Sandy Potter - Senior School Librarian

• Sandy Potter left the College at the end of Term 2, after nine years of dedicated service to the school.

Sandy joined All Saints' in July 1990 and initially spent two enjoyable years working with Years 5 to 12. One of her lasting achievements during those years was the design and development of our lovely Junior School library, which opened in 1993.

The following year - now Head of the Senior Library - Sandy was awarded a fellowship grant to attend a conference in South Australia. This conference focused on technologies in the 1992 Back row: Sandy library, and much of what was discussed there became critical to the formulation of Potter, Sue Manolas, development plans for both College libraries.

David Thomson - Design Technology Teacher/lntegrated and Independent Learning Advisor

After eight years at ASC, I am moving on. I will be doing some studying and seeing what comes of that as I cast around for new opportunities after teaching art (and some other things) for twenty-two years.

My eight years at ASC have provided me with many opportunities that I value very highly. Working with Keith Brewin has been a great pleasure and has broadened my understanding of education enormously. Working with so many motivated and friendly people (staff and students) has been very satisfying. Being involved in rock-climbing, caving, abseiling, kayaking and sailing has been hugely enjoyable. ASC has a great deal to offer staff as well as students.

My wife, Helen, and I are in the process of moving to Dunsborough (via Australind). The south-west is where we have been aiming to live for some time, and as the opportunities arise, we are taking them.

So, farewell to all the wonderful people at ASC and may the future bring you exciting challenges and a good measure of hilarity.

page seven These are the ideals that we strive for. Implicit in that striving is constant development and improvement. It is with this in mind that we stand on the brink of perhaps the most exciting development stage yet proposed at the College: the construction of the All Saints' College Aquatic Complex and Year 12 Learning Centre.

These two projects will change the face of education at All Saints' College.

Consider them individually.

The Year 12 Learning Centre... will enable us to offer our senior students unparalleled opportunities to access flexible learning situations. This will prepare them for tertiary education and the workforce and will optimise their educational outcomes in their final year at school. COLLEGE QUARTERLY

Anita Hyde (Year 3)

Consider them, also, as part of the overall educational programme at the College.

These two facilities together will open up a vast range of opportunities for the College community, and will enrich our everyday lives. The opening of the Year 12 Learning Centre will, in addition, free up classroom space and enable us to reduce class sizes, offer extra places to families currently on waiting lists, and provide a special programme for Year 7 and 8 students.

Fundraising has now begun, and we have had overwhelming support for these two projects. The sum raised already exceeds $320,000, and contributions are growing daily.

Bringing these plans to fruition will be challenging, but we know that at the end of the day, these two projects will deliver an even better educational and social environment in which we can continue to work towards our common goals.

In recent years there has been increasing recognition of the unique educational needs of young people around the age of adolescence. Traditionally, at exactly the time when they are changing so much in themselves, the education system has confronted them with vast changes in the move from primary to secondary school.

At All Saints' College we have been discussing this situation for some time now, and seeking a means of providing the most effective education possible for young people of this age.

It is our wish to remove the sense of being confronted with vast change and, instead, to create a system where our students can make a smooth and comfortable transition from pre-adolescence to adolescence. ture~ At the beginning of 1999, we established a centre for our Year 8 students. All of the Year 8 classrooms are in the same area, sharing a common corridor and opening into a Year 8 information technology area. We have been able, as well, to put together a team of teachers who are committed to working in the early secondary years - while also still teaching senior classes.

A more stable environment With these two adjustments, we have created a more stable environment for the Year 8 classes, with fewer changes of classroom and fewer changes of teacher in the course of a day. So the students can concentrate on getting to know each other and on making progress with their studies, instead of being confused by the bewildering changes taking place in front of them daily. Of course, Year 8 students soon turn into Year 9s, and part of the transition which needs to occur at this time is the development of an ability to adjust. Appropriately, therefore, the Year 8 classes also share a further team of specialist teachers with Years 9, 10, 11 and 12, and they take their science, art and design, performing arts and LOTE classes in specialist areas. So there is a mixture of stability and preparation for change.

Developing with confidence Our approach to meeting the needs of our Year 8 students does not stop at classroom and timetable arrangements, of course. We are endeavouring to make the curriculum as exciting, stimulating and challenging as possible. We believe that if students engage with the curriculum, they will be

COLLEGE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE more likely to develop confidence in their own role in the world and in their ability to contribute productively. To this Year 8 parents at a morning end, we are constantly re-examining and discussing our curriculum, and in particular looking for ways to educate our tea organised as part of students by developing the skills, processes and knowledge they need. We insist that traditional subject boundaries students' Design Technology: Nutrition course. will not impede our pursuit of the goal of exciting and effective learning.

The Year 8 area has its own set of desktop computers, connected to the College network and from there to the Internet. An essential element of education in Year 8 is the accessing of information from the World Wide Web, and students are trained in both acceptable and efficient usage. All classes have computers conveniently located in an interconnected central space, allowing easy access at any time.

In 200', we are moving the Year 7 classes into an area adjacent to the Year 8s, and our Transition Programme will then operate for these two years. Consistent with the concept of transition from one phase to another, the Year 7 procedures will be slightly different from those for the Year 8s. Year 7 students will, for example, have more contact with a principal teacher, both at curriculum and at pastoral levels, so there is an extra measure of stability of relationships available.

Achievements as yet unimagined By having a special centre for the years of transition from childhood to adolescence, we shall be easing that transition in a way that will make real education more comfortable and more exciting for our students. And we hope that the transition centre will create its own community - a part of the larger College community, but with its own identity as well - which will provide new opportunities for leadership, for artistic endeavour, for recreation, and for achievements as yet unimagined.

The opportunity to provide our students with an improved learning environment is one of the most important benefits arising from the new Aquatic Complex and the Year 12 Learning Centre. Another benefit for parents with children on our waitlist is that in 2001, Year 12 students will move into the newly-created Learning Centre, freeing up classroom space throughout the College. This will allow us to house an increased number of year groups while reducing individual class sizes.

2001 will be a unique year in terms of enrolments, with more individual intake years than is usually the case. This will also be the last year in which there will be an intake for Pre­ primary and Year 6 students.

Intake years for 2001 will be: As of 2002, the principal * Kindergarten intake years will be: * Pre-primary * Kindergarten * Year 5 * Year 5 * Year 6 * Year 7 * Year 7 * Year 8 * Year 8

The majority of parents will not be directly affected by the changes taking place in the current enrolment system: however parents who have children enrolled for Year 6 in 2002 onwards will be affected by the change as there will be no Year 6 intake available after 2001. In addition, due to the introduction of a Kindergarten at the College, there will be no Pre-primary intake after 2001: parents with children on waitlists for Pre-primary from 2002 onwards will therefore be approached by the College to discuss their options.

The introduction of a Kindergarten will enable the College to provide a specialist programme for children who turn four before 30 September 2001. Both full-time and part-time places will be available, and the programme will run from 8.30am to 3.00pm five days a week. The Kindergarten will provide a flexible, nurturing environment for our youngest children and is a long-awaited and very welcome development.

With increasing numbers of families deciding that independent education is the way to go, pressure on places available for students at All Saints', and indeed at other private schools, is increasing. Although it is fortuitous that the addition of the Aquatic Complex and the Learning Centre will enable us to offer more places at the College, this does not alter the fact that parents need to enrol their children as early as possible to ensure a place. Parents who are in doubt about their options are urged to contact Jill Green at the College as soon as possible.

Italy, its people and the Italian language have been a passion of mine since my first visit there as a little girl. I must admit that after seven tours, the sightseeing has become somewhat repetitive and less exciting for me. These Study Tour to trips, however, are not intended for me, and seeing the expressions of excitement and awe on the faces of my students as they see and experience new things gives me a thrill every single time.

This is not a simple tour of Italy. I know Italy like the back of my hand and I try to show my students aspects of Italy and Italian life that the average tourist would not be able to experience. The tour is five hectic weeks jam-packed with everything I can possibly fit in.

Ready Steady Cook

Who is the better cook: Year 12 student Richard Baillie or Director of Finance and Community Relations and history teacher Mark Stapleton? This was the question on everyone's lips recently.

Leeuwin ocean voyages are not holidays but lifetime experiences. Students learn how to sail the vessel, and in the process they learn about themselves and how to relate to others.

The Parents & Friends' Society has sponsored several All Saints' students on a Leeuwin ocean adventure voyage. Students who are sponsored are selected by a College committee of the Heads of Houses and other Senior Academic staff and then recommended to the P&F for support. The P&F is prepared to sponsor one student each year. The students selected to go on these voyages have been able to develop their confidence and leadership skills, and several of them have gone on to take leadership roles in their Houses. Students sponsored by the Parents & Friends' include Damien Crane, Matthew Holden and Allan ( Payne (1991); Adrian Maynier (1995); Joshua Smithson (1996); Amy Tyers (1997); Richard Tyrrell (1998).

Serena Blackney and Jane Gates were selected to participate in Youth Leadership Training Voyages on STS Leeuwin sponsored by the State Government in 1998 and 1999 respectively. (Serena has already been on her voyage, and Jane's is scheduled for August.) Shannon Davies (Year 12) received sponsorship from both the State Government and Applecross Rotary, and several other students have gone on the Leeuwin under their own steam. A Leeuwin voyage was also offered as an option on one occasion during Camp Week. All in all, the College has maintained a steady stream of students on the Leeuwin in the years since 1985.

The Leeuwin is an outstanding resource staffed and run by a dedicated team of professionals, and we are delighted to have had such a long and successful relationship with the ship.

With the three-year-old Reggio Emilia class at Reggio Em ilia.

In the April holidays, Jillian Dinsdale and I were able to attend the Australian and New Zealand Study Tour to Reggio Emilia in Italy. Here we gained first-hand experience of the Reggio Emilia pre-school system, which was established by the municipal authorities after World War 11.

Reggio Emilia is world-renowned for its integrity and for its ground-breaking approach to the theory and practice of early childhood education. Our visit was mentally inspiring and challenging - and reassuring, as it confirmed the beliefs and practices we pursue here at All Saints'.

Jill Williams first visited Reggio Emilia in January 1998, and her vision and drive for excellence in the area of early childhood learning at the College made it possible for us to attend this study tour and share some of her experiences. We have returned inspired by the challenges presented to us and by the Italians' excellence, and look forward to transferring elements of their system to our environment and culture. We are most grateful to the College for giving us this opportunity.

Afterwards the visitors joined the students in a range of typical classroom activities in the Year 1 classroom. There was much sharing of knowledge, skills and enjoyment. This was followed by a morning tea for all, which included goodies baked by the students.
