Change brings with it questions and issues of the unknown.
We are called to move out of our comfort zone and accept the
challenges of change. Read through these pages and see howthe saying 'Nothing changes, everything changes' is a reality inour lives. Please travel with us as we embrace the new and
build upon our strengths.

Make no mistake, what we take for granted in this school isnot necessarily represented in the culture of all schools. It ismy role to highlight for others in the College community thethings within our culture that are special, and those things
that we should nurture and hold precious. Like Father Tim, Ialso believe that there is a time to be gentle with ourselves.
So, in some ways, nothing changes: we just build upon those
things that we know will work. However we also live in an era
of rapid change and challenge. Some of the pages look closely
at the areas in which we feel that we need to do better, or inwhich we need to embrace change. The areas of greatest
change are in curriculum development. We have embarked on
three projects - the Aquatic Complex, the Year 12 Learning
Centre and some changes to Years land 8 - which relate to
improving and adapting to the challenges of the future.
As you look at this copy of College Quarterly you will notice
that the theme of going from strength to strength is a clearone as we build upon those things that we hold precious. The
activities and achievements of so many of our students - in
the College production of Tin Pan Ali, language tours, manysports, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and other activities thatinvolve some form of service to the community - are clear and
strong. The claim that there may soon be more than sixty
students in a voluntary programme such as the Duke ofEdinburgh Award - a programme that requires a great deal ofdedication, perseverance and community service - is not ahollow one: the number has already grown from a handful ofstarters only a few years ago. Look closely at the other articlesand you will see many programmes and activities where older
students are involved in working with younger students. This is
another aspect of College life that grows from strength tostrength, and we are all the richer for it.

I am writing this article a week after former student Tim
Russell (1990 leaver) returned to the College and attended theSenior School Assembly as a newly-ordained Anglican priest,the Revd Tim Russell. Father Tim, as we called him, commented
about the College in terms of the saying 'Nothing changes,everything changes'. He also spoke to the students about being
gentle with themselves as they explore their future pathwaysin life. He said that the College had enabled this to happen in
his life when he was here, and he hoped that this was still an
important part of the culture of the College.

After eight years at ASC, I am moving on. I will be doing some studying and seeing what comes of that as I
cast around for new opportunities after teaching art (and some other things) for twenty-two years.
My eight years at ASC have provided me with many opportunities that I value very highly. Working with KeithBrewin has been a great pleasure and has broadened my understanding of education enormously. Workingwith so many motivated and friendly people (staff and students) has been very satisfying. Being involved in
rock-climbing, caving, abseiling, kayaking and sailing has been hugely enjoyable. ASC has a great deal to offerstaff as well as students.

andy's husband Terry, who has also contributed enormously to the success of the library, has
now been retired for four years and Sandy feels that the time is right for her to devote moretime to her family. With plans for overseas travel in the pipeline, Sandy is also looking forward to participating in a creative writing course atMurdoch University, which will assist her with a forthcoming book.
COLLEGE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE
Sandy Potter - Senior School Librarian
In addition to the Internet, Sandy has introduced CD-ROM technologies to the College,
participated in crosscurricular activities, conducted research and inquiry skills programmes,and assisted with the implementation of literature promotions. In the past eighteen monthsshe has also been heavily involved in the upgrading of library software and hardware and in
improving the library environment through extensive refurbishment.
Many lasting friendships have resulted from Sandy's enthusiastic support of College activities,and she has also been a keen participant in numerous College camps. This has given her a
sp cial opportunity to interact with staff and students outside the classroom.
Sandy's successor at the College will be Jan Kaye, who was formerly the Head of Library at Christ Church Grammar School, and we welcome her very
warmly to All Saints' College.
My wife, Helen, and I are in the process of moving to Dunsborough (via Australind). The south-west is where we
have been aiming to live for some time, and as the opportunities arise, we are taking them.
So, farewell to all the wonderful people at ASC and may the future bring you exciting challenges and a good measure of hilarity.

• Sandy Potter left the College at the end of Term 2, after nine years of dedicated service to the school.
Sandy joined All Saints' in July 1990 and initially spent two enjoyable years working with Years 5 to 12. One of
her lasting achievements during those years was the design and development of our lovely Junior School library,
which opened in 1993.
The following year - now Head of the Senior Library - Sandy was awarded a fellowship grant
to attend a conference in South Australia. This conference focused on technologies in thelibrary, and much of what was discussed there became critical to the formulation ofdevelopment plans for both College libraries.

Canteen undercover area renovated
The start of Term 2 saw the completion of the first
major P&F project to be carried out at the College for
several years. This was the replacement of the oldaluminium roof covering the area in front of th
canteen with a spectacular, visually appealing and
functional canopy roof. This was completely funded
by the P&F, and congratulations must be extended to
all P&F members involved in its planning and in
particular to Phil Angel, who acted as project
manager on behalf of the College.
To celebrate the completion of this project, a wine
and cheese evening was held in June. Despite the cold
weather, this function was well attended by parents,
staff and Board members. Chairman of the Board Ken
Court welcomed the arrival of the new roof. The
undercover area was transformed into a cosy
courtyard for the evening, and all present enjoyed a
good selection of wines and plenty of food.
The first half of the year has seen a lot of activity bythe P&F. We got off to a great start early in Term 1,
with a large turn-out at the Annual General Meeting
and the P&F Sundowner. A new Executive was
elected for the year, and the following portfolios of

These are the ideals that we strive for. Implicit in that striving is constant development and
improvement. It is with this in mind that we stand on the brink of perhaps the most
exciting development stage yet proposed at the College: the construction of the
All Saints' CollegeAquatic Complex and
Year 12 Learning Centre.These two projects will change the face of education at All Saints' College.
Consider them individually.
The Year 12 Learning Centre...
will enable us to offer our senior students unparalleledopportunities to access flexible learning situations. Thiswill prepare them for tertiary education and the
workforce and will optimise their educational outcomesin their final year at school.
Bringing these plans to fruition will be challenging, but we know that at the end of the day, these two projects willdeliver an even better educational and social environment in which we can continue to work towards our

common goals.
Anita Hyde (Year 3)
Fundraising has now begun, and we have had overwhelming support for these two projects. The sum raised already
exceeds $320,000, and contributions are growing daily.
Consider them, also, as part of the overall educationalprogramme at the College.
These two facilities together will open up a vast range of opportunities for the College community, and will enrich our
everyday lives. The opening of the Year 12 Learning Centre will, in addition, free up classroom space and enable us to
reduce class sizes, offer extra places to families currently on waiting lists, and provide a special programme for Year 7
and 8 students.
E
In recent years there has been increasing recognition of the unique educational needs
of young people around the age of adolescence. Traditionally, at exactly the time when
they are changing so much in themselves, the education system has confronted them
with vast changes in the move from primary to secondary school.
At All Saints' College we have been discussing this situation for some time now, and
seeking a means of providing the most effective education possible for young people of
this age.
It is our wish to remove the sense of being confronted with vast change and, instead, tocreate a system where our students can make a smooth and comfortable transition
from pre-adolescence to adolescence.
ture~At the beginning of 1999, we established a centre for our Year 8 students. All of theYear 8 classrooms are in the same area, sharing a common corridor and opening into a
Year 8 information technology area. We have been able, as well, to put together a teamof teachers who are committed to working in the early secondary years - while also still
teaching senior classes.
A more stable environmentWith these two adjustments, we have created a more stable environment for the Year 8
classes, with fewer changes of classroom and fewer changes of teacher in the course of
a day. So the students can concentrate on getting to know each other and on makingprogress with their studies, instead of being confused by the bewildering changes takingplace in front of them daily. Of course, Year 8 students soon turn into Year 9s, and part
of the transition which needs to occur at this time is the development of an ability toadjust. Appropriately, therefore, the Year 8 classes also sharea further team of specialist teachers with Years 9, 10, 11 and12, and they take their science, art and design, performingarts and LOTE classes in specialist areas. So there is a mixtureof stability and preparation for change.
Developing with confidenceOur approach to meeting the needs of our Year 8 studentsdoes not stop at classroom and timetable arrangements, of
course. We are endeavouring to make the curriculum as
exciting, stimulating and challenging as possible. We believethat if students engage with the curriculum, they will be

more likely to develop confidence in their own role in the world and in their ability to contribute productively. To this
end, we are constantly re-examining and discussing our curriculum, and in particular looking for ways to educate our
students by developing the skills, processes and knowledge they need. We insist that traditional subject boundaries
will not impede our pursuit of the goal of exciting and effective learning.
The Year 8 area has its own set of desktop computers, connected to the College network and from there to the
Internet. An essential element of education in Year 8 is the accessing of information from the World Wide Web, andstudents are trained in both acceptable and efficient usage. All classes have computers conveniently located in an
interconnected central space, allowing easy access at any time.
In 200', we are moving the Year 7 classes into an area adjacent to the Year 8s, and our TransitionProgramme will then operate for these two years. Consistent with the concept of transition from one
phase to another, the Year 7 procedures will be slightly different from those for the Year 8s. Year 7
students will, for example, have more contact with a principal teacher, both at curriculum and at
pastoral levels, so there is an extra measure of stability of relationships available.
Achievements as yet unimaginedBy having a special centre for the years of transition from childhood toadolescence, we shall be easing that transition in a way that will make real
education more comfortable and more exciting for our students. And we hopethat the transition centre will create its own community - a part of the larger
College community, but with its own identity as well - which will provide newopportunities for leadership, for artistic endeavour, for recreation, and for
achievements as yet unimagined.

As of 2002, the principalintake years will be:* Kindergarten
* Year 5* Year 7* Year 8
Intake years for 2001 will be:* Kindergarten* Pre-primary
* Year 5
* Year 6* Year 7
* Year 8
The majority of parents will not be directly affected by the changes taking place in thecurrent enrolment system: however parents who have children enrolled for Year 6 in 2002
onwards will be affected by the change as there will be no Year 6 intake available after2001. In addition, due to the introduction of a Kindergarten at the College, there will beno Pre-primary intake after 2001: parents with children on waitlists for Pre-primary from
2002 onwards will therefore be approached by the College to discuss their options.
The introduction of a Kindergarten will enable the College to provide a specialist
programme for children who turn four before 30 September 2001. Both full-time andpart-time places will be available, and the programme will run from 8.30am to 3.00pm
five days a week. The Kindergarten will provide aflexible, nurturing environment for our youngestchildren and is a long-awaited and very
welcome development.
With increasing numbers of families deciding that
independent education is the way to go, pressure on placesavailable for students at All Saints', and indeed at other private
schools, is increasing. Although it is fortuitous that the addition
of the Aquatic Complex and the Learning Centre will enable usto offer more places at the College, this does not alter the factthat parents need to enrol their children as early as possible toensure a place. Parents who are in doubt about their options are
urged to contact Jill Green at the College as soon as possible.
Abi LeadbetterCommunity Relations and Enrolments Officer
The opportunity to provide our students with an improved learning environment is one ofthe most important benefits arising from the new Aquatic Complex and the Year 12
Learning Centre. Another benefit for parents with children on our waitlist is that in 2001,
Year 12 students will move into the newly-created Learning Centre, freeing up classroomspace throughout the College. This will allow us to house an increased number of yeargroups while reducing individual class sizes.
2001 will be a unique year in terms of enrolments, with more individual intake years thanis usually the case. This will also be the last year in which there will be an intake for Preprimary and Year 6 students.

Italy, its people and the Italian language have been a
passion of mine since my first visit there as a little girl. I
must admit that after seven tours, the sightseeing has
become somewhat repetitive and less exciting for me. Thesetrips, however, are not intended for me, and seeing the
expressions of excitement and awe on the faces of my students
as they see and experience new things gives me a thrill everysingle time.
This is not a simple tour of Italy. I know Italy like the back of my
hand and I try to show my students aspects of Italy and Italian
life that the average tourist would not be able to experience. Thetour is five hectic weeks jam-packed with everything I can
possibly fit in. I don't waste a minute, because I want mystudents to see and experience as much of thiswonderful country as possible. We spend two anda half weeks doing extensive touring from as far
north as the Austrian border down to the island
of Capri, but we go off the beaten track and mix
with the locals, because I want the students to seeItaly through eyes other than those of a normal
tourist. We stay in small family-run hotels in theheart of every city visited so that they can be at
the hub of the action.
Food is a very important aspect of Italian life. You can't go to
Italy and eat quick meals on the go if you want to live the real
experience. We have lunch and dinner in restaurants, trying veryhard to avoid touristy ones at all costs. No tourist menus for my
tours! We choose a la carte from the menu and I encourage the
students to try differentregional specialties. The
staff of each restaurantare instructed 'If they
don't speak Italian, theydon't eat'.
ALL SAINTS'
Study Tour to
Two and a half weeks are spent with hostfamilies, giving students the chance to become
members of the family and experience the
warmth and generous hospitality of the Italianpeople first hand.
The greatest joy of all for me is when my
students return home sharing my passion andenthusiasm for Italy. We are very isolated here in
Perth, and every tour results in a small group of
young Australians with a love and understanding for another
country and an.other people. They learn and experience thingsthat could never be learned in a classroom, things that will last
in their memories longer than anything I will ever teach them at
school. I am so very happy to be able to share and be a part ofsuch an experience with these young people.

Our time ended with a final morning of skiing for someand frantic packing for others. We then began our final
trek back to Melbourne, spending a night at the VictoriaHotel. The final day of Ski Trip '99 was spent shopping(again) before seeing Dundy's Carlton Bluebaggers beingslaughtered by the Bombers at the MCG.

lucky as Falls Creek was one of the only resorts withquality runs still open.
Over the next five and a half days, the All Saints'
contingent of forty-five got to know the slopes prettywell, skiing runs such as 'Panorama', 'Main Street' and'Ruined Castle' as often as possible. Falls were
commonplace, particularly as some people became moreadventu rous.
At night we kicked up our feet at the lodge, shootingpool and lounging by the wood fire. A particularlymemorable night was our Christmas in July, completewith a visit from Santa 'Molly' Claus himself.
The skiing and snowboarding got better as the days flew
by, with the weather ranging from rain and fog tobrilliant sunshine. The injury list mounted too - kneesand ankles ranking with cold and 'flu as the mostpopular ailments.
Ski Trip '99 began (for nearlyall of us) at Perth Airportlate on Friday 9 July. The

highlights of the CBD, culminating at the monolith thatis the Crown Casino, where we picked up a few stragglersto complete the Ski Trip cohort. The rest of our day was
spent shopping at the Victoria Markets and MelbourneCentral before reboarding our tour bus bound for anovernight stay in Whippy's home town of Benella, enroute to Falls Creek.
The initial impression of our winter wonderland was'Where's all the snow?'. Indeed, we had some of the
worst conditions that the Victorian resorts had
experienced in many years. Having said that, we were

On Day 2, Murdoch staff Dr David Ralph, Mrs Christine Creagh and MsFiona Scarff ran special hands-on activities such as fun with dry ice,lasers and saving honeyeaters from extinction.
Day 1 involved an excursion to Murdoch University to see the solar
energy research facility (including a ride on a solar bike). Students weretaken through the greenhouses and took a close-up look at a mosquitothrough the scanning electron microscope. After a barbecue hosted by
the Physics and Chemistry Departments at Murdoch, students spent theafternoon in the laboratories carrying out experiments.
Science School ofIt is not easy to get students to attend school during their holidays. ChalIen~eHowever twenty-nine Year 9 and 10 students attended a special scienceprogramme run over three days immediately after the official close ofTerm 2. Run by All Saints' teacher Paul McMahon, students had to work in groups
as special agents, using science to solve murders concerning national
security by communicating with ASIO controllers via email.
We then travelled back up to Tokyo for a two-week stay in a Japanese home with hoststudents from Otsuma Nakano Girls' School. While in Tokyo, we visited Tokyo Disneyland,Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sea Life Aquarium. Some students were fortunate enough to be taken
to Shizuoka to see Mount Fuji - and one student was treated to the ever-popular Japanesepastime of going to see a baseball match.

Ten students from Years la, 11 and 12 participated in this year's All Saints' College LanguageTour to Japan. The first week of the tour involved travelling by bullet train to Hiroshima,Kyoto and Nara. Highlights included the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic BombDome, the Peace Museum, Miyajima Island, Kyoto's beautiful temples, shrines and castles, andNara Deer Park.
The trip was a great success, and the tears at Narita Airport were heartfelt. Many thanks to
Kylie Sydney and Let's Go Australia for their great organisation of the trip.
While at Otsuma Nakano Girls' School, the students participated in cooking, calligraphy and
flower-arranging classes, along with Japanese language and literature and biology classes.
They also attended extracurricular clubs with their host students.

course .. for parent..During Term 2, Year 9 parents were invited toattend a drug information course comprisingtwo nightly sessions in the Sambell Centre.Coordinated by Neil Collins and myself, thiscourse is designed as a preventative initiativeand runs in conjunction with the Year 9 HealthEducation 'Drugs' unit. The course aims toprovide parents with information and skills toprevent and/or reduce the occurrence ofharmful drug use within the family. It alsorecognises that parents may need informationand assistance on how to intervene in theirchildren's drug use behaviour.
Fifty-seven parents attended the weekly sessions.College Principal Tony London presented thedraft drugs policy for review, and Liz McNevinfrom the Palmerston Association presented druginformation to a receptive audience.
All Saints' College attempts to adopt a wholeschool approach to drug education throughHealth Week, parent information nights, arelevant and comprehensive health educationprogramme, a school health policy andl!ffective use of student health services. Thiswhole-school approach seems to be the mosteffective way to reduce drug-related harmamongst school-aged children.
Another Drugs in Perspective course will be runfor Year 9 parents in 2000.

Dance Week
In the third week of Term 2, All Saints' celebrated Dance Week.Throughout the week, various events were held to allow studentsto experience this performance art. Lunchtime workshops wereconducted by Year 11 and 12 Dance Studies students in the genresof modern, tap and flamenco dance. Many students made themost of this opportunity to explore different movement styles.
The week culminated in a lunchtime performance highlightingthe talent of dancers at the College. Around 300 audience
members enjoyed a mixture of jazz, Irish, modern, ritualistic
and hip hop.
South-west Dance Festival
Each year, students from All Saints' College dance classesparticipate in the ACHPER Dance Festivals, held at the OctagonTheatre. This year, the festival was held on June 22 and 23 andincluded many schools from the south-west metropolitan area.
The festival aims to provide students with the opportunity toperform in a technical theatre in front of 800 people. It is nota com petition, but rather a celebration of youthful dancers.
All Saints' had six items including the Year 9 and Year 10Dance groups, Year 10 Extracurricular Dance (taught by Year
12 student Talei Longbottoml, and a group of Year 11 girls andtwo notable Year 12 boys. The students performed wonderfullyand were a credit to the College. Congratulations!
Special thanks go to staff members Brett Roberts, ElizabethBowyer and Ellen Beemster for their fantastic support.

Ready Steady Cook
Home Economics teachers Ellen Beemster and Belinda Bowater decided to organise a'cook-off based on an English television programme called 'Ready Steady Cook'. The
two chefs (alias Richard Baillie and Mr Stapleton) were each provided with a set of
ingredients selected by pupils experienced in food preparation and costing no morethan $10. Danielle Synen (Year 9) thought she had come up with a challenge forRichard by providing him with chicken, pate, pastry, chocolate and prunes. This unusualcombination did not, however, phase Chef Baillie.
Who is the better cook: Year 12 student Richard Baillie or Director of Finance and
Community Relations and history teacher Mark Stapleton? This was the question oneveryone's lips recently.
Sceptical glances from student assistants Georgir Cook and DOn/elleSynen did nothing to dent the culinary bravado of Mark Stopleton(left). Richard Baillie (right) remained quietly confident in the shadowof the showman and produced by far the better dish.
Georgie Cook (Year 11), on the other hand, had the (pretty doubtful) pleasure ofselecting ingredients for Mark Stapleton, and she certainly endeavoured to make it
complicated for him. She provided him with a range of yellow foods including lemon,
squash, lemon butter, pasta and - for a bit of colour - lOOs and 1000s and spray cream.To everyone's surprise Chef Stapleton did create a fairly presentable al dente spaghettidish with squash and limon ala creme.
It was Master Chef Baillie, however, who stole the show, with his chicken, pate andprune-filled pastry. Despite the audience's initial scepticism, he definitely won this
culinary battle. The audience even voted with their mouths: they were keen to finishevery last bite of the dish. No one was too keen on the pasta, however - especially asChef Stapleton had managed to drop half of it down the sink while draining it...
This was lots of fun, and we'd like to thank everyone who came and supported ourbrave chefs at the inaugural College 'Ready, Steady Cook'.

Did you know????
• Potatoes are one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables.
• The Nadine potato is considered to be the 'E/le' of potatoes. It
looks great but is not the most versatile potato available...
• All potatoes are date-tagged to indicate the packing date.
The Year 11 Food Technology students know all this and more especially after they participated in a presentation given byJosephine Farley from Western Potatoes, during which theylearned many amazing facts about the versatile potato.
Mrs Farley's enthusiastic approach had the students captivated.Plenty of potato recipes and potato tasting was the order of the
day, and the students left - arms full of recipes, a potato
microwave, an apron and a fridge magnet - having thoroughlyenjoyed the presentation. Most importantly, however, somestudents planned to go home and actually prepare themselves a
quick and tasty snack in their potato microwaver!

All Saints' College has a long association wi h the STS (Sail Training Ship)Leeuwin and the Sail Training Association of Western Australia. We were afoundation member of the association, joining in 1985 - the year before itsofficial launch.
The words 'teamwork, leadership, resourcefulness, self-reliance, problemsolving, communication and self-discipline' in the Leeuwin brochure echo thequalities we encourage in All Saints' students. Leeuwin ocean voyages are not
holidays but lifetime experiences. Students learn how to sail the vessel, and inthe process they learn about themselves and how to relate to others.
The Parents & Friends' Society has sponsored several All Saints' students on a
Leeuwin ocean adventure voyage. Students who are sponsored are selected by
a College committee of the Heads of Houses and other Senior Academic staffand then recommended to the P&F for support. The P&F is prepared to sponsorone student each year. The students selected to go on these voyages havebeen able to develop their confidence and leadership skills, and several of themhave gone on to take leadership roles in their Houses. Students sponsored bythe Parents & Friends' include Damien Crane, Matthew Holden and AllanPayne (1991); Adrian Maynier (1995); Joshua Smithson (1996); Amy Tyers(1997); Richard Tyrrell (1998).
Serena Blackney and Jane Gates were selected to participate in YouthLeadership Training Voyages on STS Leeuwin sponsored by the StateGovernment in 1998 and 1999 respectively. (Serena has already been on hervoyage, and Jane's is scheduled for August.) Shannon Davies (Year 12)
received sponsorship from both the State Government and Applecross Rotary,
and several other students have gone on the Leeuwin under their own steam.
A Leeuwin voyage was also offered as an option on one occasion duringCamp Week. All in all, the College has maintained a steady stream of studentson the Leeuwin in the years since 1985.
The Leeuwin is an outstanding resource staffed and run by a dedicated teamof professionals, and we are delighted to have had such a long and successfulrelationship with the ship.

Senior SchoolThe Senior Library runs a variety of literature promotion reading programmes, mainly with lower secondary
students. These programmes are designed to encourage students to develop sound reading habits, read a wide
range of texts, enjoy reading and increase their concentration span. The programmes are planned in
collaboration with the English Department and are incorporated into English coursework.
RIBITRIBIT (Read In Bed It's Terrific) is the programme enjoyed by the Year 8s. They are encouraged to read a wide
selection of books from a specific collection, with the emphasis on reading in bed for at least five nights a
week. Incentives such as certificates and chocolate frogs encourage them to reach particular reading
milestones.
AudiocassettesIn Semester I we began
collecting a number of
popular print texts in audiocassette format, and these have been used successfully with the Year 11 Senior
English class. As the collection grows, the cassettes will be used in all the reading programmes, to encourage
those students who find it difficult to 'get into' a book to enjoy listening to it and then continue the story byreading the novel.
Without the cooperation of the English teachers, these reading programmes would not be possible. This kind of
crosscurricular cooperation is particularly effective and benefits students in many different ways.

responded enthusiastically and many books were

were eventually displayed on a memory mat. Many children talked abouttheir 'Poppy' or 'Nanny' and the things they do together, which led themto investigations into the 'olden days' which coincided with Foundation

This year I am a residential adviser at a house owned by Agricola College. That means that I am responsible for ensuringthe civilised behaviour of four slightly feral, rarely studious, loud, silly, blokey engineering students, most of whom are
older than me. This is almost kind of fun, but at times seems slightly surreal.
Currently I am enrolled in the final year of a bachelor of engineering at the WA School of Mines in Kalgoorlie. During
the summer breaks I have worked at several different mining operations: open-cut iron ore in the Pilbarra, underground
copper-uranium in South Australia, and open-cut nickel at Mt Keith. During two of the winter breaks I went onuniversity field trips to Canada and eastern Europe. These were fascinating, great fun, and accidentally taught me
something about mining in other parts of the world. (I'm sure this wasn't the intention.)
I've just bought a house with my fiancee Sue, and we're busy planning for
our wedding in December. We hope to travel a bit more and take time out toenjoy our youth before embarking on having a family and definitive careers.
I'd previously enrolled in engineering and deferred for a year, but after doing
an introductory course at the local university in Southern California, I decidedit wasn't for me. So on my return, I did a year of science and then enrolled in
medicine at UWA. I lived at St Columba Residential College, over the road
from UWA, for several of my undergraduate years and thoroughly recommendit to anyone. I graduated in 1995 and am now working as a medical registrar
at Royal Perth Hospital and studying for higher qualifications.
