From the Headmaster . . .
                              I wish to congratulate the Netball and Hockey teams who represented the
                              two schools in Grand Finals last Saturday. In all the two schools participated
                              in seven Grand Finals with four wins. Congratulations to the following teams
                              who are premiers in their respective grades:

                              Scots All Saints College First XI Hockey
                              All Saints Beagles 12 Years Division Netball
                              Scots Littlebourne 16s Division Netball
                              Scots First VII Netball

                              The following teams are to be congratulated for making the Grand final and
                              putting up a great fight:

                              All Saints’ College Colts
                              Scots Lee 14s
                              Scots O’Connell 16s

The following teams received recognition for scoring the most points during the season across the whole
Junior and Senior Netball Competition respectively. The 12 Years All Saints’ Beagles scored the most goals in
the Junior Netball Competition and the Scots First VII scored the most goals in the Senior Women’s
Competition.

Zoe Lewis from All Saints’ College was presented with the Rachel Jones Memorial Award in recognition of
her commitment to representative netball.

Two staff, one from each school, were recognized for their outstanding commitment to Bathurst Netball:

Mrs Kay Nelson from All Saints’ College was granted life membership to the Bathurst Netball Association for
her dedication over the last 24 years to Netball at All Saints’ College and in Bathurst.

Mr Justin Adams from The Scots School received the Kathy Keech Striving for Excellence - Coaching Award
for 2018. This was in recognition for his 15 years of dedicated service to coaching netball at Scots.

It is my great pleasure to formally announce the Prefects and House Captains at Scots All Saints College
for the 2019 year. These appointments were announced at today’s All Saints’ College Benefactors’ Service
and at the Senior School Assembly at The Scots School.

It was my great delight to join with the All Saints’ College community at today’s Benefactors’ Service at All
Saints’ Cathedral. It was a truly wonderful service which recognised the founders of All Saints College and
reflected on this significant moment in history for the College. I wish to thank Mr Christopher Morgan for his
outstanding address which caused us all to pause and give thanks for all that has gone before and to also look
forward with great optimism as two wonderful schools come together in 2019.

I also wish to acknowledge the very thoughtful and sincere speech from two representatives from Year 12 of 2018.
Bethany McCumstie and Declan Duncan-Keen were outstanding in the reflection provided and the genuine gratitude
they felt to the staff. Similarly, I wish to thank Mr Greg Jones for his address to Year 12. He provided much wise
advice to them whilst also acknowledging their outstanding character as a year group and contribution to the
college over many years.

The Scots School Valedictory Assembly on Friday afternoon and the Valedictory Dinner on Friday night will
provide a similar opportunity for students and staff to reflect and give thanks for the graduating Year 12 of 2018.

I would like to wish Year 12 from both schools all the best for their study vacation and HSC Examinations
in three weeks’ time. I am grateful for their leadership of the two schools as the senior year group and for their
contribution to the life of the school in its many facets. I particularly wish to acknowledge the outstanding leadership
of our School Captains Georgia Poole and Charlie O’Neill at All Saints’ College and Emily Watts and Ben Dickenson
at The Scots School. They have led their schools with tremendous integrity of character. I look forward to celebrating
with Year 12 and their families following the HSC Examinations on Saturday 10 November.

I wish all students, staff and families all the best for the Mid Semester break over the next two weeks.

Integration Update
Integration Update #18 - 27 September 2018

Term 3 has been significant in the progress of the formation of Scots All Saints College in preparation for 2019. We thank
you for your support and for coming along the journey of what is going to be a very exciting time in the life of our students
and our new College.
Behind the scenes, the College Council, Executive Leaders and our team of dedicated staff continue to work collaboratively
with external consultants to review processes, policies, systems and structures to be ready for the new school year. We aim
to keep you updated with information as our transition gains momentum.
Here are a few important dates and events for your diary:

Stepping Through The HSC

As students in Year 11 (Year 12 2019) are moving into their HSC year with Scots All Saints College in Term 4, we
will be conducting an evening entitled ‘Stepping through the HSC’ on Monday, 15th October 2018 at 7:00pm
in the Aikman Hall at the Scots Campus. The purpose of this seminar is for both students and parents to find out a
little more about the HSC, expectations and life beyond Scots All Saints College.

It is envisaged that topics to be covered will include:

*         Assessments
*         The Trial HSC
*         HSC Examination
*         What to do if “things” go wrong
*         University
*         Planning
*         Priorities
*         Expectations

Year 11 students are required to be present and parents are encouraged to attend, as the evening will be beneficial
for all.

We feel that this is the most immediate priority as we set Year 11 on their way into their HSC year.

Senior School Information Session

The planned Senior School Information Session, which will provide information for all current and prospective
students in Year 8-11 (Year 9-12, 2019), will take place on Friday, 26 October, Aikman Hall on the Scots

The Duke of Edinburgh Award Update
Year 9 Bronze Participants
Most students should now be finalising their sections for their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award (“the Award”). In
order to complete the Award, students will need to have logged all the required hours on the Online Record Book
and then emailed the final report to their Assessor for the activity. The Assessor will complete a short report
indicating that you have completed all required hours and have achieved the goal you set with them at the beginning
of the Award. The completed and signed report will then be sent to Mr Harris by email, or in hard copy, and be
approved by both the school and the International Duke of Edinburgh Award Office.

As I have indicated previously, I encourage you to download the “ORB Participant” App from the Apple Store or
Google Play. It is a very convenient way to keep track of your Award progress and to log your hours. Please see Mr
Harris, Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator, if you have any questions.

4-Day, Year 9 Bronze Canoe – Kangaroo Valley
It is extremely exciting that Year 9 this year will have the opportunity to undertake a 4-day canoe in the Kangaroo
Valley, in Week 3 of Term 4. This trip forms part of the schools compulsory Outdoor Education program but also
will fulfil the requirements for obtaining the Adventurous Journey section of the Bronze Award. Notes have now
been sent home via email and with students, so please contact Mr Harris or Mr Duane Bailey (Year Coordinator),
if you have not received a copy.

Students will learn canoe skills, camp craft, safety on the water, navigation and a sense of adventure. It will be a
real highlight for the year and for their time at school.

If you have any questions about the Duke of Edinburgh Award or the upcoming Canoe Trip, please contact Mr
Harris on 02 6331 2766 or via email charris@scots.nsw.edu.au.
Thank you,
Mr Harris (Year 12 Coordinator)

Junior Soccer Reports
Under 7s
In our last game of the season, the Blues played the Cubs. The Blues were slow to start in the first half and this
enabled the opposition to score rapidly throughout the half. Eventually, the team clicked into gear and lifted for the
remainder of the game. Strong performances from Jackson, Lelia and Rory enabled some goals to be scored. Elsie
lifted and stopped an opposition goal with some great defensive work. Sebastian was physical in his defensive
work as well with some great tackling. The Blues have come a long way since the beginning of the season and have
improved their skills whilst learning to work as a team. I commend all the players for their commitment each week
to both trainings and games. Well done.

Under 8s Spurs
Mr Hemsworth joined us for the final game of the season and it was great to celebrate the season with a strong
performance and nice, little ceremony at the end of the game. Elleesa made some of the greatest saves of the
season as goal- keeper in the first half. Collegians fired some powerful shots at her and she managed to save them
on several occasions. The Spurs worked hard in defense and played safely towards the sidelines when under
pressure. Every player should be proud of their achievements and improvement throughout the season. I hope all
players enjoyed themselves and will return to the field next year. Thank you to all the parents who supported each
week on the sidelines.

Hockey . . . Grand Finals
Back-to-back-to-back!
The 1sts hockey made it three grand final wins in a row with a dominant and clinical display
against Souths. In the first minute of play Bridget Ellis scored off a penalty corner. After 10
minutes it was 2-0 through a goal to Sophie Hillsdon. The pressure was relentlessly applied as
Hannah Kable scored twice before half time for a 4-0 lead. Conscience of the goal scoring
capacity of the opposition, the girls ratchetted up a notch at the start of the second half and two
more goals to Hannah created an unassailable 6-0 lead with 20 minutes to go. Souths scored a
consolation goal with 12 to go but Hannah put the icing on the cake with her 5th goal of the
grand final with 2 minutes to go. The final score line of 7-1 was thoroughly deserved, given the
superb team hockey that the girls displayed. Every single player made a vital contribution to the
season and the grand final win. Clare Mawhood was again rock solid in defence, while Bridget
was steady in midfield. Sami Porter fought through pain to create many opportunities. Rosie
Webb was busy creating distractions and making space for the rampant Hannah Kable. The rock
and foundation, as always, was the Corbett-Jones twins who simply would not have allowed the
opposition to win. Their swooping cover defence will be a lasting memory. A large crowd of
supporters, many first time hockey watchers, left very satisfied with a classy victory with a new
respect for this talented bunch of athletes.

With that victory, All Saints’ has contested 13 grand finals in 8 seasons. Of those, the girls have
won a remarkable 12 titles. Of those titles, Sophie Hillsdon, Callie Molkentin and Kate Hodges
have one each; Ellen Morris, Simone Gardner and Hannah Kable have two each; Emma
Harrison has three; Gabi Burge has five; Rose Denovan and Bridget Ellis have six each; Natalia
Burgess has seven; Lucy and Rachel Corbett-Jones have won ten from eleven attempts; and
Sami Porter has a remarkable ten from ten. While it was a continuation of the success of All
Saints’ Hockey it was also the dawning of a new era of Scots All Saints Hockey with Belinda
Kidd, Brooke Webb, Clare Mawhood, Mel Bateman, Olivia Warry, Rosie Webb being a vital
part of a terrific 1st XI grand final squad. The combination has turned a strong outfit into an
unbeatable outfit. This is a symbol of the good things that will (and have already) come from
the merging of these two great schools.

Further individual achievements were announced following the grand finals. Hockey
Association Awards were presented to Hannah Kable (Highest Achieving Player), Bella Taylor
(Runner Up Best and Fairest), Clare Mawhood (Runner Up Best and Fairest), and Bridget Ellis
(Encouragement Award). Bridget also received the district under 18 Team Award. Finally, Scots
All Saints College received the Club Championship for a remarkable 5th year in a row.

Most importantly, they are a great bunch of girls, in each of our hockey teams. It has been a
pleasure to be associated with another great season.
CRICKET . . . SCOTS ALL SAINTS COLLEGE -- First Fixture
SASC First XI
The first cricket fixture as Scots All Saints College took place with a trial match between the First XI and St Stanislaus
College First XI. After 40 overs, St Stanislaus had scored 204 runs, with several wickets having been taken by the SASC
bowlers, all of whom got at least one wicket each. Whilst the St Stanislaus bowlers had difficulty taking wickets, they did
succeed in keeping the run rate down.

The day was facilitated by a number of parents who assisted with scoring, barbecuing and preparing lunch, and the team
thanks them for their contribution. Mrs Cant’s jellies were very well received.

Scoring:    St Stanislaus 204
