All Saints' College is a private Anglican coeducational school in Bull Creek, a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
The school is situated ten kilometres south of the Perth CBD on 19 hectares (47 acres) of land. It was founded in 1981, the first coeducational Anglican secondary school in the Perth metropolitan area and the first Anglican secondary school in the southern suburbs, and now caters for students from pre-kindergarten to year 12/13.
Planning for the college began in 1979, and the first enrolment was accepted in that year. Construction began in 1980 and the first classes were held in 1981. Initially the college had approximately 100 students, in years 7 and 8.
The college chapel was built in 1989, and the junior school in 1992. The swimming pool and learning centre were added in 2001. A student gathering area named The Common was installed in 2008.
In late 2009, the college adopted a new logo, which was used from 2010 onwards.
A new indoor sports centre was completed in August 2010.
During 2010, the senior school library was expanded, re-opening at the start of the 2011 academic year.
A new performing arts theatre was built in 2012, and opened in 2013.
The junior school facilities include music rooms, an art complex, a library, computing facilities, an enrichment centre and a theatre.
Year 8 students take part in a peer support programme that helps them to make the transition to senior school. Year 11 students are given training for a mentoring role in a peer support programme that has been operating for several years.
The year 12/13 learning centre was the first of its kind in Australia. The three-storey building comprises classrooms, laboratories and student amenities. Every room has air-conditioning, television and video and is online, with both wireless and wired network technology. The ground floor features an independent learning area with study carrels and computers, a quiet study room and a student common room.
The college has a pastoral house system with six houses, named after Western Australian historical figures. The houses are:
