• World Vision 40 Hour Famine.

  22 November, 2009

  In August, members of the College community took part in the World Vision 40 Hour Famine. Some students went without food for 40 Hours, others without
  technology, others without furniture, and others without talking!!
  
  $4,000 was raised towards the work of World Vision.
  
  Every student had the chance to get people to sponsor their endeavours.
  
  

  
  

  
  Anna Carter, Fiona Alamya, and Kate Sempell were the top organisers and they received recognition in a small way by receiving a T shirt.
  
  Well done everyone.

  With the change in the House system being introduced in 2010, Glover will no longer function as a girl's day house.
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  To remember all the experiences, fun, laughter and fellowship together, the girls celebrated with a special breakfast on Friday, 20th November.
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  Everyone enjoyed fruit and yoghurt and bacon and egg rolls under the trees near the Chapel.
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  All the girls have many special times to remember their days in Glover and took away a special momento of their time in together.
  
  

  
  

  
  Thank you to all the tutors who have worked so hard with the girls over the past 22 years.

• Rutherford House Christmas Party.

  21 November, 2009

  
  

  
  On Thursday, 19th November, Rutherford House girls played Secret Santa to each other and feasted on Christmas party food.
  
  While this was a joyous occasion it also marked the end of an era as Rutherford House will no longer exist with the new restructuring of the pastoral care houses in 2010.
  
  

  
  

  
  To mark this special occasion the girls received a water bottle marked with the Rutherford House Crest, shared the Rutherford House prayer and reminisced about House activities.

• Junior School Cricketers play on Watson Oval.

  21 November, 2009

  
  

  The hardball cricket team from the Junior School had the privilege of playing on the turf pitch on Watson Oval recently. The boys were hosting a match against Pittwater House and played a Twenty20 match after school.
  

  
  

  All Saints' won the toss and batted first scoring an excellent 95 runs from their allotted overs. Patrick Fisher top scored with a quick fire 20 retired, while Lachlan Wilkinson (14 not out), David Cant (11 not out) and Matthew Jackman (9) all contributed significantly to the total.
  

  

  
  

  Pittwater House batted as the shadows crept onto the oval and Baden Sinclair (2 wickets) andBen Griffin (4 wickets) tore through the heart of the opposition innings. Both boys were on a hat trick and delighted in seeing the ball move about on the grassed surface of the turf wicket. Lachlan McAloney, Adam Brew and Alexander Miller also bowled well and they each claimed a wicket. Will Armstrong and Sam Rosen were lively and enthusiastic in the field and Tom Card (our Captain) took an excellent catch at wicket keeper. Hugh Elbourne and Henry Morgan kindly played for Pittwater House with Hugh top scoring with 20 retired. Henry also batted and bowled well against his regular team mates and both boys should be commended on their sportsmanship.
  

  
  

  All Saints' managed to contain the Pittwater score to 42 after 20 overs and ran out deserved victors.

  At the conclusion of the match players from both teams enjoyed a barbecue dinner and were able to spend time getting to know one another. The boys thanked a number of people for organising the occasion including Mr and Mrs Morgan (representing Pittwater House) and a number of parents who organised the barbecue.

  It was certainly a treat for the boys to play on such a wonderful oval and I would like to thank Mr Charlie Hall and Mr Scott Gardner for giving the boys this fantastic opportunity.
