CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD

It is understandable that in the formative stages of the development of All Saints' College a great deal of attention must be paid to financial management and the construction of buildings. New facilities must be ready to meet the growth in student pumbers and the increasing specialization of the curriculum as the College moves into the senior secondary years, and this costs money. We are naturally proud of the achievements of the College and the excellent facilities which have been provided. However, expensive buildings of themselves do not guarantee good education, and it is therefore important that we acknowledge the fine work being done by the Staff at All Saints'. It is also important to exhort all students to take full advantage of the opportunities for personal development which the College offers. All Saints' College is developing into a school which offers an outstanding educational programme; academic, cultural, moral, social and physical. As an Anglican school a Christian ethic permeates the daily activities of the College. The richness and diversity of the educational programme of the College is reflected in the contents of this issue of COLUMBA. Everyone associated with the College will derive a great deal of pleasure from this comprehensive record of the College's activities for 1983. My best wishes to all the readers of this magazine for a restful and happy holiday.

J.F. HOWSON, O.B.E. Chairman of the Board of Management.

COLLEGE CREST AND MOTTO The College Crest was designed by Mr. Graeme Ouartly (JlrCctor or the Design and Display Department of the Anglican Department of Communication). It is a particularly pleasing design and is one wtlJch incorporates a numbcr or symbols whjch arc 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 Spuit and power and presence in all things.

used to rcmind us of God's

The Book is a symbol of academIC learning. The Cross is used to emphasise our Cllfistian 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 powel 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 flrlll foundation provided by Christianity.

the theme of Unity - being as ONE. This should not only apply to Christianity, but should extend through our College and into the Community. To grow from year to year in intellectual, physical and spiritual achievement, should foster a feeling of one-ne ss and pride.

In our present stage of development we can also see the resul ts of many inllovative ideas introduced by Staff and Student Council Members. and it is pleasing that so many students are involved 111 eXlra-cul'flcular actIvities.

I am sure that many of us felt the bond of unity as Western Australians, in the recent America's Cup victory, and I am equally sure that this feeling needs to be strong within our College. This, above all, should be the achievement for which we strive.

In the meantime we at All Saints' can be well satisfied with the standard of our educational achievements. The Year 7 srudents provide an excellent example of this standard and a number of visitors to the College have been most impressed with the exemplary work being produced by them. The students at the lower secondary level (Years 8 10) also have reason to be proud of their high level of achievements and are to be commended for their enthusi astic participation in the various academic, cultural and sporting activities of the College. There have been some outstanding performances during the year and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to congratulate those students who have been given awards and prizes in recognition of these achievements. It also gives me pleasure to commend the many who did not receive awards, for their excellent atti tude and for their postive approach to the many activities with which they are involved.

THE PRINCIPAL'S ANNUAL REPORT

When asked by many of my associates if I am satisfied with the development of All Saints' College during its first three years of existence they seem somewhat surprised when I answer them by saying how impressed I am with the high level of esprit de corps within the College rather than how well the bui.lding programme is going or how high the enrolment demand is for entry. As important as these latter two aspects are, for me, the strong sense of belonging that permeates the school, together with the sense of pride which many members of our College comm unity feel, are the most outstanding features of All Saints' and ones which I hope we will continue to nurture and cherish.

A number of factors have contributed to the refinements that have occurred in the total curriculum of the College; the completion of Stage 1Il of the buildings, the construction of the Performing Arts Centre and the appointment of eight new staff members, being perhaps the most important of these. However, particular aspects deserve further comment. The provision of a permanent library facility has permitted the library staff to display both print and non print materials in order to encourage bl'Owsing, while the increased floor space has enabled more class use of the library. The incorporation of video equipment has also re sulted in a far more efficient recording and viewing system.

Another question which is frequently asked of me is "Why do parents consider All Saints' College to be an attractive alternative to other forms of education?" I believe that the answer to this question is that we are developing a pro gramme which focusses upon the pastoral care of our students and which is committed to the total development of the individual rather than to just one aspect of that development. A school which allows itself to become obsessed with the mere transmission of informatIOn or with the cognitive development of its students is in danger of ignoring those affective elements of the human personality which are so vital to the individual. This point of view does not deny the importance of academic excellence nor does it deny the need for a strong value framework as a core for our educational programme. It does, however, suggest that schools need to encourage students to develop a whole range of "life skills" in order that they are better equipped when they leave the relatively cloistered environments of home and school, to cope with the harsh reality of living in a rapidly changing social mileau. The awareness of this need has promp ted us to develop a "Life Skills" programme in which all students will be involved at some stage during their secondary level of schooling.

The opening of the Performing Arts Centre together with the appointment of specialising Physical Education staff has benefited the P.E.(Sport programme in that a wider range of activities, including Outdoor Education can now be offered. Heavy bookings for use of the P.A. Centre demonstrate the usefulness of this facility and the P & F Society are to be commended for their foresight in initiat ing and supporting the Building Fund for its construction. In excess of $20,000 was spent at the commencement of 191\3 to provide six miero-compu ters and associated equip ment to enable the College to offer courses in Compu ter Education, but this area of study has proven to be so popu lar that a much larger facility with fifteen micro-computers has been incurporated into the Upper Secondary Classroom Block. In addition to the many students who have chosen to study Computer Education as an option, a number of students have taken advantage of the staffs will ingness to conduct Computer Clubs at lunchtime and after school.

There is little doubt that as a result of the Beazley Com mittee inquiry a number of recommendations will be made which, when implemented, will have a significant impact upon the type of education being offered in the secondary schools of this State. Those of us who are involved at this level have been deeply concerned abou t the restrictive influence that the requirements of the various Tertiary institutions have had upon the curriculum, particularly at the upper secondary level, and we look forward to the adoption of a system which will continue to encourage high academic standards yet allow the schools to be more res ponsive to the individual needs and interests of its students. I am looking forward to the changes which will undoubtedly

[n 1984 we will be mounting, for the first time, an upper secondary programme at the College. Seventy five students will be undertaking T.A. E. courses and fifteen students will be involved in the one year terminal transition course to be offered to the Year 11 students. Of the ninety students in our current Year 10 classes only four will be leaving school to take up employment and we wish them every success in their chosen vocations. It is my hope that these students will become foundation members of the Former Student Association when it is formed so that they will retain a link with the CoUege they helped to establish.

and Basketball) and it involved competitions between the College and a number of government as well as independent schools. The extent of our success is recorded in the College magazine but the results do not give a true indication of the very healthy spirit that prevailed during these competitions.

The transition course deserves a special mention in that it represents an attempt to cater for those students who have an interest in developing skills which will enable them to leave school during or at the end of Year 11 in order to take up employment and/or to attend a Technical or Business College. The course has been developed by Mr David Taylor, the Career Counsellor, in association with the Fremantle Technical College and with the assistance of a number of employers who will provide work experience for the students. The students will spend three days at the College doing special courses in English, Mathematics, Life Skills, Commercial Studies, Industrial Arts and Human Relationships. This programme will be supplemented with one day of study at a Technical College and one day of work experience. It is an innovative attempt to provide an alternative course to the traditional T.A.E. studies normally offered in secondary schools and I wish those involved every success.

A number of our College teams also participated in local competitions at weekends and this willingness to participate in community based competitions has met with a very favourable response. This year saw the production of "Gunslinger" in the Performing Arts Centre and over one thousand people attended. It was a most successful performance and Mr Keith Maughan, (the producer) his assistants and members of the cast deserve the many accolades they received from those who were privileged to see the play. The Student Council, under the able chairmanship of Narelle Austin has been very active during the year and its various sub committees have worked hard in a supportive role for the many and varied activities within the College. The staff of the ColJege have once again worked very effect ively to provide the students with every opportunity to succeed to the best of their ability. They will be joined in 1984 by the following new appointees, Mr Stanley Balding, Dip.T., B.Ed., H.C., C.of M.E. (Industrial Arts) Mr Richard Craig, B.Sc.(Hons), Dip.Ed., (Science/ Mathematics) Mr Douglas Davies, BA, B.Ed.(Hons), (English) Mr Steven Dierks, B.App.Sc., B.Ed., (Science) Mrs Lupe Gates. B.Sc., B.Ed., (Math/Computer Education) Miss Greta C1eghorn, T.C. (Social Studies) Mrs Joan Dransfield, I.C., Assoc.H.Ec., (Home Economics) Mrs Rona Marcos, B.A., (Commercial Studies) Mrs J anine Riley, B.A., Post.Grad.Dip.Lib.St. (Assistant Librarian) You will nu doubt enjoy reading all about these new staff members in the current newsletter (Vol4, No. 1,1983) I am sad to announce the resignation ot Mrs Anna Ginand· Jar who has been forcea to take a break from teaching due to ill health. Her contributions during the two years that she has been a member of the College staff were most valuable and we will miss her greatly. Mrs Ginandjar's duties have been performed during the last six weeks of term by Mrs Trish Maughan and Mrs Sllsan Grant in a very competent manner and I am most appreciative of their help.

The College has maintained its policy of working as closely as possible with the local Anglican parish. Thus the Bull Creek congregation meets each Sunday in the Performing Arts Centre and uses a number of classrooms for its Christian Education programme. A Youth Group has been meeting under parish leadership and a combined College/ Parish Badminton Club for adults has begun to operate. The recently completed residence in Brockman Avenue is a joint College/Parish project and houses the College Chap lain who is also Rector of the Parish. It is our objective to develop this policy for co-operation into the future. This year the College has experimented with new forms of worship additional to the occasional Communion services each term and the weekly assemblies. One such form was "HoLlse Worship", in which the Housemaster/ Mistress, House captains and the Chaplain were involved in the preparation. Tasks were allotted by House captains to students from Years 7 to 10; and the final result was generally agreed to be very satisfactory. The other experi mental type of worship was "Year Worship" which means that services were arranged for each Year group, on lines similar to the House worship. Other activities in the area of Religious Education have con tinued as in previous years, namely Human Relations (our Christian Education programme) taken by Form teachers. Religious Education for Year 7's taken by the Chaplain, and the integration of Religious Studies into the appro· priate core subjects. The extra curricular programme at the College has, under the careful guidance ofMr John Bednall, expanded dramatically during the year with a large range of cultural, recreational and sporting activities being offered either at lunchtime, "after school", or at the weekend. A very high percentage of the students have been involved in al lease one of the activities offered. I would particularly like to take this opportunity to commend those students in the Concert Band, the Boys' Treble Choir and the College Choir for the hard work they have put in to reach a very acceptable standard of performance in such a short time. The Interhouse Competition has involved eleven activities, aJJ of which were keenly contested. and it is my pleasure to congratulate Forrest House on winning the overall competition for J 983 with a total of 86 points.

The Parents' and Friends' Society continues to play a vital role in the College, as do the many parent helpers who pro vide their valuable services to the school, and I would like to express my appreciation of their significant contri· bu tions. During the year there were four new appointments to the Board of Management, two Synod representatives, the Rev'd. Robert Hanson and Mrs Barbara Hunter, and two P & F Society representatives, Mrs Jane Geary and Mrs Susan Downs. We welcome them to the Board and are confident that they will make significant contributions to the management of the Cullege. The enrolment at the College will increase from 390 to 5[0 students in 1984 and this together with the imple mentation of an upper secondary programme of studies provides the exciting prospect of enhancing our already fine reputation.

The Interschool programme also included a variety of activities (Swimming, Cricket. Netball, Lacrosse, Soccer, Squash, Football, Hockey, Rugby, Archery, Water Polo

STUDENT COUNCIL REPORT The Student Council, consisting of five Sub-committees, has had a year of many achievements as well as let-downs. The accomplishments of these Sub-committees are as follows:

A donation was made this year to the City of Melville Reiief fund. They also control a banking system from Westpac every Friday lunchtime. PUBLICATIONS - (Chairman, Lisa Watson). This group takes responsibility for any printed material, and has organized the sale of Social photographs this year. During Term Il a Literary Competition was held, but most import antly they completely control the publication of our annual magazine 'Columba' into which is put a lot of time and effort.

SOCIAL - (Chairman, Sanya Wood). [n Term I the Year 9(10 held a 'Black and White' disco followed in Term II by a T.B.P. dance. This term also saw the Year 7(8 'Back to Sixties' social, while in Term III a film night was organ ized. All students are appreciative of the work done by the Social Sub-committee. SPORT - (Chairman, Todd Grierson). All members have worked hard to organize the Swimming and Athletic Carnivals, and have introduced new sport options such as sailing, windsurfing and rowing in Term I, and lacrosse and rugby in Term 11. Throughout the year this com mittee has been responsible for issuing sports equipment to students each lunchtime.

As well as these Sub-committees, the full Student Council has also arranged a Clock-stop te raise money for the Bush· fire Appeal towards which we donated $179.79. The Council controls the problems of Lost Property, and also until recently took the responsibility of supervising two classrooms for group study at lunchtimes.

COMMUNITY SERVICE - (Chairman, Mark van Brakel). These students have spent the year contributing to worthy causes, and organizing groups to participate in the Walk against Want, the 40 Hour Famine and the Fun Run. During Term II groups of students visited Norich Hostel, Air Force Lodge, Sherwin Lodge and Willetton Special School. Most recently a donation was made to the 'Little Sisters of the Poor'. The money was raised through a Skip athon and will allow a new gate to be constructed at the convent.

The question of sponsoring a child for World Vision was agreed upon, and will probably continue as an annual project. Finally, toward the end of Term III the Student Council will be organizing a Weedathon where students will volunt arily weed after school and receive a free meal. Appreciation and thanks go to Mr Bednall for his guidance and support throughout the year, and to the Executive Committee for its hard work.

FINANCE - (Chairman, Stuart Redman). This Committee handles all the giving of donations and receiving of money.

bill is much less too. We thank the Principal and especially the Bursar, lan Botte rill , for their efforts in bringing this about in association with the local parish. The new P.A.Centre has made its contribution to the worship activities of the College, especially the weekly assemblies in which it is my privilege to share. There is an atmosphere of some dignity, "good order and discipline" (to use an Air Force term) which coupled with a touch of informality, helps to make for a meaningful act of worship each week. The Centre has also been used for the Com· munion services held each term and will enable us to stay at home this year for the celebration of AJI Saints' Day on I November. Bishop Brian Kyme will be our visitor. On the subject of worship, a useful innovation this year has been the introduction of Year worship in which say aJl the Year 8 students come together for an act of wor ship designed to involve as many students as possible at a common level of understanding. This arose out of an experiment with House worship in which in the one period the whole student body was divided into the four House groups, which meant that each group contained a fairly wide age range and varying degrees of interest and particip ation. There was also the practical problem of the lack of suitable meeting places for four groups needed at the one time. The Year worship has resulted in much greater unity and participation and as only one group is involved at a time, has removed the practical problem of where to meet. The idea of House worship has not been abandoned and it is hoped that the experience gained through successful Year worship will lay the foundation for the House wor ship at a later stage.

Ken McIntyre, Chaplain

The educational programme, including Religious Studies II1tegrated with core subjects and "Human Relations" has been continued by the teaching staff throughout the year. My task as Chaplain is to be a resource person and provide curriculum materials for Human Relations. As 1983 calls for three separate programmes for Years 8, 9 and 10, it has not been easy and I am therefore grateful when teachers are able to report a fair amount of "spin-off' from the materials, which means they are generating a wider field of thinking than I had anticipated.

CHAPLAIN'S REPORT I began my 1982 report by saying that the year had been a stre.nuous one. Well, 1983 has finished up being not much dIfferent! However, I thank God for the opportunities given to me in this College and for a real measure of strength to do a fair part of the total amount of work that could be done. I also wish to express to the Principal and members of staff my recognition and appreciation of the strenuous efforts that they make in the service of the College. Going the extra mile is a standard here, for which the whole community of the College should be thankful, as I know so many are. 1 would also like to thank those parents and students who give encouragement and support just by being really friendly in all kinds of situations. From the giving POll1t of VIew [ guess we'll never know how much giving a smile and a greeting has meant to other people in their Journey through this world, but we get a glimpse of it through what it does for us when we receive from other people.

In the area of CoJlegejParish co-operation, there is the basic factor still that the joint operation makes the chaplaincy and the parish ministry much more viable in present circumstances. Some Youth work is carried on under parish leadership and a process has been started of particular classes (students and parents) being invited from time to time to share in the parish worship. The use by the parish of various facilities provided by the College is also greatly appreciated. May I remind you again of the great desire of our founders and of so many of our present school population, that this College should be specifically Christian. To that end we must go on together with the continued conviction that because it IS God who gives the will and the power to achieve His purposes, we must keep on looking out to Him 111 prayer and faith, so that what is desired for this CoJlege m ay come to pass.

My wife Vicky and 1 are glad to be living in the new residence on the College site. It's a grea t house and it's very convenient and time saving to be there. The petrol

A BRIEF mSTORY OF ALL SAINT'S COLLEGE On 31 May, 1980, the Premier of Western Australia, Sir Charles Court, uneviled a plaque to commemorate the establishment of All Saint's College and the Archbishop of Perth, the Most Revd. G.T. Sambell, 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 sou them 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 to gather at the site to witness the occasion and to share in the real sense of achievement which the establishment of All Saint's College represents.

A Foundation Board of Management of twelve members was formeu in October, 1979, under the chairmanship of Mr Jack F. Howson, O.B.E., Mayor of the City of Melville, and the Foundation Principal, Dr. N. Eric Speed was appointed in April,1 980. With the financial assistance of the Commonwealth and State Governments and the Anglican Schools' Trust, the first state of construction of the College was completed in November, 1980, the second stage in April, 1982 and the third stage in May, 1983. This rapid development of the buildings and site was in response to an environment demand which caused enrolments to rise from an initial intake of 125 students in 1981 to 390 students in 1983. The Parents' and Friends Society of the College was formed in November, 1980, and it has since become a very supportÂ ive element in the ongoing development of the College as evidenced by its commitment to fund the construction of Stage 1 of the Performing Arts Centre at a cost of 5300,000.

The impetus for the founding of the College came from the Anglican 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.

DEDICATION SERVICE On Sunday the 19th June, the Anglican Archbishop of Perth, the Most Reverend Dr Peter Carnley dedicated the new buildings at the College. These buildings included a classroom, a commerce room, three Science laboratories, a Metalwork centre, a Photography facility, a Clothing and Fabrics room, Stage [ of the Library, extensions to the Administration building and the Performing Arts Centre (Stage I). The service was conducted in the "P.A. Centre" and was attended by over 1200 people, including students, staff, parents and friends of the College. Dr Carnley spoke of the unique opportunity available to parents who chose to send their children to independent schools to play a meaningful role in their education. The au tonomy of the independent school enabled parents to ensure that the ethical and religious values of the schuol and the home were mutually supportive. The Chairman of the Board of Management of All Saints' College, Mr Jack Howson, O.B.E., paid tribute to the Parents' and Friends' Society for their initiative in conÂ ducting an appeal for $300,000 to finance the construction of Stage I of the Performing Arts Centre, consisting of a multi-purpose gymnasium which serves as an assembly area, a drama and music facility, an indoor sports arena, a worship centre and as a community facility. He pointed out that the funding of the "P.A. Centre" depends entirely upon the continued financial support of parents in terms of the pledges which they have made and the willingness of the parents and new students in the years to comc to make their cOlllmitment in a sImilar fashion. The Ladies Forum did a magnificent Job of decoratlllg the "P.A. Centre" for the occasion and it was also responsible for the provision of refreshments at the conclusion of the Service. 15

LIBRARY REPORT 1983 saw us move mto our new home, and how nice it was to have. The students appreciated the new facility and it was not long before the lunch times saw students sitting wherever they could find a space. This has made everyone eager for the addition scheduled for 19B5 We were also fortunate to have the services of Mrs J an Stevenson and Mrs Moyra Beechen. Mrs Stevenson used her artistic talents to construct displays using the terrific work done by the studen ts. A special thank you to Mrs Parker's Handicraft Club and to Mrs Prescott's English classes for providing such interesting materials to be displayed. The library would not have functioned so efficiently without our library aide, Mrs Moyra Beechen, who gave up so much of her own time in assisting everyone. In addition and on behalf of the students, I would also like to thank the Mothers who came in week after week making more materials available for both staff and students.

YEAR 7 CAMP

EXTRACTS OF STUDENTS' COMMENTS

D.Day - 9.15 am Tuesday 8 March. Sixty excited and happy year seven students departed for the Serpentine Baptist Youth Camp for four days of fun.

Each day we had art. We were pu t in three groups My group did sketching and then we painted it. That was my favourite art lesson. The next day my group was with Mrs Wilmot. We were sketching a scene outside. This was okay. On the third day we did a collage. This was good although my hands got sticky. Altogether the art sessions were great.

After only being at All Saints' College for a few weeks it was a wonderful opportunity to get to know our fellow students and our teachers. Well, fun it certainly was but our teachers proved to be real task masters. Was this to be a hideous premonition of the year to come?

Betinda Campe

It seemed that no sooner had we settled down to sleep after the evening activities than it was morning and super fit Mrs Wilmot had us up at the crack of dawn doing aerobics. Mr J im Turner who also liked getting up early, proved to be very inventive with some particularly energetic exercises for the less co-operative, or should we say less alert class members. Then Mrs Williams in motherly style had dom1 imspections every morning and despite her myopic vision found all sorts of junk under the beds. Mr Stapleton and his demon washing up machine had us all up to ou r elbows in soapsuds three times a day.

Siesta, like art and craft, was a time to relax. After clear ing a space in the dorm, most of the kids in the dorm, along with a couple of others, settled down to a game of Dungeons. Once siesta was completed we made the mad dash to the canteen. If you were buying at the canteen, I soon learned not to buy a can, as everyone else usually had the most. Instead I scrounged off everyone else! After canteen, we continued to play Dungeons, rather than running around. It was then that most of my lollies were either eaten or pinched. However, I still took a pocketful to art! by Robert Cruse

Some of the many activities in which we all participated and that enabled us to make friends were an Aqua Sports afternoon and tournaments in table tennis, mini golf and tennis. The Art and Craft activities were enjoyable and relaxing and our Human Relations Sessions proved interest ing and fruitful. One morning we had a Bush Walk and every day we went to our dorms for a siesta - or at least that's what the teachers thought. The daily canteen was a popular event and Mr Stapleton was the biggest spender. Mrs Williams was caught slinking into the administration block with a half devoured cherry ripe and twenty jelly babies.

There we were tramping up a dirt track road. Shoes pinch ing our toes, sharp branches clutching at our legs and arms. In other words it was murder. Everywhere we stepped there were cow pads. Pardon me for saying, but it reminded me of the meat loaf we had had the night before. Sue Pihu

The hike was boring and hot.

Some people got caught on the spot.

They wanted to know

the way to go

back to the camping lot.

The thought of the swimming pool

was so refreshingly cool.

We wanted to know

how far to go.

Oh how could they be so cruel.

When we got back

I shouted "lets pack.

and get ready to say 'so long' "

obody listened Because the pool glistened the though t of it just too strong. After a swim and some dinner we certainly weren't any tlunner. It will give us some strength, If they go to the length of another hike ''I'm a beginner l "

We though t the weeks were pretty good overall and we especially liked the apple crumble and the salads. Each evening brought a different activity. We had a Quiz Night, a dance with both folk and modern and a fancy dress and games night. Chrissie Evert L1oyd, alias Clinton Card ner looked absolu tely gorgeous. The teachers read us bedtime stories after supper, presumably to put us to sleep, however, we were the stronger sex - oops group and when they retired to the sack we had a Jot of fun. On Friday I I th March we returned to All Saints' College and then to the comfort of our own beds. Rumours were that some students slept 16 hours straight and couldn't even stay awake to eat dinner that evening.

It was a lovely camp and we thank the staff and parents who helped to make it so enjoyable.

faced the dorm inspectors. After dorm inspection we had a Human Relations course mainly dealing with group activities, seeing how we, as individuals, worked in a group.

YEAR 8 CAMP Ten o'clock came as the buses rumbled down the pathway into the Serpentine Baptist Youth Campsite. A total of 120 laughing, noisy, boisterous. uncontrollable kids burst through the warped dorm doors. Although the dorms were old, they were quite comfortable and there were no com plaints about the smallness of the rooms.

The hours passed quickly as we lazed in the sun in our free time. Some of us climbed over the fence to the dry creek bed, low shrubs scratching our bare legs. It had a true Australiana atmosphere, nothing like the lush green areas of the campsite.

A familiar voice came over the public address system before very long, calling us to the dining hall for a long speech and lunch. "Line up with washed hands and name tags, pronto!" After a few moments we filed into the giant hall and made our way to the wooden benches. "This table join the serving queue, now this one, "

As the days rushed on we did many activities. We had quiz nights and games nights, but one of the best nights was when the film, Superman II, was shown. We thoroughly enjoyed it, sticking to our seats, hanging onto every minute, our wide eyes glued to the screen. We had a concert night with so many skits that we all laughed at. And then there was the social part of the evening - the country dancing and the teachers' skits, with the teachers making thurough fools of themselves.

When the eating was finished we trudged off to ou r dorms and flung ourselves onto the beds to have a nap, much too excited to sleep. Siesta was a big bore. It wasn't too hard to work out who the rest was for, because as we looked through the louvred windows we could see the teachers resting under the shade of the trees.

We felt unhappy as we left the campsite on the buses in the afternoon on Friday. This was no doubt a great camp, a memory we would treasure for a long long time.

As we played general sports in the afternoon we could feel the hot sun beating down on our heads. A majority of the kids threw themselves into cricket, volleyball, soft ball, minigolf, tennis and basketball, while others pre ferred to lie in the shade of the lime green trees in full growth, cushioned by luscious green grass.

Jeanine Bronwasser AND SOME VIEWS:

Arrival

"After an huur wc arrived at the camp which looked more

like a prison at first glance." Andrew Harry.

When the sporting activities finished, we filed up for dinner, bursting into the hall with noisy chatter. but we soon quietened down when told we wouldn't have tea until we did!

Dorms

"Every day we had a dorm inspection to make sure we kept

our dorms tidy but about ten minutes after the inspectors

left it was an awful mess again." Nicole Hollow.

Dinner finished at 7.00pm, and then we had a games evening with Mr Stapleton organizing everyone into teams. The games were noisy but lots of funs. Nine o'clock came and we were getting tired but the commandants kept us up. Around the bush we went, trying to tag 'enemies' before they got to the light of the lantern in the lantern stalk. Catching people and pinning them to the ground is not an easy task when you're half asleep and you cJn't see a foot in front of you! Eleven o'clock came and we fell into bed, weary from the night's efforts. There were no arguments that night, as everyone was alseep as soon as the lights went out.

Early Morning

"Each day began on a cheerful note with Mr Stapleton's

announcement, "Wakey, wakey, it's Phys. Ed time!"

Michael Usher.

"At seven o'clock everyone heard Mr Stapleton say, "Rise

and shine, everybody." When we went down to the oval 1

saw that everyone had risen bu t I didn't sce anyone shine."

Peter Chiang.

Seven a.m. came and we woke to the sound of the P.A. system blaring from somewhere above, with a voice telling us to be dressed and on the oval for exercises - and "adding that anyone who was late would have to go for an extra jog!

"We were woken up with a deafening music in our ears."

Kerri Weir.

"The beetles seemed to be the real earlybirds. They were

the first in the floo!." Robert Smyth.

Anyone who tried to sleep through the ear-piercing commands of the leader or who tried to do only half the exercises soon found out about it! "Touch your toes, up, down, up down, up down, keep it up!" After that we dragged ourselves back to our dorms while some silly creatures had a dip in the cold, icy water of the pool. I shivered just thinking about it.

"The kids next door were making an awful lot of racket, so

the teachers made us all get up and do Phys. Ed." Leanne

Youngs.

Food

After last year's camp I was frightened what the meals

were going to be like. Luckily, we were quite surprised

that the food was as good as it was." Michael Usher.

After breakfast we raced back to our dorms, chucked clothes in our cases, zipped 'em up, swept the floor, straightened our sleeping bags, made ready our bribes and

"On the first day for lunch we had chips. on the second

day for lunch we had chips, on the third day we had

from the changerooms and the corners of the large hal!.

chips, on the fourth day we had chips and for a change

on the fifth day we had chips." Jason Anderson.

"Mealtimes were the noisiest times of the day" Herps.

Matthew Edwards and Darren Mellor put on a fine display of 'tap-dancing' and later on Andrew Sisters had a go. (We think he went in it for the chocolate as a reward).

Adam

Supper was served to only those who had a partner lined up with them. J think a few people went hungry!

"Now let's get to the bad part of the camp: breakfast,

lunch and dinner with the exception of supper, which

was alright." Michelle Robinson.

The newspaper game was quite a success and many teachers noticed that their feet are a bit big. Sheree Taylor and Mark Smith the lightest pair of the competition, came ou t as overall winners.

Activities

"During siesta we were supposed to stay in our dorms,

but some people (not mentioning anyone's name in case

this story were to fall into the wrong hands) were sneakÂ

ing around." Susan Larkin.

It was easy to tell the best dressed teacher as he joined in

" ach night people stayed up and had the thrill of tlashing

their torches." Nathan White.

with stuuents and didn't exactly act much different from them. He walked around with about two packets of stale bubblegum hanging out of his mouth. His hair (or what he had) was greased back and he was wearing extremely large boots and a leather jacket that didn't fit him. It was obvious that he hadn't shaved and it was quite effective as he was leader of the bikie gang.

"When the lights went out we got up to a lot of mischief,

like mid nigh t feasts." Saseha Brand.

The barn dance was quite a feature as all the teachers joined in and did the steps quite professionally.

Going Home

"It came Friday and although I was sad to leave the camp,

I was looking forward to a nice bed, watching television,

but most of all a nice mea!." Melissa Arendts.

At Ilpm the hall was nearly back to normal as the students sadly departed. Even though no photographs were taken happy memories still linger on ...

"Friday, the 25th, soom came and it was time to return to

school to meet our parents and go home and have a good

night's sleep." Michael Usher.

YEAR 7/8 SOCIAL - TERM

"The games at night were great fun except for those who

went mad and tripped over the fence." Peta Wright.

A great time was had by all at the Year 7/8 "Back to the Sixties Social", in the Performing Arts Centre. There were some unusual and weird costumes, including the "Flower Power Hippies", and the common Fonzies. Apart from not being long enough, no one had any complaints. It gave everyone a chance to tryout their skills at the twist and jive, after much training from Miss Ranford. Mr Stapleton, our M.C., did a great job, giving away many spot prizes to those who had taken notice of Miss Ranford's expert tuition! Supper was enjoyed by all, marking the end of a great night. Our thanks go to those who helped to organize, prepare and clean up after the social.

YEAR 9/10 SOCIAL - TERM n It was 7.30pm on Saturday 14th August 1983, pouring with rain when the Year 9/10 students arrived at the Term II T.B.P Social in the Performing Arts Centre. The students rushed in to meet their friends and noticed that the costumes ranged from punks, Tweedle-dees' and TweedleÂ dums', babies and penguins to pink and blue twins, bunny rabbits, prefects, a top hat and a gang of bikies. Dancing soon began but only after bashful students were removed

YEAR 9/10 SOCIAL - TERM 1 The "Black and White Night" was a great success. Many students and teachers attended in fancy dress. Some of the costumes included a dice, a domino, a couple of silly schoolboys, some waitresses, and an imposter Pope. Jubilee lIall at Penrhos College was the venue for the function on 29th April. At 4.4Spm it was the scene of a hard gymnastics training session; by 5.30pm it was transÂ formed into a forest of black and white streamers, ball oons, feet (paper), masks, sketches, and flowers. The Master of Ceremonies was Mr Crane, of All Saints' College. The Disc Jockey was Don Came ran of Band Bookings. The music was loud and long. One game was played -- the newspaper game. In general, it was a good night and behaviour was good. Our only regret was that it wasn't 1[\ our own Performing Arts Centre, but unfortunately it was nol quite ready for 180 students to do vigorous activity in. The clean-up was performed quickly and efficiently. Many thanks to all involved. Joelie May, 9GL.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA WEEK - JUNE 1983 Monday, June 6th: W.A. Week began well with the cele bration of Foundation Day. Mr Mark Stapleton organized a special lesson for all students during Social Studies periods, based on the first arrival in the Swan River Colony of the ships "Parmelia" and "Success", and the very early stages of settlement. Tuesday, June 7th. Many students created delightful smile badges to celebrate the Day of Friendship and Flowers again this year. It was pleasing to note that the human smiles nearly matched the brilliance on the badges. Many classrooms throughout the school displayed posters that emphasised this happy occasion. Quite a number of students also brought in posies of flowers which were later presented to the residents of the Air Force Association Retirement Village. Many thanks go to Mrs Jan Prescott and Miss Jenny Ranford for organizing these activities.

W.A. Week Special Assembly "Day of Endeavour" students. At lunch time there was a demonstration of paper making, and the Year 7 students also attended a musical performance - "Breaking the Sound Barrier" in the morning. Friday, June 10th: Once again Mrs Leonie Kirke organized a most productive tree planting ceremony to commemorate the Day of Trees. Each class planted two or three trees to beautify the driveway and the area in front of the Perform ing Arts Centre. This followed a most interesting talk given by Mrs Shirley de la Hunty on the conservation of trees. Many thanks to all staff and students who participated so enthusiastically in all these activities. Mrs Jill Williams Co-ordinator W.A. Week

W.A. Week "Day of Trees" Wednesday, June 8th. The Day of Endeavour was cele brated with a Special Assembly organized by Mr Brian Hanson. The sermon and readings were based on the spirit of endeavour, and personalities of W.A.' s past were high lighted. Students were encouraged to participate in a similar way in their attitude towards achievement at school. Thursday, June 9th: To celebrate the Day of Arts, Mrs Mavis Prosser arranged an exhibition of student art in the Perfonning Arts Centre, and it was pleasmg to see so many students and parents in attendance.

Rehearsals - hard work and sometimes, just sitting around. But we made it!

I'm sure everyone would agree, that the College Production of "Gul1s1lOger" was an immense success.

happened to be the last straw, and Mr Maughan leapt out of his chair, did a long jump over the stage, hurdled the stairs and disappeared through the door. A very subdued 'Buddy Bullpuncher' was guided back to the P.A. Centre.

Towards the end of Term I auditions began, and there were those of us fortunate enough to be given major rotes.

There were also some of us who forgot to turn up at re足 hearsals (not to mention any names) and were severely dealt with.

We were given our SCripts, and haif-way through Term II rehearsals began In earnest. These rehearsals were very difficult, as we had no props, no backdrop, and generally no idea of what the play, or our own p:HtS, were .all about. For various reasons, a number of cast members found it impossible to contlOue. and so new talent was sought for what seemed a very difficult task

Then it was suddenly Opening Night and we all had bu Iter足 flies. 1n spite of our nervousness. however, we were all surprised at how well the show went, and indeed, Friday and Satu rday were even better.

At the end of Term 11, the future of the Production was In jeopardy, but we decided to push on, and battled our ""ay through rehearsals jJl the holidays Two weeks before the performance was due. the show looked qULte hopeless, but because of the dedication of the staff, Mr Maugl1an's coolness and the hard wo rk of 1he cast. we progressed immensely.

The cast would like to thank Mrs Klrke, Mr Crane. Darryl, Mrs Williams, Mrs Prescott, Mrs Prosser, Mrs Parker. the Ladies' Forum, Mr Hanson, Mrs Broadbent and Mr Staple足 ton for their various contributIons towards the production.

The pressure was reaJJy on, and in these last two weeks there were tJlnes when Mr Maughan 10S1 his cool. The most notable time was when Craig Lal'kLn was nowhere to be seen when he should have been Oil stage. It just

We hope next year's isjust as good.

A special thanks should go to Mr Maughan for his per足 severance and truly professional producll1g.

Colonel Conquest (Travis Butler) 27

A.S.C. presents...

"GUNSLINGERI"

Much more preoccupies the Producer of a school play than mere theatricality. He mu'st balance his creative will within the limitations imposed by all the other activities and inter ests that weave the rich fabric of a busy school like All

Saints'. It was within this difficult context that one hun dred odd students and a dozen or so staff, set out on the ambitious project to produce "Gunslinger", a play with a lack of narrative unity, beyond the cultural experiences of young Australian students and requiring musical and choreographical stiffening to make it work as a visual spectacle at all. This was a challenge indeed. But soon the Performing Arts Centre became a Wild West Saloon into which an unsuspecting audience was led, fed and exhorted to join with the cast in effecting a meta morphosis of whoops, stamps and frontier cheers, Indians and all. The big challenge then of the production was for a large young cast to understand what was not an episodic play, but a theatrical celebration of the American West. Whereas last year's production demanded nothing more than that they trip their way through clownish nonsense, "Gun slinger" needed a sense of interpretation and dramatic dis cipline not readily appreciated by young intellects. And so, in early rehearsals the lack of narrative unity proved un settling for the cast. The play is more of a review wh ich focuses on the exper iences of a lawman-gunslinger, John Milton Speed, whose crusading rampage to tame the West is in ironic conOict with Angel "Kid" McGrew, the outlaw and his need to keep it wiJd. Colonel Conquest, carpet-bagging his way through this social civil war, has his own dramatic contrast, Chief Black Moon, dignified, savage, but inevitably the economic, political and social victim. The theme then of "Gunslingcr" is complex and serious and the natural tendency of young cast members to burlesl.jue their way through fake American accents and shoot-outs in Saloons did give the Production an uncertain ty of interpretation. Bu t this did not detract from the audiences enjoyment of it; there was no mistaking the spirit and energy shown on stage. The ambition of the Production was rellected too, in the size of the cast with twenty four speaking parts and dozens of cameo roles with Saloon regulars, prospectors, Indian braves and southern soldiers. It is not possible to mention all the actors and actresses. It is enough to say that there was not one weak part and few lines delivered without clarity and strength. Travis Butler was a powerful Colonel Conquest, who linked the criss-cross of settings with conviction and evident enjoyment. Jeremy Greville pro jected the contradictions in the character of Milton Speed with solid understanding, and Karl Perry's vigor and en thusiasm fitted well the role of "Kid" McGrew. Matthew Edwards showed professional understanding of his difficult role as Chief Black Moon, which was not one in which his own personaJity easily blended. Of the lesser roles, Cralg Larkin was a confident and brash Buddy Bullpullcher.

Morag MacKinnon showed a sense of fun as Belle Tender loin, Paul Lawrence worked hard to retain the seriousness of HuekJeberry Smith in the mayhem of the Saloon and John Geha was a convincing Hardiman (rabbe, Quack and Alcoholic Preacher. Perhaps the most pJeasll1g aspect of the Production was its success as a visual display, which after all is at the essence of successful theatre. The twelve dancers who worked so hard with Choreographer, Miss Ranford, in the months leading up to the performances, were wonderful to watch and splendid in their skill and enthusiasm. We have learnt to take for granted too, the enthusiasm of the College Choir when they fill the Chorus roles in our musical productions. This year was no exception and their discipline was a credit to Mrs Prescott. Special mention must be made of the PIanist, Wild Bonnie Fifty-Fingers, Mrs Leonie Kirke, who apart from sprawling across her keys in a convincingly discordant death, spent countless hours at rehearsals and whose services to College music and drama have for three years now gone way

beyond the job descriptions of conventional Heads of Science. Mrs Williams' attention to detail with costumes, Mr Hanson's and Mr Stapleton's logistical support backstage, Mrs Prosser's deft imagination in set design, Mr. Crane wielding a hammer one day, providing guitar accompani ment the next, Mrs Knox administering the seating and the settling of three very large audiences - indeed the more one writes the more one becomes aware of the involvement of virtually the whole College. The ushers, the waiters and waitresses juggling corn cobs in the dark, the office staff typing and telephoning - in terms of co-operative spirit alone, the Production was a success. But none would deprive Mr Maughan of the principle credit. The mammoth task of co-ordinating a Production of such scale meant large hours, a quiet resolve in the face of the doubters, and above all a commitment to its success, which the students recognized and to which they re sponded. He can be well pleased and gratified by what was achieved.

YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE 1983 marked the introduction of Work Experience into the College's list of activities. Without discourse into the philo sophies behind the programme, I believe it was successful, as at the conclusion there were very few students who were apathetic about their experiences. Some students are now convinced that they do not want to become Recreation Officers, others do not want to work in clerical or financial institutions. For the most part the programme rc-affirmed tentative decisions and helped students in coming to terms with realities of their interests. Special thanks must go to the parents who volunteered their assistance by offering work experience placements. Unfortunately many of these were not used, though in 1984 thay may be! Nathan Pulford at H.M.A.S. Leeuwin doing maintenance work. The Year 10's must also be congratulated on their per formance as representatives of the College. Almost with out 'exception comments from employers ranged from the very positive to the wildly enthusiastic. A number of students had some interesting experiences which raised (in my mind) further question. Why was Lisa accosted by a policeman in the courts? Did a student, keen on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, really get lost in a record library? Is it true that the sight of blood has a pro found effect on one male staff member of the College? Does the phrase 'Women in Uniform' refer to any young lady in 10K? Kylie Harris - Fremantle Veterinary Clinic.

GREAT BARRIER REEF TOUR REPORT

"You took them to the airport earlier 31!"

If asked to summarIse the trLp in a few words they would have to be 'very successful and enjoyable!' Overall it was good value for money but there were several areas with which the students were not too happy. The meals were only average. as has to be experienced when large numbers are catered for. Some of the boys found it difficult to survive on the amounts served up and the local deli did a brisk trade. The accommodation was baSIC, but agall1, It was quite adequate and students were in small groups of th ree to a room.

Other notable events. (a) three girls being taken to the Casualty Department of Cairns Hospital. (b) a certain young lady's quick release bathing costume. (c) Or Speed 'biting hi tongue' on a number of occasions. (d) the un-scheduled tour of the Cemetery. (e) Charlie the Croc. (f) the slide at Lake Placid. (g) the' melly" sugar mill. (h) the patient air hostesses. (i) our 30 minute visit to the orthern Territory. U) the excessive amounts of spending money being spent on trivia.

The excursion programme was very detailed and most excursions were enjoyed (e.g. Green Island, Kurunda Rail way and the Waterworks). Others proved to be a little tedious (e.g. Atherton Tableland and Cairns Tour).

r should like to

thank Or Speed, Mrs Hanson and Mr Staple ton for their assistance in the supervision of the students, Mr Botterill for helping out at Perth Airport and all of the students who were very responsible and mature through ou t the week. B. Hanson Tour Organiser

Standards of behaviour were commendable throughout. due no doubt, to the staff models ('). There was one short interlude of silly pranks on the final evenmg before bed but this was quickly queUed. I should like to thank the students who 'donated' a month's shaving cream and toothpaste to the staff. Both staff and students found it easy to get on with each other and the constant banter between 'Tommy' and the male staff was a feature of the trip. 'Tommy' tried to keep secret a little romance that had begun during the final weeks of Term 2. He tried to deny it. but his forceful denial didn't conVlJ1ce us. The cat was really out of the bag when a certall1 young lady met him at the airport on our return. umber 31, alias ..... (no I won't embarrass him) amused us on every occasion. He left his camera on Green Island, he was frequently the last to arrive, he broke things (acciden tally?), and was always leaving things on the bus. Toward the end of the week, whenever someone was thoughtless or forgetful. they were accused of committing a '31 '. I made a classic '3 I' on the trip to Cairns Airport on the final day. Upon coun ting the students on the bus I discovered that there were only 38, instead of 40, students on board. On enquiring where the 'missing' students were a chorus reply was heard.

SOME STUDENT COMMENTS: The Trip to Cairns, was to mc, the holiday of my lifetime. It was really great and the students and teachers that went were all fantastic. We arrived on Sunday 28th September at about 6.00 in the morning. The flight was really good with a yummy breakÂ fast on the plane. Wc flew into a sunrise which was really gorgeous, the sky was all pink and orange.

NareUe Austin

Cairns was just like I imagined. Clear blue skies with tropical palm trees and a warm breeze. How gorgeous!

Saturday being the last day of tours involved a trip to Port Douglas where we had a most enjoyable swim. On the way back we viewed a crocodile demonstration as well as other interesting animals including snakes and casawaris. The show was most enjoyable bu t tense!

As soon as wc arrived at the lodge some of us went for a swim and then we spent the rest of the morning at the Botanical Gardcns. It was really weird about the time differences. At lOam it seemed like 4pm.

Night life at Cairns was also excellent. On different nights we saw Flashdance and Little Darlings, played squash, went ten pin bowling, went roller skating and generally enjoyed ou rselves.

Joanne Thomson

All in all, Cairns was a most enjoyable 'escape from school', enjoyed by most who were involved.

Monday was the first of our tours. We boarded a boat and set off for Green Island. Firstly we went on a glass

Some Impressions of the Tour:

has taken up nearly half of the house. Along a caved In footpath there are about 10 rusted strips of metal which form a fence. Many only have one single shrub as a garden entwined in red gravel, and nearly every house has an old Iron roof. .

Patrick Hannan's Memorial Statue on the corner of Hannan Street, Kalgoorlie (next to the Townhall) gives all visitors and the locals a memory 0 f how Kalgoorlie first began. With life as hard as it was: most seemed to battle through water shortages, lack of food and many uther problems associated with life out in the bush, as well as could be expected.

JOImine Hubbarcl It was Tuesday, 20th September. and a visit had been arranged to view a home set up for aged Aborigines . called Little Sisters of the Poor.

[f it were not for those few people such as Paddy Hannan, maybe there would never have been gold fuund in these outback regions, miles from any larger civiliLations. He reminds us all of the cuurage he and his felluw mates must have had.

We were openly and warmly greeted at a locked gate by Sister Agatha. 'I must keep these gates locked: she smiled behind us, 'or they'll go.' As we were led through into a bright and cheery garden, 1 watched two Aborigines sitting on sOll1e paving, and it struck me how odd these people looked dressed in Western cui ture clothing and adorned in jewellery. I also wondered what a hard time they'd experienced being fringe·dwellers - always rejected by each race, even their own.

His water bag, being emphasised by the fact that Jt is open to the public for a drink, reminds people of how Impurtant the Fremantle to Kalgoorlie pipeline really is. Sarah Bee

fields. The first 1 encountered was the Ha111ault

was not my first time in a mine, but this time a few things were different. We were herded into a dark room where we were shown a film with a narrator pretending to be Paddy Hannan. After this we went down a shaft to a level of 203 feet, where we were given a guided tour by an elderly ex miner. They hadn't changed much in seven years When we left I was annoyed because we had no time to look around, but this was understandable due to Mr Bednall's tight schedule. Jason Baird

The object of my interest in the Goldfields was the pipe line journeying from Perth to Kalgoorlie. It amazed me by its never-ending path over 600km of rough terrain, stretch ing towards its destination giving life and hope to the people of the Goldfields. When looking at it from a bird's eye view, it seems like a silver streak running across the desert. Rene Holz

Sister Agatha led us into the round room. There he sat. An old handsome Aboriginal man wearing a large black hat. His eyes stared at the open fire in the centre of the room, his hands and bottom lip shook uncontrollably. His brown eyes shifted from the fire and looked at us. Then after a few seconds his eyes turned and looked back at the fire. He seemed to be insulled that we had entered the room and spoil t his privacy. When we had finished our tour of the home we saw the man again, walking around the garden. He walked with a slow tightened pace. He gave our group a smile and walked on. Keely George 33

They wander streets and lanes To fill the time of day They chat with everyone they see And know them, too, I'd say. There's no big rush at all 'around here 'Relaxed' describes it well The shops are quiet, not too busy With nothing much to sell.

'SET FOR LIFE'

There seems to be a lot of fuss

Made of the tourist trade.

So it seems, for us and more

That this town has been made.

Felicity Scott

The sun beat down unmercifully. The land was parched with the heat of the burning sun. My throat cried for water but my scanty rations could not allow me that pleasure. Soon I would be back at my diggings with my two mates, Charles Worchester and Mick O'Neil. But at that moment I still had ten miles to walk. I had enough water for one small drink and I intended to have that at the halfway mark.

GOLD RUSH

The news of gold spread like a forest fire.

Hearts full of hope, men came from far and wide.

They left their jobs, their families and homes

to search for wealth, the red-brown soil might hide.

r trudged on, boredom weighing me down, when a snake suddenly flicked out of the sa'nd and buried its fangs in my thick leather boot. I instinctively leapt back but it hung on like a bull terrier. Again and again I brought my other boot down on its head and eventually the life was smashed ou t of it.

By bicycle and camel train,

in carts and drays, on horseback,

they humped their blues, barrows too,

along the dusty track.

I moved off feeling slightly dazed. Now I was set back even more. My throat felt like the inside of a blast furnace. [ sat down and got out my waterbag. In my haste I slipped and dropped it. AI though I snatched it up again much of the life giving liquid was lost to the desert sands. I kicked at the spot in disgust. The sun shone on the wet earth as if teasing me. Or was it the wet earth that was shining so brightly? I looked closer. It appeared to be a small nugget of gold. I dropped to my knees and started to dig. This was no small nugget. I had unearthed about ten ounces already. I could feel my heart bashing away at my chest as I continued to dig. How big could this beauty be? Finally I had completely uncovered it. I supposed it would have been about four hundred ounces. I could imagine headlines of, "Prospector finds nugget of 400 ounces"! I stood there in wonderment for a couple of minutes but

The alluvial fossicker, the deep shaft miner,

with thoughts of rewards expected soon,

they struck their tents and lodged their claims

in an atmosphere of fortune.

But monotony of sand and scrub,

the barren isolation,

the searing heat, the flies, the dust,

increased the men's frustration.

Some struck it rich, while others died

of loneliness and typhoid,

and the grim toll of many lives

was the priee few could avoid. Nicole Pihu

His bronze stare Looks people over He's seen 'his' town Grow in technology To what it is now He's seen the mining From beginning ~nd probably will 1 0 end.

soon got my wits about me and headed back for the digging.

ABORIGINES

It was late afternoon when I arrived back from the diggings. Charles was the first to speak.

The dust-ridden streets are rugged and wide,

Filled with dwellers who live on the side.

With metho and spear they try to fit in,

The once proud race, the clan with black skin.

"Did you have some trouble David?" Once they were hunters such skill with a spear,

but those days are memories of proud yesteryear

They once were so prosperous while out on the plain,

they had so much pride, till the white man came.

"Quite the opposite," r replied presenting the nugget to the two of them. Their eyes became saucers, their mouths caverns. They stared at it for a while. Then Mick performed a dance of delight, Charles got out a bottle of whisky and we all had a drink before going to sleep.

When the white man arrived they were hunted for sport

they were kicked, they were trampled, they were treated

like dirt, They're not so much different, the clan with the black skin, We were both given feelings, and a heart deep within.

The next morning we set out for the township of 'Broad Arrow'. The usually long arduous journey seemed to take only as long as a brisk walk through a park of our mother country.

Scott Watters

The tellers eyes almost popped out of his head when we presented the nugget at the bank. It weighed up at three hundred and eighty five ounces and fetched a massive

The wind sweeps the plain clean,

the wind shines a red gleam.

The wind fights with the dust,

the wind no-one can trust.

The wind can be cruel, it will reckon the fool

Cemetery Headstones scattered here and there, duly reflect the bright sun's glare. A strong wind whistles through the gates, over rOw after row of forgotten fates.

The wind overflows with vengence,

The wind makes people take hence

But they take hence to late, the powers to great,

The wind.

From beneath a gently swaying tree, an ocean of graves, visitors see. At the crumbling grave of a mining man, I pause to consider how his harsh life ran.

O'ColUlOr

A wise old man had a brilliant notion

to set the local water in motion.

His famous name, C.Y. O'Connor.

Then I faintly hear a parrot's song and a headstone casts its shadow long. Weeds cluster over a child still-born. Her epitaph is now wind worn.

Perth to Kalgoorlie was his plan;

to pipe fresh water to the mining man.

Although this scheme had his great devotion,

throughout the State it caused much commotion.

Nicole Pibu

O'Connor's vision bright was jeered;

doomed to failure, it appeared.

Four hundred miles, and uphill too!

Those who believed him were numbered few.

O'Connor bore criticism and blame,

until at last he feared the shame

of failure, so, one night he stole

to suicide in the dunes near the mole.

But a few months later; it was nineteen-a-three, the water flowed forth for all to see. .' ',_ They remembered him then, with humiliation; " those men who had scorned his great creation.

FORM7W

we wished we hadn't gone as this VISIt only provided Mrs Williams with ampl~ ammunition for the following social studies lessons. I suppose it was for our own good! To round off the term we attended the year 7/8 Social. The whole form participated and everyone agrees that the Social Sub-committee of the Student Council should be congratulated for the organization.

With Mrs Williams at the helm, the year got off to a great start, everyone playing their parts as quiet, co-operative and quite delectable crew members. We even behaved approÂ priately on our first outing to the Children's Festival of Perth in late February, with only two weeks drilling by the captain to prepare us. However, once we arrived at the camp in early March our true personalities were revealed and the captain's gills took on a greenish hue. Although the nigh ts were a bit trying for the staff, all was forgotten during the day. A great time was had by all and our first real friendships were made.

Once again we had a Y7 worship service to begin third term. The class, accompanied by parents and brothers and sisters went to see the film "Phar Lap" on a Thursday evening. Although there were moist eyes everyone enjoyed this outing tremendously and Brett has become an avid "Phar Lap Phan!" The main event of the term was the College production of "Gunslinger." Over a hundred students, including many from 7W and numerous staff worked hard over many weeks to produce an impressive performance. Now with the Athletics carnival only weeks away everyone is practising hard and hoping that their House will be victorious. I wonder who our ou tstanding athlete will be?

In the swimming carnival, glory was brought to 7W by Tim Greville, Simon Woods and Suzanne PillU. The term seemed hardly to have begun when it was time for our first taste of tests. Everyone fared pretty well and there were no heads missing after results were taken home. The school holidays were a time for everyone to look back at their first term at All Saints' College and to gather strength for the remaining two terms.

Well we're nearing the end of a great year with Mrs Williams, and I'm sure that she has prepared us well for the first day we step into a Y8 classroom in 1984. We wish next year's 7W students good luck and hope their year will be as good as ours was. Actually I'm beginning to wonder if Mrs Williams has prepared us for Y8 or Y12?

We opened second term with a Y7 worship service, followed by a visit from a company of actors, who demonÂ strated their skills in a play based on a true story about a French boy raised by wild dogs. Two skilled musicians gave an informative and delightful recital, whieh explained the many elements of music found in song. Soon afterwards we made a day visit to the Alcoa refinery at Pinjarra. We were shown over the mine site as well as the refinery complex. Although the day was the highlight of the term

P.S. The class thanks Robert Crusc amI Peta Burton for being such ou tstanding Student Council representatives and also to congratulate Robert on his success in winning a scholarshp for Lower Secondary.

Much of our work was extremely interesting and we were introduced to Science, Home Economics, Industrial Arts and Typing. Our general class fitness was improved after doing aerobics with a surprisingly flexible, Mrs Wilrnot.

Mrs Williams

Term [l was enjoyed by all. Our excursions to Akoa helped us a great deal as we were studying minerals in Social Studies at the time. We had lunch at Pinjarra and on the journey h.ome many sweets were consumed. We were relieved to hear that our fingers would be given a rest from typing and that we would start learning Italian (that changed to Japanese after a short spell!) We made pottery pieces in Art and did c0pper work in Industrial Arts, Hobbytex and cooking were the words in Home Economics. 7X had a marvellous victory over 7W in basketball where we won 11-6, but unfortunately after scoring and playing extremely well in the netball challenge, we lost ... 21-1 1! (As usual we turned out to be good sports and accepted our defeat graciously). Robin Pearson is to be congratulated on being runner up in the Girls Y7j8 Cross Country. We would also like to congratulate John Dillon for his incredible effort which gained him a place in the top six of the scholarship examination. OLl r congratulations also go to Robert Cruse of 7W who won the scholarship.

FORM 7X The first term was the strangest but most interesting term of all. Being new to the college, h.ardly any of us knew each other and most of the time was spent getting to know our surroundings and each other. Our student councillors, Karen Evans and Ignatius Foo, were chcsen by the class and we would like to congratulate them and to thank them for all they have done. Well, everyone was qUiet at first but later it turned out thJ.t there were quite a few of us who just could not contain ourselves for long.

Term III looks to be an exciting and busy term, however, at times our schoolwork is forgotten. Many members of the class met in the city to see "Phar Lap" and we are all excited abou t the forthcoming social. The Athletics Carnival is yet to be held bu t we have already discovered our star athletes. Sarah Harrison won the Winthrop Hackett ,Religious Art Award for Year 7. Congratulations, Sarah! We have worked on "Pickled People" in Art, embroidery

Excursions were popular and interesting. One was to the Children's Festival of Perth where we saw an extremely well acted play, The Owl and the Pussycat l All the Year Sevens went to a camp at Serpcntine where close friend -ships were formed. The camp was enjoyed by all but

FORM8H

It's hard to imagine that at the beginning of the year, we were all shy individuals, afraid of making friends. A lot has definitely changed since then as we each began to form friendships and eventually feel much more secure around the school.

We have had our ups and downs (mostly ups) and we hope that the next Year Sevens will enjoy their busy year. We all hope to have a terrific year in 1984. Keep your fingers crossed!

By Term II we had "settled in" so well that our teachers dubbed us as the "worst year eights". But we were soon to overcome that nickname under the (professional?) guidance of our somewhat embarrassed form teacher Mr Hanson, and by Term III we had pulled ourselves up to an average again. During the year, Sascha Brand graced us with her Cross Country win, Nathan White made sure that we remembered that he came runner-up for all year eight boys in the Swimming Carnival, and Jason Anderson made it as clear as he could that he could do a somersault into the long jump pit. Monique Robertson and Roger Mellor played unforgettable roles in the production "Gunslinger". Melissa Arendts soon proved that she could laugh non-stop for ten minutes at anyone who made a fool of themselves, and Ashley Gardner showed up very quickly as the class comedian. So, all in all it's been quite a fun and eventful year in 8H and we thank Mr Hanson for putting up with us this year (or us putting up with him). Kathy Lehman

FORM 8P I don't know about 1982, but 1983 has probably been the most unusual, if not exhausting, for Mrs P. We have the greatest range of .... students in the whole school. Callum Fairnie cuts a dashing figure on the ice-hockey field, John Redman always wins OUR academic prizes that he KINDLY donates to us ail, and we have our share of the most famous people in sporting history such as Jeremy Greville (who is our technological correspondent), Lucinda Gould and AJistair Monson. Jeremy also shares Dramatic honours with John Geha and Benjamin Tiller. Stephanie and John have worked hard as our represent atives on Student Council, while Louise continues to smile and Troy continues to talk. We have enjoyed a camp, an excursion and a social this year, and have proved beyond doubt that 8P is the best at EVERYTHING! I could write a book about this class but I won't because I would have to devote at least one chapter to. .. Ben. (Now I know why Mrs Prescott is often exhausted). He keeps me quite bankrupt since I've had to buy abou t fou r new rubbers, because .... he eats them.

FORM 8R At the beginning of the year most of us were new-comers to the College including our teacher "Miss Reasonably recent Ranford."

Anyway, our class has definitely been the best ever and we hope that Mrs P's next class isn't quite so wonderful, as we want to remain in her opinion - the best.

Soon after we began our schooling, Fletcher Barr and Nicole Luke were elected as our Student Councillors and were accompanied by J arrad Grierson who was pu t on the Social Sub-Committee (as this is what he is best at "socializing! ")

Special mention is given to Jacinda Jones who left us because of course, she couldn't stand it! She was replaced by Karl Brearley who has settled in well.

In Term I David Ross and Justin Thompson left us and in Term Il Russell Howson, Sean Cook and Jason Littlewood joined us and quickly settled in. Tony Maley also left during Term Il to go to Jamaica (Did I just hear a "Hoo ray!")

Finally we must say thanks to Mrs Prescott, as I don't think we would have made it without her. Matthew Wood 40

During Term n the "Jump-rope for Heart" was organized by Miss Ranford, which I am sure was enjoyed by every one that participated (even though some people came to school the next day limping and complaining of sore muscles).

We also had our share of brains in our class (and the lack of them too!) as Michelle Robinson and Jeanine Branwasser won awards for their reports in Term n. This has been a great year and we all look forward to coming back to the College in 1984 (All ?!, well about all !! !).

Our class has some members to be proud of, and congratu lations to go Peter Chiang for winning a trumpet competi tion and Russell Howson and Howard Hickman for winning $50 each in the Winthrap-Hackett Religious Art Com petition (who suddenly had a lot more friends after they won?).

There have been many highlights this year, the most memorable of which was the field study camp at Kalgoorlie. May we take this opportunity to thank Mr Bednall for the organization of what was a most rewarding experience. On the Friday before we left many things happened, one of which was meeting a skating priest (we have all heard of the flying nun).

FORM 8S If you glance over to the photo of 8S you will notice a large shiney thing. This is our form teacher (Mr Stapleton) and around him you will see the group of people - 8S students, who have tried (very hard!) to keep him sane through these hard times. But seriously our form has achieved great miracles such as Robert Trinder and his tremendous run in the Cross Country. Also in Interschool Swimming we had winners, Sian Halliwell, Steven Young and Craig Palmer who all proved they came from Murdoch. As well as all that in First Term we were shoved in a bus that ended up at Serpentine Camp. We all had a great time and thank the teachers for it. In Second Term we went roller skating and had a great time but forgot to thank Mrs Knox who organized it.

The Kalgoorlie skating rink gave us a chance to relax and meet some of the locals. They were obviously sorry to see us go as they gave us a send off, bricks and all. Some wanted to follow us back to our 'Indian Village' at the caravan park but this didn't worry Mr Bednall, Mr Brad shaw and Mr Groves. They phoned the police, sent us to bed and armed themselves with the cook's implements, carving knives, etc. (Norman Bates would have been proud). 9B hasn't been without its achievers (although we haven't found any yet). We have, as a group, excelled in the field, in the water and in our studies. Some of us are so versatile that we can talk and chew gum at the same time.

All in all 8S has had a great year and we thank Mr Staple ton who is a swell guy with a head to match. Sarah, Jane, Carolyn, Angela, Craig and Neil

Andrew Dunnet deserves special mention for his achieve ment in swimming, and rugby. Congratulations go to Andrew for making the State Uj 14 rugby team in his first year in the sport. FORM 9B 9B has been an experience for all. We just hope the recurr ing nightmares stop.

hard, but enjoyed ourselves. Whilst we were camping we heard about Form member Damien Gare's, appointment to the ABC National Advisory Council. We all felt pleased, perhaps envious!!!, for Damien who unfortunately was unable to accompany us on the camp. Many students of 9GL competed in lnterhouse Sports activities and some pleasing achievements were noted. These were from Ben Clarke, Mark Meehan, Sheree Tayler and icole Pihu. At times the classroom was ringing with words like "disc drive", "memory banks", "print out", "run", "If then", and "list" from the likes of David Burbridge, Robert Sexstone, David Adams and other Computer Crazee Nuts. Bruce Lee and Joelie May did a superb job in representing us on the Student Council. We all have enjoyed the year and are looking forward to Year 10. FORM 9GL Comment of the year: "Mr GJasheen is our hero as he slept with all us girls at the Camp."

9GL possibly stands for 9's "Greatest Looneys", consisting of Tony (Anthony) Christie, Timothy M. Taylor and Kecly George. Or could it possibly mean some of Year 9's "Greatest Learners" including J oelie May, Sarah Bee, Felicity Scott, Nicole Pihu and Bruce Lee.

Rachel and Tim Note from Form Master

Mr Glasheen soon earned a nickname as "Glashdance" as head of "Glash's Globe Trobbers" Basketball Team in which the "Trotters" annihilated "Maughan's Maulers" in a Basketball game late in Term 1I.

My students are to be thanked for making my task easier by their thoughtfulness, caring and sharing attitude in this my first year at the College. I look forward to working with them for the remainder of their life at our College.

Most of 9GL enjoyed both socials very much and are lookÂ ing forward to the film night.

In Term III 9M and 9GL were bundled off to Kalgoorlie for the Field Study week in which we all worked extremely

But seriously folks, look what he's achieved. He has the best form in the school - 9GR - and that's an achieve ment.

FORM 9GR - CLASS OF '83

Rebekah and Adrienne

Introducing the Class of '83, 9GR. Within this fabulous class we have some star athletes. For example, the two runners of the Cross Country, Cassandra Trinder and Scott Watters.

FORM9M

Our two student Council Members, Rebekah Ogier and Stuart Green, have completed yet another successful term, therefore representing us for the whole year.

Well the start of a New Year and everyone was excited, a little too excited. We think during those first few months we experienced Mr Maughan's HMr Hyde" side a couple of times and it soon settled us down (Eventually).

We find that nearly every Monday in Form room, we hear a near complete roll call when it comes to the library over due books. This is due to the great scholastic interest that 9GR has in books!

9M is quite a mixed bunch really. We have our share of chatterboxes (that is four girls) whom we won't name but we all know, class clowns in Chris Warren and Chris Harley, not forgetting Tony Connors bringing up the rear. We also have our fair share of budding Robin Hoods jn Nick Stacey. Brian Friend, Paul Lawrence, John Beechen and Graeme Burton.

Our camp committee included Christine Klemm, Georgie Hanson, Ian Osborne and Sebastian Consani. What a great job they did (especially the sweets shop).

Our athletes include Rebecca Gulvin (swimming), Eliza beth Male and Stephen Hartree (shOWing promise!) and of course our Student Council representatives Graeme Burton and Rebecca Gulvin.

The absence of Ian Ross and Panda Gardner at our camp did not arouse too much suspicion. It was not half obvious that Mr Bradshaw and Mr Groves have little children when we all heard that the only mug that they had in their house was a "Smurf Cup and Straw berry Shortcake Cup" which they brought (How sweet!)

Although 9M isn't a very academically inclined class it is anything but boring. Several people. not mentioning names, tound themselves lymg on the floors ot D2 regularly.

You all think that Mr Groves is a quiet, subdued sort of character, but at camp he kept half the camp awake until 2am with his and Mr Hargreaves persistent talking.

We may have had other mishaps, but altogether its been a great year, what with the Swimming Carnival, Black and White Social, B.P.T. Social, College Production and most importantly, Camp, and so we're all looking forward to next year! (Who said that?).

David Leighton won an award last term for being the top Year 9 Mathematician (we have yet another Einstein).

Far away, in a Science laboratory, secluded from evident civilization lurks the domain of the 10K. Apparently the College staff had concocted a sly ruse to rid themselves of the bad Year 10 element - by placing their form room inside the science block! Unfortunately for them, they underestimated the student calibre in this "bad element," because there have been a number of achievements by the students proving themselves otherwise. For example both the upper school scholarships for 1984 were picked up by students from our form; Deanne Haffner (who has recently

In the sporting field, our abilities also were apparent. Captains of various school teams included Scott Ritchie of Soccer, Tim Baldock of Rugby and Darren Melior of Hockey, Andrew Tompkin stroked our (school) rowing team, and stood as the Year 10 boy champion at Inter House Cross-Country. Narelle Austin was the Year la girl champion at both Inter-House and Inter-School swimm 4S

The class lOR is pretty well used to each other as it is the second year we have been together, but we had two new arrivals. These being Mr Ringer and Sarah Hawley. It didn't take us very long to "break him in". As for Sarah, she is a traitor coming from "Rossie High" BUT, we were kind enough and accepted her.

FORM lOT

1982's year 9's have now officially become 1983's Year 10's and we're proud to say that lOT has achieved magni足 ficent results from this. This is now our second year as the same form and many of us have improved in our working standards but we're not too good in behaviour, especially in Human Relations much to Mr Tay!or's displeasure.

We had another visitor but she was only temporary. Roberta Tominyani stayed in our form for almost two months and she spent most of her time talking to Narelle and Rache!. Naughty girls.

School has become so much more exciting as Mr Taylor very fashionably parades to us the new season's fashions. This year it must have been fashionable to wear pink socks, yellow jumpers and extraordinary coloured ties as we see Mr Taylor wear so often.

their tremendous acting ability in this year's Drama Pro duction.

Just lately it was a photo taken of someone revealing himself. Unfortunately we cannot see the face.

Human Relations must be the best time of the day to us as we seem to think that we can have 30 minutes of talking. Sonia Reed, Cathy Elphick, Kylie Harris and Penny Trinder hold their Ladies' Forum meeting during this lesson and discuss trivial matters at the back of the classroom. We also had a wedding in H.R. to have a practical demonstration for our marriage topic. Who were our married couple? WelJ, MicheHe Kenworthy and Matthew Edwards were married, with Morag as priest, Karl as the father, Katy Clarke as bridesmaid, Craig Larkin as the "best" man and MechelJe McLean caught thc bouquet.

What makes our class especially special is each personality put together to make one really talented class, and it wasn't until I began to write these form notes that ] realized how different each of us was. Well here's to lOT and a great 1984!

COMPUTER CLUB

DEBATING

Our foundation year had its ups and downs, from trying to start up the computer's Econet memory bank, to trying to stop Ashley Lansley participating in his favourite occupa tion of changing password on everyone else's files.

During the short, but colourful time, the Debating Society was in action, its members were involved in several activities including guided tours of Rockingham, debating on differ ent subjects (at the same time!), victories, defeats (mostly defeats) and competitions to see who could arrive last at a debate. Members of the Society were exposed to much scrutiny, but we also had the pleasure of seeing some very "different" uniforms.

Starting off with little or no knowledge, we have all built ourselves up to be experts in the field. While some indulge themselves in shooting down Invaders or munching ghosts, others of us take the more serious side of writing them.

All in all we had a pretty good time. Neil Gibson

Captain

For achievements we had Mr Groves' brand new printer (160 characters per second) to Peter Shipman's new graphic programmes. During Term Ill, John Beechen and I have been running (or trying to) Monday and Wednesday lunch time Computer Club lessons. For problems, we had the computer breaking down (the Econet did not like getting out of bed on cold mornings) and Ashley running riot with everyone else's files. We also had Jason Baird giving us a headache on how long before he could play his great game 'Wumpus'. Well with all our problems, we are stilI the most popular Club, and on behalf of all the members, I would like to thank Mr Groves, Mr Bradshaw and Mr Glasheen for all the time they gave to us.

HANDICRAFTCLUBREPORT In Term I, Mrs Parker suggested that we make emus (puppets on a string) ou t of wool pieces. So all the girls got together the materials that they needed to make an emu. When the emus were completed, we had emu races around the class room (J oelie May will just have to teach her emu not to run into desks!). In Term II we invited Mrs Roscthorne to show us how to do patch work. We all made at least one pin cushion. Some of the girls went on to tackle some bigger items (Caryn Cheah made a new type of turtle with her pin cushion') This term Hobbytex is our main item on the agenda. Also we are going to do some macrame, tapestry or crochet. Penny Horn

I.S.C.F. (INTER SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP) This group has had a varied experience in ] 983, but con足 tinues to exist with the support of a few faithful members. Activities have included audio-visuals, films, Bible studies and quizzes. One new idea was a weeding day and we wonder whether this may have inspired the idea of a Weedathon for the whole school. The group now meets in the Chaplain's residence and this certainly is much more peaceful than the former classroom.

SCIENCE CLUB ACTIVITIES - 1983 This year, the Science Club had a magnificent experience on our "quest" for science technology. Years 7, 8 and 9 were represented but only a few year 10's were present. Is it true then, that the younger years are more enthusiastic towards science?

It looks also as if 1983 could end on a strong note with a commitment by a number of people to attend meetings regularly, and so enable a more attractive programme to be arranged.

We met every Monday lunchtime to discuss and participate in scientific activities kindly organised by Mrs Kirke and Mr Adams. The interests that we "mad scientists" shared ranged from the dissection of a rat to the testin o for b Diabetes.

K. McIntyre

During Term two, we had a lunchtime devoted totally to the students' own chemistry experiments. We attempted any足 thing to blow up the science lab but this, however, was unsuccessful.

UNDER WATER CLUB Soon after the beginning of second term, the schools first Underwater Club began. In order to become'a qualified member of the club, students had to pass a theory test and various practical exercises.

Mr Griffiths, a visiting student leacher from U.W.A. gave us a very informative talk and demonstration on Chromato足 graphy, which clearly justified to us that science can also be colou rful as well.

When the course first began. oractical exercise were prac足 tised at Heatty Park. These practIcal sessions were Gone on Mondays and Fridays whilst the theory sessions were held the following Friday. During one of these sessions, the girls had some fun. One night there was not enough weights so an anonymous person (male) had to take off the bottoms of his wet suit and do the exercises in his underpants.

Recently we had Mr Podmore who kindly came in and explained the interpretation of satellite photography to

Our first dive in the ocean was also not quite a magnificent success. Our group picked a dive time of 12.00 noon on a Sunday afternoon in June. However, this day turned out to be the cold est day of the month which made conditions a little chilly. This was evident when Andrew Ross had to be carried out of the water because he couldn't walk due to numbnes.s. Poor Andrew looked bluer than a blue ringed octopus. Mlchael Armstrong was also a trifle cold, even though he wore a football jumper under his wet suit and approximately ten pairs of socks. Although, there were a few mishaps throughout the course, It was generally a great success with approximately 90% or

more of the students passing. We look forward to more students joining the Underwater ClUb next year.

However, many students who have learned this simple technique of Meditation are still practising it privately, and gain much benefit from it.

MEDITATION GROUP Towards the end of Term I an experiment was launched to interest a number of students in developing their spiritual growth and relaxation techniques. The aim of the group was to encourage a period of peace and quiet, and to enable students to withdraw brief1y from the rush of their dnily routine.

YOUTH CLUB

As pointed out in the Chaplain's Report, the Youth Club is a joint activity with the Anglicnn parish of Bullcreek, Burrrendah and Leeming. Mr Richard Crew of the Parish has provided most of the leadership in 1983. Activities are now based in the P.A. Centre but have included visits to Fremantle Markets and the Kardinya Skating Rink.

The practice of Meditation is spreading gradually through out many Christian parishes and Independent Schools of this state, and the Anglican Church has organized a number of courses during 1982-3. Our own group began with very large numbers (some merely attending out of curiosity) but in Term II it had settled to about eight to ten members. Unfortunately, due to many other heavy commitments and the lack of a suit· able quiet venue, the group was discontinued in Term lII.

Membership has varied considerably and increased regular support would make the whole of the Club's activities much more satisfactory and attractive.

JMusic

COLLEGE CHOIR fortunately there were a lot of enthusiastIC new members to fill the chorus of 'Gunslinger'. It was hard work but we did it! It was certainly exciting being part of such a huge cast and testing our talents, not only in singing bu t also in ncting.

At the beginning of the year new students were auditioned and admitted to the Choir, thus increasing its membership to over thirty students. With the nssistance of Mr Maughan, Mrs Kirke and Mrs Knox, we began to learn some challeng ing songs, until the time came for us to turn our attention to the CoLlege Drama Production.

The newly formed Choir is now preparing for a present· ation at our Carol Festival in December, and we look for ward to another successful year in 1984.

From this point onwards the hard work really began. Unfortunately a few students were unable to commit them selves to this work and were forced to withdraw. This meant finding new recruits to boost our members, and

the completion of the Mundaring Weir, which was com· pleted less than a year aftcr his death.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HOUSE NAMES 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 find the party of the lost German explorer Ludwig Leichardt. They found no trace of the missing men, but during the following year John Forrest crossed the southern portion of the contin ent from Perth to Adelaide and discovered the Eucla pastoral.

A memorial to O'Connor in recognition of his work was built on the wharf at Fremantle, and a bust of him erected at the Mundaring Weir museum.

SIR JAMES STIRLING was born in Lanarkshire in Scot land in 1791. He will be remembered for being the first governur of Western Australia and his settlement of the Swan River Colony.

In 1874 John Forrest prepared an expedition to explore the Murchison and Gascoync districts, and later published .11S book "Explorations in Australia".

Stirling served in the Royal Navy before he arrived in Australia in June 1829 with his first official party and first settlers in the "Parmclia".

In 1883 Forrest was appointed Surveyor-General, and in 1980 he became Western Australia's first Premier. Many great schemes were developed during Forrest's time in office, but the greatest was the construction of Fremantle Harbour.

He realiLed that explorat ion beyond the Swan River was a necessity and by July, the Canning, Hclena and Collie Rivers had been explored. In 1832, Stirling returned to England and received a knighthood in recognition of his work, despite Illany difficulties. He was officially known as Governor Stirling and his name is perpetuated in the Stirling Ranges. Stirling City Council, Stirling Highway and most recently of all, blue faction at All Saints' College which will be known for generations to come, as Stirling House!

SIR WALTER MURDOCH was born in Scotland in 1874, the fourteenth child of a Presbyterian minister. He migrate 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. In 1903 he was appointed English lecturer at the University where he wrote two books "A Struggie 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.

HOUSE NOTES

After many morc famous books he became Australia's best known cssayist. He was awarded the CBE in 1939 and KCMG in 1964.

FORREST This year, with the addition cif another year of students, Forrest House has been straining at all lengths to win, or eo me close to anyway, in the lnterhouse competitions.

Sir Waiter Murdoch died in 1970 shortly after the announce mem that W.A.'s second University would be named after ~ him.

Our first great achievement was the swimming carnival. With the help of our specially trained tactition, Mrs Prescott. we totally annihilated the three other houses. especially Murdoch. Not only did we win by a couple of hundred points but a large amount of the trophies came our way as well. icole Pihu won the Champion girl for Ye:lf 9, Jeremy Greville won the Champion Boy for Year 8, Kirsty Sickerdick and Suzanne Pil1U won tile Year 7 Champion girls and runner-up girl, respectively. Timothy Greville received the Year 7 runner up boy.

CHARLES YELVERTON O'CONNOR was born in Ireland in 1843. He was cducated at Waterford and Dublin Univers ity where he studied engineering. In 1865 he migrated to New Zealand and was appointed assistant engineer to the Canterbury Provincial Government. 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 project took less than eight years to complete.

Forrest kept up its lead all the way through first term and then into the second where we did very well in the Cross Country. Robin Pearson and Paul Morris from Year 7, Ben Clarke from Year 9 and Stuart Redman from Year 10 all did very well. A special congratulations must go to Elizabeth Jones for coming runner up girl in the Year 9/10 run.

O'Connors most important work was the constructIon of the pipeline from the Darling Range to Coolgard ie, a dist ance of more than 560 kilometres. He received much opposition and criticism which is bclieved to have caused him such anguish that he shut himself at South Beach, Fremantle in 1902. His farewell note contained details to 52

Other things we have won this year are the debating, table-tennis as well as gaining second place in the tennis, chess, quiz and minor games.

O'CONNOR HOUSE NOTES We should be the greatest. We would be if we had have won but we didn't. Well, we still are the greatest anyway.

Outside the school, many students continue to achieve special merit. Callum Fairnie was chosen in the State Junior Ice Hockey team, Stuart Redman was chosen in the Under 16 Australian Lacrosse team and Nathan Pulford gained most promising player.

The start of our year was not so successful coming only third in the Swimming Carnival. Our strengths were shown in continuous cricket, quiz and the 9/ I 0 minor games for which we won the minor games Shield. In the Swimming CarnivaJ congratulations are due to Andrew Dunnet our Year 9 champion and Simon Woods our Year 7 champion boy.

Academic achievements included Deanne Haffner gaining the Year 11/12 Scholarship. Another event in the school in which Forrest played a big part was the production of "Gunslinger". ot only did we make up a big part of the chorus and backstage, but we also had one major part of Huckleberry Smith played by Paul Lawrence and one leading role of One leg John Milton Speed, Jeremy Greville.

We can only wonder what will happen to us during the Athletics Carnival. It is pleasing to see in O'Connor if not in any other house, that there is a great team spirit and closeness between the younger and older students. We are proud to have this in our house.

With our fantastic victory in the Inter-house Athletics (for the third year in succession') it only remains for Forrest to round off a very jub Uant 1983 by winning the Inter house Shield.

Thanks must go to Mrs Kirke, Mrs Williams, Mr Adall1s, Mr Hanson and Mr Bednall (in Athletics) for their great efforts in organizing the best house.

Well done Forrest' Captains are Usa Watson and Travis Butler and vice captains are J oelie May and Bruce Lee.

MURDOCH HOUSE REPORT

STIRLING HOUSE:

Once again this year, Murdoch has displayed their con tinuous talcnts in every field of competition.

Having won the Interhouse Shield in 1982, Stirling House has become the trendsetters of All Saints' Collcge this year.

Even though statistics don't show it l Murdoch over-rules the houscs in team spirit, determination and team support.

Stirling has never been known for its performance in the watcr, howevcr this does not mean we get the 'Blucs'. Our improvement in this year's Swimming Carnival was a tributc to all swimmers. Special mention must bc madc of Justine Jordan's effort in winning the Year 8 girl"s championship and the thrce gorgeous cheer-leadcrs who shall remain anonymous.

Congratulations must go to Narelle Austin, Andrew Utster, Graeme Esslemont for their fine efforts in Swimming. And Cassandra and Robert Trinder for their outstanding per formance in Athletics. A sincere thank you JlIuSt go to the biggest "pinkie-- of them all. Mr Stapleton. for hiS ncver-cnding cnthusiasm and encouragemcnt and throughout the House activities. He is the backbonc of Murdoch and wc could not do with out him.

In thc Interhouse Activities Stirling has again shown its strcngth and dcpth of talent (not to mention tea 11 spirit). Our achicvcments include: Cricket Tennis Quiz Chcss Cross Country Ycar 7/8 Minor Games Year 9/1 0 Minor Gamcs Debating Tablc Tennis

Murdoch House has set out in a most determined way to show all othcrs that thcre is only one mighty Housc. Of course we all know what hous\.' that is, "THE MIGH fY PINKIES,," Nicole Burton, Mark van Brakel Murdoch House Captains 53

First First Fourth Fourth Third First Equal Second Third Third

The senior Cross Country saw a qUinella result with Scott Watters and Andrew Tompkin taking the honours. Both are now believed to be in serious training to accomplish the same result near year.

INTERHOUSE ACTIVITIES 1983 This year has marked a return to the winning dais by Forrest House. They dominated the major events winning both the Swimming Carnival and the Athletics Carnival, and their overall strength in all activities saw them finish the year as undisputed "Champion House".

W.R. Bradshaw House-Master, Stirling House

The contests, both academic and cultural were keenly fought and all Houses have shown excellent team spirit and keen participation.

P.S. To all those students asking to transfer to Stirling House, I'm sorry, the answer is NO!

Now that Forrest House has set the standard for excell· ence it remains for the other Houses to try to wrest the title of Champion House from them in 1984. TERHOUSE TABLE

CRICKET - YEARS 7/8

fu ture seasons if they continue to prac tise and play with the same enthusiasm. Thanks are due to Mr Bob Lawrence for his valuable assistance as coach.

Due to the pressures of time, and the availability of schools willing to challenge the All Saints' Year 7/8 Cricket Team, we were only able to play one inter-school match during Term 1. The match was played against John XXIII College, at their home ground, and the boys played over two days with each team bowling 25 overs.

P. Crane

CRICKET - YEAR 9 John XXIII batted first which allowed our bowlers 10 do their work. They bowled very well, maintaining a tight line and length which frustrated the John XXIII batsmen who found that they had to choose their shots carefully. At the end of 25 overs, they had scored only 86 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

The Year 9 Cricket Team played two games for the season - one against John XXIII College and the other against Ardross. In the first match against John XXIII, the two openers Sebastian Consani and Tony Connors, proved to be a great combination, contributing largely to the score. All Saints' finished with 93 runs for 4 wickets, while John XXIII were all out for a total of 68 runs due to a magniÂ ficent effort by our bowlers.

On the second day, AJI Saints' College batted, with the innings being opened in a very steady fashion by captain Robert Trindcr, and Jason Swiney. They were followed by J ason Gregory, Bruce Loneragan, Brett Hale, Callum Fairnie and Peter Hymus, all of whom batted well. In the 23rd over, the winning run was scored with four batsmen (Robert Smyth, Matthew Dodd, Mark Cargin and Stephen Young) still to come.

In the match against Ardross, our openers once again provided us with the match-winning runs. When Ardross came in to bat, it was to the accurate bowling of All Saints' best bowlers Gary Dixon (one wicket for three runs), Anthony Christie and Sean Tyndall.

I was very pleased with the performance of the boys in all aspects of their play. I am sure they will do well in

Thanks to to Mr Ringer for arranging the matches, and to Mr Hanson for his coaching of the team.

INTER-HOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL

In the early stages of the Carnival, Murdoch and Forrest remained close on points, building up a strong lead ahead of O'Connor and Stirling. By the end of the day, however, Forrest members proved their superioflty with a formidÂ able 1 18 point lead over Murdoch, to become 1983 Champion House.

The 1983 Inter-House SWimming Carnival was held on Thursday, 24th March at the Len Shearer Aquatic Centre in Melville. Staff, students and parents all combmed well to enable a prompt start at 10.00alll. O'ConnOT House, the 1982 Champions. were probably the pre-carnival favourites, mainly because of the strength of their individuals. However, the increase in the number of relay events throughout the Divisions in this year's Carnival, required maximum participation from the majority of House members. Therefore strength in depth, rather than individual performance, was to be the deciding factor in the cnd result.

Final Points -

Interhouse Swimming 1983 Winning House - FORREST

INTER-SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL Tuesday, 29th March was the date of the Inter chool Triangular Swimming Carnival held between Applecross and Melville Senior High Schools and All Saints' College at the Len Shearer Aquatic Centre. The Carnival began at 5.00pm and staff and parents from all schools concerned combined well to complete the pro· gramme on schedule at 8.30pm. All events were well supported and keenly contested throughout the evening. At one time the weather looked quite threatening, but the rain held off and the temperature was quite pleasant for swimming. There was plenty of spirit from all teams, and the over all winner was not known until the final event which was the Year 10 relay. After a very exciting finish, the final results were:Applecross S.H .S. All Saints' College. Melville S.H.S ..

. .. 844 . .. 821 . ... 472

The All Saints' team is to be congratulated for its excellent competitive swimming and it was good to see three out of six championship awards going to the following students. Year 9 Champion Girl- icole Pihu Year 9 Champion Boy - Andrew Dunnet. Year 10 Champion Girl- Narelle Austin

BADMINTON This year Badminton has been played on Tuesday after noons with the professional-like help of Mrs George and Mrs Connors, and we thank them very much for their time. We played away once at St. Norberts' where only one game was lost by All Saints'.

We look forward to the challenge of regaining our title next year.

The end week was probably the best, as prizes for winning were more than applause - Kit Kats and all kinds of chocolate bars I am told.

Each week the student players numbered about twenty, and all members are pleased that they joined, as it turned ou t to be good fun for all. G. Burton

SQUASH NOTES Only a small number of students turned up to participate in the Wednesday afternoon "squash sessions" which were held on a regular basi throughout the year at the Bull Creek Healthworld Centre. In Term 11 a series of Interschool matches, for both boy' and girls', were conducted with Willetton Senior High School and Applecross Senior High School. The results were as follows: BOYS (Year 8) Neil Goldsmith Shane Comley Adam Strunk Fletcher Barr Jarred Grierson 58

One of our newly introduced sports for 1983 was Lacrosse. Being the first season for the girls, we were not expecting brilliant results, but we went out there with determination anyway.

Both A.S.C. teams won their respective competitions and the girls are to be congratulated on their achievement of remaining undefeated for the second year in a row.

In Women's Lacro se, the maximum number of players is 12 and the minimum is seven. Unfortunately we only just managed the seven.

During Term III a combined tournament was conducted with 16 participants (10 boys and 6 girls). The overall champion eil Goldsmith, showed fine skills and talent to defeat Jeffrey Powel!. The winner of the plate com petition was David Adams.

Under the name of 'Fremantle Saints' we were glad to accept three from All Saints' College who were definitely an asset to the team. Our coaches, Wendy Promnitz and Joanne Reeby were always present at our Sunday matches. They gave up their Thursday and Tuesday afternoons also, to come and coach us. Many thanks go to both of them.

A few staff members managed to come down on Wednes days and tried to show their hidden talents. Mr Ringer, Mr Stapleton and Mr Taylor all had a go at trying to beat Or Speed, but the "mighty man" defeated them all the time.

With hard work we managed to improve our game, winning two games and drawing twice in the season.

We do appreciate the interest shown by the staff mem bers concerned as they are a valuable coaching source for our beginners. Finally, I would like to conclude by thank ing Or Speed for his encouragement, support, enthusiasm. and his expertise on Wednesday afternoons.

The girls should be proud of the many compliments directed at them from other teams for their outstanding efforts. Special mention should go to Michelle Kenworthy who was selected for the State Assoclates Team in her first year, and for winning the trophy for 'most valuable player'. Helen Fell also deserves full credit for her enthu siasm and dedication, and in winning the award for 1110st consistent player.

SOCCER

Although we may have lost more than we actually won, the teams that we did play, generally had a greater number of older players and more experience than us. In several games, our opponents went on to the field full of confiÂˇ dence, under the impression that we were going to be just another push over. They were right. However, we did retain a little bit of our dignity by scoring a few late gaals. I feel it would be unfair to single out any individual best players, as the whole team in fact, showed great potential and tried very hard. Finally on behalf of the team, I thank Mr Stapletan for coaching us and for an enjoyable season.

This year has proved to be one of mixed fortun.es far the All Saints' Soccer team. Our overall results were: 3 losses, 2 draws and I victory. All Saints' vs Scotch College vs Applecross vs Melville vs Willetton vs John XXIll vs North Lake

FOOTBALL (Australian Rules)

upon our experiences of this season. Mr Adams and Mr Bradshaw have already begun pre-season training for 1984 and we are negotiating to take Subiaco's place in the W.A.F pL. E. competition.

The Football Team performed admirably this year although the scores in our matches may hav,:: led onlookers to believe otherwise. The quality of our performances can be judged by the fact that we didn't lose a single game ..... by more than 20 goals. This would have to compare favourably with a Soccer side winning by more than five goals in every match or only being beaten by John McEnroe three sets to love. The Team was inspirationally led by Our captain Todd Grierson. Todd's ability was exemplified by the number of occasions on which he could be found helping the smaller team members while gaining 20-30 kicks in a game. Todd was ably helped by Scott Watters who played in the centre ... and on the wings ... and in the forward line ... and the backline ... and the ruck. Andrew Tompkin was another star in the team and he made many of the other ruckmen look like pussycats. Chris Harley literally ran over the opposition and he could be seen "crossing up" often to take the big mark. Other notable performances came from Chris Warren and Dean Alder.

HOCKEY This has not been our most successful season on the hockey field. Our first problem was due to the fact that most of our members trained after school with community-based clubs - thereby making it difficult to find a time that suited most team members. This meant that our teams were put together just a few days prior to organised inter-school matches. However, despite the lack of team training, we were generally able to put up at least a reasonable fight against very strong opposition (Scotch College and John XXIII College) and lose with honour.

You may wonder how we could lose a single game with such a star-studded line up . . . we wondered too!' The reason probably rests with the problem of the other teams not realising how talented we were. Anyway next year we'll make a point of telling them how good we are before each game.

We extend our thanks to Mr Melior who gave us much of his time to coach the few members who were able to train at school, and to Mr Hagan for his assistance in umÂ piring two of our matches. Thank you also to those parents who so willingly assisted with transport, and offered moral support from the sidelines.

One particularly pleasing aspect of the Team's performÂˇ ance this year was the ability demonstrated by the Year 7's and 8's. They always gave of their best and had a determined approach to all g:.lmes. Robert Trinder deserves a special mention for his efforts this year. We are looking forward to a better season next year and should build

HOUSE MID-WINTER GAMES

RUGBY

This year a House Mid-Winter Games Competition was tried for the first time and this proved to be quite a success.

1983 proved to be an outstanding winter season for Year 10 Rugby team, who began the season playing a mode of Australian Rules football, and finished with a sound know ledge of fundamental rules and skills of the game. With this behind us. we will hopefully begin to "scale the premier ship ladder" in 1984.

The venues for the activities were the School Oval, the Hardcourts, the P.A. Centre and Healthworld. The sports in the competition were Badminton, Soccer. Hockey, 1 etball and Squash and all Houses entered mixed teams.

We were beaten in all our Caltex Cup efforts by Aquinas, Wesley and Scotch College, who are all in the P.S.A. with strong rugby traditions backing them. However, the comments these schools made about our performance apparently back my above statement about our improve ment.

The programme was implemented during the double sport period on a Tuesday and Thursday and the main aims of the competition were enjoyment, keen competition and perhaps the most important, total participation. 1 feel bOlh these objectives were achieved and the total combined results were as follows:Yr 7/8 Minor Games 1sI Stirling - 8 pts 2nd Forre t - 6 pIS Jrd = (Murdoch - J pts (O'Connor - 3 pts

The season's awards were presented as such: Andrew Dunnet - Best Player. Graeme Watson - Most Improved. Matthew Edwards - Most Consistent and Tim Baldock (C) Certificate of Merit.

INTER-HOUSE ATHLETICS

TEAM 4

On Tuesday 25th October the students from All Saints'

College, assembled at Len Shearer Reserve at 9.30 am

for their 3rd Athletics Carnival. It was a hard fought

carnival, with very few points separating all four houses, in

fact it was so close that the final relay of the day decided

the winners at the carnival, Forrest House.

The team began the season with great enthusiasm in Junior C2 grade, but won our games by such a margin that we were put up into Cl grade. The team found this grade much more of a challenge but played very well showing good improvement and tremendous team effort throughout the season. The team reached the finals and were very narrowly defeated in the Preliminary final to finish 3rd in the grade overall. The team consisted of Deanne Lambert, atalie Howells, Antoinette Agostini, Kerry Vernon, Julie Brown, Catherine Riches, Kathy Lehman, Kerri Weir and Sarah Geary.

Many events saw the previous records broken and strong

performances during the day came from individuals,

including:

10 champion boy - Stuart Redman (Forrest)

TEAMS When the season started, the team was very keen to play and tried hard in all our matches. As a result of this we won a lot of our first round matches. However, although we improved tremendously as the season went on, the other teams did also and we lost more matches in the second round. We reached the semi-finals but were eliminated in the first game. We could not have made it that far without the support of our coach Mrs Tapper who was always so fair to each one of the girls. Our team consisted of Nicole Hagan, Melissa Arendts, Jeanine Bronwasser, Benita Butler, Elaine Gibson, Louise Grace, Felicia Harris, Carolyn New man and Monique Robertson.

The final outcome of a very enjoyable day was: 1st Forrest House with 1395 2nd Murdoch House with 1380 3rd O'Connor House with 1275 4th Stirling House with 1082

TEAM 6 This team consisted entirely of Year Sevens, many of whom were very inexperienced. However, the girls were very keen and enthusiastic and started the season by coming runners up in a Lightning Carnival. Although the team did not win many matches ... they steadily improved throughout the season and ended the season really playing well together. The team members were Peta Burton, Phillipa Galloway, Rhona Dunnet, Jacinta Hopkins, Saskia Verschoor, Wendy May, Caroline and Susan Whyte and Kirsty Sickerdick.

NETBALL

This year All Saints College entered six teams in the

Canning Districts Netball Competition on Saturday

mornings.

TEAM 1

This season the girls in the team really competed with a lot

of determination and teamwork in a challenging grade.

Playing in this grade was not easy yet the girls played with

continuous effort right through to the last match. By the

end of the season the team had considerably strengthened

their skills and abilities as netball players. The team con

sisted of Emma Geary, Jenny Hewitt, Sonia Reed,

Mechelle McLean, Luise Johnson, Michelle Kenworthy

Rebecca Gulvin and Nicole Burton. Many thanks to Mrs

Wilmot who coached the team and Mrs Hewitt who man·

aged the team.

TEAM 2

The team members were Deonie McCann, Elizabeth Dodd,

Lisa Burton, Barbara Wood, Rebecca Bond, Cathy Gold

smith and Elisabeth J ones. The girls combined well to

gether and displayed continuous effort throughout the

TEAM 3

The netball season for Team 3 began with great enthusiasm

and team effort. Our first round games were quite success

the team was not as successful in the second round and did

not reach the finals. However, all girls enjoyed the season

and tried their best. The team consisted of Megan Young,

Caryn Cheah, Michelle Robartson, Elene Worthington,

Kylie Harris, Fiona Drew and Penny Trinder and Christine

Jolly. Many thanks to Miss Ranford who coached the team

Please pay attention to my call

Before they drive you up the wall.

It all starts in a teenage dream,

But when they're born they're cold and mean.

Sons of evil born, unlatched

By no devil are they matched.

Parents, God knows how they got this far,

But now they know what children are.

Oh please, oh please, don't go too far,

Or you'll end up where the rest of them are!

Yes, this was done in memory

Of the large majority.

Who never live past thirty-three.

So if you wish to be alive,

And run and jump at thirty-five,

Don't have kids alright?

AN ODE TO BEAUTY THE SKY Beautiful, calm and cloudless,

Rising before my eyes.

Maybe there will be rain,

That will pour generously. The dawn is a red flame flashing,

Ready to scorch anyone who comes within her jewelled gaze. The sky turns to a deep blue ocean, Wh ile the goddess of the sun carries her Torch across the world. Small, puffy, cotton ball clouds disappear. Practically lost in the cushions of the velvet. The midday sun rises tu its zenith, Filling the sky with a golden touch. Clouds become wispy and light, Then the blue turns to a deep pink. The setting sun peacefully lays her head to rest. And the clouds disappear into the stillness of the night.

SUN RIDER

"Your name" asked the supervisor.

"Prima Latrius," I answered. "Your passport?" she asked "1 think I have it," I mumbled, "All yes, I do." "That will be all." she replied. One would usually think that I was just going on an inter足 planetary cruise but I was really going on something most men dream about, sun riding. The solar flames frol11 the sun produce vast amounts of potential energy. The wings on the ship are covered with treated solar-cells. Sending Sun Rider hurling into the sun or to go around the sun with the g-force pressures acting like winds sending Sun足 Rider at supersonic speeds as though it were a galactic kite.

My first ride after months of theories, lectures and practice足 run, I climbed in, crossed my fingers and prayed, Finally 1 plucked up enough courage to start her up. The supervisor. as she was expected to do, supervised. She kept a very close eye on my manouevres. "Poor kid," she felt to herself. "he will die surely." And as she had ex足 pected the ship blew up. But there was something unusual about this explosion, he blew up before he even hit the sun. Even homicidal minds such as hers had flashes of incredible pity.

CHILDREN Attention teachers please lake heed here is a warning you need: Children, what a noise they make. Parents' lives are now al stake! Parents who cope must be very brave. Most would quickly seek their grave.

TALKlNG TYPEWRITER

His body was eventually found by a spotter plane.

The idea of a talking typewriter may sound ridiculous. but I'll stake my reputation on the fact that I did see one.

ow he's is at rest in Fremantle Graveyard and hopefully he will rest in peace!

There it was riding down the street busily typing away. I rubbed my eyes just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. It was there. I felt there was something terribly wrong when I thought I heard it knocking at the door. But sure enough there it was.

It occurred to me to read its message that read:

Talking Typewriters ..... lnc Dear Sir,

Would you be kind enough to accept me, a high quality

Rank Xerox Golfball Typewriter?

Yours faithfully, Ernest. Well, being a kind person I accepted him into my home, I couldn't just leave him there miserable and lonely. Well they've taken me away now but I assure you that I am completely sane. If you can afford bail maybe you might be willing to contribute. Please do? And remember if you ever see a talking typewriter tell it "no" or you might just end up where I am. Yours faithfully, Ernest! ! Martin Reed, 7X A soft breeze, slowly Weaves through the large oak And touches one colourful leaf Only enough to make it fall. With slow, gentle ease It floats down, turning twice, And touches the ground. Within a few minutes A quick, strong, ground breeze Picks it up and drops it In it's new home, The gu tter of my roof Where it will not be alone As many other colourful leaves Have dropped there From the very same tree. And settled down comfortably. They all stay there forever nablc to get ou t nless - There is one chance, They are again picked up By the very same breeze And noat out To some other, unknown Future home.

THE FIVE AGES OF ME "M ummy, Mummy!! my parachu te didn't open" Timothy GreviIle cried, after he fell out of a tree head first onto cement. He liked jumping and falling so before you could say "Hi" he was jumping down laundry shutes and off balconies. In high school he made a brilliant discovery of how to make an electric harmonica as well as a sugarless chocolate chip cookie. then at the age of twenty-one he grew very obese, which gave him the idea to start up a network of Health Clubs all around Australia. Out of this venture he gained quite a large amount of money, so he sold his business and retired in a large estate in Peppern:int Grove. He was very unhappy there, so just for fun he appeared on a quiz show for rich men and won a golf course. But the thing was he couldn't play golf. So instead he turned it into a huge garden maze, which was so complex that he could not find his way out once he was in it, and died of hunger.

A jail warden is walking down a long dim corridor. The prisoners who are in their cells start to abuse him. Then they th row things at the warden. He starts to run. Some· how, the prisoners escape from their cells and chase the warden. He dies. The prisoners cheer and clap. They start walking towards the gates. The prisoners are walking in time. Their steps are monotonous and penetrating. They walk ou t of the gates. The ex·prisoners start cheering and clapping again. Walking down the road, they threaten every one they see. They steal some motorbikes and run every one over. They are making a lot of noise. They get off the motorbikes and start their monotonous walking again. A devil suddenly appears in front of them. The devil takes them away and burns them in an incinerator. Karen Evans, 7X

I WISH

I wish my hair wasn't orange And I could keep it blonde, I wish I were older, To be able to drive a car. I wish I didn't forget things, Then I wouldn't be late for class, I wish I was a good fairy So I could help other people. I wish I owned a horse But one that's not too big for me, r wish I lived in the country It would be so quiet. I wish I could rub out mistakes in my life Because, it would be better that way.

EAGLE

High up in the beautiful blue sky,

Thc eagle glides through the air,

Looking and seeking for its prey,

Down it comes right before my eyes.

Swiftly he plummets on a dead kangaroo

Hit early the nigh t before,

Its powerful beak rips at the meat,

Tearing it from thc bone.

Sharon Bryden, 7X

As I walk towards him, slowly unsure

He stands rigid on the kangaroo.

With his beady eyes staring at me,

He thrusts his enormous chest forward.

Within a second his enormous wings are out,

And he once again heads for the sky;

What a beautiful magnificent sight,

This powerful bird is.

NOT MRS FITZ-PAULER! Over the mat she tumbles again,

As she vacuums the lino floor.

The oven bell rings, the cat meows,

And then comes a knock at the door.

A knock at the door - her heart misses a beat,

She wasn't expecting a caller.

Could it be Jenny or Susan or Peter,

Or worst of all Mrs Fitz-Pauler!

And look at the house, it's in such a mess,

Dirty clothes lying around.

The bed unmade, the dishes aren't washed,

And there's toys lying over the ground.

Off to the mirror she races at once,

Some powder, some rouge, some lipstick.

Out with the pins and out with the rollers,

She has to be mighty quick.

She slips on a dress, changes her shoes,

A touch of the perfume ·'Suspense".

Acting so casual she opens the door

Two boys disappear over the fence.

BURIAL

The day was dark and thunderous, and lhe wind was howling long. As the young man from Portsea, wended his way along. A God-like pace on a thundering sea At long last had been won.

He was on his best behaviour every single day,

But never did Pippa pizza ever glance his way.

She was a phony, not more than that.

But did Terry notice that very fact?

Of course not he was encircled in a dazzling dream

Where Pippa was his beautiful queen.

But oh for a catch that would save the day

And feed the hungy bairns.

And he prayed that the 'morrow would bring some luck,

And save them from the end.

He rigged his lines with special care,

For he hoped that this would help.

And maybe he would haul in some fish

Instead of hauling in kelp.

Poor Terry's loving heart was broken.

Until one day the door did open.

In wafted the smell of ink

Followed by a white keyed lass all dressed in mink.

Terry's heart was at once to be mended

And his romance with Pippa abruptly ended.

But the wind grew strong, and the waves did break

O'er the bow of his boat

o God, be gentle with this desperate young soul And leave him not empty of hope. But God had called for this young man,

As the waves demolished his boat.

But he gallantly fought on

To keep it all afloat.

But eventually his clothes became water-logged,

And he started to descend.

He thought about his family and friends

But then it was the end.

Love at first sight was the situation

And Terry set to work to use a little inspiration.

He clattered and banged and clapped his keys

And the little white lass went weak at the knees.

Wedding bells were soon to chime,

As Terry whispered "Will you be mine?"

Ben Tiller, BP PANDA Night so scary,

Tuck him tight.

Hold him closer,

Black and white.

Cigarette smoke drifts through the air humming to the clicking keys. As Terry typewriter gets to work ami his master rests at ease. Little clickers are soon to arrive And boy will that office then be alive'

No longer bright,

Ever faithful,

LONELINESS With a hat in his crinkled old hand,

The old man walked slowly down the pier.

His weatherbeaten face looked into the sun,

To him no-one was dear.

Where is this feeling of happiness,

Where is this felling of care,

What is it like to feel so unwanted,

To not be a part of a pair.

UGH'!

SLOW LEARNING CHILDREN

The poor thing had lived a happy, free life. bu t so short. Though I didn't enjoy disposing of its body, I wasn't upset about it as we hadn't enjoyed its company for very long and no sentimental value was involved.

0 what if we are a bit different Laughing and staring at us like that h, even you do it sometimes

We can't help being what we are, it wasn't our tault.

Firstly I tried to wrap it up and throw it in the bin.

Besides being suspicious, it was too difficult as its limbs

kept poking through the newspaper.

Like all of you, we have thoughts, Everybody may think we are dumb and know nothing A Iright, we may not know as much as you, but we still have minds. R on may be mentally retarded, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. N 0, he has a mind that has thoughts I gnored by most, for they do not know what we go through. Nurses and teachers treat us like babies Gosh, we've passed that stage though some of us still need to wear nappies.

Whilst it was still wrapped in the newspaper, I decided to burn it in the neighbour's incinerator (since we did not possess one ourselves). Well - after I'd done that [ wished I hadn't. It was unbelievable how such an innocent animal could smell so penetratingly pungent. The smoke was flavoured with an odour something like a whaling station during times of slaugher. I, at that time, had a very bad cold and could smell only a few stronger fragrances, bu t this was stronger than any I had smelt in my entire life. Firstly it attacked my nostrils and made me cough and splu tter. Though I inhaled no more, it travelled up my nasal passages with such power I thought it may have done permanent damage. Then it affected my lungs, causing great discomfort, spreading like water through a damp sponge. Worrying only about myself, I left immed ia tely .

Condensed in a world of our own, unable to express our thoughts Hardly anyone talks to us except our teachers who do not know how we feel. I ncapable of doing what we want to do. Looking and watching Dying to learn more things. R igh t throughou t the years we live in our own environment Environment, that can be shared by no one else. N 0, something that nobody else can share

The next day I heard my neighbours complaining about a smell they had recently noticed. That meant I had to get rid of it - quick! In one hand I used a shovel to pick it up and drop it into a plastic bag, whilst the other hand was busy covering my mou th and blocking my nose. I emptied the contents of the bag about lkm away in a vacant block. A week later I returned to find a colony of creatures living on the burnt out animal which resembled the wreck of a plane after a serious accident. Flies were in its stomach whilst beetles had declared either the head or tail as their area (it was difficult to see which end was which). As I turned the remains over with a stick, I saw a group of worms busily eating its breast.

The GODS of GREECE

This made me decide to bury it as from that I could see the ground could dispose of it better than I.

On the crown of Mount Olympus

High up in the sky.

Looking thoughtfully all around them

The Gods of Greece do lie.

John Redman

Zeus is called the father God

Hera is his wife.

Cronos and Ops his parents were

They led a powerful life

AFTER THE RAIN The world after the rain showers is soft, grey, and refreshed. There arc glass-like pools on the pavement. sometimes momentarily disturbed by a newcomer, a tiny, little, colourless drop of water.

Ares is the God of war

His work is rather meaty,

The fair goddess whose rule is love

Her name is Aphrodite.

The leaves of the plants arc sagging under the weigh t of the rain. They are fringed with droplets still hanging onto them.

All these Gods of long ago

Their legends were so brave

Heroes were inspired by them

But now they're in the grave

The birds fly from their hilling places with a happy chirp.

THE BALLAD OF THE MICROBES

NO RETURN

It was too still on Maybury Hill,

Where I at the moment do dwell,

For little did I know, where I was to go,

When earth turns into hell.

That streak of light, which was too bright,

For a falling star to be,

For that was the source, to set the course,

For England to go to sea.

Down in the face, of a huge rock base is a land of no return, The rabbits all glow, the sheep are slow the grass can only burn, Down near the soak, where the frogs used to croak, the land will be alone. The bees don't fly, the lambs don't cry. the wind can only moan, For the white-men mine, the black men pine for their freedom from this case, For down in the hills, above the old mill, is a five mile uclear base. CalIum Fairnie, 8P

The cylinder was gold, the occupant old,

And an awful sight to see,

A head of jelly, soft and smelly,

Made England flee.

That wet, clumsy blob, which had a job,

To begin the awful destruction,

With tripods and heat rays and other Martian ways

To lower the world's population.

THE JUMPS

"Ah, I can remember the good old days when I was only a

youngster," said the old frail man to his grandchildren.

"It was in the summer of 1983 at the V.F.L. Grand Final,

that I first became interested in parachu te jumping. The last

siren had sounded and we were all on our feet cheering

for Hawthorn, who had just beaten Essendon by 100

points. Suddenly out of the wide blue sky came four great

objects. They kept on creeping closer and closer, at first I

thought they were birds until my father said,

Carrie! my love, pretty as a dove

Hoped to be my newly-weJ

But now she weeps, trying to sleep,

Presuming I was dead.

I nearly was, clearly because,

A tripod's foot was near me,

It bent its head, eyes full of dread,

But turned away, leaving me free.

"Son, these great objects are parachutes, one of man's

greatest flying inventions. The men underneath them are

trying to land as close as possible to the centre circle.

As they strode along the road,

The neat rays making their path,

People hoping, barely coping,

That they were at home and hearth.

Meanwhile small creatures with interesting features,

Were slowly destroying the tripods,

Who right now are creating a row,

And people retreat to the Gods.

1 watched as one by one, they came closer to earth and

landed in the spectators' stands.

"Dad," I said, "I could do better than that, couldn't I?"

"I'm sure you could son," came the reply.

"Well, ever since that day I've had nothing on my mind

except to prove that my dad and my family were right.

These small creatures with interesting features

Are only a tiny genn,

Which to the human race are just a trace

And are found in animals such as a worm.

But one small cell could really tell,

If the world is to be saved

For the microbes can kill make the Martians still

Which all the world has craved.

"And you did, didn't you, Grandpop." asked this stary .

eyed little boy sitting near him.

"Yes, I sure did," said the man, gazing lovingly at his

many trophies, "I sure did."

Felicia Harris, 8R

It is now still on Maybury Hill,

Where I again do dwell

For now I know where 1 had to go,

When earth turned into hell

That streak of light, which was too bright,

For a falling star to be

For that was the source, to set the course,

For England to retreat to the sea.

NED KELLY

A WORLD INSIDE A WORLD

Ned Kelly burst in, with armour of tin,

a revolver peered from each hand.

With the hammer cocked back, he said, "Listen here Jack,

I'm Ned, the Robin Hood of this land."

Prisoners of time

And forefathers of hell,

Trapped in the isolation, of a place,

Totally irrelevant to the outside world.

The bankteller grinned, at this man made of tin,

and said, "Dear Mr Ned I've call your big bluff."

Ned gripped his own gun, laughed at this pun,

and blew him into the dust.

Hours come and hours go,

But inside, time has no movement.

There is no beginning

Nor any ending,

Just an inescapable path of life

That goes on and on

Never stopping,

Never bending,

And never leading to anything bu t what

was before.

With the money in hand, he ran with his band,

to the comfort of the Glenwrowan pub.

The police they were near, and his men filled

with fear, fled off and into the scrub.

Ned Kelly ran out, and said with a shout,

"You'll take me not live but deau."

The police opened fire, Ned's wounds mounting higher,

that Kelly's gone mad in the head.

Those on the inside are invisible to those, on the ou tside And remain only as a piece of history Living only in their memories of the ou tside world.

He'd cut down ten, of those bluecoated men,

When he finally fell to the floor.

For the ten he'd given, he'd taken thirty,

And couldn't take anymore.

Time continues And they sink deeper and deeper Into the sheer-faced pits of sorrow Until they can no longer see the light And give up hope And fade away from existence.

In a feeble last try, he pulled to the sky,

and managed to regain his feet.

But a rain of grey lead, caught his proud young head,

the bullet, he'd stood up to meet.

will continue to live on forever.

For the stories are told, by folks young and old

Will Ned be forgotten? No never!

FEELINGS

Cruel nature,

A burden of sorrow,

So lost is the world to hin1,

Useless; waste of life.

Senseless, no emotion,

Twisted beyond control.

Enviable results to past experience,

His helpless life so far.

Drowned in expressionless laughter Â

His spirit lives on.

Bitter, almost non-existel1l,

Oh for the life giving force.

Life continues on,

Whirling past,

Almost destroying him Â

Everything is lost.

the button was a ring. He slid the lever across to one side and pressed the button. A beam of bright green light came out of one end. This was accompanied with a "bsorrp" sound. The beam flew across the street and .... silence. Billy looked over to where the beam had travelled. A young lady was slumped on the ground. He walked over to see what was wrong with her. She was dead. The beam had cut a hole through her brain. Billy got up and backed away in fear. He had killed a person! There was only one punishment for killing someone. Death! Flinging the gun away he turned and ran. '":le kept running until he was out of breath. He walked 1I1to the spaceport which was on his left. The bustle of activity took his mind from the death for a while. Then he made an important decision. He decided to escape to another planet. He walked down to the spacecraft level where the ships rested. Then he saw the perfect escape ship. He walked on board the cargo ship and hid in the hold. At that moment the security guards burst into the space port. They began to search the ships. Knowing he would be found he ran out of the ship and went for the exit. A guard saw him and fired his recently issued gun at the boy. Billy was struck by a beam. He keeled over and hit the ground. He was dead!

John Beechen THE LASER GUN AN EPITAPH

As the artificial sun started to set in New Perth, Billy was

restless. He decided to go outside the city for a walk. He

put on the 'perimeter suit', a suit for walking outside of the

protected area. He took a high speed shuttle to the nearest

exit point and stepped out into the desolate, forblddmg

land called Terra. In his suit he could not feel the cold

ness or the sand grains beating against 11lS legs. He could

feel nothing of Terra. As he walked his eye caught a flash

of light glinting off a piece of steel. He walked over to m

vestigate. There lying on the ground was a laser gun.

Blood lies in your hands a mortal would you have dealt Now this heart bleeds never again will bite How anyone could have hurt someone as you have ... Your lies and deceit I'll never comprehend Return . temple of sacred beauty You exist no more.

Billy did not know what it was. He had never seen this

weapon of destruction. All guns had. been banned from

society years before. Only the security guards still had

access to them and they never showed them in public.

Eliza Foo, 9GR

He picked up this strange looking object and turned it

over in his hands. "What is this?" he said to himself. It

seemed to him to have no use at all. He decided that he

would take this object back into the city and see what

his parents thought of it. When he got home he went to

his sleeping quarters to change into his evening clothes.

When this was done he took the gun down to where his

parents were watching the monitor.

"THE WARY OLD SWAGGY"

The bustling throngs were the innocent prey,

For the lonely-eyed man in the Khaki cork hat,

Bereft of the chance to make fair weekly pay,

The frail and the foolish he reaped from each day.

Neither cold, city neons, lighting towers of stone,

Nor dim, distant moonlight casting shadows forlorn,

Offered solace or comfort to a man without heart,

only "ways to be got through" along hope's long path.

"Mum, what's this?" he asked.

"[ don't know love, ask your father," she replied.

He walked over to where his father sat. "Dad, what's this?"

he asked.

"[ wouldn't have a clue Billy," replied his father. Billy

was confused. No-one knew what this object was. He

decided to find out for himself.

Outcast and alone, a criminal abroad,

Knowing nothing of family - of children adored,

Searching vainly for something he never could name,

His only companions; his fear and his shame!

He went outside and looked at the object carefully. There

was a sliding lever and a strange long button on it. Around

FIRE

HOW THE AFRICAN GOT illS FLAT NOSE

Fire can be seen as a good friend or a bad enemy. It can be used to cook food and keep us warm, however, it can change quickly from a gentle flame to a monstrous killer. Started easily by sometimes, careless humans, either by a lighted match, cigarettes, or a neglected campfire what once could have been a picturesque, tranquil area can the next day be a smouldering black heap. The roar of the flames and the searing heat is part of the wild uncontrollÂ able terror of a fire. Catherine Riches, 8S

Many years ago the African people looked very different - they had pointy noses, not flat as they are today. A little Zulu boy called Kimani was very sad because his extra long and pointy nose was laughed at by the children whose noses weren't so long, and also because flies kept crawling up it and tickling his nose until he'd cried. He tried everything he could. Even the Witch Doctor's Mum-bo-Jumbo magic was useless.

It cured a great many diseases - but not his nose. He tried shrinking it in water and even rubbing sand in it daily, but not a thing happened. Still the other children laughed, and the flies tickled, and he hated it. He was about to go into the jungle to live on his own. One day when he was hunting a swarm of flies went for his nose and they all landed there. He swatted and he swatted them until his nose was so red and hot he went to cool it off in the river. When he saw his reflection in the water he saw a large, flat, out-spreading nose! "Oh o!" he thought. "What shall I do now! Look at my nose it's flat! I'll be laughed at by the other children even more!" Then he noticed a fly on the tip of his nose trying to get in his nostril and tickle it, but it couldn't get in! He was relieved! He was so happy he thought everyone should have a flat nose like him. "THE ROSE"

So that night he stole a sleeping potion from the Witch Doctor and spread it around the village.

The small seed pushed.

A small green shoot emerged from the shell,

It came out of the soil with a swoosh,

It was going to be a rose you could tell.

Then he went thumping everyone's nose until it was flat. In the morning when everyone was up they stared at each other and said: "You've got a tlat nose!" and the others said, "So have you!" Then they noticed flies couldn't get in their noses, and everyone was happy.

The shoot grew and grew,

The leaves sprouted,

It was raining, it got wet with dew,

Then the ground, it rooted.

"oward Hickman, 8R

A small green bud,

Arose from the ground,

It raised its head,

And looked all around.

BREAKUP

The sun shone down,

And the bud opened up,

It listened to the sounds,

It was shaped like a cup.

It is now or never I must make up my mind. I must leave you, but you have been so kind. How can I go and not give a damn when I know You have met this other man, Who holds your attention all the day long; perhaps if I staY,there will be another chance. I may be wrong. To go away now would aamit defeat. For to me you have always been so sweet. How can I lose you, it would be so hard. But I realize you hold the final card To win the game that we played. Thinking back I should have stayed.

A small boy did come,

And took the rose,

A present for his Mum,

And dad I suppose.

That rose did live,

For a long, long time,

For pressed in a book,

A memory in time.

SONNET

THE LONELY FATE OF DEATH

The sun does shine so bright within my heart As pass mine eyes upon thy gentle face; And though each chide gives off a painful smart, I try forgoing it to gain thy grace; And when the sun gives way to show the moon My heart holds out determined like a mace. When by the lake I hear the mournful loon Give I not up until I win the race. So now I write from deep within my heart, To bring back light to shine upon your face, And though it still might bring just more disgrace, Please never do forget your gentle grace; The beauty of your features, bold and blonde Must be the very envy of il monde.

My eyes shall not persuade me I am old, As long as winds blow high and nights have end, But forbid when times grow near, hearts grow bold, Thy life befits too hard to comprehend, Birds and deer wallow in the one pleasure, Man and beast suffer the same denial of breath, Through our great history we lose our only treasure, And thus bodies do descend, take us death, When in disgrace with my pride and men's eyes, I shall alone weep for my lonesome state, And trouble deaf heaven with useless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, All the world knows this well, 'cept none knows well, Shun this heaven, that leads men to this hell.

The sky is black with streaking rain Towering clouds light up and gain Thunder and lightning again and again. The animals shiver and look on high While they cringe at the noise of thunder by Scudding clouds tear across the sky.

Boulders of clouds perch on high Lightning rides the death black sky Pearly raindrops slant down to the earth so dry. Into the valleys dark and deep The life giving moisture slowly seeps From down the mountain sharp and steep. The storm pours forth it's bounty Ultimate and grand And gains at last a reprieve Over the drought stricken land.

THE ACCIDENT

"Life"

It was a busy street on Monday afternoon He quickly rose his hairy hand, to stop the Brown vinegar paper fall to the solid grey cement. His barber-poled shirt sleeve caught the old Sherlock Holmes pipe.

In the game of life

Not everybody succeeds,

But most keep trying.

Sanya Wood, toR

His eyes widened in amazement as his pipe was gently pulled from his dry flaky lips. Firstly it stumbled on the parcels, then it Started it's first revolution. The unlit tobacco Ejected and swam away with the help of The icy breeze

"Fear"

Fear's running scared

Not ever looking behind

In case "they" are there.

Sanya Wood, tOR

The pipe tumbled to its destination like clothes In a dryer. It landed on its bottom with a thud. It lay there with its varnish chipped Showing the bare wood with a hand carved pattern The end came when a large black leather Shoe stepped on it. The pipe exploded like a miniature asteriod in An arcade game, small fragments lay all over The path, lost "Sorry about that, mate"

LOVE IS . .. What is love? Mankind cannot but question

Is it beauty perceived in a rosebud,

Or is it born to break the hearts of men.

Is it for this that man gives his lifeblood.

Does it unfold like a rosebud at dawn,

The future unsure, love is delicate,

Delicate as a rosebud in dew sparked mom'.

'Tis happy as a tinkling rivulet.

It blossoms in all its magnificence.

Alas the rose has not life eternal,

Likewise, love must accept this sufferance.

For mankind, such sadness affects us all.

But genuine love lives beyond the grave,

And we loo k to God's love ou r souls to save.

A RECIPE FOR BRINGING UP A ClllLD?

Take a poor, innocent, unworldly child,

Shelter and protect him from reality,

Lift his hopes by telling him fantasies of Fairies, Father

Christmas and other such lovely lies. Then, suddenly, drop him, .

Thrust upon him the pressure of modern day life.

Fill him with the cruelty, injustice and hoplessness of

today's world. Let this sink in,

Then cram his head with knowledge, figures, facts and sums,

Before dropping him on the end of a dole queue, with

nothing to value, save memories. Then, and only then, can you say, with satisfaction,

"I've brough t my (;hild up the best I can,

I've brought my child up to become a man."

Peter Shipman, tOR

THOUGHTS My thoughts to wander over hill and dale My body left behind a lonely guard Excitedly they fly to hidden plains . Their freedom gained though I rernam steadfast They flee to you and what may be they find Is my true friend and only helpful mentor For me you brIng the sun into my life For love is what you freely give to all. I leave the plains of happiness behind As to this world I am sadly recalled But living in my memory shall I find A friend, a living one truest one of all. Though my friend. 1 am to my life entwined My thoughts of these will never ever die.

EIlen Hickman IOR THE WATER KINGDOM

A soft mirrored surface of silvered steel,

Cool, alive, a world of water and light.

Water nymphs sing and laugh, a merry peal,

Which rings abou t the birches silken white.

Kingfishers and Starlings play above you,

Your soft, loving, gentle song fills my ears,

And carrIes over the fields and glens too,

And awakens gentle forest creatures.

Willows quietly droop; wise and noble,

Below soft moss covers your stone border,

A young swan creases your surface so belle,

And Pan pipes to the weary traveller.

A picture of peace and serenity,

Until night when it ceases so peacefully.

Robert WiIIiams, lOT 81

THE GRAYE DIGGER

ANTS

The old man rises with a weary smile,

And as you look into his sorry eyes,

You see the life has been one, long, tough, trial.

His weather-beaten face conceals no lies.

The creases in his face hold history

Of a life as a mid-wife in reverse,

And death to him is no strange mystery;

His friends the tolling bells, the shroud, the hearse.

He works the soily beds though ou t the days,

Preparing them for souls to rest, until

The day of ligh t descends in glorious rays,

And Christ returns, his promise to fulfil.

But still the faithful servant spades the soil

Until he's called, and someone else will toil.

Who lifted that stone off their nest?

Their city is all laid bare.

They scamper about at their best,

All run, some here, some there.

Who could have lifted the stone?

To leave them unsheltered to smoulder,

Who could have lifted the stone?

To heave the world's great boulder.

That stone is the roof of their home,

Covering the life of their swarm,

That stone is the roof of their home,

Protector from raider, from storm.

Oh stone their strength in battle

Oh stone their earth and sky,

Flat on your back like a beetle,

Quiet, overturned you lie.

Ellen Hickman, lOR

Who turned great stone on his back,

Who did the deed to our King?

All soldiers rush out to attack.

But cannot see whom to sting.

THE FUTILITY OF WAR

Summer flowers bloom from the glowing sun,

Wounded, I lie down drunk by the sweet scent,

Shamefully I think how my life is spent,

Wasted with my companion, my gun.

Is life so dear, living on sacrifice?

Showing bravery, killing is your job.

Fight for your country - servant of demise,

And turn away from woman's grievous sob.

In the battleground corpses lie everywhere,

Soldiers are around showered with lead,

Swords polished with blood daily, should I care?

If opals are red, blood is far more red.

When's the time for all the world to subdue?

For until then shall our life be renew'd.

Big tall invisible ones,

Shadows of terror and doubt,

Or small ones stealers of stones,

Encompass us all abou 1.

Well then it's time for shifting,

Come soldier. come worker, come nurse,

But pardon, my brother, for lifting,

The lid of your universe.

'THE INNER ME'

You do not know the rhythm of my heart,

You do not know the feelings in my soul,

Its hidden message never to impart,

It may be black, black like soot or coal,

As pure and innocent, a beautiful angel divine,

It takes me away on journeys far and near,

Enveloped in a dreamy cloud of wine,

Experience of life may bring a tear,

Song, laughter, joyfully welcome thee,

Happiness unveil the mask your wear,

Enter into my heart, what will you be,

Will it bloom in there or will it tear?

This soulful sonnet written, goes to show

that I am not Will Shakespeare you know.

HOME ECONOMICS REPORT

VISIT FROM WORLD VISION On Tuesday 4th October the Year 10 Home Economics class had a speaker from the World Vision Society, Mr Craig, who came to talk to us about third world countries. His talk was very informative and interesting. We saw a film which certainly stirred a few emotions. Thousands of people, especially children were and still are dying of starvation, malnutrition and minor illnesses in shocking living conditions.

This year's Year 10 Home Economics class has had great fun and learnt a lot of interesting things; even if Barbara and Peta still burn apple pies and atasha and Toni eat half the raw ingredients and everyone generally drives Mrs Parker batty!!! Term I was, cookery and Lamingtons, school staff. shocks from

seemingly, uneventful as we studied pioneer in the process of learning about Pavlovas and either poisoned our parents, ourselves or the International Cookery followed with a few the Middle East and other parts of the world.

We appreciated Mr Craig's talk as it pointed out how lucky we are to Jive in a country with little poverty. On the 18th October the Year 10 Home Economics class went on an excursion to the Perth, State Energy Commiss ion. The class witnessed an amazing microwave oven demonstration in which: a 10 minute casserole; 10 minute cake; 10 minute chicken; 8 minute bacon and eggs were cooked. The vegetables taking 10 minutes to cook inside a plastic bag. We even got to sample the food at the end! The class received pamphlets to keep themselves informed. We would like to acknowledge the State Energy Commiss ion, Mrs Parker and Mrs Johnston for making this enjoy able and interesting excursion possible.

Term II was the really exciting time. We did courses on what different age groups need in the way of nutrients. The fun and games started when we invited the staff members to bring their pre-primary sons or daughters to an afternoon tea! One little boy bashed everyone with balloons and his mother kept declaring he got the energy from his "father", one little girl wouldn't let go of "daddy's" leg till we sat down to eat and another had her father swearing she wasn't such an angel at home. This afternoon was great fun, but the young weren't to be ou t done by the young.

Later in the teml we did a section.on microwave cookery with Mrs J ohnson, a visiting teacher and we even visited the S.E.C. for a demonstration.

A few weeks later we had a group from the Guest Village come for a fancy afternoon tea. At first the visit was viewed with some trepidation as no one was sure what they were going to say or do but within five minutes of the party starting they wanted to know all about us; our school work, our homes, what we did on the weekend and in return they told some marvellous stories abou t their travels, their jobs, the village and they made some interesting comparisons between life today and that some forty or fifty years ago especially those of them who had been teachers. It was close on 4.30 before we all parted after an enjoyable after noon.

Sad to say, we can't take Home Economics for TAE but 1983's Tens wish all the best to next year's brave adven turers.

SPEECH, DRAMA AND FILM MAKING OPTION Storyboard, speech stress, tracking, B.C .U. (big close-up), 18 fp.s., stage left, cutaway, eye-contact ... we learnt something about all of them, and more, during 1983 in Year 9 Speech and Drama and Film-making. Our first batch of films nearly all featured hold-ups and fighting, so in Term II the rule, was NO VIOLENCE! The next rule was NO RABBITS EARS (ask Stuart!) We produced much better films; Georgie Golding and her class will show you how to disappear instantly using a pencil case, and Dean can prove he's been behind bars. The Term III films are all animations featuring, among other things, Smurfs, plasticene picnics, dinosaurs, mobile pens, Smarties and surfn sharks. At the end of Term II every student was assessed at Senior Level 2 for the English Speaking Board. Each candidate gave a talk, read aloud, and told a story, recited a poem or took part in a' short play. Special congratulations to Scott Watters who gained a Distinction (he can spin a good yarn, but doesn't seem to have much luck with his blank films!), and to the 12 students who received Credits. Every足 one worked hard and did well, and the results were a credit to All Saints'.

"TRENDEEZ" Committee "punk rocks". With the success of Australia II in the America's Cup - T-shirts celeberating "our" win were also placed on sale, which proved very popular with students. A bank account for "Trendeez" was opend with the Cann足 ing Bridge Branch of Westpac. The Bank Manager from our Bank came to the College early in the Term and ex足 plained the steps involved in opening and operating a bank account for a business. This was warmly welcomed by students and the Bank Manager was favourably impressed by the questions asked of him at that time.

We are finishing the year with a Christmas programme. Don't be surprised if you see Father Christmas emerging from 06 before the end of the term. P. Broadbent ''TRENDEEZ''

At the commencement of each day's trading the Students were required to collect the "float" from the Bursar and to open the store. At the closing of the day's trading they had to count the takings, make out a pay-in slip and com足 plete a bank deposit slip for that day. Receipts for monies received were issued and orders taken from customers of the store.

The name "Trendeez" came ou t of an idea to give Year 10 students in Mr Glasheen's Business Principles and Office Practice classes, practical experience in the running of a small business. "Trendeez" opened with flair and panache in June of this year. Students were nominated for and accepted various responsibilities in the running of the business, trade name "Trendeez". Directors, Secretary, Filing Clerk, Managers, Sales Assistants, Advertising Consultants and Order Clerks were some of the positions ably filled by Students. Mark Smith of Year 9 designed and supplied the "Trendeez" shingle.

This experience has been a very enjoyable and worthwhile one for all students. We anticipate an even more prosperous trading year, next year.

An electric cash register was donated by Damien Gare of Form 9GL.

Our special thanks to to Mr and Mrs D. Hagan and Mr I Botterill for their assistance and forbearance in the setting up of this enterprise.

Trading, to this point in time, October, has been good and "Trendeez" will be expanding into a bigger business next year.

All students involved in "Trendeez" have designed forms for use in everyday trading and the business even has its own Logo (see above). A roster was drawn up to give students the opportunity of working in the store - this proved enjoyable and successful.

The grateful support of Dr N.E. Speed is also appreciated.

The'store opened for business by trading in such things as stationery, sports equipment and also the "Hurricane" shoes which are a requirement for school wear next year. After a decision by the Executive staff it was decided to diversify into re-selling of the Students own discarded items, such as computer books, games, stamps and even

STAFF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Mr R. Glasheen Co-Ordinator of "Trendeez"

Listening to a talk at 3.40pm on a Wednesday afternoon after a full day of teaching could be almost certain to occasion glazed eyes, or even snores, from many members of an assembled group of teachers. Td rather be marking!'

Might be an accompanying murmur - since teachers, not unlike members of other professional groups, are hard pressed to deal adequately with many of the demands placed upon them in the day-to-day schedule of teaching.

dealing with classroom interaction to those attempting to define education. In addition to the Wednesday afternoon sessions, all staff participated in a one-day workshop, 'Human Sexuality', in which they trialled materials for a project being develop ed by the Health Education Unit of the Public Health Department and sponsored by the Independent Schools' Education Committee.

It is, therefore, to the credit of staff at All Saint's College that a Staff Development Programme operates through out the year, each Wednesday afternoon, with the support and interest of teachers. Most of the speakers are from within the College rather than 'experts' from outside, and topics cover a range of educational issues from those
