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 />
Mr Wayne Wilden<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 />
This Sunday we are looking forward to meeting many new families at<br />
our Welcome BBQ. The afternoon commences at 3pm and families are<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 />

graduates in Australia.<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 />

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