All Saints' College, Perth

All Saints' College is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary, and secondary day school, located in Bull Creek, a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The college is situated on 19 hectares (47 acres), approximately ten kilometres (six miles) south of the Perth central business district. [5]

Contents

The college was founded in 1981 as the first coeducational Anglican secondary school in the Perth metropolitan area and the first Anglican secondary school in the southern suburbs, [6] and now caters for students from pre-kindergarten to Year 12/13. [lower-alpha 1]

History

Planning for the college began in 1979, [6] [8] : 1  and the first enrolment was accepted in that year. [9] Construction began in 1980 and the first classes were held in 1981. Initially the college had approximately 100 students, in years 7 and 8. [10]

The chapel was built in 1989, and the junior school in 1992. The swimming pool and learning centre were added in 2001. [9] A student gathering area named The Common was installed in 2008. [11]

In late 2009, the college adopted a new logo. [12]

A new indoor sports centre was completed in August 2010. [13] [14] During 2010, the senior school library was expanded, re-opening at the start of the 2011 academic year. [15] [16]

A new performing arts theatre was built in 2012, and opened in 2013. [17] [18] [19]

Junior school

The junior school facilities include music rooms, an art complex, a library, computing facilities, an enrichment centre and a theatre. [20]

Senior school

Year 8 students take part in a peer support programme that helps them to make the transition to senior school. Year 11 students are given training for a mentoring role in a peer support programme that has been operating for several years. [21]

The year 12/13 learning centre was the first of its kind in Australia. The three-storey building comprises classrooms, laboratories and student amenities. Every room has air-conditioning, television and video and is online, with both wireless and wired network technology. The ground floor features an independent learning area with study carrels and computers, a quiet study room and a student common room. [20]

Houses

The college has a pastoral house system with six houses, named after Western Australian historical figures. [22] [23] The houses are:

Forrest, Murdoch, O'Connor and Stirling were established with the college in 1981. Cowan and Durack were added in 1994 as the student numbers increased. [23]

Between 1993 and 2011, the junior school had separate houses: Bussell, Drummond, Molloy and Riley. [24] [lower-alpha 3] In 2012, these houses were disbanded and the students transferred to the same houses as the senior school. [25]

Notable alumni

The Former Students' Association is a group of former students established in 1986. [26] Its goals are to create a sense of community among former students, and to further the interests of the college. The Association has its own publication, Dovetails. [27]
