TWO TEACHERS MAKE EDUCATION HOT LIST 2020
Congratulations to All Saints' College teachers Ms Brette Lockyer (Junior School ICT Literacy Teacher) and Mr Greg Port (Head of ICT Integration / Acting Head of Library Services) for being two of just four West Australians recognised on the Hot List 2020!
The Hot List comprises 75 of Australia's most innovative and cutting-edge teachers and notes: "the winners have made invaluable contributions to the K-12 education sector over the past 12 months, demonstrating excellence in linking theory and practice, and designing and implementing innovations that provide students with high-quality educational experiences, during these unprecedented times."
LAWRENCE WILSON ART GALLERY EXHIBITION
The College congratulates Year 11 Visual Art ATAR students Lani Robinson, Sophie Smith, Michelle Thesman and Emilia Traverso on their artworks being selected for an exhibition at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery on the UWA campus.
In February this year, Year 11 ATAR Visual Arts students visited the Perth Festival Exhibition The Long Kiss Goodbye at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery. Subsequently, students had the opportunity to create artworks to be exhibited alongside other student work at the gallery, in response to the themes or an artist explored in The Long Kiss Goodbye.
Exploring themes such as love, loss and attraction, the students created engaging and thought-provoking artworks using a range of mediums. The exhibition opening will take place on Saturday, 19 September, 2.00pm–3.00pm, and it will remain open until Saturday, 26 September.
In Lani's triptych 'Hearts', she created a physical representation of heartbreak, and the troubles faced when parting from someone you love.
In ‘Happy Days’, Sophie wanted to explore mental illness and its impact on day to day life. Her artwork refers to the 1950’s aesthetic of the TV show Happy Days and uses irony and humour to communicate meaning.
Michelle's two artworks, 'Swallowing Geography' and 'I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating' explore obsession, ritual, and the duality present in the physical and intangible realms.
Emilia's work 'The Trickster' was inspired by the differences between animals and humans, how symbols, stories and deities tend to appear in completely separate and distinct cultures, and the "trickster" figure in mythology and folklore.
NETBALL STAR
Congratulations to Madison Gauntlett (Year 12) for being selected for the Associated and Catholic Colleges of WA (ACC) All Stars Girls Netball Team. After numerous trials, Madison was selected alongside nine girls from other schools to represent the ACC in the All Stars Netball Tournament on Sunday, 18 October against the Independent Girls School Association (IGSSA) and School Sport WA (SSWA). Being selected for the All Stars team is testament to Madison’s talent and dedication to the sport, and we wish her all the best!
