The Year
12 Drama students recently performed their
original shows as a
'swansong' drama performance for the course's final assessment.
The students were required to develop, draft, script and perform a fully realised solo or duo drama production: they had to evolve, investigate and research the subject, write a script, rehearse and refine the piece and design the appropriate theatrical devices (such as set, lighting, sound and music) to create an original piece of theatre for an audience - a challenging tasb, to say the least. Undaunted, this year's students developed some wonderful theatre around the lives of such diverse characters as Flora MacDonald, Myra Hindley, the Marx Brothers and Dora Marr, immortalised by Picasso as the Weeping Woman.
I was particularly pleased with the detailed research carried out by students this year, and by the creative shaping of the material to produce innovative theatre. Th.e pllOtographs reproduced here give a flavour of an evening which was enjoyed by everyone concerned.

Junior artists Tl"le Junior School students have been very creative in the art room all year, producing colourful and exciting artwork. Their enthusiasm and joy at being able to express themselves artistically make for a very lively classroom. The art programme is designed so that each year level experienc s as wide a range of media as possible. The students are able to build on their skills and knowledge of these media in areas such as drawing with pencils, pastels and chalks, painting with acrylic and watercolour, threads and textiles, sculpture, print-making, puppetand mask-making and ceramics. Many of the pieces shown here have also recently been on display at the annual College Art Exhibition, to the delight of students, their parents and the entire College community.

Stephen Bell-1992 leaver Stephen left All Saints' in 1992 and began studying journalism at Curtin University. Deciding that tl'1is wasn't tIle ideal career for him, he spent the next three years worbing in the pool industry, spending tim as both an assistant manager and a service technician before going on to acquire sales experience. Following a number of short-term jobs, he began worl~ as a service technician for Poolmart, then returned to Poolwise to manage their Padbury store. This eventually led to Stepben opening l'1is own pool sl'1op (The Pool Place) in 1996, which provides the means for him to study philosophy at Murdoch University in order to achieve a more balanced lifestyle. All those with pools and spas are welcome to visit The Pool Place at Parry Ave shops in Bull Creel~: you will receive a free gift witl'1 your initial purchase if you tell Stephen you saw this article in College Quarterly!
