From the Old Saints' President

Mr Mark Balding - Old Saints' President

AS we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Foundation of the College, the Old Saints' Committee has seen a great start to this year's reunions and is looking forward to many great events to come!

CONGRATULATIONS to the Coordinators of the 5 and 10 Year Reunions held earlier this year. Both functions were well attended and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. For anyone who has coordinated a reunion, we appreciate the amount of effort that goes into hosting a successful event, and we thank all those involved in making them the success they are.

With three reunions to go for the year, we encourage all former students to get behind the Coordinators and help us get in contact with students who graduated in 1995, 1990 and 1985. If you know of anyone who may not have their details registered with us, please let us know or have them contact the Community Relations Department at the College. If you are looking for information about reunions, including dates and event wrap-ups, please visit the Old Saints' section of the College website under 'College Community'.

We were privileged to attend the 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner held on Saturday, 28 August 2010 at the Forrest Centre in Perth. The event was superbly organised by a team from the Parents and Friends' Society. Several Old Saints attended the glittering affair and the night was a truly wonderful tribute to the College.

With our commitment again this year to the Careers Cafe, the Old Saints' Committee is still developing new ways to engage with the current student body, as well as the extended former students. We are still keen to welcome new people to the Committee. If you have four hours per year to provide your input, please let us know via the Community Relations Department at the College.

From everyone on the Old Saints' Committee, we wish you well for the rest of the year and hope to see you at our upcoming events.

And the Saints keep marching

ALL Saints' is delighted to continue the outstanding education that our Old Saints enjoyed at the College, through the next generation. As the College celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, many of our foundation students are now at a stage in their lives where they are choosing an All Saints' education for their own children.

The year-books have been scanned to provide high quality text and images. This has resulted in large files. Users are advised that the images are best downloaded via a high-speed broadband link.

It is hoped the digitized year-books will be of great use to former students who are organising reunions, individuals searching for images of themselves, family members or friends for various celebrations and anniversaries, and as a resource for students researching the development of the College.
