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 19ha, approximately 100NaN0 south of the Perth central business district.[5]
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.
Planning for the college began in 1979,[6] [7] and the first enrolment was accepted in that year. Construction began in 1980 and the first classes were held in 1981. Initially the college had approximately 100 students, in years 7 and 8.[8]
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.[10]
In late 2009, the college adopted a new logo.[11]
A new indoor sports centre was completed in August 2010.[12] [13] During 2010, the senior school library was expanded, re-opening at the start of the 2011 academic year.[14] [15]
A new performing arts theatre was built in 2012, and opened in 2013.[16] [17] [18]
The junior school facilities include music rooms, an art complex, a library, computing facilities, an enrichment centre and a theatre.
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.[19]
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]
The college has a pastoral house system with six houses, named after Western Australian historical figures.[21] 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.[22]
Between 1993 and 2011, the junior school had separate houses: Bussell, Drummond, Molloy and Riley.[23] In 2012, these houses were disbanded and the students transferred to the same houses as the senior school.[24]
The Former Students' Association is a group of former students established in 1986.[25] 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.[26]
