Young People
The Church is always concerned for the education of young people in the Christian faith, through a knowledge of the Bible, the traditions of the Christian faith, a knowledge of the sacraments and participation in worship.
All Saints is setting up a program called 'Zero to Twenty' to provide a range of activities and organised engagement with those up to the age of 20.

Classic Kids
All Saints has a Sunday School, 'Classic Kids' which operates every Sunday during school term starting at 10.00 am. Classic Kids is for all primary school-aged children (5-12 years old) and provides a time of fellowship, biblical learning, song, and an introduction to some Latin and Greek.
We have tremendous fun, dressing up, making models and playing games. Boys and girls who join the choirs at All Saints will need to know some Latin, as well as how to read music. They will also need to understand the life of Jesus and the Bible stories about which they are singing. Classic Kids prepares children to join the choirs but is also open to all children, whether intending to sing in one of the All Saints choirs or not.
Led by Edwina Kabengele (mother of three, in kindergarten, primary and high school) we start at 10am in the beautiful gothic style room at the back of the church (come down the driveway to the back door). We enjoy 45 minutes of music, Latin, Bible stories and craft before returning to the church for the last 10 minutes of the Mass.
We use the "Minimus Latin" course which is full of fun activities for primary children.
In the future we would like to see many of our children continue with Latin to VCE level (where, for example, a study score of 30 can translate to a scaled up mark in the mid-40's (note that this varies each year)).
We teach music note reading and play games to develop a musical ear.
Our Bible stories and crafts are based on the church calendar (Saint Nicholas puppets at Christmas, releasing helium balloons for Ascension) and cover all the traditional favourites (Noah's Ark, Moses and the 10 commandments, the parable of the Loaves and the Fishes) as well as some less well known stories (Elijah fed by Ravens, Belshazzar's Feast).
Come along and have some fun on a Sunday morning. Younger children are also welcome, if a parent can come with them.
