Bathurst Show - Agriculture Report
22 May, 2012
This year’s Bathurst Show was a very successful venture for our cattle team, walking away with seven ribbons in total. I would firstly like to thank, Aimy Butt, Gabby Elias, Emily Sinderberry and Lily McClelland for their tremendous effort over the weekend.
On the Friday the cattle were groomed and presented for judging within their individual breeds and age grounds, there result are as follows:
2nd - Angus heifer under 12 months.
2nd - Angus heifer under 24 months.
3rd - Angus heifer under 12 months.
3rd - Angus heifer under 24 months.
These were smaller classes than we had seen at previous Shows, but the two heifers that beat our cattle went on to claim, Supreme Champion and Reserve Grand Champion, so it was a very tough competition.
Saturday was a chance for the students to compete for both Junior Paraders and Junior Judging. It is very rewarding to observe the improvements in the students over the past four months. Their effort and commitment was clearly visible and all that participated should be extremely proud of their success. Results for the weekend are as follows:
1st - Lily McClelland Intermediate Paraders heat.
4th - Lily McClelland Intermediate Paraders overall.
4th - Gabby Elias Intermediate Paraders heat.
3rd - Gabby Elias Intermediate Junior Judging.
The students’ commitment to the team has been exceptional; they have spent numerous amounts of hours preparing the cattle for the Show. Through their preparation and participation at a number of Shows they have demonstrated many skills and developed a sound knowledge in the area of cattle husbandry. They have established an understanding of the correct procedure for handling the animals, have developed high levels of skills in parading large beasts, and have demonstrated their ability to identify good genetics in a variety of cattle breeds through their junior judging.
Emily Sinderberry, Gabby Elias, Alice Woodlock, Shaun Van Uum and Laura Van Uum competed in the Young Country Achievers Award that was comprised of three sections - literature, interview and practical section. Again the All Saints’ students performed very well and were seen around the showground participating and assisting in many events.
Young Achievers Awards are as follow:
Ist - Alice Woodlock: literature.
3rd - Alice Woodlock overall.
3rd - Laura Van Uum: literature.
Highly commended: Shaun Van Uum, Emily Sinderberry and Gabby Elias
Alice Woodlock also managed to find the time to participate in the Sheep Judging, receiving third place in Wool Breed Sheep Judging and took out the title for intermediate Meat Breed Judging.

Annual Showjumping Day (2012)
21 May, 2012
On Sunday, 20th May, All Saints’ College hosted its third annual Showjumping Competition. Two showjumping arenas were operating in the lovely grounds of the College on what was a magnificent autumn day.
This year’s event attracted 70 students from schools in the Bathurst area as well as from Central Western Districts and beyond. The competition catered for less experienced or younger riders competing over the entry height of 45 cm, right up to the 110cm class which pushed the high level riders and their mounts to their limits.
All competitors ranging from Kindergarten to Year 12 were competing for the coveted title of “Champion Rider” over three different events. This year’s competition again consisted of the AM7, A2 and Power and Speed events which are a dress rehearsal for the Showjumping programme at the upcoming North West Equestrian Expo which will be held in Coonabarabran in two weeks time.
The All Saints’ Equestrian Team are also very proud of their newest and youngest rider’s from the Junior School - Millicent Couples, Megan Redpath, Kirrily Edwards and Sara Reynolds - who competed in their first interschool showjumping competition. The girls had been working very hard, training every week to be ready for the big day.

Dubbo Beef Spectacular
21 May, 2012
On March 13th, nine students, Vincent Buursen (Gappie/Watson tutor) and myself made the trip to Dubbo to attend the annual Beef Spectacular. The Beef Spectacular is a show reserved for cattle only and is an opportunity for local stud farms to prepare and present their best cattle for show, with the hope of taking out grand champion within their respective classes.
It was a three day show that involved both the students and our cattle under the scrutiny of the judge. Students departed early Tuesday morning along with our four Angus heifers that had been kindly donated by Sarah Wrigley’s family, from the property Moogenilla in Condobolin. Once the students and cattle made it safely to the showground, the cattle had to be washed, groomed and made as comfortable as they could be in their designated stalls.
The next two days were competition days. The students were first to compete in the Junior Handlers classes. Although our students were beaten by much more experienced handlers I was extremely proud of their efforts. Their ability to present the cattle as best as possible and also present themselves in a mature and confidant manner was phenomenal.
The cattle then were placed in age groups and judged alongside a number of other breeds. This was a very competitive class and again animals were presented perfectly and the students should be extremely proud of the improvements made over Term 1. The second day of competition was individual breed classes. Our cattle were placed in two classes based on age and again we were up against a very competitive group with large numbers. Unfortunately our cattle were out-beaten by other local Angus breeders.
The students were also unknowingly entered in the Herdsmanship Award. All students who attended the show were under the watchful eye of eight judges that observed and took note on the students’ behaviour, the way they were presented, how they cared for their cattle at the show, and their general disposition when competing. Alice Woodlock received third place in the Herdsmanship Award - there were 75 other students in her class so this is a great achievement and Alice should be extremely proud of her efforts over the three days. Alice also competed in a Junior Judging Competition on the third day. You had to be invited to this completion as it was a final heat for Sydney Royal. Due to Alice’s attendance and achievements at previous shows in the year, she was given the opportunity to compete for a place at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. As part of the junior judging Alice completed three sections - sheep fleece judging, sheep wool breed judging and sheep meat breed judging. The competition ran between 9.00am and 1.00pm, with many hours in the sun. After the competition was over Alice walked away with two thirds and a second, which she should be commended on a great achievement. Her second place in the Meat Breed Judging qualified her for The Sydney Royal Easter Show.
After the Beef Spectacular the cattle team and I were busy organising the cattle for Bathurst Show on the weekend of 27th-29th April. We again packed up our gear and make the short trip to the showground, where we competed on the Friday and Saturday. The Equine team also competed over the weekend at the Show.

19 May, 2012
This year we had four of our very talented swimmers, Alanna Bankovic, Kaitlin Colwell, Jacque Terry and Isabella Marshall, attend the CIS Swimming Carnival held at Homebush. It has been a while since All Saints’ College has had so much depth in one particular age group. So whilst exciting, it was no real surprise to see the girls succeed at ISA enabling them to compete at the CIS Championships in the Junior Girls 4x50m relay.
The girls were all fortunate enough to have family representatives attend the carnival to provide those comforting words of encouragement prior to their race. The girls swam a very impressive 2.06.93 minutes which placed them 7th overall.
Whilst three of the girls left the Aquatic Centre and made their way home, Alanna started mentally preparing for her three individual events to be held the next day.
Alanna, our very talented, yet quiet achiever was successful in the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle and 50m breaststroke at ISA meaning she would compete in these events in addition to the relay at CIS. Whilst I wasn’t there to witness her events, it is without a doubt Alanna swam with great determination and finesse. She should be incredibly proud of her sizzling times and overall places - 50m freestyle 30.61 (12th/18); 100m freestyle 40.48 (10th /15) and 50m breaststroke 1.09.35 (12th/15).
Congratulations girls on a very successful season of swimming.
