Four graduating All Saints' College students achieved outstanding results in the 1989 Tertiary Entrance Examinations. Michael Camarri became the second All Saint's College student to win an exhibition in TE.E. examinations when he received the subject prize for Mathematics n. Three other students, Julia Ellen, Vanessa Lok and Johanne Thomas were all awarded Certificates of Excellence by the Secondary Education Authority for maintaining high standards throughout Year 11 and 12. To qualify for the award a student must receive at least ten "A" grades and not less than a "8" in the remaining subjects. Both Julia and Vanessa achieved a straight "A" record over the two years. Michael had a brilliant scholastic career at All Saints' College and also achieved 100% in Mathematics 1II and an aggregate of 484.5 - a mark any student would be proud of. Michael was presented with a certificate and a medal for his achievement at Government House by Dr Carmen Lawrence, in her capacity as Minister of Education. Johanne has enrolled in the new Law/Commerce course at Murdoch University, Julia in the Science/ Engineering Course at the University of Western Australia and Vanessa in the Science Faculty at the University of Western Australia. In addition to these high achievers, six other All Saints; students finished among the top 2 % of Western Australian students in the particular subjects of English Literature, Italian, Mathematics I, Chemistry, Physics and Art. No special prizes are awarded to these students but this in no way diminishes these fine results. In addition, an English Literature student who sat the English examination as a private candidate received a scaled score of 100%. Over all, 11% of students received aggregates of 400 or above. Not all success is measured by a high tertiary score. For some students, completing two years of study satisfactorily at Year I J and 12 level, and achieving sufficient credit points to graduate is the accomplishment of a personal goal. leachers too are particularly pleased to have helped such students achieve their goals. Over all, 75-80% of the 1989 graduating All Saints' students are expected to continued studying in 1990.

THE PRINCIPAL'S SPEECH NIGHT ADDRESS, 1990

Welcome to this Speech Night which commemorates the tenth year of operation of All Saints' College. We especially welcome as our special guests this evening, our Visitor Archbishop Dr Peter Carnley. We are indeed very grateful that his Grace has been able to fit us into what is an extremely busy schedule in this season of speech nights and we welcome him warmly into our company. Our special guest speaker Professor Fay Gale has already graced us with her most interesting address. Professor Gale we are honoured to have you amongst us tonight, honoured that you have addressed us and honoured that you will be presenting the prizes to the successful students. Like the Archbishop you have many demands made upon your time and so we regard your presence here tonight as something precious. Your university has in the past taken many of our students and so it may be of interest to you to discover from whence they have come. Professor Gale, thank you and welcome. We have as another of our special guests tonight, albeit a regular special guest, Mrs Pam Southwell in whose late husband's name, the inaugural Music awards will be presented. Welcome Pam. To all other distinguished guests, to parents, grandparents, friends and students, a warm welcome. I have followed my practice of previous years and have supplied members of the audience with a printed Annual Report for you to read at your leisure. I hope that you do take the time to read the report. Readers will note that it is longer than last year's report. This is a result of the growing compexity of this College and of the fact that year by year its achievements grow in scale and in stature. If you will, as Shakespeare directed his audience, "Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts:'~ then you will recognise, I am sure, an independent College that has come of age, has shed those pieces of shell connected with its hatching, to be recognised, as an Anglican college with a fine reputation, with a reputation for accepting challenges using a fresh approach and for producing young people who have a strong sense of self, a knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses which has been developed in a context of love and respect for their maker and for their fellow human beings. I encourage you to read the report. Tonight I propose to talk to you on the subject of: MIXED MASSAGES: LESSONS IN COMMUNICATION During our recent trip to Japan, my wife and I were travelling in a Tokyo Subway train when my wife drew my attention to a young woman on the seat opposite. A demure young person, she seemed quite self contained in her thoughts as we went along. It was then that I noticed the words emblazoned on her windcheater. "New York Massage Boys - the fastest in town". Below the words was a drawing of a courier van. Quite clearly the Massage Boys were in fact "Message Boys".

One could look at this as just another example of a problem of translation from one language to another, a problem that many of us have faced when we have tried to find an equivalent from one culture to another. The problem exists equally within cultures. It exists in the printed form, the general visual form as well as in all forms of sign and symbol. At a more basic level it exists in the verbal messages we transmit and receive and in the body language of the transmitter and receiver. Just think of the messages that can be conveyed through these few words delivered verbally, "shut the door dear". Just consider the messages that are transmitted in one year from a College such as ours. Consider such printed output as Parent Notices, the College Quarterly, Calumba, special notices, accounts, Imposition Slips, Detention Slips, Report Forms. I wonder what percentage of these messages are received in the same way that the creator of the message intended? In some respects a Parent Notice that sits at the bottom of some student's bag is transmitted but never received, or else received too late. Even when we are successful with the delivery of the Parent Notice (signed for in the Homework Record Book etc.) we may still not strike home. How many parents or students were in the position of arranging for tickets for tonight - after the advertised dead line? How many people found the order form unambiguous? It was pre-tested on several adults and yet some parents looked for a hidden meaning or saw something that we did not! And so it is that we struggle to pass on messages, we attempt to pass on complex pieces of information to you the parent body so that we can feel secure that you know what we are trying to say to you. Maybe we try to say too much. Maybe we err on the side of complication. 1 remember two reports that I wrote for senior English Literature students. I remember them because they were both simple, a trifle cheeky, but to the point. The first one was the son of the State Manager for Hardy Wines, it read" A vintage year". I said no more, it was understood. The second one was for a student who had made an art form of procrastination, it read, "He needs to do more than smile about it!" If only all reports could be so simple. If only Parent Notices could be likewise. But our lives are more complex and everyone wants to have his or her say; is concerned that important details may be overlooked. We are in a constant struggle to make ourselves clear and to make ourselves be understood. In what might be seen as the more straightforward, the printed form we can quite easily miss the point or create points that as producers of messages we did not see, but the receivers do see. I use the word struggle in the way the South Australian writer and commentator, Garth Boomer uses it, as a positive force or reaction to presented problems. Struggling to be understood and to understand is an all consuming task, but it is a challenging one. At the risk of breaking an implied confidence I offer the text of a note I received in my first year as a teacher (country Victoria, a dairy and irrigation area), it was without punctuation and it read as follows : "dear teacher Peter is late he was milking his grandma". There were many hidden messages and agendas in that note, some of which I was to later expose. On the surface lightly amusing ­ but what did those words really communicate - sick father, 14


There have been several occasions over the years when J have been in my study, faced by a set of anxious parents. Parents who have, they think, reached the end of the road and who have asked for help. The parents may have been shocked by a recent set of events which has revealed aspects of their child's behaviour which has utterly rocked them. For example the child may have been leaving his or her room in the dark of the night and leading a double life during that time, may have become intractable in behaviour, even violent and unruly, they may have been experimenting with alcohol, cigarettes or illicit drugs or simply been in what the parents call "bad company". There seems to be a sense on the part of these parents that they have been singled out for some kind of punishment. There is in fact something universal about it. There are also the mixed emotions of love, hate, anger, frustration, fear, all bringing with them spontaneous reactions which are hard for the parent to deal with. As John White the Christian psychiatrist wrote (1984 p.81) "Parents must be willing to be misunderstood by children. Discipline demands that parents are not controlled by their children's tears. Clear consciences and the knowledge that they are acting in the child's best interests can sustain parents. Properly executed, discipline normally cements a relationship. But vicious words can destroy it, and it is hard at times to know who suffers more, parent or child because of them." White's phrase ... "discipline demands ..." is a key one. The College Homework Record Book has as a deliberate heading, instead of College Rules, Guidelines for Student Behaviour. This is a deliberate ploy because we are looking for a sense of personal responsibility on the part of the child. Discipline does make demands, it is by nature demanding on all participants. We have created a set of guidelines, there need to be clear consequences for stepping outside of the guidelines, the consequences also need to be seen as consistent. Mixed messages seem to emanate from situations where love and security do not exist. The insecurity may come from lack of parental guidelines, lack of parental presence and contact. Love that comes in the form of presents instead of presence is usually rejected by the young person involved. In fact one parent confided in me that the presents that were offered instead of parental presence, were one by one lost, broken or just given away. Children soon reject a "cargo cult" approach even though it is "cool" to have the latest mountain bike or skateboard, these things are no substitute for a caring parent. On page three of the West Australian on Saturday 17th November there was an article entitled "It's not our fault, say crash families". The writers Tom Salom and Danielle Bender indicated " The families of children involved in a fatal 200kmh car chase earlier this year had no idea where the children were at the time and have refused to accept responsibility for the tragedy". News headlines and a "beat-up" you might say, and it may be the case, but can we all be confident about where our children are or about what they are doing? The newspaper article mentioned the term "sleepover". I have found this to be an interesting term, it is in effect an euphemism for not being at home. To some families it means a precise place at a precise time; to some it means something different for the child and something different to the parents. I know of cases where sleepover has meant quite literally fourteen year old girls sleeping in a park near to a party without

no mother, large family, a small boy doing a man's work? Trying to make ourselves clear can be very trying. Language also lays traps for us. We can become victims of our own sector of the culture and blind to the other sectors. As Garth Boomer writes (1976 p.86) there are still "groups who excel in wielding language as a weapon to subjugate, humiliate and mystify ... Medical practioners who were past masters at holding the patient in a state of panic while they peddled their deliberately non-commital diagnosis couched in deliberately vague terms ... Lawyers seem to delight in keeping the masses in ignorance, weaving their abstruse latinate contracts, their affidavits and their summonses, in the name of absolute clarity. Similarly, one could name advertising agencies, politicians, police officers and parking inspectors - all have been known to hold their own humanity in check, by hiding behind a wall of words." One of our roles at this College should therefore be to help the students by providing them with an education in language, education against language empires and education towards clear thoughts in warm and human words. As Boomer reminds us (1976 p.87) "Jargon is the first sign of impending rigor mortis". There is a favourite cartoon of mine which helps to make this point. An old man slouches in a chair, he says, I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think ofmyself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me that deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged. Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime, But I have a great vocabulary. There are lessons for us all here. I have referred to some of the aspects of written language and language use about which we need to be aware and constantly vil,rilant. I have described some of the elements of humour and irony that are the joys of communication in the written form. I have also referred to some ofthe dangers and pitfalls that should be circumscribed by the education that we offer to our students at All Saints'. We as a College, and you as a parent group, need to ensure that we make our written communications clear and to the point, we need to ensure that our intended message is the received message. When it happens that we are unable to speak with one another because of weight of numbers or distance or whatever, and we need to write, let us avoid the cliche from the words of a pop song, "but the words got in the way", we must ensure that our messages are not mixed. I gave the title of this address a particular twist based on an amusing version of translation and I used the word massages. I now wish to make reference to some of the images raised by the term mixed massages by referring to the physical side of communication, the witness that we give to our values, the way we express ourselves through physical means. As a culture we have certain hang-ups about physical communication, I intend here to look at only some of these. I refer specifically to some of the many facets of "body talk" and also to the way our physical actions have either rendered our verbal communication useless or at least they have confused the message. In a sense I am also referring here to sign and symbol. 15


any family having direct responsi bility. Wht sort of messages had gone backward and forward to effect that situation? You might well ask what this has to be with the College? In many respects nothing, but when these things are planned at school or affect the behaviour of the students just prior and just after the weekend, then effective learning can be reduced. These children do suffer a sense of anxiety - when wil they get caught, they shouldn't have done it and so on. This has a bearing on their overall demeanour, it unsettles them and their performance. Incidents to do with this year's Year Nine Social and other incidents related to the infamous "Black Path" and "the BMX Track" have all brought to the surface the fact that the parents had assumed ... had thought that .. . believed that ... Sometimes it is a rude shock. A secure and stable disciplinary structure does help to prevent problems arising. A telephone call, one parent to the other, with the right questions having been asked, should be a standard procedure. What if a problem has been discovered, what then? White suggests the following (1984 p.68) 'Therefore you must establish a new attitude in yourself and a new understanding with your child ... The problem is your child's not yours. You cannot solve his problem for him, so stop trying. Until he wants with all his heart to deal with it, until he himself cries out for help - to Christ, to you - nothing will ever take place. Until that time all you can do is pray and adjust your life to the problem, making what changes you can to protect yourself, your child and the rest of the family from his untrustworthiness." There must of course be an eventual move to the positives. Some children respond to trust. Trust them and they will begin to earn more of your confidence. Be suspicious of them and they willleam to lie and deceive. It is seemingly straightforward but it requires hard work. At the College we aim to develop these sorts of relationships, it is quite disturbing to us how many behavioural problems emanate from situations where parents either do not know the realities of the behaviours of their children in their leisure hours or who do not want to know. We must always be careful that the home situation and the College situation have the same traffic light colours for the same behaviours. Children need to be given the same signals from the adults in their lives. At The College we try especially to live out one of the New Commandments - Loving one another as we have been loved. We will be seen as disciples if we love one another. Part of our love for one another is that we care for each child as one of our own. Care means nurturing, nurturing and guidance. It is to be hoped and prayed that the children in our care sense this love and this guidance and that the guidance in the context of Christian love will be firm and consistent. As adults in a joint venture we hope that the children will see us all in the same light. I take the liberty of quoting from a Gwen Harwood poem entitled "Barn Owl", it is part of a longer poem entitled "Father and Child". The child gets up in the early hours to carry out a task which seems to be against all of the standards of the household.

Daybreak: the household slept.

I rose before the sun.

A horny fiend, I crept

out with my fathers gun.

Let him dream of a child

obedient, angel - mild ­ old No-sayer, robbed ofpower

by sleep. I knew my prize

who swooped home at this hour

with daylight-riddled eyes

/0 his place on a high beam

in our old stables, to dream

lights useless time away.

I stood, holding my breath,

in urine-scented hay,

a wisp-haired judge whose law

would punish beak and claw.

My first shot struck. He swayed,

ruined, beating his only

wing as I watched, afraid

by thefal/engun, a lonely

child who believed death clean

and final, not the obscene

bundle ofstuff that dropped,

and dribbled through loose straw

tangling its bowels, and hopped

blindly closer. I saw

those eyes that did not see

mirror my cruelty

while the wrecked thing that cmdd

not bear the light nore hide

hobbled in its own blood.

My father reached my side,

gave me thefal/en gun.

'End what you have begun. '

I fired. The blank eyes shone

once into mine, and slept.

I leaned my head upon

my fathers arm, and wept

owl-blind in morning sun

for what I had begun. In this masterful poem we have a clear explanation of the wisp-haired youngster trying to rail against and to break into the adult world - in effect being disobedient as an attempt to grow up. But, the parent is at the child's side, whilst the child makes the discovery of the loss of innocence and the beginning of the painful steps towards adulthood. The physical presence of the father, there to be an understanding and firm adult figure, brings together the sense of sign and symbol for the child. That is our role as adults, both as parents and as teachers, to be in a sense an omnipresence, as the young people in our care make their sometimes faltering steps on the universal journey into the unknown, a place where we are all sojourners. There is a sense of joy and trust when people travel together in love. I hope that the massage is clear that we need to be open in our communications and open to the communications of others. I hope that I have given you a clear set of signals and that you will not need to Stop, Wrong Way Go Back - but be enabled to go forward at a comfortable pace. Peace Be With You!

COLLEGE CAPTAIN'S REPORT

"Wat do they doT' "I'm not quite sure ..." Undoubtedly, almost every student councillor and executive member has overheard similar exchanges. Contrary to popular belief though, the student council do actually make progress in those seemingly ever present council and executive meetings. it seems the time and effort that we put into making the school more 'user friendly' qoes unnoticed; perhaps it doesn't? Structural changes seem to be a hallmark of any new council and this year's was no exception. The new system of having eight house-captains and five 'executives' seemed to streamline operations. The house captains, collectively, were in charge of organising the running of inter-house competitions, by no means an easy feat. The actual competition was designed at the beginning of the year during a 'sesion at exec. camp'. The house competition plays an important role in the college, not only for fostering a keen school spirit but also in providing an entertaining opportunity to indulge in a variety of events. This year saw a diverse programme that included serious events such as the annual swimming and athletics carnivals, interhouse concert, basketball, netball and tennis for upper and lower school and the light heaned, brain bash, tabloid sports, and (who can forget!) the hilarious RED faces. Perhaps the most visible (and if you're listening, audible) event the council organizes is the Annual Student Council Ball. This year Kirsten Vickers had the monumental task of organising the ball. To name just some of her considerations, she had to: gauge student sentiment as to where the ball would be held, see if the venue was available, visit the alternatives, make a decision, decide on a band, ensure the band was available for that night and ... the list would continue for as long as this article. I'm sure that everyone that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves and appreciate not only Kirsten's work but Mr Radich's as well. The ball was only one aspect of the entertainment sub­ committee's responsibility however, and throughout the year we have seen numerous socials for all years in the college, each one a reflection of the great deal of effort that was put in. In particular, the Year 10 social in term 3 exemplified the success of council socials, for the first time in A.S.C history, students enjoyed listening to live music by a student group.

Although the student council has an integral part in providing entertainmkent, it also has a fine establishment of community service. This year, through Gemma Carter and her community service sub-committee, we have raised an estimated $3500 and donated hundreds of cans (with food in them) that have been distributed to many different charities. This initiative and support is a feature of the All Saints' student body and we hope that future years continue this worthwhile cause. 'Big Jon and his band of merry men' (referring to Jon Greville and his sub-committee) have enjoyed somewhat of a pressure free year, indeed I've heard rumours of certain council members complain because Jon had a "cushy job". Well its that time of year when the whole college can finally see the product of Jon's hard work. the quality of this publication reflects any accolades that could be made to the publications committee, specifically Jon Greville and Mr Gipson, bearing that in mind, we11 skip the compliments and examine the last (but certainly not the most) headed by Todd Mairs. Certainly the idea of 'Mairsy' and responsibility don't sit well in anyone's imagination, in fact Todd has carried out his role with aplomb - and typically there would be a wisecrack about a grocer with a Comish accent ­ nevertheless, - the finance sub-eommittee sees to it that the student council manages it's funds wisely. To this end the committee and Mr Glasheen have had a successful year. Looking back over the year, I'm sure every year 12 can hear the echoes of Mr London's famous words ... "You'll be surprised how quickly this year goes!" For the student council and particularly the student executive, 1990 has indeed been and nearly gone. It's important to realise the success we have had in operating within the school and I extend my thanks to all student councillors for their support in what is frequently, an onerous and thankless task. 1990's student executive have played an important role in the college and to everyone of them 1 extend my thanks and admiration. We leave the college as a capable, fun-loving (1 actually meant more along the Lines of) team that extend our collective thanks to all teachers, students, Mrs Western (alias Mrs Davies) and paricularly to a team that perhaps eclipses ourselves in terms of their good humour, I refer to the "A-Team", to Mr London, Mrs Kirke and Mrs Knox ... thank-you. Perhaps we are all better to answer the opening question ... Daniel Fick College Captain 1990

STAFF COMMON ROOM

A continued period of stability was reflected at the beginning of the year with very little change in the Staff common room. Three new arrivals were added to the staff list - Moira Hogg to the English Department, Barry Palmer as a part­ time teacher of Music and Margo Whittle who was given responsibility for the introduction of Japanese into the curriculum. Since this stable beginning, however, a small number of staff changes have occurred during the course of the year. The first involved a change in name. Amanda Sturrock joined forces with Brayden Short thus redefining the phrase 'a rose by any other name is easier to speW Their marriage during the Easter vacation as one of the first ceremonies to be conducted in the new chapel (see inset). We wish then both every happiness for the future. Also at the end of Term 1, Ian Sydney-Smith 'received an offer he could not refuse' to return to the Secondary Education Authority as Senior Science Moderator. We are assured that the activities of a certain group of Year 9 boys did not influence his decision. In his place came Kent Williams from PLC. Kent's enthusiasm and commitment has been apparent from the beginning although, perhaps, a source of concern to those of a less energetic disposition. The mid year break was further changes when Sandy Potter replaced Val Baird as the Teacher-librarian and Wendy Gratwick was appointed Executive Officer following the resignation of Kelvin Bartholomeusz. Kelvin returned to Swanleigh as Director of Development, leaving behind many notable achievements not least, the establishment of the C.Q. magazine and many disappointed staff who failed to win the BMW car. Several members of staff have been at the College since its foundation 10 years ago. This milestone signals for those staff the opportunity to take long service leave. Mark Stapleton was the first to be granted such leave, opting to take a full year away from teaching. It is, perhaps, not surprising that Mark should be the first as is rumoured that his application has been on the Principal's desk for some years. Mark, along with his wife Pam, flew to Europe in July. His itinerary is embedded on our brains as he used every opportunity available in the months prior to departure to turn a casual demonstration of interest by an unsuspecting member of staff into a full scale lecture tour. Angela Wilson, who came to us from St Stephen's School, has proved an attractive replacement during Mark's absence. Gerry Schirinzi was also granted leave of absence during Term 3 to allow him and his wife to travel to Italy and other parts of Europe. His place in the Industrial Arts area was taken by Dave Ashmore. The next to take advantage of this method of escape was Marilyn Knox who, in September, accompanied her husband on a years sabbatical to California. These staff movements have created a number of opportunities within the existing staff. David Taylor took ovcr the position of Head of Social Studies bringing to the Department a quiet, reflective, non-eonfrontationalist style of management avoiding wherever possible the temptation to resort to personal abuse. In Marilyn Knox's absence, Bruce Groves was appointed Acting Assistant Principal (Curriculum). Having negotiated the trauma of Speech Night and the thrills of star jumping

Carrol Western demonstrates the lengths to which she will go to collect Absentee Return Slips from certain tutors. 130 feet into Bride's Cave on a recent staff development weekend, Bruce can look forward to the less adventurous task of demonstrating his excellent organisational skills whilst manoeuvering his newly purchased swivel chair. The Head of Mathematics position vacated by Bruce Groves has been placed in the capable hands of Percy Jordan. The conclusion of Term 3 also saw the appointment of Keith Brewin as Head of the Practical and Creative Arts department. This inaugural position places increased strain on the Board room which has now reached bursting point during Senior Staff meetings. The Staff Association has seen a resurgence of interest during the past two years, and especially in recent months since Dixie Joy was elected President of the Association. This election has 19


been instrumental in bringing together the whole staff, both teaching and non-teaching, and we are all the better for it. Dixie's unbounding enthusiasm and directness for everything he is involved in, both on and off the sporting field, could well be the reason why so many staff have now gained some elementary training in First Aid. The end of the year marks some final staff changes. Glenis Bascombe has resigned from the Mathematics Department to take up a similar position at Santa Maria. She will be replaced in the new year by Mrs Marion Kemp who joins the College form the Mathematics Education Unit of Murdoch University. Lisa Watson has taken a lead from her venerable Head of Department and leaves for Europe very soon. Also leaving for Scotland in January is Moshe Price who has secured a teacher exchange to Glasgow. This is the first time the College has been involved in this kind of staff development and it will probably be the first of many. The value of these exchanges is inestimable both to the individual and to the respective schools and we look forward to hearing about the experiences gained in both hemispheres during the coming year. Moshe has been gaining some useful insights into the vagaries of the Highland langauge but P.]. has, so far been unimpressed with his attempts to master the local dialect. It has been suggested that further study in a Glasgow pub would be beneficial. This may also prove painful but it may be an ideal opportunity to, once again, practice those new found skills in First Aid. Ros Grantham is also sadly leaving us after four years as Reprographics Officer. Rossie's efficient photocopying prowess, coupled with her effervescent good humour, will be missed by all. We wish her luck in her tertiary studies in 1991. Thus, with little change in personnel for 1991, All Saints' College staff room will continue its quiet but stable run - though with Stapleton's return mid-year, the volume is sure to increase. K. Brewin

YEAR TWELVE CHAPEL SERVICE 2/11/90

A TEACHER'S ADDRESS

On Tuesday afternoon, I received a phone call in my office: "Gippo," the voice at the other end said. "What are you doing between 6.00 and 6.30 on Friday evening?" The authoritative tones ~ reminiscent of Paul Keating altering a budget or George Patten ordering in another armoured battalion - were unmistakably those of Daniel Fick, College Captain, ace literature student, tight rater (sorry that should read titrater) extraordinaire and apparently executive in charge of the Year J2 service night. "Gippo. You're second choice ~ we would've had StapJeton - but we nevertheless want you to say something about the Year 12's in two minutes, something significant and meaningful, something in keeping with the service." What could I say in reply? Obviously I was honoured - despite being rated second behind Stapes ~ the only response was: "Yes" and something emphatically so. The problem was, how to compress significant, appropriate and sincere into such a short space of time. This difficulty was further compounded because of my relatively short time at the College. My impressions of this bunch of Year 12's could only come from two years of their schooling. However, knowing that the dinner later tonight would ensure that each individual would be covered in more detail - some of it scurrilous - I decided that the best I could do would be to give my best impressions of the year group, a year group that has unreservedly been the best year group I have ever taught in my career. Thus, I have opted simply to give what I call images of the group. They are by no means comprehensive, simply one or two snippets, ideas, vignettes revealing the varied components, personalities and depths of some of the students in the year. Importantly they show the generosity of spirit, the honesty, the friendship, the humour that characterises this diverse and yet complete group of individuals. My first student at the College: Heuchan. Shirt out, sandals flapping. Fourth revision of an imposition - Must be wanting to impress. But who? Not me. I don't start until next year. Someone to be watched carefully. Probably a musician. My first lesson at the College: Year 11 lit. This can't be right, nothing in response. "Feedback" scrawled on the board encourages little but anxious looks to the clock. At the end, Carter fronts. "That's the best Lit lesson I've ever had." I'm floored. I thought I'd failed. It's also the first time I'd ever been thanked in any way by a student for teaching them. My first year comes to an end. I discover that my Year II classes are my friends who stop to talk and offer their time - I know it's not a suck. They ask about my wife, my kids. One buys a present for my new born boy and makes sure the other son is not jealous: he too gets a gift. This year. For the first time in my career I always look forward eagerly to school. It can't be the Bull Creek water, it must be something more. The sight of Mr and Mrs Awj perhaps or Greville's gruff meeting. Hurricane Cole - some one who has redefined irreverence and irony - jibes left and heartens; the inspired silliness of Harrison, Mail'S Wise and Fick as they launch yet another aerial attack on Gumby and Pokey Corporate guardians

of C3. This gives me hope that laughter is more than just a prefabricatcd addition to American sit~coms. Instead it shows joy from the gut. I cannot help but respect the integrity and spirited generosity of the whole group - their gesture to Carol Western in Assembly this week reflects this. Amnesty has never had a firmer set of friends; the environment a more concerned group of supporters. It is not especially difficult to draw something significant from this. To me this Year group - despite all its up and downs, its problems, its difficulties - has demonstrated something fundamental: they care about themselves, they care about others. But, they are not sanctimonious, nor are they self-righteous. They act because they feel; they act because they believe. I do not think as teachers or parents we could expect anything else. This kind of conviction, faith and joy is too often absent in our lives.

CHRISTIAN ALDRICH "Orge" has graced the environs of All Saints' COllege for five years. He has been described as an overgrown teddy bear with favourite sayings like: "What was it I had to do?" and "0 . I forgot" One of the few House Captains who was unaware of House meetings that he was chairing. His reputation as a raider of a fridge is legendary.

NICHOLAS ALEXANDER Nicholas has displayed sartorial elegance at all times at the College. The jaunty angles at which he wears his tie defy gravity as do his non­ computer socks. HIs body­ building interests and the development of a macho image came Into conflict with his hurdling technique at Ath­ letics this year He ran through the hurdles rather than gliding over them. His voice has not been affected in any way and he proved he can run a straight race.

MATTHEW BASCOMBE ,pace cadet number one and keen photographer, Matthew arrived at the start of Year 11 and was immediately cherished by many an eye. He is a Cricket player and Football star of some repute, as well as a fine athlete. Matthew holds the record for the mos overdue library books - "It lust takes a long time to read some books - five months isn't that long". He is philosophical a gentle, individual, well liked by both Staff and Students and his sensitive nature will no doubt be an asset in helping him achieve his career goal- teaching. This of course is his second choice after attempting to become a junior astronaut with N.A.S.A. (hence space cadet No: 1)

GEOFFREY BEAR FOOT Geoff has been at ASC for five years and during this time has represented the College at a student leadership workshop. He has kept his head above water academically which should keep in good stead for his future as a diving instructor

DAVID BARKER David or Barks is one of those highly suppressed chatterboxes who never says anything He's a modest and ' mysterious fellow who describes his academic and sporting achievements quite simply - SINCH' Yet who could deny his skills on the fairway when he won the title of Champion Grass Slider of Year 7 Similarly, playing handball requires a great deal of ability and sklll- something Barks has developed since Year 8. As he sails off on his treasured windsurfer, we wish Barks all the very best of good luck and happy sailing!

SHANIBARR Shani has bubbled and smiled her way into many hearts since she came to All Saints' She has worked ti relessly for Stirling In sporting and cultural activities and has always had time to encourage younger students. As a member of the "Gang", she has occupied the steps during hundreds of recess and lunch times, but there are many more ladders for Shanl to climb and she will

"Mud" is a real buddy. He's been a real leader in Tutor Group because when Davo sayd "Jump" everybody says "How high?" (Mrs Bailey leads the chorus). A tennis player 0 great skill, a member of the winning hockey team, a very cheerful chappy and a great guy to have around.

GEMMA CARTER Gemma will be remembered for her six years of diverse and enthUSiastic involvement in College life. A committed netballer, a dramatic debater and an informed and active member of the Student Executive, Gemma has always given 120% In her efforts. Although she IS considering Law as a career. she has also suggested that she might try teaching.

KYLlE CHAN

ADAM ARNOLD Adam has been a great Ho se Captain for Stirling. He has displayed total commitment to everything at the College except school work I He's been a Co cert Band member for five years and developed some spiritual tendencies as a "Moonie" on the Pilbara Tour apparently. Adam does not regard Greenies as a load of garbage. He takes positive action against Greenhouse gases by cycling (and maybe re-cycling) his rubbish to the tip.

DAVID BUDD

SIMONE BRAND "Mone" is one of the more effervescent students who've graced the corridors of All Saints' College in the past six years. She is a person who always generates positive vibes and optimism. Her role as a rag doll in the Teddy Bear's Picnic dance performed all those years ago when she was in Year 7 inspired her to continue as our reigning Dame Margot Fonteyn helping in the Senior Dance Group and running the Primary Dance Group

PHILLlPPA BROWN Pip has been at All Saints' College for six years and during that time has led a double life. Her teachers see her as a quiet, conscientious student while her friends tell of a wild, carefree and entertaining young lady. This double life will hold her in good stead in her career as a lournalist.

During her six years at All Saints' College, Kylie has impressed staff and peers by her conscientious eltorts In her study and her resulting academic achievements. She is a very accomplished pianist and her talents also extended to he College Band where she was leader of the flutes. She is also a member of the College Choir

KATIA-JANE CHARLEBOIS Our esteemed Cello player, Kate has been an active member of the College Orchestra and String Ensemble. She is a popular, caring young lady whose keen sense of fun makes her good company.

JENNIFER CHESTER DANIELLE BRUESCHKE Danii. the coolest cat, has earned herself a reputation of being a strong-willed, determined young lady who is quite capable of looking after herself in any given situation. Even as early as Year 8 Danii proved she wasn't a girl to annoy lightly. Good luck in the future!

23

Everyone knows when Jennl is nearby. Her ability to shout and gain attention is to be remembered. With this Jenni is also very caring and understanding and many of us have also appreciated her wit over the years. Jenni's most notable role at the College has been as House Captain of Murdoch Her vibrant personality and ability to organise, coupled with her natural leadership qualities have been a wonderful example to us all.


BEN COLE Ben has made a name for himself as a Council Rep .. a jazzy dresser, disc jockey and somewhat Freudian Interpreter of the poetry of Rupert Brooke. He has a particular interest In the published works of Hugh Hefner, too, and that passion is concealed only by his "Love of Ponies" Ben could hardly be described as a Non Entity. even after his performance in the Interhouse Drama Festival this year

LINCOLN DALE Lincoln is our computer man. Attending the College since Year 7, he has nurtured an ambition to one day own IBM, and perhaps supply the College with all its computer needs - free of charge! Well? For the duration of his stay here, he has been ON LINE happily punching away at his VDU accessing his software with a floppy disc!

WENDY COOK Windy Kook, our Albanian girl, (she came to All Saints' College in Year 9 from Albany) is certainly no country bumpkin. Her "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth" looks are very deceptive. Just give her a hockey stick and she'll tear the filed apart as if it were harvest time down in the wheatbelt. Her true talents are in the English and Mathematics fields - the sciences don't even crack a men1ion. Never mind' Life on the farm certainly helped Wendy develop her running skills enabling her to come a close second in the 1500m. A marathon effort, Wendy' VANESSA CORSER Although her mind has been on other things this year, Vanessa has managed to maintain her Secret Service manner She never gives anything away She has shown considerable care towards her mother and grandparents by not allowing them to watch her fall from her horse during the gym hana at the Horse-riding Camp last year

CHRISTOPHER DAVIES Chris is a quiet student in class but his superiority is shown on the sports field. Cricket and football hold a certain curative power - it's amazing how one can be too ill to do a test, but well enough to play lootyl We hope South Fremantle Football Club looks kindly on Chris and ignores his desire to handball through his own goal!

Darren has been a member of All Saints' College for five years. He has been involved in many sporting activities such as in erschool surfing, cross-country and goal umpiring for the "Quit Cup" football team. He's a fan of the Marquis of Queensbury Rules, especially when Scott Olsen is around.

Who do you hear puffing most when there's an Inter House carnival taking place? Bindi! When she's not competing she's busy making sure other students are. Her leadership skills as Forrest House Captain have been outstanding. Over her five years at All Saints' college she has displayed her dedication and zest to school work and extra curricular activities, including Debating, Young Achievers, Peer Support and Netball, where she has represented the COllege at very high levels her contributions to then College have been appreciated by all who are in contact with her

L1NDA FETHERSTON RUSSELL DE BURGH I n his five years at the College, Russ has been described by some of his peers as having a fiery temper and argumentative nature. He has managed to dribble his way around a soccer field. Russ hopes to make podiatry his main feat in life.

Linda came to the "wild west" from the cosmopolitan metropolis, Sydney, when she was in Year g. When asked how she'd like to be remembered as a student at All Saints' College, her quick retort to her History teacher was. "not as a delightful student with a warm and endearing personality and a keen and conscientious role model to her peers I'm NOT a square,," Yet who' can ever

erget the inimitable Miss F.

Perhaps the best way one could describe her would

be a cross between Joan Collins and Greta Garbo.

Nevertheless, our dear Miss F will be missed '

DANIEL FICK PETER DOWNES Peter has been a valued member of the College community by contributing to both the academic and sporting programmes. He's a great Quiz person so he would pass any test "Weekend Australian" cares to publish. Peter is a mature, responsible young man whose motto is "ad astra" because he's heading for the stars in a plane.

FLEUR DOWNS DARREN COSSILL

"nne-Marie. also known as "Ree" or "Shorty" has been at All Saints' college since Year 7 She is one of the most valuable members in all sporting events. She has also achieved College Colours for her contribution in Netball If you can't find Anne Marie on the netball courts, try the canteen line - her meeting place for her better and much taller half.

BINDI FENN

IAN COLLlNS If one wants to find tne inspiration for the highly successful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it surely must be lan. Our resident Nlnla boy is said to be an expert in the martial arts Fortunately, we've never had cause to test him out lan, a quiet and retiring ' fellow apparently cherishes his time ,n Pnysics the most. So that he may never over indulge in the subject. he only spends thirty minutes of a forty minute lesson in class where upon for the remaining ten minutes he leaves so as to be at one with nature. There is no truth in the rumour that he managed to endure a whole forty minutes of Physics on one occasion to complete a test.

ANNE-MARIE EVANS

Fleur is always very well groomed and usually has some sort of accessory in her hair, such as a ribbon. This year, however, she decided to experiment and thought a cockroach might be quite a novel thing to wear in her hair, much to the amusement of Mr Radich and the rest at the istory class' Apart from er fashion flair, Fleur is also an accomplished musician - she plays t e Flute and is a mem­ ber of the College Concert Band which toured New Zealand earlier this year

Probably better known as C.C. (College Captain), Daniel has made many contributions to All Saints' College in the six years he has been here. He has contributed to activities such as debating, Chess, the College Production, Choir, Athletics, Rugby, Football, Swimming, Soccer and Baseball. The most notable contribution made has been in his role as College Captain. Daniel has inspired all of us through his quietness, friendliness and his enthu­ siasm to be involved in so many extra-curricular activities, and has been a tremendous example in his conscientious attitude towards his studies.

TRACEY FREESTONE "Trac", is affectionately known as the mother hen of Year 12, always prepared to give support and help where needed. Tracey plans a career teaching Italian, probably as a result of her great love of Italian culture and heritage. Importantly, she has the uncommon ability to be able to listen to other people instead of voicing her own opinions - she is a thoughtful, generous and trusting individual who has achieved outstanding scholasticresults in her 5 years at All Saints' College. Keep that beautiful smile in action.


AN DREW GOSLING Andrew - "Gossie" to his friends - is a keen sportsman who has left an indelible mark on many of his Rugby opponents. He has participated in a broad spectrum of curricular and extra-curricular activities whilst at the College ranging from playing the trombone to being Vice-Captain or Captain of sporting teams. In Year 7, according to Mrs Williams, Andrew was attacked by a snake! It's true .. after being bitten by a baby dugite he sat in class without telling anyone until his arm swelled up to twice its normal size. We wish "Gossie" all the best for the future.

BRIONY GRAHAM Briony Graham, who is otherwise known as RABBIT because of obvious behaviour and physical characteristics, has been at All Saints' College for six years. Being the most unco-ordinated sports person in Year 12, she managed to trip and land on her face walking away from her exam! Briony's great love for English, her imagination and friendly disposition have had a tremendous influence on her friends.

KELLY GREAY One of the quiet achievers of the College. Kelly has been active in a variety of activities, most notably in Netball for which she has received awards. In recent weeks Kelly has created a new fashion statement at the College by showing more leg than stocking - it is my last pair says she! Kelly will be a success in whatever she chooses to do.

AMANDA GRIMBLY Amanda is a cheerful blonde who is well known to some viewers doing a T.V. Spiderman impersonation in a Bed Shed advertisement. For the five years she has been at the College, "Mand" as she is known to her friends, has been an active participant in sport as well as being a Peer Support Leader. The highlight of her sporting life has been to represent the College in both Swimming and Netball.

MONIQUE HALLIDAY Monique, "Neek" or "Moniq" has won the hearts and souls of everyone at All Saints'. Her charming nature and delicious smile are her most endearing attributes. Monique will be remembered for her generous spirit and her honest friendship. Good luck in the future!

Paul Keating, watch your stop; here is a lad who is likely to take over your job, With a fourth in the "Managing the Austraiian Economy Competition" and a first in managing the All Saints' College staff contributions to Columba, he has proven himself to be an able administrator. During his six years at the Colle~e, Jon has made many contributions to the College Community ­ including his service to the College Band, the Rugby team and the Student Executive.

CLAIRE GRIBBLE Claire realised in Year 9 that thin\ls Victorian were a way of life up with which she would not put so she became a member of the "Gang 0 Ten" and has a new T-shirt to prove it!

Tim is described by his fellow students as being 'a rea! dude who is really wacky and kind and has the most wicked clothes sense!' This reflects many qualities in Tim - his sense of humour, his friendliness to everyone, the way he gives all to the commitments he has made, his carin\l altitude and the way in which he always seems to be in a good mood. Tim has made many notable contributions to All Saints' College - of particular note are his contributions to Basketball, Football and the College Band.

ANDY HIDAJAT Andy has demonstrated on a regular basis that he is a keen and dedicated student. While many of his peers have packed up their study for the night, Andy is just getting into it - four to SIX hours is not uncommon. Good luck in your future studies, Andy!

SIMON HARRISON Simon is the personification of the elusive "Renaissance Man". No one disputes his vast academic skills in all areas of study; but it is his skill in numerous other non­ academic areas that have won him the adulation of his peers and teachers alike. Simon, or Harry the Haz-man, the all round wonderful guy, gave an impressive performance as Chucky in this year's Interhouse Drama - as well as winning the hearts of many a Year 8 girl. "Harry had also lent a new silliness to the study of Literature" quips a Mr Gipson. Obviously the fits of manic behaviour and the manufacture of intricate slingshots are simply a balance on his academic achievement.

NICOLE HEATLEY JONATHON GREVILLE

TIM HEUCHAN

All Saints' answer to Fto-Jo. Nicole, has been a student here for six years during which time she has earned a reputation as the lady with the lightning legs. She has excelled in Athletics being chosen as a member of the Athletics Squad for six years, Nicole has also represented the College in the Swim Team for four years. Her wonderful support of all O'Connor activities and her ever present smile will be missed.

SARAH HEDGES Sarah came to All Saints' two years ago after winning the Year 11/12 Scholarship. In the time that she has been here, she has contributed to College life in many different Her numerous ways. academic achievements and musical contributions have been much appreciated. As the lead in the College Production last year, she was superb. Using her musical talents in an innovative manner, she shed new meaning to Existentialism during a Literature class when she whipped out her clarinet to use as a teaching aid. The class along with a breathless Mr Gipson, were and remain still, stunned!

25

LILY HIEW Lily is very unusual in that she has had to learn to respond to three different names: Lily, Josephine and Delicia. To some Lily appears shy but those who know her well will testify to her very charming and gracious manner. She is very accepting of other people. Her many taients include badminton, playing piano and guitar, reading, relaXing, and being a stalwart of the College Choir.

CLAIRE HILLS Miss Claire Elizabeth Hills, the woman behind the mustard Corolla. By appearance Claire is often considered as bei ng the tough New Zealand girl, ready to attack anyone who calls her honey but few people see the person that is behind the possum eyes. From arriving at the College in Year 10, a Pom disguised as a Kiwi, Claire has played an active role in class discussions in most cases without the permission of teachers yet has still amazed friends and teachers with her academic knowledge. A keen netballer, it is rumoured that Claire has landed a contract from Weetbix hence allowing her to buy her far affectionately known as the Weetbix on wheels. We wish you all the best.

DAVID HOWSON There have been several times this year when David has been alert enough to seek the answers to such profound questions as: "When does this period end?" The philosophical Implications of this are astounding. He employs senior student modelling in his Tutor Group by holding a certain Year 9 student while Ben Cole thumps home a few well­ directed punch-llnes??1


DANIEL HUXTABLE Daniel can always be spotted in a crowd by the colour of his snowy locks. This guy, commonly referred to as 'Hux', is the epitome of the "Quiet Achiever". He is not a man of many words but has proved both his academic and sporting prowess since he has been at the College. He has found owning his own car can be expensive and a hazard in getting to exams on time!!

JOANNE IRVING In her two years in Western Australia, Joanne has managed to recover the lost education she almost had in N.S.w. She has been a flautist in the Concert Band and a flirtist around the College. She's a quiet, patient person who manages to do everything right - right down to hand-stitching patchwork. We are sure she will do well now that she knows that the West is best. Claire is a real party animal and has a reputation for partying wherever two or more people are gathered together. She's been a great supporter of Stirling, a lover of teddy bears and a quiet, gentle person when she's not being rowdy and attention足 seeking. Rock on, Claire!

KELLY JACKSON Kelly has been into everything at All Saints' 足 everything cultural anyway. Her crowning effort at socialising was made during a Physics excursion to Hungry Jacks (and that says it all about the Science Department!) when, with amazing skill and grace, she managed to shower her thickshake over the around another customer. Although she's a Wildcat fan, Kelly swears she didn't know it was THE Amazing Grace (Ricky) she was showering! reil us another one, Kelly.

CRAIG JOSLlN Craig - alias "Humphrey B Bear" has been attending All Saints' College for six years with regular appearances in the Ail Saints' Swimming Team. In recent years his ability to "bunny hop" (in an automatic) and his inability to stop at Stop Signs has earned him certain notoriety in the Student Car Park. Craig has also been known for his terrible jokes, but in spite of this he is a well liked member of the College community and we wish him well in his future career as a Chemical Engineer.

JOANNA KWONG Joanna is a quiet, reserved young lady but rumour has it that once behind the wheel of her white Mitsubishi, a personality change as dramatic as Jeckyl and Hyde occurs. These uncharacter足 istic bursts of aggression, however, may well be due to her eagerness to arrive to the tutor groups on time, an aspect of life which seems to have unfortunately alluded her. We hope, Joanna, that you have enjoyed your short stay at the College.

JOHANNA LANDELS Johanna, nick-named Marth and Mad Dog has been at All Sai nts' College si nce she entered Year 8. She will be fondly remembered for her sporting achievements, namely her participation in the only Netball team ever to score minus four points. She is a happy, friendly girl whose smile will be missed.

STEPHEN KING Stephen, or Ching, has been at All Saints' since Year 7 and in that time has had the most impositions for being too talkative and disruptive than any student ever enrolled at the College well maybe not! No one has ever quite figured how he got his nickname, and even today it is a topic of debate. His prowess on the Hockey field has earned him great respect and his gentlemanly manner will be truly missed when he leaves.

JONATAHAN KINGHAM Undoubtedly there is some link between Jonathan's car and his absences. When he becomes Minister for Education - and he will (he can con his way into anything), he will introduce: 1) Flexible hours at schooi 2) Compulsory licensing for all would-be drivers as soon as they hit Year 11. 3) Two new compulsory subjects entitled: 'Studies in Charisma' and 'How to Rescue Damsels in distress or Stage Lighting Heroes.

TODD LAVENDER This graduate of the Jenny Craig Institute is affectionately known as "Lav". His interests include cricket, the sound of leather on willow and yelling "Owzat" while dressed in creams. The more mundane aspects of College life like having a locker and using a diary for homework recording do not concern Lav at all. His locker key has been hanging in the Head of House, Stirling's Office since May, and, no doubt, the lunch he had for that day must be well and truly ripened by now.

JASON LAWRENCE Jason has been a student at All Saints' College for three years. He has the honour of having been able to drive his "Hack Beast" to school for the past two years. Rally cars are Jason's passion and his ambition is to build and race a rally car in 1991.

L1SA KNEE BONE JEREMY JOHNSTON Jeremy Johnston - "Bucky"'足 started at All Saints' this year, yet his short stay at All Saints' College has seen not only a devastating effect upon the girls in Year 12 but also on the sports field. Jeremy's friendly personality and willingness to give of his best will hold him in good stead for the future.

Lisa came to us as a part-time student in Year 10. Since then her record of attendance has improved dramatically indicating that she did in fact prefer All Saints' College to Penrhos.Lisa, a fitness fanatic took a keen interest in cycling and skiing this year - purely for fitness' sake and not because of the boys she met.

DIANNE L1TSTER . - -...... -...._ -

ANNAKOTAI NATALlE JONES Natalie Jones has been at All Saints' College for six years and after successfully completing Year 12 hopes to become a lawyer. Natalie's claim to fame is that she never received a Friday Detention. We hope that this perfect record can transfer to her driving career.

Anna Spanner has been active in College life and affairs since 1984, which was the last time she arrived anywhere on time, I believe' At least she had a taste of her own medicine recently when Jeremy kept her waiting for an hour after a Tutor Group outing. She is a cheerful, friendly and talented person and we will miss her stunning appearances at College Balls. We are sure that this Incurable Romantic will succeed at whatever she decides to do.

Dianne, the Fish! this nickname clearly shows her excellent achievement in swimming. In fact, she has been an active member of the Interschool Swimming team for five years, and for two years participated in Interschool Athletics activities. It is clear that Dianne has sporting prowess. Dianne is also interested in music. She has been one of the flute players in the Concert Band for three years, and is also a member of the College Choir. Her musical talent was evident to everyone who attended this year's College Concert. Being a friendly and nice person, Dianne is certainly a valuable member of the College community.


SIMON LUSCOMBE Simon, better known as the BONANZA MAN or the BANDIT has had a colourful career at All Saints' Colle\le. Even today, Bandit remains the record holder of the most red mark entries and impositions held by a Year 7 student. His reputation preceded him so much that in Years 8 and 9 he was given a reserved seat in Friday Detention class Bandit failed ' to comprehend why Mrs Marcos would find it annoying that several typewriters were not functional after he's used them. Nor did he really understand why a certain Assistant Principal (Administration) would want to give him front row seats during Assemblies .Just because he preferred to play basketball at that time.

TRACEY MAIRS Tracey Mairs has been a part of the current Year Twelve's for five years. Coming from a private girls' school was a shock to her system but with a twin of the opposite sex, she seemed to fit in like clockwork. Her interests include Art and the Theatre demonstrated by her direction of Murdoch's House play this year. Her future career, she hopes, will lead into the path of hospitality. Here I'm sure she will be a positive member of this community. Tracey has been a shoulder to lean on over the last five years.

TODD MAIRS Todd Mairs, Todd the Bod or Mai rsy has been at the College for six years. He achieved Academic Excel­ lence in Year 10 and has been Secretary/Treasurer of the Student Council Executive in Year 12. He enjoys Basketball and Guitar playing and will be best remembered for his impromptu wise cracks and his impersonation of the Pink Panther!

L1SA MCCORMICK Lisa joined the College last year and has been a popular student amongst her peers and the staff. This happy litlle vegemite aspires to be a Florence Nightingale, and hopes to study Nursing In Sydney. I'm sure many future male patients' pulses will beat faster as she administers her nursing skills.

PETER MILNER Peter, the great lateral thinker, the Bertrand Russell of Year 12 is an avid reader, in fact he's the best read student at the College. His teachers wish that some of his reading had been course material. In Physics he has the ability to surpass even Einstein. Watch out for his books all you Physics lovers.

TRAVIS MONSON Travis Monson: The apple of many young girl's eyes; only one has been lucky enough to succumb to his charms. Travis passion for Basketball made him an obvious for BGR's Tutor Group when the House System was adopted. We hope Travis will put the energies he expends on the Basketball court into his future studies.

TAREN MURPHY 'Spud', as she is known to her frrends, can be hea\d humming Irish folk songs In Tutor Group. She has expressed the opinion that there should be more compulsory sport and physical education in the curriculum. Her two years membership of the Concert Band where she played the flute came about because of her hero worship of James Galway.

VICKI NEGUS Vicki has been a keen supporter of her Tutor Group and despite frequent absences from it she still regards it as the perfect start to her day. She has been an enthusiastic member of the College Dance Group and has been seen dancing to the accompaniment of a flute, played by her friend "Spud".

SCOTT OLSEN Scotl adores making himself known to people and not in a quiet shy way. He is never short of a word and will remind others without hesitation of their shortcomings - usually in a very loud voice. His Year 12 trick, which amused absolutely no one, was to pull chairs out from under people. He tried it on Natalie Cossill as a means of impressing her. (Natalie is not Scotf's current girlfriend!) Is this the reason why Scotl is known as Darren Cossill's punching bag?

VANESSA MOORE CHRISTINE McCONVILLE Christine is one for sharing her appreciation of all sorts of things. In Tutor Group she has shown three new faces every day just to say "Thank You" to Mr Balding l She has been a diligent student and a fantastic netballer, mainly because she sets high standards for herself. One day, we will see her name in lights.

CHERYL McCOOL Cheryl, nicknamed "Cheezel" has been a student at All Saints' college for six years and hopes to become a Pri mary School teacher Cheryl's greatest claim to fame is her trusting nature. Her ambition in life is to help people as much as possible which should be an easy task to accomplish, as Cheryl is a very loving, caring and

Ness has been at All Saints' for three years and has apparently fooled her teachers into believing she a quiet and sedate young lady. Her friends assure us that she's quite the opposite - in fact Ness is capable of sustaining a conversation with anyone, even the next­ door Labrador! She is an avid theatre goer but has her mind set on being a policewoman following her success in that role in the production of "The Beast". Best of luck, Constable Carel

JONELLE MULLlNGS PSI's Tutor Group breeds House Captains extraordinaire. Jonelle is one of the breed. She was an adoring Girl in "Joseph" and she is still adored by many. Her performances in The Dance Groups have been outstanding and not even an All Saints' uniform can disguise the Sugar Plum Fairy-ness of "Mull"

sincere person.

JUSTIN OSBORNE Since his debut in Year 8 Justin has been very active in the sporting arena. Representing the College in Athletics, Rugby, Basketball and Football, his prowess in these fields earned him colours and a small following of Year 10 girls. Oz, as he affectionately known, is a very loyal friend with a funny sense of humour.

BRADLEY PARKER Brad Parker, known as Parks to his mates, has been the Happy Snapper at the College over the last few years and has earned College Colours for an outstanding contribution to College Photography. Parks hopes to study Commerce next year and follow in his father'· footsteps.


AMANDA PARSONS Amanda has been at All Saints' for two years and she has been a quiet achiever in that time. She hasn't found it difficult making new friends but she does impress as a shy person. She has aspirations to join the travel industry so she should be a good contact to have when the economic situation allows us to have enough spare cash to spend on overseas holidays.

SARAH PRESSLEY Sarah is a mature member of the Year Twelve group. She has contributed to the College Community through her involvement in the College Band. Sarah has an ambition to work with children when she leaves school.

TIMOTHY RUSSELL Tim, nicknamed Trusket, has been at All Saints' College for the past two years. During this time he has been an active and valued member of the College's Cricket and Football teams. He will be remembered by all for his friendly and happy disposition.

KRISTEN PRUMMEL NATALlE PICKERING Natal ie, better known as Nanna Pickles, is an all round wonderful gal. She's a calligrapher par excellence; avid javelin thrower; water skier; great student and a super O'Connor enthusiast. Don't let this give you the wrong impression - if you're on the wrong end of her little sarcasm, watch out I

ELlCIA PITTS "Leesh" has been a member of the All Saints' College crowd for a I-o-n-g but joyful five years. Known to everyone for her infectious laugh, she is always ready to party or provide one of her famous impersonations ("Norton, my friend l "). She is also always prepared to lend a helping hand or listen to a thrilling weekend story in Monday's Tutor Group. Keep on partying, Leesh!

Kristen, the Big Red Keg, is a lady with whom only those who have a death wish mess with. She is a no-nonsense girl who way back in Year 8 developed her unique personal philosophy: "I'm never wrong, I know, I'm perfect". Rumour has it that our very own Big Red Keg developed the philosophy and the personal attributes that go along with it to an 8xtent that when given a look of disdain by Big Red, even Joan Collins would quake in her boots. The Target Emporium was quick to recognise these qualities employing her to work on the Refunds Counter. Funnily enough, that counter doesn't seem to be very busy anymore!

DAVID RANSON David is described by his friends as a happy, smiling, non-conformist individual, who knows the inside of Mrs Kirke's office very well. A U2 fan with a still noticeable Pommie accent, David wants to be a guidance counsellor, a role he has practised with considerable success during his time at All Saints'.

STEPHANIE SAUNDERS Stephanie has been a student of All Saints' College since 1987. Stephanie has a tenacious spirit and an occasional ferocious tongue. In her spare time Stephanie is a keen sailor. She wishes to pursue a career in Marine Biology or Law and we wish her the best in the future.

ALEXANDER SCHWETZ Alex has contributed considerably to class activity. His level of activity increased markedly with the invention of the duracell battery. In his capacity as Diplomatic Negotiator Extraordinaire he has perfected the phrase "Can I have another mark?" One of the leaders of the resident hyperactive gang.

GWEN POON Gwenith or Gwenny is known to be a quiet and hard­ working girl, but the truth about her is that she is VERY talkative and is never home in the evening because she is always out for dinner at her friend's place. Gwen has been here since 1989. She plays the piano extremely well and likes reading and playing tennis. She is also on the Student Council Publications Sub­ Committee. Gen hopes to become a lawyer.

REBECCA POSTMA This blonde bombshell has really taken strongly to the whole "greenies" issue, so much so that on a daily basis she visits the garden shed to make her regular inspection of whatever it is down there that is of interest. Dixie Joy, the head Horticulturalist at All Saints' College still hasn't worked out the attraction but would love to hear your advice Bec! Bec is a creative and artistic person who aims to be a hairdresser when she leaves school specialising in the waterproof root perm - there's nothing worse than green hair and a droopy perm after a swim in the pool'

WADE ROBINS Wade has been at All Saints' for six years. During this time he has been an important contributor to the sporting life of this College. His presence has been particularly felt as Captain of the Swimming Team. In recent times he has picked up an interest in French matters, near the locker areas. His dry sense of humour has often been noted. In Assembly he incessantly asks 'Is this very boring'? In Tutor Group he was heard to say 'Mr Taylor, I'd have been in it, but I didn't know about it! Actually I haven't been paying attention for the iast few weeks'.

KIM SCOTT Known as the Blonde Bombshell of All Saints' - this young lady is no dumb blonde. She has been awarded College Colours a record four times for Sport, Debating, Netball and Touch Football and has held her position as O'Connor House Captai n and Student Executive member with finesse. Kim will be always remembered for her somewhat loud laugh and sunny smiie, and her loyalty and friendship.

NEIL ROWE Nei I has won the Nelson Piquet Award for Driving Excellence. This comes as a result of an event earlier this year when Neil put his stunt driving skills into practice by attempting to execute a U­ turn in front of the College into the path of an oncoming motorcycle police officer. Fortunately, an embarrassed Neil was let off with a caution and allowed to continue with his driving lesson. We believe that since obtaining his licence, he hasn't been picked up by the police.

TIM SEWELL Tim is a thoughtful caring student who inwardly sees himself as suave, superior and a potential cinema idol. This technique has proved successful with some of the Year 8 girlS. Tim's independent approach to thinking has manifested itself in Physics where he doesn't believe Newton when it comes to things falling but believes that his Physics teacher has rigged the results.


BRONWYN SHAW Bronwyn's five years at the College have been characterised by her unique approach to life. Although she will be remembered for her committed (and aggressive) contribution on the Netball Court, her other hobbies - such as frustrating her teachers and extending her weekends - should not be forgotten. Bronwyn's ability to set her mind on achieving something and then determinedly doing so will serve her well. At last, though. she has achieved her greatest ambition: leaving school.

JEREMY SKEPPER Alias Alby Mangels, Jeremy has beena student at ASC for the past six years, During his time at the College Jeremy has been a valued member of the ASC cricKet team and has participated in the sports of rugby and soccer

STAMATlS SKIADAS No one could be blamed for believing that Stamatis was really a public servant who adhered to the policy of flexitime. His record of late arrivals accounts for this. Yet this deviant scholar impressed everyone - even Doe Simpson would stand aghast when "Mardie" was able to score upwards of 99% in a Chemistry test without even studying. This ability in Chemistry was outmatched by his prowess on the basketball court. Despite all his abilities, Mardie was known to retreat from reality during Economics by pulling his blazer over his head and pretending to be a rug. When asked to explain: "I don't like the world, leave me alone, I want to be a rug so that everyone can walk over me!"

TRAVIS SMITHSON "Trav" or"Mad Dog" has been at A.S.C. for six years and in that time has earned himself a reputation for his prowess in extra-curricular activities, His miraculous feats as he propels himself down the athletics track at the College or Perry Lakes (or Albany Highway) are eclipsed only by Ben Johnson.

TERENCE TAY Terence of the 'green machine' has enjoyed life in a carefree happy-go-lucky way until the SEA moderator came to stay and scared away the carefree feelings. He was so keen and enthusiastic about some subjects that he even turned up when he was no longer doing the course! Don't go driving with this speedster - he can have an accident in his own driveway

JUSTIN THOMAS Justin is another quiet achiever in Stirling. He is a polite, cheerful person who is always eager to help. The Industrial Arts staff are very relieved that Justln's time at All Saints' has come because he has caused them considerable frustration before he eventually finished his work. He's known as the RAC. man, because of his car! He's a keen water-skier and we wish him well with his pursuits next year.

ALEXANDRA CLARE TAYLOR Alexandra Clare Taylor, is the third Alex Taylor from the same family. Better known ­ and answering only to Clare, she has been a very positive and reliable influence in the College and Stirling. She is quick to get involved, and always does it well.

MATTHEW TOMPKIN rommy is the last of the Tompkins to attend this College, unfortunately for the College. He has fashioned and tuned a great skill at repartee. However there are in fact some details that still need fixing, Has your father returned from the North-West Shelf yet, and could he sign your Homework Record Book please?

HARTONO TEDJOKUSUMO Although Hartono was one of the college's better known "part-timers", he has shown he is capable of achieving well academically. Good luck in your tertiary studies in Engineering.

REECE TONKIN Nicknamed 'Geese', Reece is well-known at All Saints' and beyond, for his Basketball talent His aim in life is to be happy and successful in his ambition to be a chemical engineer. Reece's great claim to fame is his height and also his distinctive haircut. He is a good friend to all who have had the pleasure of knowing him

SHARON TEE Sharon or "Shaz", as she is better known, is described as being incredibly friendly, delightfully witty. and universally liked by everyone at the College. As half of the Spielberg duo, she stunned the audience at the Interhouse Drama Festival this year with her inspired directions of the immortal classic Chuck Chunder of the Space Patrol. yet she is renowned for living dangerously: especially if it means challenging Mr Taylor's authority in Economics, actually admitting to being President of the Gough Whitlam Fan Club.

ISABELLE TROLIO Isabelle has really contributed plenty in the form of services to the College ­ first flute in the College Concert Band and various other activities that enhanced the life of the College - like being the life of the party on the New Zealand Tour. She's well liked and is her own person and is not afraid to act as she thinks best - especially when it comes to returning library books - but we love her.

DANIEL SODERSTROM "Soders" has certainly kept us all on our toes with his quick wit and daring bravado. ThiS unique character has developed the skill of being able to talk his way out of any given situation, Even dear Mrs Kirke has had to almost apologise to Soders for asking him would he please attend assemblies if she gave him a front row seat? They say that a leopard can't change his spots. Soders went so far as to prove that humans too could have spots when he came to school with a somewhat interesting and unique hairstyle of blonde dots earlier this year.

BOON-LEONG TEO A recent import into All Saints' College, Boon quickly adjusted to the demands of a new education system in a new country. Boon is a no­ nonsense fellow who appears quiet and reserved but his close friends know only too well his humour and quick wit. Boon is one of the few people who can appreciate the sound of trees moving in

Wind.

JENNIFER VAN DER STRAATEN The girl with the beautiful smile, Jenny is best G.K in the Netball team. Her generous nature and love of kids should enable her to become a great primary teacher - with her height she could keep any class in check


KIRSTEN VICKERS Kirsten, the Iconoclast, Kirsten the individual and Kirsten the honest, are all titles that sit comfortably on the shoulders of this power­ packed bundle of joy. She ruffles feathers, she's forthright and she's a well­ respected member of the Year 12 group. We all appreciate the work she has done for the College especially organising the Ball this year and she has won a place in the hearts of many because she's Kirsten.

MATTHEW VOWLES During his time at the College Matthew has practised diligently, and with varying success, arriving at class on

time. If practice makes perfect, we can only assume thal his future employers will benefit from what has been denied his frustrated teachers. Matthew has gained a level of proficiency beating his drum kit. Beating inanimate objects proved a useful strategy in the Quit Cup final. Knowing Matt's sensitivity to U.V. light we were relieved that overcast conditions prevailed for much of the season.

JANE WADDY Jane is a woman of few words bul get her going and she'll rave on. She has been al All Saints' College for six years and is fanlabulous at Swimming and has Colours to show for it. She's a great friend to anyone.

JANE WALSH Janice, sometimes known as Jan-Fan, particularly by "the gang" has been at All Saints' College for five years. She has proved herself to be a caring and sensitive friend, and a keen member of her House Stirling. Next year she intends to attend Business College, the same one as Claire with whom she has been friendly since kindy.

PAULA WATTERS There were bets on as to whether Paula would be marked ABSENT at the Year 12 Dinner. Mr Whipp has the book. She has been a member of the "Gang" who staked out their terrilory on the steps near D Block. Her support of House activities has been untiring and her all round niceness has made her special. We'll remember you, Paula. Good Luck.

KELLY WHEATLEY Kelly Wheatley - Bickie for short - wafts around Dianna­ like with her long fair hair cascading over her blue robes. She has a great personality. Replied to a comment on her Record of Personal Experience 'I would like more opportunities in anylhing. Ha! Ha!'

STEPHEN WISE Step hen, one of the veterans of the College has attended All Saints' for six years. Through his cultural contributions to the College Band with his amazing trombone and his sporting feats, especially for Murdoch, Wisey has made a big impacI on All Saints' College. Stephen will be missed by all next year when he continues studies as an archl ec .

WEI LI (WILLlE) WONG . - - - - - -..... Although Wei Li has only been with us for one year, he has readily adapted himself to the life of the College. His immediate ambition is to be accepted into UniverSity. Wel Li sees himself as stubborn and determined, which should help him in his future career (Engineering).

KIRSTEN WOOD Kirsten, or Kurly, or Kirsty Pirsty, is another of All Saints' ParHimers who happens to be a model student. Her greatest claim to ame are those noo-noo's or lack there of. This year, Kurly tried to have Club Bay View made IntO a regular C and S peflod - It didn't work, but someone orgo to tell Kirslen Ihat.


ITALIAN EXCHANGE STUDENT

Elena Revel Chion arrived at Perth International Airport at 3.00 am on 23rd June. She comes from a town called Ivrea in Northern Italy and she won a scholarship to come to Australia an exchange for two months. She was hosted by the Travaglione family. Elena came to school every day. She really enjoyed school and she even liked the uniform. At first Elena went to different classes but after a couple of weeks she took to "hibernating" in the Italian room. Elena made many friends at school, all ages, and helped Mrs Maio in her Italian classes. Elena was nearly always happy and the things she sometimes came out with made everyone laugh. "Helloi, 'ang on 'ang on, bewdy mate" and swearing (unknowingly) in English. are a few examples of things she said that sounded so funny with an Italian accent. Elena saw quite a lot of W.A. in such a short time. She went to two farms, Albany and other places down south. King's Park and all over Perth. She loved Australia and didn't want to leave. The farewell party and saying goodbye at the airport resulted in everyone in tears. She loved all Australian animals and things and she liked the people very much. There was only one thing about Australia she didn't like and that was vegemite, but she loved Pavlova and everything Australian. At first we thought Elena might be a bit shy, but she quickly proved us wrong. She is a bubbly, happy, fun-caring and sometimes outrageous person. Elena made a lot of friends during her stay and she will be missed by many of us, however, those going on the Italian Trip in December might have the chance to see her again. Ciao Alicia 7i'avaglione

EXCHANGE STUDENT

When 1 first applied through Rotary I honestly didn't know much about what it would be like, staying away from home for a whole year and I certainly didn't think I would be the one to be selected and given the opportunity to experience another culture, another lifestyle and different people. 10 be an exchange student through Rotary is very safe and secure, even months before I came to Australia the Rotary Club kept in touch and gave me information. I also appreciated the early contact by All Saints' College, which is very important. I am staying with four different host families in Perth during my year which is quite usual if you are a Rotary exchange student. A lot of people in Australia have asked me why I wanted to come to Australia and why 1 wanted to come to Perth? This is a very fascinating question which you have to experience to understand. A couple of years ago I wondered why anyone wanted to come to Norway on exchange, but the fact is that each and every country has something different to offer and you don't realize it until you have been to one. I found a lot of things different when I first arrived. Although I came from summer in Norway to winter in Perth I have to admit this weather was just like the summer in Norway. I just can't imagine what the summer will be like.

The meals are also different, back in Norway we eat tea about four o'clock and do sports or whatever after tea. The school situation in another country may be a problem, but even from the first month I started at All Saints I felt that I belonged and I found both the students and staff very friendly ~nd helpful. In Norway we don't have school uniforms or private schools, so this was a new experience for me, even though I've just been here for a couple of months I have experienced so much, another lifestyle, culture and another language. The English language which 1 use constantly is improving. I have also picked up new words induding slang words. 1 look forward to the rest of the school year particularly to the Australian summer.

OTSUMA GIRLS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL - HOMESTAY VISIT

On July 26th, 27 students and 2 English teachers arrived at All Saints' College to begin a 15 day visit to Perth including a two week homestay visit with our College. Student from all years and staff provided a wonderful homestay experience for the Japanese students. While in Perth the students wanted to see the typical Australian lifestyle as well as the tourist sights that are a must to see.Tours of Fremantle and the Blue Gum Camel Farm visit were some of the highlights. During the two weeks, the students were able to visit some normal lessons at the college and were fortunate to have the opportunity to make for themselves a useful product from West Australian wood to take home to Japan. This was made possible with the assistance from the Industrial Arts Department.

Home Economics lessons with some of the Australian students,cooking typical Japanese dishes and Japanese students cooking typical Australian dishes also provided an interesting and amusing challenge for both students and teachers. On most days during their visit to the College the girls had English lessons to try and help their communication skills while on their visit. The visit was a success and gave an insight into Japanese culture for some of the members of the college community. Thanks must go to all of the host families,Mrs.Knox and Mrs.Kirke and all other staff who contributed their time to make this visit a success. Mrs Margo Whittle

ACC INTERSCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL

Those who could make their own way to Beatty Park managed to get there without many hassels,but for those of us that were catching the bus weren't so lucky. We could get to the school by 8:45, no problem, but finding the right bus was like finding a hair on Mr Stapleton's head. Still we arrived at Beatty Park (via Rockingham and Mandurah) that sunny Tuesday morning with determined spirits which were displayed when the swimming began. Out came the sun glasses even though we were in the shade for the most of the day. It only took the cheer squad about 2 hours to build the enthusiasm of the school and soon we were chanting with the help of certain squares of blue cardboard. Towards the end of the day the schools enthusiasm depleted, as did our food supply, and after the few dismal efforts to start a mexican wave were abandoned, people became more interesed in different conversations rather than supporting the swimmers. The carnival was extremely successful for All Saints as we won all the sections which were: I. Junior Boys 2. Junior Girls 3. Senior Boys 4. Senior Girls 5. Overall Boys 6. Overall Girls 7.

INTERSCHOOL ATHLETICS

Fifty students who displayed commitment to after-school atWetics training were rewarded with an invitation to attend an Athletics Camp based at the Mandurah Holiday Village. Several formal training sessions were complimented by games of touch football, beach activities and aerobics. Video replay of training sessions and individual techniques provided a valuable source of feedback to both student and coach, in addition to stimulating much laughter and lyrical comment. The camp was widely enjoyed and successful in achieving improved physical performance and increased motivation. A special thank you must go to the Parents and Friends Alison Hollands in the lead at the Interschool Athletics Carnival.

CRICKET

The All Saints' 1990 cricket team can be proud of their efforts throughout the summer. While many others were going home on a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, our team was often still out in the field. We rarely got back before 4.30pm. After a shaky start, the team 'dug-in' and proceeded to steamroll every other team in both the ACC and Coca­ Cola Cup competitions. This was probably due to our bowling prowess. In many matches we either bowled the opposition out for minor scores, or defended totals of only 100 runs. This was aided by the state of our turf wicket which caused many innocent batsman to come to grief and made for a shorter game. However, credit must go to our bowling attack, spearheaded by Matthew Bascombe. Matt's aggressive approach and pinpoint accuracy led to a great number of dismissals. His figures included 7/14. At the other end, Matthew was complemented by Mitchell, Church, or Huxtable. Both Dan and David had five wicket hauls. Dan Huxtable also proved to be the most reliable of our batsmen. His consistency in the face of adversity gave him the nickname "Rock of Gibraltar Huxtable". Our batting lineup was formidable, to say the least. On many occasions we had first rate batsmen, occupying all of the first 8 or 9 positions. Of these, Travis Srnithson deserves mention for his consistency. David Church also proved to have the qualities of an all-rounder. Of the rest, Jeremy Skepper had a great strike-rate. Half-centuries were scored by Travis Smithson, Todd Lavender, and (almost) Matt Bascombe.

Todd led the side well. His leadership always seemed to bring us through. His leadership was complemented by his batting and bowling performances and he was an invaluable member of the team. Todd's knowledge and experience of cricket helped us in many tight situations. The other members of the team played some great cricket as well and made the games thorougWy enjoyable. Chris Davies took an endless amount of catches and his fielding was particularly good also. This was reflective of a generally high standard of fielding throughout the team. The wicket keeping was reliable. Although if half the stumpings and catches behind the stumps had been given out, we would have done much better. Mr Bartholomeusz was a dedicated coach. As a team we were really impressed by his commitment, whatever he lacked in umpiring ability. He was also able to stand up for the team and in this way formed an integral part of it. We also appreciated his tips and knowledge. There were only two games in which the team were beaten: the ACC grand final and the Coke Cup semi-final. However, for an All Saints' Cricket team, to come that far was a great achievement. We were the first school to beat Mazenod for a number of years and our season provided many fond memories. Thanks must go to the ground staff, Dixie Joy, and Justin Osborne for their support. J Johnston

BASKETBALL

TENNIS

This year, All Saints' College had both an 'A' and 'B' team in the ACC Interschool basketball competition. These comprised primarily of year 12 students with some year 11 's also playing. The ASC boys 'A' basketball team had a season that can perhaps best be described as spectacular. Led by Travis Monson, the team of nine soon established themselves as hot contenders for the championship. Maintaining an unbeaten record, the team made it to the grand final. Held at Willeton sports stadium, in front of many cheering, screaming All Saints' fans, the boys had a tough job ahead of them as they played Corpus Christi for the championship. A tight game, the scores were close all match until a spectacular assist from Tim Heuchan led to a powerful reverse pump-slam by Travis Monson. This signalled the turning point and the boys went on to win by five points. Although the ASC 'B' team did not achieve quite as much success as the 'A's, the team, lead by a nimble Stephen Wise performed well all season to defeat many top ranking teams and narrowly missed out on the finals.

The Year 11/12 girls ands boys tennis teams played in the Associated Catholic Colleges (A.C.C) tennis competition which was held on Tuesday afternoons in Term 1. The teams consisting of ten people per team, played at their schools south of the river. These schools included Lumen Christi, St. Norbet's, Corpus Christi, Ursula Frayne, Seaton and Mazenod. In addition to this, a team of four girls and four boys played against three other schools in another competition on Wednesday afternoons. The schools we played against included Applecross, Rossmoyne and Corpus Christi. In both competitions, all the teams played exceptionally well; displaying skill and talent at all games. The boy's team had a season of mixed fortunes whilst the girls team also had a number of wins and losses. Both teams did the college proud and the All Saints' tennis team is shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with in the near future. David Budd

SENIOR GIRLS'TENNIS Over the past few years, All Saints' Senior Girls' Tennis Team has been exceptionally good, but this year there was a slight drop in standard. As we lost a number of good players at the end of last year, and the fact that most of us did not have the experience of playing in competitions, we were not able to defeat all our opponents. However, statistics do not show what counts - effort. Every Tuesday afternoon, our team of participants from Years 11 and 12 played against such schools as St. Norbet's, Corpus Christi and St. Brigid's.Although our team was defeated a number of times,some players demonstrated their extreme talent and agility when playing against the more experienced and stronger opponents. Everyone in the team tried their utmost and an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm swept through the tennis courts, and at the end of the season, all of us have shown obvious improvements. Congratulations must go to all members of our team who tried very hard to win and hopefully next year, more experience will meet with even greater success. Finally, our many thanks must be extended to our supervisor,Mrs. Bascombe, for her support and encouragement. Gwen Poon

INTERHOUSE AND INTERSCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY

.

The Interhouse Cross Country which was run on the 10th of May produced some capable runners for the Interschool event on May 24th. Each year group throughout the College participated in the run which was associated with the community service sub-committee as a fun-run. There were however House points awarded and for each year group there were two Medallions awarded for first place getters. These results were: Year Eight - Sarah Peters, Nathan Jones Year Nine - Shelley Jordan, Mark Pressley Year Ten - Allison Hollands, Adam Passmore Year Eleven - Elizabeth Dillon, Rhyon Johnson Year Twelve - Kim Scott, Jeremy Johnston The entire Interhouse cross country was successfully won by outstanding O'Connor House. who proved too strong on the day. The Interschool competition followed at Perry Lakes with the actual courses lengthier than at the College.

The boys ran 4 km and the girls, 3km. Despite this difference and the approximate number of competitors in each race at 300, All Saints' College finished well. The most noteworthy performances in each age bracket were as follows: Year Eight - Emily Kainey, Elizabeth Marsh Nathan Jones, Luke Came Year Nine - Jenny Barker, Emma Atkinson Mark Pressley, Grant Wright Year Ten - Allison Hollands Adam Passmore, Simon Tyrell Open - Kim Scott, Clare Anthony Rhyon Jol1nson, Justin Osbome The Cross Country runners within the College have performed very well and have participated with enthusiasm. Thanks must go to all students who ran at Perry Lakes and especially to Mr Collins who organised and coached the team throughout that short season. Kim Seot!

NETBALL COMPETITION

For the 1990 Winter Netball Competition All Saints' entered nine teams. In years previous to this one All Saints' has enrolled at Matthews Centre in J olimont, however this year ir was decided that we would play at Gibson Park in Fremantle. This was generally a successful move. Teams from all secondary year groups were entered, with a team from the primary department also. As well a~ this, staff and ex-students teams played. Throughout the season these teams have trained hard for their games. Games were played on Saturdays between 11.30am and 5. l5pm. Training was held on Wednesday afternoons for upper school students and Thursday for lower school. Teams were coached by people from within the school community staff, students and ex-students. Thanks must go to all those coaches for their time and effort. It is part of the commitment when playing Netball, for the older students and team members to umpire other matches. Dunng the season four girls from All Saints' worked hard - attending lectures, sitting tests and umpiring games to achieve the "Esso" .Tunior Empire Awards. Amanda Dowling, Kath Van der Straaten, Claire Stone and .Tenni Simpson all achieved higher levels of awards. Of the nine teams entered, six reached the finals and three of these the grand finals. Unfortunately All Saints' came away with no premierships at the end of the season, however every team played well and has no reason to feel ashamed of their efforts. The final results of the season were: Staff/ex-students - 2nd Year 12 team I - 5th Ex-students - 2nd Year 9/10 team - 4th Year 11/12 team - 2nd Year 9 team - 2nd Year 8 team -- 3rd Year [2 team 27th Primary - 5th

A wind-up was held for the All Saints' netball teams on Sunday 16th September. It was a fun day for all. Many presentations were made to people for their efforts throughout the season. The following people received medallions: "Most Consistent" .Tonelle Mullings, Gemma Carter, Nicole Heatley, Sarah Pressley, Christine McConville, Jenni Simpson, Amanda Dowling, Claire Stone, Renee Newman, Shauna Caple, Desiree Bell, Sally Browne. "Most Improved" - Monique Halliday, Tasma Gregory, Jennifer Bishop. "Most Versatile" - Marnie Peacock. For services to All Saints' Netball for five years or more - Gemma Carter, Anne Marie Evans, Kim Scott, Monique Halliday, Bronwyn Shaw, Christine McConville, Cheryl McCool, Kelly Greay, Sarah Pressley. Congratulations to all those who received awards and to all the teams for their work during the season. Goodluck to all the All Saints' teams of the 1991 Season!!

ACC NETBALL The ACC Netball was held on Tuesday afternoons during Year I J 112 sport time. Three teams made up of Yearll 's and 12's were playing against other schools in the ACC competition. The season ran for a term and All Saints' played every other school once. UnfortunateJy none of the teams reached the grand final, but two of the teams only narrowly missed out, both coming third in the competition. Jonelle Mullings

FOOTBALL

C. Chalk, T Heuchan, Mr P Whipp (coach), J. Osborne, D. Knight, C. Davies. During the 1990 football season, All Saints' entered a team of 22 capable football players into the Quit Cup Competition. Being the lhird year All Saints have enlered the competition, we were becoming an established football learn and a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunalely, the ability of our players was not highlighted in this competition, due to a bad draw. Unforceen circumstances meant we only played two games. Narrowly losing one lo Corpus Christi College, and handsomely defeating Leeming High School in our second match. We were robbed of a chance at the final due to the way the competition was organized. Despite the upset of the Quit Cup, the All Saints footballers

came back with dogged determination to put up a good standing in the A.C.L. competition. This competilion saw us thrash our rivals Corpus Christi by 7 goals as well as almost every olher learn who opposed us. During the competition we were only pUl down twice. Both times by Mazenod, once in the fJith round, and then again in the grand final. Phil Balding and Matthew Bascombe deserve a special mention for their outstanding contributions to the team. Special thanks go to Tim Heuchan and Justin Osborne who dual-captained the team, and also to Mr Whipp for his dedicated coaching throughout the season.

mTERSCHOOLSOCCER Our strategy was simple, let the other team score eight goals in the first half, give them a false sense of security and then make the pounce. There was only one problem with this, we never actually made the pounce. Even though our season had not been full of glory a definite improvement could be seen through our scores of 10-0, ll-O, 9-0, 8-0. It was obvious our new tactic of all standing in the goal square and singing an ancient Aztec war song was definitely beginning to pay dividends. Yet one day the unbelievable came true - we won a match. Yes, the first time in three years the All Saints' College Soccer Team won a match. The story goes like this. We ran into the pitch, morale was high, we knew we might have a hope since only half their team were wearing soccer jumpers. Anyway, as the game progressed it became apparent that these guys 'stank'. By half-time we were 2 up, 1 of which was an own goal. They tried desperately yet their main striker with two left feet (he was right footed) just could not penetrate our stringent defence. Eventually we won 2-1, most of the team just walked around the pitch blinking, it took us five weeks just to persuade the school we really had won. Well, that just about rounds it all off. What a game, what a season, Ben C0 Ie 1r what a disgrace to the other team!

TOUCH FOOTBALL

HOCKEY

The All Saints' Hockey team were a mix of players with wide ranging ability. In 1990 we won back our regional cup, and defeated the top side in the northern region 7­ O. This year's team has set a high standard for coming teams. Our talent ranges from the brilliant skills of Adam Arnold, Jeremy Johnston, Todd Lavender and Matthew Tompkin to players who were playing hockey for their first or second time. However, it was these players who won the finals for us. It seemed easy to rely on our stronger players, but our team attacked the game so enthusiastically that in many instances goals or string defence came from the inexperienced players. Notable players, apart from tho e already mentioned include: David Budd, Terence Tay, Dan Fick, David Church and Stephen King. Our younger players have a great deal of talent and I am sure that they will be a formidable force in the years to come. Thanks go to Mr Collins for his coaching and support. He was always well organised. Congratulations to all players for a winning season. J. Johnston

BOYS TOUCH FOOTBALL TEAM Back row: Mr. N. Col/ins, e. Nelson, S. Jones, A. Passmore, T Smith (coach). Front row: T Heuchan, M. Pressley, e. Peacock, K. Derbyshire, P Balding. The 1990 season saw All Saints' College enter two boys and 3 girls teams in the W.A.G.S.S.A. state wide competition. This competition involved both private and government schools. Both the senior girls and boys teams were successful in making the semi-finals, unfortunately losing to the eventual winners in both divisions. All junior boys and girls teams performed creditably against stiff opposition (mainly year 11 's and 12's) and this augers well for 1991. Congratulations are extended to Naomi Caple, Phil Balding and Simon Poon who represented Western Australia and the school in the National Championships held in South Australia during September. With the talent available in the junior teams, there is no doubt more All Saints' students will represent the state in the future. Thanks are also extended to Nicole Heatley and Kim Scott who once again acted as coaches of the junior teams. Due to the interest shown by team members a boys and girls team have been nominated to compete in a local competition on Monday nights throughout the summer holidays. In closing, I wish to thank all students and coaches who were involved in 1990 as well as the loyal band of parents who have supported their children. Neil Coffins

ARTS FOUNDATION

The Arts Foundation, under the Chairmanship of Dr Felicity Haynes, has continued to support an Artists in Residence Pro­ gramme in 1990. This year the musical activities of the College were enhanced by the appoint­ ment of two specialists. Mr Mike Burns spent four weeks working with students demonstrating instrument making and the set of tubular bells which were con­ structed have been added to the College's inventory of musical instruments. Mr Burns also developed composition skills of students and their work was performed at the College Concert in September. Mrs Jill Belbin was the second ~ artist in residence for the year and lit as part of her contribution to the ~_ musical development of the A rUst . In . R'd eSI ence, '

instruments amongst a great number of students of the

College. Her lunchtime demonstrations in the Sambell

Centre attracted many interested participants.

1990 DANCE GROUPS Extra curricular Dance groups at the College have become a popular and important part of the Performing Arts. They have enabled talented dancers to try their hand at choreography and others to perform on stage when otherwise they may not have had the chance. In June All Saints' College was invited to perform at the 1990 Dance Festival held at the Octagon Theatre at the University. The schools performing were from the Peel, Cockburn and Willeton districts. All Saints' performed a total of four dances, and all of them were choreographed by students. Genivieve Gimblett and Jenny Scatt choreographed the year 8's and 9's routine to "Flashdance". "Smooth Criminal" was the routine performed by the year 10 and 11 dance group, choreographed Alicia Travaglione and Susan Alexander. Jenny Chester chose the song "Dracula's Tango" for the routine by the advanced dance group. The final routine some may remember from 1989 Speech Night to "Bohemian Rhapsody" choreographed by former student Susan Wright. The advanced dance group were also invited to perform at an inaugural Gala Night, the theme was Imagination and "Dracula's Tango" proved to be a suitable routine. Dance has also become a crowd pleaser at College events such as Back To College Day and the College Concert. Simone Brand showed her choreography skills at the College Concert with the Primary student's routine to Billy Joei's "We Didn't Start The Fire". This year's Speech Night dance has once again been choreographed by Susan Wright who continues to support the College in this area. Thanks must go to Mrs Pendlebury for her tireless help and patience throughout the year and to all the students who gave their all to make this year a great success in the area of Dance.

ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION

The annual All Saints' College Art Exhibition was a great success and a great relief for the Year Twelve Art Students involved. ln the build up to the opening of the Art Exhibition the Art students witnessed the nOlTIlally calm and controlled Mr Brewin change 1I1to an anxious and determined man. Mr Brewin's determination paid off, his hard work in arranging the exhibilton resulted in a successful night, relieving Mr Brewin of his stress and anxiety for another year. This Art Exhibition was the first All Saints' Exhibition to feature photography works and clothing and quilts from Early Childhood Studies. The display of bright quilts and fashionable clothes heightened the diversity of the exhibition,

as did the professional quality of works by the photographers. The exhibition featured works from all years 111 the College and enabled those developing artists to receive some credit for their achievements. For the Year Twelve Art students, the exhibition was as Mr Brewin so often called it, "The ever looming brick wall", of the year. The exhibition was the opportunity for the students to display the works completed by them during the year, and the presence of the 'brick wall' was undoubtably felt by the students as they prepared for the night that they still expected to be months away. Opened by Ella Fry, the former chairperson of the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the exhibition got off to a good start. The atmosphere was relaxed with the good food and service from the Year Eleven students. The students who performed background music were also greatly appreciated by those who were invited to witness the Exhibition opening. This year's Art Exhibition was of extremely high standard and will be hard to beat next year. Stephanie Saunders

SENIOR CHOIR

The Senior Choir has had a busy year in preparation for many performances, such as the College Concert, All Saints' Day and Open Day. The main item which the choir was in hard preparation for, was a Beatles Collection, with short solo parts, for Speech Night. Many hours of rehearsal have been put in by the choir and band members. The continuous (and not forgetting to mention, extreme patience) of Mrs Bailey and Mrs Prescott have been of great assistance and motivation. Mr Gipson has also graced the Senior Choir, with another of his talents - a delightful

and much recognised singing ability. Artist in Residence, Mike BW'ns also contributed the words he wrote for Psalm 104, which the Senior Choir sang at the College Concert and All Saints' Day. The final product of this hymn was well received by the audience. Overall, this year has been rewarding for the senior choir and their constant efforts have been most appreciated. It has also been enjoyable, with the introduction of strange voice toning exercises and creative movement to the Beatles Collection.

COLLEGE CONCERT

The annual College Concert will again be one to remember. The concert performed last year in memory of Mr David Southwell was outstanding and would, of course, take a lot of beating, yet this year came very close to the same standard. Items were presented by small groups such as the Year 10 Rock Group. by soloists such Jodie Gibson, Kylie Chan and Andrew Barnett and large groups such as the choirs, dance groups, orchestra and band. The Performing Arts Centre was filled with parents and friends of the performers, eagerly watching the people they knew exibit their talents on the stage. With no major disasters, the concert ran smoothly under the wonderfully presented and comical compere, Miss Greta Cleghorn. The night was topped off by a stunning performance by the Noddies which was loved by everyone. 52


CONCERT BAND TOUR They said we'd never make it - and for a long time, so did we. With thousands of raffle tickets to sell, the final decision (ie to tour) being made at least three times in 1989 alone, Mr Maughan repeatedly commenting "I will not take a band on tour that is not up to standard," and interminable rehearsals, it appeared the concert band had finally set ourselves an over ambitious goal. But not quite. When we arrived in New Zealand, we realized it had been worth some six hours per week of rehearsal. We certainly had an interesting time. Our bus was rather well-aged, but next to the orange Subaru and trailer for carrying the drum kit, appeared quite modern. We spent eleven days seeing mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, snow, encountering the typical NZ driver, and going over one-lane bridges. Some of us made bets on which vehicle would break down first; on the third night, it appeared that the Subaru, containing Mr Maughan and Mr Cahill, would win. "Curtis kindly offered to consume their dinner portions, while Gerard convinced us all that he could manage the bandmaster's job without throwing away the baton". (From our Official Tour Diary) It turned out that they had only blown a few fuses. We played five concerts: in the Queenstown Pedestrian Mall, Queenstown Primary, Northern Southland College, Twizel High School and RangiRuru Girl's School in Christchurch. A gale swept down the Queenstown Mall, as we played huddled under the shop awnings; once we'd finished playing our National Anthem, the weather improved considerably. The Primary School concert was very well received; Scott ran out of Minties (much to one little girl's disappointment: ask Gerard), and Mr Maughan had to sign autographs. (Whether this was due to our playing or his antics during "Greatest American Hero" is not known.) Tour highlights included Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, Milford Sound, Mount Cook and our morning in Queenstown, where we shopped, played on the park equipment, saw kiwis, went jetboating, and did not go bungy jumping - although we saw the bridge from which it is done, over the Shotover River. The previous night, we descended on (well, ascended to) the restaurant on Bob's Peak, where Scott and Sarah publicly displayed their entertaining talents. and we also saw the "Kiwi Magic" film. While with our billets in Lumsden (Northern Southland College), many of us stayed on farms, and we also received several centimetres of snow. The snowy churchyard of Mossburn and several other places decimated through our efforts. In Dunedin, we toured a stately home, where some of us were "too young to appreciate" the artwork, and a few played the Steinway grand piano. At Moeraki Boulders, Mr Maughan had a few words to say, and at Mount Cook we visited the luxury hotel (before spending the night in our more basic alpine huts). Over the final two days, Mr Kane recorded our antics on video, and tried to convince us we had been travelling on a luxury coach (like the ones the ubiquitous Japanese had). This was while we had great fun with the gears. Our last night

was spent with billets from RangiRuru Girls' School in Christchurch. On departing the next morning, we presented our driver for the tour, Ash, with a bottle of rum as a thank-you gift for all he had put up with; the students also had gifts for the adults who accompanied us on tour. We won't forget NZ. The gold panner in Shantytown, Chui Pu, Kiwi Balls, Caramello Kiwis, Nick's music, the concert on the way to Wanaka (minus instruments), and Boon's reactions to the video cover at Twizel and the video machine at Mount Cook. We all LOVED the audio visuals at the glaciers and the hydro-electric schemes. The boys also found that Mr Maughan is perfectly capable of snoring Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, while Taren and Sarah added venllation holes to their raincoats. Then there's gear changes in the bus over Arthur's Pass, "sx" (and other strange accents), jandles, potties, and that four-legged epitome of NZ for which Mr Radich holds a special affinity. There are the quotes from Gerad about the sausages, and Isabelle's comments about Lake Pukaki and Snowy's claim that, even though he couldn't find something, he hadn't lost it. Nick and Scott proved their expertise at "blowfishes" on the bus windows. The success of the tour was largely due to the untiring work of the Concert Band Committee, the fund-raising efforts of the parents, and the presence of all the adults who accompaniedus on the tour. Mrs Irving was offical Tour Cook, Mrs Doughty kept us healthy and happy, Mrs Marcos held the money, and Mrs Shugg always had some advice. We also had four guest students form other Perth schools: Chris Williams (trumpet), Necole Rowe (trumpet), Scott Baron (bass), and Naomi Price (euphonium). Nicholas Hiew and Narelle Cook also joined us as "roadies". Former ASC staff member Mr Jeff Cahill was our tour manager (and official phtographer), and of course we must thank Mr Maughan, from whom the original idea to tour came. PS - Mr Maughan's favorite phrase has changed. Post­ tour, it has become "Remember what we had in New Zealand?"

CHEMISTRY/PHYSICS OLYMPIAD

In the beginning, the earth cooled, and then came Dr Simpson. He had a dream - that one day, he just might turn a few cretinous toads into chemistry professors (we DID say "dream"). Then came Mrs Montgomery, bearing Trig, "College Physics" and Liptons' (unlike the Doe's more discriminating choice of Twinings' Earl Grey). One fine fine morning - 'twas a dark and stormy night' - the above mentioned cretinous toads braved the elements, to bear witness to the Simpson effect. Having survived that for 3 hours of a Saturday morning one week, we dared to return the next Saturday and faced the world of Chaos - Mrs Montgomery's classroom. In a true physics sense, perpetual motion resulted, and this was the trend for the next eighteen months. Not only were we at school five and a half days a week, we even sacrificed parts of school holidays to learn all manner of "fascinating scientific facts" (see below). With a view to bigger and better things (ie the beaches of the Gold Coast), we began to recognize the Simpson "DOOM" look and the Montgomery "I don't know that one" look, which develops into "Hang on a sec, I'll just refer to my 64th edition big fat chunky Handbook of Physics & Chemistry that my brother, who now earns $90,000 per year, including car, house, rates, new suit once a month, free fax, in Scotland, bought for me in America for $20" look (!!). But what did we actually do during all those Saturday mornings? In Chemistry, we've learnt how to boil H20 for a cup of tea so as to obtain maximum Spritzig. We've also learn't about "grossosities", Sydney University and those who inflict their "rapacious wills on wimps". And we know not to fence-sit. In Physics we haven't learnt much at all - except trig (before the Maths Dept. could even consider teaching us), and we nearly learnt about 4 pi and integrals. We are also experts on camels and golf balls. And we know how [0 keep within the photocopying laws, don't we?? Someone amongst us who wishes to remain anonymous (ie Paul) has learnt gymnastics from the ceiling of SS. Everybody else has learnt that when Rhyon says "bog simple" (or associated phrases) he is invariably wrong. Brian and Liz fought over the shortbread creams. At morning tea we discuss many deep and meaningful

subjects e.g. "why do teabags always float - except for when the tag falls off?". But now we have to share the biscuits with the Mob (31 of them, in years 9 and 10 wmle in Physics, they're now learning to ignore the Doe's audible histrionics at us in Chem.) Love fron Paul E, Liz D., Brian M. Rhyon J. Paul's P.S.: Unfortunately due to chronic illness I was absent at the writing of this report (ie sitting 1.00 metres away) and have nothing to do with it. P.S. of the rest of us: Paul is particularly proud of this report. All comments/ questions are to be directed to him. Any other questions come to Olympiad on a Saturday morning and find out for yourself.

Robert Bishop and Brian Phang study hard.

A NOTE FROM MRS MONTGOMERY AND DR SIMPSON Despite the tone of the student-written report above, five Year 11 s, seven Year lOs, and twelve Year 9s participated with commitment and enthusiasm throughout Semester 2. How else could Brian Murphy, Paul Flowerdew, and Elizabeth Dillon have qualified in the top fifteen Year II Chemistry students in Australia in the National Qualifying Examination held in October? Brian came second in Australia! These three now attend a camp in January at Deakin University and vie for a place in the four-member team which represents AustraLia in the International Chemistry Olympiad in Yugoslavia in June.

SCIENCE SUMMER SCHOOL

Late in January this year, 1 attended the inaugural Murdoch University - Alcoa Australia WA Science Summer School. This was a four-day camp for 40 Year Elevens and 80 Year Twelves from around the State. Accommodation was in Murdoch's on-campus Student House. The programme for the School was designed to give students the opportunity to study several aspects of a particular discipline of science, and to also give relevant career information. "Relevant career information" generally meant a verbal advertisement and a handout for the appropriate Murdoch undergraduate course!! Each day's programme began with a talk from a different guest speaker. These lecturers were as diverse as Sci-Tech's Dr Ann Ghisalberti and Barry Carbon from the EPA. Their topics were likewise varied: from oscillating reactions and 'proving' (ha!) that toilet rolls (without the paper) will support your weight to techniques of LandSat. After these lectures, we were let loose in the laboratories of Murdoch for our lab. sessions. Within each of the topics of Environmental and Biological Sciences and Chemical Science, we had the opportunity to study one or two of several aspects of the topic. All students completed the same Mathematical and Physical Science Units. As Alcoa Australia is the major sponsor of the Summer School (having pledged $20,000 funding per year for the next 5 years), we also visited the company's minesites at Pinjarra and Jarrahdale. This included tours of the minesites, chemical laboratories, and processing plant. Evening activities included a science quiz night and a lecture by Robin Williams, "Casinos, Capitalism and the Chattering Classes". (No, not Robin Williams of "Dead Poets' Society" and ..."Mork and Mindy".. .This one's the man on the ABC Radio Science Show at 12.30 on a Saturday). This lecture was surprisingly, unscientific and highly entertaining. On the final night, a pool party, barbecue and astronomy field night was held. Overall, the Murdoch University - Alcoa Australia WA Science Summer School was a great experience, a good way of spending the end of your holidays and a fantastic way to make heaps of friends. I would like to thank Mr Sydney-Smith and the ASC Science Staff for giving me the opportunity to attend the Summer School. Elizabeth Dillon PS. The quote that scientists are male, fllty-five, wear horn-rimmed glasses and white coats, are weird, have beards and spend their free time "blowing things up" came from... a group of PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS, NOT E. DILLON. Dr Ann Ghisalberti played a tape of interviews of children visiting Sci-Tech the above is a summary of their sentiments, not mine!!!!

TITRATION STAKES

When we arrived carrying two enormous plastic trays full of sparkling clean (many thanks, Mrs Brajcich!) pipettes and burettes, they knew we meant business; when we left several hours later carrying two hundred dollars worth of prizes and having secured places for two teams in the national finals, they knew they were right. As usual, All Saints' entered two Year Twelve teams in the state titration stakes, a chemical analysis competition in which the exact concentration of four solutions must be determined by titration. Titration is the experimental matching together of reactants, a skill which requires a great deal of accuracy. The first team, consisting of Daniel Fick, Jonathon Greville and Matthew Tompkin, performed exceedingly well, coming twelfth in the state and thus attaining a position in the national competition. The other team, consisting of Kylie Chan, Simon Harrison and Sarah Hedges, was at somewhat of a disadvantage as two of its three members (we won't mention any names, but they weren't male) had spent the majority of first semester making a silly mistake...which they kept on making...(how we hated titration in those days!) Or perhaps after all this was an advantage, the result of our endless stream of failures being that we titrated before school, titrated at lunch-time, titrated after school... in short, being that by the time the titration stakes had come around, we had probably done more titrations than any other student in WA. Arriving at Curtin with our long record of failure behind us, we certainly didn't feel as confident as we looked. But once we managed to forget our terrible history and to forget the fact that everyone expected us to live up to the legendary '89 team (whose achievements we must have heard about at least 5000 times in the few weeks prior to our own competition - just what we needed) we began to actually enjoy the evening. Our ability to work as a team was put to the test, particularly when we found ourselves with five minutes to go and one solution still completely untouched! Kylie's team-mate's afterwards declared her the fastest titrater in the west - she completed the fmal titration in about three minutes, with results concordant to within 0.04ml! About an hour later both teams were seated around a table listening to the announcement of results, feeling our chances of attaining a place grow slimmer with each successive announcement. And then the final announcement was made and we sat in a stunned silence, disbelieving that we, the other All Saints' team, had actually come first in the state. It was an exciting moment to say the least. There was only one person in the entire room that was more surprised than we were : Dr Simpson. He was in a state of shock for days afterwards, wandering around muttering "I can't believe it" for at least the next week (very flattering, we don't think!) Thanks for teaching us all we know, Doc, and we hope we can make you just as proud in the national competition.

1990 MATHS SUMMER SCHOOL

There we were, Sarah Hedges and I, at St. Catherine's College - stuck there for 10 days in January of this year. Why, you ask? Well, the reasons weren't all too clear to us then either, but along with 58 other students statewide, we had been selected to spend our holidays pacing the grounds of U. W. A, rushing to lectures, playing outrageous games and all in all, having the time of our lives. This was SMEC 1990 (School Mathematics Enrichment Course). Early in the course, many suffered mild attacks of anxiety as to the work load - 3 lectures a day with an additional hour of study and some nights spent preparing for a maths tournament. This 'illness' was soon overcome when we began to experience the independence of UNI life - every action was totally free of restraints - 'homework', of course, wasn't compulsory, but most learned to enjoy its challenges when given an independence we would not usually receive at school. Some social activities, which somehow seemed to fit within our rather rigid schedules, included a "mixer" on the first night, (coming to watch a group of 60 supposedly intelligent people making animal impersonations amidst other crazy 'get-to-know-you' games would probably have caused serious concern for parents of that alleged party) and, any doubts were quickly cast aside, as people began making new friends. Other recreational activities included a picnic at Yanchep National Park (where many decided to engage in 'war- games' between opposing boats on the lake while others coolly avoided the wet and played volleyball or attempted the 5-man based human pyramid ...), a BBQ at a nearby swimming pool,a social, a formal? dinner, a night's walk to King's Park, watching movies (maths film included . . . that is, "Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land!"), a hilarious skit-night (in which Sarah became an imposing 'elephant trainer' and I joined in the special effects of "Cinderella and Prince Revolting" among other things), and the final all-night (or all- morning!) slumber party in the common room, which saw people stumbling sleepily home the next morning in a drug-like state of euphoria intermingled with the intrinsic sadness of parting. You must believe me now! - maths camp can be fun. Of course, I haven't really mentioned the serious side of things - MATHS (though 'serious' is hardly the word). As part of the extended Mathematics course, we investigated dragon curves, the mathematics of card shuffling, probability of paw-paws (!), the greenhouse effect, and in great theoretical detail, we studied Fibonacci, discovered the 'golden triangle' and untangled the jungles of cipher in 'Cryptography'. One night, we competed in a Maths Relay with teams of 6, each team having been lovingly named by their appointed tutors ie. "Marcus's Morons", the "Nitwits", the "Nice People" and myself having the privilege of becoming an integral part of "Ross's Retards': This night proved to be Sarah's and my moment of discovery - our teams coming 1st and 2nd (not respectively) - ... All Saintsans, ... a new threat to society?? The culmination of our 10 days activity was in the Maths Tournament in which each team tried desperately hard to solve problems every other team had given them (having first ensured they were almost impossible to solve), just

to gain the prestigious title of 'Winner'. We were all fastidious in our cruelty towards each other - but that was all in the name of fun. Of course, Sarah and I had to have our share of fame that night too ... both of us were given the most wanted opportunity to brush up on our lecturing skills when we (among a very lucky few), were so fortunately called upon to explain our individual tournament problems to a most understanding, but LARGE, group of friends (where they were, we don't know ...) No, actually, it was a great experience -even for me; 'quiet' as I may seem! So, what do you think? Interested? If my opinion counts at all, I found the camp a fantastic learning experience - the independence on UNI life, expanding our intellectual horizons (?) in readiness for year 12 and probably the most valuable experience, that of making new friends. Certainly a great substitution for Summertime boredom - anyday. Kylie Chan

HIGH SCHOOLS

CHALLENGE -1990

PATHWAYS NOW 1990

From the 17th August to the 19th August, Hwei Oh, Rachael Abberton, Mr Taylor, Ms Brandenburg and I attended the Pathways Now 1990 Environmental Conference at Gosnells Senior High School. The conference was mainly to give enthusiasm and ideas to students so they could go back to their schools, set up environmental groups. It is a direct result of Pathways ow that our environmentally concerned group "G.A.G." (Green Alert Group) has started in the College.

Alexander Pope showed remarkable foresight in the early eighteenth century when he said, "What mighty contests arise from trivial things". In a remarkable example of accurate prediction, Pope obviously pre-empted the conception of the High Schools Challenge Competition - a scaled down version of television's "University Challenge." Being narrowly defeated in the 1989 Grand Final by Rossmoyne Senior High School, the All Saints' College team entered the competition with the primary goal of avenging that defeat. The opportunity soon prevailed, as, by some remarkable gift of fortune, All Saints' drew Rossmoyne for its first round match. A team consisting of Brian Murphy(captain). Tim Whyte, Peter Downes, and Adam Arnold took on last years victors, and in a hard fought battle, eventually emerged narrow winners, progressing directly to the semi­ linals, held on the morning of Murdoch University's Open Day. The team possessed a new breed of confidence (and Elizabeth Dillon, who replaced Adam Arnold in the team). This confidence made its presence felt, blasting away Penrhos by in excess of 200 points - and so posting the highest score of the competition. The stage was therefore set for a final showdown between newcomers John Curtin, and the wise and hardened. experienced All Saints' team. After a slight delay as the Minister for Education arrived, the final got underway, in the afternoon of the Murdoch Open Day. In front of a packed lecture theatre, All Saints' recorded a comfortable victory, with several questions between the final scores. Special thanks may be extended to Mrs Coombes, and Dr. Simpson, for selecting and training(?) the team. (Dr. Simpson incidentally, was somewhat distressed after the semi final, since none of the team members - all of whom he teaches Chemistry - could answer the question, "Who invented the periodic table of elements.'') Nevertheless, 3 of the 4 finals team members remain next year to haunt the memories of all those who competed in the 1990 Murdoch University High Schools Challenge. Brian Murphy

DEBATING REPORT

In 1986, five young All Saintsians nervously approached their first debate. These teams included a variety of different characters each with their own unique style. Bindi Fenn appealing to the intellectual and well educated audience was paced and confident. Gemma Carter entertained many with her endless John and Jane Stories as well as natural approach while Simone Brand (born to be a lawyer) had never ending quotes and references to contradict the opposition's argument. Kirsten Vickers' 'subtle' approach to 'touchy' subjects has made her a valuable member of the team and her ability to stun the audience into silence or shock the adjudicators into paralysis with her stereotype examples, meant that she was always a crowd winner, while Kim Scott's down to earth and assertive manner intrigued most. For five years these debaters struggled on - week after week. Debates stretched from two minutes to seven minutes and even worse, impromptus were introduced - no more pretending we could debate. Anna Kotai, Daniel Fick and others including Stephanie Saunders, Jeremy Johnston and Sharon Tee made appearances, helping the team gain places in semi finals, and occasionally the grand final. Debate topics ranged from the serious to the ridiculous. These included, our debut debating topic - "That Pigs can Fly" to "Mickey Mouse is subversive", "Money Maketh the Man", and our encore "R. J. Hawke is Australia's Greatest Living Liberal Leader': Difficulties were incurred finding credible arguments for a full spectrum of people for topics such as "Sex is Better than Cheezels". Although debating at times became monotonous and more routine than impulse, it gave its participants good grounding for public speaking. It encourages logical arguments and determination, in a biased sometimes ignorant and often apathetic world. Thanks to all the debaters who never gave up and were persistent in proving their point. Thanks also to the ASC Staff (Mr Taylor, Mr Hanson, Miss Cleghorn, Mrs Maio, Mr Stapleton and Mr Radich) and parents. They were our teachers, advocates and inspiration.

These sorts of articles somehow seem to leave out the 'gutsy' determination and at times overwhelming projection of self that come with continuous exposure to debating. The vitriolic attacks that Kirsten frequently fired at mere mortals daring to cross verbs with her. Simone's sheer exhilaration and energy outlived any daydreaming by the audience. And Bindi, always proper and 'just so'. For years the various audiences wondered how she kept everything in place, regardless of what she did. And Kim, well I remember in Year ll, at Wesley, a faceless adult said to me 'awesome'. And Anna, a latecomer, able to spellbind the audience with one smile. Special thanks must go to Bindi, Kirsten and Simone in particular. In the last two years they have helped out, stood in, coped and stressed, but did it mostly with a smile and come back for more. Finally, a quick mention of the 1990 AHlSA year 8 team, as they were semi-finalists in their competition. Congratulation to Luke Tassell, Simone Spencer, Rebecca Coombs, Robert Nichols, Stefan Brand.

On Wednesday 8th August over 125 students from All Saint's College and Corpus Christi College attended a mathematical quiz night at All Saints' College. The students were asked to solve a wide variety of mathematical problems over four rounds with one round devoted entirely to mathematical trivia e.g. what was the name of Einsteins's dog? All participants in the quiz night went away with a gift voucher from Hungry Jacks or Macdonald and fifteen

THE YEAR 8 CAMP

The Year 8 camp broke tradition this year by not going to Fairbridge. This year the destination was the Kalgoorliej Coolgardie Goldfield Region. The camp week was extended to six full days to allow for the extra distances and travel time. So, bright and early, 1O.OOam Sunday morning 29th April, 116 Year 8 students eagerly boarded three buses with all their gear.(What some people managed to put in their luggage was amazing.) Each bus group remained the same throughout the week. The first day was entirely travelling, Mrs Montgomery had included a number of games and quizes in the camp booklet to help relieve the boredom. Boy is it a long way ... The first night was a new experience for most of us - sleeping under the stars - is that inland air cold at night or what . . . Bus one was talked into going on a long walk along the pipeline - we didn't see much as it was so dark, but we were tired by the time we got back to camp. Many of us were not that hungry as we had been eating all day on the supplies from Perth. One thing we all learnt from this night was that it is better to set up the beds after dark - not early in the morning as the dew does tend to make things slightly damp ... Every bus had a different itinerary but all eventually went to the same places. The most popular things included - the camel ride (no one fell off), the Hainhault Underground where we were entertained by a guard who had the longest repertoire of weak jokes, the Coolgardie Wildlife Park where we were told to watch out for an emu with a habit of pecking people from behind when they were not watching, the Coolgardie Battery - this is where the students of the likes of Ross Brewin contracted gold fever and from then on were inclined to walk in funny gait that involved them being stooped to the ground and constantly picking up rocks. The Loopline Railway was a success - every group had trouble keeping awake throughout the trip - it was too much to expect - being in a gently rocking train on a warm day when we were kept at a busy pace all day. The camp was not at all recreational - not only did we do the tourist things but the itinerary also included the services of the town and the industry. At the School Of The Air we had the opportunity to talk to students of Year 7 who only had their brothers and sisters as class mates. At the RFDS base we were shown the plane and the procedures of the service. Western Mining showed us around. The two groups were lucky enough to see the smelter being tapped. As you can see by the photos, most had a great time. It was a experience nevertheless.

The School of the Air allows geographically isolated children to recieve an education that is equal to the one offered to children in cities and towns. The aim is to help each of the children to reach thier potential academically, socially and physically. It is important that the children do not feel isolated and the school aims to give them a "sense of belonging" to a group and the opportunity to make friends. The teachers are very helpful and are always ready to listen to any problems. The daily contact the children have with the "outside world" is very important to them and the radio is a great link in their lives. The children usually finish primary school with a high academic standard. On our Goldfields camp this year we visited The School of the Air near Kalgoolie, which was based at the local pre-primary school. There were 65 students and the most distant and the most distant student lived near Dekin. Every day mail is sent by their teacher. The teacher operates the radio and there are also "markers" who assess the work which is sent in. The cost of the radio is met by the Education Department. While we were there we listened to the teacher talking to the students. People come from all over the world to visit School of the Air.

SCHOOL OF THE AIR Most children in Australia start school at the age of five or six and after a year at pre-school they usually attend a primany school near where they live. For children living in the Australian outback that just isn't possible so they have School of the Air. They are taught over a two way radio that communicates with the Flying Doctor Service, a system that brings medical attention to people living in remote areas. 62

YEAR 9 NANGA BUSH CAMP

Mrs Knox took a group on a canoe trip and they had to have showers after it. Poor dears, they must have gotten wet. Tim Smith, Grant Wright, Michael Close and Joshua Hayes fixed up their tentsite for them and lit their fires. Poor dears they must have been wet. Vicky Fraser and Mr Taylor raced each other on a 'run­ down' the abseiling tower. Mr London had his fust ever abseil on our puny tower. What colour is grey? Mr Gipson and Mrs Bronwasser stepped out together on their eighteen kilometre hikes. Mr Gipson was just trying to show how fit he was. Not bad for an old man with two children and a bike. Jenny Barker had a mudfight, Mr Collins did too, and so did Roy. And they are still getting the mud out of their ears. And the Year 12 students helped out too. Daniel Fick, Simone Brand, Bindi Fenn, Troy Leary and Jason Wright all helped out. But we can't understand how come Simone could get so lost that he ended up at Collie. And of course there was Mr Squiggle, alias Mr Stapleton, responding with a 'yes Miss Jane' to all Miss Brandenberg's directions. Sure were many of these. And of course Mr Radich and Mrs Maio came together, with the Year Elevens that were on the parachuting camp. It was nice that they came to visit. Nanga 1990 was a great cam and next year's Year nines will enjoy the torture treatment as well. Georgia Smith, Nicola Fraser and some ideas from Mr llIylor

It all started from the minute we stepped on the bus. There was the usual amount of singing, absolutely heaps of it. Of course Noelle was in the thick of it on one of the buses, leading an impromptu choir. Anyway, most of were glad to get off the bus to escape the sickening, sorry singing. Unfortunately, where were we? Some deserted place. They made us walk to the campsite, much to our disgust, and it seemed like they didn't quite know where they were taking us. We arrived and oh yes, we were locked out of our hut weren't we? Locked out, starving, exhausted! On the first night, Stirling and O'Connor were lucky to be able to stay at the Trinity College campsite a few minutes walk away. Unfortunately, much to Mr Taylor's disgust it was a night of excitement. It seems there was a doorway between the two dorms. Danni, Gill, Georgia, Vicky, Shelly and Grant were up to no good, that's for sure. Tricia had to be rushed to the district nurse for a few butterfly clips on a cut forehead. It was 2.00 am. We all agree Tricia is unlikely to dive at the bed again. There was a long list of activities as usual, and these included abseiling, canoeing, hiking, camping, orienteering and archery. On the fust night we had to climb the only mountain in Western Australia, mostly on hands and knees, and of course some had to give up with exhaustion, others got lost. But we all got back, somehow. So, what about the some of the more unusual events of the camp? Well Karri Foster lost some of her clothing and it was put on display. Grant Wright lost his undies on the tiltadoor. Audrey and Amanda were absolutely wonderful. Melinda Stone did absolutely everything. Peter Corteen went for night runs with boots on. Peter McAppion did the same and would not be beaten. Toby Harris refused to beaten by anything. And they all slept well that night.

ADVENTURE OUT

If your didn't have a back ache after the overnight camping, then you had done well in assembling a shelter, and were bound to get one of the hike back to camp. So after six days and six glorious fun filled nights, sixty overexcited, overtired, overworked bodies ftll into the buses for the trip home, their bags filled with Mr Brewins' biscuits. It was goodbye to Craig and Adam's tent, Terry's unwashed dog, near fatal injuries and cooking, the very secretive aerial Arnaud, midnight jogs, the frankness of conversations partaken during the week, emotional tent scenes involving homesickness, hanging from frayed ropes connected to rotting logs, looking inside caves at uninteresting formations of bat mucus, and many other countless memories. Nothing beats the first decent meal after a week of cheese buns. I think everyone would agree who had experienced the very exciting Adventure Out single star accommodation. By the way, any people would like to thank Mrs Tyrrell for her great driving when the tyre blew out on the way home. More than half of us arrived. If you like it rough then I think Adventure Out is for those wandering about a camp next year; just don't pat the dogs. Craig Chester

Three buses roUed (and here to stress 'rolled') away from the school with the three teachers at the wheels. Mrs Tyrrell occasionally hit 80 kilometres per hour during moments of lost concen tration, wisely slowing as signs reading 100kph flew past. Finally the campsight entered our view through the windshield, and we were there. No shower curtains, no little soaps with the hotel insignias on them, no complimentary towels, limited warm water. quite a few children were in for a real shock. Then the rain came. The campsite became a haven for red, muddy puddles, the smell of mouldy wood adhering to the nose and clothes. Things at this stage it would seem, could only improve. And in the nocturnal excitement of night one, many people blatantly forgot where their tents were, so were left with the option of stumbling over tent pegs into the nearest tent (those who stumbled into Adam's were in for a reasonably generous surprise). Tent inspections the next morning came at the disgusting hour of six thirty. The children were split into three activities groups and were sent with their instructors to regions of Margaret River one would never dream of going. For example, the face of a 120 foot cliff with waves of equal size crashing onto rocks below. The abseiling was probably the major highlight (for most) of the days, despite the seemingly stupidity of being lowered down a cliff by a small ring of chrome controlled by the abseilee's own hand and only jagged rocks below. It was lights out at ten on night two, and most were in bed a good three hours after that due to the tiring first day. Commandos Brewin and Tyrrell brushed up on their tent reconnaissance which would have impressed the SAS Adventure Out instructors, and it was pay back time to all those who by-passed their evil touches with another six-thirty wake-up call. Other activities which may have occurred on day two included caving. Crawling over stalactites did wear a little thin after a while so Rick (our instructor) allowed us to explore at our won will with only a fifteen cm candle each and no directions. It became a type of competition for the two teams, each starting at opposite exits, to discover who had the most senseless, braindead people to guide the others to become lost. But luckily not a noticeable amount of people were lost. Back at camp, there were many stories to tell about the harnesses with the plastic clips used during abseiling. Let's just say. the next day everyone grabbed for the seat belt material harnesses. Night three emphasised Chris Johnson's 'story telling around a smoking barbeque' skills which enthralled most for a good two or three minutes (the topics were a little unpalatable following a plate of spaghetti bolognaise). Justin Wright was so upset, he had to for a jog with his friends into to town to calm down. Kristy Smith was forced to brush her hair again, so everybody decided to drift into shallow sleep. Day three may have meant a day of canoeing for some (unlucky) campers. It was severely lacking in fun and excitement after the thrills of abseiling and caving. Nevertheless, we were taught how to 'J' stroke and spent a few freezing wet hours paddling up and down sections of the Blackwood River. One group per night was required to camp out in a paddock and prepare their own dinner. Most discovered how not to make damper. 65


THE 10's ADVENTURE OUT

66


DEBATING CAMP 1990 At 9.30am on Monday April 30th a group of 25 All Saints' Students assembled at the front of the college. We were all wondering what this camp was about to offer us. After changing from Rottnest to Point Peran to Woodmans Point as our venue, we all had our hopes and doubts about the week to follow. We arrived at the dorms after a bus ride with Mr Short during which a bicycle rider almost beat us up the hill. Lunch consisted of a roll, fruit and biscuits. Soon after that we set out on our 4km walk to Cables Water Ski Park. You may be wondering what water skiing has to do with debating but it didn't even enter our minds. It was a great time, for some of us a whole new experience in travel. The walk back wasn't quite so brisk, but a decent dinner prepared us for charades that evening. Some of us found it really hard to shut our mouths for just two minutes. The next day we were introduced to the techinques of debating - but not before Simon London introduced us to Herbie, and Megan Perks showed off her beautiful red hat. That afternoon we chose our topics and began our first debate. Topics included "Vivisection" and "A Womans Place in the Home." We were also introduced to Simon Poons little son, Chuckie! That night we were given free time since reception on the television was poor. The third day came with more individuals speaking to the group to gain confidence. We learnt to say "cabbage" with hatred and Simon Poon will be remembered for his raunchy advertisement. That afternoon we prepared individual reports on what we thought strongly about. They ranged from "FM drinks" and "Smarties" to "Steeple Chasing" and "Capital Punishment." We saw a video on debating too. That night was the highlight of the camp for me. We attempted Theatre Sports which is a series of activities of acting , talking, singing, miming, and just being an idiot, for a set topic. It was hilarious and a good first attempt for most of us. On the morning of the fourth day we were again placed into groups to debate more casual topics such as "Faded Jeans should be worn with pride", "Girls were made for Love and Kisses", "Male Chauvinists cannot be pigs" and "Our men should wear green suits and red shirts" - where Julian Smirke showed off his hot-blooded sensuality and sex appeal. That afternoon however was a time for serious preparation for a night of formal debating where an adjudicator attended. The debating that night was of an excellent standard compared to the shy, mumbling amateurs on Tuesday. Even Matthew Morcombe looked healthy! Topics that night included "Violence has a place in entertainment", "Parents do not understand", "Vandalism is an indictment on society". That night Philip Balding made various fat jokes which I am sure he will be remembered by for a while. Friday was a day for cleaning up the grounds and dorms. During our week at camp we had a lot of free time to relax or be active! The accomodation was comfortable

A mob of keen debaters. (except for the noisy beds) and the food was a delight. Other memorable events on the camp were Justin Page's coathanger overheating and dying tragically; Grants couple of stiches after some heavy head banging; and Gemma Arnold's attraction for a basketball. The males also soon learnt not to play physical sports with Nicole Stone if they wanted to have children later on in life, and Simon London caused a certain heart palpation while stripping with females present. I hope Jane Usher had a nice birthday on the Tuesday too. We all grew closer on camp and friendships were strengthened. Thanks to Mrs Batty, Mrs Jepp, Mr Maughan and Mrs Zani for attending the camp. The camp was fun. Singing in the bus was better but needless to say, we all piled out of the bus once we finally arrived back at school on Friday.

GOLF CAMP 1990 MONDAY Afer a leisurely Monday morning sleep in, we arrived at school at 11.00am. After doubling an unknown cafe's annual income at lunch time, we arrived at Mandurah Holiday Village. We checked out the pool, spa, sauna, trampolines, in house video and tennis courts before going to Mandurah Country Club for our golf lesson. What a thrill it was smashing your golf ball and seeing it put 2 metres away from you. After a brief swim and spa, we dried in front of the TV and discovered dinner was to be delayed due to the injuring properties of a trampoline to one of our merry campers. TUESDAY I stretched languidly in the strange bed and looked over at the clock, only to find it was lO.OOam in the morning. My peers around me were also rousing, ready for a hard day of golf ahead. At lO.50am, 33 excited year lOs and 1I's gathered at the bus, that was waiting to transport us to the golf course. Once the golf bags and buggies had been loaded we were on our way. When we arrived, the golf course was an absolute picture in the bright sunshine. (Continued on next page) 67


PARACHUTING CAMP

GOLF CAMP 1990 (Continued) We proceeded, with our golf equipment, to the driving range where our golf lesson was to take place. Todays les~on we were to learn how to chip and pitch onto the puttmg green. At 1.00pm we had lunch (sausage rolls and sandwiches) which was provided by the club. The afternoon was spent on the course as we attempted our first round of 9 holes, in which most of us only played the first 3 or 4 as we found it most exhausting. At around 4:30pm we returned back to the holiday village where we had two hours to relax and have a swim. Dinner was at a Mexican restaurant, where the great majority of us ordered giant plates of Enchiladas. Back to the village for an evening of cards, TV., and other such activities. WEDNESDAY The main highlight of Wednesday was getting out of tuition so that ':Ne ~ould play 9 holes i.n the morning and go roller-skatmg m the afternoon. ThiS was where we found out who could roller-skate and who . . . couldn't. Naturally the teachers didn't participate. A~ter a "healthy" meal at Hungry Jacks, we spent the evemng relaxing and recovering, until early hours in the mormng. THURSDAY It was such a hassle having to be up and ready for the golf course by 11.30am. Nter a fascinating, interesting session of tuition, it was lunch. Of course we had to force ourselves to eat the homemade sausage rolls and millions of sandwiches.Then it was nine holes on the course: the wimps decided to quit when t~e rain star~ed pouring, while others decidcd to keep playmg and wnng themselves out on the bus. Our dinner at an Italian resturant was followed by bowling, which was punctuated by various comments on our bowling style from Mrs Bailey and Mr Jordan. Then we were back to our chalets where the teachers could patrol to their hearts' content. FRIDAY Amid groans and moans, the camp woke up at the break of dawn to finish packing bags, eat breakfast and pack the bus, on the last day of camp. At 7.30am we left for Meadow Springs Golf Course and started a round of golf after a scenic detour down the wrong road. With misguiding directions from a local, Mrs Wheeler ended up stuck with a trailer at the end of a half finished ro~d, muttering a few choice words that are better left unsard. After the loss of many balls in the lakes and detours in bunkers we finished the round and went back to Mandurah. In Mandurah we had Red Rooster for lunch and after a walk around we headed back to Perth and arrived at school at 1.40pm.

Look, Reach, Pull, Clear, Check! These five words will forever stay in the minds of we who went on Western Australian's first ever high school parachuting camp, basically because these five words could save your life. ...J\ /I The emergency procedure was just one of the many instructions that had to be learned during the eight hours of intensive training we were subjected to, before we took to the sky. However some instructions such as, "When in doubt, whip it out," were not as clear as others and Mr Radich is still wondering what good it would do . But then Mr Radich wasn't too sure about a lot of the training which was extremely o?vious dur!ng the ~xam yve sat before jumping. However Jump he did, landmg With a complete lack of grace and st,Yle, on his b~ttom ev~ry time. Mrs Maio also managed to Jump and surVive, walkmg away with only a few scratches and bruises, which I might add were not caused by parachuting. The honour of being the first ever Western Australian student on a camp to parachute goes .to Nick Kelly ~~o along with Amanda Hooper, Tim Wmslade and Philllp Burton decided they didn't really like the drop zone and tried to land as far away from it as possible. Thankfully all jumps went well even if Brendan was a bit slow, with his chute opening after nine seconds instead of the usual three, and then there is the fact that will never be allowed to be forgotten MR RADICH HAD LINE TWISTS ON HIS FIRST JUMP. This was typical of Mr Radich, a man who li~es to live dangerously as was further demonstrated by hiS bus driving ability or lack therof, but eve~ though he made the minibus hit 100 kmh, he never qUlte caught up With Helga on her Harley. Helga's Harley was just one of ~he spectacular sights on a camp which drew media attentIOn from sources as varied as Mandurah Newspaper, Channel IQ and Hot Metal Magazine. Life at Fairbridge Farm was not quite exciting as throwing oneself out of an aeroplane but it certainly wasn't boring. The food seemed to be better than in the past, especially the chocolate mousse which the oth~r. school didn't seem to like. However the lack of complarmng was probably due to the fact that if a.nybod'y said a~ything, they would have had their teeth kicked m. The guls and boys had a house each which were about the same level of tidiness and the boys always endeavoured to keep a nice cheery fire going in the grate. This along with the burning of a few cigarettes, the rug near the fire place and Henry the cat combined to give the house a somewhat smoky atmosphere. Although parachuting didn't light everyone's fire,. the camp was a rewarding experience and some future skydlvers have been produced. Cath)' Rile)'

PARACHUTING CAMP (Continued)

~ ~, •

SCUBA DIVING CAMP The day of departure came with everyone arriving weary­ eyed at school. It was Sunday, 7:45, not a very reasonable hour for a weekend. Never the less we were on the bus and heading towards Point Peron where we would spend the rest of the week. When we arrived at the camp school we started with a lesson (the first of many) and then in the afternoon we went to Rockingham pool for our practical (the first of many). At the pool we faced the wetsuit dilemma, the guy's became macho-men and pulled their wetsuits on with ease while the girls huddled in the filter room rolling on the floor with increasing difficulty. Finally we jumped in the pool and bounced up and down working the wetsuits on. With that problem over we finally started the lesson and had our first practice with the scuba unit. The week passed very quickly, unfortunately, but not without chaos and problems occuring. The instructors: Steve, Hank, 10, Kelly and Phil were fantastic. They helped us with everything and we often had them in stitches over anecdotes from the camp. The best things on the camp were: McDonalds, lost buddies, water fights in the shower at Malibu, table tennis, touch football on the beach, and the atmosphere. Thanks to Liz and Gabrielle for their bad jokes and Linda for laughing at them; Susan for the good ones;lames, 10hn and Mark for getting the fire started (and keeping it going); Charles and Anthony for their quietness; Kate and Merridee for their giggling; and Glen and lustin for being there. Special thanks to Mr Short for driving and driving and driving, Mrs Giles for being a great cook, to Mrs Bedford and Mr Whipp for their bad jokes and general laughter. It was a lot of fun. We cant wait to do it again and I'm sure Malibu will be holding their breath.

QUALIFIED DIVING CAMP

STUDENTS: 14

VENUE:

D.Y.S.R. Pt Peron Recreation Campsite, Rockingham Students attending this camp had previously attained their Basic Scuba Qualifications - some quite recently. The camp was a great opportunity for these students to increase their confidence and experience in diving. The programme was in brief: Day 1: Refresher Theory Session and shore dive to brush up on diving skills. Day 2, 3 & 4: 2 boat dives per day - one of which was a night dive - a new and exciting experience for most of the group. A dive master from Malibu accompanied the groups on all dives, taking the students to various dive sites such as wrecks, reefs and old ballast dumping grounds. The camp was a great success and enjoyed by both staff and the students. The Diving Company spoke very highly of the behaviour and attitude displayed by the students. They had initially been apprehensive about taking on a school group but by the end of the week were so happy with the way things had gone that they were planning to take on more school groups. The camp site was in an ideal position and the facilities were adequate but the fees were quite expensive. J. Pendlebury, Co-Ordinator


SAILING CAMP 1990

Forget the sheer luxury accommodation of the golf camp, forget the excitement of the parachuting camp I'm going sailing and so did another 28 of us on the 30th of April 1990. We packed on to the bus and departed for 5 days of sailing and more sailing. We arrived at the Woodman's Point camp site at about 9:30am. It was here we were introduced to our teachers, Julian and Lewis. They were great guys. We were taken to our rooms and given some time to get changed for our first session of sailing on the beach. Since our dorm had done this task with ample time we figured it was all right to play cards. We played on and on behind closed doors until we realised that everyone except some year 11 's had left. They were happy to give us directions to the beach since, due to our game of cards we had missed out on. The only problem was our directions were wrong. We were running in the wrong direction to the middle of nowhere until we realised that they had tricked us. Sprinting back to the proper directions (by following the year 11 's) we just made it to the capsize drills. On Tuesday we finally got the chance to go on the boats without a teacher. "Great", I finally thought - but I was on a boat with Mad Manic - Matt Holden. This guy would rock the boat until it was either half full of water or someone was sea-sick. It didn't stop there but I got used to it. Wednesday was great! More boating and waveskiing. But all this fun was for a reason. After tea came the announcement, "Theory Test". Everyone had to do it regardless of if they knew how to sail or not. Those who had finished the test played volleyball on the lawn. the rest of us waited for there turn. Eventually everyone passed. Thursday's wheather conditions were not good sailing conditions for rookies so I decided to do some movie camera ftlming. Low and behold, guess where I was when Mr Hanson was swearing? Yes, that's right I had the movie camera in his face recording every bit of it. In the evening a very distinguished Ms Cleghorn with an American accent from N.A.S.A came to talk to us about space flight. We were given an egg and 20 straws to build a capsule for the egg. Our hardest problem was getting back the egg from Julian our instructor. His group had broken their egg and they needed a new one. On Friday morning we woke up, our last day. The triangular race was upon us. In the flfSt race Adam, Sarah and I were coming fourth until Sarah snapped the rudder

,

which meant disqualifIcation. In the second race Matt, Graham and I were coming second until a boat (with a woman driver) rammed us, claimed right of way and we were disqualifIed. Great! DisqualifIed twice in one day. That was the end of our stay at Woodman Point. Apart from the great food and instructors there is nothing more I can say. This camp was well-organised and it was a complete success. M. Dixon.

YEAR 12 RETREATS

The need to develop meaningful human relationships. The need to develop skills in communicating with people, to listen and to be able to give clear non-blaming messages to others. The need for human support, peer and staff during the stress of the TEE year. The need to take the time in solitude to reflect on our lives.

What is the difference between an E TP and an ISTJ? Is there life after a Retreat? Is it possible for thirteen 17 year olds to escape the traps and wiles of an evil wizard who ensnares teenagers in force fields? All of these, and many more were answered during the year 12 retreats held this year. Each Retreat was three days long and the three Retreats were held consecutively from Satruday 28 April to Sunday 6 May at the Institute of Human Development, Jarrahdale in the midst of a bueatiful timbered valley. During the previous four years as we have developed the Retreats program it has been necessary to counter a degree of resistance from students and staff about what the experience would be like and whether they might be at risk in any way. Whatever their expectations may have been before the Retreat almost all participants leave the retreat saying they had a fantastic time. Whenever it is the opportunity for some quiet reflection about self, family, friends, or getting in touch with their spiritual self; or building up a team spirit; or simply getting to know others in a very real way, everyone departs changed and enriched. A mixture of physical, social, emotional and spiritual challenges is the secret formula and happily many students are enthralled by it. And not only that; all participants graduate with a special certificate - a Little Hug Award - which takes place in their Warm Fuzzy Bag. Those of us who have had the honour of guiding the Retreats have derived an enormous amount of pleasure from sharing the time with these Year 12's. We have really enjoyed the time together. A Retreat should most appropriately be the end result of our overall camping program, that is, it should be a particular type of camp where all the skills developed in previous years come together and can be deepened in the one experience. Retreats meet a variety of needs in the lives of Students, Staff and the College: The need to recognise our spiritual nature. The need to develop Love and Compassion for others. The need to be affrrmed and to recognise our need for self-love.

SPRINGIELD RIDING CAMP

YEAR 11 BIOLOGY CAMP

This was the second camp to be held at the Springfield Riding School. Last year there were 19 students, myself (Mr Balding) and a mother, Mrs K Hill. This year with the help of another mother, Mrs Regie lamieson, 22 girls, 3 boys and myself, once again enjoyed a week of living with and riding horses under the expertise of Miss Diane Bennett, the owner and riding instructress of the Springfield Riding School. Springfield is situated 24 kilometres North of Perth and lies to the North East of the Joondalup Lakes system on the shore of Lake Joondalup. Monday, April 30 we left All Saints College at 8.00am and arrived at the camp site at 9.30am. Once unpacked and settled we were mounted on our horses for the flfSt riding lesson. It was quite interesting to see the attire of some of the riders. Real boots like the ones seen at El Cabalo Blanco or in the movies. By the end of the ride all were looking forward to a meal. Coming from the spotless homes in the suburbs many were astonished to fmd the occasional "hair" in the food. It was then realised that horse hair could be found everywhere. By the end of the first night there were so many sore pelvic areas and bruised bones - and egos. (A comparison of the size and colour could be heard during the next shower time.) The test came the next morning to see who were ladies and who were gentlemen when awoken by the staff at 6.l5am to go and "bog" the yards and paddocks. A new language was expressed as lights were turned on to wake them all. To make it "exciting" a competition was organised. A point system. 3 points for a bucket full of "bog", 2 points for a feed bucket. This was for the whole week. The group was divided into smaller groups, for example, Group A went out on a trail ride, Group did some grooming and Group C learnt how to handle the horse by walking around in circles. Each day all went out on a trail ride. It was obvious all, enjoyed this session. Different activities were organised for the evening. Games Night. Daniel Grimbly, Luke lamieson and Darren Spencer issued a challenge to Mr Balding for a game of poker, but they threw in the towel after a few hands. Wednesday Night was the Fancy Dress and Talent Quest Night. Phillipa Hatch won the fancy dress when she paraded as a hippy. Cher Gibellini won the Talent Quest when she impersonated a member of staff (10) with the help of Kristen Nowak and Melissa Frodsham who were a very handsome horse and Louise Brewin who was the rider. It was great to see everyone participating. And some of the outfits ­ well enough said. From all the reports it was a great night. Friday, the Gymkhana was held. The presentations were also given. The three legged race caused many hiccups for the majority of the people. Those who came 1st, 2nd or 3rd were awarded with ribbons. It was a great way to end the camp. Only a few mishaps, Louise Brewin went for a sixer while riding Honey. Karen lamieson broke her arm while doing the jumps. It was quite unusual, she made it over the jumps, but minus the horse. It was then pack-up time and at 1.30pm we were all ready to board the bus for the trip home. Thanks must go to Mr Balding and Mrs lamieson for making this camp so enjoyable and interesting. Mr Balding, Cher Gibellini and Melissa Frodsham

The Biology Camp was held between the 15th and 19th of October on Rottnest Island. We all took the ferry over on Monday morning (except .fustin and Peter who arrived just in time to see us sailing off) and set ourselves up in Kingstown Barracks. After that it was the traditional ride around the island. The main aspects of Biology that were studied were: Reef study Salt-Lake study Brine shrimp study (was it Mathew who ate his for $20?) Several vegetation studies. At night, most people (in the guys' hut anyway) forgot about the work they were meant to be doing and had pillow fights, a bit of Quokka soccer (would we do that?) and Mr Williams dug out a few 60's videos on Rottnest that most people slept through. We also dropped by the museum, as well as playing a round of mini-golf. Over the next few days, we found some Santa Maria girls who kept a few guys happy, and Kenny and Craig put on a White-whale performance. We also had to put up with George going swimming Gust ask any Year 11 Biology student about it ) and Simon and Craig had to pull Tommy out of the waves. 10 managed to hit a bin, a seagull and an old lady all in the one bike crash, and who was it that started that fire extinguisher fight in the girls hut? The Biology camp was great, and thanks go to Mr Williams and Mrs Brandenburg.

FORREST HOUSE REPORT

Fon-est has had a successful year of competition, which was accompanied by great enthusiasm and participation by all. The Junior and Senior Basketball teams and the Netball team deserve particular mention in placing Forrest in first position in the Senior Netball and Junior Basketball. Travis Monson, Justin Osborne, Bronwyn Llewellin, Leesha Monson, lenni Simpson and Cameron Peacock are noted for their exceptional performances in these interhouse activities which were played on a Thursday afternoon. Our athleticism was again rewarded with our second placing in the cross-country with these people placing first or second in their Age group - Luke Carne, Nathan Jones, Mark Presley, Alison Hollands, Adam Passmore, Scott Jones, Simon London, Jeremy Johnson and Justin Osborne. A first placing in the atWetics carnival was our greatest achievement. On the day Peter McAppion, Mark Presley, Renee Newman, Adam Passmore, Scott lones, Megan Perks and Matthew Bascombe were awarded medallions for there efforts. Although we didn't perform as convincingly in the water as on the track, particular mention must however be made to those who received medallions: Kelly Burges, Darren McCool, Peter McAppion, Bronwyn Llewellin and Andrew Gosling_ As 1990 Forrest House Captains we would like to thank all students in Forrest for making it such a successful and enjoyable year. A special thanks is made to our House Head, Mr Hanson, who provided the backbone and support for our Forrest teams, and thank you to all Forrest staff who helped in the organisation and, in many instances, participation in interhouse activities. Well done Forrest, and best of luck to the 1991 Forrest House Captains Bronwyn Llewellin and Bradley Barton. Matthew Bascombe and Bindi Fenn

MURDOCH - MIGHTY PINKIES

1990 has been a reasonably sucessful year for Murdoch under the guidance of Jenny Chester and Christian Aldrich as House Captains and Mr Maughan as House Head. This year has been a very busy year for house activities and tutor groups. Swimming started off the agenda and it was held at the Burswood Superdrome for the [lIst time. This was on Friday 16th of Feburary and Murdoch came third. Next was tabloid sports which consisted of a team of staff and students and we came second. Continuous Cricket was a glorious win for Murdoch as we battled off state criketers in O'Connor and an attitude problem to beat them all. In Cross Country we came last and it is an area which definitely needs morc dedication and improvement. In Junior Sports we have had mixed results, Winning tennis and losing Basketball. However Senior Basketball was victorious and Senior Netball came second. In Badminton we also came second. The lnterhouse Athletics Carnival held on 3rd September was a trying day for House captains and organisers because of little support. A cheer squad was existent for a few minutes during the day and Murdoch just scraped into third place because of its success in the relays. The recent brain bash saw Murdoch victorious and Mrs Bedford's tutor group winning the best individual results. The house play evening on Friday 21st Sempember went well with Murdoch coming fourth. Overall we have done well but more support is needed by House captains for them to be able to do their job properly. Thanks to all, and may we be winners in 1991.

O'CONNOR

In 1990 O'Connor has successfully portrayed the meaning of the word: Participation. This aspect of O'Connor we feel has shone brightly this year and has become a feature to be proud of for all O'Connorites. For every event O'Connor participated in there were numerous willing competitors and it was our aim to include as many of these competitors in events as possible. Our teams reflected thjs aim with a new Ijne up of students for the various competitions each chance we had to participate. O'Connor had two big wins this year, and they were two competitions in which a large and varied number of students were involved. This in itself displayed the strong unity within the O'Connor House. The Cross Country in which O'Connor won the Trinder Perpetual Trophy was the first of these two major competions. In the cross country, O'Connor had a number of year group champions and runners- up, however as a whole the house performed superbly, to take out the trophy. Open age group (11 & 12): Kim Scott RI U: Elizabeth Dillon Year 10: Jenni Scott Year 8: Sarah Peters, Ian Bond The second competition in which O'Connor excelled was the Interhouse Drama Festival. Under two fabulous Directors, O'Connor produced 'Chuck Chunder of the Space Patrol'. These two remarkable Directors were Gemma Carter and Sharon Tee who both dedicated a great deal of time to the production and were rewarded for their efforts by coming out victors!! 'Chuck Chunder' was a very humorous play and the entire cast must once again be congratulated for a memorable performance. O'Connor, at the beginning of the year also performed extremely well in the pool for the Interhouse Swimmjng Carnival. Victory was snatched from us however in the closing races of the day by Stirling. Again however there were a number of outstanding performances by swimmers from various year groups. Open age group(1I & 12): Kristen Prummel Year ten: Dirk Prummel Year eight: Rebecca Joyce This carnival also brought out a previously subdued facet within O'Connor, our cheer squad, our HOUSE SPIRIT! O'Connor House Spirit erupted thjs year with a particular group of avid cheerers, headed by a most competent Travis Smjthson (House Captain). Travis' cheer squad consisted of some young enthusiast O'Connorites who cannot go with out mention - Jamie Brook, Lizzi Marsh, Rebocca Joyce, Kate Bevilaqua and Jessica Adderley. Many thanks to this squad for there efforts at raising house spirit which we feel has come to the force in 1990 and has beeen fantastic. O'Connor staff members definitely need to be thanked and given big "hugs" for their support in 1990. We have always found O'Connor staff members very easy to approach and always very willing to participate and help out with competitions - particularly thanking Mr Collins, Mr WiUiams, Mrs Tyrell (our resident Ijttle leprechaun), Mrs Weddjng, Miss Watson, Mr Radich, Mr Jenner, and Mrs Maio (who we succeeded in getting to compete in tabloid sports!). To all, your support and encouragement was appreciated. A number of students from the house also gave us fantastic support and assistance throughout the year, particularly in marshalling for Swimming and Athletics carnivals. It is these people behind the scenes who often

are overlooked but play vital roles in our House Spirit and participation levels. Many thanks to you all: Kylie Johnson, Susan Alexander, Jane Usher, Kirsten Wood, Lisa Kneebone, Jenni Scott, Gemma Carter. Once again we must emphasize our fantastic levels of participation and spirit this year by remembering (who could forget!) "Love and Kisses" performed by an enthusiastic bunch of year nine girls in a Red Faces competition. Nor could anyone have missed the gorgeous "stars" and "martians" in "Chuck Chunder of the Space Patrol", performed by some keen O'Connor primary students. Finally, as 1990 House Captains we have seen O'Connor come alive and shine as a fantastic and fun house that anyone and everyone should be proud to be a part of. (We've even been approached by alternate House students for immigration permjssion!) We have been proud to be captains of O'Connor House in 1990 and goodluck to Susan Alexander and Nich Kelly for 1991. Remember O'CONNOR RULES ALWAYS!!!! Kim Scott and Travis Smithson Captains 1990

STIRLING

*

1990 has been referred to as "the year of STIRLING".

Ben 'Hermie' Vance, the inaugural Stirling mascot, showed all he was the man for the job at the Interhouse athleticws carnival. * Linda Downes, Russell Di Guesclin, Gemma Arnold, Nathan Jones, Tim Smith, Grant Wright, Shani Ban, Shelley Jordans, Noelle Winslade, Joanne Jordans, David Tuffin, Caroline Criddle, Loise wilson, Peters Downes, Todd Lavender, Paula Watters, Matther Tompkin and Kirsten Vickers. have ALL consistently throughout the year volunteered their services for Interhouse activities. House spirit this year was much better than it has been for a significant period of time. This is due to the fantastic co-operation and commitment from the staff and students. This year has been sensationally successful for Stirling and we hope the success will continue in the years to come. Good luck to the 1991 House Captains - Melissa Faulkner, Justin Page. Adam Arno/d and Jonelle Mullings 1990 Stirling House Captains

In all sectors of the Interhouse competition Stirling has showed spirit and style. To begin the year, Stirling stunned the school with superb success in the swimming, bringing home the Lambert trophy for the first time this ever. In the pool, Adam Arnold, Shelley and Joanne Jordans, Grant Wright, Wade Robbins, Jane Waddy and a team of extremely dedicated swimmers who worked tirelessly all day towards the sweet, sweet, victory. Striling's success continued throughout the first semester coming off best in the Tabloid Sports, Red Faces and the Junior quiz. Second semester saw Stirling taking consistent seconds and thirds in the interhouse competition, although, with a win in Badminton, we maintained our position of first palce going into the Athletics carnival. The Interhouse Athletics saw Striling take second place Fonest. There were many fine performances on the day by Shelley Jordans, Holly Thomas, Grant Wright, nathan Jones, time Smith, Jonelle Mullins, Justin Page (Vear 11), and amanda Chaytor, to name a few. The Stirling staff is quite a divers bunch of hooligans. At one end of the scale we have Mr Whipp - triathlete­ cum-sports fanatic, and a super coach - to the other extreme the man with a laugh-and-a-half, the Chemistry connoisseur and quiz master, Dr. Simpson. Then there's Ms Brandenberg, environmentalist extraoridinaire, whose assertive nature has won her respect throughout the school. Mr Taylor (commonly known as DT) 'capped' off the year with a 'Stirling' idea. However,unknown to the students he attempted to make an ECONOMIC profit to manage the Stirling economy (p.s he eventually lost his own hat). News has it that Mr Balding showed his fine potential during the Interhouse Barin Bash. The question was ­ "What do wombats, bandicoots and seahorses have in common?". Mr Balding's answer - "they all drink water". What a guy, what a brain, what a handyman! Mrs Montgomery - the lady with a television who makes up for her lost joy by teaching her favourite class - Vear 7 Science. Mrs Bailey - the cheerful and tireless Choir mistress in her role as Head of Music is continuously involved in musical activities. Mr Brewin - is Stirling's artist-in-residence and expert art critic. He initiated and organised the Interhouse Badminton after school. For this we are most grateful. This awesome crew is headed by the legendary, platypus­ loving, excitable, enthusiastic, fun, cute, stalwart of Stirling, the one and only Ms Cleghorn. Thanks to all other members of Stirling who have participated or helped in any way. Also Shani Ban deserves special mention for her directing of the House Play. Other special thanks must go to a number of students who have helped conscientiously throughout the year. * Ben Cole has been involved in the running of students' socials for the Student council and was a member of the cast of "URBS, URBIS" the Stirling play, that's a fact! * As newcomers to secondary school the Year 8s have been most helpful as a group. Their enthusiasm towards Interhouse activities has been tremendous. Although there have been shining stars of this year, everyone has participated to their full potential. What an example for the older students!

STIRLING DRAMA REPORT

'Urbs, urbis,' a weird name for a play. However Stirling House fulfilled this weirdness and produced a cast, director and second place in the Interhouse Drama Festival. Characters in the play ranged from a caveman (Adam Arnold) to a perfect resemblance of a 'Tony Barber' game­ show host (Ben Cole). We had pinballs, a Wino, facts, housewives, choirs, a party and a singer who finally got up the courage to show not only me but everyone there on the night how talented she is. A few difficulties on the way but with ten days before the night we had a pep talk from the unforgettable Ms Cleghorn and it was full steam ahead. The night ended in a jamboree of laughs for all the houses, especially the fmal play consisting of Mrs Heuchan, Dixie and Mr Carter. With flowers, presents and photos after announcements r think all the cast went home with a large grin on their faces knowing not only that Stirling had come second but that it was all worthwhile in the end. A pat on the back to all involved: the cast, backstage crew (lane Waddy and lane Walsh), Ms Cleghorn for the moral support and I cannot forget the backbone, me ­ the director. Shani Barr

INTERHOUSE SWIMMING

TABLOID SPORTS

FRIDAY, 16TH FEBRUARY 1990

On the 22nd of February 1990, teams of eight students and four teachers from each house competed in TABLOID SPORTS. This involved the teams competing against each other in a circuit containing four different stations being: I. Hoop Throwing 3. Netball shooting 2. Three Legged Race 4. Hockey Dribble. At each station the teams were given about seven minutes to complete as many circuits as possible. The Hockey Dribble proved most frustrating and difficult for the inexperienced and the strong wind caused a slight problem with the netball shooting. However, all teams managed well in these conditions, with some proving more outstanding than others. Murdoch and Stirling fought out a long-winded battle for first place with Stirling gaining the position due to the lack of house T-shirts in the Murdoch team. The final placings were:­ 1st. Stirling 3rd. Forrest 2nd. Murdoch 4th. O'Connor The event proved most successful and the support from the non-competitors was greatly appreciated (although Mr. Stapleton tended to drown out the cheering of the enthusiastic supporters). The Forrest House Captains, Matthew Bascombe and Bindi Fenn are congratulated for the organisation of the event and also to all the other House Captains for being the referees and making this interhouse event a success. Anne Marie Evans

There were mixed feelings within the student body about attending the "fun-filled" swimming carnival but still we all appeared in our red, green, blue and yellow sports clothes ready for action. We entered the Superdrome in awe at the vastness of the stadium. Such class was not fit for a school swimming carnival yet none of us complained. We sat in our seats and immediately started our way through the quantity of food which had we brought, while pulling out mascots and a number of odd things from our bags. The swimming commenced and house captains started frantically calling people for their heats, checking who was absent, who had suddenly acquired colds, broken legs, dislocated arms and other spontaneous injuries. At the same time, competitors down by the pool rushed around finding caps and warming up. The high tech timers were a luxury which added to the competitiveness of the day. Stirling won for the first time gaining 1696 points followed by O'Connor with 1670 points, then Murdoch with 1541 points and lastly Forrest with 1509 points. (There wasn't much in it!) While certain individuals sat in the stands, hiding from teachers holdings clipboards, others put in their best and gained the most enjoyment from the day. The following is the list of champions. Year 8 Girls Winner: 82 points - Rebecca Joyce O'Connor Runner-up: 62 points - Kelly Burgess Forrest Year 8 Boys Winner: 77 points - Darren McCool Forrest Runner-up: 68 points - John Irvine O'Connor Year 9 Girls Winner: 74 points - Shelly Jordans Stirling Runner-up: 64 points - Amanda Dowling Stirling Year 9 Boys Winner: 80 points - Grant Wright Stirling Runner-up: 68 points - Peter Mc Appion Stirling Year 10 Girls Winner: 62 points Catherine Pozani O'Connor Runner-up: 51 points - Katie Third Murdoch Year 10 Boys Winner: 77 points - Dirk Prummel O'Connor Runner-up: 71 points - Craig Nelson Murdoch Year I I Girls Winner: 34 points - Melissa Faulkner O'Connor Runner-up: 28 points - Bronwyn Uewellin Fonest Year II Boys Winner: 64 points - David Russell O'Connor Runner-up: 54 points - Aiden Wallis 0 Year 12 Girls Winner: 80 points Kristen Prurnmel O'Connor Runner-up: 74 points - Jane Waddy Stirling Year 12 Boys Winner: 80 points - Wade Robins Stirling Runner-up: 68 points - Andrew Gosling Fon'est

INTERHOUSE QUIZ Prior to the commencement of this year's quizzes, Mr Jenner redesigned the buzzer system, in the hope of eliminating the occasional problems of previous years with malfunctioning buzzers ... it's a pity that one buzzer has since consistently refused to work!!! We were also deprived of the sight of Mr Stapleton confirming his literacy level by saying "wrong" and pressing the "correct" button. Mrs Coombs and Dr Simpson ran the quiz. Quiz questions naturally ranged from the familiar to the arcane, testing knowledge in Current Affairs, Geography, Science and Technology, Arts / Literature and History/ Bible. Year 10/ It / 12 teams competed as seniors, Year 9­ 10 as juniors, and the Primary Department also held a competition. In the senior quiz, for the first time in 3 years, Elizabeth Dillon failed to know the answer to a Shakespeare questions (well, how many people have even heard of "Cymbeline"?). The best question was the quotation from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" - from "The Miller's Tale". The most vocal support was from the O'Connor Senior team during the junior quiz - it didn't matter, O'Connor Junior team lost anyway.

The carnival ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all of the students. (especially those with the walkie-talkies or those lucky enough to grab an ice cream before they were sold out.) We returned home tired from such strenuous Liz Redman activity.

CONTINUOUS CRICKET On Thursday 22nd of March the entire High School turned out to watch the Interhouse Continuous Cricket Match. Each of the houses played 3 games whilst their supporters cheered them on loudly. All teams played enthusiastically, trying hard to win for their house. At the end of an exciting 40 minutes Murdoch finshed with the leading number of runs. Stirling were the runners up, followed by Forrest and then O'Connor. Results of each game is as follows:

YEAR 7 ROTTNEST CAMP On Monday the 5th February while the rest of All Saints' College were getting ready for school, 7P and 7W were gearing up for the ferry trip to Rottnest Island. Everyone arrived at Fremantle jetty at about 9.30 am. We all boarded the Rottnest Explorer at lO.lO am. The weather at Rotto was "Fantastamorical" and the first day all sixty of us rode up to the West End and back. We stayed at the Kingston Barracks in small houses at the Governor's Circle. We had some great meals and I'm sure that everyone loved the chocolate sauce and icecream. The main activities of the camp were really fun and I am sure that everyone enjoyed themselves. There was a sand sculpturing competition (which resulted in as many different ideas), a trip to the fascinating Rottnest museum, a visit to Oliver Hill, (where we were shown the procedure for loading the guns) , a Tabloid Games night, a few visits to Salmon Point and other bays (that is where we went swimming and snorkelling), a dressing up with newspaper activity, a concert night with many amusing items and on the last day we were free to buy souvenirs and to walk around the settlement.

Sand sculpture competition.

YEAR 7 SOCIAL

YEAR 5/6

POINT PERON CAMP

On Tursday 7th of November from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, both Year 7 classes had their social. After school the house captains, student council rep's, Year 11 's and Mr Plumb put up the balloons and streamers. They took over an hour to put up and only five minutes to come down!! Many thanks to the students!! When we first started it took a while to get going, but thanks to Rebecca Missen and Adam Tassell we finally got dancing. We had a few games like limbo, snowball and musical knees. It was a really fun night. Special thanks to Mrs Williams, Mr Plumb, Year lJ's, house captains, student council reps and most of all all of the students for making the evening such a great success. Jaclyn Lofts

On 10th February we arrived at school all excited as we were going to Point Peron. The bus ride was slow and bumpy. When we arrived we got settled in and had some lunch. We all had a play but most of us went on the flying fox. For tea we had meatballs, mashed potatoes and peas. After that we went to bed. Most of us of us got mozzie bites. The next day we went to Penguin Island and had a walk and swim. Then we went to Seal Island and saw the seals from a distance. We met up with the Year 6's back at the jetty when we went to meet the ferry. We went back to Penguin Island and had lunch in a big cave as there was no other shade. We had a small dip. We went back to the boat by climbing over a rocky hill. Then we went back to the mainland and had Anzac biscuits and cordial. When we got back we had a play but Kate Moore broke her arm. That night we went to the beach close by and went fishing and collecting shells. For tea we had sausages, carrots and beans. The next day we had breakfast and had to get refreshed. We had a bit of a play then got packed and had a swim at the beach. Nerys got stung by a jelly fish. It was Chris's birthday so the caterer baked him a beautiful cake. Then we got dry and got changed and ate the cake. We left Point Peron and of course we were all exhausted. Nerys Hart and Deanne Chiu

THAI NIGHT

PRIMARY CAMP Serving Thai Food at Thai Restaurant, Fremantle.

The concert, which was on Thursday night, was quite entertaining. In Clarke dorm most of the afternoon was spent on hair-dos and make-up. On this particular afternoon while Jenny Reany was playing hairdressers most of the boys from Stirling were doing a good job spying and watching certain people, (through the windows) getting changed into many different outfits. On most of the nights we were all as good as gold but the last night some of the boys in Stirling hut kept the girls awake for a while. The last day was almost a free day. The morning was buzzing with adults and kids working flat out cleaning the cottages. Our last swim was at the basin. This is where the majority of the Year 7's did their best to get away from their parents and teachers for as long as possible. After this we all met at a shelter to discuss certain matters. While the adults had lunch at Lombardos and left us out in the cold, we walked around the settlement eating, playing mini golf and looking at Star Flyte, the boat we returned on. We left Rottnest at 3.00pm and arrived at Fremantle at 3.40pm. On behalf of 7P and 7W I would very much like to thank Mrs Williams, Mr Plumb and Father Dean for all they did to organize the camp at "Rotto", and many special thanks go to all the parents who helped and supported all the Year 7's. Thanks again! Ashleigh Fick and Ryan Constantine

VISIT TO KWINANA

YEAR 7 VISIT

On Thursday the 21st June, 7W and 7P visited Wireless Hill Park and MelviJle City Council. We left school at 9.45 and when we arrived at the Melville City Council we were split up into our two different classes and 7P went to the Melville Council while 7W explored the museum in the Wireless Hill which is situated behind the Melville Council. The museum had many different articles in it and one of the most interesting things to learn was the fact that Wireless Hill used to be a station that was used against the German Navy in the first world war. Other items in the museum included different types of radios, channel 7 and channel 9 TV cameras and many other forms of communication. After about 45 minutes, (once we had an exceLlent view from the Wireless Hill lookouts), 7W and 7P swapped and 7W ended up inside Melville Council while 7P explored Wireless Hill museum. Mrs Campbell showed us around the Civic Centre and pointed to where a time capsule was buried, explained how the Council works and even gave us a can of cool drink. At about 12.00 noon both classes met up and we arrived back at school at about 12:20 pm. Special thanks go to Mr Plumb, Mrs Williams, Mrs Campbell and all other people at Melville Council for making the day possible and so interesting. By Ryan Constantine

PARLIAMENT HOUSE VISIT On Wednesday the Year 6s went to Parliament House. First we saw the Opening of Parliament in the Lower House. While we were viewing the Parliament, we were not allowed to speak, write notes or stand up. Failure to carry out these rules could result in jail. We then moved to the Upper House, which was not being used, to have a discussion on what we had seen. We went through the procedure that Parliament goes through to pass laws, we talked about the different types of government and their functions. We also talked about some of the notes eg special people in Parliament. In particular, we learnt about the Sergeant-At-Arms. His or her job is to protect the speaker. The Sergeant-At-Arms carries a mace. In older days the mace was used as a weapon if the speaker was attacked! Thanks to Mr MacKinnon(our local member) and Ms Burns for organising the trip. Andrew Barnell

Year 7 students at the SEC Power House, Kwinana. On the 24th September 1990 the Year 7's of All Saints' College went on a trip to Kwinana. When we got to Kwinana 7W were taken to Kwinana Power Station and 7P were taken to the BP Oil Refinery. 7P were taken by bus to the front gate and from there taken upstairs into a large room and seated on some soft, comfortable chairs, where we were talked to and shown a video on how we get oil and what we use it for. After the video we were shown some pictures. There were also some interesting questions asked. When we had finished talking we got onto the bus and were taken on a tour around the oil refinery and were told what everything was and does. After our tour we picked up 7W and went to Kwinana beach where we tramped off the bus and had lunch. Thanks goes to Mr Plumb, Mrs Williams, parents and the tour guide for making the day a great success. Kyrn lanes

ECUMENICAL SERVICE

ART EXHIBITION VISIT

On Tuesday 15th May, All Saints' College hosted a magnificent JSHAA Ecumenical Service. The theme for the service was "Cooperating With a Giving God". We managed to entertain 22 other member schools with the choir that sounded perfect and the dance group and reader were amazing. Father Dean was our host and we had a special guest speaker, Michael Lush, from the Scripture Union, who gave us a very interesting talk. We also had a procession, an offertory, prayers and readings. After an enjoyable service, we catered for a morning tea for 700 students. All in all the service was really great. Thank you to all involved, you should be really pleased. Thank you to Mr Plumb and a special thank you to Mrs Williams for organizing a most impressive service. Jaclyn Lofts

At 9:05 am on Tuesday 21 August the primary department boarded the bus, looking forward to avoiding the usual morning subjects such as Maths, Spelling and English. The journey was long and uneventful and after a long trip we arrived at Guildford Grammar where we were guided to their lovely new Primary Hall. The art was set up in this room. There was everything from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle committing suicide to a graceful Peacock. We all looked around for a while and admired the fine works of art done by the 23 Member Schools. There were many creative and colourful pieces with contributions coming from Year I to 7. After another long trip back to All Saints' we arrived for a very late recess. Adam Tassel!

TRIP TO FREMANTLE

BOOK WEEK

On the 7th of June the Year 5's and 6's went on an excursion to Fremantle. The children came to school at 8.30 am and put their packs in the class. We worked until 9.50 am and then got lined up to get on the bus. The bus ride was long and exciting and we were all glad when the bus dropped us off at the Roundhouse. When we got there some Japanese adults wanted to take photographs of us. We tried communicating with them by saying "Konnichi wa" and "Sayoonara". They replied saying words we didn't know. When we got in the Roundhouse we visited all the cells and rooms. When we'd finished we split into different groups to explore some other places. We walked to the old train station. Then we walked to where we were going to have lunch. We found a spot (right where the seagulls lived) and ate lunch. After half an hour we set out to find the Fremantle Museum. At long last we got there. We hung up our coats to dry and waited to be asked in. Once we were in the museum we split up into classes. First the year 6s went upstairs to do some worksheets on Whales. May-Ann Phang, Kate Nevard, Adam Mitchell and Ben Quartermaine were lucky enough to have their photo taken to be put in a newspaper. When we'd finished exploring the museum we got on the bus and started back to school. It was a great day even thoughit rained and I would like to thank Ms. Burns and Miss Officer for making the day possible. El!a TNbe

During Book Week, Year 6 had book reports each day. When people told the class about their favourite book, we wrote down notes about them. We also brought in food from the names of books, for example: Sally Third brought in a cake that had a hippopotamus on the top. This was from the book "There's a Hippopotamus on my Roof eating Cake"! Adam Mitchell brought in a cake like a shaped like Mr Twits head. In the beard there was a variety of food: cornflakes, dried up scrambled eggs, fishfingers, minced chicken livers and other yumrny things. We had lots of chocolate biscuits, cakes all from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", also cheese representing the book "I am the Cheese". There also was "Green Eggs and Ham", "The Peppermint Pig" and not forgetting lolly snakes that represented "How to Eat Fried Worms". Some people brought cool drink which was "George's Marvellous Medicine". On Friday afternoon, parents, friends and teachers came to the classroom to read us stories. After the stories we all had some leftover food from lunch. It all turned out to be a great week. Thanks go to Ms Burns for organising it and especially the story readers on Friday. By Daniel!e Smith and Fiona Whitelaw

*****

To celebrate Bookweek, on Friday 17th August (during Bookweek) the Year 5 class had a parade in the afternoon and everyone dressed up as their favourite book character. after the parade, we were divided into groups of 5-8 people and then introduced our character/book. Then we had a special afternoon tea and everybody had brought a plate of food for it. Thank you to Miss Officer for organising the day and thank you to the parents and Mrs Potter for sharing a very successful afternoon. Deanne Chiu

PRIMARY CHESS REPORT

VISITING SPEAKER

This year two teams were entered into the Junior chess tournament. This gave the students the opportunity of playing against a variety of other schools during Term II and Term Ill. In all twenty matches were played both at home and away. Many thanks must go to the mothers who helped to transport the children. They were Mrs Abbott, Mrs Evans, Mrs Kaczmarczyk. Mrs Constantine, Mrs Gray, Mrs Brogden and Mrs Grant. The teams were: Michael Docking Rebecca Baldwin (Captain of B team) (captain of the C team) Blythe Carter Jenna Leung Ryan Constantine Susan Ghent Shaun Brogden Keith Pomeroy Generally the students did not gain many wins but they did gain valuable experience. It is to be hoped that the chess training by Miss Officer in Year 5 and Year 6 will pay dividends for the 1991 season.

On the 14th June, both Year 7 classes were privileged to have a talk by Mr Koontz. Mr Koontz has been am industrial consultant for many companies and has travelled to many countries. He came to Australia from A_~rica in 1959 on a project and has now retired. Mr Koontz came to our school to talk about rubbish. Each person in Australia throws away 500kg of rubbish a year. There are many ways disposing of this rubbish: (a) Recycling.

(b) Burying it.

Cc) Composting.

Cd) Incineration or burning.

Ce) The neutralysis system which is the process of

converting rubbish into ceramic particles. This process reduces the rubbish by 99% and is safe. It makes lightweight aggregate which is a profitable light commercial building material. Its lightness saves money on reinforcement because it weighs a third of the weight of normal aggregate. The process is the most acceptable in the urban community as it is self-sufficient. During the processing, excess heat is used to produce power to run the other sections of the plant. There has already been one plant built in Australia which is in Brisbane. The neutralysis company is now planning to build one in Western Australia. The process of neutralysisis that the collected rubbish is pulverised. Any glass or metal is removed and recycled. Then the finely milled garbage is mixed with clay and non­ hazardous liquid waste to make small mud pellets. These pellets are then f rred in kilns. The end product is an environmentally safe ceramic lightweight aggregate. This is the most significant social and environmental breakthrough to the way we dispose of our rubbish today. Quite simply, it's time right now for a new attitude and a new way of doing things. That means, better use of our Earth's natural resources. It means less waste and less pollution. Making a better world demands innovative technologies, which help rather than hurt the environment. Just think for a moment. Destroy the environment and we have nothing left. Our Earth and our children have a future. We depend on it and it depends on us.

PRIMARY CHESS TEAMS S. Ghent, B. Carter, J. Leung, R. Baldwin, K. Pomeroy, A. Essfahani, R. Constantine. M. Docking, S. Brogden.

J.S.H.A.A. CHESS DAY On Wednesday, 20th June three team members from A team and one team member from B team travelled to Hale School to compete in a chess tournament. Our team consisted of : I. Michael Docking 2. Blythe Carter 3. David McCall 4. Rebecca Baldwin In the morning we played Lightning Chess which is where you play very fast to beat the clock. Each person has just five minutes or they lose. Then we ate lunch. After lunch we played "suicide" or French chess and then three move turn around chess. After that the two chess teachers submitted a challenge. They wre going to play twelve of us, each at a time, moving down the table. Everyone who played lost, except one, who drew. Thanks go to Mrs. Williams for organising the chess team and to Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Grant for helping with the transport. Thanks also go to Hale School for supplying morning tea for the students and for organising the tournament in conjunction with the J.S.H.A.A. Michael Docking

SLAVE AUCTION On Tuesday 25th September the primary department had a slave auction. Our wonderful House Captains and our two student council representatives were our daring slaves from Africa. Each house captain and student council representative had a special name such as: Blythe Carter: Big Bertha Adam Tas~ell: Moses Sally Browne: Slim Sonya Paul Martm: Reuben As~ey Heuchan: Henrietta Karen Mellor: Spartacus Jaclyn Lofts: Jolly Holly Kelth Po~eroy: Molly Ashleigh Fick: Short Stuff Rodney HIll: Ugly Olga The slaves were exhausted by the end of lunch and they were busy again at recess the following day. The total that we raised for charity was $61.50. Our highest bidder was Robert Sutton who bid $10 for AsWeigh Fick. Special thanks go to our slaves, our auctioneer, Mrs Williams and to Mr London for giving us all an icypole, because the canteen was shut. RebecCG Balchl'in 92

PRIMARY INTERHOUSE SWIMMING CARNIVAL

On Friday 9th March our swimming carnival was held at the Bicton Pool and it was a beautiful warm day. When we arrived we sat in our House blocks and immediately the cheering began. half of the Forrest students looked like green frogs with their zinc covered faces, but unfortunately they didn't swim like them. It was neck and neck as the day slowly heated up and the parents slowly baked to a crisp. If it wasn't for a Year 12 student who dived in to help a Year 5 student, then it would have been Mrs Williams fully clothed and that really would have been a magic moment. While the judges were finally totalling the points, the best swimmers from each House raced against a staff team. Miss Officer, Ms Burns, Mr Whipp and a year 12 student swam quite well to win, but the students slowed down because they did not want to embarrass them. We certainly have future Andrew Baildon's and Hayley Lewis's, so watch out Commonwealth Games 1994. Champions and runners-up were: Champion Runner-Up Year 5 Karri Steele Pamela Snowden Daniel Abbott Kris Keen Year 6 Danielle Smith Zoe Brand lames Willett Chris Harding Year 7 Karen Mellor Regan Ballantine Andrew loyce Paul Kaczmarczyk We were all sitting on the edge of the hot red bricks as we waited to hear the fmal House points. They were: Forrest 633 points Murdoch 642 points Stirling : 654 points O'Connor 769 points O'Connor must have known they were going to win as Rodney Hill was very quick to hug the shield and Sally Browne had prepared an excellent speech. As we rode back to school on the buses we were all happy about how the day turned out.

Special thanks go to Mr Plumb (for helping and supporting us even though we didn't win a race) also to some Year 11 boys and to parents who were time keepers and helpers. Thanks again!

SWIMMING CARNIVAL

It was Thursday the 15th of March and all of the Year 7 girls marched onto the bus ready for total success on this beautiful morning. We arrived at Penhros College quite early and used the spare time to organise the many races which we were all in. Everyone was zonked by lunchtime and our lunch lasted as long as a live chicken in a lion's cage. We met up with other girls from Penhros, Iona, Newman and St. Hilda's and spent the rest of our time wisely, resting. By the time we left Penhros all the girls' bright war paint had been washed off, except for Ashleigh's white eyebrows and our voices were only small echoes of what they had been earlier on. (Continued next page)

Jessica's hair went very grey because of all the powder. Soon the carnival got under way and we were in quite a few races. Before long we got quite a a lot of ribbons. We got a place in just about every relay. Unfortunately there were no points taken for the races. After the carnival was over we had lunch with the other competitors. The Penrho girls were very happy to see Kate. to

The Primary Staff organised their house teams and helped to train the students for the many team events. The ladies forum in particular Mrs Watkinson and Mrs Nevard came to the rescue with iced water, tea and coffee throughout the morning.

YEAR 6 JSHAA GIRLS' INTERSCHOOL CARNIVAL

On Friday 26th October, twenty-six All Saints' College boys left our school to complete in a carnival against ten other schools at Scotch College. After arriving at around 9.30 am, a few boys went straight into action, in the high Jump. Michael Burke was in C division and came sixth. Chris Doughty was in B division but he didn't complete his jump, because he was forced out due to a back injury. Keith Pomeroy was in A division and came fourth. Glen Lyons competed in A division discus and Ashley Heuchan in B division. AsWey would have come first, but he broke a technical rule that he did not know about. THe Long Jump and Triple Jump also took place that morning, but no high scoring places were made. After our packed lunches, (and some goodies that Mr Hopp kindly went and fetched for us!), we all took part in sprints, relays and hurdles. It was perfect conditions for running, cool and cloudy. AsWey Heuchan came First in one of the 200m events, but not even the weather helped the rest of us! THe carnival finished at 2.30pm, but no results of "which­ school-came-where", were given. I am sure each person from every school went back to their school thinking about what a fun day they had been through. On behalf of all the competitors, I would like to thank Scotch College, for the use of the excellent sports facilities, the bus driver, for putting up with the noise generated by us, and Mr Plumb, for helping us get to our events, and training us. Keith Pomeroy

On Friday 2nd November, all the Year 6 girls attended the JSHAA Carnival at Perry Lakes. Soon after we arrived, it started raining. After about half an hour the rain stopped and we started the 200m running event. Because of the delay of the rain, we did not finish all the events. However, we had a great time. Thanks goes to Ms. Burns for organising the events and Mrs Hales and Mrs Goff for joining the Year 6 girls at the Carnival and the parents for coming to support All Saint's College. Alicia Murphy and May-Ann Phang

YEAR 5 JSHAA GIRLS' INTERSCHOOL CARNIVAL On the 2nd November all the girls in Year 5 went to the JSHAA carnival at PLC. The competitors were all from other independent schools in Perth. Unfortunately the weather was not too good, it rained until we went into the cafeteria area and had a snack. It stopped raining and we started the carnival again. We were very very successful with our tags especailly, Emma who got seven firsts and two thirds. We cancelled the hurdles and leaderball brcause of the pouring rain. We would like to thank Miss Officer and Ms Burns for organising the carnival and helping us win the tags. We sould also like to thank Mrs Evans for being the only mother there and keeping us together. 100

BOYS'JSHAA

CROSS COUNTRY

On Tuesday the 11th of September, 19 boys from All Saints' went to Hale School to compete against I I other schools in the Inter-School Cross Country Run. We left school at about 12.35pm. It was a hot sunny day, perfect for running. At 1.30pm, after we had arrived at Hale School, the Year 5 boys started their I.Skm run through the bush surrounding the school. At 1.45pm, after the 60 Year 5 boys had crossed the finish line, the Year 6 boys commenced their 2.5 km run, The third and final race of the day was a Year 7 one. It covered 3kms of bush, sand and logs. It was the longest race of the three. Every All Saints' boy did his best but none of them ran a place. After the presentations, we travelled back to school. At 3.25pm, we arrived at school. Special thanks go to Mr Plumb for training us and supervising us at the carnival. The runners in order of success were: Year 5 - Luke Smith, Robert MelIor, Gene Barker, Paul Stockbridge, Ross Brown - reserve Jay Long. Year 6 - Garth Bradshaw, Andrew Barnett, James Willett, Stephen Ong, Andrew Gray - reserves Chris Harding, Steve Edwards. Year 7 - Ryan Constantine, Glen Lyons, Ashley Heuchan, Shaun Brogden, J aimie Gilroy - reserve Chris Richardson.

On 2nd November 1990 the ASC Year 7 girls made their way down to the oval for a sports carnival. The schools that competed were ASC, Iona, MLC and John XXIII. After the schools arrived Mrs Williams spoke to the competitors and welcomed them to the carnival. The first event was the long jump in which we came first, second and third in different divisions. The next events were discus, highjump and softball throw. Other events that we had were hurdles, 800m, lOOm, three-legged race and the spoke relay. In the lOOm circular relays, we came first in three divisions and second in the other. After we finished the events the schools combined into a group and had lunch. Thanks go to Ms Burns and Mrs Williams, the Year LI's and especially to all the competitors. KymJones

SCISA ATHLETICS CARNIVAL On he 24th October many All Saints' students participated in the Long Jump and Triple Jump events during a warm lunchtime.

In events three and four aimee Buss and Caroline Lever gathered up a 5th and a second in the Senior Girls' Long Jump. The last four events were the Intermediate Boys' and Girls' Long Jump events where we gained one second, two thirds and a fourth. Next to come was the competitive Triple Jump events.

GIRLS' JSHAA

CROSS COUNTRY

The results of the race are as follows: Emma Haw - 5th Nerys Hart - 22nd Melanie Koch - 29th Karen Nichols - 31st Keily Heuchan was the reserve.

So as we hobbled back to the bus, we sat down on our aching legs for the long ride back to school. We were still all very cheerful and ready for a sleep. A big thanks goes to all the teachers who helped organise the cross country competition and the training, and to the competitors for running extremely well in each of their races which consisted of 60 competitors.

PRIMARY LIGHTNING CARNIVAL

PRIMARY INTERHOUSE CROSS COUNTRY

On Wednesday, 8th August, 22 Veal' 7 All Saints' boys went to play four, twenty minute football games at Richmond Raceway and at East Fremantle Oval. Each game had two ten minute halves. Our first game was lost to Mt.Pleasant. The third game we played, we lost to Melville. Our second and fourth games we won- against Kinlock by I, and against Richmond by 3. Oberthur won the overall football competition. The only exciting and humorous part of the day was when Luke Coxon and Paul Martin went to the toilet and were brutally attacked, by birds. Luke pulled his jumper over his head, whilst Paul just kept low. Then Andrew Joyce and Robert Carbon went to the toilets in the same direction. Robert kept diving to the ground when the birds came, and Andrew just flicked his tracksuit top at them. The birds also scared some of the football players witless. A special thanks goes to the bus driver for putting up with the singing, Mr Plumb for just plain putting up with us, and to Mrs Williams for not telling off the boys who had no school uniform to go home in. Keith Pomeroy

On the 8th of May all the Veal' 7's had a cross country run which had a cross country run which was about three kilometres long. It started from the oval and went right around the school to end back at the oval. It was a tough event and I think most of the competitors would agree the sand was the hardest part of the course. Shawn Brogden from Forrest came in first, followed by Glen Lyons, Ashley Huechan, Jamie Gilroy and then Chris Richardson. For the girls Merridy Parr from Murdoch came first, followed by Lauren BridgeI', Jacqui Pozarri, Lisa Keen and Aimee Buss. On Wednesday the Year 5's and 6's had their run. The conditions were good because it was cool. These are the results. Veal' 5 Boys: Robert Mellor from Stirling, followed by Luke Smith, Paul Stockbridge, Jay Long and Gene Barker. Year 5 girls: Emma Law from Stirling, followed by Nerys Hart, Karen Nichols, Meghan Grant and Kelly Huechan. Vear 6 boys: Garth Bradshaw from Stirling, followed by Chris Harding, Steve Edwards, James Willet and Stephen Ong. Year 6 girls: Ella Tribe from Forrest, followed by Danielle Smith, Bree Goff, Sally Third and Fiona Whitelaw. The total points for each house were: O'CONNOR 36 MURDOCH 100 STIRLING 180 FORREST 250 By Rodney Hill

LIGHTNING CARNIVAL

STMARKS

On the 23rd of August, St Marks School paid us a return visit. They arrived just at the end of recess, a little late, but as we made our way down to the sport recreation centre each one of us was looking forward to a fun-ftlled sporting day. Before lunch four teams participated in two short games of Netball while the other four teams played Basketball. Then after a quick recess we swapped over, only managing one or two falls. At l2.30pm a barbecue lunch was held and while some year 7's crowded around sniffing in the smoke, some were entertained by watching others try to jump the hurdles. For the second part of the afternoon, each school had a choice of sports including hockey, soccer, volleyball and softball. When All Saints' had finished waving goodbye to St Marks we all started on our way back up to watch a video. It was most enjoyable being able to mix with students from another independent co-educational College in an active, but not in a competitive manner.

ALL SAINTS'

COLLEGE FOUNDATION

LADIES FORUM

With the fete behind us for another three years Ladies Forum has tried to enjoy 1990 by offering a balanced programme of meetings with interesting guest speakers and social gatherings while fulfUling our practical contribution to helping within the College. My sincere thanks to all those who have helped by doing such wide ranging tasks as baking, sewing, arranging flowers or washing dishes. The last two years have seen increasing numbers of mothers returning to the workforce, as a result of which our trial of holding evening meetings has been successful in general terms in providing a way for those mothers to participate. Unfortunately it has also meant that there are less people to help with activities during school-hour tasks. The continued support of the mothers of former students in both our social gatherings and working bees is to be commended, especially their terrific contribution of taking over the job of baking the Christmas Puddings. Finally I wish to thank the College staff, and in particular Mr AIan Brown, Mrs Joy O'Grady and Mr Tom Rennick for their cheerful help during the year and to extend to those mothers who are leaving the College my best wishes.

The Board of Directors has been responsible for the continuing work of the Foundation, particularly in the areas of fund raising and support for College Activities. In 1990 membership comprised Dr. 1. Gibson (Chairman), Mrs K. Evans (Vice-Chairperson), Mr D. Hagan (Treasurer), Mrs J.E. Young(Secretary) and Mr c.A. Palmer (representing the Former Students' Association). The Principal, the Bursar and the Executive Officer of the Foundation also served as ex officio members of the Committee. Fundraising The major fund raising drive in 1990 centred on a car raffle. This project was organised as a joint venture with the Parents and Friends Association and the profit was slightly higher than $50,000. Proceeds from the raffle were used to finance the purchase of new computer equipment for students and to subsidise travel expenses of the College Band's tour of New Zealand. A number of functions were arranged during the year for new parents and these have helped to provide additional donations to the Sambell Centre Appeal which is scheduled to extend over a four year period. The economic recession has had an effect of receipt of pledge payments during 1990 and the Board has worked consistently on a programme to ensure that the Appeal target will be met over the next two years. Staff In April Mrs Wendy Gratwick was appointed as Executive Officer of the Foundation to replace Mr Kelvin Bartholomeusz who resigned to take up a new appointment as Director of Development at Swanleigh. The Board paid tribute to the achievements of Mr Bartholomeusz in his work as the first Executive Officer of the Foundation. Publicity The Foundation coordinates a number of public relations and publicity functions of the College. The regular publication of the College Quarterly provides a review of the activities of the College and a comprehensive mailing list ensures that the wider community is informed of the achievements of students and staff. The formation of the Music on the South Bank concerts under the auspices of the Arts Foundation is also proving to be a positive measure to create opportunities for the community to visit the College campus. In 1990 the programme for Back to College Day was broadened to include student presentations in the early part of the day. An invitation to grandparents of Primary School students proved to be successful with a number of guests attending a special afternoon tea. The Golf Classic held earlier in the year was also a successful venture and plans are in hand to develop this into a two-day event in 1991 to accommodate the growing number of entrants from schools throughout the State. The Board acknowledges the co-operation and support which it has received from the College community during 1990. This has enabled the Foundation to continue work for the development of facilities for All Saints' College.

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' REPORT

There seems to be rule that our P & F society never has an uneventful year. Certainly 1990 has not been an exception to this rule. The level of personal service given by a large number of people has been outstanding and the achievements significant. We always seek to increase the number of members attending our general meetings, and to this end we make an effort to run interesting programmes. This year our guest speakers have been Neil Burr, speaking on the Leeuwin Sail Training Foundation; Jan Riley, outlining the most interesting work being done on the College archives; and for the general meeting on 20 November 1990 we are preparing for a performance from the theatrical group "Moving Images". Suggestions for other attractions at out general meetings are always welcome. One of out society aims is to promote public goodwill, and we can only embrace this aim by continuing to inform our membership of om society's activities, including out general meetings. Fundraising and social events have featured high on this year's list of activities. The BMW raffle and out Tenth Anniversary Grand Ball come immediately to mind as highlights of the year. We thank: John Hill and Jeremy AlIen for their leadership and organisational skills which led to the success of these (and other) enterprises. The Car Raffle was conducted in conjunction with the Foundation and the Band Committee. So succesful was it that not only did it enable the Band's tour of New Zealand, but also provided the P&F with enough funds to donate $40 000 to the College to contribute towards computers for student use. We thank: the Foundation Executive Officers, Kelvin Bartholomeusz and Wendy Gratwick for their skills and enterprise which contributed to this success. And the Ball, well, many people will know about the magnificence of that evening. It was a fitting occasion to celebrate the ten years of quite remarkable growth of out college. There is much of which we can all be proud. Jeremy's detailed organization ensured an event which will serve as an on-going pleasant reminder. Many thanks are due to Rae Poon for her tireless efforts in encouraging, through the Ladies Forum, family commitment to the life of the college. And to Kaye Evans we most say "Well done". Kaye has continued to ensure that the Uniform Store, a very significant enterprise, runs smootWy and profitably. Most people will be well aware that any organisation revolves around the secretarial skills that "hold it all together". We have been honoured this year with the skills and devotion to duty of out secretary, Lois Bowden. Much appreciation is due to Lois for demanding job particularly well done, and also to Margaret Armstrong, who was assistant secretary, has been invaluable support, not only in utilizing her secretarial skills, but in organising the Telephone Tree as well. Mention has been made of $40 000 which the P & F has been able to donate for computers, but in addition to this, some $20,000 has been provided to support the College Foundation, and $10 000 has been made available to members of the teaching stafffor their individual projects. A fmther $\000 was contributed to support a College Athletics Camp, and $1500 to help fund the Year 12 Dinner.

These monies have a major effect on facilitating College activities, and clearly need to be managed with a high degree of professionalism. Our treasurer, Daniel Surin, is to be thanked sincerely for the large amount of time and attention he has given to this task. Our Membership has been kept well informed on Education and Library matters throughout the year be Jan Riley. Jan has taken a particular interest in her role on the executive and we thanked her for the wealth of important information she has brought to members. Similarly, Ann Shugg has devoted much time and talent to keeping members informed of the activities of the Federation of Independent Schools' Parents' Associations. All Saints College hosted this year's FISPA conference and Ann is to be congratulated on her contribution towards ensuring the everting was the success it was. The canteen occupies a very profile position in the life of the college, and its management clearly requires a lot of skill and attention. The task of linking the P & F with the canteen operations is a demanding one, and this has been done admirably throughout the year by J oanne Peters. We thank Joanne heartily for the time, care and interest she has taken in her role. Clearly many people have put in much time, effort and skill to ensure the P & F affairs have run well. Included are our Society's Vice-Presidents, Barry Carter and Wayne Robinson. Their contribution and support is gratefully acknowledged. Indeed, the cumulative effort has certainly seen a fair measure of success in achieving the aim of promoting in every way of success in achieving the aim of promoting in every way the welfare of All Saints' College. In achieving this aim, I give grateful thanks to all those parents and friends who have supported the wide range of P & F activities. Please continue with your support. The benefits to the whole All Saints College Community are immeasurable. David Sewe/l, President

EDITORIAL AFTERWORD

COLUMBA EDITORIAL COMMITTEE Gwen Poon, Rachael Hogg, Nicholas Kelly, Jonathan Greville, Mr S. Gipson, Liz Redman, Duncan Watkinson. The compilation of a College Yearbook such as this is a complex and at times frustrating venture. The demands of time, pressures of examinations, the tardiness of contributors, the vagaries of technology all ensure that the role of Editor is a consistently "exciting" one. However, the publication would never have got to press had it not been for the tremendous efforts of several key people. Jonathon Greville, chairman of the Publications sub-committee worked in a highly efficient and organised way to ensure that activities of note were identified and articles were written. (There is no truth in the rumour that he employed overt threats and brute strength to ensure contributors kept to deadlines!) Together with Rachael Hogg, Gwen Poon, Liz Redman, and Nick Kelly. Jon kept us all heading in the right direction. Mrs Sue Bedford and her Year 11 Applied Computing class also worked all second semester typing articles. Their efforts made the whole process much more efficient. Many of the photographs in Columba also appear by the good graces and generous hard work of Mr Brayden Short - a Yearbook is nothing without pictures. Mrs Carol Western and Ms Ros Grantham were also especially helpful - particularly in providing names to faces. Finally, may I say that, inevitably there will be omissions and errors. For these, I humbly apologise in advance. Believe me, they are not intentional. S. Gipson, Columba '90 Editor
