ALL ABOUT THE SUPER SAINTS

FOR three decades, All Saints Anglican School has been educating some of the city’s most prolific athletes and academics.

From Olympian Giaan Rooney to international pop star Cody Simpson, the school, which recently celebrated its 31st anniversary, has established a reputation for producing hard working allrounders.

Just look at their 2017 OP results.

Head of Senior School Steve Wright said the graduating class achieved 14 OP1’s.

“Their commitment to their senior program, combined with their obvious talents, produced very pleasing OP results,” Steve said.

“To have 44 per cent of our OP eligible students in the OP 1-5 range, 74 per cent of them in the OP 1-10 range and 97 per cent OP1-15 is magnificent.”

Headmaster Patrick Wallas reflected on the school’s decades-long history.

“I wonder if all those extraordinary founding mothers and fathers who found a paddock and dreamt a school could possibly have imagined what it was they were creating,” Mr Wallas said.

“We have so much for which we should be grateful and so many people to thank.

“While the school has grown and changed, the values upon which it was founded still hold true today.”
