As in past years, the P&F Executive has been kept busy supporting the College and representing the parents and children of the College. Two issues which occupied a lot of time early in the year were organising the opposition against the proposed Optus telecommunication tower in Richard Lewis Park, and bringing parents' views on air-conditioning at the College to the attention of the Board of Management. With respect to the telecommunication tower, a number of parents, including members of the Executive, spent a lot of time attending meetings with lobby groups, the Melville City Council, College staff and politicians. Many letters were also written, and the Executive played a key role in the organisation of the large protest rally held in Richard Lewis Park on 29 April. All the parents who were involved in these activities, and the parents, staff, children and local residents who attended the rally, are thanked for their support. All these efforts were rewarded when later in the year the College and the P&F were advised that no tele communication tower would be built in Richard Lewis Park, now or in the future. The air-conditioning issue started with parents from the Junior School but spread to involve all parents. It was the major topic of discussion at the Term I Open Meeting and was referred to at subsequent meetings. The issue was originally raised with the P&F, but because we have no authority over the physical resources of the College, the matter was referred to the Board. Following strong representations by the P&F representatives on the Board and the large show of support for air-
activities that affected them. One of the highlights of the meetings was a presentation by Mr lan Warner, Chairman of the Finance, Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Management. For a number of years now parents have been asking that they be given more details of the College's finances, and Mr Warner did just that. Parents who attended went away with a far clearer view of the financial objectives of the Board.We intend to keep the Open Meetings going in 200 I. In line with the aim of better communication between the Executive and the parents. a P&F home page was created on the All Saints' College web site. Information from the Executive was regularly posted, as were the minutes of all the Executive meetings. In addition, the P&F had its own email address. Helen Renwick is thanked for creating and maintaining the home page, and she and Abi Leadbetter are thanked for their assistance in getting P&F information into College publications. The P&F Executive is totally responsible for the staffing and running of the Canteen and Uniform Store. These two businesses would not operate as well as they do without the dedicated work of the managers, part-time staff and volunteers. I thank all the people who have worked in these areas over the past year. I would especially like to recognise June Burton, who resigned/retired this year from her position as a part-time assistant in the Uniform Store. June was a foundation volunteer in the Uniform Store when it first commenced operation in the early 80s and has worked in it every year since. Thank you, June, for your years of commitment. Another initiative of the P&F Executive which started at the end of last year has been the rewarding of academic achievements. For a number of years we have recognised sporting achievements by way of sponsorship grants, so in 1999 we introduced academic awards. These are awarded to the Dux of the College and all students obtaining General Exhibitions, Subject Exhibitions, Certificates of Distinction or Certificates of Excellence awarded by the Curriculum Council.
conditioning displayed at the Open Meeting, the Board commissioned a consultant to examine the physical feasibility and the financial cost of air conditioning all of the College. In addition, a substantial upgrade of the College's transformer was undertaken as part of the construction of the Learning Centre, to enable air-conditioning of the whole College in the future.

The P&F was once again involved in running the College Sundowner, the Careers Night, the Bush Dance and the ACTIV City to Surf Fun Run (the College had the largest school team for the fifth consecutive year); and, as usual, the Ladies' Forum and the Friends of Music continued their involvement in and support of the College. I would like to thank all those parents who were involved in all of these activities.

The year 2000 has brought varied results for Stirling House. The one thing that has not changed. however. has been the fantastic support shown by all members of the House. both staff and students. The result attained in the Swimming Carnival. although disappointing. was definitely not the result of lack of participation. support or enthusiasm.These three elements have been the hallmark of each Stirling performance this year. This carnival saw the birth of the Stirling Dalmatian mascot and the reintroduction of the famous 'Patching' cheer. Congratulations, and thank you to everyone who competed. marshalled and supported. The ongoing Thursday afternoon Interhouse Sport Competition gave our Year 8s an opportunity to participate in team activities. They responded well and. combined with the Year 9s. Year 10s and senior coaches. filled the teams and participated strongly. The next team due for selection was the Interhouse Cross-country Team. Every year group had at least six competitors and. as a result. Stirling won the competition. We again had the champions. but it was the depth of our team that got us over the line. and congratulations go to everyone who ran the gruelling 3 or 4km race: it paid off for Stirling no end.
Quiz were also filled to overflowing and they too produced pleasing results. Our Theatre Sports teams performed excellently and as a result won the competition overall.The Junior Team. the 'Blue Light Disco Divas', won the junior section. Congratulations to everyone who participated in these events as your contribution was vital to the team.
The Interhouse Athletics Carnival was, to my mind. Stirling's greatest triumph' Winning in this case was not everything. as every event but one was filled. Michael Patching got the famous cheers pumping. the usual suspects (and my saviours) took on their marshalling duties with gusto, and people were willing to fill events left vacant through illness or injury. All the elements of participation. support and enthusiasm helped to create a successful day for Stirling. Congratulations once again to those who excelled in their year groups: the event capped off a fantastic sporting performance from the House.
It is important that we recognise and thank the tremendous number of people who contribute to the House in such a broad spectrum of areas. These include Peer Support leaders. carnival marshals, mascots, coaches and supporters. Your efforts are truly appreciated. To the seven Tutor Teachers: your tireless efforts to engender House spirit and your support for the House has, as usual. been outstanding. A special thank you to Mr Robb for his initiative in creating the Stirling inter-tutor group quiz. Thank you to myVice Captains, Jane and Jason: I am so thankful that both of you were so fantastic this year: you filled your roles brilliantly. To Michael Patching and Max Jeganathan, a special thank you for your support.
The cultural activities were approached with equal enthusiasm and as a result we found we had two junior debating teams who both performed very well. The Junior Quiz was also popular. and again we achieved highly. Our senior chess team attained first place. which got our cultural year off to a fantastic start. Senior Debating and the Senior

filled every single race. As the year continued, O'Connor continued to shine in everything that we did. In the Interhouse Cross-country Competition we were missing a few of our best runners, but we still managed to compete well with the other Houses. The Year I 1/12 Rugby 7s and Touch Football Competitions allowed the Year 12s to show off their talents, and we fared well in both competitions. The girls'Touch Football Team made it to the grand final and the game went through many overtimes before we were narrowly beaten by Stirling. It was nonetheless a fantastic effort. The Thursday afternoon Year 8/9/10 Interhouse Sport Competition gave the junior O'Connorians a chance to show off their skills. Everyone had a fantastic time and played their hearts out in everything that they did.A special congratulations goes to the Year 9/10 Boys' Cricket Team, who won the cricket competition. The Interhouse Athletics Carnival again highlighted the strength of team spirit that we have had all year. The carnival saw us leading early, but unfortunately we fell behind in the long-distance races. I am happy to report, however, that again every single event was filled, and therefore no one can be disappointed with ou r effort: it was fantastic.

Along with all of the sporting activities, many Forrest students took part in interhouse quiz competitions, debating, theatre sports and chess. All of these students are to be thanked for giving up lunchtimes or weekends for the benefit of the House. Last and unfortunately least came the Athletics Carnival.

The strength and achievements of Cowan House have been such that there was much speculation by the other Houses concerning our use of performance enhancing substances. The reality, however, is far less sinister, and after such a successful year it's only fair to share

opportunity to utilise the significant intellect in our House and our second place wins in both divisions demonstrated that Cowan could be a 'cultured House' as well as a 'winning House'.
Semester I concluded with Cowan collecting the shield after two exciting afterschool Interhouse Sports Competitions which saw us victorious in first place in both terms. The Interhouse Athletics Carnival was an entirely purple affair, and Captain Cowan with his spectacular Cowanettes saw to it that no one missed our awesome presence either on or off the field. The House spirit on the day couldn't have been more enthusiastic and in combination with our dedication to filling every event, we secured our place in the top three.
Cowan's secret with the rest of the school. Our amazing transformation has been the result of awesome numbers participating in everything, and intense House spirit engendered by Captain Cowan in his super speed Iycra suit. The culmination of hard work and commitment from everyone in Cowan enabled us to preside at the top of the ladder throughout the first three terms. However, as always in the Cowan family, it is the great participation and enthusiasm that distinguishes us from any other House.With such a wholesome philosophy it is hardly surprising that we were so successful. The three major House events - cross-country, swimming and athletics - gave Cowan the chance to prove its true colours (purple) and disturb some of the complacency inherent in those accustomed to being in the top three places.
Captain Cowan's debut at the Interhouse Swimming Carnival undoubtedly had an inspiring effect on our swimmers as Cowan finished in third place overall. The Interhouse Cross-country Competition was a similar success, and as
Without the critical numbers, interhouse touch and rugby were not so much of a success; we nevertheless had much fun and in retrospect it was getting a little boring winning all the time anyway! While sport was a huge success, this was not at the expense of our traditional cultural talent. The junior debaters were narrowly defeated in the finals, and the senior debaters finished third. The Junior
It seems that the prophecy Emily Moore (House Captain 1999) made at the conclusion of last year - 'It is inevitable that one year, Cowan will be right up with the rest and the best of them' - has been fulfilled. Cowan has experienced life at the top - and we like it! The support and help of Vice Captains Jamie Radalj (aka Captain Cowan) and Breony Alien has been instrumental in our achievements and in creating the strength of our unique House spirit. Thanks must also go to Miss Bozich, who has been an invaluable guide for all of us throughout the year. I am sure all three join me in congratulating everyone in Cowan on a year of awesome achievement, and we wish all the best to next year's Captain and Vice Captains.

The theme for Maths Week in 2000 was 'the Olympics  Mathematics in Action'. The usual class competitions involved giving away excessive numbers of Freddo Frogs and new maths stickers. which were very popular. A number of competitions were offered each day including an Olympic jigsaw puzzle. the great straw javelin throw. a logic puzzle and a quest to arrange the maths teachers in order of height. In addition. each member of staff received a maths postcard by email and a special morning tea with 'mathsy' food. Students once again achieved excellent results in a range of mathematics competitions includ ing the Have-Sum-Fun Maths Competition. Year 10 Student Games Camp. Math-O-Quest and the Australian Mathematics Competition. It was in this competition in particular that
Activities in Society and Environment have continued to be varied and extensive. At the senior levels,Year I I and 12 Geography students enriched their learning through field trips to Harvey, Point Peron, the Perth CBD and the meteorological centre at Perth Airport.

Ancient History students viewed the film Gladiator - an entertaining, if not fully educational, experience. Fifty-six Year 10 students sat for the Australian Geography Competition in Term 2 and their results were the best yet.Year 10 students also gained considerable insight into different cultures by being immersed in the study of these cultures in Term 3. In February,Year 9 students began their studies of Australian culture by viewing a most entertaining and informative presentation by
some outstanding performances were achieved. Joshua Gardner (Year 8) was awarded a prize and the Special Achievement Award for the best performance by any student in the College. High Distinctions were awarded to Phi lip Castiglione (Year 8), Kevan Hendry (Year 8). Brooke Loxton (Year 8).Andri Winata (Year 10) and Emma Van Wyke (Year I I). This capped off another outstanding year. Well done to all students who participated in the many mathemat ics activities offered during 2000.

This unit concluded with students forming their own business enterprises - a very rewarding and enjoyable undertaking. Year 8 students began the year by 'Learning to Learn'.This involved learning about the brain, memory. music and learning, environmental influences and learning, learning styles, multiple intelligences and mind-mapping.This was intended to provide students with opportunities to reflect on their own learning in order to be aware of how they learn best. Hopefully, this will be of benefit to them in their future studies. All classes undertook a variety of diverse and varied units and students generally reported very positively on these experiences.Thanks go to Mr Peter Lambert who spoke to all Year 8 students about his experiences in and love for Antarctica.

The ongoing development of new methods for teaching religious education at All Saints' has seen the introduction of an even greater level of crosscurricular teaching.The new scheme is based upon a 'multi-strand' approach, encompassing 'Philosophy', 'Stillness and Silence', 'Comparative Religions', 'Christianity' and 'Morals and Ethics'. Existing programmes that have always successfully embraced this approach include the Karrakatta and St George's Cathedral visits, still well liked by the students, parents and staff.The cemetery excursion allows students to understand and compare ceremonies and rituals from Judaism, Islam and Christianity, and students start to test their own knowledge and beliefs about life, death, Father Terry blessing the Year Is' pets in the Chapel. and eternal life. The year 2000 has seen opportunities for further expansion of the programmes we offer.The Olympics provided an excellent chance to test the students' understanding of symbolism, morals and ethics in relation to
Scie'ZCe
high level sporting events.The Year 5,6 and 7 students investigated and learned from these topics. Year I students studied 'the Blessing of the Animals' by St Francis of Assissi in a crosscurricular mode with their other subjects. As always, the challenge in RE is to encourage the students to investigate feelings and examine personal thoughts about their own faith. At the same time, we strive to create an acceptance of the values and beliefs of other cultures. Nevertheless, there is always the need to make RE fun and exciting.This has been achieved in the Junior School through the Year 4s' enthusiastic construction of the Walls of Jericho (with peanut butter and bread), the Year Ss' creation of the Holy Trinity (with fairy bread) and finally testing the taste buds with John the Baptist's diet of honey and locusts (dried dates!).

It is impossible to describe the extent to which this exchange was invaluable so I would recommend it to everyone. Many unforgettable memories and lifelong friends have bonded with me forever.

The two most incredible months of my life started with the train breaking down on the way to Irsina, a tiny town in the region of Basilicata in the south of Italy. Situated on top of a mountain, overlooking the beautiful countryside and hills, it consisted merely of a few bars, a couple of pizzerias and a pub.
-"Mat _ ~e ~n T-~era.'
As expected, my host family was the best. My host brother was a swimmer and I watched him train four times a week. My host dad was an English teacher and the town's best cross country runner, and my host mum was a primary school teacher and the best cook.
Me and my class.
One of my greatest experiences was walking up and down the main street for three hours each night, meeting new people, looking at the Italians, learning the language and loving the culture. My most treasured moments were: going to Lecce and Matera and seeing about a hundred churches; • my first snowball fight in Potenza; • the school going on strike and going shopping instead; the nativity scenes at Naples; getting firecrackers thrown at me at Christmas; being known by everyone in the town; learning the Irsinian dialect; • going 'walking' without a coat and getting stared at; going wild at New Year; getting the funkiest pants; • and of course the weird and wonderful food - ie eel and FOCACCIA!
Giuseppe Maraglino Giuseppe Maraglino, from Massafra in the south of Italy, spent two wonderful months with the Klyen family while attending All Saints' College. During his time in Australia, Giuseppe had the opportunity to experience Australian culture while at the same time improving his English and teaching others Italian. Giuseppe arrived in Australia on 30 June, just in time for the school holidays, during which he travelled down south and saw the sights ofYallingup, Margaret River and Augusta. When school resumed. Giuseppe attended classes that he would not normally do in Italy, such as cooking and outdoor education. He thoroughly enjoyed himself while in Australia and is anxious to come back soon. Thanks must go out to Mrs Luisa Maio and the other teachers who looked after Giuseppe during his time in Australia. Merrin Klyen

From 28 November 1999 to I February 2000, I was in Italy experiencing two of the most memorable months of my life. I lived with a family in Savona, a city in Liguria on Italy's northern coast, commonly known as the Italian Riviera. My family was great. It consisted of my mum, my dad and my two sisters - Gea (18) and Giuditta (19). Some of my most memorable experiences were: • sunbaking in
St Peter's Basilica, Rome.
-rc weather in the Italian Alps;
• eating focaccia and gelato by the port in Portofino; going to Milan, Genova, Portofino, Limone, Bordighera and Monte Carlo; • going to pizzerias and discos with my friends; • learning the dangers of Italy's crazy drivers. Despite the homesickness, the constant frustration because of the difficulties with communication and the amount of weight I put on, it was the most exciting and unusual experience ever, and it has left me with a lifetime of memories.
Tomasa Scherini I am lucky enough to have stayed in Australia for two months, and even luckier to have attended All Saints' College for the whole eight weeks. During this time, thanks to the Saltmer family, I experienced the Aussie lifestyle with things such as Kings Park, barbecues and the famous Rottnest bakery. I was also able to experience the way that Australians learn in school, and their sociable attitudes towards each other and whoever else possible. I would like to thank everyone for their welcoming attitudes towards me and making this an experience I will never forget. Hope to see you again one day, Tomoso

.- . Although this year's All Saints' College Music Camp was not quite on a par with its American Pie counterpart (a definite plus), it was still a fantastic and fun experience for everyone involved. Music Camp's star-studded line-up included members of the College Orchestra, Band, Strings, Year 8 Choir, and who could forget Mr Beaverstock, Mr Shaw and Mr and Mrs Angel (who behaved exemplarily - a rare phenomenon!).

with friends, chocolate, making new friends and fun. And of course, rehearsals (with chocolate). The free time resulting from not having to do any chores was spent exploring the grounds, playing games of Twister and 'lock-on' - a laser game involving groups of boys who chase other groups of boys with their guns. The hard work and rehearsals culminated in a lunchtime concert for many proud and beaming parents. Without the awe-inspiring organisational skills of Mrs Angel and Mr Beaverstock, and the support of Mr Angel and Mr Shaw, this year's Music Camp would not have been so successful. So, from a very appreciative student body, thanks for everything!

The team of ASC debaters tackled the challenges of impromptu debating with their usual fervour and ebullience. While a few debates were won in the WAOL competition, we failed to make the finals. The AHISA competition commenced and with a slightly altered composition,ASC was determined to do well. Unfortunately this was not to be the case; however the participation alone was very rewarding. Issues debated included IVF treatment, genetic engineering and the Fijian crisis, which made for some very heated debate and often much entertainment. The social aspect of debating was enjoyed by Warren Lynch, Nigel Kerr and Brad Channer, who valued the interaction with many other schools as an enrichening experience, while Viv Lister was puzzled by the Christ Church team, who had some interesting views on women and selective breeding. All the students involved enhanced their oratory skills and much fun was had by everyone. Thanks must be given for the invaluable contribution of Mr Geoff Shaw, who coached and administered the team - often at the expense of his own Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

The senior competition too had great support from the Houses, with O'Connor and Durack in the finals debating whether The future is in good hands'. Many teachers were involved in various ways with this competition  especially Mr Roberts, who coordinated it - and they all deserve a personal thank you.

Once again All Saints' participated in the annual Mock Trial Competition. We were there in force, with the whole of the Year II Political and Legal Studies class participating as well as the more expe rienced Year 12s. Each team was presented with a case, ranging from breaking and entering to grievous bodily harm, and had to argue on the side of either the prosecution or the defence. The team was then given wit ness statements and legal information pertaining to the area of law concerned. Students took on the role of barristers, solicitors, witness es, court orderlies and magistrates' assistants, and prepared a case to argue in front of a magistrate at the Central Law Courts. Each team did extremely well, with most winning two out of three rounds. One of our Year I I teams made it to the preliminary final, in which they were narrowly beaten by Christ Church Grammar School. Everyone got right into the spirit of the competition and took on their roles with relative ease. From the pushy, arrogant and sarcastic
lawyer tricks to the poor little victim ploy, it was evident that all of us had already had plenty of practice in the art of deception (a point on which our parents will probably agree!). The competition was a great experience for us all and taught us a great deal - not just about the legal profession and judicial system, but also about public speaking, quick thinking, teamwork and most of all fun. Many thanks go to Mr Brown, without whom none of this would have been possible. He put in countless hours helping us develop our cases, coaching us after school, running from court to court to watch us, driving the bus, and of course organising the Macca's run on the way home. Thanks also go to Mrs Kaye for her support and help, and to Mr Munro, whose expertise was much appreciated by the Year I Is during their finals preparation. On behalf of us all, thank you, and just wait till next year, because All Saints' definitely has QC material! Kailee Brown Year /1

Senior Speech and Drama The senior students at All Saints' College prepared for the English Speaking Board assessments in Semester I, and produced programmes of a very high standard.These programmes consisted of a prepared talk, a prepared reading and a memorised piece. Some students opted to work in a cooperative way with other students. and they shared the presentation of the pieces. Others prepared solo programmes. The results were excellent and all students were challenged to select. interpret and present their work in a supportive group environment.
Choral Speaking. Dramatic Duologues and Group Drama. In Semester 11, the students prepared for a performance in the Upper Theatre. They selected and rehearsed short plays and in doing so enhanced the performance skills developed in Semester I. The demands of a stage performance are such that students must adhere to a rehearsal schedule. Artistic self-discipline is encouraged in a fun atmosphere. Preparing to perform a stage play requires text work. line learning. stage awareness. character building and a host of skills that are fundamental to effective communication.
Students were given the opportunity to enter the Perth Speech Festival held in Como. This external festival offers students the chance to enter a variety of sections including Public Speaking.

Mokin'lt is a play about life according to teenagers.
Drama production 2000 Sometimes. as an actor. one feels selfish. Although it was the audience who witnessed and enjoyed this production. it was the participants themselves who benefited most from it. This year, the cast of Makin'/t watched as what seemed to be merely piles of paper transformed into a stylish success of great proportion.
Makin'lt is a play about life according to teenagers. The feeling of being lost. the daunting prospect of being out there in the big wide world beyond high school will always be a theme with which people of all ages can identify. It was the amazing talent and enthusiasm of the cast which allowed these messages to be conveyed in such a captivating and entertaining way. This year. the cast contributed greatly to how the play was to be performed, including making important deci sions on stage. music and lighting. With the expert guid ance of Ms Derrington and Ms White. the cast created a masterpiece (or so we believe!). Thanks must go to the entire cast and the Year 12s who helped - particularly Amanda Patching. Becci Soutar. Anthea Smyth. Todd Walsh. Sian Smyth. Laurie Tait. Malcolm Crisp. Caroline Obbard. Claire Wee. Jason Backshall. Brittany Graham. Jane Oates. Lisa Wheatley. Angie Richardson and Breony Alien. Thank you to the audience for supporting us and for makin' it such a joy to perform for you.

This year's Variety Night was definitely an anticipated occasion for the College - for many reasons. Firstly, the theme of the night was a sixties madness 'Austin Powers', with psychedelic lights and a great range of acts, from the powerful dance performance by Tracey Wong to the superb singing of divas Angie and April and the acting extravaganza of Georgie and Amanda. And nobody will forget the dazzling display from Nicole, Max, Anthea, Jane, Cheetham,Vicky and Matty as the famous S Club 7 Pop group doing their version of 'Bring it all Back'. The boys' dancing talents will be remembered by all as top class and very professional.
but all the donations that were collected at the door were part of our project. Thanks must go to my wonderful friends and helpers in the Exec, Mrs Bell and all the people who helped me on the night.

2000
A highly motivated group of boys represented All Saints' College at Rugby Union in the Combined High Schools Competition. We competed at Years 8,9 and 10 level and the boys in Year 9 must be congratulated for reaching the final of the competition. Their tremendous result demonstrates how well a small year group can meld to produce a well polished and skilful team performance. The Year 10s similarly improved markedly and went down to the eventual com petition winners by seven points in the semi-final. Year 8 is really an opportunity to get to know the game for many players, and they certainly did that with great gusto. Well done to them for some excellent performances. The season concluded with an inaugural and keenly contested Sevens Tournament versus Corpus Christi.AII age groups took part, and All Saints' College was the eventual winner by four games to one. Very well done to all the boys who played this season; they should be proud of their performances on the field, and of their conduct off it. Thanks must go to the coaches, Mr Hayter and Mr Hancy, Michael Patching and Jono Minutillo, and to the Grounds Staff for a superb job with the pitches.

Year 9 Rugby Well done to the boys for their excellent achieve ment this season. The team played as a tight-knit and committed unit and ended as undefeated premiers of the South Zone Competition. This is of particular merit as we beat the strong Warnbro Community College side, a team we have never beaten before.
In the South versus North Zone Premiers Grand Final, the boys demonstrated courage, skill and deter mination against the much stronger and aggressive Aranmore College team, losing by seven points. The coaches and spectators were most impressed by their 'never say die' attitude during the game, and with the way the team played in the spirit of the game.

This has been one of the best seasons in the history of rugby at All Saints' College. Much of the success has been due to the commitment of the players and the special coaching input from Michael Patching (Year 12). Thank you all for a rewarding and enjoyable season. Mr Bruce Hancy

standard many of the schools in 'A' Division perform. At the end of the day All Saints' had finished a very • respectable fifth overall, and for the fourth year in a row had taken out the Senior Boys'Trophy. Throughout the day all of the students performed excep tionally well. Special congrat ulations must go to Tim Newing (Year 1I), Brad Dawson (Year 12), Charles Norcross (Year 1I ),james Groom (Year I I) and Anna Norton (Year 12) for their selection in the ACC Honorary Representative Team. The Open Boys' Relay Team - Brad Dawson (Year 12), Michael Taggart (Year 12),Andrew Munro (Year 12) and lames Groom (Year 11) - must also be congratulated
for breaking the longstanding Open Boys' Relay record! The traditional Swim Team BBQ followed the carnival. As per usual it gave the swim mers a chance to let their hair down and for some to receive awards. This year, Swimmer of the Year was awarded to Michael Bollig (Year 12) and Trent Bowden (Year I0). Two new awards were also pre sented for the first time: the Outstanding Swimmer of the Year went to Brad Dawson (Year 12) and the Development Award went to Kieran Longbottom (Year 10). Once again it turned out to be a very suc cessful and enjoyable swimming season. Thanks must go to every teacher, parent and past student who assisted at any time during the season, and to jenni Booker (Co captain), Andrew Munro, Michael Patching and Melissa Bryant (Vice Captains).Thank you for your support. However as always I'll save the best till last: to MrWhipp and Ms Richens, a huge thank you for your enthusi asm, persistence and encouragement throughout the season. Well done to the swimmers, and thank you to everyone who supported us this year.
Well another year has already flown past us, but even before school began there was a dedicated group of stu dents attending swim training at Bicton Pool.After a few weeks we had the Interhouse Carnival and then, a few weeks later, the /: ACC 'A' Division Carnival at Beatty Park. This year, like any other, was a chance for all the swimmers to put their training into practice, and for many of them to showcase their talent.

If ever there was a College activity which tested both the mental and the physical endurance of the participants. then cross-country would be it. Training four times a week before school, at times in freezing conditions, really sorts out who wants to be involved. Throughout the season this year numbers at training were fairly consistent, and thanks must be given to those students who continually showed up. morning after morning. Once Camp Week and the school holidays had passed. it was back to training - and before many people had time to think. the Interhouse Cross country Carnival was upon us. This afternoon was a good indication of how strong the ACC team would be. and many runners per formed well.After the Interhouse Carnival all training was focused on the main races at Perry Lakes.
So after many river runs, College courses and exhaustive intervals. the team was ready for its day at Perry Lakes. It came almost without warn ing, and at first glance this year's team appeared to be smaller than in previous years. However it became evident that although the team was small, the effort put in by those who participated was more than anyone could have asked for. Throughout the day there were many note worthy performances, and those who performed exceptionally well were selected in the ACC Honorary Representative Team. They were Aleisha Anderson (1st U/l6 Girls).Jenni Tibbits (3rd Utl7 Girls),Tegan Martyn (5th U/l8 Girls) and Nathan Avery (5th Utl7 Boys).With efforts like these and the entire team performing well, it was a great experience to be involved. By the end of the day there was a feeling that the team had done reasonably well: to then come second overall was a fantastic achievement. The whole cross-country season was very suc cessful. It could not have happened without the support of Mr Coliins and many other PE staff, as well as the parents who gave up their early mornings to prepare breakfast. Your assistance was very much appreciated. Along with these
people I would like to thank Jason Avery, Tegan Martyn and Melissa Bryant (Co-captains) and Amanda Patching and Clare Witham (Vice Captains) for their support and hard work throughout the season. To next year's team: I hope that all of you approach cross-country with the same enthusi asm as the 2000 team. Thank you and good luck!

On 2 July, the All Saints' College Sailing Team left Perth for Melbourne to compete in the 2000 Australian Secondary Schools Team Racing Championship hosted by Royal Geelong Yacht Club. All Saints' had previously won the right to representWA in this competition in an upset win over Christ Church Grammar School. This in itself was a surprising but fantastic effort.
with us, ready for any combination. Tuesday was the first day of actual racing. In the first race we were against Queensland, the eventual winners of the championship. They beat us convincingly (I think most of the team were still trying to wake up).We then went up against all the other states and although we only had one win against New South Wales, some of our races were very close.
The team approached the task of training with great dedication, and towards the end looked to be a cohesive unit. Unfortunately this was somewhat affected by Elliot Lawrie breaking his wrist the morning before we flew out. Thanks go to Vanessa Trilling who became the quick stand-in. No one was more disappointed than Elliot, whose skills were really going well.
Over the week we managed to beat every team except for Queensland at least once. We were gradually improving and working together in our new team combinations. Overall we finished a close fifth to Victoria, learned many new skills and met lots of new people. With two of our sailors ending up skippering instead of crewing, this can only help to extend the knowledge and experience for next year.
The final team was Melissa Bryant, James Henderson, Damon Johns, Robert Senior,Trent Stead, Warwick Stead and Vanessa Trilling. Mrs Johns was our manager and did a fantastic job looking after us all while we were away and organising all the fundraising beforehand. Nick Bryant was our coach and spent considerable time with us before and during the regatta.
Once again on behalf of the team, thanks to everyone from within All Saints' and outside, especially Mrs Johns and Nick, who committed so much of their own time and effort. This was a fantastic opportunity for us all, and hopefully just the start of All Saints' College's future success in sailing.
The Monday was a practice day. Each team went through a weigh in to make sure the combined weight of each crew was at least I 10kg and was given two hours to go out and get used to the conditions and the boats. We carried an extra 17kg of lead over

Fremantle Netball Association This year was an amazing season for Year 9 netball at ASC. What more could we have asked forI Only four losses in the entire season, a preliminary final win and a seven point winning margin over Rossmoyne in the JBS Grand Final.Working through differences and problems, the girls truly learned to play as a team and thoroughly deserved the premier's title. Thanks must go to the excellent Year 10 coaches, the parents for their help and encouragement and Ms Costello for her overall coordination and organisation of umpires. It was wonderful for the Year 10s to be able to play as a group of friends again in JA6 and although we only had two wins we had a lot of fun. Playing against the intellectually handicapped team was a unique experience which we will not forget. Thanks to Mr O'Oea for coaching us and the many parents who supported us. 2000 Netballers

Everyone was packing their bags into the buses and there were tears filling people's eyes. NOT! Everyone was happy to be off on a week away from mum and dad and on our way to a week of fun. The bus trip was probably the worst part of camp, but it only took an hour and a half and as we approached the camp site all you could hear was 'Can I be in your dorm?', or 'Whose dorm are you in?'. After we got off the bus we chose our dorms and then had lunch. After lunch my group headed for the pamper pole...an 8.5 metre pole with a really small platform at the top. Once you reached the top (it was really windy so it shook a lot!), you had to jump out to catch a trapeze which was quite a long way away. After that we did boomerang painting, and when we got back we had a bit of free time before tea and our games night, which was fun. The next day we had an early start and we did all kinds of fun activities, and by the end of the day everyone was exhausted. On the Wednesday it was our group's turn to go on the overnight camp, which was really great until we were told that we had to walk to the camp site.. .4.5km. It was called the 'incentive J' walk', and it was actually fun because /, , you had to pass certain activities and we got wet! When we arrived at the ~ / camp site we all raced to the tents and settled in, then we had to start making our own kebabs and cooking them on open fires. What a disaster! Our tent burned Mrs Angel's cooking tool...so we had to wash the dishes. After we got back from the overnight camp that afternoon, everyone was excited because the disco was on. After we had tea the bathroom was packed with people doing their hair and getting ready. The disco was fun and everyone danced, and afterwards the raffle was drawn before we all went to bed. In the morning we packed up the buses and left for home. The camp was fun, and no one wanted to leave.

As 140 Year 9s arrived at All Saints' bright and early (6.30am) on Monday morning. the general feeling was of anticipation. excitement and possibly anxiety as we waited for Camp Week 2000 to begin! People collected their bags and bundled on the buses. and we headed off to Nanga Bush Camp. The group was separated into two lodges. Timbarra and Currawong. Almost as soon as we had unpacked our gear we were taken to our first activity. The fun-filled week consisted of rock-climbing. abseiling. rafting. canoeing. hiking (13kms!), an enviroquest, a video night. a games night. archery. a jokes night. a confidence course and swimming in the local swimming venue - Baden Powell Pool (watching out for the occasional water creaeure).The most memorable activity, however. would have to have been the overnight camp. After making a fire, cooking dinner and sleeping in tents - well. we all appreciated our homes a little more. This camp was a huge success and we would like to thank the staff. the Year 12 helpers and our cook for making it all possible.

5/111~'V «iVe,\ p~ C11~ Shannon River Horseback Camp was a camp where some of us could conquer our fears and challenge ourselves to do things we would otherwise never have been able to do. Our expectations of the camp were far from what it was actually like. We were told
that there was a solar shower and that we might want to wear our bathers. We were also told that the toilet was a 'long drop'. Well, when we got there the long drop toilet had no door but a beautiful view of the karri forest. and the reason we needed our bathers was that the shower was out in the open. Right from the start we were riding non stop to places that were completely isolated. Galloping along the beach and riding for six hours at
a time (with very sore bums) while admiring amazing scenery are experiences that none of us will ever forget. Thanks to Mr Roberts and Ms Beemster for organising such a great camp, and to Kevin and Joe, who made the best pancakes any of us have ever eaten. Michelle 8iemel

On Saturday I April, a group of thirty-five eager and excited students boarded Gus and Betty the buses (as Mr Hayter named them) to take us to Big Valley in Margaret River for a week of fun and adventure. As soon as we hopped off the buses we were straight into the afternoon's activities, which included caving, abseiling, rock-climbing, canoeing and a navigation exercise.
Throughout the week there were many mem orable moments such as SOMEONE finding TOO many holes to fall down, the record for the amount of times falling out of a canoe and a group arriving back three hours late from the navigation exercise. Overall it seemed everyone enjoyed the camp and it was a great success. Thanks to all the staff and camp leaders involved - and to our mums, who did all the dirty washing when we got home!

~~..~. C/1o!fe fl8e Catfl{ It was an early Sunday morning when fifteen Year 11 and two Year 10 students arrived at the College, eagerly awaiting the trip to Augusta.After loading up the mini-bus and overcoming some minor problems - such as Kathryn's mum having to drive all the way home to pick up the forgotten sleeping bag - we were all set and raring to go.
At 6.30am on Day 2 there was already movement in the ranks. Matt and Chris's 'fabulous giant tent' had blown down and they were forced to sleep out in the rain with only a sleeping bag and boxer shorts. Needless to say that tent never went back up, and it was lucky we had a spare one.We all had a fairly hard night with the bad weather, but we were ready for the day's canoeing adventure. Everything started off peacefully, but before long Vicki, Kailee, Steph, Claire, Kit, Paul, Chris and Matt
were at war - battle of the sexes Round I. Let's just say we all needed a hot shower after this episode.
Miraculously, even with Mr Hill and Mrs Johns driving we made it to the Augusta Caravan Park in one piece. Having already done a brief stop at the high ropes course at Merribrook, we were all tired and just wanted to get our camp set up, but it was still well past IOpm before
the camp site was organised and we could final Iyeat.
The next couple of days were spent learning to surf and were probably the highlight of the camp. We all had a wonderful time and even got our photos taken for a Singapore Airlines maga zine! The next few days were spent orienteering, caving, participating in some team-building games and just having a great time. We spent

our whole camp in fits of laughter, whether it be from raiding Mr Hill's tent and pinning up his 'Bad Boy' Bart Simpson boxer shorts in the kitchen area, Steph's Tarzan efforts, throwing Mr Hill in the ocean, Kailee and Kit's 'who is better' war, the C1aire Witch Project, Steph's massager, or the chorus of 'love is in the air' and 'the hus tie'. We had the greatest experiences and made some lifelong friendships on a camp that none of us will forget in a hurry. This camp would not have been possible with
out the expertise of Mrs Johns and Mr Hill.
They put in countless hours of preparation and
survived a whole week with a bunch of
teenagers. They were absolutely fabulous and
the camp would not have gone ahead, or have
been as good as it was, without the presence of
these two great teachers. On behalf of all of us
- thank you!

Surf, sand and sun were basically what this camp was about. Besides the long drive to Dunsborough and back, we were on the go from 6.30am till 4pm catching the 'banging' surf. Our days were filled with 'woo-hoos' from our very excitable surf coaches when we actually managed to catch a wave, tubes of white zinc and deli cious meals from Mrs Machar.The excellent conditions meant we were all definitely pro surfers by the end of the five days, but Brody and Taryn took out the trophies from the surf camp for best male and female surfers. We didn't want to leave, so saying good bye to Josh, Brook, Mick, Teresa and of course Mrs Machar was really hard, but we all packed up and endured the four-hour drive back...although not without a stop-off at McDonald's. Thanks to Miss Richens and Mr Whipp for making this camp an outstanding success.

As well as the two lovely teachers who organised the camp this year (Miss Chescoe and Mr Balding), we also had a bunch of staff at the riding school who taught our lessons. They were very patient and helpful, seeing that almost all of us who attended the camp were novices.Without their patience we wouldn't have been able to learn as much as we did. In addition to our daytime lessons, we enjoyed a range of night-time activities includ ing spotlight. a flour-bomb fight and a game of Scattergories that was even more fun than usual because we were all hypo after eating lollies, so everyone was giving most of the answers away as they went along! On the second night of camp we all rode for three hours to a clearing where we pitched our tents alongside a newly-built hall. After putting up our tents we had our barbecue
dinner and then started experimenting with bananas and chocolate over the barbie. By the time we went to bed it was blowing a gale, and at about 2am we heard the people from the other tent in hysterics. Part of their tent had collapsed on top of them and they had to knock it down to put it back together. What made it more fun was that we couldn't see a thing! After we'd put it back up we couldn't sleep, so we stayed awake until 6am before facing the three-hour ride back again. We'd like to thank Mr Balding and Miss Chescoe for all their help and for the time they dedicated to organising this year's camp. It wouldn't have been enjoyable without them. Compiled by

It was an early start as a group of Year 10s and 11 s packed the bikes (and more impor tantly the food) into the trailer. Four hours later. the bus dropped us off somewhere that seemed to be a long way from the camp and we started our ride to Donnelly River.Around the Donnelly River camp site there was plenty of wildlife. including kanga roos, emus, parrots and kookaburras. We were exhausted when we arrived and all collapsed into our cottages.
During the rest of our camp we rode a fair bit (obviously, being a cycling camp and all!). The rides were through beautiful karrj forests and along the forest tracks. We also enjoyed the other activities that the camp offered. including sandboarding. canoeing. flying foxes and cooking and preparing our meals. Some of the best times at our camp were spent laZing around in front of the fire. playing cards. listening to music and toasting marshmallows.
A very big thank you must go to Mrs Cameron and Mr McMahon and our guide Andy Russell for making this camp a huge success.

After a tiring and extremely long bus ride all the way to Collie, the fourteen Year I Is on the Whitewater Kayaking Camp found themselves in a little camp site at Honeymoon Pool.After setting up our tents and checking our toilet facilities for the week, we carried our canoes down to the water to discover our new domain. Throughout the five days we practised our new and brilliant (or not so brilliant) skills on rapids, waterfalls, other types of white water and the endless flat stretches. Besides this the other most exciting part of the camp was practising our pre-packaged food
cooking skills - especially Ricki, who made us all custard. After this there was nothing left to do but sit around the campfire and exchange well-deserved massages after 12km of kayaking.

Most of us 'hang out for summer'. During those dark, gloomy winter days of seemingly constant rain, all we can think about is long stretches of white sunlit beaches. 'Bring on the endless summer', I thought...until I experienced the exhilaration of the All Saints' Ski Trip! There is nothing, absolutely nothing that compares with spending a day (let alone six days) in the snow at Falls Creek. Each morning greeted us with fresh snow falls, and even our human alarm clock couldn't distract us from the inspirational views from our windows. Only Santa was missing from a picture that truly belonged to a European Christmas. By about 9am we, too, were images on postcards, dressed in our brightly-coloured beanies, ski pants and jackets against the stark white background of the mountains. From then on it was ski, ski, ski! (Or snowboarding, just for a change.)
Melbourne also had its highlights. Who could forget the dawning realisation that no one has movie star looks at 5.30am after catching the 'red eye special' from Perth (a truly equalising experience!). Then there was the shopping! From Chapel Street to the Victoria Markets, there was always a bargain to be found (drat that small suitcase!).The boys were enthralled by the football at the MCG (Collingwood vs Sydney) and the girls were enthralled by the players...but their hearts still belonged to shopping! So now when I'm lying stretched out on the sand, the sun's rays warming my browned body...my mind will return to Falls Creek. 'Bring on the endless snow!'

There were many potential clips for 'Australia's Funniest Home Videos', particularly in the early days, but our bruised bodies and egos were quickly soothed by the warmth of the lodge's spa, heated pool and sauna. The delicious three-course meals also went quite some way to replenishing our tired bodies. Apres ski activities were many and varied - a Christmas in July, a quiz night, lounging in front of the wide screen Tv. Camaraderie doesn't get much better than this!

The recipe for success: thirteen eager and newly-recruited 2000
Student Exec members;
a few daring teachers;
a chaplain (and a darn good cook!);
throw in some early-morning starts (not
so good for some);
compasses and maps will do quite nicely
to start our adventure;
then add bog-trotters and blindfolds - as
many as you wish;
sprinkle in one nature boy (just add
Adam and a couple of near-streaks...);
spiders' webs are also a tasty inclusion;
stir through twenty-five barrels, planks of
wood and a few ropes (what were they
for again?);
liberally spoon in acid pits and chocolate
rivers and leave to simmer for five days;
and to put the icing on the cake
(Iiterally)...some chocolate sauce.

Thanks must go to Mr Hill, Miss Richens, Mr Davies, Ms Costello, Father Terry, Mr London and all the other teachers who were kind enough to have a quick taste of what was to come for the 2000 Student Executive Committee. Mmm...we all agreed that the camp proved to be a handy reminder of what we were in
for. We would just have to wait and see if this year's Exec put all the ingredients in just right!

of Gala Balls...
...and Teddy Bears
The College's 20th Anniversary Gala Ball was held on Friday 25 August and gave members of the College community a chance to put on their finery and come together for a special social occa sion.
In celebration of twenty years of All Saints' College, groups throughout the school adopted a teddy bear, named it and dressed it to in some way represent themselves. Our par ticular thanks are extended to those whose creativity and generosity of time brought us these lovely bears.
As is always the case with grand occasions such as this, a great deal of effort went into the organisation of the ball, most of it unseen and unacknowledged. As well as recording for posterity some of the images of the ball, therefore, this page aims to acknowledge the hard work and creativity of Serena Ellison, Sofi Marks,Anne Miller, Susan Mills, Madeleine Unton and Dorelle Coates, along with Mel Fialho, Jan Kaye and Max Stewart.Your determination to make the ball a night to remember, your patience and your dedication did not go unnoticed.
Ten bears were auctioned at the ball itself and raised in excess of $1 1,000. These bears were 'A D Min' (the Admin bear), 'Moby' (the Board bear), 'Winton' (the Library bear), 'ASC Angel' (the pastoral care and guidance bear), 'Byron' (the English Department bear), 'Des Tech' (the Design Technology bear), 'Oly' (the Year 6/7 bear), 'Franjapita' (LOTE's bear), 'Yehudi Bearverstock' (for the Music Department) and 'Bomber' (the Principal's bear).
A great many organisations also helped us in one way or another. To you, too, we offer our sincere thanks. Your support of the College, its students and its parents is greatly appreciated.
Four bears were then raffled in the Junior School - 'Baby Bear' (the Pre-primary/Year I bear), 'Jill' (the staff bear), 'Harry Potter' (Years 2-5) and 'Peabody' (created by the P&F). Six bears were auctioned through the Senior School 'Albert' (the Science Department bear), 'Hetti' (the Phys Ed Department bear), 'Banter' (the Society and Environment bear), 'Escher' (the Maths bear), 'Terry' (the Grounds and Maintenance bear) and 'Mack Vant' (the Student Executive bear). The originality and thought that went into the creation of these bears was amazing. Our thanks and admiration go to all the creators, and our best wishes go to all the bears and their new families. Thank you too to Maree Holt and the Ladies' Forum for supporting the bears in every way and looking after their best interests to the very end.

Integrated EnvironmentaI Enrichment Activities A very enthusiastic group of Year 4 and 5 students has met regularly this year to explore matters related to our wonderful environment whilst meeting student outcome requirements in the areas of English, Science, Society and Environment, Mathematics and Arts Learning Areas and demonstrating core values. From the students' perspective, they had a lot of fun playing with worms, decorating worm buckets, telling their friends what scraps worms like and what they do with the scraps. At other times they got their hands in the garden and had first-hand experience adding good rich manure to build a healthy soil for their seeds and seedlings. Their greatest interest and challenge was learning how to care for and restore Bull Creek Park to its natural beauty. The Environment Club has been enriched by the help, trust and guidance of the two Melville Environmental Officers, Bill and Gavin. They have helped us to explore and appreciate the beauty and fine balance in our precious natural world. We are very grateful for their regular commitment to our programme.

Computer Club
A small group of devoted computer buffs met each Wednesday afternoon to work on a number of tasks. During first term, the students learned how to design their own PowerPoint presentations. Creating the slides was easy; trying to animate them appropriately was the hard part.The anima tions made the text fly on and off the screen and then sounds were introduced. The next difficult part was to present the PowerPoint to the group. The key, they found, was not to read out the slides, but to talk about the ideas that they generated. The end result was clever and entertaining. During second term, the students had a taste of creating their own web site.With help from one of our computer lab techni cians, we made a start looking at a variety of templates. Later. one of our talented dads. Hr Blyth. kindly offered his time and expertise to help us to create a variety of pages with special features added. Not all
students were able to com plete their web site, but I'm told that web sites are never static, they should be changed regularly to reflect new ideas. opinions and tastes. Again with the help of our lab technician. the results of our work have been post ed on the College intranet in the Junior School section. In Term 3. students experienced the cre ation and development of a newsletter. We critiqued a variety of templates and then used these to design custom-made newsletters to suit various classes.We even included photographs of students to high light their achievements and attributes. A couple of ideas are planned for Term 4. though no definite decisions have been
taken. The plans depend on the interest of the group. The number of students in this group is not large. but the commitment made by them to attend every week has been most commendable. I value my lessons in this group, with every session bringing some thing new for me. Ms} Bums

The Junior School music programme involves all students in a comprehensive range of developmental musical experiences. In addition to the classroom music programme, students are able to choose options such as choir, string, recorder and keyboard ensembles, recorder band, concert band and orchestra  giving them opportunities to gain further insights and performance skills. We have two choirs in the Junior School and over 100 students from Year 3 to Year 7 enjoy participating in them. Mr John McCumiskey and Mr Barry Palmer select a varied repertoire that is designed to develop vocal skills amongst the choristers. The recorder is taught to all students from Year 3 onwards and students from middle and upper primary are also able to participate in one of two recorder ensembles. Mr Barry Palmer conducts the more experienced recorder ensemble.
learning the violin early in the year. The final concert in Term 4 was an exciting and memorable occasion for the class and a great sense of pride and achievement was shown by all the young violinists, These students, as well as the Band, both Orchestras and all String Ensembles, visited the Perth Concert Hall to hear the West Australian Symphony Orchestra perform a number of popular movie themes and classics. Our keyboard programme continues to flourish. With Mrs Val Anderson coordinating nearly thirty students from Pre-primary to Year 7, their lunchtime concert in Term 3 brought together a varied and popular programme of music.
This year has seen enormous developments in the orchestral scene, with the formation of the first ever orchestras in the Junior School: the Training Orchestra and the Junior School Orchestra. The Junior School now boasts two string ensembles, two orchestras, a Year 5,6,7 String Ensemble and a violin programme brought together to form the Junior School Orchestra by Ms Ramakrishnan, with the Junior School Band brought together by Mr McCumiskey.
Once again this year a wide range of instruments has been taught by a team of dedicated tutors. Thank you to Ms Tanya Ramakrishnan (violin), Mrs Grace Ah-Quee (viola), Ms Sally Maer (cello). Ms Shelley Hogan (double bass), Ms Tresna Stampalia (flute), Mrs Irene Batini (recorder), Mr Lindsay Gould (clarinet), Mr Kevin Fenner (saxophone), Ms Jennifer Coleman (trumpet), Mrs Coral Shipard (piano). Mr Barry Palmer (popular piano), Mr Andy Hassan (classical guitar). Mr Andrew Winton (electric guitar), Mr Lindsay Evans (percussion/drums), Mrs Julie Durant (voice) and Mrs Valorie Anderson (keyboard) for completing our team and providing a range of opportunities to our students.
This year has also been another extremely successful year for the innovative Year 3 violin programme. All Year 3 students commenced
Solo performers are encouraged in both class music lessons and at weekly assemblies. Performing in front of a large audience can be
a daunting prospect, but in our friendly and supportive school environment, the students become very keen to participate, quickly gaining confidence. In Term 2 the annual string. piano and recorder recital gave students the opportunity to perform to an appreciative audience. Its popularity was such that 200 I will see this recital expand into two recital evenings. Term 3 began with a flurry of activity as class groups rehearsed for the Junior School Concert. In amongst all this activity, the students learning keyboard gave a lunchtime recital to an enthusiastic audience. The Year 4 string ensembles, Junior School Orchestra and violin students also performed at lunchtime recitals. In Term 4 the Junior School Music Concert gave our choirs. recorder ensembles, bands, orchestras, violin and keyboard ensembles. string, woodwind, brass and piano students the opportunity to perform in the Lower Theatre. Our young musicians enjoyed showcasing their talents to an audience that marvelled at the depth and breadth of talent amongst our Junior School student community. The music programme at All Saints' College Junior School continues to blossom, and thanks go to our dedicated team of music teachers. the students and the parents for their continued cooperation and commitment to music.

R£PORT If 'fun, great stories and chocolate' sounds like just the sort of thing you'd be interested in, then you would have enjoyed the Literacy Club run by Mrs Choate and myself. Every Thursday lunchtime. a committed group of Year 4-7 students met in the Enrichment Room to share stories and write about interesting topics. Some of the activities the group covered included interesting book reviews. speeches and the construction of a wonderful classroom display to entice developing readers. A great deal of fun was had by all and the group provided further evidence that the more fun you have. the more you learn. Yes, reading can be fun' Thanks go to all the super students who made the club such a success. We all hope we can do it again next year'

The Year 7 classes have had a strong focus on developing the skills of effective public speaking. The students have been given several opportunities to practise and develop speaking before an audience in small and large group scenarios. Each year All Saints' College participates in the Speakers Challenge. an interschool public speaking competition hosted by Perth College. The Year 7s held a mini 'speak-off' to decide on their representatives. After much deliberation, Brad Jefferies,Alana Dyson and Tegan Armarego-Marrion were chosen. However, our standards were so high that Mr Jenzen and myself chose another three students - Lauren Separovich, Jayde Harding and Prateik Shilkar and we entered a second competition, the 'Speak Up' award open to all schools. All of our students performed extremely well and we acknowledge Prateik Shilkar and Jayde Harding for reaching the preliminary final of their competition. Each student was a credit to the College.

about to make the choice easier. She also related how her son went about choosing a topic and how he then undertook an investigation that resulted in him winning one section of the Science Talent Search competition several years ago. This fired the students up to decide on their proposal and then the area that they wanted to enter. They then took it in turns to email their submission to the Science Teachers' Association. I guided them through the steps to complete their tasks.

This year a small group of students met with me regularly on Tuesday afternoons to partici pate in a Science Club, with the intention of entering STAWA Science Talent Search. Getting started in this activity is the hard part. Primary students could choose Investigations, Inventions or Science Photography. Each of these choices involved further decisions. Mrs Naylor kindly came to our first meeting and gave the students a checklist of things to think
The finished products were a credit to the students, who ranged from Year 3 to Year 7. There were several budding inventors. One came up with a Junkmobile - a device that would help people take lots of things upstairs in one go. Another invented a Pageturner, cre ated out of a need to turn a page of music while playing the violin. Finally, a new football board game and a catapult were designed. The Science Photography section created some interest tooThe aim in this section of Talent Search was to create a theme using a series of photographs and a short blurb or commentary. One student explored butterfly
mimicry whilst another revealed the birth of a chick, and another photoboard looked at nat ural chemicals in food. The attention to detail and the clever way the photographs were pre sented made stunning viewing. Not only were the photographs interesting to look at, but the information was well researched. Science Investigations encourage students to search out an answer to a question. Our stu dents' questions ranged from determining the most robust material for tree-climbing clothes to the best value tissues, the most protective band-aids, the best surface for a small car to travel on, and the most versatile multi-pur pose shoes. They had to pose the question, predict the results, and design some tests to find out the answer. Finally conclusions had to be made based on the test results. Students were keen in their endeavours and the various projects presented realistic oppor tunities to gain new skills and understanding. Some students learned to use a sewing machine, whilst another learned the idiosyn crasies of camera use. I was thrilled to be able to work with such a dedicated and focused group of students and we all had a lot of fun learning.

Is it money that makes the world go round? Is there a place for chivalry in today's society? These questions and many other inter esting questions have been debated by our very enthusiastic Year 7 interschool debaters.We have had the privilege of debating against worthy rivals such as Hale School, Pen rhos College, St Mary's Anglican Girls' School and several others. Incorporating debating into the Year 7 curriculum has once again allowed us the luxury of having a vast pool of competent, confident and enthusiastic students to draw from for interschool competi tions. It has also meant that all students have had the opportunity to learn this valuable skill and increase their confidence in speaking in front of an audience. The excellence of the students has been evident in their under standing and analysis of topics, their ability to give well-structured arguments and their confident presentation skills. The fact that All
Saints' College has won seventeen out of twenty-one debates is indicative of their excellent performances. We now look forward to the All Stars' Challenge, which will take place in Term 4, after this issue of Columba has gone to press. Schools select 'the best of the best' to compete in both prepared and impromptu debates. These are both challenging and entertain ing. This is a very high standard of competition and we have faith that, no matter what the final result, the All Saints' College students will present extremely well. Thank you to all the parents of our wonderful debaters who give their time and wonderful support and also 'ferry' their children to schools near and far.

OuSt RÂŁPORT Another great year for Molloy kicked off with the election of our Year 7 House Captains,jenna Thomson and Kyle August. Our Year 6 House Captains, elected later, were Sharon Wong and Matthew Monaco. With such capable leaders in place we all knew Molloy would be in great hands. Molloy kicked off the fundraising in Term with all proceeds raised going to the Cancer Wellness Centre. Miss Sally Fiegert, our fearless Year 5 teacher and Molloy superfish, entered the Rottnest Challenge Swim with a team of friends. Miss Fiegert chose to use
this event as a fund raiser for the Wellness Centre as she has experienced the pain of knowing someone affected by cancer. The junior School supported her effort by sponsoring and donating money for her swim. A fabulous amount was raised and we all applaud Miss Fiegert's amazing effort. Other fundraising activities included a cake stall, raffles and free dress day. We were all thrilled and very proud when Molloy managed to raise $1,069.20 for the Cancer Wellness Centre.
(Year 6 Champion and Runner-up Girl respectively) and Matthew Monaco (Year 6 Runner-up Boy). We now look forward to the Interhouse Athletics Carnival. Molloy students have been training hard during sport lessons and at lunchtimes. I am confident that no matter what the result, Molloy will once again show tremendous enthusiasm and House spirit. This positive attitude is what makes Molloy special. GO MOLLOY!
The Year 4-7 Interhouse Swimming Carnival was our first chance to show the fabulous spirit for which Molloy is well known. All students competed in races and gained points for Molloy. It was a wonderful evening and we particularly acknowledge Matthew Monaco, who was Champion Boy for Year 6. The House Captains and myself were also delighted with the efforts of all of our Molloy students in the Interhouse Cross country Carnival held in second term. There was a terrific House spirit and everybody gave their best and can be proud of their contribution. Particular congratulations go to jessica Laidman and Phillippa Lambert

After learning about islands and coastal ecosystems in Term I, we were all very excited about our camp on Rottnest.We boarded the ferry on Tuesday 4 April with Miss Fiegert, Miss Johnson, Mrs Hardinge and five very brave parents! We had many exciting activities planned for the week on Rottnest Island. Our camp site was in an excellent position right next to the Basin and a football oval. Pinkies Beach was also a short walk from our huts. Although we did a lot of educa tional activities, the highlight of this camp was definitely the beach.We went to the beach about twice a day: some of us snorkelled while others played beach cricket with Mr Dewar and Mr Yallop as umpires. Getting our bikes on Wednesday was fun because we could get to places so much more quickly. We soon learned not to lose anything while on camp because Miss Johnson would take our forgotten items and pretend that they had been lost for ever! This made James panic on a few occasions! The parents and teachers did an excellent job with the catering. Because we were doing so much exercise every day, we were always hungry. Mrs Fyfe made a rule that cakes could only be eaten after the fruit was gone - that's sneaky! On Thursday night we were all looking forward to our Red Rooster chicken packs for dinner, but they unfortunately 'forgot' our order. What a disaster! Mrs Hardinge saved the day. After some hard negotiating with Red Rooster, we scored a very nice dinner with extra chips and free nuggets thrown in at a reduced price. The Quiz Night was heaps of fun. Alastair Fyfe amazed us all by eating ten Smarties in three seconds. Apparently he swallowed them whole! The Concert Night on Thursday was what we had all been waiting for. Casper looked great in a red dress and high heels - he even had a curly black wig. Jessica Cumins did a solo dance penormance and some of the boys surprised us with some excellent dance moves. By Friday afternoon we were all very tired but full of wondenul memories of what we had done during our stay at Rottnest.There were lots of funny stories to tell and we learned a lot about each other. The parent helpers each had their own individual talents and were a great help throughout the camp. On behalf of all the Year 5 students, we would like to thank the teachers for organising this wondenul camp and the parents for giving up four days for us. We all had a fantastic time on Rottnest Island.

Year 6D Camp Capers My favourite time on camp, beSides the time it was damp, Was at the alpaca farm where we held the rabbits, so calm.
Brooke Smith
I loved being with my friends: I pray each camp never ends, Camp would not have been fun without everyone.
Tamara Kerr
When we went to the alpaca farm the best bits were when the goats jumped on your back In the barn, And when we held the rabbits, so calm.
Michelle Francis
On spotlight night we had a fright as someone turned off the light,
We had a bit of a run but could not get enough fun.
Connor Shaw
Down to Shelly Beach in the night to run away from the giant spotlight,
Felicity Korbosky
It was heaps of fun, the light as powerful as a gun.
Red faces night was great I reckon, Claire, Ciara, Jayma and I came second,
We got lollies for prizes in all tastes and sizes. Phillippa Lambert
The bus trip there was long,
But at least we got to sing many songs. Spotlight, spotlight I got a fright,
When my friend pushed me In front of the light.
Kieran Marston
Daniel Blenkinsop
We played fox holes on camp, unfortunately it was pretty damp,
We went from hole to hole, trying to reach the spotlight. At Stewart Island we caught some fish,
Which would have made a delicious dish. On Tuesday night we played spotlight while running away from the light,
Teachers stood around eating Turkish Delight. I shared a dorm With Miles, he shared lots of smiles,
Camp was really great, I miss sharing with my best mate.

We beach walked at Cosy Corner,
But it was so cold, that I needed to go in a sauna. On camp we caught a fish, it looked like a shiny dish.
When we were going to let it go, some people said NO! Red Faces was oh so long,
And Redmond Fosbery went GONG, GONG, GONG. Stuart Island reef had an enormous number of crabs, But I wouldn't put my hand in the water In case it gets grabbed.

Camp was fun and I spent most of the time under the sun,

Creativity is growing in our young minds. It starts as a small seed but blooms into beautiful flowers and encourages us to think of new and wonderful inventions to stop pollution and the other problems of this world. Assertiveness is becoming a key virtue in our lives as we learn to express our opinions freely, stand up for our By Rebecca Denford, Jayde Harding & Rebecca Senior beliefs and aim for our dreams.

Several organisations like St Vincent De Paul and other good causes are helping unfortunate people, drug addicts and those who can just make ends meet. They provide support, love and food and they also increase our awareness of those in need. By Dale Kennedy Environments around the world are being saved all the time. Animals are being released into their natural

At her happiest
Mrs Wmiams sharing
special moments w;th
junior School students.
Mrs Williams retired as Head af the Junior School at the end afTerm 2,2000. Mr Londan wrote a formal 'farewell' to Mrs Williams in College Quarterly issue 43. This article, in which Mrs Williams answers questions prepared by Columba committee members Patrick Beilby, Philip Castiglione, Jacob Doogue and James Harrison, gives the students and Mrs Wi/liams herself a chance to re~eet on a very important period in the life ofAll Saints' College Junior School while at the same time bidding...
~a\eWeff
te
W\~ v'liffia~ What did you do before you came to
All Saints'. and what made you
choose ASC? Before I came to ASC I was teaching at Willetton Primary School. I had been with the Education Department for nearly four years, but I had always wanted to work in an independent school where importance is placed on all aspects of a student's devel opment. I believed the challenge of helping to found a new independent coeducational Anglican College would be a fantastic opportunity, and one that comes to very few educators. What roles have you undertaken dur
ing your time at the College?
I began as the Year 7 classroom teacher and Head of O'Connor House and I was even tually promoted to Head of the Primary Department, which included Year 5 to Year 7. In 1992 I was made Acting Head of the junior School and I officially became the Head when the junior School opened in February 1993. What's the part of your work that
you've most enjoyed?
The most enjoyable part of my work has
been the children - either helping in the
classrooms, helping with chess. helping with student leadership or just simply being there to support and encourage all of their endeavours.
What have been the greatest changes to the College during your time here? The greatest changes have. in the main. been physical - just the enormous increase in the building programme. the increasingly sophisticated technology and facilities, the size of the staff and the development of the beautiful grounds. What has been your greatest chal lenge? The greatest challenge was the opportunity to help plan the junior School. which opened in 1993, and make sure that every thing was ready for the new students on their first day. The staff were superb and their real team effort ensured a smooth beginning. How has the College changed you as a person? Over my twenty years at the College I have learned how to be flexible and how to cope with change. I have learned to honour the strengths and talents of others, as well as developing a quiet confidence in myself as an educator. These sorts of qualities could have come out of any commitment within the education profession. but All Saints' is a special place and I have been allowed to grow in a very special way. Could you describe one of the most interesting people you've met at the College? I have met so many interesting people dur ing my time at the College - parents, stu dents and teachers - that I hesitate to name just one. However, one staff member who has made a lasting impression on me is Tom Rennick - one of nature's true gen tlemen.Tom goes about his job seeking nei ther recognition nor thanks, and he has never to my knowledge ever said a cross word about anybody. Tom has been utterly supportive of the junior School and his
lovely sense of humour always comes to the fore. even though he must have been sorely tempted to display at least some irri tation on occasions. He is a most kind and genuine person.
What plans do you have for the future? I plan to see much more of my family and to look after my husband, who is not retir ing yet. We both plan to spend more time at our lovely holiday home with family and friends. I am looking forward to pursuing many interests, physical, recreational and cultural. I am sure that I will also find something useful to do that will mean that I can contribute to the community. I have led a fulfilled and happy life and it is important. I think, to continue to help in some way, to make a difference. What hopes do you have for ASC? I hope that ASC goes from strength to strength. It is a time of change for the College, but I know that the ethos it has been built upon will continue to flourish and new ideas and new directions will make it one of the finest schools in this State. I will watch with interest and love all the new developments coming to fruition. I hope our students will eventually take their place in the wider community to make our world a better place for everyone.

From
the
Calumba Editor And that about wraps Calumba up for another year doesn't time fly. It seems like yesterday we were start ing our 2000 school year, with little idea of what was in store for us. Yet so much has happened since then most of which is contained within these very pages. It was a year filled with emotion, courage, effort, determi nation and, most of all, fun. A year of high achievement, fond farewe!ls and new beginnings. Although this is a time for reflection, it is also a time to look towards the future, a future with a new Principal, the Reverend Peter Laurence, who will surely lead the College to excellence as MrTony London has done so well for all these years; a future with a swimming pool, a Learning Centre and the option to do Year 13; a future in which ASC flourishes for another twenty years, then another twenty after that; a future with new staff, new students and new opportunities. To all the students we leave behind: enjoy yourselves while it lasts. School's not that bad. Oh, and study hard: you'll regret it when you don't. To all the leavers this year: good luck in whatever the future holds. Remember 'Carpe Diem' - seize the day. Live life and love it: we only get one go. Most of all,
remember the last immortal words of the Desiderata: 'With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a'beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy'. Go as far as your vision will let you see, and when you get there, you will always be able to see further. The making of Calumba took a different approach this year with a less exclusive and more expansive Editorial Committee.A huge thanks must go to this committee, which became more like a creative 'think-tank' with students from all years participating in discussions, deci sions and generally helping out in nearly everything you see here. The expertise of the Year 12s was harnes.sed this year with each person being given responsibility for a specific section of the magazine. With this in mind, special thanks must go to Scott Iriks, Viv Lister, Sheryn Cheah, Meagan Boyd and Amanda Patching. My two Deputy Editors, Sarah Hayter and Breony Alien, were exceptional this year in every aspect of Calumba from collages to proof-editing. Thank you for the support all your time and hard work has paid off. But most of all, thanks must go to Helen 'Mrs Columba' Renwick, whose tireless hard work and dedication has made Calumba what it is today. Lastly, I'd like to thank the entire teacher and student body. Thank you for having such a great time and leav ing us with such great memories to set in stone, in this, the twentieth and last edition of Calumba for the mil lennium. Michael Ballig

For what is said behind backs?
p
Seamus Heaney I cried in the darkness when I was appointed, anointed, shared
eucharistically with friends, family, opened myself to an unfolding
communal animus of expectation, like a surfer on a wave
that would never reach the shore.
Now the shoreline is in sight as I paddle towards
the hazy horizon line.
I am conscious of those
who rode the waves along with me, screamed exultantly,
suffered the cold and the privations of the mass never-ending ride,
wooshing through confidently on the rolling bubbling future
that all so quickly came into focus.
I am conscious of those who dragged on my board and my legs,
like limp broad-leaved seaweed, impeding the way,
or those paddlers, their backs to the shore, who
would watch, never riding the wave, those who
simply waited on the shore, ever censorious,
circling dry land dorsal fins.
I am conscious of those young ones whom we have encouraged
along the waves, nurtured them alongside
until they have found their own waves,
leaving us naturally in their creaming buoyant wake.
I am conscious of my own landfall where I can rest
easy on the beach, gather my breath before paddling out
in search of my new bombora.
There is always the promise of a new ride
in the flinks of white breaking neatly in the distance.
Before then I will probably cry once more in the darkness
when I hit the reef of reality,
fighting the slipperiness of my board,
sand in my groin and the water getting colder.
