All Saints College Calumba 1986 I , COLLEGE PRAYER Almighty Father, we offer to you the life of this College. Make it like a field which you have blessed, so that all that is good and worthy of praise may grow and flourish here. Guide and direct the Principal and members of the staff in all their activities in the service of those who learn. Help students to use wisely the gifts you have given them, and to remember that to respect and honour you is the beginning of all wisdom. May parents and friends of the College make their contribution by taking up in loving concern the opportunities of service that come to them, and by the quality of life of their homes. Help us all to build a fellowship of people in which love, care and respect prevail, so that together we may grow in knowledge and understanding, and in faith in you. , We ask these things in Jesus' Name. Amen. • ALLSAlNTS'COLLEGE Bull Creek, Western Australia Calumba ~il..looooooo~ NUMBER 6, 1986 Editor: Joelie May Front Cover Artist: Seonaid Esslemont Back Cover Artist: Dawnia Chiu ALL SAINTS' COLLEGE VISITOR The Most Rev'd.
