Saint Ignatius College Geelong is owned and operated by the nine parishes of the Geelong Catholic Deanery. The nine Parish Priests are referred to as Canonical Administrators of the College. The College is governed by the Association of Canonical Administrators. To support the Canonical Administrators an advisory Board is in place. We are very fortunate to have a very strong Board with members who are very dedicated and cover a cross-section of expertise, experience and connection to the College. Responsibilities of the Board include ensuring that the College is faithful to its charter as a Catholic school, developing policies to enable the college to function and overseeing the financial arrangements that underpin the college. I am very grateful for the valuable advice the Board provides to the Executive about leadership and management matters.
I extend the College community’s gratitude to outgoing President of the Association of Canonical Administrators, Fr Kevin Dillon. As you may be aware, Fr Kevin has recently moved to the Rowville parish. This left the position of President vacant. At a recent meeting of the Association of Canonical Administrators, Fr James was elected to this position. On behalf of the College community, I congratulate Fr James and thank him for his enthusiastic and willing support of our College in taking on this role. ....continued on Page 2
