• All Saints' Day celebrations

  3 November, 2009

  
  
  On Sunday, 1st November, 50 boarders and 30 students from Year 3 and 4
  were at All Saints' Cathedral to celebrate All Saints' Day. It was the day after the Governor of New South Wales had officially opened the Bell Tower.
  
  The Year 3 and 4 choral students gathered in the new foyer, beneath
  the bells along with the Cathedral choir, the Bishop and his clergy for a prayer before the service began. The cathedral was packed and there was a sense or renewal as the community gathered to hear Scripture, pray and participate in the
  Sacrament of Holy Communion.
  
  The Year 3 and 4 students sang as an introit, during communion and at the benediction and the boarders lead the prayers. Many thanks to Mrs Crowley for her musical leadership.

• All Saints' 1st XV beaten by St Pats

  3 November, 2009

  All Saints' firsts travelled to St Pats Strathfield for Round 2 of their 2nd Division campaign and were soundly beaten but will learn from mistakes made during the match.
  
  The young All Saints' were in a dominant position at one stage with St Pats 7/131 after 35 overs, but St Pats were let off the hook to finish at 8/235. Innis Smith continues to improve with two wickets, while Cameron Watt bowled tightly to finish with 2/28 off 10 overs.
  
  A top order crash put paid to any chance of a win as All Saints' were reduced to 5/23, but in very mature effort, Year 7 student Michael Waldren (47) and all rounder Cameron Watt (30) added 60 runs to add respectability in a final tally of 123.
  
  The team will look to bounce back with their first home game against Chevalier this week. Improvements will be looked for in bowling and application in batting.
  

• Year 3 & 4 Choir at All Saints' Cathedral

  2 November, 2009

  On Sunday, students from Years 3 & 4 joined with the Cathedral congregation for the service marking All Saints' Day 2009.
  
  The first service held in the Cathedral following the opening of the bell tower (which incorporates a new cathedral entrance), the children gathered under the bells with Bishop Richard before the service began.
  
  The students sang three pieces during the service: an introit Praise to the Lord Our God, during communion, I Will Extol the Lord, and a blessing at the end, May the feet of God walk with you.

• All Saints' 1st XI vs St Pius

  28 October, 2009

  All Saints' began the new season with an away win against St Pius in the first round of the ISA 2nd Division Competition.
  
  This match was played with a very young side including six debutants.

  All Saints won the toss and sent opposition in. Max Hope took four early wickets to have St Pius in trouble at 6/26.
  
  Cameron Watt applied pressure at the other end without luck. An unfortunate series of dropped catches let St Pius back into the match for a final tally of 131 off 41 overs.
  
  

  Max Hope finished with 5/19 off 10 overs including two caught and bowled efforts, well supported by Bill Hurley 2/4 and Innes Smith also with two wickets in an impressive debut.
  
  

  All Saints' lost two early wickets in the chase, but a steadying partnership between Hope (48) and Bill Hurley (37) put All Saints' back in control, finishing their 50 overs at 9/181. Year 7 student Michael Waldren impressed on debut with 20 not out.
  
  

  Round 2 is away again at St Pats Strathfield who had a comfortable win against Chevalier in Round 1.
