Columba 1981 -1st Edition

COLLEGE CREST AND MOTTO The College Crest was designed by Mr. Graeme Quartly (Director of the Design and Display Department of the Anglican Department of Communication). It is a particularly pleasing design and is one which incorporates a number of symbols which are representative of the College's commitment to the intellectual, spiritual and moral development of its students.

The Symbols and Their Meaning The Dove is the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit and is used to remind us of God's power and presence in all things.

The Book is a symbol of academic learning.

The Cross is used to emphasise our Christian heritage.

The Bishop's Mitre, at the head of the crest, is symbolic of the authority of the Church.

The Motto The College Motto, "God gives the will and the power to achieve", was suggested by the Revd. Canon R. W. Edwards (Editor of the Anglican Messenger) and is derived from Philippians 2 : 13. It, as does the crest, emphasises the importance of God in our lives and the need to base our achievements upon the firm foundation provided by Christianity.

"Columba", the name of All Saints' College magazine, is the Latin word for dove. It is significant because it is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, a messenger of peace. It is for this reason that it was chosen as part of the College crest.

CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD As the Foundation Chairman of the Board of Management of All Saints' College I am pleased to write this foreword for the inaugural issue of the College magazine which will undoubtedly become a significant historical document in that it records the details of a m ultiplicity of events and activities which have occurred during the Foundation Year.

Since the Official Opening o f the College on Su nday 8th February, 1981, the members of th e Board of Managem ent , the Parents' and Friends' Society, the Staff and the Students h ave all worked very hard to ensure that the College completed a successful first year, and I t hank them sincerely for the time and effort that they have expended in achieving this outcome. Our success is exemplified by the demand for places, and in order to partially satisfy this demand the Board has decided to increase new admissions into Year 8 from a projected ninety to one hundred and twenty students per annum. It is also important to note, with appreciation, th e continuing financial assistance being given by the State and Federal Governments by way of per capita grants for recurrent expenditure as well as interest subsidies and grants for the ongoing building programme of the College. This financial assistance w~ll enable the College to build all of the essential facilities needed to support t he establishment o f an educational programme which will be sufficiently diverse to cater for the varying abilities, needs and interests of its students.

Th e teachers have withstood remarkably well the inevitable pressures of starting a new school, and I commend th em for their dedication and diligence in performing all of the necessary t asks which are normally shared by a much la rger staff. Their reward, 1 am sure, is in the k nowledge that they have been largely respo nsible for the development of exceptionally good standards of scholarship and behaviour.

Finally, I commend the students for their enthusiasti c participation in the variou s activities of the College and for their willingness to take adva ntage of the opportunity to be educated in a school which is attempting to nurture th eir d evelopment in a Christian environment.

EDITORIAL 1981 has been a challenging and rewarding year for both staff and students of All Saints' College. The fo undation issue of our College Magazine has now been launched, and like many "''first editions" , is quite modest in its content.

The choosing of its name was not easy, but after much careful deliberation, the name " Columba" was selected by a panel of judges. Its meaning, "dove", is quite significant, in that not only does it symbolise the Holy Spirit, but it is already a part of our College emblem.

I wish to thank those students, staff members and parents who have made contributions to the magazine and , in particular, the members of the Publications Sub-Committee of the St udent Council, who, in our rather hurried meetings, have given quite helpful suggestions.

Thanks are also due to Dr. Speed, whose help and advice in compiling this magazine has been invaluable and, finally, to Mr. Mike Garratt, who gave considerable time and patience to the photography.

I have not lost sight of t he fa ct that much of the format for fut ure issues will be determined by this year's efforts, but pro vision has been made for the inclusion of further sections as the College grows.

It is my hope that in years to come, t he magazine will continue to be a significant record of the various activities of the College and this this very first issue will hold an important place in its history .

THE PRINC IPAL'S ANNUAL RE PORT The opening of a new school is a momentous event and one which involves the active participation of many groups and individuals. It is therefo re appropriate to record my sincere appreciation of the positive support that the Staff of the College h as received fr om so many to ensure that our foundation has been a successful o ne.

The College is being considered by a number of parents as an al te rnative edu cational institution to other Independent and Government Schools, and it is an awareness of this which has helped to strengthen our resolve to establish a reputation for high academic an d behavioural standards , in a caring Ch ristian environment, as quickl y as our limited human and material resource s will allow. Our aims are laudable ones and only a sustained effort, by staff and students in particular, will re sult in the attainment of them. However, we have much to celebrate as our first twelve m onths of existence draws to a close , in that we can reflect upon the ye ar's activities with a justifiable sense of pride in the knowledge tha t we have done our best to lay a solid foundation which is to be the base for our future growth and d evelopment. I therefore urge all of y ou ; parents, students, staff and frien ds, to continue to give each other the support an d e ncouragement which is so very necessary if we are to establish firmly our c red ib ility.

The students at All Sain ts' College have , wi th fe w excep tions, bee n m ost app reciative o f the opportunities being afford ed them to develo p their abilities, and they have participated positively and enthusiastically in mo st spheres of school activity. T heir ge neral atti tude and standards of achievement and behaviour have rece ived favo u rable comment fr om a nu m ber of visitors to the College and this is very encouraging to those of us wh o have perhap s been "too close '' to the " work face" to make a relatively obj ective evaluation of the quality of the programme that we have implemented.

At the primary level the Ye ar 7 "Enrichment Class' ' has been a very successful innovation and the majority of the stud ents in the class have gained mu ch fro m an enrich ed programme. Mrs. William s is to be con. gratulated for her diligence and for her perceptive modifica tions to the curriculum in order to cater for the diversity of interests and abilities of the stu dent s in her " ex perime ntal " class. With ju st a fe w refinements, the enrichment programme will be continued nex t year.

At the secondary level, approximately eighty five perce nt of the Year 8 students have achieved at interm ediate and advanced levels in each of the four core subjects. This is a very encouraging result in tha t it augurs well for the future developmen t o f a "school to wo rk" tran sitio n progra m me as well as for the m ore traditional academic studie s at the upper secondary level. Ho wever , our de sire to enco urage the students at the College to ach ieve academic excelle nce sh ould no t blind us to the ne ed to institute, when warranted , special remedial fa cilities and progra m mes which a re designed to assist the low achleve r. No r should we ever forge t tha t we are co ncerned with the to tal developme nt , and not just the intellec tual develop me nt, of all studen ts. He nce, the re is a need to main ta in a well balanced curriculu m.

The curriculum at the College will become more d iverse in 198 2 wi th th e in tr odu ction o f an a lditional twent y one options, bu t I d o hope that we are n ot so naive as to think tha t the range of op ti ons being offe red is a valid in dica tor of the quality of our ove rall program me. I make no secre t of the fact tha t, as irnpor tant as options may be , it is my consi dered opin ion that their impor tan ce is directly proportional to the ex tent to which they co ntribute to the develo pme nt of literacy and nu me ra cy as well as to the social , ¡ emo tional and moral health of our stud ents.

6

In order to offset the "teach, test and fo rge t" syndrome which characterises the implementation of an Achievement Certificate programme in some schools, the Staff has emphasised, and will continue to emphasise, the need for students to revise essential concepts from previous work . End of term and end of year examinations will therefore play an increasingly importan t role in the cumulative assessment procedures adopted for measurin g and evaluating stu dent achievemen t. In this way students will be given credit for work done during the ye ar, as well as for their examination performance which is designed to encour age them to revise and to consolidate skill s and knowledge which are deemed to be of fundam ental importance.

During the year efforts have been made to broaden the educational experiences of the students by involving them in a variety of so called "extra cu rricular" activities and educational excursions. The "extra curr ricular" progranune has been surprisingly diverse fo r a small sch ool , and it has include d both sporting and cultural activities. I am sure that the parents an d stu dents are gra teful to those members of staff, and other adults, who were so kind as to give their time in the ru nning of these activities.

A major component of the cu rricul um in a denominational independent school should be a religious stu dies progranune which is designed to awaken and to nurture the moral and spiritual development of paren ts, staff and students. Our pa rticular app roach to this aspect of ou r role has been to integrate Religious Studie s with English, Social Studies and Science , and to involve students in a study of Human Relations which has as its core a Chris tian focus. The main in1pact of these parallel programmes has been at the student and staff levels, but it is hoped tha t parents will play an increasingly imp ortant role in the design and implementation of these complementary approaches as we continue to refine them.

Sporting and recreational ac tivities are al so a major component of our school programme and it was pleasing to note the enthusiastic participa tion of stu dents in the variety of activities which we re available during the year. The In terhouse Competiti on has included fou rteen activities, all of wh ich were very keenly contested, and it is my pleasure to congratula te the membe rs of Forrest and Murdoch Houses who were successful in winning the P & F Socie ty lnterhouse Com peti ti on Shield with a to tal of 94 points each.

Only one Interschool Competition was conducted during the year and this involved Ap plecross, Melville and Willetton Senior High Schools and ourselves in Swimming. We fin ished a close secon d to Applecross, with Narelle Austin being nominated as the Champion Girl. These were ve ry creditable performances and they had a significant in1pact in helping the students to identify themselves with their " ne w school".

Other Interschool activities ar.e being plan ned for 1982 and these will be expan ded gradually to include a variety of sporting and cultural activities as the enrolment at the College increases.

In regard to the participation of students in " external " activities the College entered three teams in the Canning Districts Net ball Association Competition an d the B2 Te am expe rienced success ir1 winning the Premiership in their division. It is my hope that we will continue to enter College teams in a varie ty of locally based competitive activities as evi dence of our desire to be part of the community that we seek to serve.

Al though it is a da ngerous prac tice to single out in dividuals fo r special mention , I feel that it wo uld be remiss of me not to mention some students for their ou tstand ing performance s during the ye ar .

Ian Osborne (7W) was awarded a Board of Management Entrance Scholar ship to All Sain ts' College.

Sarah Bee (7W) was award ed a Scholarship to Pe rth College, but has decided to remain at All Sairlts'.

Rebecca Gulvin (7W) , Peter Shipman (8P), John Tanner (8S), Elisabeth Jones (8S), an d Nicole Burton (8S) received award s for their entries to the National Mathematics Wee k Competitio n which was cond ucted by the Mathematics Association ofW.A. Richelle Varney (8W) received th e Fairest an d Best Award in the Canning Dist ric ts Netb all B2 Division Competition. Narelle Aus tin (8P) was placed th ird in the 1OOm Butterfly event in the State Swimming Championships and also repre sented the State in the National Swimming Championships. Cassandra Trinder (7W) was placed second and third in the State Li ttle Athle tics 1500 , and 800m even ts respectively.

Graeme Esslemont (8P) was selec ted to re present the State in the U l3 Ru gby team ..

To these students, and to the many others who have performe d well , my congratulations.

A Student Council was formed during the year and the Executive Committee consisted of: Chairman Secretary Treasurer Members

Deanne Haffner Nicole Burton Mark Van Brakel Sarah Bee Graeme Burton Helen Meehan Karl Perry Scott Ritchie

This committee has been responsible for the operation of five sub committees (finance, social, publications, community service, sport and recreation) each of which had a staff adviser whose task it was to help the students to establish an acceptable meeting format and to give them some guidance in making some difficult decisions. This initial structure seems to have worked well and will be refined each year in order to allow for greater student control at a level which is commensurate with their maturity. However, the foundation council has done a remarkably good job and I cbmmend them for their active support and for their willingness to contribute in significant ways to the running of the College.

The Staff is perhaps the most important element in the effective operation of a school, and it is my good fortune to have had the assistance of staff members who are not only dedicated to the ideals which are central to a denominational In de pendent school, but who are also diligent, loyal and enthusiastic. I cannot speak too highly of their efforts and I am pleased to report that most of the current members of staff will be at the College again in 1982 . Mesdames Debra Coombs, Vera Payne and Wendy Lugg will be leaving the College for various personal reasons and I take this opportunity to thank them for the work that they have done fo r the students du ring their all too brief stay with us. To compensate for these losses I welcome the following teache rs who have been app oin ted as full time members of staff in 1982.

Mr. John Bednall , Deputy Principal ; Mr. Bruce Groves, Coordinator for Mathematics and Computer Studies; Mrs. Le onie Kirke, Coordinator for Science and Health Education; Mr. Laurence Tassell, Coordinator for Social Studies; Mr. Wayne Ad ams , a teacher of Science, Mathematics and Physical Education; Mrs. Jan Weeda , Teacher/Librarian and teacher of French, Social Stu dies and Physical Education; and Mrs. Sheila Parker, a teacher of Home Economics. In ad dition a number of part-time appointments have been made and these include Mesdames Priscilla Broadbent who will be assisting with the Speech/Drama and Film Making option in Year 9 ; J oan Blakeway, who will teach Typing; Anna Ginandjar; who will teach Italian, Japanese and General Languages; and Mavis Prosser, who will teach Art/Craft and English.

I came to the College expecting.to rece ive the active support of parents. I have not been disappointed.

In fact, I am very imp ressed with the willingness of parents to help wherever and whenever they can. In particular I would like to say thankyou to the Executive Committee of the P & F Society, and its sub committees, for its sponsorship of many activities which were of direct benefit to the students.

The future of All Saints' College offers exciting possibilities for further development and refinement, and I have little doubt that it will become a school of which we may all feel justifiably proud, provided th~ ma ny participants maintain a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards its programme.

In conclusion, I take this opportunity t o express my gratitude to the many who so richly deserve recognition and commendation for the part that they have played in helping to get the College off to an excellent start. The Board of Management deserves a special word of thanks for their tireless efforts to provide for our needs as well as for some of our wants.

CHAPLAIN'S REPORT Because of my absence from school for the second term of 1981, I must say that I find some difficulty in writing this report . My absence was due to spending long service leave on a holiday visiting England, Wales and parts of Europe, and this was most enjoyable. However, when I say that having been back in Perth for 7 or 8 weeks, my wife and I have almost completely stopped thinking about our holiday, the reader will understand that I certainly haven't done much recent thinking about the time before the holiday, namely the first term of 19 81.

However, I shall try. So, what has been done ? Some worship; some teaching; some preparation of rna terials for use by teachers; some thinking about my job ; and some organisational things like song books and furniture for worship. More importantly, there has been getting to know members of staff and some students and parents. This means there is a task for me - to keep on doing more of these things and doing them better, especially to get to know more people by name and know something about them.

Not only is there a task for me. There are still some students not baptized and some not confirmed who need to think about such questions. And maybe there are some parents who are hoping the school will do certain things for their children (and I hope we will) but who also need to think about their own responsibilities from a Christian point of view.

In fact there is still plenty to be done by students, parents, staff and me to help us grow more fully as a Christian school. I hope we can come together and work together into the future. May God bless us all throughout the school.

Well! We have survived the year, after a tentative beginning of forming completely new frien dships. Most o f us came from different schools and the first few weeks were spent ge tting to know our teacher antl future classmates. Everyone was very quiet and well behaved at fir st, but it turne d out tha t there we re quite a fe w wolves in lamb's clothing.

Our classroom will be the library in 1982, but this year it has been full o f our art and w ritten expression, maths and english charts, Rubik cubes and certain people ' s mess.

We have had a most interesting year, with special enrichment classes in languages, science , industrial arts, home economics and speech. A substantial majority of the class has enjoye d these subjects- we kn ow we did a su-rvey.

In social studies we have covered some interesting topics inclu ding Immigrants in Australia, Water in Australia and Japan.

The two most popular languages have been Espe ra nto and Japanese, and in science we have all enjoyed the topics on light paths and camouflage.

During the year we have had many interesting excursions. In Term One we saw the ballet "Kal" performed by the State Ballet Company, and visited and A.B.C. Concert. We all thou ght the highlight of the term was the Nanga Bush Camp, even though Mrs. Williams didn't get much sleep.

Term Two included a most enjoyable trip to Alcoa at Pinjarra accompanied by quite a few parents. We banished Mr. Bee (the only father able to attend) to the back of the bus with all the high spirited boys.

Applecross High School invited us to their rehearsal of ''Salad Days", and on another occasion we visited the "Sunday Independent".

The Inaugural School Social was a Jot of fun with lots of lively dancing and scrumptious supper. ln Term Three w~ visited the wild life show at the Fremantle Town Hall and were most interested in the venomous snakes and the analysis of the stomach contents of the din go . Anothe r visit to a secor1d A. B.C. Concert caught Mrs. Williams having forty winks.

A talk and visit arranged by the Slow Learning ChiJclren's Group proved to be very thought provoking.

Our second social was a load of fun with every one in crazy rancy dress. We also visited Perth College to see their production of "Tom Sawyer".

Sarah Bee and Graeme Burton were elected :JS our rcrrcsent:Jtivcs on the Student Council Executive and they have been most responsible and willing workers.

We wish the incoming Year Seven class a happy and successful yea r in 1982 and we loo k forward to terrorizing the Year 8 tea ch ers.

Te rm One commme nced on Fe bruary I Oth, 198 1, with all studen ts be ing divided into fo rms. 8P, led bravely

by Mrs. Prescot t, was of course the most organ ised. We so m set tl ed down to the school rou tine (except for those \ ho co uldn' t manage such de tails as homewo rk no teb ooks, loc kers and takin g the right boo ks to the right lessons) an l go t to kn ow our new class mates.

It wasn't lo ng before we discovere d each othe r's little peculiar it ies eith r. Take Cathy Go ld smith and Ky lie Patte rso n. They ' re th e bes t of fr ien ds, but they don ' t tell each other the marks th ey receive. I wo n' t me nti on the peculiarit ies o f cer tai n ot her stuuents in th e cl ass.

8P also rece ive d its fa ir share of th e school comed ians. Two that sp ring to min d are J ohn Reso r and War ren Mor ris. I think our Drama lesso ns mu st be th e funn ies t in the school.

Our Se min ar periods are qu ite am using too . In some of our disc ussion s An drew Li tster gei6 so wo rked up that it s impo ssi ble to calm hi m down . Whe th er Mrs Prescott agree s with him or no t , doesn't seem to ma tter, but his vi ws certainly stimula te the discuss ions.

But we o f 8P t.lo have in tellioe nc e to equal 8S and 8W. Peter Shipman was a scholarship wmner, and several of us have rece iv ed awa rds for Academ ic Achievement an d Im proveme nt. We 're not too bad on the sp ortin ; side either. Na rcllc Austin is our champio n swimme r, and Graeme Esslem o nt and And rew Litster also exce lled themselves at swim min g.

We have had a very busy yea r stu dy ing su bjects that we re quite new to mos t of us - languages, music. speec h and home econom ics to mentio n a few. As we ll we have di scove red that social st udies c;Jn act ually be fun when it comes to map rea di ng, or using our ta lents constructi ng medieval cas tles.

As student s of great int ellige nce we don' t ask st up id q ues tio ns like 'Wha t el i l Copern icus inve nt ?' Nor do we believe tha t 'malaria is ca used by an isosce les mosq ui to ' as some stude nt s in o th er classes seem to claim .

8P has been suc cessful in mos t areas of ac tivit y. Finn rri end sh ips have bee n made and we have all enj oy ed ur first y ar at All Sain ts' College.

This year began with 8S being given the exciting prospect of Mr. Stapleton as form teacher. Even if he isn't much of a character, we soon found out that some of our class members are. Elisabeth Jones, for example, makes great contributions t o our Seminars. She believes that God is in the mind and that most of the discussions are a waste of time. Mr. Stapleton doesn't agree with Elisabeth, and seeing as he is running the Seminars, he usually gets his way.

Travis Butler (aiias Bjorn Borg- so he'd like us to think), is quite a speaker, Standing next to or near Travis is worse for your ears than a KISS concert.

Na tasha Gould and Mr. Stapleton speak on a different wavelength from the rest of the class and try to entertain us with their English accen ts.

Lisa Watson, alias Leonardo da Vinci (painter of the Mona Lisa) has fun in Social Studies where she has become famous for her artistic talent.

Those who play basketball or soccer will know that it is crucial to have Sanya Wood on your tean1. Sanya received her nickname Sherman from her tank-like antics on the battle field.

Along with famous artists, sportsmen and pommie migrants, 8S also has a detective agency led by Tanya Holmes and Lisa Watson. Many of our students have worked well in all activities. Christian James gained honours in his piano examination re cently. Vincent Lok has impressed everyone with his knowledge of the Martial Arts. Scott Ritchie has won the award for academic achievement both in term one and term two.

Many will remember the day of the Rubella injections when Lisa kept saying that she was going to faint, but no one took her seriously. Suddenly in Science she fell back in her chair and a lolly (whoops! against school rules) fell out of her mouth. Mrs. Kirke did a high jump over three rows of desks in an attempt to revive her. She lived!

Well as you can see, this year has been an interesting and exciting one. We have enjoyed each others company and built up some firm friendships. We can only wonder and look forward to what next year holds for us.

The world as seen through the eyes of him and me.

8W as a class. Well, as far as te achers are concerned , we're the worst. We h ave a reputation for not being able to keep quiet. Poor Mr. White . What a job. He takes 10 minutes each period to calm us down and the rest of it to keep us that way.

We are writing these notes in class and Mr. White is still trying.

"How dare you interrupt!"

"Billy McKenzje, out the fron t. We'll have quite a line up by the end of the period.

"Oh be quiet, you immature little chil dren ."

"Gene Shepherd, sit down" These are just a few lines in our daily routine.

At the camp (remember in fi rst tem1) yve didn't stop talking un til 11 .30 - despite valiant efforts of the teache rs.

I thin k the reason we are so mischievous as a class is that we have an inordinate number of naughty children. At the hea d of Dr. Speed's naugh tly list (we all know he has one) are about five 8W' s. The rest of the class are further down the list.

In the time it has taken to write this , the line of devian ts at the fr ont has multiplied to twenty-two (well, almost).

Personal Column During the year, the re have been many great romances rivalling that of the leads in "Gone With the Wind" Michelle Kenwor thy has flip ped over Karl Perry ; Lisa Watson has gone crazy over David Hedges {she mu st have caught it from David). She has written n otes, chased him, annoyed him and almost driven him to suicide.

There are, of course , others which if mentioned, would result in me hanging from m y braces from the fan.

In all, it's been a pret ty boring year, actually .

LiBRARY REPORT Like most infants, the Library has grown remarkably in its firs t twelve months. It began the year with empty shelves which are now stacked with over .a thousand books - ample evidence of a sturdy growth and the provision of a strong foundation for future expansion.

Included in the Foundation Collection is a sound reference section which contains a wide range of dictionaries (one of which is the brand new Australian MacQuarie Dictionary) and encyclopaedias such as the World Book, Australian, Joy of Knowledge and the newly arrived thirty volume Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The balance of the collection is comprised of a comprehensive variety of excellent matter encompassing the Arts, Sciences and Humanities and over two hundred fiction publications. In the area of teaching support, an adequate varie ty of media hardware and associated booking service is available to staff.

The development of the Library during 1981 should be a source of great satisfaction on the part of the staff who, with their expertise and dedication in their own particular subject areas have been able to provide such a high quality facility. This sense of satisfaction should be shared by the many mothers and friends who have given of their time and enthusiasm in order to process the foundation issue and make it available for loan so quickly.

Commendation is also in order fo r the support and understanding of the students. They have shown a great deal of cheerful patience in_accepting the inconveniences of the first year.

The College community can now look forward t o the second year in the Library with many added benefits.

There will be a highly qualified Teacher/ Librarian in charge and the use of the whole of what h as been the Year Seven classroom. This room h as the advantage of an almost northerly aspect which ensures that the summer sun climbs quickly over the eaves providing shad e for mo st of the day. Then in winter the sun lingers through the morning bringing warmth and a welcoming glow to the room which is enhanced by a cosy gas heater. There will be expansion in the audio -visual and periodical areas in addition to the Year Nine foun dation issue and the consolidation of the Years Seven and Eight collections. This together with the more spacious wo rk and leisure areas will provide a very comfortable interim environment for intellectual enjoyment and growth.

Best wishes.

CANTEEN REPORT The All Saints' College Canteen began operating on Tuesday, February lOth, 1981, and since then, it has continued to serve the needs of students and staff.

I would like to thank all of those mothers whose voluntary help has been invaluable and much appreciated through tout the year.

The canteen has also provided suppers and food for all College functions held during 1981.

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' REPORT The Parents' and Frit'nds' Executive Committee, consisting of twelve parents, was elected at the inaugural meeting of parents held on Monday, 17th November, 1980 in the Bull Creek Community Hall.

At the first meeting of the Executive Committee , which was held at the College on Tuesday, 2nd December, 1980, it was decided that the P. & F. Society would conduct most of its activities through six major subcommittees, each of which have been very active throughout the year.

Social: Chairperson -Jim Turner The Social sub-committee has conducted a number of social/recreational functions during the year and mo st of these have been very well attended . The basis aim of this sub~committee has been to provide an opportunity for parents to interact with each other and with members of the College Board and Staff.

Canteen: Chairperson- Geoff Baldock This pa rticular sub-committee ha s had a comparatively easy year due largely to the very efficient organisation instituted by the Canteen Organiser, Alison Hagan, and to the voluntary assistance given by a nu mber of mothers.

Site Development: Chairperson- Jim Elphick Due to the ''willing" participation of many parents, the Site Development sub-committee has completed a number of essential projects, including the renovation of the transportable classrooms, the installation of a lunch court area and cricket practice wickets, the erection of fences, the laying of concrete slab pathways and the clearing and planting of various areas throughout the College. Mr. Elphick has advised that there will be a host of similar activities in 1982 and those few parents who " missed out" in 1981 will have opportunities to do a "make up".

Ladies Forum: Chairperson- Jane Geary With the assistance of volunteer mothers once again, the Ladies Forum sub-committee got off to a very enthusiastic start. Funds were raised to provide seating in the covered lunch area and a Clothing Exchange for the purpose of handling outgrown secondhand uniforms, was established. Home Economic aprons made by the mothers will be available for sale in 1982. Thanks are due to those who regularly attended : meetings and gave assistance throughout the year.

Library: Chairperson - Sue Downs The cateloguing of books for the College Library was a long and exacting procedure undertaken by Mrs. Darryl Ja mes, with the help of others. By April the library was in full use and a further $3,000 grant had been received from the Schools' Commission for the purchase of more library resource materials.

Education: Chairperson -Sue Clarke The Education sub-committee surveyed parents in regard to what matters they perceived to be of educational significance and relevance to them. As a result of this survey, a number of "pre meeting" speakers were arranged to address parents about a whole range of issues, including the Achievement Certificate, Home Study, Optional and Co re Subjects, Religious Studies and Computers.

In addition to these brief addresses, a number of "mini courses" for parents were conducted during the year, and these included courses in Years 7 and 8 Mathematics, Sex Education, English/Social Studies, Understanding the Adolescent, and Human Relations. Most of these were very well attended and it is planned to conduct similar courses during J 982.

It was decided by the P. & F. Executive Committee that a raffle be run for the purpose of raising funds.

John Stacy volunteered his services for organizing this and the prizes were a Family Trip to Bali with $500 spending money, and a Christmas Hamper to the value of $250.

In September an Inaugural P. & F. Newsletter was compiled and circularised, which will be followed up by others in 19 82.

In summing up, it is obvious thai the P. & F. Executive Committee has been a keenly active one and to each of these members goes our sincere thanks fur a job well done.

Financially speaking, an income of approximately $4,650 was received Juring tJ1c year by way of General fees, Canteen, Social functions, Ladies Forum and donations. An amount of $4,000 has been budgeted for, for the cricket practice wickets which are almost complete, and $200 has been expended on stationery, postage and administration.

HOME ECONOMICS REVIEW -

NEEDLEWORK

The beginning of the year saw all students corrunence on a completely new subject, 'Home Economics'.

This was the beginning of an enjoyable, if somewhat frustrating period , of sewing. In the end we all managed to turn out a decent needle case, pillow case and an apron for use in our practical coo kery classes.

Needless to say. our initial efforts at sewing a straight line were quite erratic. I don't think anyone realised quite how hard this simple task would prove.

Due to the la ck of machines and our inability to work fast in the early stages, fe elings star ted to rise but despite this we all enjoyed our sewing cla sses.

Helen Meehan 8P.

COOKING As this school year nears an end I'm sure all the stu den ts will agree that Home Economics has been one of the more enjoyable subjects of the year. Right from the start with Pizza , everyone knew cooking was going to be tops.

Soon after starting we fo u nd that cleanline ss an d hygiene were of u tmost importance. After the fu n job of cooking the food, we had to wash up before ea t ing, and our stomachs knew it. We cooked such delicacies as Hamburgers, Pizza, R ock Cakes, Vege table Pie, Rissoles, Grilled Cauliflower and mu ch m ore.

We even had a little party at the conclu sion of term two.

Next year for those contin uing in Home Economic s, even m ore ex quisi te dishes will be coo ked and I envy the fut ure Year 8' s who still have Home Ec., to come.

STUDENT COUNCIL SOCIAL NOTES l)le student sub-committee for Social and Special events has worked very hard this year, to organise two very special evenings for year 7 anJ 8 students.

In second term the inaugural All Saints' Social was held at Penrhos College, and in third term a Fancy Dress Social was ;1eld at Wesley College.

The students flooded into the hall on both occasions; the disco music played, prizes were won, delicious suppers were demolished and by lla.m. tired but happy students returned home.

Both evenings were a great success thanks to the students who provided cabaret items, to the sub-committe Nicole Burton, Rebecca Gulvin, Matthew Edwards and Todd Grierson.

Thanks are also due to all teachers and parents who helped organise and attend the two functions.

ART/CRAFT Throughout second and third terms this year the Art and Craft Club has pr oved to very su ccessful. Every Thursday afternoon we have participated in learning skills such as drawing, pain ting, cl aywor!-. and plaster sculpture. Some Ilave covered extra activities such as pen portraits and preparina mate rials for subject assignments such as the recently constructed models for Social StuJ1es.

Mrs. Lugg has helped the club members to improve their art standa rds and tmaginat ive skills. She has also mtrod uced Ideas for home proj ects such as making Christrnas decorations and paintinas. lt has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all of us.

Graeme Esslemont 8P Neil Gibson 8W.

The Handicraft Club This has flo urished with a small group of members interested in pursuing craft activ ities. The main one which has proved most popular being Hobbytex, almost all members completing one or two pictures.

There has also been some interest in curve stitching or string craft and we are planning macram'e, weaving and soft toy making.

ART PRIZE The Intermediate prize for the 1981Art Competition has been awarded to Ellen Hickman for her outstanding painting of a 'Sasquatch' . It is appropriate that Ellen should win thls award, asher art work throughout the year has¡ been excellent.

Other Year 8 students whose artistic abilities deserve particular mention are Paige Turner, Graeme Essiemont, Mark Snooks, Rachel Taylor and Neil Gibson.

ALL SAIN TS ' COLLE GE CHOIR This year has proved to be a cha llen ge for the College Choir. With only a few short , but rigorous practices durin g the sunm1e r vacation we manage d to perform quite adeq uate ly at the Op ening Ceremony on Sunday, February 8th.

Durin o the year , des pite many difficul tie s. students have learned a numb er of sowrs and hym ns, some of which have been presented at asse mblies and Holy Com munion se rvices. In particul ar we have le arned special hymns fo r our visit to St Geo rge ' s Cathe dra l on Tuesday November 3rcl . to celebrate All Saints' Day. With practice tim es chanoed from Fri da y lunchtim es to Wednesday afte rnoon , th ere has been a noticeable improv ement in the attitude and perform:.1nce of students.

DRAMA CLUB About a dozen budding young performers joined Mrs. Williams and Mr. White at the beginning of the year to establish a Drama Club .

Obviously a new and developing college cannot provide extravagant facilities in its fu st. year, and newcomers to drama do not really need such facilities.

During the year we learned a lot of new exercises for loosening and relaxing the body and voice , and began developing an awareness of ourselves. Our sessions each Tuesday afternoon began with a few of these, and we went on to do a lot of improvisation, role-playing, dramatic reading and 'street theatre' techniques.

We saw a marvellous production of "On Our Selection" at the Playhouse and were fortunate enough to go on to the set after the show, where we spoke to a member of the set design team.

Our two productions, modest by comparison, are associated with the two great Christian festivals. At Easter we produced a short narrative drama on sacrifice, to emphasise what our Lord Jesus did for us.

On Speech Day at the end of the year, our production consisted of a semi-tableau presentation of the Annunciation to Mary and the birth of Jesus.

With more students and a specialist drama teacher in the College, next year should see further development of our group. By the time our Performing Arts centre is completed, we should be ready for some fust class performances.

SCIENCE CLUB NOTES An enthusiastic group of about twenty students form the nucleus of the Science Club which has been ably directed by Peter Shipman as Chairman with Elisabeth Jones providing valuable assistance as Secretary.

Activities have included visiting speakers, student speakers, films and visits. Later it is hoped that students will carry out their own mini-research projects when space and facilities allow it.

One day Elisabeth Jones brought part of her menagerie to show Clu b membe rs and talked about caring for her pets which include guinea. pigs and finches. On another occasion, Peter Shipman described how he and Chris J odrell established the school's tropical aquarium which so beautifully enhances th.e school foyer. (Waiting to see Dr. Speed is made less traumatic by the relaxing effects of those lovely fish!)

Visiting speakers from WAIT have included Dr. John de Laeter and Dr. Alan Jefferson. Dr. de Laeter gave a very interesting talk on astronomy illustrating it with some excellent slides. Dr. Jefferson gave a spectacular demonstration entitled "Chemistry is Fun". We think everyone especially liked this because of all the explosions.

In the holidays Mrs. Kirke took a few Science Club members toW Ali's Open Day where they looked at exhibits and demonstrations in the Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Medical Technology Departments.

Another visit attended by the majority of members (and interested mothe rs) was to the natural bush garden of Dr. Byron Lamont. Dr. Lamont is a lecturer in WAIT's Biology Department. The garden consisted of a bright array of colourful (and nectar-laden) flowers together with small and large shrubs all native to W.A. Dr. Lamont talked about t!te many interesting features of our native flora . One point that members were surprised to learn was that his garden is never watered.

Films we have seen include "My Friend, the Atom" and " Nature's Strangest Creatures".

The Science Club has made a good start and hopes to move on to bigger and better things next year.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HOUSE NAMES After considerable discussion, a meeting of student, parent and staff representatives reached a decision to name the College "houses" after well-known people who had made important contributions to the state of Western Australia. The winning entry was submitted by Catherine Elphick of 8W. Thus we have the names Forrest, Murdoch, O'Connor and Stirling, and below is a brief history of each of these men.

SIR JOHN FORREST was born in Bunbury, Western Australia in the year 1847.

In March 1869, Forrest was asked to lead an expedition to try to fi nd the party of the lost Gem1an explorer Ludwig Leichardt. They found no trace of the missing men, but during the following year Joh n Forrest crossed the southern portion of the continent from Per th to Adelaide and discovered the Eucla pastoral.

In 1874 John Forrest prepared an expedition to explore the Murchison and Gascoyne districts, and hiter published his book "Explorations in Australia''.

In 1883 Forrest was appointed Surveyor-General, and in 1890 he became Western Australia's firs t Premier.

Many great schemes were developed during Forrest's time in office , but the greatest was the construction of Fremantle Harbour.

SIR WALTER MURDOCH was born is Scotland in 1874, the fourteenth child of a Presbyterian minister. He migrated to Victoria in 1884 where he was educated at Scotch College and the University of Melbourne. Here he passed with first class honours and became a school teacher, ln 1903 he was appointed English lecturer at the University where he wrote two books "A Struggle for Freedom" and "A New Primer of English Literature " . In 1912 he was appointed Professor of English at the new University of W.A. He retired in 1936 and became University Chancellor from 1943 to 1947.

After many more famous books he became Australia's bestknown essayist. He was awarded the CBE in 1939 and KCMG in 1964. ¡Sir Walter Murdoch died in 1970 shortly after the announcement that W.A.'s second University would be named after him.

CHARLES YELVERTON O'CONNOR was born in ireland in 1843. He was educated at Waterford and Dublin University where he studied engineering. In 1865 he migrated to New Zea land and was appointed assistant engineer to the Canterbury Provincial Goverru11ent.

In 1891, O'Connor accepted the position as engineer-in-chief of Western Australia and one of his first tasks was the establishment of a harbour for Perth. The proj ec t took less than eight yea rs to complete.

O'Connor's most important work was the co nstruction of the pipeline fr om the Darl in g Range to Cool gardie, a distance o f more than 560 kil ome tres. He rece ived mu ch o pp osti on and criticism which is believed to have caused him such anguish that h e shot h imself at South Beach, F remantle in 190_ . His farewell note contained details to the completion of the Mundaring Wei r, which was co mpleted less than a year afte r his death.

A memorial to O' Connor in recognition of h is wo rk was built on the wh arf at Freman tle, and a bust of him erected at the Munda ring Weir museum.

SIR JAM ES STIRLING was b orn at Lanarkshire in Scot land in 179 1. He will be remem bere d for being the firs t governor of Wes tern Au stralia and his se ttlement of th e Swa n River Colony.

Stirling served in the Roy al Navy before he arrived in Australia in J une 1829 with h is first official part y and fir st se ttlers in the "Parmelia " He realized that ex ploratio n beyond the Swa n River was a necessity and by July the Canning, Hele na an d Collie Rive rs had be en explo red. ln 18 32, S tirl ing retu rned to England and rece ived a kn ighthood in recognition of his wo rk , despite ma ny difficulties. He was officially known as Governor Stirling and his name is perpe tuated in the Stirling Ranges, Stirlin g City Council , Stirling Highway and most recently of all, blu e fac tion at All Sain ts' College which will be k nown fo r ocnerations to co me, as S tirling House!

FORREST Congratulations Forrest for an overall success during the year. On the sporting field we did well in Volleyball and carne second to Murdoch in the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. This was a very pleasing result, as we relied more on teamwork than on individual champions to gain our points.

Our Basketball team has been quite successful too, inspite of the fact that Craig McSwan was unable to represent us. But our strength seems to be chiefly in the Athletic field. Stuart Redman achieved outstanding results as champion athlete, after having also previously won the Cross Country medal.

Forrest won the Athletics convincingly from all the other houses, thanks once again to a concerted team effort by all its members, Others who performed well in Athletics include Richelle Varney, Elizabeth Dodd, Matthew Power and of course many more who made our victory possible. A special mention should be given to Craig McSwan who not only won his 100 metres, but he did it with a broken collarbone. We are sorry that it had to be such an expensive victory .

Academically we have mixed ability, and shine in certain areas, ask Mrs Parker and Mrs. Lugg who both love us dearly! Except for a few , Forrest's ability at Languages ranges from average to very hopeless, but our debating team is first class! Luise Johnson can vouch for that.

Peter Shipman is another Forrest member who has excelled himself academically, by sharing first prize in his section of the Math-0-Quest.

Congratulations Peter!

In all, this year has seen most of us work hard and play hard, and our efforts certainly have not been in vain.

MURDOCH Well, so mu ch for the " Migh ty Pin kies'' this yea r. We wa lke d off with the Swimm in g trl)phy. did we ll in the Cross coun try , were robbed of th e Athletics tro phy and did pretty well in the othe r in t r house act ivities.

Mr. Staplet on has stuck wit h us through thick and thin . in our case more thick than thin . He made us co nfi de nt wh en we were gloomy, happy when we were sad an d ge ne rally spoiled all our fun. Although he is a tr ue " Pin ky" at hea rt , he was unable to cheer with us at the Athlet ic and Swimmi ng Ca rn ivals because he ha d the jo b of running them. It was then th at ou r seco nd-In-charge, Mrs. Luog too k ove r and did a marvello us job.

I couldn't possib ly write th ese notes without menti oning a fe w of ou r stars this year: Nare lle Aus tin who was ch ampio n girl in the In terhouse Swimming Carnival.

Graeme Esslemon t and Andrew Li tster who were cha mpion boy and runner-up cham pion boy respectiv ly at th e Swim ming Ca rniva l.

O'CONNOR O'Connor has proved to be worth its weight in gold this year. All the membe rs have shown a keen incentive to achieve good results and fully participate in all events. Mrs. Williams has pr odded and poked, persuaded and praised, and has been a real serge:.: mt major with leader-ball and tunnel-ball training.

Our perseverance is only matched by our namesa ke , so watch out you other h ouses!

This year our talents have gained us first place in tennis, netball and the quiz , and due to the fantas tic effort of all house members, we gained second place in a very exciting Athletics Carn ival.

Our thanks go to Mr. Stapleton for arranging so many interesting and competitive events in wh ich all students could participate. We must congratulate ou tstanding students Travis Butle r, Chris Jodrell, Scott Ritchie, Rebecca Gulvin, Michelle Kenwo rthy and Lisa Watson, toge ther with all those other house members who never gave up and so earned valuable points for O' Con nor.

Our captains Scott Ritchie and Sanya Wood, and vice-captains Rebecca Gulvin am.: Kristian Ayre have se t a fine example of leadership.

MAY THE VALUE OF GOLD FOREVER INCREASE

STIRLING In any competition there has to be someone who comes last. Being conscious of the feelings of others, we decided to save the other houses from humiliation and accept fourtl1 place ourselves. So, our first big achievement is in community service!

The next thing you notice about Stirling is our consistency. Not only did we come fourth in the swimming carnival, but in the athletics aswell. We believe that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well , and, for that reason, we specialise in fourth place!

Whilst we allow others to revel in glory of carnival success etc, we do no t carry this policy over into class activity. We have the reputation- and well earned- for being by far the best behave d, most enthusiastic and most talented option group in the College.

Our next forte' is in some specialist inter-house activities.

Take the volleyball. We did; every game. Undefeated.

Then there's debating. Morag's ability to talk certainly paid off. Apart from som e dubious adjudicating , we'd have won the second debate easily.

It's time now to mention sorne personal efforts. We have , in our ranks, some extremely capable and consistent individuals. In the swimming events, Sarah Bee, Jenny Hewitt, Mo rag McKinnon, Craig Larkin, T odd Grierson and Andrew Tompkin turned in very commendable efforts. They were supported by a number of good team mates. We were never short of an en trant for any event.

OFFICIALS Our girl Captain was Jenny Hewitt; a tale nted and popular leader. Vice Captain wa s Sarah Bee. Boy Capt ain was Craig Larkin and his vice (captain , of course) was Graeme Burton.

We take this opportunity to publicly than k Mr. White wh o , it is rumoured , assisted Craig Lar kin to come second in the cross Country. It is alleged th at he (Mr. White) allowed Craig to pass his check poin t , and then proceeded to attack all successive runn ers w ith the check point peo. Well done , Mr. White! Ellen Hickman also ran well in the crosscountry. We still do n't know if sh e was pursuing Craio, or he pursuing her. It didn't matter. The result was good tin1es by bo th .

In the athletics , our perfo rmers were T ommy , Ellen (long dis tance) Saral1, (overall) Mich elle McLean (running) To dd (overall) Andrew R oss (high jump) and the rest of the team were great suppo rte rs bo th in their individual event s and in their cheerin g. Congrat ulations, Stirlin g. Yo ur have great spirit. Re mem ber it matters n o t in the game of life that you win or lose-but th at you play .

INTERSCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL The major aim of our Interschool programme this year h as been to integrate and participate with some of the Goverrunent schools in our vicinity. With this in mind our first venture into the area of Interschool sport took place on Tuesday 24th March between 7.00p.m. and 9.30p.m. at the Len Shearer Aquatic Centre in Melville.

The participating schools in the Carnival were Applecross S.H.S., Melville S.H.S., Willetton S.H.S. and All Saints' College .

We were all a little worried by the weather leading up to the Carnival, but Tuesday was a perfect daywarm and slightly humid.

Right from the fust event which was won by Narelle Austin, All Saints' showed that they were a team to be reckoned with. During the evening al) of our swimmers participated keenly and particular mention must be made of; Narelle Austin who won six in dividual events and took off the Champion Girl trophy, Rebecca Gulvin who was second in one event and third in two, our girls and boys tube relay teams who fmished second, our boys and girls leaderball teams who fmished first and second re spectively, our ropepull relay team which won (who will ever forget the sight of John Tanner hurling through the water at break-neck speed to snatch victory from Applecross) and our girls medley and boys and girls free style relay teams who were victorious. All in all it was a marvellous team effort and even though we didn't win the Interschool Swimming Carnival Pennant (we were leading by one point after thirteen events) we finished a creditable second.

Fairest and Best trophies and the Pennant were awarded by Richard Aggiss, the Australian Hockey Coach , and I feel that if a trophy had been awarded for cheer-squads then the All Saints' cheer-squad would have narrowly beaten Applecross for the award.

It was a great evening and was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who participated.

INTERSCHOOL SWIMMING TEAM INTERHOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL After six weeks of training and sorting out teams at the Healthworld indoor swimming pool, we graduated on March 18th to the Wesley College Pool where we held our inaugural school interhouse swimming carnival.

It was an exciting afternoon and the keen competition was enjoyed by all. Many will remember the embarassed antics of Andrew Utster and Mr. Stapleton who both dived in (in different events) and foun d themselves trying to swim freestyle while pulling their bathers on. The dress-up relay was also a sight to behold with many swimmers leaving articles of clothing all over the pool bottom.

On the serious side it was the overall strength of the Murdoch team which led them to a comfortable win by the end of the afternoon. Murdoch House was fortunate to have the talents of Narelle Austin , Graeme Esslemont and Andrew Litster with the stro~g back l!P of Joanne Thomson and Michael Hansen.

Forrest who fmished second had good swimmers in Stuart Redman , Katie Clarke, Craig McSwan , Matthew Power and Todd Gardner.

O'Connor competitors who performed well were Re becca Gulvin, Michelle Ke nworthy and Lisa Watson.

Stirling lacked some of the top swimmers which the other houses had , h owever Ian Payne, Sarah Bee, Jenny Hewitt and Craig Larkin sw~m particularly well.

By the end of an enjoyable afternoon, the points appeared as follows: 1. MURDOCH 380pts.

3. O'CONNOR 2. FORREST 312pts.

4. STIRLING Champion Boy : Graeme Esslemont (Murdoch)

NETBALL At the beginning of the season the Number 1 team didn't appear to be too successful, but with patient coaching from Mrs. Varney, and the team's determination, we slowly improved.

Towards the end of the season we managed to make it into the semi-finals and then miraculously into the fm als.

Winning the finals qualified us for the Grand Final against Rossmoyne, and we were not too confident of our chances. It was a very hard game and after great excitement and tension we were fortunate enough to defeat them with the scores at 21 goals to 20.

The overall best player for our team was Richelle Varney and most im proved went to Jacqui Nicholls.

As a team we have played very well for our first year toge ther and it was a great thrili to win the trophy.

Narelle Austin 8P (Captain) TEAM 2 The first round of the season began in a very disappointing way for Number 2 team, as we only won a few games. In the second round things improved but not enough to qualify us for the finals.

Our team consisted of Elizabeth Dodd, Cathy Goldsmith, Rebe cca Gulvin, Peta Hagan, Tania Holmes, Michelle Kenworthy, Deonie McCann and Kylie Patterson.

The fa irest and best trophy was awarded to Deonie McCann and the coach's award went to Elizabeth Dodd. [would like to thank our coach Miss Speed for her assistance throughout the season.

Tania Holmes 8S (Captain)

TEAM 3 The netball season for team 3 began full of ambition and enthu sia sm. When we won our first game we were jubilant and perhaps thought we 'd made it, unaware that the te am we had defeated was the weakest team.

Anyway, the next few games were catastrophic, but Mrs. Varney pushed us onwards with words of encouragement.

In the second round we began to Jose badly, but we trudged on throu gh the winter rain, trying as hard as we could. Unfortunately every game was a loss. We weren't expecting to win the Premiership, but we were praying for a come-back. Unfortunately it didn't come.

We lost the season but we had fun and we really did try.

Elizabeth Jones 8S (Captain)

INTERHOUSE ATHLETICS CARNIVAL AJthough not the tlattest of tracks, the John Creaney Reserve served as the venue for the school's inaugural interh ouse a thle tic ca rnival.

In a very co mpact afternoon of events, com petitors from al l houses competed keenly in wea ther conditions which were sli o-htly oppressive, with high temp eratures and a high humidity.

After Murdoch house had led for the first eight events, the carnival steadily developed mt o a three-horse race between Forrest, O'Connor and Murdoch.

Fdrrest, the eventual winners of the carnival, by a comflntable margin had many fine competitors. Particular menti on should be made of Stuart Redman, Deanne Haffner, Eli za beth Dodd, Craig McSwan (who won his I OOm eve nt and finished it with a broken collar bone- a heroic ach.ievment) and R.ichelle Varney.

O' Connor who finished second had excellent competitors in Travis Butler, J ohn Resor, Susan Leslie.

Christopher Jodrell and Scott R.itchie.

Murdoch competitors who performed well were Cassandra Trinde r, Helen Meehan and David Hed ges.

Stirlin o who put in one hundred per cent effort all day had good com pe titors in Andrew Tompkin, Jenni fe r Hewitt, Barbara Wood and Todd Grierson.

By the end of an extremely hectic and tiring dav. the points appea red as follows: 1.

LITERARY PRIZE

BY MOONLIGHT The hills are desolate, The shadows are lurking in the pockets of mountains.

Nothing but stillness Nothing at all!

Suddenly Shadows dissolve while the stillness vanishes.

A light beam, not one, not two Thousands flash across the horizon.

Space craft by the millions flock But! on the right A single, solitary sentinel As it raises its right arm . .... .

A burst of colour and brightness Invades the asteroid.

It dies, slowly, slowly You can see the victorious movement in the hovering ships.

And as they slowly move The hills are desolate once more The shadows are lurking in the pockets of mountains.

Nothing but stillness Nothing at all ! .................. .

'Right,' Mrs. Williams said strictly, 'Penny and Sarah give one 'min tie' to each person.'

Sarah and Penny opened the two packets with tantalizing care.

'Wow; my mind whirred, 'the old girl's giving us something to eat and after all the bad comments she's been hearing from the other teachers'. A 'mintie' was placed in front of each person.

'Just look at the mintie,' Mrs. Williams said, 'smell it!'

We all bent over to smell the delicious lollie thinking how lucky we were to have such a nice teacher (nice enough anyway to give us a mintie each).

'In fact,' Mrs. Williams continued, 'I'll have one now.'

Still staring at our mintie, Mrs. Williams slowly dragged hers off its wrapper and popped it into her mouth.

She stood at the front of the classroom chewing graciously on the refreshing mint.

Thoughts raced through my head ...... .

'She's teasing us deliberately ... ah -mean! ' Then, wonder of wonders she allowed us to unwrap one side of the wrapper - then another.

She was really being kind until she told us to wrap it up again. She was still chewing hers!

Then at last we were permitted to sink our teeth into the gooey white mixture.

I expected a command like 'Spit it out and wrap it up' but none came. So I let it stick against the roof of my mouth and sucked it until it slowly dissolved down my throat.

1981 -YEAR OF THE DISABLED We break a leg or sprain an ankle yet we are never treated as an outcast because our difficulr y is temporary.

Is there a difference then between us and those we regard as disabled ?

Everyone looks different, but to live up to the expectations of many we must be within perfection in our movements and physical features.

PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED What's wrong with me ?

I just wear a different covering I walk in a different way And I cannot run or swim.

Can you paint with your mouth, play the piano With your toes or read braille ?

I'm even one up on you.

But why are people built so differently ?

Why do you put us in centres and institutions ?

If you were wearing bathers I would not stop you From entering a restaurant Yet you turn away if I am sitting in a chair in a furnit ure store.

Is it because of the wheels ?

Why does it make you turn away or not see ?

TRAPPED IN THE JAWS OF PERIL The waves rippled at my fingertips and a fountain of water rose as my feet beat against the deep blue sea.

I could see the faint outline of my surfboard lying on the beach with my towel slumped in a heap on top.

The sun made the day clear and warm and not a cloud dared to show itself.

I stopped to tread water for a while as I wondered what lay ten feet below me. I had a strange feeling that I was not alone. As I was a fair way out, nobody could hear me when I called hello to my friends on the beach. There was a clammy, cold feeling around me, which was unusual for the warm waters in these parts.

Something brushed my leg, and its coarse texture broke the skin so that it bled.

-Then l saw it- a fin rising from the water and coming at such a speed that I froze all over. It was so close now that I had no chance to dodge, and the teeth of its powerful jaws tore into my leg.

The pain was unbearable and I felt my body being dragged down by this dreadful creature. Suddenly, miraculously the pain stopped, and I was grabbed by two human hands. My last conscious thought was that help had arrived. I blacked out.

ANDREW, LORD OF YORK An dre w wasn't a noblem an, but a man of adventure. If he had his way he wouldn't be lord.

One day while shooting the arrow , Andrew was confronted b) an exhausted messenger. He brought news that Pope Urban the Second had o rdered a Crusade to repossess the Holy Land. Andrew jumped at the chance of being at war, and in the next few days his five hundred men, led by himself, were on the road to London.

After reaching London, they crossed the Channel and eventually arrived at Clermont to join the Crusade.

They marched fa r and wide, over mountains, through deser ts, until they sighted Constantinople, the elegant capital of the Byzantine empire. Then they pushed on to the Saracen city of Edessa. The walls crumbled and th ey overran the city .

Antioch fell in the same manner. The men were now in high hopes and they marched onwards to Damascus. Halfway betwe en Antioch and Damascus, seven hundred Saracens ambushed them and drove them to the ground. Andrew and five of his men escaped uninjured, only to be captured and ta ken prisoner. There they remained un till a ter lib era ted.

PERTH ON A MONDAY MORNING The pale blue sky is disturbed by an enormous jumbo jet.

The still waters of the Swan River are starting to glisten as the sun rises.

A trickle of morning worke rs' cars on the Narrows tunes in with the Ferry engines as they proceed from the jetty.

Street lights are off now an d fishing boats return from a hard night's work.

The sky is even paler and the temperature warmer, as joggers and swimmers gradually increase in number. Trucks pass them, in a hurry to make it to the markets on time. Early food retailers flock for the cheapest stock.

The animals at South Perth Zoo noisily clamour for their food , while the traffic becomes increasingly more congested.

Car horns and screeches of brakes sound, as 'Monday-itis' workers set out.

Footsteps clatter along the Mall and buses are full to the brim with early shoppers.

The London Court clock has chimed nine o'clock and Perth has began one more day.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF ALL SAINTS' COLLEGE On 31 May, 1980, the Premier of Western Australia, Sir Charles Court, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the establishment of All Saints' College and the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Revd. G. T. Sam bell, dedicated the site for the College in Ewing Avenue, Bull Creek. These two simple but important ceremonies were the culmination of the dedicated work of a number of people over some twenty years, directed towards the creating of a new Anglican coeducational school -in the southern suburbs of Perth. It was particularly pleasing to see so many men and women who had contributed in different ways in the formative stages of the planning of the College gather at the site to witness the occasion and to share in the real sense of achievement which the establishment of All Saints' College represents.

The impetus for the founding of the College came from the Church of England Schools' Trust, which, from the outset, saw the need to establish an Anglican school in the rapidly growing but relatively poorly served suburbs of Perth, south of the Swan River. The activities of the Trust have been reco rded in successive reports to Synod. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to acknowledge the fact that the very existence of All Saints' College today is directly attributable to the foresight and backing of the members of the Church of England Schools' Trust who appointed Mr. B. H. Durston as the Executive Officer of the College in July, 1979. Mr. Durston was largely responsible for the initial planning associated with the commencement of the College.

With the fmancial assistance of the Commonwealth and State Governments and the Church of England Schools' Trust, the first stage of construction of the College was completed in November, ~980 and this included teaching and practical arts buildings, student amenities, an administration block, covered ways and associated site developments including an amphitheatre-outdoor chapel, playing fields and a hardcourt area.

A Foundation Board of Management of twelve members was formed in October, 1980, under the chairmanship of Mr. Jack F. Howson , O.B.E., Mayor of the City of Melville.

Dr. N. E. Speed, who is a graduate of the Universities of Western Australia and Wisconsin and who has wide experience as a teacher and administrator in both State and Independent schools, was appointed Foundation Principal of the College in April, 198Q. Dr. Speed was formerly the Foundation Principal of the Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School, and with characteristic vigour and enthusiasm, he has set about the formidable task of establishing a new Anglican school ¡equal to the needs and challenges of the future.

The College Opening Ceremony was conducted on Sunday, 8th February, 1981, and over 1000 guests were present, including the 126 foundation students and their parents. His Exc~llency the Governor of Western Australia, Rear Admiral Sir Richard Trowbridge, K.C.V.O., K.St.J . unveiled a plaque to commemorate the occasion.
