YEAR 11 OUTDOOR EDUCATION NAVIGATION EXPEDITION
On Tuesday, 23 June the Year 11 Outdoor Education class set off on a challenging and rewarding overnight navigation expedition into the bush roughly an hour and a half south-east of Perth. The challenge for the 18 students was to make their way along the famous Bibbulmun Track to the Mt Cooke Campsite.
Students worked extremely hard throughout the term to plan and prepare for this expedition. They practised their leadership, communication and mapping skills to lead the entire group through different sections of the expedition. The students successfully navigated their way through some very dense terrain to various areas using their maps, compass, bearings, pacing and the natural features of the beautiful landscape.
On Day 1 the group enjoyed the breathtaking views from Mt Cooke. Using marker trees, access roads and the Bibbulmun Track as guides, all students rotated through the various roles to ensure they improved their knowledge. The students organised their own menu for the camp and cooked their own meals on a Trangia stove. They also enjoyed a night navigation challenge.
There were some outstanding performances and highlights over the two days, and all students are congratulated on their efforts. The entire group did extremely well in slightly wet conditions, demonstrating leadership, navigation, fitness and resilience in the outdoors. A special thank you to Mr Damien Stevens (Year 11/12 Coordinator), Miss Britt Gray (Director of Sport and Physical Education) and Mr Jason Zaurs (Head of Outdoor Learning) for giving up their time and sharing their expertise on this expedition.

YEAR 7 AFL CARNIVAL
The end of Term 2 saw the easing of COVID-19 restrictions which allowed All Saints’ to compete in the Boys and Girls ACC Year 7 AFL Carnival, held at Ferndale Park on Tuesday, 23 June. Both teams showed a lot of improvement throughout the day and while neither team were able to secure a win, they represented the College well and demonstrated fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship.

THE RUNNING CLUB
The Running Club recommences tomorrow (Friday, 24 July) and will focus on shorter distance running to align with the Athletics season and to prepare our running for the upcoming All Saints' College Interhouse Athletics and 1500m carnivals and the ACC Interschool Carnival which will be held later in the term. Training days are now Tuesday and Friday mornings and we will continue to provide breakfast for our runners after training. We encourage our regular runners to continue attending and welcome all new students to join.
