Dear Parents<br />

On Tuesday’s assembly,<br />

we celebrated last year’s<br />

academic achievements. It<br />

was wonderful to welcome<br />

back the graduating Year<br />

12s who received an OP<br />

score of five or better, and<br />

acknowledge those of the<br />

student body who achieved<br />

to a high standard in<br />

Semester 2 last year. Both<br />

Kiernan Tait (OP1) and<br />

A l e x M i o t t i ( O P 1 )<br />

addressed the assembly<br />

and provided inspiration as<br />

they encouraged our<br />

students to take every<br />

opportunity in striving to be<br />

the best.<br />

Mrs Johnston, Elliott Lewis (OP1), Alex Miotti (OP1), Brendon Le (OP1),<br />

Kiernan Tait (OP1) and Mr King cut the celebration cake after assembly.<br />

On assembly we also recognised the College’s 1 st XI cricket players and 1 st VI volleyballers, and<br />

congratulated this term’s sporting captains; Bailey Lavender is the 1 st XI captain and Teal Dovey and<br />

Tim Albion are 1 st VI co-captains. Although the teams are yet to be selected, Lachlan Carter was<br />

named as our swimming captain and Trevor Koreman our sailing captain. We wish all four captains<br />

and their respective teams, success for the season ahead.<br />

As we hit the sporting fields this week I encourage you to attend your sons’ games. Whether he is just<br />

starting his journey in Year 5 or an experienced campaigner in Year 12, the boys both appreciate and<br />

need the support of their loving parents.<br />

The College Parents and Friends had their first meeting of the year this week. It is a great forum to not<br />

only meet fellow parents but also discover a little more, of how Iona works. This year, at each meeting,<br />

a College Leadership Team (CLT) member will attend to share insights and challenges and listen to<br />

feedback regarding their respective area of responsibility. At next month’s meeting, Mrs Johnston and<br />

Mr Christie will attend to discuss possible changes to the College’s academic reporting system. This<br />

meeting on 2 March will provide you with the opportunity to have some input into this area and its<br />

future direction. I encourage you to attend, listen and share your wisdom.<br />

Last week I began elaborating on the values on which Iona College is based, the first of which is the<br />

centrality of the Eucharist in our lives. The second of these values is passion and zeal. Passion and<br />

zeal were insisted on by St Eugene de Mazenod for all those who worked with him. They were to<br />

“leave nothing undared” and burn with the same zeal for souls that was the driving force of his own life.<br />

St Eugene, like St Paul, abhorred timidity in his Oblates, “I have no use for smouldering wicks in this<br />

Society; I want you to burn, to give heat, to give light” (St Eugene to Oblate novices).<br />

Mr Ross King<br />

Acting Principal<br />

OBLATE TRIENNIUM<br />

Year 2:<br />

“A New Spirit:<br />

‘Lifelong Formation”<br />

Iona College is an Oblate school and as such is not just a place for the acquisition of knowledge,<br />

understanding and skills. It is a place that recognises the whole human person, particularly the<br />

spiritual person. For this reason it takes on an extra dimension in helping young people gain an<br />

understanding of themselves and their relationship with God, the world and others. The Iona College<br />

staff are charged with the same demand that St Eugene made upon his fellow Oblates, that is, work<br />

with passion and zeal. It is a tall order for our staff, all of whom have families and busy lives outside of<br />

their commitments to Iona. Thankfully, our teachers share St Eugene’s guiding priority. I am grateful<br />

that they willingly accept the responsibility and pressure that comes with being a passionate, caring<br />

and innovative teaching community.<br />

MR ROSS KING<br />

ACTING PRINCIPAL


STAFFING<br />

FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES<br />

Research shows that schools and teachers have a significant impact on<br />

students and their learning (Hattie 2003). Improving teacher<br />

effectiveness outweighs the impact of any other school education<br />

program or policy in improving student performance. For our students’<br />

sakes, it is important that our teachers have opportunities to engage in<br />

professional learning that leads to high teaching standards and<br />

improves student learning outcomes.<br />

With these beliefs in mind, this year Iona has implemented a new<br />

structure for teacher professional development, one which emphasises<br />

improving teacher quality, the development of highly effective teaching<br />

practices and the creation of a collaborative culture that promotes<br />

learning and growth for all students. By meeting fortnightly in small<br />

groups called professional growth teams (PGTs), teachers are provided<br />

with the framework to observe each other and provide constructive and<br />

meaningful dialogue around performance. Through our PGT program,<br />

our teachers are identifying growth areas, developing the quality of<br />

instruction and enhancing their already positive impact on our students<br />

and their educational outcomes.<br />

Mrs Deanne Johnston<br />

Dean of Staff<br />

FAITH AND MISSION<br />

CHARITABLE FUNDRAISING<br />

The concept of ‘mission’ is central to the Oblate spirituality. Each school<br />

term, Iona focuses on a specific mission activity in terms of our<br />

educational focus, our prayer and our fundraising.<br />

Term 1 focuses on the important work of Caritas, where we support<br />

Project Compassion. In Term 2 we support the good work of Rosies.<br />

Term 3 focuses on the Oblate Missions, and in Term 4 we mainly<br />

support the good work of the St Vincent de Paul Society through<br />

Christmas donations. A significant amount of funds and goods were<br />

raised last year to support these worthy causes. Additional to this,<br />

fundraising occurs on various smaller levels for several other worthwhile<br />

related causes. For example, the amount raised for the MAMI<br />

Christmas Card Appeal for Term 4 last year was $4,653.60.<br />

We commend the Iona community for its sense of mission and overall<br />

generosity towards the needy.<br />

THE HOLY FATHER’S RESOLUTIONS<br />

The Holy Father continues to inspire the faithful ‘in the spirit of St<br />

Francis’: accepting minority groups, embracing the poor, showing<br />

humanness, celebrating with the world’s youth, and drawing people to<br />

God.<br />

Described by Forbes<br />

Magazine as one of<br />

the four most influential<br />

people in the world,<br />

Pope Francis’ role is<br />

broad and complex<br />

and is not without its<br />

challenges. In all of<br />

this, his faith in God,<br />

his love for humanity<br />

and his sense of hope<br />

are inspiring to all.<br />

He is a good man<br />

doing God’s work in<br />

our contemporary<br />

world.<br />

Dean of Faith and Mission<br />

COMMUNITY NEWS<br />

YEAR 5 WELCOMED<br />

This week, at the school’s academic assembly, the student body and<br />

staff welcomed our new, year 5 cohort. Each class entered Oblate Hall<br />

from the back entrance and were lead to their seats to the applause of<br />

their fellow students. It is wonderful to see the older students so warmly<br />

welcoming the younger boys to our great school.<br />

WELCOME BBQ<br />

great numbers are planning to attend. The afternoon concludes at 5pm.<br />

LEARNING AND TEACHING<br />

ACADEMIC ASSEMBLY<br />

Tuesday’s Assembly was a case for real celebration as the College<br />

welcomed back our 2014 OP1 – 5 recipients for an academic assembly<br />

and morning tea. In addition to welcoming back these young men, the<br />

staff and student body congratulated four hundred and sixteen students<br />

on their Semester achievements. A list of these students is published<br />

on the following page.<br />

Kiernan Tait and Alex Miotti, two of our OP 1 students, addressed the<br />

students and emphasised a couple of important points. The first of these<br />

points was that being involved in a range of activities across the School<br />

could only be beneficial to an individual’s development. Participating in<br />

co-curricular activities, serving the wider community and being men of<br />

faith were all mentioned as being important in one’s academic success.<br />

The second point made was that having clearly considered goals were<br />

crucial in having direction. Both Kiernan and Alex urged the Year 12s of<br />

<strong>2015</strong> to set clear goals in order to achieve to their potential.<br />

The college community is not only proud of the success achieved so far<br />

by the <strong>2015</strong> cohort but we are also excited by what lies ahead for them.<br />

Following is a list of our OP1 – 5 graduates and their post-school<br />

destinations. All of the tertiary courses offered are subject to change<br />

YEAR 12 ACADEMIC INTERVIEWS<br />

In amongst the busyness of the two weeks of school, all Year 12s will<br />

have an academic interview with Ms Helen Murdoch, Ms Melissa<br />

Peacock, Mrs Johnston or me. It has been a great opportunity to<br />

discuss the students’ results so far, the academic goal they want to<br />

achieve this year, steps they will need to take to attain this goal and<br />

even where they want to be at this time next year.<br />

ACADEMIC MORNING TEA<br />

The first of two academic morning teas was held on Tuesday morning in<br />

IPAC with Year 10 and 12 academic award winners attending in the<br />

company of the OP 1 – 5 students of 2014 and their families. Next<br />

Tuesday, all Year 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 academic award winners will attend<br />

the second morning tea.<br />

On assembly I spoke of success being something that needs to be<br />

earned. I urge all of our students to find ways to achieve to their<br />

potential by commencing the year with a real positivity about their<br />

studies.<br />

Mr John Christie<br />

Acting Dean of Studies<br />

Congratulations to our 2014 OP1 – 5 recipients (photographed above).<br />

The young men and their families joined our Year 10 and 12 academic<br />

award winners in IPAC for morning tea on Tuesday.<br />

Please remember the following Iona families in your prayers as they<br />

mourn the recent passing of a loved one.<br />

† The Gardner, Dakin and L’Barrow families on the passing of Mrs<br />

Margaret Gardner, grandmother of Old Boy Paul Gardner, great<br />

grandmother of Lachlan L’Barrow (11MAC2), Scott L’Barrow<br />

(11MAC5) and Riley Dakin (9MAZ5).<br />

May she rest in the Lord’s everlasting peace.


MUSIC DEPARTMENT<br />

Our ensemble rehearsals commenced this week and our choirs<br />

welcomed back our singing students.<br />

Iona Boys Choir: meet every Thursday morning at 7.30am in<br />

Long Block 1 (Music Classroom). All year 5 and 6 students are<br />

welcome to come along, meet some friends and have some fun.<br />

Ionian Voices: meet every Thursday morning at 7.30am in<br />

Rehearsal Room 2. This is our non auditioned year 7-12 choir who<br />

enjoy singing along with the big boys. All are warmly welcomed.<br />

Ionian Singers: meet every Thursday morning at 7.30am<br />

in Rehearsal Room 1. ‘Singers’ is our only auditioned choir group<br />

and we welcome all boys who would like to audition for this choir.<br />

We also welcomed our year 5 students down to IPAC this week for<br />

‘Demo Day’. Our music team demonstrated a variety of instruments<br />

and discussed their options. The boys have all taken a preference<br />

form home to discuss their choices with families. We look forward to<br />

receiving them back by Monday 2 February. We will then send further<br />

information home as soon as possible. We look forward to an exciting<br />

year of music with our year 5s.<br />

As educators we are aware of the statistics, but I was reminded last<br />

weekend when I read the following in the weekend paper that music is<br />

really great for the personal development of young brains;<br />

‘Researchers at the University of Vermont College of Medicine<br />

analysed the brain scans of more than two hundred kids and found<br />

that musical training thickens (this is, improves) the part of the brain’s<br />

cortex that helps focus their attention, improve their memory, control<br />

their emotions and diminish their anxiety’. I am not surprised that a<br />

large number of our academic achievers at Iona are also music<br />

students.<br />

IONA COLLEGE YEARS 7—12 SPORTS INFORMATION<br />

IONA SPORT <strong>2015</strong><br />

LAST WEEK<br />

Over seven hundred and sixty boys played Iona sport last weekend and<br />

many thanks to coordinators, staff, the sports supporters, coaches/<br />

managers, parents and players. Approximately sixty-five coaches/managers<br />

helped get our teams organised for the opening weekend of sport. It is a<br />

large program and unfortunately, some players may have missed selection<br />

and some teams may not have had games—we are at times limited by field/<br />

court space as well as finding adequate opposition. Some opposing<br />

Colleges do not have the same number of teams as Iona and other large<br />

AIC Colleges, thus causing us to search for supplementary games. It is not<br />

an easy process.<br />

THIS WEEK<br />

The official AIC season begins this weekend with the majority of fixtures<br />

against St Patrick’s College, Shorncliffe. Inter house swim meets begin and<br />

our swim team ventures to St Peters, Indooroopilly for an eight college<br />

carnival. If a player is unavailable for a game for any reason, he must<br />

contact his coach or coordinator—never just not turn up.<br />

VOLLEYBALL<br />

Padua proved too strong for our youthful 1st VI. Our open teams will need to<br />

work harder to maintain our high standards of volleyball. The performance<br />

of our younger teams was typical of our youthful determination.<br />

RESULTS<br />

1st VI : lost 11A : won 10A : won 9A : won 8A : won 7A : won<br />

2nd VI : lost 11B : lost 10B : lost 9B : won 8B : won 7B : won<br />

3rd VI : lost 11C : won 10C : won 9C : won 8C : won 7C : won<br />

9D : won 8D : won 7D : won<br />

Coordinator: Mr Greg Denman (PE/Sports Office).<br />

CRICKET<br />

The trial against Padua proved vital for our <strong>2015</strong> organisation. The 1st XI<br />

exhibited determination to win a tight match.<br />

RESULTS<br />

1st XI : won 10A : lost 9A : won 8A : lost 7A : lost<br />

2nd XI : lost 10B : lost 9B : lost 8B : won 7B : lost<br />

3rd XI : lost 10C : lost 9C : won 8C : won 7C : lost<br />

4th XI : lost 9D : won 8D : lost 7D : lost<br />

Coordinator: Mr Sean Pearce (PE/Sport office).<br />

SWIMMING<br />

The annual trial with MBC girls was again popular. Our Year 5 and 6 team<br />

recorded excellent times and will be a force to be reckoned with in <strong>2015</strong>. All<br />

training details are available from Coach Brian Glass at the pool each<br />

afternoon.<br />

Friday 6 February buses depart straight after school to St Peters Lutheran<br />

College via Lohe St, Indooroopilly. Yr 5-6 in SPLC 25m pool and Yr 7-12 in<br />

50m pool. Warm up 4.15pm and 4.45pm start. Meets conclude 7.00pm with<br />

buses returning at approximately 7.45pm.<br />

YEAR LEVEL SPORT: CRICKET CLINICS<br />

Please be aware that all members of the A, B, C and Black cricket<br />

teams in each year level will participate in six 1.5hr cricket clinic<br />

sessions (8 hours in total) during their allocated year level sport days.<br />

Our aim is to provide quality coaching sessions using several outside<br />

coaches as well as one Iona staff member to improve the skills and<br />

techniques of our cricketers with the bonus of having favourable<br />

student/coaching staff ratios. Hopefully this will aid the development of<br />

Iona’s cricket program into the future. Note also that a $30 fee will be<br />

charged to your son’s Term 2 Fees account to cover the cost involved.<br />

A letter containing further details was sent home with your son earlier<br />

this week.<br />

CRICKET MANAGERS / COACHES<br />

Thank you to all who have offered to manage and/or coach an AIC<br />

cricket team. Many parents have been contacted in order to fill the<br />

required positions. Without these volunteers we would simply not be<br />

able to cope with the large number of students who have registered to<br />

compete in this year’s AIC competition. These parents deserve our<br />

thanks and the support of the whole team (including other parents)<br />

throughout the season.<br />

INTERHOUSE SWIM CARNIVAL<br />

The Year 5 and 6 Interhouse Swim Carnival will be held next<br />

Wednesday, 11 February. All boys have been trialled in each of the four<br />

strokes and will be involved in a number of events on the day based on<br />

their ability. Boys may wear their full PE uniform (house shirts not<br />

College polo) to and from school on the day. As usual the boys must<br />

wear their College black broad brimmed hats and supply their own<br />

water bottles and sunscreen on the day. At Iona our staff are not<br />

responsible for applying your sons sunscreen, however, they will be<br />

reminded to do it themselves every hour.<br />

It is not possible to give a full program of exact times for each event,<br />

however, the carnival will commence at 11.00am and finish at<br />

approximately 2.45pm. Boys may bring their own food or you may<br />

allow your son to purchase snacks and drinks from the canteen which<br />

will be open at the pool. Although limited space is available parents are<br />

most welcome to attend (BYO chair), we hope to see you there.<br />

<strong>2015</strong> AIC SWIMMING SQUAD<br />

The year has only just begun and already the AIC Swimming Squad is<br />

training hard. It is wonderful to see a large number of our Year 5 boys<br />

attending the various training sessions. Despite the fact that only a<br />

limited number will be selected to represent Iona at the AIC Swimming<br />

Championships held at Chandler on Thursday 5 March, we encourage<br />

the boys to train hard and attend the weekly Friday afternoon meets.<br />

AIC Squad Training Times—Target Days<br />

Tuesday 6.30am - 7.45am *<br />

Weekly meets (details to follow)<br />

* Tuesday Morning Breakfast<br />

We will supply a breakfast for all of our AIC swimmers after Tuesday<br />

morning training. It will include: toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit and juice.<br />

Thank you to Mrs Otway for her organisation.<br />

SWIMMING TOGS POLICY—AIC SWIMMERS<br />

All AIC squad members are asked to wear the Iona speedo styled togs<br />

with the Iona print (the preferred option) or a pair of the plain black<br />

swim skins. No other togs are acceptable. Boys travelling to the weekly<br />

meets must also wear their College polo shirt and black Iona sports<br />

shorts.<br />

AIC SWIM MEET AT ST PETERS COLLEGE<br />

The Iona swim squad will travel to St Peters College this Friday 6<br />

February to compete in the first AIC swim meet for <strong>2015</strong>. A bus will<br />

depart the College at 3.10pm and return at approximately 7.45pm.<br />

Parents are most welcome to attend the meet. If your son is unable to<br />

attend please notify the swim managers ASAP. A note was distributed<br />

to all squad members earlier in the week with all necessary details.<br />

LYTTON DISTRICT SWIM TRIALS<br />

Lytton Swim Trials will be held at Moreton Bay College on Friday 13<br />

February (9.30am—2.45pm). Schools are restricted to the number of<br />

competitors that we can send and there are qualifying times which must<br />

be met before a swimmer can be considered. Mr Teece, in consultation<br />

with our College Swim Coach, has nominated a number of boys to<br />

represent the College. A note will be distributed to all swimmers which<br />

will contain your son’s nominated events and other important details.<br />

CHESS<br />

Years 5 and 6 Chess trials will be held from 3.15pm to 4.00pm in<br />

McCarthy 4 on Tuesday 24 February and Wednesday 25 February –<br />
