ART, DESIG AD TECH OLOGY EXHIBITIO

The Art, Design and Technology Exhibition held last October included a number of examples in both wood and metal from the Year Eight cohort.

Students Involved in Design of Chapel Hangings

As part of the TEE course work, Year Eleven Art students have been involved in preparing preliminary designs for fabric panels to hang in the Chapel sanctuary. The students' designs were on display in the Annual Art Exhibition held in late October. Visitors to the exhibition agreed that the students produced exceptional work, making the final choice of four panels extremely difficult. After much discussion the original designs shown on the front and back covers of this magazine were the ones it was felt would best hang together both in terms of the overall design and the colour. The front cover contains work by Ina Sudjana and Danyelle Chittenden and, on the back, designs by Caroline Alim and Emily Cook are shown. Whilst the work of these four students is clearly recognised, we should also congratulate all the students who were involved in this project. The sensitive and mature way they approached what was a very difficult and demanding brief was higWy commendable. The designs have now been handed over to a textile designer who is currently drawing up each panel onto a larger scale so that they can later be accurately interpreted into fabric. Although some alterations to the original designs have been necessary in order to create a unified group, these adaptations have been kept to a minimum to retain the integrity of the original student art work. When the final design drafts have been completed they will be passed on to Barbara Rastrick, an Albany craftswoman who will be responsible for the construction of the hangings. Each panel will be made in silk applique and will be three metres high and one metre in width. The large scale of the final hangings will demand many painstaking hours in construction. It is anticipated, therefore, that the four panels will take as long as two years to complete. We are sure they will be worth waiting for. The high quality of craft work which will realise and interpret the freshness and originality of the initial designs will provide an exquisite and powerful backdrop in the Chapel. We will keep you up to date with their progress. MrK Brewin Head ofDesign Technology SIX EDUCATION

Education Centenary Student Parliament

On 13th October 1893, Western Australia's Parliament passed amendments to the Education Act which created an Education Department and gave the Minister of Education the responsibility for all government and private education in the State.

As part of the commemoration of this Centenary of the Ministry of Education, a series of events was organised. One of these was a Student Parliament conducted at Parliament House from 19th to 21st September 1993. Each secondary school throughout the State was invited to nominate Year Nine or Ten students from MICHAEL ANDREWARTHA MEETING THE SPEAKER FOR THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY, THE whom "members" in the Education HON J G CLARKO.

The special guest speaker for the evening was Mr John Bednall, the Headmaster of Hutchins School in Tasmania and former Deputy Principal of All Saints' College, who took little persuading to join us on the occasion. Mr Bednall joined All Saints' College at the beginning of 1982 and made a lasting impression on the College and students of that time. This was evident both in the reaction to his speech and by the number of former students who spoke with him during the course of the evening with remarkable ease and comfort. The friendships Mr Bednall forged with his students at All Saints' College seemed as strong as ever, once again emphasising the notion of security and steadfastness.

The Competition was run by the West Australian ewspapers and Educational Computing Association of WA. The day would help culminate a variety of activities based on newspapers which I had given the Enrichment Group as their Thursday afternoon after-school activities. MS BUR SAD STUDE TS A a lead-up to the day, students were encouraged to analyse the different sections of a newspaper, and then try their hand at writing main news stories, using the inverted triangle method of answering specific questions in the body of the article. Later, advertisements were discussed and then the students had to become familiar with the computers in the Senior School. Mrs Bedford provided much help and assistance, as well as allaying our fears of what we could and could not do using the computer. Closer to the big day, the group held a new conference and worked out which section of the newspaper they would like to work on. At this conference the name, "The Enrichment Express" for the masthead was agreed upon and the students were encouraged to produce an appropriate emblem to accompany the words. Paul Ryan and Alan Chong's train with the 'masthead' on the side of it was voted the best emblem. FIFTEEN JUNIOR SCHOOL

The Enrichment group eagerly met on the Wednesday morning of the Competition and, with some anxiety, held another conference. Here, each person in the group was given a special "The Enrichment Express" cap to wear and duties and procedures to follow were finalised. Some students set about laying out their special page, while others attempted to write their articles from the Nexus news service system, to which we had access on the day in order to write reports which were topical. Mrs Williams and Mrs Bedford and I were kept busy proofing, advising and helping with layouts for the students to produce their page. Mrs Angel gave invaluable assistance during the morning in the computer room and was armed appropriately with a huge dictionary so there was no doubt about the correct spelling! The students and staff managed to break for lunch and by that stage had eight A3 size pages pasted up. The afternoon was a repeat of the morning sessions - a frantic pace and anxious wait for the printer to print out its huge backlog of articles. Come 3.30 pm, most of the pages had been prepared and pasted up. Minor paste ups were made on the Thursday and on the Friday. We then rushed the newspaper into "The West Australian" in town for the judging. Some ten days later the results were posted to us. The results were most gratifying - we managed excellent or very good ratings in the varied sections. As this was our very first attempt, we were all thrilled. The "paper" was a good example of how a group of students can work together harmoniously and offer help and praise to each other as needed. MsJ Burns Year Seven Teacher SIXTEEN JUNIOR SCHOOL
