Fet '89 and the Sambell Centre Appeal. It will be a chance to realise the end product of some of the College's dreams and vi ions.
WHAT ajoy it was to see the Fete on Saturday, October 21 in full swing. I had heard much about the legendary All aints' College Fete ever ince I took up my po ition as Principal in July 1987. It i rather awe-inspiring to see legend become reality before one's eyes, but that is what happened. It was a day made to order-lots of smiling vi itor and regulars at the College being entertained and prompted into purchase, or activity, on uch a fresh sunny day. It seemed that all the plans of the Fete co-ordinators, Mrs Monika Dunnett and Mr Kelvin
PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Bartholomeusz, and their hard-working committee, came into action in a tyle worthy of Swiss engineering. It was, in fact, clockwork in the style of All Saints' College. The target was achieved; the College community came together in a happy and mo t productive way and everyone eemed to have a fantastic time. Congratulations to all who w re involved! P.S. The legends about the Principal and Coconut Shies were also enlivened.
Mr A.H. LONDON
Sambell Centre to be opened in February THE culmination of years of hard work and generous giving will come to fruition with the opening of the Sambell Centre early in 1990. The Sarnbell Centre include two major building projects: the Music and Drama Centre and the College Chapel, and these will be officially opened on February 18, marking another significant tep in the College's progressive building plans. The building of the Music and Drama Centre (Stage 2) which includes a theatre with the capacity to seat 250 people and which has fir t class music facilitie , is well timed to meet the growth in theCollegeofall area of the Arts. The Chapel, which is a symbol of the role of
Christianity in the total cUlTiculum of the CoII ge, will be used every day of the week by both the College community and the Parish of Bull Creek/Bateman. This will include regular u e, including weekend worship by the Pari h. Additional facilities also include the large covered walkway which extend down to the front of the College. Thi will erve a a focal point and will also serve a a much needed covered area for students waiting for buses during the inclement weather of winter and the heat of summer. The Performing Arts Centre will also cater for the College's pastoral care programme, providing office space for all four Heads of
House as well as the College Chaplain and the Coun ellor. The uccess of this project ha only been made possible by the genero ity of the College family, which, in effect, includes the Parish. They have all supported the project and provided a financial base through th Sambell Centre Appeal. The Appeal will continue into 1990, when new parents to the 011 ge will, in turn, be asked to support thi magnificent project. The College extends an invitation to all members of our College family to th opening of the Sambell Centre to join this memorable occasion.

by side, each learning from the other. This rewarding relationship enabled tudents, especially those in the Upper School, to under tand their own work a little better through a heightened awarene of the creative proce es that all arti ts encounter, whether they are experienced or imply learning the first rudimentary tep . LaITy has clearly found working at All Saint' College a valuable experience. In order to maintain an on-going connection with the College, he has offered to pon or the purcha e of a work of art elected from the Annual Art exhibition each year. Thi award will upplement the existing Annual Arts Foundation Award pon ored by Jackson's Drawing Supplie . These work of art will b added to the All Saint ' College permanent collection. Next year Larry will be involved in a major one-man exhibition at the Agnew Gallery in London. Having gained an intimate insight into his work, we feel confident that his reputation will continue to grow during the coming years. We wish him every success in the future and hope it will not be too long before we can renew our association. - Keith Brewin
THlS year's Annual Art Exhibition featured the work of LaITy Mitchell, our first "Artist in Residence" at All Saints' College. Several painting and drawings which were completed during his re idency in Term 3 were hung alongside the work of final year tudent , together with a selection of works from each year group. Larry' involvement in this exhibition marked the end of a very ucce ful association with the College. All those who came into contact'with LaITY, students and parents alike, were able to observe at first hand the gradual development from initial drawings through to finished paintings, some of which were very large. Larry' willingness to explain the source of his ideas and to share in the progress and problems he encountered during the process of creation was enlightening. His patience in answering innumerable questions about his work must, at times, have slowed down his progress, but his understanding and sensitivity towards inquisitive tudents was a major contributing factor in creating an environment in which arti t and tudent could work harmoniously side

Elizabeth scores another win in science YEAR 10 student Elizabeth Dillon was r cently awarded several major prizes in the Science Talent Search, a Statewide competition run by the Science Teachers' Association of We ¡tern Au tralia. Elizabeth's research investigation "Paramecium and Magnetic Fields" wa awarded prize for the best female entry, first place in the Environmental Science Category, and second place overall. The re ult of much hard work, Elizabeth's entry was begun early in Fir tTerm in YearTen Science Enrichment. and continued in her own time in Term Two and Three. She te ted the effects of expo ure to an electromagnetic field on the population growth of Paramecium, a single-cellular aquatic micro-organism. This involved building a test apparatus, finding methods of measuring population growth, and carrying out a number of trials involving 'test' and 'control' samples. A solenoid, or air-core
electromagnet, was constructed from a length of plastic pipe, around which several layer of copper wire were wound. When an electric current is passed through this wire, an electromagnetic field is created. A colorimeter was used to measure population growth, by shining a light through each sample, and, with the aid ofa photoelectric cell, d termining how much passed through the sample. The greater the population, the greater the density of the sample, and the less light can pass through it. The result ofa number of trials using 50 Hertz alternating-current power, were that exposure had no measurable effect on the population growth. This experiment tested environmental concerns about the possible effect on humans of electromagnetic fields created by SEC power line, and household appliances such as electric blankets, hairdryers, blender, electric drills and vacuum cleaners.
Margaret a valuable contributor to the P&F Society MARGARET Armstrong joined the Parent ' and Friends' Society Executive atthe start of the 1989 year and has been a most valuable contributor in many area. Margaret has been responsible for the high-quality fete notices that have been produced at regular intervals throughout the year. Margaret and her husband ran have been associated with the College since the early foundation years as their son Michael wa one of the College's first Year 12 graduating tudents. Their daughter Felicity is in Year 8, so Margaret's association with the College should continue for many years. Margaret was born in Perth, and was educated at Mercedes College. She worked as a secretary for several years after leaving chool, and married at the age of 20. Margaret completed her T AE in L980 as a mature-age student and in 1981 tudied on a part-time basis at Murdoch for a General Studies degree.

Michael receIves inaugural Honours award FOR the fir t time in the history of All Saints' College, a student has been awarded Honours for his outstanding contribution to the school. Year 12 student, Michael Gurr ha twice been awarded Colour but was considered for Honours due to the exceptional ability and willingness he has demonstrated to enrich the cultural life of the College. Not only has Michael made contributions to the College as a solo piani t, he has provided the accompaniment to fellow musicians on many occasion and his encouragement and support to younger students ha seen them gain the confidence to become competent perfonners in their own right. Michael has been a member of the 1989 Student Council Executive and he co-chaired the Publications sub-committee responsible for the production of "Columba", the All Saints' Year-book. He has also been one of the two Forrest Hou e Captain this year.

Elaine tops the essay writers ALL Saints' College Year 9 tudent Elaine Pear on has been awarded the first prize in the Royal Commonwealth Society essay writing competition. Elaine has always enjoyed writing essays and her Engli h teacher, Mr John Kural, believes Elaine has tremendous talent and creative ability in Engli h.

Building a future with Lego-Robotics THE computer facilities at All Saints' College include Lego-Robotics equipment, which has provided an interesting part of the practical component of the Year 9 Information Processing unit. Also, in Term Two, Lego-Robotics has been offered as one of the choices available to clubs and societies, wh ich runs on Thursday afternoons. Unfortunately, the number of places offered in Lego-Robotics for clubs and societies was limited and some students were disappointed at not being able to participate. What is Lego-Robotics? It basically allows students to build Lego models, such as washing machines, ferris wheels, vehicles, conveyor belts and even a mechanical hand, which are all run by little motors. These motors are then connected, by wires, to acontrol board which is connected to a computer keyboard. A Lego software programme allows the students to programme their models to work in a variety of ways through the computer. A great deal of excitement has been generated in the group when models ar~ built and successfully programmed to run. Students from other groups in nearby classrooms find the Lego-Robotics group a great source of interest and often visit to see the new models that have been built. During Term One a group of girls successfully programmed a model washing machine to
work. Lights came on to indicate the machine was on and working. When the door was opened during the washing cycle the motor was programmed to stop. Students were able to see how everyday equipment works and can be computer controlled. Next year we hope to have more LegoRobotics equipment which will allow more students to participate in this exciting activity.
Former student wins Fashion Parade Award IN the four years since our first group of Year 12s graduated we have started to see many of them succeed in their chosen professions. John Tanner is an example of one of our students who has achieved success through hard work and the motivation to be the best in his field. At the Future Illusions Fashion Parade held at the Paladium on September 28, fourteen up and coming fashion designers showed their futuristic creations. First place went to John, who is now a second year student at Bentley Technical College. John's collection of stunning evening garments impressed well known fashion designers Anne Dreske-Somoff, Ruth Tarvytas and Toni Manolas, who judged the parade which was compered by Holly Wood. John is no stranger to the competitive art world, as he has previously studied Fine Arts at the Western Australian College of Advanced Education. John plans to continue working in the areas of women's and men's evening fashion wear and eventually hopes to have his own fashion label. His ability to become involved in all stages of the manufacturing process, from design through to pattern construction and final fitting, should stand John in good stead for the future. Since entering the field of fashion design, John has not had much time for other interests, although he believes that fashion design is not just a career, but a hobby and interest as well.

College adds to record run
John Tanner with the Future Illusions Award and two models wearing his creations. Since leaving the College John has also travelled to Europe and no doubt his experiences would have helped inspire some of his creations. John's talents in the area of Arts go back to when he was at the College in Years 11 and 12 and Studied TAE Art. For his as essment he had to produce seven outfits, including a fashion parade at the Annual Art Exhibition and the 1985 College Fete. John has a bright future ahead of him and it should only be a matter of time before some of us are wearing garments from the "Tanner" collection.

ALL Saints' College record in mathematics continues on its outstanding run, with the success of Year 8 student Bradley Huppatz in the Westpac Bank Mathematics Competition. Bradley won the competition's first prize of a $30 bank account which builds on his already impressive mathematics background, including a mathematics distinction last year. He attributes much of his success to the early work of his Deputy Principal at Bull Creek Primary School where he attended math extension classes from Year 6. Bradley hopes to continue studying in the areas of maths, physics, chemistry and technical drawing at All Saints, preparing himself for a career in engineering. During his spare time, Bradley enjoys model making, is a keen scout and an active sportsman.

All Saints to celebrate its tenth anniversary DOES 'T time fly! May 1980 seems like only yesterday, when the Most Reverend Geoffrey Sambell unveiled the plaque commemorating the establishment of the College at the Foundation Ceremony. Stage I was completed in November 1980 and the official opening of All Saints took place on February 8, 1981. Initial enrolments saw 32 year 7 and 88 year 8 students enter the College. In 1990 it will be five years since these students left and they are now well established in the work force. Today, there are 780 former All Saints students, n arly 300 of whom are life member of the Former Student ' A sociation. A number of major events are proposed to celebrate the tenth anniversary in 1990. The first of these will be the opening of the new Sambell Centre scheduled for February 18. This will ee the culmination of everal years of fundraising, planning and building to create
a first clas facility supporting a number of cu rricu I um areas. One of the highlight of the year is expected to be the Grand Ball planned for September, catering for all member of the College Family. A "Back to College" Day, and a number of activities associated with it, are also planned. There is no doubt that much has been achieved at All Saints in its first ten years. Our students have made outstanding achievements in all areas whether they be sporting, academic or cultural. Some would say that the quality of a school can be judged by the excellence of its former tudent . From whatever point is used to judge All Saint, we have much to be grateful for. Many prayer have been answered and targets achieved. There will be much to celebrate next year and we hope you will join with us in celebration of our first decade.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT
The dynamic study
Brian Thomas Hanson BASHF L Brian wa born in Yorkshire quite a while ago, just before Stonehenge wa completed. Hi inten iveuseoffacelotion and wrinkle cream hide nothing. Brian ha taught in the K and Australia and has been at All Saint since 1983. One of his most memorable moments was being part of the interview panel when a certain Yugoslav Social Studies Staff Member turned up half an hour late for his interview (he went to Corpus Chri ti by mi take). Other than teaching, Brian enjoys Anthony Radich' aerobics classes, buying cheap and nasty clothes, skiing, cricket at the WACA, riding his 550cc motorbike and getting away from the City. He is a keen Liverpool F C supporter and enjoy Channel 2 and Channel 28 TY programmes. In the future, Brian hopes to conquer Mt Everest and spend some time in rural Europe:,..
OCI L Studie i the tud of mankind li ing in communitie and it deal with the relationship between people and their environment. In our cla es at All Saint College we like to stress a participative approach to learning, one in which staff and student offer their knowledge and ideas on certain is ues for di cussion and debate. It is a dynamic subject and so it i necessary for interaction among the student in order for meaningful discussion to take place. At the lower secondary level our studies travel' e an enormous range of ubject matter, from the ancient world through to world environmental i ue and international co-operation and conflict. At pper Secondary level tudents elect their studie from World and Au tralian History since 1850, Au tralian and World Politics, Geographical Studies and Micro and Macroeconomics. The Social Studies department contains an intere ting blend of youth and experience, diverse cultural backgrounds and a sound mix of conservatism and radicalism. However, above all it i a department of dedicated teachers who care for the College, each other and the tudent with whom they have contact. This dedication
has been rewarded wi th three of the department being selected to head the new pastoral care programme within the college. A well as the responsibilities of classroom teaching, the members of the Social Studies Department play a vital role in ensuring that a student' education at the College involves being exposed to a wide range of cultural, sporting and self-extension opportunities. With
this in mind, department members have organised and supported a diverse list of extra-curricular activitie , including Secondary Education Authority Committees, T.E.E. marking, Western Australian Debating League and Au tralian Heads ofIndependent Schools Debating teams, the Mobil Oil/Curtin University "Managing the Au tralian Economy" Game, the Australian Stock Exchange Share Game, the
Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, the Young Achiever Award, the College work experience programme for year 10 and 11 tudent, the co-ordination of the College camping programme, organising and overseeing the College Captain elections and Student Executive elections, running aerobics classes, involvement in College productions, helping with the peer support programme, organising calligraphy for college pre entations, running outdoor education camps, being involved in the Staff choir and College hymn singing, and con iderable involvement in the Staff As ociation, the Independent Schools Salaried Officer A ociation and the Indu trial Affairs Committee of the College. The Social Studie Department is an acti e and involved department acro s the spectrum of College life. The main purpose of indicating some of the range of College activities with which the Social Studies Department is involved i to indicate clearly that the teacher's job doe not end in the classroom. It is our belief that teaching is a vocation that involve the need for considerable expertise in a wide variety of areas.
A Y similarity between Mark and a certain fawlty restaurant owner are definitely deliberate. Del' Fiihrer of the Department gave up a long time ago any aspirations of leadership and became a cowering wimp in the hands of hi colleague - their wi h is his command. Mark, like Brian Han on, add a touch of colonial grandeur and eloquence to an otherwise barren Department - both being Briti h by birth. Mark wa educated in the K, and at Kent Street and the niversity of We tern Au tralia. He ha taught at the Harvey Agricultural Senior High School, Newton Moore and the Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School. A foundation memberof All Saints' College, Mark has a wide range of interests including his wife, all types of music, the theatre, all sports, gardening and renovating. His future ambitions include controlling his department, travelling, and ettling in the outh-west. He would also lik a couple of children to "keep him in line".

David Gerald Taylor D.T as he is affectionately known - his other nicknames are unprintable - ha been a taffmemberatAII Saint' College ince 1983. Whilstmostofhisteachingfocu e uponUpper Secondary History and Economic, it i the latter that he has come to enjoy the most. David's hobbies include buying houses, renovating houses, and elling houses. A well as this, he is partial to fine food and fine wine. David's main dream is to one day own a car bigger and better than those driven by the Year 12s, and to succeed Paul Keating as the Federal Treasurer. By doing this he can use hi economic expertise to rewrite the textbooks incorporating Taylorist philosophy. Another of David's ambitions is to actually get at least one student to be scared of him.
All in all Marilyn is a well-respected member of the Department of unusual accent.
Mark John Stapleton
MARILYN has been a regular one class/ year Social Studies teacher for some time now. It i great to have on-board the A sistant Principal Curriculum to advi e us all on correct teaching trategy and programming techniques. Marilyn enjoy teaching Social Studie becau e it i 0 relevant to life. Marilyn regularly practices her Wisconsin accent in front of a mirror. You would think that after twenty-five years in We tern Australia she could at least talk like us. Marilyn has a degree in P ychology which comes in handy when analysing the personal problems of the department. Her current interests include reading books, learning to play the recorder, attempting aerobics, and the Staff Choir; and her future ambition include cutting down on coffee, pending more time at her holiday house in Dawe ville and keeping a journal of elf-reflection.

THE Pyker, Grandma or Daffie Duck as she i affectionately known, joined the staff of the College in the middle of 1988 while Anthony Radich was overseas. She claims to be the least zany of the Social Studies Department, but all other members of the Department refute thi vehemently. Daphne actually aw action during The Crimean War where he erved along ide Florence ightingale in the ur ing Corp . During her world travel he ha climbed a palm tree (rumour has it that it had actually blown over during a storm), ridden a urfboard, had a pectacular bicycle accident (which caused considerable damage to the pu h-bike), and flown through the Grand anyon in a light plane.

GRETA 's plan to go to the Munich Olympics as a member of the Australian Ballet First XI were shelved when Eric Speed offered her a position on the Foundation Staff of the Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School.
USA was a foundation student at All Saints' College where she played a very active role in a wide range of College activities.
She enjoyed a great variety of teaching and learning experiences in Bunbury, and was active in the Repertory Club, the Musical Comedy Group, played netball, volleyball and pennant quash. She rode a motorbike and drove a Yolk wagon (not at the same time) between Bunbury and Perth ninety- even times during twelve years at B.C.G.S.
Daphne has three adult children and four 'perfect' grand-children.
Thi cricket fan, gardening gnome, Francophile, Summer-lover ha been at All Saints since 1984. She i a keen traveller (in space and time), enjoys watching good films, loves walking with Nero and doesn't have a boyfriend called Frank.
Her hobbies include re earching laundries, taking photograph of her grand-children, and ke ping the Social Studie 0 partm nt in line.
Ambitions, yet to be reali ed, include cruising down the ile, eeing a platypus in the wild and watching an Australia versus West Indie Te t Series in the Caribbean.
She is the first former student to return to the College in a teaching capacity, which has led to some confusion as she has on occasion actually worn her old College uniforn1. Yes it still fits - just! Her legendary creative map drawing kill, when in Year 8 she made a map ofItaly actually look more like Au tralia, have held her in good stead for her Social Studie classe . Lisa i currently completing her Bachelor of Education through the Western Australian College of Advanced Education. Her interests, outside teaching, include aerobics, tennis and riding her bicycle, all areas with the fundamental aim of allowing her to keep fitting into her College uniform. Lisa's ambitions include getting married, having children, and then po sibly having more children, and if time permit

Anthony Nicholas Radich Or Speed couldn't have imagined his good fortune at gaining the service of this Croation Refugee in 1985, and since that fateful day many comments have been pas ed regarding Anthony's lack of dress sense, such a being called Douglas Bader. .."Are those hort your, or was your dad a bomber pilot in the RAF?" As a tu dent at Hamilton Hill Senior High School, Anthony wa a keen member of the chool's rowing team, football team, croquet club, basketball first XI and cro s-country last XL He excelled in all of these, de pite his 110 kg endomorphic stature. Other than teaching, Anthony i heavily involved with the highly uccessful Lado-Dalmatinac Folkloric Ensemble where he is both a performer and Artistic Director. Anthony's ambitions are: L) To get married and not necessarily to a girl with a dowry of 15 goat - 10 will do, 2) to have six children, 3) to climb the spire of the new Chapel and 4) to dev lop D.T.' skill in teaching Economics.
DEBATING
Many students and staff argue the point
e ~
INTERHOUSE and interschool debating have played a most important role in the extra-curricular programme of a large number of students and staff. We have been involved in many competitions including the State Primary Schools Debating Competition, which we won in 1986, the Western Australian Debating League Competition where we have on several occasions reached the semi-finals (We were narrowly defeated in the luniorGrand Finals in 1984) and the Australian Heads ofIndependent Schools Association Debating Competition, where we were victorious in winning the Year 9/10 Division this year. College student Elaine Gibson was selected as the reserve for the State team in 1986. We don't measure our success, or otherwise, by the number of competitions we win.The tremendous success of debating at all Saints is much more tangible when we look at the manner in which those competing gain self-confidence and the ability to structure and present a logical case to the audience of appreciative parents and friends. It is intere ting to note the correlation between those involved in debating and those in student executive positions. Debating is an activity enjoyed by many, and it is pleasing to know we have developed a reputation as a fine debating College, as evidenced by the fact that All Saints was approached to organise and run the A.H.I.S.A. Debating Competition this year. While many schools struggle to find staff interested in helping with debating, we have had a surplus of keen and dedicated staff willing to give up their lunch times to help students in their preparation. They also give up many evenings to attend and encourage their teams. I would like to express a special thanks to David Taylor, Greta C1eghorn, Luisa Maio, Marilyn Knox, Brian Hanson, Suzanne Dvorak, Lisa Watson and Daphne Pyke, as well as to the parents of the debaters, for their encouragement and transportation.

Daniel selected for science summer school YEAR 11 student, Daniel Fick, has been selected to participate in the CRA National Science Summer School in Canbena. Selection to the Summer School is most competitive but Daniel certainly made the grade, becoming one of the 262 students chosen from more than 2,200 high schools across Australia. The two-week long Summer School allows prospective young scientists to work in laboratories with qualified scientists to discover first-hand what a career in science would be like.
1989 W.A.D.L. A.H.I.S.A. Debating competitors and staff.
As much as possible, the students work with scientists trained in the disciplines they would most like to pursue themselves. Not only do the students have the opportunity to meet with qualified scientists, but also to form friendships with their peers who have similar interests and ambitions - something that is not always possible in one's own school. To be eligible to attend the Summer School, the student must be a top year I I science student, possess the motivation and communication skills to become a good scientist and also intend to pursue a career in cience. The students are selected by more than 1,050 Rotary Clubs across Australia. Rotary along with the Australian National University, the Canberra College of Advanced Education and the CSIRO make the Summer School possible. CRA Ltd are a major sponsor of the summer school, offering cash grants to cover travel and administration costs.

1989 Year 12s leave for the last time EACH year at this time, a new group of Year 12 tand at the same crossroads, most of them anxious to leave the con traint and demand of chool to ta te the freedom and new e periences beyond. It i a time for reflection, a time for anticipation, a time of adne ,yet a time of joy. Each student leave with their own pecial memorie and their hopes. We would like them to think fondly of All Saints and we hope they keep in touch. What does the College feel about them? Speaking per onally, this group of Year 12s hold pecial significance for me. I took them on as my year group when they arrived in February 1985 as 120 fairly timid Year 8 boys and girl. Much has changed since then. Their timidity gone, we now have a group of many fine young men and women. ~ w months ago, many u enjoyed the production "Joseph and Hi mazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", staged after months of hard work. On the Year 12's last day, the College community wa treated to" 11 Saint' College and Their Amazing Technicolor Year 12s". w 11 orche trated gathering of the whole year group overwhelmed us with a riotofcolour in tyle of the sixties. preading flowers and rose petals in their tracks and leaving a trail of pungent incense, they vi ited all parts of the College with their me sage of peace and goodwill. Thi gentle yet powerful gesture ended with the inging of the Coli ge hymn and ome per onal remini cence. It wa moving and impre ive. Often maligned in the pa t, this group have fully vindicated them elves with their actions. From a different perspective the 1989 Year 12 can be seen as a technicolour group. They are united but they are very diver e in their per onalities, their talents and their achievement .

YEAR 11 STUDENTS HAVE HEADS FOR BUSINESS
Bindi Fenn and Simone Brand with the company award.
Part of the production process.
FYAT operates into maiden black IN today's hurly burly world of busine , even the best entrepreneurs can fail to make a profit, but for 15 Year 11 All Saints' students, success has resulted from their first ever commercial venture. They formed a company known as FYAT Enterprises Ltd and in the first six months of operation recorded a net profit of $72.52, a return on investment of 8.4 per cent. The students were participating in the Young Achievers Programme designed to introduce them to the world of business, both in theory and in practice. While the FYAT Directors could turn to advisers from AMP and the College when they needed assistance, the daily operating of the company was in their hands. FYAT Managing Director, Bindi Fenn said the hardest step in establishing FYAT was the production of goods, with very little capital, little time and inexperienced students running the show. Despite these obstacles, the students were able to create products that were commercially viable. They tossed around a number of ideas from cat scratch boards to computer mouse pad before settling on wooden money boxes and bulk T-shirt printing. They were required to submit a product for approval from their advisers and while the money-boxes were accepted, initially the Tshirt proposal was rejected. The students set about raising capital to produce the money-boxes. They managed to raise $866 dollars through the selling of 433 shares. Their first real opportunity to sell the produce came when all the Perth Young Achiever Award companies conducted a sale in ide the Forrest Chase Centre. The students learnt some valuable lessons at this sale. They discovered that their moneyboxes were overpriced and during the course of the day's trading had to review their pricing policy and drop their price to a more realistic market value. Although disappointed with their stall's takings, the FYAT Director did not doom the company to failure.

Instead, the students bounced back and readjusted their bulk T-shirt printing proposal, this time having it accepted as a viable commercial prospect. At this stage they undertook a very strategic marketing move. The FYAT staff and Directors wore T-shirts which showed the quality of printing prospective buyers could expect if they placed an order with FYA T. The T-shirts were a success, selling for a very competitive $9.00. FYAT attracted business from such firms as the Professional Real Estate Office in East Fremantle and the Bower Realty Company.

When the company wound up after six months the shareholders who had shown faith in these students' abilities, were rewarded. They recorded a dividend 14 cents per share. FYAT, through the Young Achievers Progamme was a unique learning experience for these students. ot only did they discover they had the ability to create a viable business but they learned the meaning of team work and cooperation.

Adam's dedication pays off with selection for WA IT has been a year to remember for Year 11 All Saints' College student Adam Arnold on the hockey arena. His dedication to the sport gained him election for Western Australia in the nder 16 State Schoolboys Champion hip in August. He made a credible effort in the team helping it to a third placing in the championship. Adam was selected for the state side following his brilliant performance in the As ociated Catholic Colleges Hockey team where he played along-side fellow All Saints tudent, Matthew Tompkin. Their team went through

the competition undefeated. Adam plays hockey for the Willetton Hockey Club u ually in the Under 17 A Grade but did play in ome Senior Men' A Grade matches thi year. Love of hockey seems to run in the family. Adam's sister, Gemma, a year 10 student at the College, al 0 plays and his father Barry is the President of the Willetton Hockey Club. But hockey isn't Adam's only interest. He is also a successful life-saver, where he ha been awarded the bronze medallion, a keen sailor and a member of the College band.
SPORT AND RECREATION Set to eat up the dirt: riders take-off on another race at Wanneroo.
Burke Brothers set the track alight THOSE involved in junior motorcross racing are becoming increasingly aware of the talent of two All Saints' student, David and Michael Burke. David, a year 8 student, has won the B Grade Junior Supercross competition for riders twelve years and over in the 80cc divi ion. Younger brother Michael, a year 6 student, received a very credible third place in his first competitive upercro s event, riding in the 60cc category. The Burke brothers have been member of th Coastal Park Motorcycle Club for the past three years, but have only recently become involved in competitive racing. The brothers own their own motorcro s bike and are responsible for their maintenance. Con equently they have learnt much about the mechanics of motorcycles while al 0 gaining invaluable riding skills.
Raring to go: Michael Burke, a Year 6 student.
David and Michael took up motorcross racing after convincing their parents, Robert and Delores Burke, that competitive bike riding wa no more dangerous than any other sport if the correct safety equipment wa u ed, and the racing carried out under the guidance of experienced adults. Robert and Delores admit to often having their heart in their mouth when watching their boy take on some of the dare-devil jumps. However they upport David and Michael 100 per cent in their chosen port and are confident that the high safety tandard a sociated with motorcro s will be maintained.
