From the ChC1irmC1n of' the 80cLrd Every year at All Saints' College is exciting: however 1999 takes the prize. We are proceeding with a building programme which will enable the College to add a swimming pool and a special centre for our Year 12s to its existing facilities. Our achievements over the last eighteen years are something to be proud of, and this building programme will secure the College's future for many years to come. One caution I must raise is that while the Year 12 Learning Centre will generate fee income adequate to service borrowings, a swimming pool will not create revenue: indeed, it will be cash negative. On top of the day-to-day activities, therefore, we have a major fundraising campaign underway to make this great College an even better environment in which to teach and learn, and we will need continuing support from the whole College family to achieve these goals. On another note, I would like to thank parents for the voluntary work that goes into making the College operate from day to day. All your work, from the organisation and catering for functions through to the substantial input from the Board members, is greatly appreciated. I would also like to leave a thought with the Year 12 leavers. All Saints' has done everything at its disposal to give you a great start. In return, you might ask 'What can I do for the College?'. An obvious way you can help is by actively supporting the Former Students' Association. I wish you all the best for the future and thank you for the marvellous contribution the 1999 Year 12s have made to the life of All Saints' College.

A few years ago I was sitting sketching on the banks of a canal in Venice, just down from the landing where they still make gondolas. I was drawing the rear end of a red and blue barge-like boat which was moored on the far side of the canal. A man was busy 'messing about' in a boat on the near side of the canal. He began to take an interest in my sketch. We conducted a friendly dialogue in a mixture of English and Italian and he became animated about my drawing. I was sure that he wasn't a big art dealer in disguise, but I was hopeful. It soon dawned on me that he was the owner of the other boat as well and he explained that it had been in the family for 145 years, handed down from one generation to the next. We parted with him accepting my request to sign my drawing. I still treasure that incident and I still have the sketch in my book. I have always enjoyed the tradition of things being handed down from one generation to the next, with some sort of responsibility going in both directions. Those who pass on the thing, the concept, the artefact or whatever pass on their achievements and their stewardship to the next generation and accept the consequences of someone else taking that task. The recipients take on the responsibility with the expectation that they will repeat the cycle once again, sometime in the future. We have such traditions within the College, where older students work with younger students in the Peer Support Programme and the Peer Tutoring Programmes in both the Senior School and the Junior School. Former students come back to the College to help with the College Production, the Dance Festival and athletics carnivals, and Senior School students help with the Junior School carnivals. What is happening in these situations is that an older student is helping a less experienced student to achieve their particular objective, whilst achieving something for themselves. In giving they receive! This is the season for the changing of the guard. The Year 12s are completing their tour of duty as student leaders and they are passing on their entrusted responsibility to the next generation of students who have stepped forward as potential leaders for the 2000 Student Executive and a variety of other roles. The people who are part of these organised activities are not only sharing in the task at hand, but are also a valuable part of passing on the tradition itself, with a shared and mutual responsibility for each other. When my friend in Venice received the boat through the family, he accepted more than just a boat, but also a share in the responsibility of caring for something on behalf of others. This is the important element of the shared culture by which all civilised societies mark themselves.

A H London October 1999

A rnedita.tion on a. Lotto ticket Have you ever wondered what you would do if you won Lotto? Most of us think that we would need to be very lucky, especially as the odds run at about four million to one! My dad, getting pretty wise at eighty years of age, says that the definition of real luck is to win Lotto without having bought a ticket! If you won Lotto, what would you do? Don't kid yourself that you would immediately make large donations to charity. Experience shows that few winners ever do. Remember Jesus' story about the 'prodigal son', who when he came into a large sum of money left home, went to a distant country and wasted his money on reckless living? I think that there is a bit of the 'prodigal' in us all. If we were struck by a huge win, we would take our Lotto fortune and go 'wild' in some sort of way. And when we came to our senses, we would regret the 10 metre powerboat sitting unused in the driveway or the super hundred-volume Encyclopaedia of Civilisation sitting unopened on a bookshelf - products of our greeds rather than our needs.

Our human condition has always been a bit skewed towards self centredness. Our desires rather than our necessities have so frequently cut us off from human relationships, as they did to the prodigal son. It is so easy, when everything is available to us, to value material goods above human relationships. However, if the big one comes your way, don't feel that you had better not collect it. Again the teaching of Jesus comes to the rescue, for in his story of the 'shrewd steward', we are told that we should use our worldly wealth to make friends and cement relationships. The point of such teaching is that while material goods will pass away and wealth will dissipate, human relationships are of far greater value than anything that the world of money can buy. The expression 'poor little rich boy' comes sharply into focus when measured up against what Jesus has to say about wealth - not that we shou Id not have it. but how we shou Id use it. If a11 that we have does not build up human relationships, then we may as well not have it. Let's try and 'meditate' on that idea next time we see a Lotto ticket. What's your Lotto dream? Father Terry Curtis College Chaplain

From the President of the P&F

As the end of the year draws near, let me reflect on some of the activities and the people of the P&F. Once again we have been very active in supporting the College in many different ways. These have included student sponsorship, improvements to the undercover area outside the canteen, funding both Senior and Junior School sporting breakfasts, and spending in excess of $15,000 on the 'teachers' wish list'. The list goes on, with the P&F putting more than $110,000 back into the College so far this year. Successful activities have included the P&F Sundowner in February, and the City to Surf Fun Run in Term 3. This year we had 273 entrants (runners and walkers) who all enjoyed an active social event followed by an excellent lunch. In addition, the College once again won the largest school group category and the trophy for the fastest school team over the 12km.

• Anthea Kilminster (Uniform Store representative and P&F Secretary); • Doreen Tyers (Ladies' Forum representative); • The remainder of the Executive includes Robert Willis, Don Spector, Terry Blenkinsop, Harry Goff and Len Preedy. The P&F and Anthea Kilminster have recently said goodbye to Mrs Ruth McCracken-Young, who retired in August 1999 after many years of dedicated service. Farewell functions were held for Ruth, and they were attended by parents who had worked with her over the years. The new Manager is Mrs Joanne Lockwood, and we wish her well in this role. The P&F is very fortunate to have an excellent group of employed staff in the Canteen and Uniform Store, and we are very appreciative of the good work that they do. However, to keep costs down we always need volunteers to help out. If you want an enjoyable break from your normal activities, please consider volunteering. This plea is not just directed at the mothers!

This year an Executive of fourteen College parents was elected, with the following people taking on specific roles: • David Kerr is the Treasurer and a member of the Board of Management; • Charmian Barnett is a P&F representative on the Board of Management; • Rosemary Harrison represents the Friends of Music on the Executive; • Phil Angel looks after the Activities portfolio; • Jeremy Alien looks after Public Relations and is Assistant Secretary.

I encourage you all to support the College's fundraising projects, and even more importantly, I encourage you to get involved in the College.

Three other members have 'contact' jobs: • Denise Baillie (Canteen representative);

Ross McCaffrey P&F President

With the many changes and developments underway in the College at the moment, the P&F Executive has decided to make one meeting per term an open forum. We look forward to seeing many new faces at these open foru ms next yea r.

The year is all but complete, certainly for the College's Year 12 cohort, and looking back at the ach ievements of the 1999 Student Executive, it is amazing to realise both the number and diversity of events the Exec has been involved in this year. I can honestly say that it has been a real honour to be associated with these achievements, and I take this opportunity to thank the members of the Student Executive for their hard work and dedication. This report is just a small part of the nineteenth edition of Columbo. I have little doubt that it looks fantastic, judging by the tireless efforts that Kym Abbott and her subcommittee have invested in its creation. I would encourage you to browse its pages appreciating, in pictorial and written form, the many elements that make up All Saints' College. The Student Executive met for the first time during the annual Leadership Camp at Kooringal during December of last year. This camp saw us really develop as a group, learning each other's strengths and really coming together as a cohesive unit. Thanks must go to Mr Hill, Miss Bozich and Mrs Spencer for their help. Both the Student Executive and the Student Council, I feel, have contributed much to the life of the College. The Year" and 12 Student Executive Ball stands out as one of the highlights of the year: an extremely enjoyable evening was had by all. Also for Year 12s, the River Cruise was another social highlight. Congratulations to Andrew Mills and his subcommittee for the success of these events. Well over $1,500 has been raised for charity this year due to the work of Liesl Brown and her subcommittee. Organisations including the Red Cross, the Cancer Foundation of Western Australia, the SIDS Foundation and the Children's Medical Research Institute have benefited from your generosity. The Slave Auction in aid of the College's long-term project in Cambodia through World Vision was another example of the willingness of the students and staff of the College to 'dig deep', giving to those less fortunate than ourselves. Social sporting events resulting in a battle of the sexes (Chauvinist Shield) and a battle of the wits (Staff vs Students Cup) were organised by Siobhan Wood and her subcommittee, and they are to be commended on their success. Also, Siobhan's organisation of leavers' gear was a credit to her.

true team leader: with the

1999 Student

Executive in late October

Each of the House Captains - Kim Angel, Brad Avery, Amanda Bracken, Andrea McCrackan, Emily Moore and Sarah Slade - brought to their respective Houses individual leadership styles which have resulted in an extremely competitive and close interhouse competition this year. Each of them has done a marvellous job in dealing with the responsibilities of their positions. I would like to thank all of you who have given us your support this year. In particular, sincere thanks to Ms Gail Costello and Mr Greg Hill, without whom we would not have achieved as much as we have. As I write, we are in the middle of interviews for Student Executive positions for 2000. This is a new process, and it has served to reveal to me the strength and depth of leadership that abounds in the College. My best wishes go to Max Jeganathan and next year's Student Executive. This year has been a huge learning experience for me, and I thank you all for the opportunity, as well as for your generous support. Best wishes to all of you for the future.

Simone Lindsay-Rae brought a fresh approach to Variety Night this year, incorporating a number of original ideas into an event that was enjoyed by all who attended (and indeed participated). Also, her organisation of the Annual Battle of the Bands was superb. She is to be congratulated, as is her subcommittee.

Gareth Parker

I would also like to thank Blake Klyen, something of an unsung hero in the Student Executive in his position as Secretary-Treasurer. Whilst lacking the profile of some other positions, his tireless efforts in dealing with the administrative responsibilities associated with the Exec ensured that we ran a 'tight ship'.

Ente~inment

As the Chairperson of the Cultural Subcommittee, I had to organise Battle of the Bands and Variety Night. These are two annual events held at the College in which people compete in either music or dance categories, or where bands have a night to showcase their talents. This year we joined with Corpus Christi in organising a second Battle of the Bands, which was very successful. I had so much fun organising these events, and at the same time I was able to make many new friends. Thank you so much to my subcommittee, who helped me throughout the year - Anthea Smyth, Rohan Mahendran, L10yd Johnson and Mrs Bell.

Subcommittee

My year as Chairperson of the Entertainment Subcommittee began in late 199B, when Mr Hill and I began planning the College Ball for 23 April. With the help of my committee and others, the underwater theme was successfully carried through from the invitations to the overall decorations. Resplendent in our formal wear and full after an excellent buffet meal, we danced the night away to the local band Joob and the DJ Steve from Beat City Sounds. By all accounts everyone had a great time. The other major social occasion was the Year 12 River Cruise on 15 September. Over 100 people, including Italian exchange students, danced and socialised for three hours whilst cruising the Swan River. My thanks for their help throughout the year go to my committee (Natalie Miller, Tegan Johns, Kym Abbott and Kim Angel), and to Mr and Mrs Angel. A special thank you to Mr Hill and Mrs Bradshaw for their guidance and help.

My experience as Secretary/Treasurer of the 1999 Student Executive began last year at the Executive Camp, which we almost didn't find after an Bkm hike. Since then, I have had the opportunity to be involved in many of the College activities organised by the Executive.

A wise person once told me, 'Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like hard work'. When first given the opportunity to be part of the Student Executive, although not fully aware of the workload involved, I was excited by the possibilities.

As Treasurer, my first task involved organising the monetary aspects of many Executive activities and counting money donated to various charity organisations after many freeÂ dress days.

The publications portfolio primarily involves the production of the College yearbook, Calumba. Although a daunting task at first, I was guided through the maze of deadlines and yellow sheets by the experience of Mrs Renwick and Mr Stapleton. At my side throughout the year was the fantastic group of volunteers who made up the Publications Subcommittee. I'm â&#x20AC;˘".. positive the work ethic of this group has set new standards for years to come.

As Secretary, I have been responsible for taking minutes at each Student Executive and Council Meeting. Hopefully, these minutes will document the hard work and achievements of the Student Executive and Council and all those involved. My year as Secretary/Treasurer has been both busy and fulfilling and is a time that I will look back on fondly for many years to come. Bloke Klyen

I would therefore like to wish the very best of luck to next year's Chairperson, Michael Bollig. As Student Editor, it gives me pleasure to welcome you to the 1999 Calumba. Kym Abbott

ChcLirperson,

Socid.l Concern Subcommittee

Most people think that being an Exec member just means an extra workload - and yes, sometimes it does. I won't deny the stress that I've sometimes gone through - trying to order dozens of roses in my first week on the job, motivating and organising teams for Staff vs Students and Chauvinist Shield competitions, and meeting deadlines for leavers' gear. Those who know me will know that I have lots to say and always have opinions and ideas, so to be given a louder 'voice' in the College has been something that I have enjoyed. Not only have I had the chance to hold several successful events during the year, but I've also been able to become close to the other Exec members. I feel like we've made a good team and we've all had lots of good times along the wayl

This year was a big success for fundraising at ASC. We've raised heaps with Red Nose Day and Daffodil Day - all our proceeds going to Sids and the Cancer Foundation. The Slave Auction was an amusing event in which the teachers generously donated some wonderful prizes. All proceeds from the auction went to our long-term project with World Vision through which we sponsor a village. Amnesty International Day supported a good cause, and our free dress days helped Care Australia. A big thank you to my subcommittee and Father Terry.

When I asked people what they thought of Mrs Western, one

comment stuck: 'She's our second mum'. It's true: she is a

wonderful and caring individual who is a mother to every All

Saints' student. She acts as a problem-solver, whether it be to

find the person you need, answer the questions nobody seems to

know the answer to, or simply to assist lost and scared Year 8s in

their first days at College. Her patience is incredible, especially

when around fifty students try to cram into her airconditioned

office on scorching summer days, or when about ten students all

want her at the same time. Whatever the situation, Mrs Western

remains calm, collected and helpful.

One thing that amazes everyone is her ability to know every

student's name back to front. Her friendly nature and willingness

to help is appreciated by all.

Thank you for everything, Mrs Western, and we look forward to

your next warm greeting.

xecutive When thirteen newly-appointed Exec members, three teachers and one chaplain venture down south for five days, most people would expect a typical camp. So did we, but we were wrong ... On the first day, we definitely got our exercise and were forced to work together and become an effective team quickly. This proved that, together, we made a strong team that could only get stronger. Over the next four days, lots of 'situations' were thrown our way which, most of the time, involved either blindfolds, ropes and wooden planks or 'acid pits' and 'custard rivers'! Amongst all this 'learning', there was plenty of free time for having fun. All Exec members will have memories of Blake's stripdowns, CC's death throes, 'Mr Clean', the road directions left for Mr Radich, Monopoly with Brad and Si mane, Mr Hill's 'jokes', the 'serial killer', those showers (and that shower the boys had - thanks to Hilly!), Miss Bozich's debriefs (!), the puppy, and, of course, Fr Terry's delicious food!! Thanks to all the teachers (Mr Hill, Mrs Spencer, Miss Bozich, Fr Terry, Mrs Brown, Mr Radich, Ms Costello and Mr London) who contributed to the success of this year's Exec Camp!

'Yes mum, I've got everything. Can we go now?' At nine o'clock, the Brockman Avenue lawns were packed with eager and excited Year 8 students who were all ready for their first Senior School camp. After names were checked off, bags packed and goodbyes said, we headed off to Forest Edge Camp. After a reasonably short bus trip we were really looking forward to finding out about the accommodation. The group I was in had accommodation in tents in a camping ground close to the dam. It took us half a day to get there by climbing walls, walking along fallen tree trunks over creeks and flying on a Tarzan rope. We cooked our own dinner that night and luckily no one got sick or died from food poisoning. In the morning we made a raft and then paddled half way out in the dam and back again. We had really cool night activities such as a Mini Olympics, a video night, a disco and also a quiz night. Everyone had fun during these activities. During the day we also did heaps of great activities like the pamper pole, abseiling, the flying fox, t-shirt designing, boomerang paintings, horseriding and theconfidencecou~e. We were all tired by the end of each day, but thoroughly enjoyed every activity. Everyone learned to do something that they hadn't done before and also overcame a challenge. Big thank yous go to Mr Davies and Mrs Bell, and also to all of the Year 12 students who came along to help.

We were separated into two groups and housed at the Timbarra Lodge or the new Currawong Lodge. Soon after our arrival we were well and truly into the programmed activities.

During the week we participated in stimulating physical activities such as rock-climbing, abseiling, rafting, canoeing, the confidence course and hiking. Less strenuous activities included a visit to the Athlone Goat Farm (don't sit in the front row l) and the townsite of Dwellingup, archery, bushcraft skills and basic first aid instruction.

The camp was, at times, cold, wet and muddy. At other times we

were excited, apprehensive, amazed and challenged.

Overall we enjoyed the camp and would like to thank Mr Hancy and all the staff who endured and enjoyed it with us. Claire Cunning ton and Louisa Kennard Year 9

AdvCLnced 20cRclimbing CLnd Abseiling The Saturday we arrived at Quarranup camp in Albany had started early, but we were all excited and few of us slept on the journey down. After acquainting ourselves with the surrounds, erecting tents and hoochies and finding out where the ablutions were, we clambered back onto the bus. The place to which we were taken was absolutely breathtaking. The Natural Bridge area captured the imaginations of us all, to the extent that Terry Hewett (our instructor) had to stop giving instructions and acknowledge that yes, this was a beautifu, place but lying dead at the bottom of the cliff would severely tarnish the view (or words to that effect). Day 2, we were taught how to set up a rock-climbing system, given a map, and left to explore the area and attempt the climbs we wanted. As a bribe more than anything, Terry suggested erecting a flying-fox over the Gap (a sheer drop into the pounding ocean!). This was met with great anticipation and for many was a highlight of the camp. Monday we returned to the Bridge, where we continued to put into practice our newly-acquired skills. Tuesday marked a change of environment and camp site, but not before some very serious abseiling. Taken to the Porongorup Ranges on a relatively wet day, we embarked on a forty-five minute ascent up Castle Rock. Once at the top we proceeded to stay warm, set up and start abseiling. There was a new brake system implemented and this gave us good preparation for Bluff Knoll the next day.

On Adventure Out there were three main activities: abseiling, caving and walking. Abseiling was a big challenge, although as the week went on the cliffs got higher and so did everyone's self-confidence, thanks to the encouragement of others.

4:00am start! That is what it took to have sufficient time on the face of 'The Bluff'. We were up in record time and started our descent

On behalf of the sixteen students on the camp I would sincerely like to thank Mrs Tyrrell, Mr Brewin and Terry Hewett for their great organisation of this fantastic camp.

We were all able to step over these challenges thanks to our fantastic camp group. By the end of the camp encouraging comments were all part of our conversations, and I think this is what helped us to achieve what we did.

In the early hours of Saturday 27 April, a group of sleepy, cold students assembled for the short drive to Malibu Diving. When we arrived we were sized for BCs and wetsuits, then split into two groups. Members of Group 1 headed straight to Kwinana Pool where they were required to prove their ability to sWim before being introduced to the special techniques of snorkelling.

To Albany we went on a luxury bus.

We left our mummies without any fuss.

Jack, our instructor, was a really cool guy.

He knew about boats and the winds from the sky.

He had his own yacht, the Side walk Cafe.

On it he took us out for the day.

The next few days at the pools were spent clearing masks, removing and replacing equipment and practising buddy breathing and emergency ascents. In the classroom we learned the theory behind our equipment and the dreadful dive tables.

We saw the Gap, the Bridge, a whale,

atmosphere was pretty relaxed. The nights were filled with endless kitchen duty, great music supplied by Year 10 boys, and the endless fun of waxing Nick and Adam's legs. To settle the action and excitement down we were required to study for an hour, although it sometimes became quite hard to concentrate with everyone in anti-homework mood.

The last day was one to remember. We were filled with excitement and some trepidation at having to complete our boat dive. We were divided into three groups: Group 1 dived whilst Group 2 studied and Group 3 sat the exam. We then swapped around.

inners' Surfing

It was an early Sunday morning as eighteen eager and excited Year 11 s arrived one by one at the front of the College. There was a feeling of expectation in the air, an expectation that would easily be met and exceeded over the next five days. Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination. After meeting Mrs Machar, who was our all-star host, and settling in a bit, we were off to Smiths Beach where we met our expert surfing instructors. After a few drills on the sand we were in the water and on the waves. Amazingly, our surfing prowess exceeded even our own expectations and we headed back from the beach feeling 'totally stoked: Over the next four days we enjoyed awesome waves, awesome instructors, awesome activities, awesome food and of course, awesome surfing. This great week climaxed in an action-packed heart-thumping surf competition on the final day, during which everyone displayed their entire showcase of wave-riding skills.

Although it is only a small portion of the appreciation that we feel, a big thanks must go to Josh and the boys, Mrs Machar, Miss Richens and Mr Whipp, who have left us all with many fond memories and truly helped to make the 1999 Surf Camp an 'elite' camp for everyone.

Max Jeganathan Year 71

After a few minor setbacks (such as our bus breaking down half way), we arrived at Springfield Horseriding School. We dragged our luggage to our rooms and 'bagsed' our beds. We got changed into our riding clothes and were off for our first lesson, where we were allocated a horse. After a few attempts, we were on our horses and ready to ride. The advanced riders went and did more advanced things while the beginners mastered the basics. It wasn't till the third day that we got to canter, and the unfortunates at the back of the trail ride emerged covered with dirt. There were always chores to be done, and to make us a little more positive towards them, they bribed us with 'points', and at the end of the week the person with the most points won a trophy. (Phil won this by about 100.)

As well as going for great trail rides, we were lucky enough to go for a ride in the rusted horse float. This truck rained rust, and as an added bonus it kept us busy trying not to fall out the back! Evening activities included games of Spotlight in the pine plantation and camping over at a farm. On our last full day, we had a gymkhana. The first game was a potato and spoon race where we had to be multiskilled, because leading a horse and balancing a potato at the same time is more than challenging. The gymkhana concluded with a fancy dress parade. We had a Zorro and a little mermaid, and what horse parade would be complete without a cowboy and an Indian?! On our last day we went for a trail ride, then said goodbye to our faithful steeds before packing up and coming home. Thanks to Ms Beemster and Mrs Beechen for a great camp.

Although we were cold and tired, we were very enthusiastic about going to the Merribrook Challenge Camp established at Margaret River. We set off in a mini-bus full of food, luggage and equipment. The four days of activities included surfing, canoeing, caving, a high ropes course (including the Pamper Pole) and orienteering. Our biggest highlight was surfing because of the fun and excitement involved. We had a few night-time activities, including Spotlight. We had to admit that the food was definitely the best camp food we'd ever tasted. Some of our meals were spaghetti bolognaise, barbecue, hamburgers and chicken. A big thank you goes to Mr Hill and Mrs Johns, and to our instructors Janet, Neil, Sam and Cameron. The camp would have been impossible without your help! Sue Chisholm and Sarah Cheung

As with all camps, looking back on this one brings back many happy memor:es. I remember our first ride to Big Brook Dam; our bushwalk to see the Cascades and through the karri forest; our ride through Heartbreak Trail; our time spent canoeing at the most beautiful river; s3ndboarding at the dunes and our evening activities of Spotlight and Olympic Games; watching Nothing to Lose Leyden contemplates his next on video and having the Concert Night on dune whilst sandboording. our last night. As with every other camp, looking back also brings back bad memories. I remember the never-ending walk uphl I on our way back from canoeing, dragging our bikes as extra weight; the hard twentyÂ minute walk on sand through sun and wind to the top of the sand dune - only so that we could slide down it for five seconds; the way blackberry bushes stick to your skin and rip it as you go past whilst riding; the gruesome dehydrated dinner we had prepared for us by our guide; the way we had to line up to have our showers and the way the showers turned from freezing cold to boiling hot to no water at all! And last but not least, the shocked feeling you get when you fall off your bike after convincing yourself that there's no way you would fall. Nevertheless, the Pemberton Cycling Camp was my most memorable camp and I would encourage others to do it. It combines fun with challenge, excitement, friendships and the feeling of contentment you get after completing something that you thought you couldn't do.

Aaargh: this beach is the best!

After we lost our first destination (Coral Bay) due to the cyclone, we were all a little disappointed to find that the camp was to be moved to a small town down south called Walpole.

our totally awesome instructor Joel. The only word to describe the scenery was 'spectacular'. All around were trees, trees and more trees.

Once we arrived at our camp site and explored the self-contained units which were to be our homes for the next four nights, we were suddenly all a bit reluctant to admit that we had ever been disappointed about the change of venue. They even had their own kitchen, which was soon filled with the many kilograms of food we had brought down from Perth with us.

Other than just kayaking we did such things as 14 kilometre walks [or crawls by the end), the tree-top walk at the Valley of the Giants, night walks, shopping at rea/ supermarkets, all-night-stay-ups charged on Coke, and the most exciting of them all, a boat trip with Gary Muir, a true local. He and his partner (whom all of the girls and even Miss Bozich found gorgeous), pulled the boat in at some dunes. We had a stroll over the dunes to a place called Bald Head where we were taken to do the BHE. That was a truly fantastic experience that was talked about by all until we got home the following day.

What happened in the next few minutes involved a lot of arguing and serious discussion over who would be sleeping in which bed. These dwellings were very comfortable for the rest of the stay. In terms of the kayaking, the camp was excellent. For the first few days we concentrated on the local rivers until we were confident that we could tackle the ferocious 1 metre swells of Walpole Inlet. Whilst out on these 10 kilometre expeditions we also got a great run-down on the area, which is a National Heritage listed area, from

A very special thanks must go to Miss Bozich, Mr Dundas and Joel Toomey for organizing the best camp ever. The times spent with friends will be memories forever.

After packing our 'trusty' bus and trundling on down to Collie, we arrived among the sweet scent of the bush at Honeymoon Pool. We were immediately told that we had to be on the water in an hour, and after a mad rush to claim tent sites and many (failed) attempts to pitch the tents themselves, we got our first taste of some paddling action. We were soon to learn how gruelling this could be, and that our first little rapid was nothing in comparison to some of the challenges we were to face. Along with the fifteen to twenty odd kilometres of white water we managed to tame, we also mastered waterfalls, seemingly impossible rapids and those really exhausting canals. After each day's kayaking experiences, exhaustion took over and reduced our interests to food and sitting around the campfire. On the last night, however, Bollig's lemonÂ scented shaving cream featured, and some of us were reduced to small piles of white shaving cream. We would all especially like to thank our guides, Andy and Matt, for helping us to stay afloat for most of the camp. A special mention must go to Andy for being such a good sport despite all the sheep-related Kiwi jokes we threw at him. We would also like to thank Mr Collins and Bev for all of their help and encouragement during the camp because without them, we would not have had half as much fun!

Following the recent tradition, there were again four retreats for the Year 12 contingent this year. They were arranged so that there were two running simultaneously at different locations - Jarrahdale and Manjedal. With teachers mixing at both locations and each site being run by either Mr Price or Father Terry, the retreats were a form of relaxation for the Year 12s who were auout to begin a hectic period in their lives. A good time was had by all - both staff and students. The report that follows focuses on Manjedel but sums up retreats in general. Thirty students arrived at the Chapel car park ready and eager to depart for Manjedal Scout Hall and begin their Year' 2 retreat. There was one small problem: no bus. After this slight technical difficulty had been overcome, all thirty students and Father Terry clambered aboard the coach and headed off for their adventure. After the short bus trip to Manjedal Scout Hall we retrieved our luggage from the bus and stowed it in our dorms and were then greeted by our teachers, Terry (Curtis), Kent (Wllliams), Kylie (Sydney), Gail (Costello), Bob (Glasheen) and Maureen (Bradshaw). We played the typical 'get to know your peers' games and then hastily headed off for dinner. After dinner, we were introduced to the idea of 'warm fuzzies', a concept that was adopted with gusto.

The following day was taken up with leadership and team-skillsÂ building exercises. The highlight of the day was 'How Bizarre', where there were a few 'interesting' costumes such as Tris Aldrich's bikini, Derek's realistic James Crawford mask and Emily's witch costume. This was followed by a formal dinner and a motivational talk from ex-VFL player Barry Cable. The night ended with a quiz in which Aiden, myself, Chris and Tris (Loney) prevailed. The final day was hectic, to say the least. With a few more games to play (where we actually learned things and I developed my fear of blindfolds) and tidying up to do, there wasn't much spare time. We finally headed for home after leaving the camp in a reasonable state for the next group of retreaters. Thanks go to Father Terry and all the staff who made the retreat so enjoyable, and to the chef for his culinary creations.

After three exhilarating sessions of the leadership programme during our last days of Term 4 in 1998, many of us applied to be part of the Peer Support Programme in 1999. We were then divided into two main groups: Peer Support for the Year 8s and Peer Support for the Year 6s. I was fortunate enough to be one of the people chosen to be a Peer Support leader with the Year 6s. When I first met my group they looked as if they were ready to be the challenge of my life. It was scary, yet exciting at the same time. Our first session was disastrous, with more people chatting amongst themselves than even taking a glance at my partner and me. However, after settling the awkward moments and getting to know my group and asking their names and hobbies, likes and dislikes, we settled in pretty well. Our sessions together slid by with us barely noticing the time, and we had more and more fun as the weeks went by. The games and laughs were really unforgettable.

that we all gained. As far as I'm concerned, the Peer Support Programme was a fantastic success. (You can ask any of my Year 6s about it, too, and they'll agree!) Do join Peer Support. The experience gave me many blissful memories that I'll never forget, and it will do the same for you, too. Nina Gunawan

to.... Mrs SCLnd~ Potter We are sadly saying farewell and happy retirement to Sandy Potter, Head of the Senior Library at All Saints' for the last nine years.

We have had a wonderful time with the Year 11s coming to the Junior School to play games and get to know each other. We were given buddies and then every Wednesday morning our buddies would come down and play games. Here are some of them:

* a trust game where someone would stand on a wall and fall off into the other people's arms; * a game called Fluffy Bunnies where we had to stuff as many *

Mrs Potter was a great supporter of her Tutor Group and of Murdoch House, and a keen advocate of debating and interhouse sports. Mrs Potter's involvement in the College, including her deep affiliation with the library, extended to many extracurricular activities. She was a supervising teacher at the Year 8 camp and prided herself on making the transition to secondary schooling smoother for those Year 8s in her care. We wish Mrs Potter all the best with her creative writing in her retirement. Cherie Mincherton Year 72

My favourite game was Scarecrow. We enjoyed this very much and have had lots of fun with our buddies.

Rebecca Denford Year 6 Peer Support was GREAT! Every Wednesday I would meet three Year 11s and nine or ten friends on the lawn by the Photography Room. From there we would participate in challenging activities that involved concentration and teamwork. The thing I remember most is us having to balance a bowl of water on our feet and take off our shoes before lowering the bowl to the ground. First off we spilled it, And mummy came too. hitting no one in particular, but the second time it spilled all over Michael, one of our Peer Support leaders. My favourite day was the last day as we had a huge feast with popcorn, crisps and other goodies. It ended with a massive food fight. I really enjoyed the term-long course, and I hope everyone else did too! Lloyd Johnson YearB

Competition

Nine students represented All Saints' College in this year's Hammarskbld Trophy Competition held at the University of Western Australia in April. The competition is rUIl Australia-wide by the United Nations Youth Association and is for students in Years 10, 11 and 12. During the competition you represent a country in a mock session of the United Nations Security Council. You have to use your skills in public speaking, negotiation and diplomacy to get what you want while negotiating with other countries. You work together in teams of three, each taking a role in working to get what you want for the benefit of your country. One person researches information on the background of your country, another speaks and talks about resolutions and your views on the resolution, and the third - the negotiator - has to try and persuade other countries to do what is right. During the preliminary round, each team competes for a spot in the final. This is a prestigious event held in the Legislative Assembly of the WA Parliament. One of this year's three teams made it through to the final: on the last day of Term 1, Jeremy Kung, Michael Gibbons and myself debated, negotiated and generally put up a good fight. Although we didn't win we enjoyed ourselves very much, and I would recommend anyone interested in world politics, public speaking, diplomacy and having a good time to have a go in next year's competition.

This year All Saints' committed three teams to the WA Mock Trials Competition held at the Central Law Courts. There were two Year 11 teams and one Year 12 team competing from the Year 11 and 12 Political and Legal Studies classes. All of these teams did extremely well and achieved great results. In each team there are two barristers, who question the witnesses and argue the case, and one solicitor, who takes notes and advises the barristers. There are also two witnesses for the council and a court orderly or magistrate's assistant. The teams are assigned to either defend or prosecute their clients in cases that range from drunken bar fights to jewellery theft. The Year 11 teams won four out of the six cases and the Year 12s won two out of their three trials. This is a great effort and we hope to continue our winning streak into next year. We would like to thank Perth solicitor Michael Parrella, who gave up his time to coach our Mock Trial teams. Without his assistance, we would have been unable to achieve the quality results we did. Thanks must also go to Mr Brown for helping us to prepare our cases, driving the bus...and taking us to McDonald's afterwards.

This year has seen the award scheme firmly establishing itself as part of the College culture. In particular a strong group has developed in the Year lOs, with almost twenty per cent of the year group involved. Expeditions have seen groups from the College tackling various sections of the Bibbulmun Track over two days, the latest walking from Sullivan Rock to North Bannister (see photos). The group enjoyed (?) sub-zero temperatures overnight, yet still remained cheerful and supportive of each other. Other elements of the award have seen students receiving their Senior First Aid Certificate, learning musical instruments, dancing, giving volunteer help to various local organisations, taking part in a range of sporting activities and much, much more.

TheCLtre Sports

Once again this year Theatre Sports participants threw themselves into Saturday training sessions with enthusiasm and dedication. The lead-up to the competition itself is vital, and the training programme builds team/collaborative skills and enhances students' creativity while at the same time teaching the 'grammar' of the games that make up the actual performance evening. All great comics blend spontaneity with careful behind-the-scenes preparation, and this classic combination made for a wonderful evening's entertainment and some very memorable one-liners on the night. The emphasis throughout Theatre Sports is on participation, not competition, although teams do accrue points for their Houses. Durack took the House trophy...but the enjoyment everyone got out of the programme is the real measure of its success. For the first time this year, Angela and Michael Sanderson-Green, who work with students throughout the Theatre Sports training programme, sponsored a team for the Interschool Theatre Sports Competition and donated a shield. The students who went forward to this phase of the competition had a wonderful time and we hope we will be able to put together another interschool team next year. Thanks go to all the students who took part in Theatre Sports 1999, and especially to Michael and Angela Sanderson-Green for their professional input. We look forward to seeing yet more of you at the Theatre Sports training programme in 2000.

BCLttle oT the BCLnds In June, the College held its annual Battle of the Bands competition. Drawing bigger crowds than any previous year, the bands that performed were nothing short of professional. Restless Souls, Kingsmen and Tantrum were the bands from Years 11 and 12, and in between the acts there was an opportunity for audience members to show their talents by singing or playing the drums. At the end of the night the judges awarded first prize to the very professional Restless Souls with Michael Senini, Justin Story, Jamie Anderson and Max Jeganathan. Second prize went to Tantrum and third prize to the Kingsmen. The night was a great success and would not have been possible without the dedication and assistance of Mrs Bell, Simone Lindsay-Rae, the Cultural Subcommittee and our very outspoken judging panel.

On Tuesday 24 September, the Cultural Subcommittee organised this year's Variety Night. The night revolved around a Battle of the Sexes competition between the guys and girls, hosted by Mr Stapleton. (Unfortunately the guys won.) A special thanks must go to all the panel members. Eleven different music and dance acts also competed during the evening. These were of outstanding quality, and special congratulations must go to the Spice Girls, Ben Watson and Jasmine Leong, Sarah Slade and Talei Longbottom. Thank you so much to Dags, Amanda and Janna for being the best cheerleaders and to the judges, Restless Souls band, Mrs Bell, the sound and lighting guys and of course the committee. A special thanks must to go the Exec, who helped with the organisation, Emily Moore, who was the MC, the teachers who helped supervise on the night and everyone who participated and made the night a great success!

Group

One aspect of the College's extracurricular activities that has excelled itself in recent years has been the Youth Group. Having commenced as a Year 8 activity with thirty members, it has now taken on a major role in the Senior School. It offers a safe venue for students to interact with one another and some staff - a group with minimal rules offering supervised freedom for each individual. This year, the Youth Group has continued to grow in popularity amongst the entire Senior School. Membership has now passed the 100 mark and looks set to continue increasing. Specific activities - other than the general 'fun and games' - have included ice-skating evenings, Tropical Twist outings (an indoor playground with terrific facilities introduced to us by Year 10 student Cameron Kerr) and a Tae Kwon Do evening. We have also planned a visit by 'Spinback', at which the students can make and colour their own boomerangs and learn to throw them. As with the rest of the College, Youth Group members are encouraged to participate in community activities. This has resulted in them providing assistance to Clean Up Australia Day and the Juvenile Diabetes Group's cycle day. We cannot allow a report to pass without mentioning the fundraising events. The Winter Sleepover was an enormous success yet again, raising $1,000 for Perth City Mission and enough to sponsor two tables at the Christmas Party in King's Park. We also 'adopted' the Frederick Guest Village and donated funds towards the purchase of a bus for their members. As in previous years, discos featured prominently, not least of which were the Junior School events in September. Throughout the year, we have all really appreciated the support from Year 12s and ex-students of All Saints' who have been sufficiently motivated to offer their time.

1999 Prod.uction

Anyone in the audience of the 1999 College production of Tin Pan Ali would have to have been surprised by the young talent that brought the downtown streets of Chicago to life with music, dance and corny jokes. What they wouldn't see is the effort that every cast member - from the minor to the major characters - put in, and the teamwork and dedication that it took to produce a wonderful and memorable performance for a four-night fun-packed adventure.

spinning brooms with Mr Roberts and Miss Richens - thank you. (We were the cross-country team's breakfast entertainment on numerous occasions.) None of us will forget the embarrassing moment on the second night when the dust cart brigade began to dance and spin the brooms and Chris Dunn's pants fell down. There are so many memories we can't list them all, but the memory of the spectacular fight scene at the end - choreographed by cast members themselves - will stay with us always.

For months, a group of people officially known as 'The Cast' came together every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to rehearse. They also gave up the whole second week of their school holidays for the show. The cast ranged from Year 8 to Year 12 and the leads were from Year 9, Year 10 and Year 12. This was the youngest cast in the school's history, and I'd say one of the most enjoyable as well. When it all began we didn't really know each other, but by the end we were like a huge family.

For those who missed out on the show, we'd like to say 'See ya next year...or else'. As a cast, we'd like to thank Ms Derrington for her moral support, time and professionalism; Ms White for her continuous inspirational support of all cast members; Mr Andrews, the Stage Manager (known to all as 'Bennet'), who helped us with our characterisation skills and many little things along the way; and Mr Beaverstock, who put up with us and never gave up on our singing abilities. Thanks must also go to the backstage crew, make-up assistants and mothers who helped to make this year's production a huge success.

You might not remember the dance The Dust Cart Rag' - known to the cast as 'The Broom Dance' - but that is something we'll never forget. The entertaining end result was due to countless hours spent

Finally the time had arrived. A group of about forty anxious All Saints' ski 'wannabees' were about to leave for a week of pure excitement, fun, many bruises and great memories. After our early morning flight, we were greeted by a cold, dark Melbourne morning and the sights of the Docklands, the casino and a general tour of the city. Our day in Melbourne, although very tiring, was full of many bargains and shopping sprees in Melbourne central, the markets and Chapel Street. Feeling a lot more refreshed the next morning, we set off on our scenic journey to our final destination, Falls Creek. The snowless ground was a disappointing first impression, but the lack of snow did not mean a lack of fun. Our afternoon was spent seeing the sights and trying to anticipate what our next week would bring. What it brought were early mornings, days full of skiing and a great time. We had lessons in the morning followed by lunch, and the afternoons were left to ski leisurely, shop, toboggan or lounge around in our cosy lodge. After a long day skiing, a spa and sauna were

always relaxing, as was playing pool, fantastic Pictionary and just thawing out by the fire. After our five and a half days of skiing, snowboarding and many, many bruises, we sadly departed our temporary home. We spent our last full night in Melbourne running around our hotel and watching crazy kung fu movies till the early hours of the morning. The next day's 8.30am start brought many weary faces, but after we had some breakfast and did some last-minute market shopping, we began to wake up. Our shopping spree in Melbourne Central (again) was too short for many of us, but we needed to make haste for the football. Poor Carlton lost against Essendon. (Sorry Mr Dundas!) Finally the dreaded time arrived. Time to go home. But we had the reassurance that we'd always have our great memories...and there was always next year.

The thing that endears ane most to the big, bald fella known as 'Stapes'is the infectious enthusiasm that he brings to whatever he does. He has worked tirelessly for the College since its foundation, and All Saints' will miss his booming voice echoing through the corridors. All the best, Stapes. Gareth Parker College Captain History classes will never be the same without 'Good Old Stapes' (no stress on the OLD there of course!). Under that mis-matching suit disguise he's really just a big kid. We love you for it, Stapes! Emily Moore Year 12 Mark regards teaching as his vocation. He inspires students and colleagues alike and his enthusiasm for his task is almost tangible. Greta Cteghorn 1981 - the beginning of a new College. One of my most vivid memories was of a dynamic, charming, slightly balding teacher 'par excellence' - a great friend and a supportive colleague, loved by us all - the quintessential 'Mr Nice Guy: Those early days at All Saints' were so much fun. The four foundation staff members did everything and Mark was Year 8 teacher. coordinator of sport, organiser ofsocials, House head and everything else that happens in a new and growing school. He kept us all sane with his delightful sense of humour and his relaxed ond positive personality. Jill Williams Head ofJunior School

After eight weeks of relentless training, the ACC Swimming Carnival had arrived. Our expectations of this day were varied. We knew our 1999 Swim Team was exceptional, but just how good were we compared to the other ten schools in the 'A' division? Over the swimming season our squad had been involved in an intensive training morning at Challenge Stadium, where many valuable pointers were picked up. The Quadrangular Carnival at Canning Pool provided a friendly but competitive atmosphere and gave us an idea of how we measured up to our greatest rivals Â Corpus Christi. By the time we reached the ACC carnival at Beatty Park, the excitement had grown and everyone put in 1100/0 effort during the day. This year the girls held their own with the guys, gaining third position in both overall categories. Once again we took home the shield for the senior boys' aggregate - three years in a row: keep up the tradition, guys! When the time came for the overall points to be read out, I had seriously bitten all of my fingernails. However nerves were not necessary as we easily achieved second place, over 50 points ahead of John XXIII and behind Newman. The 1999 swimming season ended with a barbecue for all squad members and their families. It was a great night with photos and videos of the day's events, and Mr Whipp's Dalmatian puppy Blizzard even made an appearance. Special thanks must go to Mr Whipp and Miss Richens and all the other teachers and parents who gave up their time for swimming. Finally, a huge thank you goes to Andrea McCrackan, Cale Monteath, Richard Linton and Alex Norcross, whose enthusiasm and support helped make the 1999 swim season the great success it was. Amanda Bracken Year 12 1999 Swim Captain

Cross-countr~

For a lot of students, cross-country started towards the end of Term 1 and finished at the Interschool Cross-country Carnival on 27 May. The early morning sessions didn't discourage too many people, with good turnouts most mornings. With Mr Collins writing up strenuous training programmes, many people improved their fitness and this was reflected in their performances in both interhouse and interschool carnivals. All Saints' unfortunately didn't qualify for the overall girls' and combined trophy but finished a well-placed fifth overall in the boys' trophy out of thirty-plus schools. Everyone performed their best at interschool and some outstanding results came from Aleisha Anderson (first place in Under 15), Nathan Avery (third place in Under 16). Jason Avery (third place in Under 17) and Amy McQuade (fourth place in Under 18). Cross-country wouldn't have run smoothly without the help of the following teachers: Miss Bozich, Mr Dundas, Miss Richens, Mrs van Dongen, Mr Ward, Mr Whipp and Mrs Cameron. A very special thanks, though, m st go to Mr Collins, whose support and organisation were remarkable. I would also like to thank my Vice Captains - Gareth Parker, Serena Blackney and Charlotte Deague - and my Co-captain, Amy McQuade - for their support. Finally, I wish the best of luck to next year's team. Bradley Avery Year 12 1999 Cross-country Captain

Every year, the beginning of Term 3 marks the beginning of the athletics season at All Saints' College. A dedicated group of athletes comes together to train three, four or even five times a week. The aim is to improve overall fitness and technique and enjoy the friendly competition that athletics offers - although those personal bests are always a prime target, too. The day before this year's Interhouse Athletics Carnival, the heavens opened and dropped many swimming pools' worth of water on Perth in general and - so it seemed - on All Saints' in particular. There were agonised discussions about whether the weather would force us to cancel the carnival and the final decision to go ahead was definitely not one for the faint-hearted. The fates smiled upon us, however, and the next day, although chilly, was fine, and the carnival went ahead successfully. At the end of the day, Stirling House came away with first place, with Forrest House in second, Durack third, O'Connor fourth, Murdoch fifth and Cowan sixth. There were many outstanding individual and team performances on the day but particular mention should be made of Champions Libby Senini!Julia Clayton (U!14 Girls); Hamish Burton (U!14 Boys); Aleisha Anderson (U!15 Girls); Nathan Dunlop (U!15 Boys); Jenni Tibbits (U/16 Girls); Charles Norcross (U/16 Boys); Kristen Brown (U/1? Girls); Michael Senini (U/l? Boys); Amy McQuade (U/18 Girls); and Bradley Avery (U/18 Boys).

Barkes and Michael Fisher (discus) and Zac Caudo Qavelin) for their first places and to Monique Badcock, who jumped particularly well in long jump. At the end of the individual events, All Saints' went in to the relays in second position, and confidence was brimming. A sensational Year 9 girls' relay beam blitzed the field by approximately 40m, and the senior teams were brilliant. The relay team's performance helped us to hold on to this position. This team really tried its hardest and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Congratulations to the senior boys (Years 10-12), who won their category, and also to the Captains (Andrew Robertson and Serena Blackney) and Vice Captains (Amy McQuade, Vicki Barnett, Andrew Mills and Alex Norcross). who led the team admirably throughollt the day. With the athletics season now over for 1999, I would like to thank all coaches, parents, athletes and captains who have helped to make it a success. Next year we hope to see increased numbers of students at training, taking advantage of the specialist coaching and enjoying the buzz of achievement on track and field. Miss Melanie Bozich Physical Education Teacher

The next phase in the athletics season was the ACC 'A' Division Carnival, held in mid-September. In 1998 the All Saints' College Athletics Team reached the pinnacle of success when it achieved first place at the ACC carnival. 1999 was expected to be a different story as it was going to be difficult to replace the strong group of Year 12s who left the College and some of Term 3's extracurricular activities prevented students from attending training this year. Despite these setbacks, the team displayed an array of talent and positive team spirit on the day of the carnival and consequently won second overall to Sacred Heart College, whom we had beaten convincingly last year. Our 1,500m runners were extremely strong in the first races of the day. Aleisha Anderson broke another ACC record this year with a 4.55 secs performance. First place positions were achieved in the next three races by Jenni Tibbits, Brad Channer and Michael Senini. These achievements certainly set the tempo for the day. Other exceptional runs came from Gemma Peters (lOOm hurdles). Andrew Robertson (lOOm), Helen Taylor and Charles Norcross (400m) and Aleisha Anderson (800m and 400m). Our field events have always been our strength in the past and this continued to be the pattern in 1999, with personal bests in many events. Congratulations to Cameron

Our lack of reserves and some questionable refereeing decisions against Newman prevented us from finishing top of the ladder.

First XV 1999 proved to be a year of frustration for the 'Firsts'. The season began with a strong group of dedicated players who quickly demonstrated their potential with several convincing victories. These early wins helped create a very strong team spirit and a belief that, with effort, we could go all the way in 1999. Third term was marked by twice weekly early morning training sessions, come rain, hail or shine. (I will always remember seeing Courtney Patterson appear out

The finals proved to be a very tight series, with all games resulting in close scores. All Saints' was defeated 12-5 by Warnbro in the semiÂ final in a really physical, exciting game. The game was doubly difficult as several boys played with the flu and the game followed straight after the Interhouse Athletics Carnival, where many boys had competed all day in many events. To say some of them were dead on their feet was an understatement. Despite this, they all made superÂ human efforts for their team-mates. We can look back and guess at what might have been had everyone been fit and healthy. The motivation is there for next season for those boys in Years 10 and 11. My congratulations and thanks go to all the players who made it such an enjoyable season, with particular mention to Alex Norcross, the Captain, who led by example tirelessly both on and off the field. Thank you also to Mr Ward, Mr Norcross and James Gibson, who assisted with coaching during the season. Mr Oavid Hayter

Early 7.15am training starts, late arrivals back to College after games and soreness the next morning did not deter this group of dedicated young rugby players. Their commitment was rewarded with an appearance in the competition grand final against CBC Fremantle. The boys played well against a physically stronger side and their 'runner-up' position in this final was commendable. One onlooker commented after the game that he was impressed with the way the All Saints' College team had played 'in the spirit of the game'.

consistently helping at training sessions and on game days. Thank you, Elliott. Also a big 'thank you' to Alistair Norcross for his assistance at the training sessions. It is great to have parental assistance of this calibre.

For many of the boys this was their first experience of playing rugby, and they demonstrated commitment and enjoyment. The other boys with previous experience took this opportunity to build on their playing skills and team discipline.

We look forward to another successful season next year and hope all the boys will return for more of those enjoyable early-morning winter training sessions and those rain-cooled afternoon games.

Other major contributors to the team achievements were Hugh Norcross, Kieran Longbottom, Cameron Barkes, Callan Taylor, Imran Hankinson, Evan Kerr and James Peach. Well done boys.

Mr Bruee Honey

Particular mention must be made of the contribution by the team Captain, Elliott Lawrie. He was the driving force behind the team,

The Year 8 competition was played under modified rules this year to help some new schools to develop the game. The team performed very strongly, being undefeated all season up until the grand final. This was a very hard-fought game played in excellent spirit against CBC Fremantle, the final result being a narrow 5-0 loss. The team did very well considering only Blair Moonen and James Blomberg had played before. These two did a great job of leading the side all season. I really enjoyed coaching the team.

Guy Arrowsmith and myself went to the launch of the cup, where we were given the footies and had a quick training session with the Fremantle Dockers and the West Coast Eagles. Our team was very enthusiastic and couldn't wait for its first game. Unfortunately, our first two games were against schools that were well known for being very strong, and we lost. We had a real chance of winning the next two games we played in and the whole team fought very hard, but again we lost by very narrow margins.

House 1999

While 1999 may not have been the year of the purple on the sports field, it has nevertheless been an exceptional year for Cowan participation in the cultural department. The enthusiasm displayed at both the Swimming and the Athletics Carnivals far outweighed the final results. (Anyway - wooden spooner isn't that bad - perhaps we'll get the best draft pick next year!) The Athletics Carnival was especially interesting, and those who braved the runny nose, sore throat, icy rain and gale-force winds would understand just how lucky we were to even finish in a top six position. Cross-country for Cowan this year was a little more of a success story, with the motivation of Miss Bozich managing to convince the majority of the House to put in just that little extra effort and run that next little stretch. However yet again, our participation in the Interhouse Sport Competition programme was the highlight of our sporting achievements. The dedication and regular attendance of our teams was indicative of the overall spirit within the House and the support given to each other, no matter how well or badly Cowan might be faring. Our strength as a cultural House well and truly shone this year, with a large cohort of Cowanites involved in the College Production and College Voices and Singers. At every chapel service, Cowan was also blessed with the heavenly sound of string instruments, played entirely by members of Cowan House. Both our junior and senior debating teams shocked the pants off the opposition with their brilliant verbal and argumentative skills this year, and our huge number of theatre sports participants also showed their colours with a fantastic win from the senior team and a very narrow second overall. The quiz teams also achieved spectacular results. With Cowan's philosophy - 'If you can win, that would be great - otherwise just have fun', it hasn't seemed to have bothered us where we have ended up. With the help of our two Vice Captains, Serena Blackney and Nick Barry, and under the protective wing of Miss Bozich - who is more like an older sister to us all - Cowan is growing more and more like a family, and as that feeling continues throughout the years it is inevitable that one year, Cowan will be right up there with the rest and the best of them! I wish the very best of luck to next year's Captain, Viv Lister.

DurCLcR House 1999 'Not a House of champions, but a champion House.' 1999 has been a most memorable year for the grand House of Durack: a year of truth, in which we have well and truly gained recognition from others for being an avid competitor for the annual House shield. Our first competition for the year was the lnterhouse Swimming Carnival, in which we were placed a comfortable third. What was very evident was the strong team spirit which makes Durack the House it is. Term 1 also saw us beat the daylights out of all other Houses in the Interhouse Sport Competition. Needless to say, we won by quite a large margin! Cross-country was the major competition in Term 2, along with Rugby 7s and Touch Football for lls and 12s. Once again we were victorious in the Interhouse Sport Competition for Years 8, 9 and 10. Term 3 was the 'cultural' term. We saw our debating team compete at extremely high levels and also saw our quiz team blitz all other challengers (thanks skipper!). The great achievement of our two theatre sports teams should not go un mentioned. Our junior team succeeded in beating all other teams and our senior team placed

third to give us an overall first place! We also managed to come a very close third in the Athletics Carnival - again. The spirit from the sidelines was unimaginably encouraging. I am extremely proud to have been Durack House Captain this year. The House spirit we have built up over the years can't be compared to anything else. It's a strong bond that holds everyone together and encourages us to do our best. It's great how the people of Durack can be so competitive in every walk of life but also so supportive of others.

I must thank Mrs Tyrrell for guiding me through this year and Vicki Barnett and Richard Tyrrell, my Vice Captains, for their support and encouragement. Most of all, I'd like to thank all the students in Durack for pulling together and being a great team to lead. All the best to next year's House Captain, Nicholas Fleming, and everyone in Durack House for next year! Kimberley Angel

Forrest ltouse 1999

Forrest House

Energy, participation, commitment and enjoyment have enabled Forrest House to sustain its excellent efforts throughout 1999. An enthusiastic start to the year resulted in Forrest winning the Swimming Carnival, and special thanks go to all swimmers, marshals and vocal supporters. A pleasant House breakfast in February gave the wider Forrest community an opportunity to get to know each other on an informal basis and to reflect on our earlier success.

Forrest continued to participate enthusiastically throughout the year in senior and junior debating. the House quiz, senior and junior chess and theatre sports. All those involved should be congratulated on their performance. The Athletics Carnival was our last major House competition. and after an entertaining struggle, Forrest finished a creditable second again this year. Forrest's achievements this year could not have been made without the help and encouragement of all House members and the support of my Vice Captains Amy McQuade and Alex Norcross, the House Tutors and Mr Schirinzi.

Forrest continued its strong showing in cross-country running, and the large number of House participants ensured a solid overall second placing. This years' Interhouse Sport Competition was willingly supported by players. coaches and umpires from Years 8. 9 and 10. The outcome for both rounds of sport has placed Forrest in a healthy position for the overall shield. This powerful commitment was upheld in the Year 11 and 12 Rugby 7s and Touch Competition, with Forrest winning for the second year in succession.

It has been an honour to be part of Forrest's achievements, and my best wishes go to Michael Senini, next year's Forrest Captain, and all Forrestarians in 2000.

Murcloch House 1999 Take participation, competition and extreme enthusiasm, and you have the incredible House spirit displayed by Murdoch during 1999. With the appointment of the two Vice Captains Jon Sheehan and Julian Wilmot-Barr and under the guidance of Mrs Brown, Murdoch was ready for anything. The year began with the lnterhouse Swimming Carnival, and our strength in the pool was obvious. After maintaining first position through parts of the competition, Murdoch finished second. Special congratulations must go to Katie Cooper and Amy Bracken, who received champions awards, and Clare Davidson, Elliot Lawrie, Jayde Loxton and Richard Linton, who were runners-up in their age groups. Thanks must also go to those who willingly participated in the unfilled events. The Interhouse Cross-country Competition showed the high level of dedication in Murdoch, with a record number of runners. Again there were numerous students willing to assist in marshalling and organising events. After a gruelling afternoon run in the hot sun, Murdoch managed to secure fifth position. Well done to all the runners who braved the 3 or 4 kilometre trek. The lnterhouse Sport Competition, held on Thursday afternoons in Terms 1, 2 and 4, showed just how supportive many members of Murdoch are. Some of the teams actually had too many competitors, and the coaching by the Year 11s and 12s was very much appreciated. Thanks to Murdoch's enthusiasm, we finished equal third overall - a fantastic effort. The Touch Football and Rugby 7s games were met with a high level of participation and dedication, and although we didn't make the finals in either of them, the Murdoch guys proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Non-sporting competitions also made up a big part of the year for Murdoch, with huge efforts in theatre sports, chess, quizzes and debating. The last of the interhouse competitions was the Athletics Carnival. Although we had quite a few enthusiastic athletes, the mystery sickness that swept through Murdoch on the day did not allow us to get past fifth position. Special mention must nonetheless be made of Taryn Preedy and Andrew Mills, who were runners-up in their age groups. After a huge year for Murdoch, I'm happy to say I am proud to have captained the House and to have had the chance to learn from the experience. There are so many people to thank for their contributions this year, including all the House Tutors and especially our Head of House, Mrs Brown. I must also mention my Vice Captains Julian and Jonathon and all the Year 12s: thanks for the support you have given me. The role of House Captain has proved to be really challenging but also rewarding, and I want to wish the best of luck to next year's Captain, Tegan Martyn, and to all of Murdoch. Amanda Bracken 7999 Murdoch House Captain

Murcloch House 1999

O'Connor House 1999

Well, it can certainly be said that 1999 has been a year of both support and encouragement in our House. Our swimming results at the beginning of the year were creditable and reflected the encouragement and enthusiasm of all participants. Commitment and House spirit also continued in the cross-country, and our final moment of glory was being placed fourth overall in the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. This result was an unexpected surprise, inspiring a loud and proud cheer throughout the House. Congratulations to those people who received championship medals and to everyone whose efforts will inspire O'Connor to challenge its rivals for first position next year. The Thursday afternoon Interhouse Sport Competition has been filled with a high level of participation, enthusiasm and commitment. The standard of sportsmanship and the encouragement between team members have been a credit to the House. Thank you to all of the coaches and umpires who volunteered their time, and a special thanks to Mr Dundas for coordinating the House teams. Our debating and chess teams this year were a dedicated bunch. Our debating team placed an overall second, which was an excellent effort. Thank you to all participants, and to those who took part in

our interhouse quizzes and theatre sports. This year, O'Connor's theatre sports team revealed its dramatic talents and successfully provided an entertaining evening. I would like to thank all of the tutors for the work they have done and also acknowledge Mr Roberts for his efforts in assisting with the preparation and running of debating. A special thanks to Mr Dundas, who has always been around to help in every situation, and also to the Vice Captains Andrew Robertson and Sian Smithson for their support and efforts throughout the year. Finally, to Mr Radich ...thank you so much for making my position as much fun as possible and for all the work that you have done to help minimise my stress. Your positive and light-hearted attitude has made my year as O'Connor House Captain an experience that I won't forget. I wish you and next year's House Captain, Adam Worthington, the best of success in 2000... Make it something to remember! Sarah Slade 1999 House Captain

1999 has seen Stirling House continue to experience a high level of success, although we have struggled at times. I would like to start by thanking every Stirling House member for the continual support they have given me through the year, as without their support Stirling wouldn't have been so successful. Swimming was the first major House event for the start of 1999, and I would like to thank everyone in Stirling for making such a fantastic effort. I would also like to give special thanks to the many helpers at the Swimming Carnival, as without their support, Stirling wouldn't have done as well. In both cross-country and athletics, Stirling had great success. This success, however, would not have been achieved without the contribution and support of everyone in the House. I would especially like to thank the Year 12 girls for their really special efforts. I would also like to thank Rohan Mahendran and Max Jeganathan and the other marshals at the Athletics Carnival, as without their diligent organisation on the day, Stirling wouldn't have filled as many events - and since there was only a 33 point difference between first and third position, missing events would have been costly. Once again, the Year 8/9/10 after-school Interhouse Sport Competition was also a success, with Stirling achieving some fine results. So thank you to the Year 8s, 9s and lOs for their support of the competition and also to the Year 11s and 12s for their coaching and umpiring. As well as the Year 8s, 9s and lOs having success in the Interhouse Competition, success was also achieved by the senior students in both the Rugby 7s and Touch Football Competitions. We showed our strong Stirling spirit in theatre sports, debating, chess and quizzes, and we achieved some excellent results. Thank you so much to all the Year 11 Peer Support leaders who gave up their free time and put in a huge amount of effort so that the Year 8s enjoyed their introduction to Senior School.

Thank you to all of the House Tutors for their assistance with House events and their encouragement throughout the year: it has been most appreciated. A very special thank you must go to Mr Whipp, whose guidance enabled me to do the best job I could. His leadership has also helped Stirling House to great achievements. And finally, there aren't words strong enough to describe the effort and support my Vice Captains Taryn Sephton and Shannon Davies have given both me and Stirling this year: thank you so very much. I would finally just like to thank every Stirling member once again. You have made this year very enjoyable and one that I shall never forget. I have enjoyed my time as House Captain and being involved with Stirling. I wish next year's House Captain, Kristen Brown, the best of luck and hope that she receives the support and enthusiasm that I have had. Thank you.

Maths Week is always a highlight of the mathematical year, and 1999 was no exception. A number of competitions were conducted at recess in the canteen area (taking maths to the people!). The theme was 'Celebrating the Year of the Older Person', 50 each activity related in some way to the most respected members of our community.

...1999

The week began on Tuesday with a search to find the two students with the biggest age difference in the same tutor group. The winners were Nick Hollett and Chloe Schipp with a difference of six years and 286 days. Wednesday saw two competitions: the first to find the student with the oldest living relative (Calandra Barrett's great grandmother was the winner at ninety-two years and nine months). and the second involved matching Maths Department teachers with photos of their parents. This proved to be a difficult task and no one managed to get all the matches: however Cam Webb and Siobhan Wood correctly matched six. On Thursday we were looking for the longest maths word and the oldest maths book. The longest words came from Michael Fisher (antidifferentiation) and Anita Rankine (doubledodecagon). with special mention to Blake Klyen (pi) and Cam Webb (supercalafragalisticexpimathadocious). The oldest maths book came from Mr Simpson, who brought in a marvellous tome entitled The Universal Instructor which was printed in 1894. Friday saw students estimating the distance equivalent to one perch, which in the old money is 5 1/2 yards or 5.03 metres, and throughout the week students had the opportunity to guess how many edible false teeth were in a jar. The winner was Nicole Daniel, who correctly guessed 307. The Maths Department is looking forward with anticipation to the mathematically challenging year 2000' Mr David Hayter Head of Department

1999 proved to be a very busy and rewarding year for students studying Society and Environment. The breadth and diversity of this learning area as outlined in the Curriculum Framework provided for meaningful and relevant inquiry both within the classroom and outside. Year 8 students honed their fieldwork skills in August when they undertook an investigation of the Swan River at Bull Creek and Lesmurdie Falls. In June, Year 9 students learned some of the complexities of agricultural sustainability and land care when they visited Avondale Discovery Farm near Beverley. Many Year 10 students enhanced their understanding of ancient Egypt when they watched the Omni Theatre's presentation of Egypt's mysteries. Students studying the 'One Earth' unit presented work of an extremely high calibre when they participated in the Quest for Excellence.

Mrs Toni Dale

The past year has been exciting, challenging and full of highlights. At the beginning of the year we welcomed Grant Ward to the Physical Education Department. Grant was previously Head of Physica I Education at Mazenod College. His knowledge (particularly in athletics), new ideas and willingness to actively take part in all activities with the students is greatly appreciated.

Outdoor Education continues to be a strong component of the curriculum. With courses on offer from Years 9 to 12, the opportunity for experiential learning is vast. The weather, however, has not been kind to Outdoor Education camps, with all years experiencing inclement weather and some hail with torrential rain. Hopefully this has honed their skills and made the experience memorable. Dance continues to thrive under the coordination of Sarah Richens, with Brett

Roberts adding professional expertise and enthusiasm. The overwhelming success of the Dance Concert is a tribute to their hard work. Physical Education Studies continues to attract many students who seek to expand their skill base and theoretical knowledge of physical performance.

Throughout the department we are working hard to embrace the Curriculum Framework and we have moved strongly towards an outcomes-based approach in assessment and reporting.

Last but by no means least, I would like to acknowledge the financial support of the P&F for training breakfasts, team barbecues and the like, all of which are greatly appreciated. A final thank you to anyone who has contributed in any way to the physical education and sporting life of the College this year. Roll on 2000.

Mr Neil Col/ins Head of Department Sport continues to play a major part in the lives of our students. Our performance at ACC interschool level continues to be in the top rung of an association that now boasts forty-five member colleges, although it must be said that training numbers have been down in comparison to past years. I hope this is a reflection of the number of other activities offered in the College and not a lack of commitment from students. To those who supported diligently, I thank you. The interhouse sporting programme continues to be an integral part of the House system. Opportunities for students range from very competitive to purely participative and both facets have their place in our culture. The success of our sports programme is due to the fine efforts of many PE staff, parents and former students. Sarah Richens, as Sports Coordinator, continues to work tirelessly in this area w'lth further expertise provided by all the physical education staff. The number of State representatives within the College across a wide variety of sports never ceases to amaze this department. I would also like to thank several staff members who have enabled other sports to continue: Gail Coste/lo (Saturday Netball), Kaye Johns

2eligious EclucCLtion ...1999

In keeping with previous years, the emphasis in the Senior School has been to teach the students about Christianity, its role in the community and its relationship to the various other religions existing in the modern world. This has been demonstrated by visits to Karrakatta Cemetery (Year 8), studies of comparative religions (Year 9) and Community Service and Awareness (Year 10). In addition, we have continued the tradition of visiting St George's Cathedral to explore the intricacies of the Anglican faith. The Junior School students have undertaken more basic investigations of the stories in the Bible. This provides a firm foundation for their later studies into the similarities and differences in the historical background of the six major world religions. Wherever possible, the stories have been explored using modern technology and novel approaches. Ask your child about the sandwiches representing the Holy Trinity!

The focus in this year's music programme has been very much on encouraging and developing the talents and abilities of younger students in the Senior School, both in ensembles and individually. An influx of enthusiastic Year 8 students was a key feature of the Ensemble Workshop held in the first week of the College year. The energy of these students was an important feature of the College Music Camp held at the Point Waiter Recreation Reserve in August. College Strings and Jazz Saints provided the bulk of performances, especially outside the College. Strings were successful at the Fremantle Eisteddfod and the Strings Teachers' Association Festival, as well as presenting performances at the Frederick Guest Anglican Homes Village and Lefroy Hostel. Jazz Saints acquitted themselves well at the WA Jazz Association Festival at Mount Lawley Conservatorium and at Hillarys Boat Harbour. Within the College, the Orchestra worked hard to maintain its level of performance, as did the College Band. We are looking forward very much to seeing the skills of our younger players develop over the coming years. Sadly the College Orchestra bids farewell to Mr John Ford at the end of the year. We thank him for his five years of outstanding service as Conductor and wish him well as he continues his busy performing career. Choral music has continued to develop through the growing band of All Saints' Singers. The level of performance at the College Concert bore witness to the effort put into this activity. College Voices appears to need a greater sense of direction, and this will be a focus for 2000. Each year we await new people and instruments, wondering how the balance in the various groups will be. An exciting initiative has taken place in the Junior School, with all Year 3s having the opportunity to learn violin as part of their studies. The hope is that there will be a considerable boost to the string programme in the Junior School as a result, and that in time this will feed through to the Senior School, creating better continuity and wider participation. The thought now is to consider how a similar strategy can be applied to wind and brass instruments. We await developments.

From 30 March until 18 April, ten students from Years 10,11 and 12 plus Miss Johnson travelled to Japan. For the first week we rode the Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train) from Tokyo down to the south of Japan, visiting Hiroshima and Kyoto. In Hiroshima, we visited the Atomic-bomb Dome, the Peace Park and the Peace Museum, which are all dedicated to world peace. Our second day in Hiroshima saw us taking a ferry to Miyajima Island to see the 'floating gate' - one of three wonders in Japan. In Kyoto we visited many Buddhist temples, where we were able to bring ourselves various fortunes such as good luck, prosperity, eternal life and everlasting love. While in Kyoto we visited Nara, which was Japan's capital from 710 to 784AD, when it was called Heijo-Kyo. Here in Nara, we visited the Daibutsu (Great Buddha), which is the largest Buddha in Japan at 22 metres tall. Hiroshima. In the distance is the Atomic Dome and directly behind the group is the eternal flame, which will be blown

out once all the nuclear weapons in the

world ore destroyed.

We then returned to Tokyo where we stayed with our host families from the Otsuma Nakano Girls' High School. Each day we travelled to school by two or three trains, taking us anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour to reach the school, which started at 8.30am. We attended a special programme at school, learning flower arranging, the school anthem, traditional art, calligraphy and cooking, as well as attending some subjects with our host student. After a teary goodbye at Narita (Tokyo's airport), we boarded the plane and returned home bearing everlasting memories of Disneyland, karaoke, Japanese food and, most importantly, Japanese culture. A big thank you must go to Miss Johnson, who was a wonderful tour guide/translator as well as a big sister. Also thank you to Otsuma Nakano Girls' High School and its hosts, with whom we hope to maintain our special link despite the fact that the exchange programme between our schools has now come to an end.

Exc1'1CLnge ProgrCLrn

I went to Bogliasco, near Genoa, on the Italian Riviera for two marvellous months staring at the mountains outside my window, the sea from my balcony and the large paintings of ancestors on the walls. Here are a few of the cultural experiences: * living soccer for two months; * having Sunday lunch with Franciscan monks; * driving with my host brother on those winding mountain roads; * trying to get the boomerang out of the tree; * going to the Internet pub, bowling and Luna Park; * going to Portofino and Pisa; * playing Scrabble and Scattergories in Italian; ~

* being blamed for the 'Australian flu' epidemic;

11 ponte romano - on old Roman bridge in my town.

* eating Pandoro, pesto, crepes with nutella and focaccia; * learning the works of Homer at school; *

reading Topolino (the Disney magazine).

ViCRi BCLrnett,

Kimberle An el,

For two months over the Christmas holidays I stayed in a smallish city called Potenza, which is located in the region of Basilicata. My host family was the best (which was in keeping with the southerners' reputation!) and I had a great time.

~eCLr

pigs' blood and putting on about 11 kilos. (Yes! The rumours were true!!). No matter what, though, I had the best time of my life. I made lifelong friends and learned to love the culture, as well as the language!

My experiences ranged from lighting fireworks on New Year's Eve to having coal given to me for Befana; touching, eating and throwing snow; being on Italian news; discotecas; meeting dashing Italian males (and the love of my life - Michele!); eating

With my host family (right) and taking in the sights (left).

My unforgettable two months in Italy started with the doors on the train not opening at my train station in Agropoli, a small town in the region of Campania (two hours away from Naples). The view of my town was as spectacular as the view from my bedroom winaow: I could see the whole of Agropoli and the island of Caprl. Some of my most memorable moments were: * the school protest; * a famous pizzeria; * the live nativity scene at Christmas; * trains in general; * skiing and instructors; * other places in the region of Campania: Amalfi, Naples, Caserta and Salerno; * the novelty of coffee and milk machines; * Christmas decorations; * and of course the three Ps of Italian food - pizza, pasta and panettone.

Espressos and colombo - Easter morning tea with the Year 70 Italian class.

I spent my two-month exchange period in a really, really small town called San Marco Di Castellebate, about two-and-a-half hours south of Naples. It was truly one of the most unique experiences of my life and I had an unbelievably worthwhile time. Some of my experiences included: * making pasta from scratch at the tiny local supermarket; * zooming through the narrow, cobblestone streets on vespas; * making friends - not just with the over-exuberant Italians, but with other

exchange students from all over the world;

* trying to understand the Neapolitan dialect, which is mighty tricky considering

it is quite different from true Italian;

* being the only person who could make my two-year-old host brother eat; * enduring thirty hours of chemistry per week at the Istituto Operatore Chimico; *

passing an old castle on my way to school every day;

* attending the ugliest school in the history of the world; * knowing everyone in the whole town, young and old; * and of course, eating all that great Italian food I The medieval castle across the rood from my house.

Non vi dimenticher6 mai Hi everybody! I'm Elisa. It's so sad to write about my experience in Australia because I'm realising that in a few days I will leave and ... 1don't want to! These seven weeks have been really cool and, although I spent much time at school, it wasn't that boring - maybe because I didn't have to do much homework, and also because the people are really friendly. My Australian experience has been about much more than just improving my English and learning a new culture. I have done many things, including visiting the beautiful south west, climbing the Gloucester Tree (very scary!), sailing on the Swan River (really beautiful during the night), seeing the cute Australian koalas and kangaroos and ...getting lost in the bush! I would like to say thanks to Kat, because now I have an Australian sister, and to John and Eirlys, my host parents, because they made me feel like their daughter. I also want to thank all the people (students and teachers) I met at All Saints': you are the best! And to Mrs Maio, even though during her lessons we had to do tests! I hope I will come back to Australia as soon as possible (in the new millennium!) - or you can come to Italy. Elisa and host sister Katharine at the Gloucester Tree.

See ya soon.

G'day mates I

Lorenzo 2ecchi

Well, Mrs Maio said that two speeches in front of the College was not enough, so here I am also writing an article on my Australian experience. I came here on 2 July and in these two months I think I've experienced all the

things I could possibly do! I was very lucky because I was able to go surfing

and sailing and visit the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns. I also visited Sydney and

Brisbane: they were beautiful too. Here at All Saints' College, I have had a great time, and I met a lot of cool people (and some were pretty good looking as well as nice!). I am very impressed, because I never thought I would have met such nice people Â including my host family. That is fantastic!

I hope I have not been too annoying and boring with you all during these seven weeks. I also hope you will remember me for my pleasantness (. .. maybe!) as much as I will never forget you and this wonderful experience!

Meanwhile, back at ASC, LOTE goes on as usual ...

Miranda May As an exchange student from the United States, I was lucky enough to attend All Saints' College from mid July to December. It was somewhat difficult adjusting from a public to a private school; but teachers, new friends and my host sister Rebecca Kennington made it a very enjoyable time. I participated in track and field and found that the Athletics Carnival was definitely something my American high school is missing.

Rahel Friedli Hello, All Saints' people! My name IS Rahel Friedli and I'm a Rotary Exchange student from Switzerland. One week after arriving in Australia I had my first school day at All Saints' College. At the beginning I was very nervous about coming to a new and different school In a With Maria Grazeo Chaeon. new country. It was different. In Switzerland we don't have to wear uniforms, the subjects are different and we can go home at lunchtime. But I discovered a lot of advantages: for example school finishes at 3.20pm, there are interesting subjects and other new school activities. I was really happy when I experienced the friendly atmosphere and the very nice people at this school. The students are very nice and the teachers always help me to make everything easy. You can believe me that I'm very glad to be at All Saints' College during my exchange yea r l With Miranda May.

College life at All Saints' (where we are all truly saints) taught me some great words to take home - including 'wally'. Thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome...and come visit in good old Salt Lake City, UT.

This will be a great experience for me and I hope I get to know Australian

culture better. I would like to thank all the people who have helped me,

especially at the beginning A special thank you to Rotary Club Melville,

which supports me very well and made it possible for me to spend a year

here. Finally, I would like to thank my host families, who have done

everything to make me feel at home. Vielen herzlichen Dank.

DRUMMOND

1999 has proved to be an exciting year for Drummond House. Drummond members have demonstrated their pursuit of excellence both academically and in the sporting arena, and showed a true sense of sportsmanship and team spirit. The year began with busy preparations for the Interhouse Swimming Carnival. Many Drummond House members were involved in the swimming training held before school and consistently demonstrated persistence and determination to improve their personal best times. All the hard work certainly paid off, because Drummond was the winner of this year's carnival: what a sensational effort. As the House Head, I was personally inspired by the willingness of all House members to at least 'have-a-go' and swim in a variety of races. This willingness to participate was a huge factor in our overall success on the day. In Term 2, many Drummond House members were involved in interhouse sports activities during lunchtimes, and in the crossÂ country event. Thanks to the wonderful organisational skills of the sports teachers, the children gained a great deal from participating in these events and earned bonus points for their House. A big thank you to Mr Jenzen and Mrs Fricke for organising these wonderful sporting opportunities. Term 2 was also Drummond's opportunity for fund raising, and this year we decided to raise money for the Association for the Blind. Our first event was a free dress day, where each student paid SOc to wear free dress for a day. We also hosted a 'Death By Chocolate Stall', and all the Drummond members brought in their favourite chocolate treat. This stall was an enormous success and we all enjoyed treating ourselves to the delicious chocolatey delights!

â&#x20AC;˘

The highlight of our fund raising was Movie Week, where students from Pre-primary to Year 7 were invited to watch either Mulan or Home Alone 3 after school, whilst munching on a packet of chips and slurping on a can of cool drink. Both the movies were great viewing and all the students who attended really appreciated the opportunity to meet informally in a relaxed environment. After we had recovered from Movie Week, we decided to have one last fund raising event: a raffle. We had many beautiful prizes donated and many people within the College community were keen to purchase tickets. Overall, our fundraising was an enormous success and it gave us great pleasure to present the association with a cheque for over $800. Term 3 is now 'zooming' along and we are focusing all our energies towards the Athletics Our wonderful House Captains,

Carnival. We are also working very Kym Monteath and B/air Barker.

hard to build up the weekly House

points tally in our classroom.

Thanks go to all Drummond members for their wonderful efforts and team spirit in 1999. A special thanks to our hard-working House Captains Kym Monteath and Blair Barker and their super mums, who have been a source of never-ending help and support. We have once again 'reached for the stars' and achieved milestones we never thought possible. Congratulations Drummond: it's been a wonderful year.

Molloy got off to a great start this year with the election of Jessica Lambert and Michael Hansen as House Captains. As always, the first challenge of the year was the Interschool Swimming Carnival. Molloy students demonstrated great House spirit as usual and everyone did their best. Special acknowledgement goes to the following students:

Fiona Andrews On _ d Clonssa Gunaw - Year 7 stud, ents - with mascot. an

Champion Medals: Matthew Monaco (Year 5), Joanne Johnson (Year 6), Bianca Monaco and Michael Hansen (Year 7). Runner-up: Tim MacKenzie (Year 4).

First term also meant lots of fundraising activities for Molloy. The waterslide again proved to be a very popular event. Other activities included a free dress day, a cake stall and a raffle for a Mothers' Day hamper. Term 2 brought the Cross-country Carnival and as House Head, I was very proud of the valiant effort of all Molloy students - 100% participation I!! This again demonstrated our great team spirit and many runners achieved personal best times. We especially acknowledge the following students for their outstanding performances: Jessica Laidman (Year 5 Champion Girl). Andrew MacKenzie (Year 6 Runner-up Bay). Navid Afrasiabi (Year 7 Runner-up Boy). Currently, training is underway for the Interhouse Athletics Carnival and Molloy expects to do very well both in individual events and team games. I'm sure the wonderful House spirit will spur Molloy students on to greatness! I would like to give thanks and acknowledgement to the two Molloy House Captains, supportive, helpful and generous Molloy parents and SENSATIONAL Molloy students. GO MOLLOY!

On 29 March, the Year 5 class, six parents and two teachers set off to Rottnest for four glorious days on the island. Our first day was a relaxing one, starting off with lunch in the settlement, a visit to the museum and a long afternoon swim at the Basin - it was just like being on holidays! We had delicious spaghetti bolognaise for dinner. Tim Hewitt loved it so much he had three helpings!

but we still had enough energy to play an April Fool's joke on the parents. By the time we arrived back at North Fremantle we were all feeling happy about the time we spent on Rottnest Island. It was the first time some people had been overseas! Our parent helpers looked after us so well - they were brilliant. They always cooked us yummy meals and made sure that we were organised.

The next day some brave people went for an early morning swim while the others helped We all agreed that if camp is always this much with breakfast. Then we all collected our bikes fun - we can't wait for next year! from the hire shop. Lucky Tamara scored a bike with hand brakes while the rest of us got a masterpieces in Geordie Bay. Matthew Monaco and Jessico Loidman back-brake bike, but it didn't matter: we were happy to have our own set of 'wheels' and off we went for a short ride back to the camp. Miss Fiegert was in the lead the whole way! Our fabulous parents made us healthy rolls for lunch. After we had eaten, half of Thomas, Motthew Bond Kieran the group went on a long bike ride around the island and the other moking sandcastles at the Basin. group did pastel drawings and went swimming. Our quiz night was heaps of fun - especially the game called 'fluffy bunnies' where four contestants were asked to stuff marshmallows in their mouths one by one without swallowing while also saying the words 'fluffy bunnies'. Sam Brown won with a record ten marshmallows! On Wednesday we went on the Underwater Explorer, which was great...but we all felt a little green afterwards. Then we went for another ride to the beach for a sandcastle competition. We were very sad to say goodbye to our bikes in the afternoon - even though we did have a few casualties. That afternoon we all practised our items for the concert, which was held in the Rottnest Hall. Even some of the parents did an item. Jayma sang the Spice Girl song 'Stop', Mrs Brown dressed up like a bunny, and Matthew and Isaac dressed up as Cinderella, complete with beautiful dresses, make-up, painted fingernails and blonde wigs. They looked stunning. Isaac's mum taught us a gospel song which sounded great. By Thursday morning we were all feeling quite tired (especially the parents and teachers),

Tamara and Lisette reclining on the rocks at the Basin.

Yeqr 7 Kqlbqrri Gq,.,.,p 'Do we have to go home?' was the plaintive cry heard from many students at the end of what proved to be a very enjoyable camp. We set off on Saturday, 27 March at around lunchtime and settled in for the long bus ride to Kalbarri. After a stop at Cataby and a delicious Chicken Treat dinner in Geraldton, we finally arrived at the Kalbarri Tudor Caravan Park at 9.45pm. Everyone excitedly settled into their dorms, and judging by the many tired faces the next morning, many stayed up talking for hours. The first day is traditionally a fairly relaxed one. Everyone enjoyed a hearty breakfast and some had even managed to rise at 6.00am for a game of touch rugby on the beach. The first mention of any hard work came with two dreaded words...DORM INSPECTION! There was much panic and running around stuffing stray clothing into all manner of places. Some dorms were horrified to realise that pOints for sleeping were also issued - uh oh! The coastal gorge Red Bluff was our first outing. We enjoyed clambering on rocks and seeing the spectacular view, with huge waves pounding the shore. Preston, one of our friendly bus drivers, suggested we walk the 3km to Blue Holes beach. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but one and a half hours later we surmised that his 3km meant by road, not along the coast, which was a tad further! The remainder of the day was taken up with activities such as swimming and camel riding. We came together for a delicious dinner and to fill in our camp diaries. Evening activities included a quiz then mini golfing and trampolining. The next day was one of our most exciting, with the trip to the scenic Kalbarri gorges. The Loop was our first stop and after snapping shots of Nature's Window, we proceeded to the real challenge: the climb down the gorges to the Z Bend. We spent most of the day there rafting and swimming in the current. It was heaps

of fun and the highlight for many. Climbing back up to the top was another challenge which was overcome by all. Exhausted but happy, we returned to camp for showers and another delicious dinner. The evening culminated with Red Faces acts. Tears of laughter were plentiful, with many amusing performances Â including one with Will Beresford and Clinton Colledge doing a spoof of the cooking lady from 'Better Homes & Gardens' (you know, the one with the really annoying voice). Tuesday was another action-packed day with activities that included a river cruise, visiting Rainbow Jungle (a fabulous bird park with many exotic birds), a BBG lunch at the beach, and canoeing - which ended with a mud fight. After shampooing our hair (about three times!) we walked over to Palm Resort for our first dinner out. The sumptuous banquet was followed by a movie called Mousetrap. It was very funny but some of us fell asleep after all the excitement of the day and practically had to be carried back to camp. Attaining full sleeping points was becoming easier. After the adults pulled a very funny and successful April Fool's joke on the students (they didn't seem to find it as amusing as we did), we bade a sad farewell to Kalbarri. After another long bus ride we arrived back at ASC at about 5pm. I'm certain everyone would have received ten out of ten for sleeping that night! The Year 7 Camp was a wonderful experience. Mr Jenzen and I would particularly like to thank our excellent parent helpers - Mr Marston, Mrs Hatton, Mr Beilby and Mrs Williams - who were lots of fun. Thank you for helping us make the 1999 Year 7 Camp a great success. Miss Mono Lingensjo

On Sunday 28 March, the Year 6 students and their accompanying adults left All Saints' College, nervously awaiting five days of excitement and adventure. Our destination was the Woodbury Boston Environmental Camp in Albany. Spirits were high throughout the bus trip and after many long hours we were all very relieved to arrive at the camp site. The camp was situated on a high, picturesque plot of land overlooking Torbay waters. We happily enjoyed a refreshing beach walk and settled into our new environment. The first evening was filled up with exciting games, diary writing, showers and supper. The second day began early (6.00am to be precise). We enjoyed a magical beach walk and then a delicious cooked breakfast. We then commenced our Stuart Island reef day, which involved us gathering a variety of marine life and then making our own rock pool. On the Monday evening we enjoyed a celebrity 'red faces' night, and many students revealed their potential as future movie stars. Day three started with another fantastic breakfast. Soon afterwards we began practising our dancing for the evening bush dancing event. Some students ended up with sore toes, but there was plenty of rhythm on the floor. After this we bussed off to Denmark for a quick shopping fix, followed by a sausage sizzle by the river and then off to the Alpaca Farm. The students loved feeding the many varieties of goats and cattle, but the highlight was cuddling the rabbits and guinea pigs. (Some students found it rather hard to let the little creatures go back into their cages.) After returning to the camp site we set animal traps to catch native animals in the nearby forest: the results of this would be seen the next day. Once we had dinner we set ourselves up for the bush dance. A band from Albany played for us and we danced till we were almost exhausted. A terrific night was had by all.

Day four had a slow start due to our sore legs (from last night's dancing). After a quiet breakfast, we collected the animal traps from the forest to see what we had caught. To our amazement we had caught three small native animals. Watching the little creatures running over students' laps was a unique experience for everyone. In the afternoon we went for a walk on the rugged coastline where we climbed large rocks and sat close to the ocean. There was a large swell and the waves hit the rocks with great force, causing the spray to sweep across us. We reached a large rock pool where we spent a quiet time reflecting on and absorbing the sounds and feelings of the environment around us. On returning to the camp site we stopped at a local beach to dig foxholes for the evening game of Spotlight. Straight after dinner we returned to this beach and began the foxhole games. On our way back to camp we had the thrill of Rosco's (the bus driver) rollercoaster ride as we travelled over large dips in the road and screamed our heads off. What a noisy mob! Day five and time to return home. With photos taken and goodbyes exchanged we hit the road for the return trip to Perth. There were some tired people trying to grab a few minutes sleep, but it was a bit hard with all the games and chatting going on. The camp was a tremendous success. The students were outstanding in their involvement and support for each other. Our parent helpers - Mr MacKenzie, Mr Anderson, Mrs Wiren, Mrs Marks, Ms ArmaregoÂ Marriott and Mrs Separovich - were absolutely wonderful. We thank them for their energy and su pport.

Since early in Term 1, a dedicated band of chess players has been meeting on Thursday at lunchtime to hone their skills. Valuable support has also been given to the students by Trent Bowden (Year 9), who has helped enormously.

eSS

The Junior School entered two teams in the Metropolitan Primary Schools' Chess competition. At the end of the final round, our B South team reached the semi-finals. The members of B South were Philip Castiglione (Year 7l. Patrick Beilby (Year 7), Ashley Wiren (Year 6), Sean Smith (Year 7), Dugald Shaw (Year 7) and Blake Tedman (Year 7). They played ten rounds, with three wins, five draws and two losses. The members of C South were Craig Spector (Year 7), Shane Dumont (Year 7), Scott Backshall (Year 7), James Whitworth (Year 7), Mitchell Kerber (Year 6), Andrew MacKenzie (Year 6) and Bryce Freckelton (Year 7). They played six rounds with one win, one draw and four losses.

work to show the importance of soil in the permaculture garden. With the help of the grounds staff, everyone pulled weeds, trimmed plants, cleaned the pond, raked the paths and shovelled manure and compost, before designing and planting a new garden. Weeks later, it became obvious that the soil was alive with microscopic 'beasties' because some of them ate our cabbages, carrots and peas. Consequently, our autumn planting was not so successful but we hope to rectify the problems without using pesticides that will harm the ecosystem, before we commence the spring planting.

Behind the sheds belonging to the grounds staff, there is now a LARGE worm farm which thrives on the food scraps collected in buckets outside the classrooms at recess and lunchtime. Members of the environment group have willingly given their time to collecting and emptying these buckets. Now they are encouraging others to place liquid board containers, such as choc milk and juice cartons, in the worm buckets along with any clean paper.

Environmental activities have been significantly enriched this year with the help of the Environmental Officers from Melville City Council, Colin and Bill. The students and Mrs Clark, Miss Oldershaw and myself have learned a lot about the local history, soil and plants by making soil profiles of the area, a herbarium of local native plants and weeds, collecting and propagating seeds,

drawing foliage arrangements and taking part in leaf identification and flower hunts. We are very thankful for their generous gifts of time, knowledge and care. Although we have missed the enthusiastic giggles of Alex Rho in our group this year, we are very proud that she is now a member of the Western Australian Millennium Kids Environmental Committee for Kids Helping Kids. It is exciting to see such a talent eagerly employed in the service of others and our planet, at such a young age. We hope to see more Year 7 students taking part in the Millennium Kids Conference which Alex is helping to organise in October. Ms Jill Kennedy

The Australian Primary Schools' Mathematical Olympiads (APSMO) began in Australia in 1987 with 120 teams competing. It is affiliated with Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOPEMS) which operates worldwide with over 80,000 students participating. This year, under the APSMO banner, 1,133 teams from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and New Guinea participated, with over 25,000 children being represented. In 1999 all of my mathematics class sat the five competition papers. Throughout the year we had been doing problems based on past papers as part of our weekly programme.

With the establishment of a new laboratory system this year which uses IBM computers, there was much excitement and intrigue amongst the students about what they were going to do in Computer Club for 1999.

experiment with the use of a digital camera and a scanner. A list of competent 'assistants to teachers' will be collated from this group of students so that next year these students can help their teachers and other students in the use of the computer laboratory.

A Year 4/5 club was established, along with a Year 7 club for Terms 1 and 3 and a Year 6 club for Terms 2 and 4.

The Year 7 club has developed a high level of independent and interdependent computer usage. Most club members have followed on from their Year 6 club to become very competent users of our computer system. These students are used as assistants to teachers and students across the Junior School. Club sessions have included sharing favourite Internet sites, displaying their personally designed web sites, use of chat sites, exploring Junior and Senior School software and using a digital camera and a scanner.

Members of the Year 4/5 club were taken slowly through the procedures of using the new system and were then given the choice of completing research homework, exploring software packages or working through specific Internet sites. This group has established a broad range of skills and knowledge which will be of much use next year, when our current Year 5 students can show the new Year 6s how to operate the computer system. The Year 6 club was very popular with some 'oldies' from last year's Year 5 club and others from the new Year 6 intake. The students explored the use of the Internet, chat lines, creative drawings and painting, publishing and word processing. Term 4 will see this group

These students have been impressive in their willingness to explore, learn and enjoy their time in Computer Club. Mr Glen Duffie/d Computer Club Coordinator

1999 has been another very busy year for Japanese at the Junior School. Japanese is taught from Pre-primary, where the primary focus is on developing the children's interest through song and games, through to Year 7, where the students play an active role in the development of their oral, listening, reading and writing skills. Term 1 saw the Year 7 students visit the Hyogo Cu ltu ra I Centre for a lesson in Japanese calligraphy. In addition to learning how to write various characters, the students had the chance to learn more about the history of calligraphy and how to tell the meaning of the more difficult characters through the recognition of some core symbols. During Term 2, the Year 2 students studied Asian cultures. To tie in with this theme, the students enjoyed a lovely 'lunch box' style Japanese school student's lunch, where they sampled sushi, teriyaki chicken all by using chopsticks. 'Nori' or seaweed wasn't all that bad! Throughout the year, various Japanese dinners have been arranged for the students. The students have enjoyed a delicious array of Japanese cuisine and have developed a liking for green tea icecream. During the July holidays, twelve students from the Junior School participated in a cultural exchange to Chiba, Japan. The students were billeted out in pairs but spent the majority of the time with the tour group, visiting such places as Disneyland, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Aquarium, Asakusa Temple and two primary schools. In one short week, the students were able to develop a far greater understanding of the Japanese people and the diversity of their culture, a very important part of successful foreign language attainment.

This year, there were some changes to the types of entries that the children could submit for this competition. There were only three categories that they could enter from the Junior School: Â Inventions, Investigations and Photography. There was some disappointment from some of the older students because they were not able to participate in the Web Page Design: that was a new category for the Senior School students. We began the sessions with a large contingent of students, especially Year 4s. With time, the students realised how much work was involved in working on their entries and, in the end, seven students were able to see the commitment through to submitting their finished work. These students went through the process of emailing their project type, their name and contact details. They also went through the rigours of the scientific approach, finding out that not all best-laid plans work first time' The students certainly found this when their inventions did not always react or work in the way they thought they would. A diary of their trials was included as part of their scientific process. The photography was not without its tribulations, especially when an animal was involved. The students working in the Investigations area were a little concerned that their hypothesis was not being reflected In their results. They are to be commended for persevering to the end with their entries. I am happy to say that all of the entries have been submitted and I will now have the task of helping to judge them.

Dance proved to be a very popular extracurricular activity again in 1999. Throughout the year, five dance groups from Year 3 through to Year 7 came together once a week to learn routines for performances at the Junior School Concert and the ACHPER Primary Dance Festival, held in November at the Octagon Theatre, University of Western Australia. Dance has given the students the opportunity to develop their coordination skills and the confidence to perform in front of an audience. Furthermore, it has given the junior students a chance to interact with the senior student choreographers. This year's choreographers were Brooke McCaffrey, C1aire Sprunt, Gemma Crouch (Year 10); Lara Holbeck, Jennifer Dunn (Year 8); and Kate Minosora and Jessica Hatton (Year 7). The joy on the students' faces while they were performing and their excitement pre- and post-performance was infectious and highlighted the fact that hard work does payoff - and I am sure that dance in the year 2000 will be as popular as ever.

This year Mike Jenzen and myself decided to take a different tack with public speaking and debating and incorporated it into our normal Year 7 programme. This has proved to be a great idea and all of the Year 7 students have learned the skills of giving effective speeches and well-prepared debates. The results have been amazing! Fears of speaking before an audience are a thing of the past and we have been able to give a large selection of keen and talented volunteers a chance to participate in the interschool debating programme.

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘

The Year 7 All Saints' students have had many interesting challenges against other worthy competitors such as Hale, St Mary's, John Wollaston, Perth College and PLC. Many of our students surprised themselves with their own confidence and competence in debating varied and interesting topics such as 'Australia should give more assistance to refugees' and 'Life is a game'. This year the debating programme will culminate in the All Stars Challenge held over two nights in Term 4. Whereas the interschool debates are about gaining confidence and having a go, the All Stars Challenge is a serious (but fun!) competition. One evening will consist of structured debates and the other evening of impromptu debates, where only thirty minutes of preparation time is given and the students really have to think on their feet! We look forward to these challenges but know that, win or lose, all the Year 7 students are ultimately the winners in gaining confidence and learning invaluable skills for the future.

On Thursday 17 June, Jessica Hatton, Jessica Lambert and Kate Williams from Year 7 represented All Saints' College in the Speakers' Challenge at Perth College. Approximately thirty-six students from twelve independent schools competed, with four schools in each section. Our three students all presented sensational speeches and were scored very highly. We were delighted when All Saints' won the runner-up and champion in our division. Congratulations to Kate Williams and Jessica Lambert respectively. Jessica then had to go into the final round with her speech 'Teachers - do we really need them ?', She again performed very well and attained first runner-up. Mr Jenzen and myself are extremely proud of all three girls. Their poise and confidence were outstanding, Miss Mono Lingensjo

Yeqt' 6 a-rheP1Q-r,cS GJub 1999 has proved to be an exciting and challenging year for all the members of the Year 6 Mathematics Club. Our first and greatest challenge was arriving at school every Wednesday morning before eight o'clock and launching into a huge variety of mathematical experiences. This year we have approached our weekly activities in small groups, The students have been given a limited number of weeks to define their investigation, employ a method, collate data and draw conclusions. One of our most popular activities was the 'Um and Er' investigation, where the groups had to draw up tallies and then create graphs based on how many 'ums' and 'ers' their group members used in the course of a one-minute conversation. The results were very interesting! Mathematics Club has certainly proved to be a wonderful educational enrichment for all involved. It has been an effective means of conveying to all students the concept that mathematics can be fun! Mrs Christina Gamble Year 6 Teacher

In Semester 11, all Speech and Drama students worked towards a drama concert. This year, the Pre-primary to Year 3 classes prepared some uniquely Australian plays featuring a collection of bush animals. The Year 4 to Year 7 classes put together a collection of plays based on the theme 'When You Wish Upon a Star'. College Strings, under the guidance of Miss Tanya Ramakrishnan, provided some fabulous musical selections to enhance the programme. Many other students have taken part in speech and drama activities in the Junior School in 1999. The fortnightly radio broadcast (Radio ASC 103) is put together by Year 7 students and contains a number of segments based on a theme. One of the segments, the 'Speech and Drama' segment, provides Speech and Drama students with the opportunity to showcase their work. Speech and Drama is alive and well in the Junior School at All Saints' College and there are many students gaining from their involvement in this valuable subject.

PARTICIPATION is the key word underlying the philosophy of the Junior School sport programme. It is our aim to provide the pupils at All Saints' College with as many opportunities to be involved in as wide a range of physical and sporting activities as possible. The programme aims to cater for all levels, with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment and a measured balance of competitiveness for those who desire it. Looking back on the sporting year, the objective of maximum PARTICIPATION has certainly been achieved. The year kicked off with all the Year 4-7 students attending swimming trials at the Challenge Stadium. Three exciting swimming carnivals followed, the first being ~. the interhouse, where all students participated - be it in the 50m events or the novelty races. Although no points were scored at the interschool carnivals, there were some nailbiting finishes and the high standard of swimming was a pleasure to watch. Years 1-3 enjoyed an Aquatics Fun Day at the Ascot Water Playground. Pre-primary to Year 5 were able to further improve their strokes during two weeks of swimming lessons at the Leeming Recreation Centre's Flippa Swim School and the Year 6s and 7s brushed up on their open-water swimming and lifesaving skills at Cottesloe Beach. In the summer sport programme, students could elect to play tennis, cricket, softball or basketball. The Year 4s and Ss were able to gain valuable tips from Todd Lavender (ex Western Warriors and an All Saints' former student) and Jeff Anderson (former NBA player). The Year 6 and 7s enjoyed fortnightly matches against the JSHAA rival teams. Summer sports came to a close with the Basketball Lightning Carnival. Congratulations to all players who, despite some wet conditions, gave it their all.

The winter sport programme culminated in the JSHAA Winter Lightning Carnival. All Saints' College entered four soccer teams, one footy team, two hockey teams and two netball teams. Sunny skies, proficient skills and enthusiastic team support made for a fabulous sporting event. The Year 4s and Ss were able to benefit from development officers Steve Neville's (WA soccer) and David Griffiths' (WA hockey) expertise at coaching clinics, held in their sport lessons. Cross-country, athletics and touch rugby have been the focus for Term 3. All pupils are encouraged to join athletics training sessions on Monday and Friday mornings and Wednesday afternoons. Many personal goals were attained by simply completing the interhouse cross-country, while other more ambitious long distance runners chose to compete at the interschool cross-country carnivals at Guildford and Perry Lakes. The Guildford meet was a true crossÂ country event: muddy tracks, knee-deep puddles, fences and horses were just a few of the obstacles to be negotiated! Year 6-7 pupils participated in an interhouse touch rugby tournament which was held at lunchtime on Tuesdays. Teams will be selected to play for All Saints' College at the WA Schools' touch carnival in fourth term. In addition, Mr Chappell's Pen rhos touch rugby team will be challenging our All Saints' College girls. All students are gearing up for the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. The tabloid sports nature of the carnival will allow each individual to focus on improving on their personal best and attain points for their House. The Pre-primary and Years 1-3 are looking forward to their own junior primary mini carnival and joining in the senior primary action later in the day.

All students in our Junior School are involved in a comprehensive developmental music programme. Commencing in Pre-primary, students experience a wide variety of musical activities. Additional options - such as choir, recorder, string and recorder ensembles, and Junior Band - give opportunities for students to gain further insights and skills in the discipline of music.

The two Junior School String Ensembles and the strings programme are in the care of Tanya Ramakrishnan, Grace Ah-Quee and Sally Maer. String players participate in the ensembles, thus giving them the opportunity to play and perform together as a group. All Year 3 students learned the violin this year in an innovative programme. Tanya Ramakrishnan has been nurturing this group of beginner string players throughout the year and their debut concert was held at the end of Term 3, in front of an appreciative audience. These students also visited the Perth Concert Hall to hear the West Australian Symphony Orchestra perform a number of popular movie themes and classics. It was great fun! More exciting developments are envisaged for 2000.

To finish the year, during Term 4 the Year 6 and 7 students will participate in sport options including surfing, sailing, windsurfing, abseiling and rock climbing and ice skating. We are pleased that the students have been able to enjoy as wide a variety of sports as possible. Mrs Bronwyn Fricke Sports Teacher

Committee

The nineteenth edition of our College magazine, Calumba, has almost drawn to a close and I hope every one of you has enjoyed reading and flicking through the pages as much as I have grown to love the position of Student Editor of this publication. I would like to say a few thank yous to the people who have made the creation of Calumba a pleasure. The biggest thank you must go to Mr Mark Stapleton and Mrs Helen Renwick. As staff advisers, their tireless efforts and commitment extended above and beyond their 'call of duty'. Without them, Calumba would be only a shadow of what you hold before you today. The beginning of 1999 marked the handover of Calumba from the English Department, making it a more independent publication, calling for greater student involvement. Following last year's newÂ born tradition, the positions of Graphics and Literary Editors were maintained. From the graphics point of view, Calumba underwent major changes this year. Graphics Editor James Halt introduced computer-generated collages and graphics. There were some minor setbacks - to be expected of any new endeavour - associated with compatibility problems between home and school computers as well as the resolution of some photos, yet all of these 'glitches' were overcome. The results of the newly-instituted process combined with more traditional methods have brought a new 'feel' to Calumba, and this could not have been done without James' expertise.

Without one very special team of people, Calumba would not be of the fine standard we see today. Of course, I refer to the Calumba Committee, whose exceedingly high standards of perseverance and dedication will not be forgotten quickly in years to come. Particularly supportive were my fellow Year 12 classmates: Shannon Davies, Richard Baillie, Endriko Winata, Michael Gibbons and Alison Dempster. Each took responsibility for specific areas of the magazine and this, combined with the input of younger students, allowed for a more inclusive team approach. The aim of every student who comes into the position of Chairperson of Publications is to attempt to touch on every aspect of College life. For me, the position of Student Editor has widened my view of how special All Saints' College is. My ultimate goal for the Columba that will mark the end of the millennium was to capture even one tenth of the enthusiasm and effort that is All Saints' College. I knew that if this could be achieved, then this year's Calumba would be a fabulous magazine. Thus, I sincerely hope that this publication, your Columba, will enable you to relive fond memories, to the point where 1999 becomes not the year that was, but the year that still is. Kym Abbott Student Editor Chairperson, Publications Subcommittee

Here, at the end of things, is the beginning to more.

Twelve are the units of years, and learning;

No years relent, thus neither mind.

Doors summon, and pose questions, but

Before you go, remember

Nerves, with too-tight neck, sitting at the Titans' table.

Questions asked - misunderstood.

co T

A nod, a wet nervous laugh and

Somewhere, on a long circular track, a race begins.

Drunk on hours - like water, draining.

Flippantly, contentedly, miserly.

Holding on to that which won't stay still,

Reaching - friends enemies teachers lessons,

Shattering and falling through like

Popcorn in a movie theatre. Feet on chair and

Hushed gigg es. hi s ,s eali g love from the

Eyes of a girl. Moments like rolling film nd

The Pepsi's run out.

Mind, like fire, burgeoning - tongues leap and dance In fancy clothes, a ticket and a walk in shoes not far from fitting. Champagne to drink and a means to go places. Laugh and joy and orrow - time stopped, but For an instant and soaked up in the flare of teeth and gums. You can feel them, taste them, each new memory Found, dusted-off and appreciat d once more. And there's lessons to be had, and heartache. Cherish these as, paper in hand You'll go north in he beginning, to a beach Where whales come to die and people Come to surf, and know all the infinite possibilities Secrets yet to tell and fathom, tidings To rise and fall. And you'll sit and stare at the paper, grinning and intoxicated; Watching the words go in and out of focus in your eyes.
