Teamwork and Tenacity at the IPSHA Academic Challenge

On Tuesday 27 August, two teams from All Saints’ represented the College at the IPSHA Academic Challenge, hosted by Methodist Ladies’ College. Each team was made up of one student from Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6: Emily Hanlon and Owen Patching from Year 4, Emily Chan and Jayden Ng from Year 5 and Rayansh Kolli and Hasini Matcha from Year 6.

Over six challenging rounds—including Maths, Logic, Spelling, General Knowledge and Geography—our students demonstrated outstanding teamwork, communication and critical thinking. The teams prepared diligently throughout Term 3, meeting during lunchtimes to sharpen their skills. Both teams performed exceptionally well and represented All Saints’ with pride. Congratulations to all involved on a wonderful achievement!

IPSHA Junior Speakers' Competition

On Tuesday 12 August, two outstanding Year 4 students, Ellianna Jenkins and Maatu Pathmanathan, participated in the IPSHA Junior Speakers’ Competition at Wesley College. Throughout the term, they dedicated themselves to crafting, refining and rehearsing their four-minute speeches. Ellianna delivered a captivating presentation on The Earth and the wonders it holds, while Maatu shared her enthusiasm for amazing Aquatic Creatures—Octopuses and Otters.

Their hard work and confidence shone through as they presented to a wider audience, earning bronze medals in their respective rounds. Public speaking is a vital skill, and it was a credit to both Ellianna and Maatu to see them perform to such a high standard. We congratulate them on their achievements and thank them for representing All Saints’ College with pride and excellence.

Year 5 and 6 students Claire Chin (Year 5), Lexi Luan (Year 5), Amari Aggarwal (Year 6), and Yuening Huang (Year 6) spent Term 3 drafting, refining and rehearsing their four-minute speeches in preparation for the event.
