The dove is the traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, a messenger of good news or peace. It forms an integral part of the All Saints’ College crest and represents our commitment to the spiritual and ethical development of our students. The magazine title also links in with the College’s other major publication, the Columba yearbook, Columba being Latin for dove.

the Editor

It has been a school year unlike any other and now, partway through the final term, 2020 is almost over, to the relief of many! While there have been sadnesses for our community this year, we have also had much to celebrate at All Saints’ College. In this edition of The Dove, we reflect on All Saints’ @ Home – a period of online learning – and how we adapted to this unprecedented set of circumstances. The College returned to face-to-face learning in Week 3 of Term 2, and since that time much has taken place at Ewing Avenue.

In our 84th College magazine, we are pleased to be able to share these updates from the past six months. The structure of the publication remains separated into the five goals (Wellbeing, Learning,

F R O M T H E P R I N C I PA L

From the PRINCIPAL A warm welcome to our second edition of The Dove for 2020. Amidst the turmoil of a global pandemic, I am pleased to report that life at the College has progressed relatively normally since we returned from our 17 days of All Saints @ Home in Semester 1. As well as celebrating much joy and success this year, our community has experienced the deepest of sadness. We remember and honour our much-loved Kayla and Manya – they gifted us all such happy memories of their kindness and their joyful and enthusiastic approach to life, which will live on forever in our hearts and minds. I reported in our last edition of The Dove that, due to COVID-19, a number of projects had been put on hold. I am pleased to report now that most have subsequently been re-activated and realised. We were delighted, for instance, to come together as a community to celebrate the official opening of Wudawurt (Noongar for Dragonfly), our Early Childhood Centre’s new playground, in a ceremony run by our youngest students (see Goal 5).

A Resting Mess (see Goal 4), and our Year 8 students’ usual Outdoor Learning Program (cancelled due to COVID-19) reemerged in a fun and educative new form on the College oval (see Goal 2). How wonderful it was, once restrictions lifted, to be able to again hold concerts and events to showcase our students’ talents. Live the Journey Dance Concert was one such event which brought joy to all (see Goal 1). And in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship realm (see Goal 3), much has also been achieved. We were particularly delighted to have our students partner with Microplastix to create and test a beach cleaner – making a positive difference in our world. So, while it has been the most unusual of years in many ways, there has also been a great sense of normality about life on campus for which we are grateful. I hope you enjoy reading this edition of The Dove which captures all that is life at ASC. Ms Belinda Provis Principal

for Kayla

ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE’S JUNIOR SCHOOL WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A SEA OF RAINBOW COLOURS, WITH STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS DONNING BRIGHT RIBBONS IN MEMORY OF OUR MUCH-LOVED YEAR 3 STUDENT, KAYLA SENJAYA.

THE DOVE

The fundraiser, inspired by Kayla’s classmate, Leonardo Di Latte, was an opportunity to honour the life of an energetic, kind and passionate student who brought so much joy to so many within the College community.

“Kayla’s memory will be forever present with us as a community and felt intensely by the Class of 2029. The rainbow day was beautiful and colourful, and a wonderful way to remember our dear Kayla,” she added.

It was also an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for HeartKids – a national not-forprofit organisation that supports 64 000 Australian children, teens and adults affected by congenital heart disease.

The WA State Manager of HeartKids, Ms Cecilia Donovan, thanked the College for its support of HeartKids and commended our fundraising efforts when she visited ASC to receive a cheque of $8 140.80, presented by Leonardo at a Junior School Assembly.

On Friday, 19 June, College community members were encouraged to wear rainbowcoloured ribbons (Kayla loved the colours of the rainbow) and bring a gold coin donation to put in our fundraising buckets for HeartKids. “In the saddest of times, we are inspired by the thoughtfulness, love and care of our staff and students,” said Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane.

“The College applauds Leonardo for his empathy and initiative, and thanks the community members who supported the HeartKids fundraiser,” said Ms Crane.

“ TOGETHER WITH HER PARENTS, EKA AND MICHAEL, WE HOPE TO FIND A SPECIAL WAY TO REMEMBER KAYLA ON OUR CAMPUS AND KEEP HER MEMORY ALIVE AT ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE.”

An intelligent, passionate, artistic and vivacious member of our Class of 2022, Manya Texler was a unique personality with an enviable distinctive head of curly blonde hair. Manya lived and loved life, and was such a joyful addition to our College community. While devasted from this significant loss, members of our College community, along with Manya’s friends and family, celebrated the life of this remarkable young woman during a dedication ceremony at All Saints’ in August.

Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, was honoured to speak about Manya on behalf of the College and recalled the first day she met her and her family during her enrolment interview towards the end of February 2014.

a Gene Simmons costume (The Demon from KISS) from cardboard, duct tape and some old black clothes. It took her three weeks to complete the costume that she said was the “coolest costume ever”.

“Manya told me at that meeting about her much-loved little sister Eva, who was eight at the time. She also told me about how she loved drawing in her spare time, so it wasn’t surprising that when asked what her favourite subject at school was, Manya told me it was Art,” said Ms Provis.

“Manya found her passions and, importantly, she found her tribe here at school – her friends at ASC who couldn’t help but love all that she was and all that she brought to their lives, to all our lives,” said Ms Provis.

During her time at ASC, Manya embraced all that was on offer, discovering and actively pursuing her passions for art, languages and music. Music absorbed much of her life; she played the Drums and French Horn, and was in four bands at the College. Another of Manya’s passions she so enthusiastically and happily pursued was Art, and one of her favourite bands was KISS. She was very proud of one of her recent projects – creating

“Her life has been a bright and joy-filled experience for all of us to share in, and her lessons to us have been gratefully received, and will be treasured. We thank Michael and Susan and Eva for sharing their Manya with us,” said Ms Provis. Manya’s tree, as well as her ‘In Memoriam’ brick in our Old Saints’ Walk, will serve as daily reminders to us all of the joy she brought to our College, our community and our lives. She will always live on in our hearts, thoughts and memories.

Reflecting on All Saints’ @ Home

IN LATE MARCH, WITH THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK RAPIDLY SPREADING ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND THE WORLD, THE COLLEGE MADE THE DECISION (IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES) TO TRANSITION TO A PERIOD OF ONLINE LEARNING. When we embarked on All Saints’ @ Home (AS@H), we were uncertain how long this new phase of learning would last. The College, however, was well placed during this unsettling time to continue providing our core services, focusing on the wellbeing of our students while continuing our teaching and learning programs. In the months and weeks leading up to our move to AS@H, our College staff, guided by the Leadership Team, prepared for the possible short-term or longer-term closure of all schools. Behind the scenes, our ICT staff developed an ASC Home Learning website, while our teaching staff were restructuring timetables and courses, and developing learning materials, so that students could still enjoy an engaging curriculum online. On Friday, 27 March 2020, our ASC community entered uncharted and unprecedented territory, moving to an online teaching and wellbeing model. While there was the odd teething problem or technical issue, the first day of AS@H was a wonderful success as a result of the ‘can-do’ attitude and open mindset of our community.

THE DOVE

ALL SAINTS’ @ HOME

Most students accessed the AS@H model from home. However, as the College was committed to supporting all families, those students whose parents are essential workers, or who did not have the option to work from home, took part in their sociallydistanced learning on campus, under the supervision of ASC staff. Students settled into their new learning environments (whether at home or on campus), video conference calls were the ‘new normal’, and we all quickly became experts in using Microsoft Teams, OneNote and Seesaw. Before we knew it, Term 1 and Phase 1 of AS@H had concluded. The April school holidays provided time for the College to plan for the second phase of AS@H. Taking into account ongoing research, feedback from the community and the Phase 1 successes and learnings, the online learning model was adapted for Phase 2. As we were about to begin the new term and Phase 2 of AS@H, the good news about our gradually flattening curve in Western Australia in late April meant that our return to campus life could happen sooner rather than later.

Through a phased approach to returning to on-campus learning, Year 12s were invited to access the AS@H timetable and delivery in a classroom setting from the middle of Week 1. This increased the Year 12s’ face-to-face access to teachers, to facilitate their peerto-peer teaching, and to continue to support their esprit de corps, which we know is so important for them in their final year at ASC. The following week, our Year 11 cohort was invited on campus for the opportunity to engage with teachers and complete some assessments; Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten students also returned for half-day on-campus experiences. After 17 days (which felt like an eternity for some), at the beginning of Week 3, we were delighted to return to face-to-face learning with all students and staff at Ewing Avenue. Together we made it through this uncertain period, always remembering to choose joy, as our Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, reminded us in Henri Nouwen’s words: “Joy doesn’t simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” On the following pages, you will read some stories of our AS@H experience.

Cocurricular moves

your Pet Day!

During the AS@H period, our students and staff enjoyed the support of their furry and feathery companions. We received many photos of our students’ pets enjoying AS@H, so we decided to make Tuesday ‘Share your Pet Day’. It was exciting to see how many unique pets we have in our ASC community!

Online

While some cocurricular programs were suspended during AS@H (as they require face-to-face interaction), a number of groups across the Junior and Senior School remained connected during the period of isolation. Our Music Department shifted tuition online for all instruments from Kindergarten to Year 12 during AS@H. Our Music Tutors moved lessons with their students online so they could continue to develop their knowledge and musical ability. The senior cocurricular Robotics teams continued to program, test and build their robots from home with mentors and teammates only a message or call away. While the Senior School Publications Committee produced stories for Gnala*: All Saints’ College Student Newsletter to keep our students connected during isolation. A new online STEM-themed cocurricular club was launched for PrePrimary to Year 7 with weekly creative challenges for students to complete individually or with their families in their own time.

Our focus on

Wellbeing As part of our commitment to student wellbeing, mental and physical health was never more important than during AS@H. Our Health and Physical Education staff adapted their teaching methods to include online fitness, yoga and mindfulness sessions, encouraging students to take a break away from their workstations and keep their bodies active during AS@H. Junior School students created obstacle courses in their backyards, and the Year 2s created mindfulness videos which incorporated breathing exercises and yoga poses. Our Senior School Tutor Groups remained a time for students to connect with their peers. A Scavenger Hunt challenged each Tutor Group to come together virtually and complete a list of activities with photographic evidence. Students were encouraged to support their parents’ wellbeing during COVID-19 by lending a hand around the home with various duties such as cleaning and gardening. They submitted photographs and videos to the College for a competition, with two students winning an Eco Spray mop for their parents, thanks to our partners at Godfreys in Booragoon.

ALL SAINTS’ @ HOME

With the traditional half- and fullday workshops not able to take place in April, the College’s School Holiday Program was remodelled, providing an experience that could be enjoyed entirely at home. In April 2020, the Program needed to be adapted to find a new way to deliver engaging and fun activities for young people, while COVID-19 restrictions were in place and families were required to stay at home. Instead of conducting activities on campus, activity packs (Bags of Fun) were delivered to participants’ homes, and workshop facilitators led online sessions to bring everyone together for a fun and easy-tounderstand demonstration.

From juggling and hula hooping to Minecraft, cupcake decorating and bath bomb making, the packages contained all the equipment and instructions needed. DIY Kits designed for self-learning and discovery were offered, as well as two Move Your Body active sessions led by ASC Health and Physical Education staff. The popularity of the Bags of Fun extended into the July school holidays and remained a large part of the newly revamped program. The July School Holiday Program offered three onsite workshop days, as well as several Bags of Fun, suitable for various ages and to be enjoyed at an individual’s own pace. To learn more about our School Holiday Program, visit www.allsaints.wa.edu.au

Making a difference amidst the pandemic With the coronavirus pandemic forcing All Saints’ to suspend fully embedded programs earlier this year, Head of Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise Mr Scott Corbett, swiftly developed creative ways for our students, staff and

families to continue serving with their heads, hearts and hands. Four new programs (detailed below) were launched during the pandemic to support All Saints’ families and the College’s partner organisations.

ADOPT A FRIEND

The Adopt a Friend program involves All Saints’ families connecting with elderly residents from Amana Living and the Royal Australian Air Force Association (RAAFA) Memorial Estate through emails, phone conversations, letters and care packages.

FOOD FRIENDZY

Backyard outdoor learning

Before the April school holidays began, Mr Jason Zaurs, ASC Head of Outdoor Learning, created some engaging videos designed to encourage College families to make the most of their backyards during the break. Several ASC students took up the challenge, including Sam Duminski (Pre-Primary) who went fishing at the river and camped in his backyard. Siblings Juliet (Year 3) and Lincoln Gray (Year 2) pitched a tent (complete with a disco ball) in their backyard and created homemade binoculars to explore the garden. College staff were also inspired to spend some time outdoors with their families over the holidays.

Run in partnership with the Parents and Friends’ Society, the Food Friendzy program sees community members in their homes cooking meals for people living with homelessness, freezing the meals and delivering them to ASC for The Salvation Army to distribute.

HELP EACH OTHER

Recognising that some College families may be finding themselves in difficult situations due to the rapid changes in the economy, the Help Each Other initiative provides assistance to community members should they need it (for example, with hampers of food items).

PRATYeK

Community members have been encouraged (if they are able) to support our global partner in India, PRATYeK, as they work to supply essential food and hygiene products to students and families whose living conditions are extremely compromised at this time.

AS PERTH’S ONLY MOBILE YOUTH HOMELESSNESS SERVICE, ANGLICARE WA’S STREET CONNECT AIMS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS SPEND ON THE STREETS, WITH A TEAM OF YOUTH WORKERS PROVIDING DAILY OUTREACH FROM THEIR DISTINCTIVE AND COLOURFUL BUS. Over many years, the College has developed a strong partnership with Anglicare WA through our Service Learning program run by Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise. Each year, a group of Year 10 students, selected as Anglicare Ambassadors, helps to raise awareness of Anglicare WA’s Street Connect within our community and fundraise in a number of ways for the program. Our students participate in the annual Anglicare WA School Sleep Out event which aims to help young people gain a deeper understanding of the issues faced by those who are homeless, as well as raise much-needed funds for Street Connect. In 2020, the Sleep Out was run differently, due to COVID-19 restrictions, with school teams

encouraged to sleep out at their respective campuses on Friday, 7 August. Fifty All Saints’ students and five teachers took part in this year’s event, swapping their warm beds for the hard floor of the tennis courts at ASC. During the event, our ASC team was able to join Anglicare WA’s live stream and the modified ‘Homelessness Simulation’ which took place throughout the evening. Over $19 900 was raised by our students, positioning the College as the top school fundraising team, with Zakaria Ebrahim (Year 11) collecting the largest amount of $3 340. Head of Catalyst, Mr Scott Corbett, said the Sleep Out is an excellent opportunity for students to experience homelessness firsthand.

“There is a growing number of young people living with homelessness in WA and while the School Sleep Out is a mild simulation of the challenges these people face, it does highlight to students the many privileges they take for granted,” said Mr Corbett.

“Street Connect provides incredible support to some of the most vulnerable young people in our state, and the program completely relies on donations to operate, which is why the College is proud to continue to support this program,” he added.

CONSTABLE CARE VISITS ASC During Term 1 this year, our Junior School students were visited by Constable Care to learn about personal and community safety. The students, from Pre-Primary to Year 6, engaged with the entertaining performances and puppet shows that showcased real-life scenarios in which students could find themselves and the different possible outcomes of actions taken. Tailored to each year group, the performances explored various topics, including road safety, basic first aid, online behaviour, bullying and inclusion, and the difference between ‘fun scary’ and ‘unsafe scary’.

The interactive shows allowed students to join in, demonstrating their learning in quizzes at the end of the incursions. Several Year 5 students even became actors in one of the performances! The Constable Care Child Safety Foundation aims to help keep young people safe from harm through theatre-in-education and community programs. Addressing a range of personal safety, community safety and harm prevention themes, the Constable Care Foundation challenges and educates young people to make respectful and empathetic decisions.

THE BLUE TREE PROJECT issues and spread the message that ‘It’s ok not to be ok’. This initiative was introduced to our Junior School by Kindergarten teacher, Mrs Sarah Alfano, who recognises the importance of young people understanding their own wellbeing, as well as how others are feeling.

THE DOVE

Earlier this year, our Kindergarten students and staff joined the nationwide Blue Tree Project movement by painting a large outdoor tree (donated by the College’s Grounds Department) in a distinctive shade of blue.

“By helping the children to recognise how they are feeling and giving them the tools to express their emotions, they can develop strategies for self-regulation, build a sense of wellbeing and create foundations for building positive relationships with others,” said Mrs Alfano.

The Kindergarten blue tree is one of more than 500 blue trees popping up around the country as part of the campaign which encourages people to speak up when battling mental health

“The Blue Tree Project encourages us to look out for each other. It is what we do when we don’t feel ok that can have a significant impact on ourselves and others,” she added.

GOAL 1

In addition to their outdoor tree, both Kindergarten classes also created smaller indoor blue trees which they named ‘Cheer-up Trees’ featuring heart cut-outs with the students’ faces and ways they can help friends who may be feeling a bit sad or blue. Our Kindergarten classes are continuing to spread the Blue Tree Project message throughout the College in a number of ways, including random acts of kindness. They also teamed up with some Senior School students to paint another blue tree for our campus during the Senior School Wellbeing Day in early Term 4, which coincided with WA Mental Health Week (10–17 October).

Blessings IN A BAG

OUR YEAR 2 STUDENTS HAVE MADE A MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS BY PROVIDING SUPPORT TO THE HOMELESS IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY THROUGH THE COLLEGE’S CATALYST: CENTRE FOR SERVICE AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE ‘BLESSING BAGS’ PROGRAM. With links to the curriculum, this program allows our Junior School students to learn about health decisions and behaviours while developing a greater understanding of the difficulties faced by the homeless. The Year 2 classes considered the types of products that could help enable people who are homeless to maintain a healthy level of personal hygiene, and then encouraged other students from across the Early Childhood Centre to donate the items. For the first time, a donation drive for hygiene products also took place in the Senior School, thanks to the collective effort of a group of Year 8 students – Emma Douglas, Phoebe Jarvis, Hayley Kleyweg and Olivia Sibly – who were helping to expand the program through their InnovatED course. The Year 8s

also organised a Crazy Sock Fundraiser Day in the Junior School during the term to raise more funds for The Salvation Army. With hundreds of hygiene products donated by the Junior School and Senior School communities, the Year 8 students and Year 2 classes came together to assemble the ‘Blessing Bags’ in Term 3. The students packed more than 300 bags, which were distributed to Salvation Army clients. The week after packing the Blessing Bags, a staff member from The Salvation Army visited Year 2 to speak with the students during their Religion and Philosophy class about how the ‘Blessing Bags’ were distributed, emphasising the effect they will have on the lives of the homeless.

While the Council’s plans were interrupted due to COVID-19, they were delighted to commence Fridays on The Common with a bang at the start of Term 3. A crowd of students was drawn to The Common to watch an impressive display of speed eating. Several Year 12s, Mr Damien Stevens (Year 11–13 Coordinator / Health and Physical Education teacher) and Mr Mitch Jamieson (Year 7 teacher) participated in a Watermelon Eating Competition. In the end, Mr Stevens came out on top as the fastest competitor.

Fridays on The Common activities have been an excellent way to bring together our Senior School community to enjoy some entertainment at the end of an eventful week at the College.

ERNIE DINGO MENTORS INDIGENOUS STUDENTS This year, we welcomed Indigenous actor and television personality, Yamatji man Ernie Dingo, to support and mentor our Indigenous Scholarship students. During the course of several visits, Ernie and the students celebrated their Indigenous culture, shared moments of quiet reflection, and engaged in cultural growth and connection.

Through such mentorships and opportunities to speak to local people from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the College aims to support the cultural enrichment needs of Indigenous students. Acknowledging and celebrating the diversity of our students, the College provides all our students with greater awareness of Indigenous culture.

COUNCIL'S THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS Our Year 12 Student Council demonstrated their leadership and the College’s Values of ERIC (Empathy, Respect, Integrity and Courage) when they organised and created special hampers and cards for the frontline workers at Fiona Stanley Hospital (FSH) in Term 2. During a meeting on Microsoft Teams, the Council decided that although the pandemic had postponed many of their plans, it did however allow them to organise something to help others beyond the College community. The Council put a call out to the Class of 2020 for donations of quality items, such as pantry staples, tea, coffee, chocolate treats, candles and more. Several Year 12s then came

together (with appropriate social distancing) to compile more than a dozen exquisite hampers for the hard-working FSH staff. “We decided to donate the hampers to the frontline workers because we felt so much gratitude towards the people who were risking their lives to help others during these challenging times. We wanted to respond to the situation around us at the time,” said Year 12 College Captain Tenayh Powell. Tenayh and fellow College Captain, James Lund, joined Mr Scott Corbett (Head of Catalyst: Centre for Service and Social Enterprise) to hand-deliver the gifts at FSH, accepted on the hospital’s behalf by Clinical Nurse Allyce.

The care packages were distributed amongst the hospital’s health care workers (Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health and other staff members), and the handwritten cards were proudly displayed in the main concourse of the facility.

Under the expert guidance of Mr Paul Green (Head of Transition), the students explore juggling, acrobatics, baton twirling and diabolo, build human pyramids and practise stilt walking and unicycling in a responsive and supportive environment. With over 20 enthusiastic students currently enrolled, the Club develops the students’ physical wellbeing as well as improving their confidence and ability to connect with others from various year groups. The students collaborate as a team, needing not only to trust and support one another for safety, but also to create a resilient and united circus troupe. The collaborative nature of the Club has allowed students’ interest in circus skills to develop into passions and hobbies they practise at home. During All Saints’ @ Home, the Circus Club was not able to meet in person. However, the students continued to practise tricks, and shared tips with one another, remaining connected and staying active.

Year 8 student, Sashana Burling, has been part of the Club for the past two years after ‘getting a taste’ of the exciting offerings at the 2019 Cocurricular Fair. “My favourite aspect of Circus Club is how every skill, trick and stunt involves teamwork, because without the whole team, the stunt doesn’t look the same,” Sashana said. “During the COVID-19 quarantine, I missed Circus, but I found my hula hoop and was able to practise tricks with the encouragement of the team – I can now spin more than 20 hoops on my waist at one time!” The College is pleased to offer more than 100 cocurricular opportunities across the Junior and Senior Schools for our students to extend their learning and enhance their wellbeing. All our diverse cocurricular programs are listed on MyASC under the cocurricular tab.

JOINS OUR ROWING FLEET All Saints’ College’s Rowing Club, one of ASC’s longest-running cocurricular groups, celebrated another milestone this year – adding a ninth sculling boat to our fleet of ASC-owned rowing boats. The new addition, named Akari (a Japanese word meaning light, light-hearted), was ceremonially christened by College Principal, Ms Belinda Provis, in midAugust, with student rowers, parents and our club coaches in attendance at the special event. In her christening speech, Ms Provis acknowledged the many community members who helped make Akari a reality. “The parents who helped last year and this year with fundraising – you really are the backbone of rowing at ASC,” said Ms Provis. “I’d like to thank Mr Greg Haig who helped to organise the

name and the ceremony. Greg is a stalwart of ASC Rowing,” she added. “Thank you also to Mrs Joanne Boserio (Rowing Club Coordinator and Coach). Absolutely none of this would even have been imagined for our College without you, and we cannot thank you enough for all you do for Rowing for our students and for ASC,” she said. “We acknowledge our students’ ongoing commitment to and enthusiasm for rowing at ASC, and we wish our new boat Akari – and rowers – smooth sailing and calm waters.” With a turbulent year disrupting normal competition, Rowing WA regattas were rescheduled to Term 3, and we were delighted to see our students hit the water again in the College’s 21st competitive regatta season.

Heatley Boys KNOWN AS THE ‘HEATLEY BOYS’ IN THE WAKEBOARDING COMMUNITY, BROTHERS JAKE (YEAR 7), BEN (YEAR 10) AND TOM HEATLEY (CLASS OF 2019) HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR SKILLS IN THE DYNAMIC WATER SPORT AND EARNED HIGH RANKINGS IN THEIR AGE DIVISIONS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

MAKING WAVES

Inheriting a passion for wakeboarding from their father, Brett Heatley (Class of 1992), Jake, Ben and Tom instantly took to the sport and developed their ability well beyond any expectations. Now ranked in the top three riders in Australia for their respective age divisions and sponsored by wakeboard and apparel companies, the boys live and breathe wakeboarding. In March this year, the boys travelled to New South Wales for the Australian National Boardstock Cable Wakeboarding Series to compete in three rounds over consecutive weekends for the fourth time. The Boardstock Wakeboarding Series is the longest-running professional wakeboard contest in Australia and incorporates unique and traditional contest formats. Jake, Ben and Tom joined riders of all ages and levels from different

backgrounds, and competed alongside the sport’s top athletes. Beginning in Penrith, New South Wales, the boys all achieved second place after the first day’s ‘King of the Kicker’ event which scores riders on their best trick and technique over a jump. On the second day, Jake won Third Place in the Under 13s ‘Rail Jam’ and Ben took out First Place in the Under 17s ‘Rail Jam’ – a timed event consisting of a series of obstacle lines. Unfortunately, the remaining two weekends of competition were cancelled due to COVID-19. Nevertheless, the Heatley Boys continue to ride almost every day, urged on by their love for the sport and look forward to future competitions.

What activities did you undertake to achieve your Silver Award?

What activities did you undertake to achieve your Bronze Award?

For Skills I used my involvement in the College Production Grease; for Service, I volunteered for Disabled Surfers Association and at a local youth group; and for Physical Recreation, I played AFL for my local team. To qualify for the Adventurous Journey, I went to Bluff Knoll as part of the Year 10 Outdoor Learning Program, as well as completed the Bibbulmun Track.

I selected umpiring and refereeing for my Skill, general athletics for my Sport, helping and befriending the elderly for my Service, and my school camp to Bluff Knoll for my Adventure.

GOAL 1

In what ways has the program enabled you to broaden your skills? This program has allowed me to broaden my skills in new areas of interest, and has also helped me to develop skills in existing areas. For example, I had the opportunity to develop my social and conversational skills through my visits to the Royal Australian Air Force Association. I found this was a great way to practise talking to and helping the elderly, a skill which I would not normally acquire from my daily activities.

The categories I had to fulfil included Sport, Service and Skill. I found that I could meet the requirements for each section via the activities I was already participating in. In what ways has the program enabled you to broaden your skills? The program helped me to stay committed to my activities in order to ensure that I met the requirements of the three categories. This meant that I developed a higher level of commitment and gained skills in all areas.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, open to individuals aged between 14 and 24, provides a platform for personal growth and achievement through skill development, physical recreation and service to the community. In each level of the Award (Bronze, Silver and Gold), participants must complete tasks which fulfil four categories: Voluntary Service, Skills, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey. Activities within each category can be adapted to suit one’s own interests and abilities. The program is recognised internationally by employers, academics, and leading universities and institutions.

What activities did you undertake to achieve your Silver Award?

To complete the award, I worked in the areas of Choreography, Netball, working with people with disabilities (through the Nulsen Group program and the Disabled Surfers Association) and Hiking. I tailored the award towards my interest in Performing Arts and Service. I took on many of the activities because I love them; not just for the award.

For Skills, I used the piano lessons I took part in as well as the occasional guitar session. For Physical Recreation, I used swimming and sailing. I used a College camp and a hike for Adventurous Journey, and various College Service activities, for the Service section.

In what ways has the program enabled you to broaden your skills? The program has enabled me to broaden my skills by specialising in a variety of activities. Through the program, I have given back to the community more than ever before.

In what ways has the program enabled you to broaden your skills? Keeping track of all my activities and staying in contact with my assessors proved challenging, but it helped me develop my organisational skills and gain self-confidence. I also feel more well-rounded after completing the Bronze and Silver Awards.

Jessica Tregilles - Year 12 What activities did you undertake to achieve your Silver Award? For service, I coached a Year 8/9 boys All Saints’ Basketball team each week. Skill-wise, I pursued a hobby I enjoyed in my spare time – drawing. Sport-wise, I played Basketball every week and went for two runs as well. For the Adventurous Journey component, I was able to use two school camps – both experiences were incredible and allowed me to face once-in-a-lifetime challenges with amazing people. In what ways has the program enabled you to broaden your skills? This program fitted in with my regular routine of Service and Physical Recreation. I generally don’t set time aside for activities such as drawing, however the program gave me a reason to sit down and focus, enabling me to try new ways of sketching, such as using charcoal and blending.

After an extensive nomination and selection process, Ms Lockyer and Mr Port were selected in this year’s national ‘Hot List’, comprising 75 professionals who have made a significant contribution to the K–12 education space over the past 12 months. Based in Nexus-J, the College’s Junior School Library, Ms Lockyer was nominated for her work in launching online cocurricular opportunities during the peak of COVID-19, and the development of a ‘tech-lending library’ where minirobots and science kits were sent home. She was also nominated for her work in helping teachers to present geography lessons in culturally responsive ways, where students learnt to develop an Indigenous Languages app. ”I am driven by the idea that we are all part of one connected family at All Saints’. Working with

our parents in support of their child’s learning is very important to me,” she said. “This provides a more meaningful learning experience and a better outcome for all of the family. I love being able to support the work of the classroom teacher in my role. Innovation in education happens at the coalface, and classroom teachers need the right on-thespot support to flourish.” Mr Port, who works out of Nexus-S, the College’s Senior School Library, was recognised for his vision and leadership during COVID-19 in the delivery of online solutions for the entire community. He said that being nominated by his peers was humbling. “The simple rewards every day of helping staff to achieve their goals, or create a better workflow, or provide more agency for students in their learning (and a myriad other things) are reward enough. Being recognised outside your school community is rare and gratifying. I am thankful for the staff who support me and provide the culture and positive environment that allows my work to thrive,” he said.

ASC SHORTLISTED FOR TWO NATIONAL AWARDS All Saints’ College has again been recognised as one of the country’s leading independent schools after being shortlisted by the Australian Education Awards Committee in its national awards for the second consecutive year. We are delighted that ASC is a national finalist in the categories of ‘Secondary School of the Year – Non-government’ and ‘Best School Strategic Plan’ for this year’s Australian Education Awards.

UT PIA

FOR TWO PERIODS A WEEK IN TERM 3, OUR YEAR 7 COHORT CAME TOGETHER FOR PROJECT UTOPIA, A WHOLE OF TERM CROSS-CURRICULUM PROJECT WHICH SAW THE STUDENTS DEVELOP THEIR OWN VERSION OF A UTOPIAN CITY THAT ADHERED TO THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

Before the project began, the Year 7s were introduced to the concept of utopian and dystopian societies through their English text The Giver. This laid the foundation for the students to incorporate concepts from HASS and Science to begin Project Utopia the following term. During their InnovatED classes, students worked in small groups to plan, develop and construct their utopias—either as a physical model or digital design. Drawing on elements from Science, English, and HASS, students also had to use their collaboration and design-thinking skills to thoroughly develop each part of their utopia. The future-focused students identified several of the UN

THE DOVE

GOAL 2

Sustainable Development Goals and highlighted the practical ways in which their utopias could help achieve them, including Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education, Affordable and Clean Energy, and Reduced Inequality. Each group worked towards gaining Accreditation of the Sustainable Development Goals by demonstrating how they were displayed in their utopia. Throughout the project, students had to consider through reflection and questioning how they were achieving the All Saints’ College Capabilities, such as creativity, organisation, collaboration, ethics, and problem-solving. Each week industry professionals were invited to ask questions of the students and provide input into their decision making to ground it in the ‘real world’. As a result of this invaluable and rich learning experience, the Year 7s gained a deeper understanding about the real-world implications for their utopias.

The project concluded with a showcase at the end of Term 3 at which the students presented their final utopias to family members, staff and special guests, explaining their process and learning. We sincerely thank the guests who volunteered their time and expertise to support our students in Term 3.

YEAR 7 STUDENT REFLECTIONS My favourite part of the project was talking to the experts that came and learning new things about our community. This helped me broaden my knowledge.

GATEWAY PATHWAY: Alexander Clarke (Year 12) IN OUR QUEST TO PROVIDE A DYNAMIC AND FUTURE-FOCUSED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE HAS ADOPTED AN ATARPLUS APPROACH, OFFERING MANY DIFFERENT PATHWAYS FOR OUR DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION, IN ADDITION TO ATAR (AUSTRALIAN TERTIARY ADMISSION RANK).

While we continue to support and encourage students whose goal is to achieve their highest possible ATAR, the College also caters for those who wish to pursue a Gateway pathway. Year 11 and 12 students who are completing Gateway pathways can select a combination of five General / ATAR Courses or study fewer than five courses and complete a minimum Certificate II. Deciding upon the Gateway pathway was an easy choice for Alexander, who has always been a hands-on learner and wanted to explore different opportunities for a career in aviation.

“The knowledge I gained while completing my Certificate was very wide ranging,” Alexander said. “I am able to apply this learning in many different areas, both in and outside school.” Alongside obtaining his Helicopter Pilot’s Licence this year, Alexander balances his schoolwork in Integrated Science General, English General, Mathematics Essentials General and Outdoor Education General.

“The College has been very supportive with my Gateway pathway, as they have provided me with days off campus to complete my learning, and allowed me flexible study periods and access to teachers who are very willing to help,” he said. After graduating from All Saints’ College this year, Alexander hopes to gain an aircraft engineering apprenticeship with Heliwest to further his experience and open the door to more exciting opportunities.

After studying a Certificate II Pre-apprenticeship in Aerospace Engineering last year, Alexander is currently completing his Commercial Helicopter Pilot’s Licence with Heliwest, providing him with a head start in his career. Alexander studies off campus at Heliwest and enjoys the industry experience he acquires, as he believes it solidifies his learning.

As part of the Djaaliny program, Paul presented to the Year 7 and 8 cohorts during the day, and parents and guardians in the evening. His engaging presentations focused on educating our community on the risks associated with the online world, including social networking sites.

“All Saints’ culture, ethos and student behaviour would clearly be in my top five schools! Might I add, I am presenting to almost 500 schools across the country, including some of our most prestigious colleges. The number of students who say ‘hi’ as I walk through All Saints’ and then engage during sessions in an honest and non-sterile way is humbling.

Year 8 Alternative OLP

PROVIDES RICH LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS PRESENTED BY COVID-19 MEANT THAT THE REGULAR YEAR 8 OUTDOOR LEARNING PROGRAM (OLP) WAS UNABLE TO TAKE PLACE THIS YEAR AT MORNINGTON ADVENTURE CAMP IN WOKALUP. The College still wanted to provide an outdoor experience for these students and allow them to develop stronger relationships with peers in their House and with their Head of House, so an ‘on campus’ alternative took place. During Weeks 7 and 8 of Term 2, each Year 8 House group took part in a half day of activities which offered opportunities for social interaction, physical and mental challenge, development of outdoor skills and immersion in the natural environment.

Venturing down to the College oval after lunch, each program began with an ‘Amazing OLP Race’, a team game, reflection and journal time. With the darkness of the night, students (in pairs) prepared and cooked a delicious gnocchi meal on Trangia Outdoor Stoves. After dinner, students sat in a circle around the glow of a campfire to reflect on the afternoon activities, listen to a story from College Chaplain, Rev Helen Corr, and enjoy their campfire baked bananas and chocolate.

Although it was not the program they had originally planned, our OLP staff (Mr Jason Zaurs, Head of Outdoor Learning and Mrs Katrina Goods (Class of 2007) and Mr Lewis Kinnear, Outdoor Learning teachers) did a marvellous job in developing an alternative experience for our Year 8 students, who undoubtedly learned new outdoor knowledge and skills, as well as developed stronger camaraderie within their House.

Mr Greg Port has taken on the hybrid role of Head of ICT Integration / Acting Head of

Library Services in 2020. Mr Port said Nexus is a hub of learning – both physically and digitally. “Far more than a physical move, we are creating a one-team approach to delivering excellent services to our students, in both print and digital formats,” said Mr Port. “Nexus provides students with greater opportunity to be exposed to the culture and values of ASC, and develop capabilities of collaboration, effective communication, organisation, creativity and curiosity,” added Mr Port.

SOME OF THE SERVICES AND NEW ADDITIONS OF NEXUS INCLUDE: • ASCTV: A new green screen space for creating movies, podcasts and instructional videos. • Oliver and Orbit: Catalogue systems for physical and digital resources in the Senior School. • STEM-lending library for families in Nexus-J. • Research Options: Resources available to the ASC community through online databases, research guides, referencing guide – all available through MyASC. • Tech Coaches (employed through The Agency) assist students and staff with queries before and after school, and during recess and lunch, to provide support or help to address basic technology issues. • ASCAnswers: An online database of FAQs for parents and students. • Green screen / Audio Recording Booth in Nexus-J.

AS PART OF ITS SCIENCE CURRICULUM, OUR YEAR 2C CLASS HAS BEEN ENJOYING A RICH LEARNING INQUIRY INTO LIFE CYCLES TO DEVELOP A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW LIVING THINGS GROW AND CHANGE OVER TIME. In Term 2, the class developed a garden bed outside their room to grow herbs, vegetables and fruit from seed and seedlings to observe the growth. As the students enjoyed the learning involved with growing their produce, they upgraded to a larger planter box to accommodate more herbs and vegetables towards the end of the term. “We currently have different types of kale, strawberries, parsley, mint and flowers to act as companion plants and bring the bees to our garden,” said Year 2 teacher, Miss Alicia Cuttone (Class of 2011). “This will be an ongoing project until the end of the

year, so we can experiment with different vegetables and herbs coming into different seasons and continue to observe our garden grow.” Year 2C has also been supporting the development of All Saints’ Sustainable Food Production, led by Miss Catherine Donnelly, Senior School Science teacher. The class has been helping raise seedlings to a size that can be transplanted into our on-site Aquaponics system. During Term 3, the Junior School students had an opportunity to visit the Aquaponics site and help transfer the coriander and spinach seedlings they had

grown into net pots that sit in a floating raft with their roots in the water. Currently, the Aquaponics system has two fish tanks with Rainbow Trout and Silver Perch, and four grow beds. The concept of the system utilises the waste produced by the fish to feed naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in the filter to fertilise the plants that are either in floating rafts or expanded clay. On the final day of Term 3, Year 2C enjoyed a healthy and delicious meal of fish, kale and broccoli, which was harvested from the College’s Aquaponics site by our Senior School students.

Through the Opportunities Program our students enjoy participating in a range of competitions each year suited to their individual interests and strengths and designed to extend their learning. Some of our Year 5 students were able to explore persuasive texts and the language of advertising by participating in this year’s ‘Design an Ad’ competition run by The West Australian ED! Magazine. In Term 2, working alongside Mrs Rebecca Blaxell (Junior School Opportunities teacher), the students began the project, which has integrated links to Humanities and Social Sciences, English and Media Arts.

“We started exploring advertisers and how they persuade consumers, and then the students collectively agreed they would like to put this knowledge to good use and have a go at designing an advert for the competition,” said Mrs Blaxell. The Year 5 students had an opportunity to select from a range of clients, including Cancer Council WA, Foodbank, RAC and Caltex, among others. Once they selected their client the students researched their organisation’s purpose, and learnt more about target audiences and advertising strategies, before examining the advertising brief and embarking on creating their own

advertisements. We were beyond thrilled to hear the news that two of our students, Nishaan Sunner and Sam Vallabhaneni (Year 5), were both winners in the Primary School category of the 2020 ‘Design an Ad’ competition with their advertisements (see above) for Caltex. Nishaan and Sam were acknowledged in The West Australian ED! Magazine special Design an Ad winners’ edition in August, and received certificates recognising their achievements as well as $100 prize gift cards.

Entrepreneur ‘SPOTLIGHT ON’ A passion for the environment inspired Year 4 student, Matilda Burke, to develop Matilda’s Containers for Change Collection. The business collects and recycles discarded cans and containers from cafés, pubs and restaurants to raise money for charity. Matilda launched her entrepreneurial initiative to coincide with the Containers for Change Collection program, launched in WA on 1 October 2020. This statewide project, aimed at increasing recycling and reducing the number of discarded drinking containers, allows community members to deposit their drinking containers at any refund point across WA for a 10-

cent refund per container.

Matilda’s Containers for Change Collection will collect containers for deposit from local businesses, with all funds raised donated to environmental charities. Matilda hopes that her business will incite positive environmental action in the community. “This project reaches many people: individuals like me collecting containers, businesses organising their containers to be collected and recycled, and community organisations and schools like ours that can organise collection and recycling in exchange for money”, said Matilda.

Matilda officially commenced collecting containers from businesses and sporting clubs in October. She has business cards, a uniform, protective gear and a folder of processes to present to local businesses and sporting clubs. She also has plans to host a competition in the Junior and Senior Schools to see who can collect the most containers for donation to her project.

NEW STUDENT-RUN SITE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS! Nexus-S, the newly merged Senior School Library and Technology Support Centre (TSC), recently launched a student-developed FAQ database, ASCAnswers, designed to provide the All Saints’ College community with answers to general, library and technology questions. Head of ICT Integration / Acting Head of Library Services, Mr Greg Port, said the site works to provide the community with answers to their questions in an online format with which they are familiar. “Rather than sending an email or making a phone call, people can quickly find answers to their

questions online,” said Mr Port. Tech Coaches (employed through ASC’s The Agency) Myles Keeffe and Ashley Lance (Year 11) led the student team behind the design and production of the database. “You can find a lot of tips on there already, as well as submit new questions to be answered by the Tech Team as soon as possible,” commented Ashley. “The students’ role in running the service is to answer incoming queries via email and the live chat questions,” said Mr Port.

“In this way, the website is not only a service to the ASC community, but also aligns with the College’s educational philosophy to empower students through authentic, real-world projects that encourage innovative thinking and challenge their problem-solving capabilities.”

Mr Port also added that the look and feel of the site, as well as the workflows, are all studentdesigned.

REAL WORLD LEARNING WITH THE AGENCY This year, we offered several new positions in The Agency, the College’s employment agency for current students. In a variety of roles, our Senior School students are encouraged to apply their passions, skills and talents in authentic contexts by undertaking various paid tasks at the College.

LOGO DESIGNER A Logo Designer was hired to design and deliver a digital logo to represent the merger of the Library and ICT Departments into Nexus. Alexandria Saunders (Year 12) worked with Head of ICT Integration / Acting Head of Library Services, Mr Greg Port, and Digital Content Curator, Miss Helena Tilley (Class of 2013), to develop and design the final logo. With her artistic eye and a goal to become a graphic designer,

Alexandria applied for the position to develop work-ready skills and leave a lasting impact on the College after she graduates. “I am passionate about design and thought this role would be an excellent opportunity to develop my design and communication skills, as well as to create my own legacy for the College as I have been at All Saints’ since Kindergarten,” Alexandria said.

SOUNDTRACK COMPOSERS On the path to becoming professional music composers, five Senior School students have been awarded paid contracts with the College to use their skills, knowledge and experience to create original soundtracks. Olivia Clinckers (Year 11), Matthias Gault (Year 12), Spencer Jones (Year 11), Aaron Ooi (Year 8) and Cameron Tsang (Year 12) were awarded the roles of Soundtrack Composers through The Agency. Working together with the Community Relations Department,

these students were employed to compose soundtracks using professional audio editing software for a range of new marketing and promotional videos of the College. Understanding the importance of evoking emotion and the key elements of harmony, melody and form, the student composers produced impressive original soundtracks in a set timeframe. Their musical compositions successfully enhanced the moving images and dialogue of the videos which feature on the College’s new external website.

INTERVIEW HOSTS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS To support the ever-growing history of our College, Interview Host and Videographer roles were offered to assist in the production of video interviews with former College Principals.

“I wanted to experience the reality of working in the Media industry with deadlines and quality expectations and I have learnt a lot about collaborating with colleagues and clients,” Fynn said.

Fynn Gardner (Year 12) and Chenelle Liyanage (Year 10) worked together as Videographer and Interview Host respectively, with direction from Heritage Coordinator, Mr John Beaverstock, to source, research and conduct a video interview with Rev Peter Laurence, ASC’s third Principal, for the College’s Archives and multiple platforms.

While Chenelle said she initially applied for the position to challenge herself, she gained more from the experience than she expected.

Developing strong conversational and interview skills and a greater understanding of reviewing work based on feedback, Chenelle and Fynn both found the experience highly beneficial.

“I learnt indispensable skills such as proactiveness, teamwork and having the courage to share ideas,” she explained. Holly Baker and Imogen Khinsoe (Year 11) were hired as the next Interview Host and Videographer, and met with the College’s second Principal, Mr Tony London, at the beginning of Term 4.

TECH COACHES One role currently on offer through The Agency is that of Tech Coach, extended to students aged 15 or older to work within Nexus. Those selected for this position demonstrate excellent technology skills and are eager to offer support to staff and students. Tech Coaches work in shifts before, during and after school on the Helpdesk, located at the entrance to Nexus-S. Responsibilities include processing enquiries efficiently, diagnosing and solving ICT issues, assisting with community events and activities, updating the College’s FAQ system, and offering direct classroom support to teachers, when required.

Tech Coach, Jacob Gray (Year 11) shares his Tech Tip: “My Tech Tip is that you should always use a password manager. Password managers allow you to use a long, complicated and unique password for each account you use whilst still only remembering one master password. This helps you secure your online life against hackers and cyber criminals. Some password managers you can use are LastPass, 1Password and Dashlane.”

The team discovered many successful aspects as well as parts that need revisiting and redesigning, which is the next step of the project. The initiative has seen Junior School and Senior School students work with each other, as well as with staff and members of the community, to bring the project to fruition and find innovative solutions to help make a positive difference in our world.

YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR TAKING LEAPS AND BOUNDS After immersing herself in the College’s culture of innovation (having started at All Saints’ this year), Erin Miller (Year 11) has now taken her entrepreneurial spirit one step further by being accepted into the TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) Program. TYE Program is a series of structured workshops over six weeks aimed at fostering budding entrepreneurs in Senior School years. This hands-on experiential program focuses on learning how to turn a good idea into a robust and successful business plan. In her business Yarn Farm WA (as featured in our ‘Entrepreneur Spotlight On’ in The Dove #83), Erin creates and sells a range

of clothing and homewares both online and at Runway, the College’s pop-up shop in Wanju Café. Erin was able to flex her ‘entrepreneurial muscles’ during the TYE program as she worked with a small group of other young entrepreneurs from around Australia to create a viable business idea and present a business model to a panel of experts at the end of the program. The workshops and mentor sessions covered topics such as conscious entrepreneurship, sales and marketing, finance, and powerful pitches. “I learnt a lot during the program and worked with some fantastic people bursting with creativity

En and curiosity. The mentors were very experienced and were able to offer plenty of great advice and tutoring,” Erin said. Recipient of an ASC 2020 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Scholarship, Erin said the Scholarship and her time at All Saints’ help to give her a deeper understanding of the mindset needed for a successful business. “The opportunities at the College helped prepare me to take on this challenging program and gave me the confidence to utilise my entrepreneurial skills,” Erin explained.

JUNIOR SCHOOL GIRLS’ TEAM TAKES OUT TOP SPOT IN TECH COMPETITION A team of five Junior School students – known as Girl Power – is the only West Australian winner in this year’s Techgirls Competition, securing two awards with their innovative phone app ‘Chicken Maths’.

The ASC team received the 2020 Techgirls Competition Western Australia Primary School prize, as well as the Jewella Award—a prize awarded by the CEO of Techgirls, Dr Jenine Beekhuyzen, for her personal favourite app.

Penelope Duff (Year 6), Aarya Khalate (Year 4), Sophia Clement (Year 4), Isabella Wallace (Year 4) and Juliet Gray (Year 3) – pictured left to right below – built their phone app to help young people learn Maths in a fun way at their ability level.

This is the third time an All Saints’ College team has won the WA Primary School Division in the Techgirls Competition, previously winning in 2017 and 2018. Junior School ICT Literacy Teacher, Ms Brette Lockyer, encouraged the students to enter the competition, and said it offers young girls the chance to push boundaries and uncover skills they did not know they possessed “While they worked cohesively, the students individually took

charge of elements such as interface design, coding, video scripting, app testing and video editing,” she added. The Techgirls Competition is a nationwide initiative that encourages girls to become confident and engaged in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The program also connects the student teams with female mentors working in the technology industry. Girl Power worked with Mrs Melanie Gray, BHP Systems Analyst, who provided invaluable advice in planning, consideration of the user interface and encouraging the team to keep things simple.

ASC FAMILIES REMAIN CONNECTED FOR OVER TWO DECADES All Saints’ College has always been proud of our close-knit community of parents, who share a unique connection as their children enjoy an educational journey together over many years. Through these shared connections, it is unsurprising that friendships are formed between College families. However, what is extraordinary is when these bonds last more than two decades, like one group of ASC families (the self-proclaimed ‘Amigos’) who first connected in 1997. What started as a mum’s weekly walk along the river after school

drop-off quickly evolved into much more for the Preedy, Burton, McLean, Lambert, Sharpe, Marks, Kerr and Miller clans. The ASC families started enjoying social family tennis days, dads’ weekly tennis nights, and birthday dinners. They even shared holidays together, first at Karri Valley and then further afield. Twenty-three years later, Mrs Lea Preedy – mother of Mrs Kaitlin Newing (2005) and Mrs Taryn Watson (2003) – says the Amigos are still the ‘dearest of friends’ and try to get together each week for a walk and chat.

“Now, the dads are more likely to enjoy monthly dinner catch-ups and golf games, rather than the weekly tennis games of the past. And our conversations revolve around grandchildren and ageing parents, rather than our kids’ school and university highs and lows,” said Mrs Preedy. “Every Christmas, when we gather for our annual Amigos’ celebrations, we reflect on how fortunate we are, that many years ago we decided to take those weekly walks. I know that my life is better because of these lovely friends.”

PARENT DOLLMAKERS TOUCH HEARTS AND BRING PLAY TO LIFE With their desire to give back to those less fortunate, members of the College community regularly gather in Wanju Café and create handmade dolls for South African children living in poverty. The group of College parents has been meeting since August last year to create dolls for the Uthando Project, a registered charity based in Western Australia. The project works in partnership with five nongovernment organisations in

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to support children who are among those most deeply affected by HIV/AIDS feel more secure and support them in play. Mrs Simona Deleanu, mother of Nicholas (Year 11), had previously been involved in the Uthando Project at Multicultural Futures (formerly Fremantle Multicultural Centre) and decided to develop a dollmaking group with the College community.

“It is a fulfilling experience; we are making a difference. The dolls we create bring so much joy to less fortunate children and have the power to change their lives,” said Mrs Deleanu. “I appreciate the support of the College and the opportunity to bring this meaningful project to ASC. I look forward to welcoming more creative hands to come together and make dolls,” she added.

HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT? The group meets every Wednesday morning around drop off time (8.30am) at Wanju Café in All Saints’ College’s Centre for Performing Arts. Those interested in joining the group are most welcome. No prior knitting or sewing experience is necessary.

COMMUNITY SPORT CONNECTING ASC OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS, ALL SAINTS’ COLLEGE’S BASKETBALL AND NETBALL CLUBS HAVE EVOLVED AND, AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY, CONTINUE TO REPRESENT THE COLLEGE IN LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS. Competing as one of 30 clubs at Fremantle Netball Association (FNA) and one of eight at Willetton Basketball Association (WBA), the clubs allow students to contribute to the wider sporting community and help foster a strong sense of belonging and purpose. Being one of only a few school-based sporting clubs competing in the Perth Associations, the ASC Netball and Basketball Clubs often compete against large, suburb-based clubs with extensive membership base and a long history. However, the inclusive and participationbased nature of the clubs also helps bring the All Saints’ College community together and strengthens connections between students and their peers, as well as between parents. As players for ASC Basketball and Netball Clubs must be current All Saints’ students, parents are encouraged to be coaches and team managers. The clubs are overseen by All Saints’ staff and connections are formed within the clubs that may not otherwise have emerged. This sense of community and inclusivity has increased over the years, which is testament to the development of the clubs. Established in 2013 by Transition Teacher, Mr Russ Haxby, and Health and Physical Education Teacher / Head of O’Connor House, Mr Oliver Beath (Class of 1998), the ASC Basketball Club was created

after identifying several students passionate about basketball. With nine teams competing in the first full season in 2014, the club grew quickly, and now over 30 teams currently play in the Summer 2020/2021 season. Developed with the support of enthusiastic parents and students, the Basketball Club has been an ever-growing community of like-minded and passionate individuals. Subsequently, the Netball Club (which already had a handful of teams participating in the FNA competition) was rebranded as the ASC Netball Club under Community Sport. The rapid growth of the College’s Community Sport program led to the creation of a Sport Administrator position in 2015 and more opportunities became available to students, including cricket.

Mr Haxby and Mr Beath believe the success of the Community Sport program is based on the collaborative development of the Netball and Basketball Clubs, which included staff, parent and student input, as well as the players’ and coaches’ enthusiasm and desire to remain a part of the tight-knit clubs.

What do you enjoy most about taking part in the Club?

What is the best piece of advice you’ve learnt while taking part in the ASC Running Club?

The warm-up jog around the oval. This is because you can socialise with your friends and catch up while you’re running. This is also a really good exercise because you take it at your own pace. Coach Alex tells us: “Always make sure to run at a pace that you can still talk to someone else”.

Alek Narozny Year 11 Do you have goals you would like to achieve with your running? I accomplished my biggest running goal by winning the Interhouse Cross Country for the first time back in 2018, but just missed out this year. So, my biggest goal at the moment is to get much faster to win it for the last time in 2021. I also love to see improvements in my time/pace, so I always aim to be bettering those as the months go by.

Year 12

Throughout my time, I have received some incredible feedback and advice from the coaches targeting my running technique and strategies for events. The best advice I learnt from the coaches was to change up your training each week – whether that’s the intensity you’re performing at or the session type – so you can continuously challenge yourself to develop as an athlete and stay motivated with drive and passion to continue.

In addition to the PFI, Suzanne and Frances run a registered training organisation, Pilates International Training Centre (PilatesITC), which offers a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction, Advanced Diploma of the Pilates Method, and other associated pathways. Limited regulation within the Pilates industry results in many non-accredited training courses which can fail to thoroughly teach the Pilates method or deliver up-to-date training. “I am extremely passionate about raising the bar within the Pilates industry in regard to education and standardisation for Pilates teachers,” Suzanne added.

The Pilates Fitness Institute is headquartered in Myaree and houses the PilatesITC Office and a holistic hub which includes a Naturopathy business, Remedial Massage Therapist, and a counselling service run by Old Saint Mrs Cressida Bell-Simmons (Class of 1996).

ECC PLAY SCULPTURE OFFICIALLY NAMED

WUDAWURT

SINCE CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED EARLIER THIS YEAR, OUR UPGRADED EARLY CHILDHOOD OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA (ECOLA) HAS BEEN EMBRACED BY PRE-PRIMARY AND YEAR 1. The main feature of our ECOLA is a sculpture made from a repurposed lemonscented tree trunk – created by artist, Mr Jahne Rees. The sculpture, formerly known as Swamp Monster, was renamed Wudawurt (Noongar for Dragonfly) during a special ceremony on Wednesday, 9 September 2020. Students, staff and special guests who contributed to the development of the ECOLA were welcomed to the event by our Early Childhood Centre (ECC) students. The Wadumbah Dance Group added to the celebration and honoured the connections of past, present and future of the land, and Rev Helen Corr (College Chaplain) blessed the learning area.

Wudawurt, with help from artist, Mr Rees, whom we were delighted to welcome to this event. Other special guests included architect and parent, Ms Hannah Galloway, who was instrumental in assisting with the construction of the space, Chair of the College Board, Mr Mark Stickells, and President of the ASC Parents and Friends’ Society (P&F), Mr John Levingston. “The upgraded ECOLA space provides the opportunity for students to feel safe and secure, yet also provides a vantage point for them to look beyond the boundaries of the College,” said Ms Crane. All Saints’ extends its gratitude to the P&F and College Foundation for their financial support to redevelop the space.

Dean of Junior School, Ms Penelope Crane, unveiled the name of the sculpture,

Our Early Years Child Care Vision:

Waabiny FOR SOME TIME, THE COLLEGE HAS BEEN EXPLORING AND RESEARCHING THE IDEA OF DEVELOPING ON CAMPUS A CHILDCARE CENTRE AS A SERVICE FOR STAFF AND FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN AGED BETWEEN THREE MONTHS AND FOUR YEARS. Our Waabiny vision is based on latest research, providing a play-based, nature-focused program that takes advantage of the College’s facilities and connected community. It is envisaged to be a high quality, intellectually-stimulating ‘home away from home’. With the working title of Waabiny (pronounced

waar-bin, a Noongar word meaning ‘play’), architectural firms have been invited to share with us their vision of this facility. It is anticipated that the design process will be completed by April 2021. As an authentic interdisciplinary project, Year 5 students have also been exploring and designing a possible childcare building for our

campus. They have come up with some creative solutions that are being considered for the project. It will be interesting to note the thinking of our Year 5 students alongside the architects’ concepts. The Waabiny Project brief highlights that the childcare centre, set in the Bull Creek Gabbiljee area, will connect the indoor and outdoor

It is important that Waabiny has:

• CONNECTION TO THE NATURA L ENVIRONMENT • A SENSE OF FLOW AND NATURA L LIGHT • A SENSE OF PLACE AND CONN ECTION TO INDIGENOUS CULTU RE • A SENSE OF BELONGING FOR INFANTS AND FAMILIES • CONNECTION TO THE WIDER CO LLEGE COMMUNITY • A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY

environments. Parents and staff will partner to create an environment where infants feel a sense of belonging, comfortable in the moment, while forming close relationships with staff and other children. Our wish is that their curiosity and sense of wonder are ignited. Aligning with ASC’s Philosophy, Vision and Values, Waabiny will provide a unique opportunity for children to be part of our vibrant and caring environment from a very early age, offering a seamless transition to each phase of learning on campus. Parents will be able to connect to our community for all their children’s educational and care needs, including Out of School Hours Care, primary and secondary schooling and cocurricular opportunities.

Waabiny will be located on our existing child-friendly, safe campus. The staff will be committed to the wellbeing of children, offering a wide

range of services including Learning Support, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Psychologists, Chaplain and Arts practitioners.

Waabiny children will benefit from the College’s resources, including sporting facilities, Dance, Drama and Music facilities, Libraries, our Early Childhood Centre and Bush School. They will connect with older students interested in working with young children on Work Experience or training for Certificates of Early Childhood Development. In researching this project, I travelled to high-quality childcare centres in the eastern states. It was a valuable experience to explore the physical space of each centre and to speak with the directors about their experiences. While relationships are most important in any childcare centre, the physical space – including the interior and exterior design and the way it is nestled into

each community – is a vital part of ensuring the project is successful. Mr Philip Gale (Facilities Manager), Mrs Sara Mano (Early Childhood Coordinator) and Ms Soyeon Lee (Educational Leader, Out of School Hours Care) have significantly contributed to this project with their individual expertise. The College’s Building and Grounds Committee has also provided a high level of expertise in the area and is contributing at specific points during the process. We have now chosen our preferred architectural firm, and they have submitted a proposal to the Principal and the College Board. We are excited about the prospect of a detailed Feasibility Study, and look forward to confirming when the project will go ahead. Ms Penelope Crane Dean of Junior School

curriculum purposes and personal use. “The final phase, which we hope to introduce in 2021, will be to open up the space to external providers so that they can run fitness classes for students and staff, as well as for parents and guardians in our College community,” she said.

“Koorliny is an inviting space where our community can feel safe, comfortable and supported as they pursue their personal fitness goals and achieve a healthy life balance,” said Miss Gray.

Koorliny is currently open before school (7.00am – 8.15am) and after school (3.30pm – 4.30pm) on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays to staff, and students over 16 years of age. The space is also open during all Wellbeing Personal Enrichment Periods and on Tuesdays (Period 5) for Year 12s only.

A four-phase approach was adopted for the rollout of Koorliny in the community, with Senior School students and staff across the College now enjoying the space for
