Our Vision Statement, “Striving for excellence in Boys’ education as an Augustinian community, one in mind and heart on the way towards God”, challenges each of us to be fellow travellers on the path to excellence in the education of young men. As members of Villanova College, we strive to be an authentic Augustinian community where Christ is the centre and the ultimate focus of all our endeavours. Our Celebration of Excellence night was born from our desire to realise our Vision. I acknowledge and I am grateful for the work of our Deputy Principal, Mr Steven Bremner and his team, for their organisation of this evening.

Allow me to begin looking forward by reflecting on the past.

One can imagine the apprehension and uncertainty that would have been etched on the faces of the young Augustinian Priests after leaving the familiarity of Ireland to travel to Brisbane, Australia to set up a new school for boys. In the post World War II years, life was challenging and these young Augustinians had little idea of what life in the colonies would bring.

What was that special factor that gave these young men the courage and determination to prevail despite numerous setbacks, few enrolments and limited resources? Some may say it was the grace of God or the luck of the Irish - whatever it was - a special place of learning, known as Villanova College, was established in Brisbane in 1948.

In those early years the special relationship between teacher and student – so characteristic of an Augustinian place of learning, was cemented as a key element of the style of education that drew students and families. The reputation of the new College was built on the pursuit of learning, a rich sporting and cultural program and strong family ties. From the beginning, the founding fathers involved families and eagerly welcomed their assistance in educating the scallywags that came through the front gates.

Today we once again face a number of challenges and a period of uncertainty as

MR MARK STOWER / PRINCIPAL

we courageously tackle the complexity of educating young men for the 21st Century and beyond. These challenges include changes in government funding, the introduction of the New Queensland Certificate of Education and the changing nature of education for future employment. In recent times the Commonwealth Government has announced sweeping changes to funding of schools. Under the new funding arrangements Villanova College will receive less Commonwealth funding for the next six years through until 2024 as all schools transition to reach the government funding target. In response to this challenge the College Board and Leadership Team have established the Villanova College Foundation with two important and distinct funds - Building and Bursary. The Foundation Building Fund will assist the College to raise capital for the future development of the College. We have begun the ambitious project of Master Planning the College’s two campuses to provide innovative and contemporary teaching and learning spaces and facilities for the sport and cultural programs. One of the first tasks of the Foundation will be to engage with our community to seek financial assistance for the rebuilding of an improved and updated Cor Unum Centre, change room facilities and grandstand at Villa Park.

In the future the Foundation Bursary Fund will provide disadvantaged students and their families the opportunity to receive the gift of a Villanova College education. Through the generosity of our wider Villanova College network we hope to increase the number of families we can support over the coming years.

The introduction of the new Queensland Certificate of Education and Tertiary Entrance Systems beginning in 2019 heralds a significant change in the education landscape of Queensland. An intentional focus of the new syllabuses has been the development of the capabilities and skills of students for the 21st century and beyond. The move away from a heavy reliance on content and learning of facts to preparing young people for a changing world will see young Queenslanders needing to be innovators, entrepreneurs, lifelong learners and responsible global citizens. The future will require a new range of skills including the ability to think critically and creatively, high level communication skills and the ability to collaborate and work as a member of a team. The new work environments of the future will demand personal and social skills such as cultural awareness, adaptability and flexibility along with welldeveloped IT skills. Preparations for the

new systems have already begun and I am confident Villanova College will embrace these changes as we continue to provide the highest quality holistic education to our students.

The Trial Pilot Flexible Learning Spaces established this year involving Year 6 and Year 8 have provided an opportunity to peer into the window of the future. The flexible spaces create an environment where students and teaching staff can work in a variety of modes from individual spaces to group work. In these rooms, students are not confined to their desks nor the teacher to the front of the room, they are free to choose where they wish to work and with whom. The collaboration between the teachers working in these spaces has further enhanced the learning experiences provided to the students by allowing teachers to specialise in their area of strength and to learn from each other. Determining the effect of the flexible learning spaces on the learning outcomes of students has required listening to the students, parents and teachers who have worked in these spaces during 2017. Over the remaining weeks of this year a comprehensive report will be tabled to assist with our planning for learning spaces in the future.

We are living in a time of massive technological disruption, and it is easy to understand why people are concerned about what this could mean for employment. A recent report commissioned by New South Wales Education warned the employment landscape was changing so rapidly the only way Australians would be able to keep up was by lifelong learning and constant retraining to update skills.

Research by the Business Council of Australia found one-third of new jobs created in the past 25 years barely existed at the beginning of that period. They include computer programmers, computer system analysts, fitness instructors and medical technicians.

Indeed, the very nature of work is changing: today, pilots actively steer aircraft for just three to seven minutes of any flight, with autopilot guiding the rest of the journey. New research suggests that while very few occupations will be fully replaced by machines, up to 45 per cent of work activities could be automated using alreadydemonstrated technology.

This will require entire business processes to be transformed and jobs performed by people to be redefined, much like the bank teller’s job was redefined with the advent of the ATM.

Such shifts have important repercussions for our education system. Foundational skills of computational thinking, design thinking and problem solving will increasingly be developed through a combination of humanities and STEM subjects. The development of key social and emotional skills - what some writers call “soft skills” –will be crucial as employers seek workers who are creative, innovative and adaptable. As a place of learning Villanova College is acutely aware of the need to respond to the changing nature of work and employment to ensure our students can confidently move from the secondary school environment to the world of work with the capabilities and skills to not only be contributors to society but to also be transformational through their character, faith and actions.

The plethora of opportunities afforded the young men of Villanova College are extensive and expanding each year. We celebrate and applaud the achievements of so many of our students who have worked diligently and consistently during this year. We often hear about the importance of having a goal to work towards. Many proverbs urge people to aim high. A frequently used metaphor is that of having a mountain to climb. One of the southern hemisphere’s best mountaineers, Sir Edmund Hillary, has said, “You don’t have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things, to compete. You can just be ordinary, but sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals.” Everyone is capable of great achievement. Some fail because they never try. Some give up. It is said that no one would have blamed Captain James Cook if he had turned back from the arduous journey that led him to reach the Great Southern Land. Of course, no one would have remembered him either. Not all of us achieve or even seek fame. For most of us, our great achievements will be our own, known perhaps only to ourselves. I hope all of you can look back on a year where you have had the motivation to do your best. To all our students, keep aiming high. The professionalism, generosity and dedication of our teaching and support staff are central to our story at Villanova College. St Augustine of Hippo understood the importance of the student/teacher relationship as being a most significant

factor in creating a climate of trust in which learning flourished in the classroom. Across the College we have classrooms where students are developing a love of learning and are challenged to seek the truth. Reflecting back on 2017 we have been presented with a number of challenges. I am pleased to report that the final works on the Father Michael Morahan Building are coming to a conclusion. It has been three years to complete the project of rectification, longer than, I have been told, it was to build the original structure. We will be overjoyed when the scaffolding and work sheds are a distant memory. The loss of the Cor Unum Centre in September this year will be felt by our community, especially when we gather for sporting fixtures at Villa Park in 2018. From the ashes comes great possibilities and the new facilities being planned will allow the centre to cater for our future needs.

In October we laid to rest a much-loved member of the Villanova College Family - Charlie Fisher. Charlie generously and unselfishly gave almost 50 years of service to the community of Villanova College. The large crowd in attendance at the Mass to celebrate Charlie’s life was a testament to this Augustinian educator who modelled the importance of knowing the students and their story.

We have much to be proud of during this year from our achievements on the sporting fields, in the Arts and in our outreach to those on the margins. Our successes, our triumphs and our failings during this year have all assisted us to learn to be humble in winning and gracious in defeat.

My special thanks to the members of the teaching and support staff. We are all enriched by your professionalism and commitment. You are significant stakeholders in what has grown to be a very tangible partnership with parents and students. I am grateful to each of you who contribute to the great strength of this community.

Let me express my gratitude to all who have supported the College so actively this year. I particularly wish to acknowledge the support of Fr Dave Austin, Prior Provincial and the Brisbane Augustinian community who keep our College in their prayers and thoughts. We are indeed fortunate to have the services of Father Peter Wieneke, our College Chaplain, who epitomises the meaning of servant leader as he provides significant support to all. This year we have been blessed by the additional presence of Father Saldie who has quickly become a welcome sight strolling the corridors of the College and greeting the students.

The Villanova College Board, Parents and

Friends Association, Sports Club and Music Supporters Group have all worked tirelessly for the College. These volunteers contribute enormous hours to the College community and I am grateful for their significant contributions.

To the members of the College Leadership Team: Mr Steven Bremner, Mr John Holroyd, Mr Paul Mead, Mr Matt Levander, Mr Greg O’Neill, Mr Stephen Rouhliadeff and Mrs Sally Byron my particular thanks for your guidance and wisdom. I wish to acknowledge the enormous number of hours these selfless leaders have given to the College during 2017. I also wish to acknowledge and thank Ms Amanda Waterson, Executive Assistant, for her dedication, professionalism and neverending patience. To my wife Leigh, thank you for your support and allowing me to do the work that I love.

Finally I thank the students and families of Villanova College who are the reason for our work. Educating young people today is demanding work - it requires a commitment of the heart and a commitment of the mind. Every child deserves a championan adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be. Families and teachers together in a community of faith provide the place where young people can grow and become the leaders of tomorrow.

The last words I leave to St Augustine who speaks of the importance of community and friendship in his own learning…“My soul found all manner of joy when I was in their company — to talk and to laugh and to be kind to each other — to read engaging books together, to go from the lightest joking to talk of the deepest things and back again — to differ without discord, as I might differ with myself, and when on the rarest occasion disagreement arose, to find it highlights the sweetness of our normal agreement — to teach or to learn from each other — to be impatient for those absent and welcome them with joy when they return — these and similar things, emanating from our hearts as we gave and received affection, shown in our faces, our voices, our eyes, and a thousand other gratifying ways, ignited a flame which fused our very souls together and made the many of us one.” (St

Augustine)

GRADUATION CEREMONY

MR MARK STOWER / PRINCIPAL

The second moment was the support offered to a fellow senior who was unsure about coming to the formal and through the persistent support of his classmates was able to spend time at the formal accompanied by those students. These young men knew that being together on that night was an important memory – one to be cherished.

round like a top, screwed my nose and stole my potato.

I was rescued at last by a gracious lady, the new Junior teacher - who boxed a few ears and dried my face and led me off to The Infants. I spent that first day picking holes in paper, then went home in a smoldering temper.

Ladies and gentlemen, members of staff, parents and extended family members of our graduating senior students of Villanova College.

Let me begin by firstly congratulating each of you on reaching this milestone. To complete your schooling and to graduate from Year 12 is an achievement and a first step in what I hope will be a lifetime of achievements. I often say to parents that Year 12 is one of the most demanding periods of education that a student will ever experience. We are certainly proud of your achievement and so pleased to see you graduate.

Not so long ago I witnessed two moments at your recent Senior Formal that capture the very essence of what it means to be a Villanova student. You will recall that at one point early in the evening there was a lone dancer who entered the dance floor and was thoroughly enjoying the music. I must admit I was a little worried that this may not end well but I needed not to be concerned for within the space of a minute or so that lone dancer was accompanied by three or more senior students and then the flood gates opened and the floor was packed with young people just enjoying the moment. What could have so easily been missed by many onlookers was for me a very powerful moment that spoke of the value of community, mateship and embracing diversity - qualities that we hope have been instilled in our students.

While I place great value on academic achievement – what is of equal value is the person you are becoming - the care and compassion you as a group have shown for each other and for the younger students of this College - demonstrates for me that you are developing into young men your College and your families can rightly be proud of.

Allow me to take you back to your very first day of school – not your first day here but your first day in Prep. Can you remember? Perhaps it was like the first day of school for Laurie Lee who writes,

The morning came, without warning, when my sisters surrounded me, wrapped me in scarves, tied up my bootlaces, thrust a cap on my head, and stuffed a baked potato in my pocket.

“What’s this?”, I said.

“You’re starting school today.”

“I ain’t. I’m stopping home”.

“Now come on Laurie. You’re a big boy now.”

“I ain’t.”

“You are.”

And with that they picked me up bodily, kicking and bawling, and carried me up to the road.

“Boys who don’t go to school get put into boxes and turn into rabbits and get chopped up Sundays.”

I felt this was overdoing it rather, but I said no more after that. I arrived at school just three feet tall and fatly wrapped in my scarves. The playground roared like a rodeo…the rabble closed in; I was encircled; grit flew in my face like shrapnel. Tall girls with frizzled hair, and scarves, spun me

“What’s the matter Laurie? Didn’t you like it at school?”

“They never gave me a present!”

“Present? What present?”

“They said they’d give me a present.”

“Well now, I’m sure they didn’t.”

“They did! They said: You’re Laurie Lee ain’t you? Well just you sit there for the present. I sat there all day but I never got it. I ain’t going back.”

That small village school did in fact give Laurie Lee a present, one he couldn’t have then recognized, but which later proved to be the greatest gift of all. When he grew up, he wrote about his childhood in a poor English valley and his book, “Cider with Rosie”, became a best seller and a classic of English literature.

One of the greatest gifts we possess is a lifelong enthusiasm for learning new things. Your journey into adult life is just beginning. You have received the gift of a fine education and you now stand on the threshold of a new beginning. Mark Twain wrote, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” A very powerful message as you prepare to leave familiar shores.

Tonight, you walk out of Villanova College with only one thing that no-one else has. There will be hundreds of people out there with your same qualifications; there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you will be the only person alive who has the sole custody of your life. All of you want to do well. But if

you do not do good too, then doing well will never be enough.

“Use your knowledge and your heart to stand up for those who can’t stand. Speak for those who can’t speak. Be a beacon of light, for those whose lives have become dark. Fight the good fight against greed and exploitation. Be a part of all that is good and decent. Be an ambassador for the kind of world you want to live in.”

My wish for you tonight as you leave the security of this College is that you will continue to make a difference in this world by simply being the people that you are. You have the enthusiasm and energy of youth and this world is in need of passionate people who believe that things can be different.

Nelson Mandela, Freedom Fighter, Politician and Stateman who grew up in a land divided by the colour of a person’s skin, said in one of his many speeches - “A bright future beckons. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity - to reach for the stars.”

To our parents, I simply say thank you. Your support of the College during your time with us has been appreciated by all who work with these young men. I know this night is a very special night for you also as you watch

your young man enter a new and exciting phase of his life. To those families who finish their association with Villanova College tonight - thank you for being a part of this special community.

It is fitting tonight that we recognise the staff of the College and their efforts during your time as students. One of the key characteristics of Augustinian education is the importance of the teacher - student relationship. This was clearly evident when I watched the manner in which the senior students and staff interacted at the Staff/ Senior Banquet. There was a mutual respect evident in the conversations and stories shared around the tables. I hope today you took advantage of the chance to say a simple thank you to your teachers.

Mr Tony Rolls, Year 12 Pastoral Leader, has been a constant force in your lives this year and his firm and fair manner of reminding you of what is important has allowed you to meet the challenges of being a senior confidently knowing that a helping hand is close by. Mr Matt Levander, Head of Senior School, who has introduced many new sayings into the Villanova language, always sets the highest standards and has watched over this group. Remember the wisdom he has shared with you through the many

stories and tales he has shared.

Let me conclude with a prayer

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity and God gave me brains and muscles to work.

I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience and God placed me where I had to wait.

I asked for love and God gave me people to help.

I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.

When we learn how to say goodbye we truly learn how to say to ourselves and others:

Go, God be with you. I entrust you to God. The God of strength, courage, comfort, hope and love is with you.

I pray that our God will always keep you safe in the palm of God’s hand. God bless.

COLLEGE BOARD

MR PETER GERAGHTY / BOARD CHAIRPERSON

Since I last reported to the Villanova Community in 2016 much has happened, 2017 could be described as a year of triumph and tribulation. It is always how you face and deal with both that defines the ethos of a community.

In December, 2016 the eastern wall of the Michael Morahan Centre collapsed. This year a fire at Villanova Park destroyed the Cor Unum facility and our Commonwealth Government funding was significantly reduced. These events, as well as the usual business that the Board is responsible for, confronted us in 2017. We as a community are fortunate that as we are now further down the Master Planning path, we have been given the opportunity to rise from the ashes. The design for the Eastern Wall will enhance the aesthetics of our College’s heart, and planning has already begun to build a new Cor Unum Centre that reflects our current and future needs at Villanova Park.

Cuts to Commonwealth funding will be an ongoing challenge for the Board and the Leadership Team for some years to come. The Board has established a Foundation which includes Building and Bursary Funds. The Board is confident that the majority of membership of the

Foundation will be selected by year’s end. In partnership with our brother college, St Augustine’s, the Board has approved that the College will offer places to International students in 2019.

Much thanks must go to all members of the Villanova community who participated in the consultation Master Planning process. Peter Dawson (architects) will be well placed to present his preliminary plan to the Board in January, 2018.

The various sub-committees have worked extremely hard during this very challenging twelve months. Building and Capital Works committee, Policy Review Committee, Board Succession and Performance Committee and the Finance Advisory Committee, their advice and dedication have ensured that the decisions of the Board are based on full knowledge of the issues being faced.

A joint planning meeting with the Leadership Team late last year was held to initiate discussion for the next Strategic Plan for the College, covering the 20192023 five year period. This, combined with our current Master Planning process, will ensure that Villanova has the facilities and teaching staff to continuously deliver an

outstanding education to our students. As I have mentioned, we are working with St Augustine’s on offering places for International students. During 2018, a joint meeting with the St Augustine’s Board will be held in June or July. It is envisaged that bi-annual joint meetings will be held in future years.

Our principal Mark Stower’s year has been a very difficult one, but his spirit has never faulted. The Leadership Team and the Board have endeavoured to share the load and support him in every way. The community of Villanova is indeed indebted to him.

I also sincerely thank my fellow Directors on the outstanding results they have achieved for the College in 2017 and the Leadership Team for their continual support and confidence in the Board’s role in the life of the College.

The loss of the Cor Unum Centre was deeply felt by many, but the loss of Charlie Fisher was profoundly felt by all. His farewell at St James stamps the community of Villanova as a very special one.

Stay safe and be happy. There are big things to come in 2018 and beyond.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

MR JAMES GRIFFITHS / PRESIDENT

2017 has been another wonderful year at the College and on behalf of the Villanova Parents and Friends Executive team, I would like to extend a very warm thank you to our College community for your continued support.

2017 started with everyone’s favourite, the annual Villanova International Carnival. By far our most significant fundraising event on the calendar, the Carnival celebrates the Augustinian values of community and friendship and shines a very bright light on our Villanovan spirit. Such an important feature on our College calendar, it takes a team of charitable and dedicated volunteers to make the event the success that it is. A huge thank you to Cameron Clelland who performed a remarkable job in convening the event ably assisted by many generous parents and volunteers. The P and F are very grateful for your time, effort and the energy you bring.

In May we celebrated our beautiful Villa Mothers at the Cor Unum Centre with a night of fine food, an array of cold beverages and dancing well into the night. A big thank you to all the Villa Fathers who worked tirelessly to ensure the ladies were doted on and spoilt on such a special night. The P and F recognises the important role our Mothers play in shaping our young Villanovan gentlemen.

Leveraging off Villa familys’ desire for community minded and fun events, in July the P and F held “Lights, Camera, Action…. An Evening with the Stars” trivia night in Goold Hall. Teams walked the red carpet in elaborate costumes ready to compete for amazing prizes and the title of Villa Trivia Masters 2017. The night was filled with many laughs, silly games, singing and dancing. Once again, the generosity of our College community shone through as we raised funds to deliver the initiatives planned for the year.

We should never lose sight of our goal to raise funds to support the College in making the educational experience of our sons as rewarding and enjoyable as possible. To that end, we have managed to oversee the installation of chilled water bubblers throughout the College. We have completed the installation of fans to the mezzanine level at Goold Hall and the refurbishment of the Goold Hall Canteen, a facility utilised regularly by many groups. We have allocated funding to the refurbishment of the BBQ area in the pool precinct and are looking at refurbishment of the Library in stages.

I would like to thank my wonderful team for their efforts, and those who regularly attend our monthly meetings, you are appreciated more than you know.

Finally, to our College educators. On behalf of all parents, we thank you for your caring commitment and dedication to the development of our boys.

CURRICULUM

MR PAUL MEAD / VICE PRINCIPAL / TEACHING AND LEARNING

led by Mrs Addley in the Junior School, and the Middle School Co-ordinators, as well as the dedicated teachers in these year levels. At the time of writing the Year 12 final results are yet to be released, but I am confident that their results will reflect their work and effort in their studies.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure to attend the Augustinian Education Symposium at Villanova University, Pennsylvania and the above quote was displayed along the walls of one of their impressive buildings. It reminded me of the need to focus on the small things in life as a means to build collective, aspirational and positive end results. The College has engaged in a diverse range of curricular activities this year, not only to bring about excellent and positive outcomes, but to strategically plan to ensure such successes are possible into the future.

By way of formal results, the 2017 NAPLAN results in Years 5, 7 and 9 continued Villanova’s strong academic results, our students outperforming the Queensland Boys’ and Girls’ Mean and Australian Mean in all but one of the test dimensions. This is a credit to the excellent approach to these tests and the targeted preparation program

The changes to the Senior School in 2019 will be a significant one. Throughout the year, The Curriculum Area Leaders have discussed, assessed and revised how the College will respond to such initiatives so that our students are best prepared for such changes. In particular the Year 10 Curriculum Structure will be very different next year, the current Year 9 cohort being the first year level to experience these new changes. At the same time changes to the assessment types and conditions will be strategically introduced into the Middle and Senior School so that students are confident and prepared for the future. Professional development is an important aspect to this preparation; currently there are over 130 individual workshops run by QCAA that our Senior School staff have attended to familiarise them with the new Syllabus introductions about to take place over the next few years.

An assessment of how our students express themselves in writing identified a need for a focus on this area and the College was fortunate to work closely with Dr Ian Hunter, an academic from New Zealand. His whole school writing program produced impressive first outcomes in Years 6, 7 and 9 and this program will see further expansion across the College in 2018. Additionally, the Junior School will be

restructuring its elective curriculum offerings in 2018 and I thank Mr Rouhliadeff for his work in this area. Mrs Alexander received the Fr Hanrahan Bursary in 2016 to develop STEM within the College and has worked hard to evolve this important area in the Middle School this year. Year 8 students also had the opportunity to experience a semester integrated unit combining Digital Technologies, Design Technologies and Industrial Technology subject areas. This unit was a tremendous success, for which Mrs Duncan and her team are to be congratulated.

The Celebration of Excellence evening not only showcased our talented musicians, but acknowledged the significant achievements of our academic students across Years 5-12. It was an exciting evolution in the life of the College to illustrate not only our depth of achievement, but also to give these students the opportunity to be publicly recognised in a venue conducive to the significance of the effort made by these students in their studies. Congratulations to all those who received an award on the evening.

Finally, I would like to thank the Curriculum Area Leaders and staff who have such a vested interest and concern for the boys under their care and instruction. Their passion for their respective subject areas and their desire to help students achieve their best is testament to their ministry in this profession and one that makes Villanova a particularly difficult place to leave at the end of this year. I am confident that Villanova will continue to place an importance on the little things to ultimately aspire to greater ones. God bless.

“You aspire to great things?

Begin with little ones.”

SENIOR SCHOOL

MR MATTHEW LEVANDER / HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL

The inaugural Celebration of Excellence evening at QPAC showcased the academic excellence within the Senior School and affirmed students for their dedication, diligence and love of learning. I would like to congratulate all Academic Award recipients for their commitment to their studies. The outstanding achievement of the following students deserves special recognition:

College Dux: Harrison Rieck

Year 12 Proxime Accessit: Joshua Cole

Dux of Year 11: Asier Goni

‘God provides the wind; Man must raise the sail’

-Saint

Augustine

The Villanova Senior School Journey is an eclectic experience that is punctuated with many pivotal moments that shape the lives of the young men of Villanova College. This three-year period of selfdiscovery, challenges students to accept the responsibilities associated with their learning pathway and hopes to stir within their psyches a desire to contribute all that they can to serve this wonderful community. By doing so, each Senior School student in their own unique way, weaves their own thread within the rich tapestry which is Villanova College.

‘For none of us lives for ourselves alone’

-Romans 14:7

One of the inherent values that has been fostered throughout the year has been the importance of connectivity. The Senior Class of 2017 is to be commended for the way in which they lived out this value as a united cohort. Their brotherhood ignited a flame of green and gold spirit which resonated across the entire Senior School, firing the determination of students in Years 10, 11 and 12 to make active contributions across all aspects of College life - academics, culture, ministry, music and sport.

Year 11 Proxime Accessit: Leo Clarke

Dux of Year 10: Matthew Short

Year 10 Proxime Accessit: Thomas Pham

One of the most pleasing aspects of this year has been witnessing the way in which Senior School students have shared their story and offered their gifts in the spirit of Saint Thomas of Villanova. There have been many highlights across 2017. The marvellous melodies of our musicians at the QCMF once again brought great joy to our community. Musician of the Year Blake Humphrey and our Senior School musicians continued to raise the bar this year with their outstanding standard of performances.

A profound testament to our mission as a Catholic school is the work of our ministry teams in reaching out and supporting those on the margins and in most need. Under the gentle leadership of Vice PrincipalMission, Ministry and Evangelisation, Mr John Holroyd, the service of the Senior School students who contributed to AFAS, Rosies and Saint Vincent de Paul was humbling. The work of Villanovan of the Year, Daniel Duskovic, whose passion and conviction in leading this year’s Mission Day, is an inspirational example that will be remembered into the future.

Our sporting program was enriched by the pride and commitment shown by our Senior School athletes who wear the green and gold. Congratulations to Sportsman of the Year Patrick Price for your passionate contribution to the teams you represented. The three-peat of AIC aggregates within the

Basketball program, including the numerous Senior School premierships was certainly another highlight for 2017.

‘A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way’ - John C Milton

The Senior Class of 2017 will always be remembered as a cohort which possessed a wonderful solidarity and collective zest for College Life. At their commissioning ceremony, the Seniors pledged to be their Brother’s Keeper, and they certainly lived up to that promise. I would like to thank College Captain, Hamish Drummond, College Vice-Captain Patrick Coffey and Student Council President Cristian Gutierrez for their leadership of the student body and all Year 12 students for the positive legacy which you have left.

For those staff involved in the academic and pastoral support of the Senior School students, I would like to extend a sincere thank you, especially members of the Senior School Pastoral Care Team - Mr Sean O’Neill, Mr Peter Meecham and Mr Tony Rolls – our Pastoral Area Leaders; Mrs Kath Underhill - LET Program Leader; Mrs Dianne Martin - Pathways Program Leader; Mr Adrian Hellwig - our Pastoral Care Worker and Counsellor and Mr Tass Sakellariou - our College Psychologist. Finally, I would also like to thank the community for the support shown to me in my first year as Head of Senior School. I have drawn great strength from the encouragement I have received, and I am excited for 2018 and my vision of ensuring that the Senior School is the very best environment for our young men to fulfil their dreams and potential.

COLLEGE CAPTAIN’S REPORT

HAMISH DRUMMOND / 2017 COLLEGE CAPTAIN

This year the Class of 2017 set a number of ambitious goals for the College. Focusing on reviving Villanova spirit, we pushed for increased attendance and unity at cocurricular and curricular events, both within our own cohort and throughout the whole of the three schools. While a bold task, it is pleasing to say that with the support of the College, this year’s seniors led admirably, reaching above and beyond their aspirations.

We focused our spirit particularly on linking the many different aspects of school life together – uniting students from sport, the arts, ministry and academics. This led to a calendar year that was jam-packed with events and opportunities for everyone.

Our spirit in sport began with the volleyball

and cricket seasons at Goold Hall and Villa Park. The student body showed up in numbers, shouting the roof off and lifting the athletes in the green and gold. One standout moment was when the chanting was led by a live senior music band. The support of the students would continue through events such as the AIC Swimming Championships, rugby, football and chess seasons, and the AIC Cross Country Championships. Concluding with the athletics, basketball and tennis seasons, the year ended with another College-wide dominance of the basketball aggregate, with the spirit of students from across the College continuing to the finish.

The Arts too, saw a year saturated with performances and events. Another successful Queensland Catholic Music Festival (QCMF) would see Villanova again complimented as a gracious host, while also being the recipient of a considerable number of gold awards. 2017 would also mark the return of the Villanova-Loreto talent show, which again did not disappoint in the quality of gifts it showcased. Ministry during 2017 would also see one of its busiest years yet. The scale of the St Vincent De Paul’s sleepout was extended, with a large number of students from other schools invited to the social justice evening

beforehand. Other social justice conferences would likewise provide many opportunities for students to develop their awareness of the issues in and outside of their local community. AFAS saw an extremely effective year, as their work in the Philippines would be compounded by what was deemed to be the “best Mission Day ever”. A testament to the interest of the Senior class in service, the year would be rounded out by the first Ministry Gala, which saw a number of guest speakers giving graduating students opportunities for them to remain in ministry post-school.

On behalf of the Class of 2017, I would like to thank the staff, students and parents for not only a year to remember, but all the years we have spent at the College. Without the support and opportunities you offered us, we would not have come anywhere close to what we have achieved. We hope you miss the close relationships with the community we have formed as much as we do, and look forward to seeing you again in the years to come.

YEAR 12 DISTINGUISHED AWARDS

Villanovan Of the Year

The recipient of this year’s Villanovan of the Year Award has shown great support of others in all he says and does through his inclusive leadership style. His contribution to the College has been extensive and varied. He participated in the Open Football program, was a Year 6 Debating Coach and a member of the QDU Senior A Debating Team. He was a Year 12 Student Council Representative and served as a Year 12 Eucharistic Minister.

He has contributed to our Augustinian Youth Ministries: St Vincent de Paul Society, YCS, Rosies and AFAS, of which he was this year’s President. He exhibited passion and energy in organising Mission Day and he led the community to deliver the best ever, speaking volumes for his patience, tenacity, vision and servant leadership. Mission day will always be better for the work he did in 2017.

His outstanding leadership skills were recognised with him receiving this year’s ADF Long Tan Leadership and Teamwork Award.

It is with immense pride that I announce the recipient of the Father Ben O’Donnell Shield for 2017 Villanovan of the Year, Daniel Duskovic.

Dux of the College

The Dux of the College is the highest academic award bestowed on a student at Villanova College.

This student has achieved outstanding results at the highest level. This is as a result of a personal drive for excellence and a deep sense of striving in all of his studies to the very best of his abilities. This year’s Dux has achieved exceptionally strong results, gaining a Very High Achievement level in each of these subjects. Of these, the lowest grade confirmed by the QCAA panel at Verification is a VHA 7. All of his other subjects have been awarded and confirmed at Verification as either a VHA 9 or VHA 10, the latter being the highest possible grade that can be given, excellent results by an excellent scholar.

The recipient is a polite, considerate and very grounded student; confident in his abilities, but without bravado or arrogance. He has demonstrated a very Augustinian trait of striving for excellence in everything he does.

The College congratulates the recipient, who is an exceptional role model for all students. To receive the Frank Cullen Cup for Dux of the College for 2017, I call forward Harrison Rieck.

Proximet Accessit

The award of Proxime Accessit is awarded to the student who came second place behind the Dux. Its Latin translation means “came very close”, and while there may be some disappointment in not receiving the top academic prize, as a community it is important to recognise, acknowledge and applaud the student who has worked exceptionally hard in his studies and achieved excellent results.

Tonight’s recipient has received a Very High Achievement grade in each of his subjects and he should feel justifiably proud of these achievements. He has at the same time balanced his studies with his sporting representation for Villanova, indicative of his well-rounded approach to his time at the College.

To receive the Year 12 Proxime Accessit for 2017, I call forward Joshua Cole.

Sportsman of the Year

Sportsman of the Year Award is given for success in sport, breadth of participation, and sportsman like attitude, the last of which takes precedence over the other two. The recipient of this year’s Villanova College Sportsman of the Year award has displayed great dedication, pride and commitment in all his sporting pursuits. During his senior year this young man represented his College as a member of the 1st VI Volleyball team, the 1st XV Rugby team, and the 1st V Basketball team. Through his sporting brilliance and his admirable sportsmanship he has been awarded Best and Fairest in two of the abovementioned sports. He continued on to make the Chairman’s XV Representative team that competed at the Qld Schoolboy Rugby Trials. He has represented Villanova at the AIC Track and Field championships, where he competed in high jump, division 1 javelin, and was a member of the 6x400m relay team who not only came second but also broke the previous AIC record.

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the Villanova College Sportsman of the Year is Paddy Price.

Musician of the Year

The Bloxsom Family Trophy is awarded to Villanova’s Senior Musician of the Year, a Senior Musician who has demonstrated servant leadership within the music community at the College: a student who maintains a high standard of performance across the entirety of their involvement, shares their gifts freely with the broader community, and leads by example through preparation, engagement, and encouragement of others across the program.

This year’s Senior Musician of the Year has been involved in several ensembles across his musical career at the College and was active in service of the music community at Villanova. This was evidenced through his volunteering efforts at QCMF, being one of the driving forces behind this year’s Brass Ensemble, assistance with Junior School Ensembles in performance, and services rendered Villanova and the wider community through ANZAC remembrance services.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the 2017 Senior Musician of the Year, Blake Humphrey.

STUDENT COUNCIL REPORT

CRISTIAN GUTIERREZ / 2017 STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT

2017 proved a challenging year for the 43rd Student Council, amongst a changing school and with the retirement of its foremost champion – Ms Kath Neehouse – in 2016. Nevertheless, the Council stood strong and upheld its duty as a cornerstone embodiment of the value of community that we cherish as an Augustinian College. Though it would be quite an overstatement to say that the Council was in disarray in the absence of its facilitator of almost 20 years, there was certainly much work to be done at the beginning of the year – and the general notion of 2017 being a ‘transitionary period’ was in the back of our minds.

Thus, the Council oriented itself towards a general concern with legacy and precedent, in line with similar sentiments from the Student Leadership Team. Not only did this contribute to providing a united face for student leadership, but it too provided an excellent guide as we progressed through the aforementioned transition.

This focus gave us the concrete goal of increasing student engagement with the Council, in order to heighten support and enthusiasm within the student body. Most notably, we attempted to re-utilise the committee system – a constitutional capability at the Council’s disposal that allows it to form ad-hoc or semi-permanent executive groups with a mixed membership of Councillors and students.

The committee system is a long-standing aspect of the Council, albeit one very underappreciated. Dating back to the original Student Council of 1974 – including the first President Joe Richards and current AttorneyGeneral George Brandis – the Council was originally split into five committees that were each individually responsible for various aspects of school life. This did change, however, with the committee system becoming a non-mandatory part of Council organisation – yet its importance should not be taken lightly. In fact, the student-driven ministries at the College today have some origin in the original Social and Liturgical committees of the Council!

With the realisation that a revival of the

committee system held the potential to be a significantly empowering and influential aspect of the Council, we sought to ‘test the waters’ by forming a provisional Lunchtime Music Committee – democratising one of the Council’s most iconic traditions. Under Council supervision, Senior students were able to manage the operation of the Council speakers on Fridays and the Council trialled feedback and music suggestions via Google Forms. Additionally, the speakers were used in conjunction with YCS at the beginning of the year, bringing much excitement to the Junior School. So too were they brought out for some of the larger home-games in Goold Hall, where the improved sound quality was greatly appreciated.

Following this, the Student Council in conjunction with the Student Leadership Team formed the Cor Unum Committee – from the Latin ‘cor unum’ meaning ‘one heart’. A committee with its own constitution, the establishment of this group was done with the defunct Cor Unum Captain role in mind: a team of students with the responsibility of fostering and supporting school pride, engagement, and solidarity. Special ‘Villa Spirit’ badges were purchased by the Council with the support of Mr Matthew Levander, who was a key part of the committee’s formation. With much activity in the latter-half of the year, the Cor Unum Committee promises to be a popular and engaging group that provides passionate students with an opportunity to further contribute to school culture and atmosphere – and one that will remain an important executive arm of the Council for years to come.

Also in the spirit of student engagement were the trial-runs of open Council meetings – inspired by the ‘Student Talk-Backs’ of the 1987 Council. Though the appeal of these meetings was seemingly limited to the Senior School this year, the initiative nevertheless showed potential in promoting dialogue between Councillors and students, and could very easily become a regular event in the Student Council calendar.

The two main fundraisers for the year included an Easter chocolate sale in the Junior School (which proved to be quite popular!) and a raffle for an official Maroons jersey in the weeks leading up to State of Origin – kindly supplied by Canterbury. The Cor Unum Committee also organised their own raffles in Semester 2 before a match in Goold Hall. The winner received free food from the canteen and the privilege of sitting on a sofa at that week’s game; of course, the lucky student was announced on the day –and this proved to be reasonably effective in garnering support from the younger grades.

In another continuation of tradition, we handed out Freddo Frogs to commemorate the Feast of St Augustine. This was understandably very popular, though getting a hold of almost one-thousand chocolates was somewhat… comical.

The annual Villa Visions acquisition was made in Term 4, with the purchase of an understated panoramic shot of the Brisbane skyline by Bodie Bacon. Reimbursement for the materials was given to Bodie on top of the $100 prize, which was donated to AFAS. The piece should have some historical significance in time – serving as a quaint reminder of not only the Brisbane of 2017, but our place on this iconic hill in Coorparoo. Many thanks to Mr Jason Lane who assisted the Council in making the purchase. Finally, the Council closed off the year with the donation of three moderate planters and accompanying trees, which were placed in the plaza between Langlands and Tolentine. This was partly in response to the observations of the architects who visited the school over the year, who noted that the school was in need of some ‘softening’.

It is here where I must give my greatest thanks to both Ms Kathryn Duncan and Ms Dianne Martin; both of whom had an extraordinary example to live up to in their roles as facilitators, and I believe it is safe to say they met, if not exceeded it. Not all of our successes this year came easily and Ms Martin and Ms Duncan were absolutely instrumental in standing-up for the Student Council and by extension, the students of our College.

To the Councillors themselves – thank you for giving up your own time to serve your Villanovan brothers. I sincerely hope you continue to work in the Council, as building solid and dependable relationships is the crux of being a good representative. Your efficacy only grows with experience! Furthermore, I have no doubt that the 44th Student Council will be well-led by Liam Hampson in 2018 – who already promises to be a caring and hard-working leader. I am certain that under his guidance, the Council will continue to represent the rights and responsibilities of the students and to safeguard their important role in the community of our Augustinian College.

“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”

-St Augustine

REPORT BY STEVEN BREMNER / DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

stunning performances by the Symphonic Band, String Sinfonia, Irish Ensemble, and Year 12 students who formed a Massed Choir especially for this occasion. Thank you to Mr Michael Jones and your music team.

To add to the prestige of the evening, we were privileged to be joined by many special guests including Fr Dave Austin OSA (‘62), Senator George Brandis (‘74), Mr Christian Welch (’11), Mr Simon Hyland (’93), former staff member Mr Tony MacPherson and Ms Donna McMahon (Deputy Chair of the College Board).

On the 31st October, Villanova College celebrated our inaugural Celebration of Excellence. Our students have had another year of exceptional outcomes and we congratulate all 203 prize-winners who were presented with 304 awards.

We wish to acknowledge and recognise our major prize-winners for 2017– Daniel Duskovic, who was awarded the Father Ben O’Donnell Shield for the Villanovan of the Year. Harrison Rieck, who was awarded the Frank Cullen Cup for Dux of the College, Joshua Cole who was awarded Year 12 Proxime Accessit (second to Dux), Paddy Price who was awarded the Paul Finnimore trophy for Sportsman of the Year, and Blake Humphrey, who was awarded the Bloxsom Family Trophy for Musician of the Year.

Over 90 students took to the stage throughout the evening, representing a collaboration of our premier instrumental and choral programmes. We enjoyed

Congratulations to all students who were recognised and to those who achieved their personal best throughout the year. We recognise that you have succeeded through hard work and persistence, but also because others supported your right to learn. To those not formally acknowledged with a prize, remember, if you gave your best, be proud of that.

Thank you to all of the parents, staff, QPAC production team and everyone involved in this celebration. With strong leadership, supportive parents, passionate teachers and engaged students, at Villanova College, anything is possible. In particular, my personal thanks to Mrs Kath Underhill and Mr Matthew Levander for their passion, energy and enthusiasm in planning such a successful gala evening. Special thanks to Nanna Carmen, for your exquisitely designed “Gateway Values” banner, which

gelled perfectly with the theme of the evening, and will take such pride of place in our College.

The success of the evening has been confirmed by the plethora of emails and handwritten letters received by the College since the event. We appreciate all feedback, as this event has laid the foundation for magnanimous future growth in celebrating excellence within Villanova. From a parent: A quick note to say congratulations on the Celebration of Excellence night. The program was excellent, professionally delivered and appropriately showcased the academic (and musical) talent in the school. The recognition of staff and their wearing of academic dress was a very nice touch. It made us proud to be part of the Villa family and community. From a staff member: Just a note as a parent and teacher that the night was fantastic. The boys loved it too. I think it gives the younger boys something to work towards also as they usually miss the Year 12 awards.

Such feedback reinforces our College as one of the very best in the academic and spiritual development of young men, encompassing our values of community, interiority and search for truth. The selfbelief and emotions felt from each and every award winner can be affirmed through the words of our very own St Augustine,” Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” We look forward to your presence in 2018!

ACADEMIC CAPTAIN’S SPEECH

SPEECH BY HARRISON RIECK, 2017 ACADEMIC CAPTAIN, AT THE CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE

all get knocked down. It is the ability to get back up and push forward – like the scholars behind me have – that defines who we are.

We must understand that effort and courage mean nothing without purpose and direction. Value is created, for others and ourselves, when we create clarity. A clear understanding of your personal definition of success and an image of what you want to achieve allows goals to be pertinently pursued.

Good evening Prior Provincial Father Dave Austin, Commonwealth Attorney General Senator George Brandis, College Principal Mr Stower, invited guests, staff, parents, old boys and fellow Villanova students.

Since 1965, the human race’s computing power has doubled every 18 months – a trend predicted to accelerate into the future. In this time of great change, a question is posed to all in our society; how should we prepare for what lies ahead?

First, we must recognise that success is not solely determined by intellectual ability. Throughout my time at Villanova, one characteristic has been instrumental in pursuing my goals. This key attribute wasn’t social intelligence, attractiveness, health or IQ. It was grit. On our search for truth we

The importance of failure on our journey must be acknowledged. Failure is necessary to build resilience and foster a growth mindset. There is only one thing that makes our dreams impossible: the fear of failure. Learn to seize every opportunity. Throughout the course of my senior schooling, this college has availed to me the opportunity to join programs, participate in forums and attend conferences across the state and the country. However, the majority of these would not have occurred without proactivity and persistence. Say yes more often, meet new people and most importantly, learn from every experience.

Don’t take your colleagues for granted – at school, university or in the workplace. We all have an inherently human desire to compare ourselves to the people we are

constantly around. However, instead of feeling jealous, we should learn from these people. Be inspired by those around you –celebrate their success, commiserate their failures and they will stand by you in times of need. We are all sharing our search for truth with those around us.

Thank your parents. Our parents are our biggest supporters. They constantly put us above themselves; the fact that we are sitting here tonight, as students of Villanova College, is testament to that fact.

Cherish your teachers. Behind your parents, no one wants to see you succeed more. This college is blessed with dedicated staff who arrive before we do and leave long after we are gone. They mark on weekends and take time away from their own families for our school functions like this one. I believe that the unwavering dedication of Villanova teachers stems from a yearning to impart their wealth of knowledge and inspire us to succeed. Please join with me in acknowledging the role these amazing educators play in our success.

I would like to end with a quote from Aristotle; ‘Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives –choice not chance determines your destiny.’

MIDDLE SCHOOL

MR GREG O’NEILL / HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

The camp program in 2017 again provided immeasurable highlights for the students. The Year 7 trip to Currimundi, Caloundra, encouraged the boys to extend their friendships by welcoming the new Year 7 students to Villa. Whilst the fish weren’t biting, the time spent around the lake fishing was popular with the boys, as was the new caving experience offered by the providers.

again congratulate all the Middle School students for their participation in the cocurricular life of the College.

As I reflect back on the 2017 academic year, it is difficult to report on all the meaningful moments and noteworthy people who contributed to such an outstanding year. There are simply too many!

Inside the classroom, the Middle School students again engaged in a rigorous and diverse curriculum. In 2017, each student was called upon to work to their best potential. For some boys, their results were truly outstanding and a reflection of their hard work and determination. For others, lower than expected results should spark the necessary impetus for improving their output in 2018. As Winston Churchill said, “success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Behind the scenes, the staff continued their commitment to their professional development and improvement through their ongoing commitment to Collaborative and Reflective Practices (CRP) program. Facilitated by Ms Kristina Whitehead, the staff devoted time to exploring their pedagogy and implementing high-effect strategies. I thank all teachers for their participation in the program again this year and Kristina for her ongoing leadership of this initiative.

The Year 8 camp to Dicky Beach featured popular activities including stand-up paddle boarding, mountain biking and surf lessons, although the time spent around the campsite and the annual beach touch football games were undoubtedly memorable for the boys.

The Year 9 Camp is always a popular camp as it extends the boys well beyond their comfort zones. Sleeping in swags, drop toilets and cooking one’s own meals can be a significant challenge for some. With an ANZAC flavour, the boys are called upon to work as a team, support one another, and problem solve their way through the challenges that the week presents. In 2017, the Year 9 cohort were simply outstanding. I sincerely thank all the staff who supported the camp program again in 2017. Without their participation, the camp would not be possible. I finally thank all the students who attended the camps, for their commitment, their positive attitude, and their willingness to support one another.

Throughout the year, a large number of Middle School students were acknowledged for their success and efforts in a wide range of co-curricular areas. Sporting premierships were celebrated, individual triumphs were recognised and a range of cultural achievements were showcased. I

I would like the thank and acknowledge the work of the Middle School’s Middle Leaders. They include: Mr Ben Lynam (Year 7), Mr Matthew McGrath (Year 8), Mr Peter Simpson (Year 9), Ms Hannah Elder (Science), Mr Shawn Creamer (English), Ms Amanda McKay (Mathematics), Mr Brendan Kennedy and Ms Chris Kemp (REPD), Ms Kate Alexander (Social Sciences) and Ms Sally England (Learning Enhancement). Their planning, organisation, and support for staff and students is critical.

Final thanks goes to Vicki Lamb, our Middle School Student Services Officer. At the Year 9 Transition Evening in November the largest applause of the evening was reserved for Vicki and the care she shows all the boys. This applause undoubtedly reflected the sentiments of all Middle School students, parents and teachers who have relied on Vicki’s support throughout the year.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

MR STEPHEN ROUHLIADEFF / HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

on academic growth and achievements. It is more than fair to say that the lives of all our Junior School students were busy, fulfilling and something to be very proud of for every individual ability.

2017 has proven that the faith of our Junior School community can achieve many great things together. What the Year 5 and 6 boys manifested physically, emotionally, socially, academically and spiritually has solidified their belonging and significance as Villanovans for eternity.

In Year 5 the students collected many “firsts” throughout the year. From the rituals of walking through the College gates, wearing a tie, participating in Camp, playing as a team in Co-Curricular events, actively demonstrating faith in College Masses and social justice opportunities and adhering to a formal Assessment Calendar, these gentlemen followed procedures and took risks in sharing talents and gifts as brothers. In Year 6 the responsibility of leadership saw our young men show creativity, diligence and commitment to enhancing the day to day life of staff and students. Using prior experiences and staff support the boys were co-ordinating lunchtime competitions, mentoring technological clubs for free time learning, organizing fundraising and charitable donations, building deeper relationships during Camp and CoCurricular competition as well as working

Access to information and the provision of feedback were two areas of focus in the Junior School this year. Learning in the 21st century requires various mediums to engage the learner’s attention to a subject area as well as for the duration of the activity. In our 2017 classrooms our young men have various opportunities to learn new information through podcasts and clips filmed by teachers prior to attending classes. They have learning stations and multiple teachers available so that they may work at a pace suitable to their confidence and ability to work with each subject area. Choices are available for independent, small group or tutorial sessions to ensure that the boys can extend themselves into more analytical and evaluative stages. Homework was given based only on meaningful work that related directly to supporting class tasks and the Assessment Calendar. Our staff worked specifically on building meaningful relationships and providing feedback that encouraged and realised the boys’ full learning potential. Twice a term they shared specific goals, planning, teaching practices and evidence of how they endeavoured to truly know your son’s strengths, interests and challenges. So influential, informative and significant were our results that they were presented at a National Boys’ Learning Conference in Sydney in October for other Colleges to include in their future strategic planning. We have four classes in flexible learning centres this year and eight other classes using collaborative teaching across extended spaces. Merging on average around 50% of curriculum teaching and learning meant that the students had more choices for the pace, activities and support they desired daily. There was consistency in providing feedback to each student for what was expected as well as the steps needed to

achieve at every level. The students were informed and developing responsibility for their attitude towards learning, their ability to use time effectively and striving to reach their full potential using learning outcomes, criteria sheets, drafting and 1:1 time with their teachers.

Our community in the Junior School is one that begins with the parents we are so fortunate to work with as it is their faith, trust and willingness to actively support our endeavours that ensures that boys grow as balanced human beings. They show faith in our College, our staff and the knowledge that we only ever provide Camps, Days of Reflection, Co-Curricular training and concerts that indeed focus on the boys’ best interests. Our parents volunteer endlessly for pick-up and drop-offs, reading groups, coaching, tong-turning on BBQs, library tasks and assigned roles in Class and Whole College Masses. It is the faith, love and organisation by Mums and Dads that give the best platform for what their son can attempt every time he grabs his green bags.

It is with the highest support of the Junior School Administration team – Mrs Leanne Addley, Mrs Nichole Rouhliadeff, Mr Chris Everding and Mrs Maria Mascadri – that I also acknowledge in playing crucial roles in 2017. They have co-ordinated the most intricate of curricular and spiritual needs for our youngest Villanovans. It is with only the highest of expectations and support that we can accommodate the development of our sons with the finest attention to details and willingness to make the most of new opportunities in our community.

Junior School boys of 2017, I highly commend your intentions, presence and memories you have given us. We are richer in our profession for having worked with you, we are blessed for the laughter we have shared with you, but above all we are truly eager to continue watching you in the years to come. Remember the Junior School Precinct days as fondly as we do.

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”

-St Augustine

VISUAL ARTS

MS LAURINE FIELD / VISUAL ARTS CURRICULUM AREA LEADER

In the Senior School, our students have had the opportunity to work with artists, to share their vision, techniques and processes. Our Visual Arts in Practice students worked alongside Adam Busby, a designer and mural artist, who specialises in ‘expanding ideas’ to communicate complex themes. The inspiring Lecceto mural lucidly communicates the Villanovan story of ‘Brother’s Keeper’. Busby believes that “design is powerful and can change someone’s mind, someone’s day, someone’s attitude and someone’s world”. This community based project has been a wonderful display of Augustinian values that will beautify our environment and inspire our community for many years. Be sure to visit the mural when next in the vicinity.

The Year 11 Visual Art students have worked with the First Coat curators, Grace Dewar and Ian McCallum, in Toowoomba. They viewed 80 large-scale urban artworks in the local CBD and participated in urban art workshops. The students created a five metre Villanova mural in approximately one hour using spray art and great teamwork.

In the Junior School, Year 6 students experienced a dream come true when they

were able to use Minecraft Education Edition to explore design activities. This cuttingedge project is a great example of 21st century skills in the Visual Art curriculum and was made possible due to Mr Lane’s expertise. Students were encouraged to use collaboration skills, communication skills, creative thinking and a broad range of ICT skills to develop and present an original composition in a virtual art gallery space. The annual Villa Visions art exhibition was a tremendous success with many of our community enjoying the visual displays of talent, inventiveness and artistic skill. It is always exciting to have Visual Art as the focus for the week. For the first time the event was staged in the lower level of Veritas. This allowed for a more intimate viewing of the artworks in a contemporary setting. The exhibition showcased works of a high standard from across the three schools. Villanovan artists from each year level were acknowledged and awarded. The college acquired several student artworks that will be displayed within the Tolentine gallery and around the school. Many glowing reports were made of the Hospitality student’s efforts and the musical

entertainment. Villa Visions raised $500 from the People’s Choice Award sales, AFAS raffles, silent auction and gold coin donations. Funds raised will be used to support local art programs on the AFAS (Australian- Filipino- Augustinian-Solidarity) student exchange to the Philippines in 2018. We are grateful for such a supportive community where we can create art and celebrate our Villanovan artistic achievements. We look forward to another Art filled year in 2018.

PERFORMING ARTS

MRS JUSTINE SILK / PERFORMING ARTS CURRICULUM AREA LEADER

Lawson, Mrs Janet Akenson, Ms Georgia Mills-Geer, Ms Kelson Lee and our Wakakirri Producer Mrs Gina Ellis, we cannot thank you enough for your time, commitment and strive to achieve amazing results with our students.

2017 has been a buzz of activity for our Performing Arts staff and students. From the first days of our Year 5’s entering our classrooms and learning the College songs through to the amazing work of our Year 12 Drama students and their fabulous production of ‘In Tents’, we have had a bustling year of learning, performing and creating and have been excited to share our work with the wider community.

Midway through Term 1, 68 students from Years 5 and 6 began the exciting and creative process of preparing our entry for this year’s Wakakirri competition. Led by a wonderful team of staff, the boys chose to prepare a performance based around Space. We had aliens, critters, rockets and a little boy with a vivid imagination all combining to show the world that there is life all around us and that our life and imagination are an absolute gift. For the performances, the team were joined by 6 fabulous Year 7 students who managed the backstage, props, costume changes and excitement of our Junior School students. The boys excelled in their performances and we were very excited to be selected to receive many prestigious awards including: Best Costume, Best T-Shirt Design, Best Science Fiction Story and most importantly the Best Team Work award. Huge congratulations must go to the wonderful staff who gave up many hours to prepare, rehearse, design costumes and carry out all the behind the scenes work that is needed for our students to participate in these wonderful experiences. To Mrs Sue

In September, the Senior Drama Production titled ‘In Tents’ was presented to an appreciative audience in the Hanrahan Theatre. We again enlisted the talents of Nathan Sibthorpe and Jeremy Gordon from Markwell Presents to work collaboratively with the students in preparing the production. Under their mentorship, and Mrs Julianne Shaw’s vision and expertise, the boys workshopped and presented a very professional and entertaining show. ‘In Tents’ was a show that took us on a journey of the newest boy scouts being inducted into their local branch, The Woozy Sparrow. They embark on an overnight camping trip in a desolate forest with their new branch leaders – the older brothers. The show pushes each boy to face their fears as the older brothers initiate the boys through the Sparrow tradition of ‘The Haunting’. ‘In Tents’ playfully clashes our culture of telling scary stories, with the real underlying fears of a generation dealing with life in 2017. Without a doubt, the Senior Drama production has been an experience that the boys will not forget in a hurry.

Our Classroom Music students had many opportunities throughout the year to develop their skills within the curriculum. The Year 5 students began the year learning key songs associated with the College and wowed their grandparents and staff at the annual Grandparents Day with fabulous performances of the College Anthem and Brother’s Keeper. We had the privilege of hearing some exquisite performances throughout the year as well as some amazing student compositions that were presented in our Senior Music Extension class. The Year 9 to 12 Music students had the opportunity to once again attend The Queensland Orchestras Secondary

Showcase Concert and were amazed at the standard of both our professional musicians and this year’s recipient of the Young Performer of The Year. At the time of preparing this article, we are very pleased to acknowledge that three of our Year 12 students have been successful in gaining a place at the Conservatorium of Music for their University studies in 2018. We congratulate Blake Humphry, Josue Adams and Harry Verity.

Our Junior School boys had great experiences in both Music and Drama throughout the year, having the opportunity to view live theatre and music performances from many professional companies, including The Queensland Symphony Orchestra and drama production group Shake ‘n’ Stir.

On behalf of the 2017 Performing Arts teaching team of Katie Dauth-Sousa, Gina Ellis, Julianne Shaw and Belinda Tucker, I would like to congratulate all of our classroom Music and Drama students for another successful year. Your constant commitment and enthusiasm to the Arts, your desire to look at things from many different perspectives and most importantly for sharing your gifts and talents with the community in both the classroom and at school events, is greatly appreciated. I would also like to acknowledge the commitment and passion of the Performing Arts teachers at Villanova for their endless energy and skill in guiding, managing and inspiring our boys every day.

2018 is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting year with work already underway for our Term 1 production of ‘Footloose’, and staff busily preparing for the many curriculum changes that lie ahead as the new ATAR system rolls out in 2019. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Performing Arts and we look forward to showcasing the many talents we have at the College with you all next year.

MUSIC

MR MICHAEL JONES / DIRECTOR OF MUSIC

2024 were handed their new instruments and the fun of learning began! Whilst we do have a number of important events on our calendar, Jump Start Day is the key event for the beginning of every academic year.

2017 was a busy year of change in the music department at Villanova College. We included participation in some new, exciting activities geared at enhancing our program’s development; our musicians had the opportunity to provide music for our inaugural ‘Celebration of Excellence’ at QPAC; our students participated in two tours across the year; and, we had some exciting changes within the department at the end of the year.

We began 2017 with a sense of quiet optimism and excitement for what the year had in store. As is tradition, around 100 of our more experienced musicians travelled to QCCC Mapleton at the end of our first week of school for the annual Loreto/ Villanova College music camp. Joined by some of our nation’s finest guest clinicians, members of senior ensembles from both schools spent their weekend busily rehearsing and preparing for the year ahead. Our music leaders for 2017 were instrumental in assisting all staff to ensure this event was memorable for all involved.

Enthusiasm was sparked and imaginations fired when we took our Middle School and Senior School musicians to QPAC for the ‘Grand Tannhauser’ concert at QPAC Concert Hall. With over 150 students attending, we made quite an impression on the gathered throng as an orderly mass of Green and Gold moved through the Cultural Forecourt and into the theatre. The concert comprised music from Wagner, Glass and Rachmaninov, with performances from Sommerville House student Leanne McGowan, and 15-year-old Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev. Our students left inspired by the quality and nature of these performances; it was a most enjoyable morning out.

Every year we welcome a new cohort of Year 5 students into our program at Villanova; this year we welcomed almost 160 new musicians into the band and strings program. After a fortnight of demonstrations and testing, our class of

Led by Mrs Silk (band) and Ms Byrne (strings), ably assisted by the instrumental music team, our Year 5 musicians spent a day in the Augustine Centre learning about the wonders of ensemble music making. During this action-packed day of tuition (we manage to work a term’s worth of lessons into one day) our students are enlightened regarding how we collaborate as musicians in a large ensemble. From knowing where to sit, whom to listen to, how to match sounds, and the meaning of the signals from the conductor, we kick-started our Year 5 ensembles for the year. As per tradition, our evening concluded with a concert for parents; needless to say, there were many standing ovations!

Term 2 witnessed a change of format to our Debut Concert series. Rather than three distinct band, string, contemporary concerts, we mix-and-matched ensembles from Junior, Middle, and Senior School to provide three different evenings of entertainment across the first week of June. Each of the events were well attended and afforded all of our families opportunity to witness music from across the program. Whilst it was a nice change to routine, this format will be revised for the coming year. Across the end of Term 2 and over the winter break, around 90 Middle and Senior School musicians participated in our tour program. Almost 50 Middle School band and string students, accompanied by five teachers, travelled to The Cathedral College, Rockhampton to participate in the Catholic Education Music Camp. Our team joined with students from across Central Queensland, forming combined ensembles and working with attending staff to prepare a concert for families and invited guests. Villanova parents were able to view this concert via an online streaming portal. The students had a great time sight-seeing around Rockhampton, and enjoyed the opportunities travel brought. They were all excellent ambassadors for their families, our College, and themselves and are to be congratulated for their efforts.

Over 40 students, four staff, and two parents made the journey to Rhapsody Rotorua during the winter holidays. This tour to New Zealand combined performance opportunities, cultural exchange, sightseeing, and adjudication over a 6-day period

on the North Island. Most memorable of this tour was our performance at Rotorua Primary School. After our students performed, the entire school stood up and sang as a means of thanking us – it was amazing! Our students acquitted themselves incredibly well, earning one of two gold medals presented for their performance in adjudication at the Festival. Again, all are to be congratulated for the way they represented the College, their families, and our Country.

QCMF loomed on the horizon again in August and we prepared as a department with a series of pre-QCMF performances, allowing our students to have a final ‘hitout’ before festival in front of an audience. This did seem to prepare our students well as there was a general improvement in standard across Villanova Groups this year. The feedback received regarding QCMF 2017 has been fantastic. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organising group, organising committee, wonderful volunteers, and the College for their ongoing support of this event. We are told that the festival has such a great supportive, friendly atmosphere, this would not be possible without the enormous support we receive from the broader Villanova community every year – thank you. This year we had the students from St Mary’s Auckland visit. The ‘twitter’ around the festival site was incredible regarding their performances, and they were great ambassadors for their school too. We look forward to more visits from these students in the future.

Our Irish Ensemble and Big Band were again regular ambassadors for the College in the local community with both groups appearing at many school fetes over the year. From St James’ Church Multicultural Day to the Loreto College Live and Wired Event, the students in these ensembles continue to share their gifts freely with the broader community. These performances are so important in terms of promoting our school and our program to the broader community; I continue to be pleased and proud of the work these students do for us. The highlight on the Villanova musical calendar is our afternoon of Strings and Choirs in the Cathedral. On the second-last Sunday of October, all of our string and choral students combined to produce a wonderful aural feast of music to share with friends and family in St Stephen’s Cathedral. I would like to commend the work of Ms Christine Byrne, Mr Tim Sherlock, and our string and choral staff for leading our

students in producing this fine concert. As a department we decided to enter our students into the Prestige Music Fest; a similar activity to QCMF but comprising schools from across South East Queensland. Whilst we were cognisant of the time pressures this may create, the educational benefits of viewing excellent ensembles of similar age to our students was incomparable. It gave our students a ‘taste’ of what other schools experience when they visit us for festival – in a slightly more competitive atmosphere! Our students performed exceptionally well with many groups earning Gold Awards for their performances. I would like to make special mention of Jazz Ensemble and Ms Collier for their Plantinum Award, and the rhythm section of the Big Band who received a special award of recognition.

2017 marked a large break from tradition for Villanova College with the inception of our Celebration of Excellence at QPAC during

Term 4. Whilst the focus of the evening was on celebrating academic achievement across the College, the music department had the fantastic opportunity of providing music before and during the event. Many of our chamber ensembles performed around the foyers of the Concert Hall to our gathering guests and award recipients.

Our Senior Choir, Symphonic Band, String Sinfonia, and Irish Ensemble 1 provided music throughout the evening. It was a great inaugural event; I am looking forward to many more in the years to come.

Our year concluded with a combined guitar concert held in Hanrahan Theatre during the final week of November, and included students from Loreto College, Anglican Church Grammar School, Villanova College, and Paul Svoboda’s Azure community guitar ensemble. Each ensemble had an opportunity to perform for family and friends across the evening, with the grand finale comprising two works performed by

all performers combined. This was a great night and a fantastic precursor to our guitar workshops to be convened in 2018.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Stephanie Carlson and Mrs Sharon Williams for their tireless work with our Music Support Group. These two wonderful parents have given their time freely in support of Villanova Music, most recently as President and Vice President (respectively). As their youngest graduate the College at the end of the year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them personally and on behalf of our community for their leadership and effort in improving musical opportunities for our students.

Thank you to all families and members of our broader community who continue to support music at the College. I look forward to working with your sons this coming year and seeing you all at one (or all) of our excellent performances.

MINISTRY REPORT

MR JOHN HOLROYD / VICE PRINCIPAL - MINISTRY, MISSION AND EVANGELISATION

a series of well-planned events. At the helm was Daniel Duskovic, AFAS President 2017 and deservedly the Villanovan of the Year. He was the front man who humbly delivered a series of personal stories about the people whom AFAS is privileged to encounter in the Philippines.

Pope Francis states that “education is an act of hope.”

The work of the Ministry students in 2017 has made a big difference to the Villanova community this year. In a year of building issues, the student leaders in ministry remind us that it is the people who create the College.

– Psalm 127

AFAS and Mission Day

It is the 25th year of AFAS, and 2017 has been a wonderful year for the Augustinian solidarity that exists between three sister schools in the Philippines and ourselves. Every time we go on the Exchange visit, we receive a great deal: we receive once again the gift of vibrant hospitality, where people are more important than things; we receive the gift of knowing and seeing how our decisions and generosity make a difference to struggling families; we receive the gift of wider vision – knowing with the heart that we are the lucky country…and for some, we receive again the gift of our own faith, which comes to life in a place where nothing can be taken for granted.

A great deal of preparation went into the Exchange, whereby 18 students and 8 staff members were able to spend two weeks in the Philippines at our three sister schools: Divino Amore (Cebu), Colegio San Augustin (Bacolod) and Our Lady of Consolation (Murcia). The spiritual and mental preparation were well provided by College Chaplain, Fr Peter Wieneke, AFAS Coordinator, Tony Hindmarsh and unflagging staff assistant, Ed Havelock. But what was particularly impressive in 2017 was the way in which the AFAS students themselves woke up to the privilege of being ambassadors for the whole college.

This meant that right throughout the year, an informative and urgent conversation took place with the boys, through assemblies and

The key event was Mission Day. With invaluable help from Matt Davies, Daniel set very high targets: we would raise $20,000 for the first time and we would ensure that as many sections of the community were actively helping with, enjoying and learning from the day. It was the best ever Mission Day by any measure. Not only were we within a whisker of reaching $20,000, but also there was a great cor unum spirit on the campus. It felt like we were truly giving the best of ourselves through Mission day. The actions after the Exchange have been equally impressive. The College has heard how the funds raised have assisted students to attend high school who otherwise would not have that opportunity. Moreover, discretionary funds have been spent on projects like extending a community centre, and a feeding program for children and mothers. Another legacy will be the design and creation of an AFAS garden as a sacred space in the Senior School precinct. Even more, AFAS came back and helped support the running of a Middle School disco and this looks like being a regular community event in future.

St Vincent de Paul (SVP)

Under the calm, persistent and humane presidency of Angus Tracey, SVP have also had an exceptional year. Two sets of hampers have been delivered to local families, as usual. What has been most significant, however, is the leadership offered by Angus and his team in creating and running social justice events. The sleep-out and homelessness conference were a highlight of the year, with over 30 students sleeping rough on the quadrangle. Beforehand we welcomed about 25 students from Loreto and Lourdes Hill to our fourth homelessness conference. First of all, we gathered shyly round the Rosies van for tea and coffee and to donate supplies. Then we moved into The Hanrahan Theatre to hear from Anthony Forshaw (SVP) and a wonderful speaker from the Ozcare men’s hostel, who shared the wisdom about resilience gleaned from being on and off the street since he was seventeen. Galvanised by these talks, the students assembled about 90 care and hygiene packs for Ozcare, Rosies and a domestic violence shelter. The other main SVP sponsored event was

the Ministry Gala Night to conclude the year. The main aim of the evening was to appreciate the sterling efforts of the Year 12 Ministry students by serving them. In this regard, and with generous support from 8 staff, a pop-up restaurant was created at the top of Veritas, and a gourmet dinner served. Students from Loreto, San Sisto and Lourdes Hill were included and a lovely occasion unfolded. There were six quick-fire speeches from recent students of each College, with each speech designed to point out ways of staying involved in community outreach, whether locally or overseas.

YAYM

Right throughout 2017, YAYM kept driving and stirring the Middle School – in a good way – to look outward and provide service to others. The weekly meetings typically attracted 30 or so students and YAYM kept on getting things done, from visits to the residents of Archbishop Duhig Village to Mother’s and Father’s day stalls to a film competition and the usual cupcake drives. The Advent visit to our friends at Duhig Village summed up the spirit of YAYM. The incoming leaders, Luke Palmer and Isaac Langford, worked overtime to create a packed program of music, bingo, a quiz and a poetry performance, all of which was slickly linked together by outgoing President, Zane Genrich. Twenty-one students mingled with the residents, played bingo together and sang carols together with great gusto. In our break-up – at a high class local fast food outlet – a number of Year 9 students made speeches about what YAYM has meant to them. Particularly heart-felt was Isaak Collie’s exhortation to younger students to keep on transforming the community through giving – and to keep on realising that it is itself a gift to have such opportunities for service.

The Light on the Hill

In 2015, the College began to look for a way to diversify the culture and to ensure that the founding principles of Catholic education continued to burn brightly on our campus. To this end, we quietly took on two students of refugee background in 2016. Originally from Rwanda, these brothers have slightly changed the DNA of the whole college – and for the better. This year the older brother has graduated, having established the legacy of the Talent Quest. We also took on two new students, originally from Mosul. These two young men, who have just completed Year 10, have been a credit to themselves and the College in their thirst to make the most of every day and in their love of learning. The Villanova Old Boys

“If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do the builders labour.”

have quietly funded these full bursaries. I am sure St Mary Mackillop would approve.

Concluding Remarks

Our Mission Statement talks about education as “the formation of the whole person” within “a faith community.” The most obvious and natural expression of a generous and humble heart is to reach out the hand of friendship to others, on campus, on our doorstep, and in sister schools overseas. The Mission Statement also urges that we send out young men of Gospel values to shape a better world. For these reasons, Ministry is a crucial and leavening dimension of the College. What has happened in 2017 has simply been the

translation of the ideal into a reality – thanks to an exceptional cohort of young servant leaders.

And in centuries to come, these men of Villanova

Will strip their blazers and show their Ministry badges

And say, “These symbols of service I gained at Villanova

Along with Fab the King, Daniel and Angus Casey, and Oli and Matt Davies…. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…” (With apologies to Shakespeare and Matthew Davies.)

MASS OF HOLY SPIRIT

LITURGY

FATHER PETER WIENEKE / COLLEGE CHAPLAIN

There is a saying of St Augustine’s which we keep in mind when fashioning prayer ritual at Villanova. It goes, “make of your heart a nest for the word of God”.

At the beginning of each teaching week, at the staff briefing on Monday mornings, the prayer derives from reflection on a Gospel reading. A short time later, students reflect on the same scripture reading and are invited to pray in response to the word they have heard.

On several occasions the whole College gathers for Eucharist, great care is taken to proclaim the scriptures in a fitting manner. Music, song, drama and silence might accompany the proclamation so that we build the ‘nest for the word of God’.

When the whole College assembles to mark the liturgical seasons or events of national significance such as Anzac Day, our ritual always includes scripture broadcast with understanding. Then there is time for reflection and response.

At our chapel Masses during the school week, the homily always responds to the scripture which has been proclaimed by a student after careful preparation. In this way, we trust that the ‘heart which has made a nest for the word’ will give birth to good and great conduct that day.

PRIOR GENERAL’S VISIT

Fr Alejandro Moral OSA, the Prior General (world leader) of the Order of St Augustine visited Australia for two and a half weeks in March 2017.

This visit was part of his goal of meeting each Augustinian community throughout the world at least once during his six-year term of office. His Australian itinerary had him travelling the length of Australia from the Augustinian communities as far apart as Mareeba, Far North Queensland and Melbourne.

Based in Rome, Fr Moral became an Augustinian in 1973. His native country is Spain. Prior to his election to his current position in 2014, he had been an Assistant General in Rome for twelve years. Earlier in the year he conducted a similar visit to the Augustinians in Japan and South Korea, and attended planning meetings in the Philippines.

The Order had its formal early-medieval beginning in the year 1256. Since the 1950s the predecessors of Fr Moral as Prior General

have come from Germany, Spain (two), Italy, Ireland, the two from the United States; many of these friars had two consecutive six-year terms of office.

The Order of St Augustine is present on all continents, working in over forty nations. It is little wonder that it takes a Prior General six years to visit all Augustinian communities, especially when visitation is additional to his executive leadership role that is conducted from his office in Rome.

FATHER SALDIE’S ORDINATION

On 27 May 2017 the Australasian Province of the Order of St Augustine celebrated the priestly ordination of three of its friars, including Fr Saldie Resolado. The ceremony took place at St Kieran’s Church, Manly Vale, Sydney. Friars of the Augustinian Order have ministered in Australia since 1938

AIC ECUMENICAL SERVICE

WITH WAYNE BENNETT AS GUEST SPEAKER

On 2nd February, the opening of the AIC sporting season was held at Villanova with the annual ‘Ecumenical Service’. This is always a special occasion to have representatives from all of the AIC schools together, and a chance for us to celebrate the wonderful broader community we are a part of. The College was represented by our College leaders. The boys took part in a leadership presentation involving Wayne Bennett. Michael Jordan famously said, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I have been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed”. It is a timely reminder that sometimes in sport we make mistakes, miss a shot, lose a game, don’t get selected in the team we think we should be in. It is how we respond to these challenges that lay the foundation for us being resilient not just in our sporting endeavours but in our general life.

MUSIC OF ST AUGUSTINE

“AUGUSTINE - THE WAY. SONGS OF LOVE, LOSS AND LIBERATION”

Tony MacPherson, past staff member, and Simon Hyland (’93) produced their first album called “Augustine – The Way. Songs of Love, Loss and Liberation”, featuring performances by Simon Hyland, Samantha Shaw and Caroline Mulvenna. The concert tells a story, and it is truly a good story. It is Tony’s hope that this concert will bring Augustine’s journey of restless search and illumination to a new audience.

“What a truly incredible and life changing experience to me in all aspects of my life. I can’t stress the utmost gratitude and thankfulness I have to the school and the staff (especially Tony), for letting us boys get the opportunity of going on this trip. What this trip has done for me is something I can’t truly express and bring justice to on paper. The development this trip has given me as forming myself into the young Villanovan man is something that I am so thankful for and will keep with me for the rest of my life. Even though times have been quite hard for me on this trip, and I have really expressed this through a cry or two. Showing this emotion has truly emphasised the importance of this trip and the impact of what we have done has had on me in relation to opening my eyes to something greater than myself. This notion that I have developed on this trip is something that I will now be able to take with me for the rest of my life, and I am grateful to the school and staff for giving me the chance to achieve this.”

“Seeing what people over here have to experience has truly given me the understanding of how lucky I truly am in all aspects of my life (socially, physically and financially). This awakening I have experienced has really given me the motivation to live my life in less of a selfcentred way. This is something that I will carry with me, and I have made a promise to myself that I will live my life to better the lives of others. Because I have come to the realisation that if I am able to change at least one person’s life for the better, my time here on earth was a great success. Unlike my previous understanding that success was only really determined by money and social power, now I can see that to really live a purposeful and successful life is all about the way of treating other people and helping the lives of people in need. And thanks to this trip I have now been able to start this journey.

Thank you so much for giving me the chance to come on this trip. “

“This year’s AFAS Exchange was an experience I will truly cherish and never forget. From the days of hard work in the sun, to the days of relaxation and meeting new and interesting people, I feel I have certainly grown as an individual following my experience on this exchange. The confrontation of sheer poverty as a result of circumstances has made me appreciate everything that I have been blessed with in Australia to an extent that would not have been possible without such an experience, and for that I am grateful. Through the immersion in a foreign culture, and especially one as hard pressed as the Philippines, I have been able to further evaluate what truly matters in my life. By comparing the two cultures side by side I have witnessed that money is not what life is all about, but through generosity and compassion, we truly have the greatest influence on others. I have also witnessed the beauty of face to face interaction and how we can impact lives by just talking to someone. I am truly grateful I was able to pursue this opportunity and learn more about myself than I ever thought could be possible. Thank you.”

“This year’s exchange was great. The people it was shared with could not have been better. The people that we met along the way were amazing, the new and longlasting friendships have truly made this exchange the best it could possibly be. This exchange has truly opened my eyes greatly and has shown me what some people have compared to all of us and how fortunate we are to have a proper house, water, and food. The hard labour that was encountered was a great experience as it was something I have never done before, and it showed how well the 26 of us worked together to accomplish the mission. Overall, this exchange is something I will never regret going on as I have formed stronger relationships with teachers and fellow students.”

“This AFAS Exchange has probably been the most impactful two weeks of my life. Over the exchange’s duration I have felt I have grown as a person and developed a better understanding of poverty. I was inspired by the tenacity and resourcefulness of the Filipinos I met who even though they have so much less than we do in Australia are able to carry on and make the most of their lives. This has changed my understanding of successful ministry from providing resources and comfort to upholding and improving human dignity. I was also struck by how easy it was to make friends and relate with the Filipinos we met in the schools and communities. I know this experience will impact me greatly when I return.”

“My goal when we departed for this trip was to be able to help and experience the struggles others face throughout their lives. I feel blessed to be able to do this. Over the exchange I have met people, done things and seen places which I will not soon forget. I am grateful that I was able to experience these events with all of the AFAS 2017 participants (students and staff). You all have taught me so much.”

“Live. Love. Learn. Express.” AFAS 2017

“The 2017 AFAS Exchange has truly been the most influential event and journey of my life that I will never forget. Over the past two weeks I have found myself experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions from times of intense happiness to finding myself crying. The exchange has pushed me beyond my limits and comfort zone, changing my view point on poverty, religion and my blessings in life.

At the start of the trip and before departure I took my life for granted and all the gifts in life I have in Australia. Most shockingly the small items have touched me the most. These are the items that many Filipino people go without daily, such as food, water and shelter, all items that I expect having without question of what others are going without. This truly showcased to me how selfish I am, and many Australians are. Together as people we need to stand in solidarity and help our brothers and sisters out.

Despite all the shortcomings and poverty in the Philippines the people are so incredible, hospitable and welcoming, with all we met welcoming us with open arms. Their kindness and friendship are present in all the schools and communities, with many friends touching my heart and providing me with knowledge and messages that I will take back to Australia and my personal life, such as kindness, respect and humbleness. The Filipino people are deserving people who are as entitled and in many cases, more entitled to the education and life that we are gifted with in Australia. Words cannot describe how much the stories and people that I have met have changed my personal mindset and outlook on life as well as touched my heart.

As a participant of the exchange I can say with absolute honesty that the money raised back at Villanova is going to an entirely deserving cause and each single person that is changed by donations, projects and scholarships is incredibly grateful for your donations and financial support and to all Villa boys I would like to challenge to raise

more money as even just a $30 donation on Mission Day truly changes the lives of many. The scholars that we support are truly grateful for their education and the families we visited appreciate our support and words cannot describe how grateful they are for education and I will take that back to Australia and value the opportunity that I am gifted at Villa. What we do not just as AFAS but as Villa is truly changing lives and I am so glad that I was able to be a part of this journey.

The immersion into the Filipino way of life and culture has truly opened my eyes and changed my life. Even just being their friend for a day makes a personal difference to their lives, it gives the people hope and shows solidarity between us and has made me realise that there is no difference between us Australians and the Filipinos, we have just been blessed with different circumstances. I truly want to thank all the staff for allowing me to join this journey and I have a new fond respect for all teachers and their lives over here. I am so grateful for this opportunity and words cannot describe how much this experience has changed me and how much I appreciate it. I hope to be back. Thank you AFAS.”

“Thank you to all involved in the 2017 AFAS Exchange for allowing me to share this amazing experience with them. I feel as if I have grown as a person and have had my eyes opened to, and given a greater understanding of the issues around the world. I will never forget these 16 days.”

“I came on this trip, for the most part to help people, and to witness the famous faith of the Philippines. I believe that both of these goals have been more than simply met, and as such this entire experience is something I will never forget. The friends I made, the sights I saw, and the good I truly believe we did, are all things I will hold close forever, as I hope those people whose lives we changed hold our memories close. From churches to comfort rooms, my experiences have changed who I am, and for that I am so grateful.”

“For me, there are so many reasons why this year’s exchange has been incredible. Being immersed into the Philippines has been an experience I will never forget, and one I will hold dear to my heart forever. One of the best parts of the exchange was going to the scholars’ houses and hearing them talk about their dreams and hopes for the future. Personally, I’m someone who believes in following your dreams, but in Australia a lot of the time excuses are made for why it’s impossible and can’t come true. So, by hearing their dreams it helped support the level of importance I give to following my dreams. Because kids my age have been brought up in an environment where the likelihood of going to college is extremely rare, and have lived seeing suffering and poverty every day of their lives and still have hope that they can achieve their dreams then why can’t I follow my heart and aim for the stars?

Also, it was amazing to see the emotion of each teacher, father, son and so on. It was during these snippets where I realised the importance of the trip and the meaning of our work. It was like seeing the passion pour out of someone when they’ve put in so much hard work and then having it come to something. Just awesome.”

“I am very grateful that I was able to share this experience with the other 25 AFAS participants. This experience was a real eye opener that I shall forever cherish.”

“Love what you do. Do what you love.”

INAUGURAL JAPAN FOOTBALL TOUR

Over the Easter break 24 football students from Years 10, 11 and 12 were fortunate enough to visit Osaka, Japan on Villanova’s first ever football tour. Accompanied by Mrs Julie Davies, Mr Len Catalano, Mr Blake McLauchlan and Mr Paul Gribben we were all excited and eager to catch a glimpse of the Japanese culture and understand their football expertise and techniques. The Japanese didn’t let us down, as expected, they were extremely friendly, respectful, courteous and very knowledgeable.

We stayed at J Green Football Academy where we got to see firsthand how their athletes train, all day, every day! And it was clear from the start we had a lot to learn from them. We played five games and had two training sessions, and although we didn’t cop a win, we gained a football experience unlike anything we would have

had in Australia. We learned how different their style of play was and how they viewed football as a whole. With their unfamiliar warm ups and fast paced possession football it was intimidating but at the same time educational.

It wasn’t all football though, we were fortunate enough to experience a typical day at one of their high schools, an amazing traditional tea ceremony, visited the heritage listed Jimej Castle, took an exhilarating ropeway ride, visited Universal Studios and even had a go at Japanese calligraphy. The highlight to top it all off was watching a live J League game at Gamba Stadium, this in itself was an unforgettable feeling. To our surprise, it seems as though in most places we visited the Villanova crew were the main attraction. We were stopped many times by locals just to have photos

taken with us. This of course gave us a bit of a buzz!

Finally, we have to thank Red Lion

Football for organizing such a memorable experience, to the teachers and coaches who made sure we didn’t get out of line and got us home safely, and of course to our parents for their many months of fundraising just to get us there. Thank you to all for allowing us this incredible opportunity. It is no secret that the Japanese take pride in everything they do, whether it’s sport, academics, their culture or just having a one on one conversation with you. They are a truly inspirational society and we were all so very fortunate to be immersed in it even if it was only for 1 short week.

NEW ZEALAND RUGBY TOUR

On April 1st, the Andrew Slack and Ben Mowen squads jetted across the Tasman Sea embarking on a memorable trip to New Zealand for the 2017 Rugby Tour. Touching down in Christchurch, a group of 47 Villanova boys boarded a bus beginning a journey down the east coast through Dunedin and Queenstown. We came up against fierce competition including St Bede’s College, McGlashan College, Kings High School and Wakatipu High

School. Each fixture was an unforgettable experience for each player. To compete against international opposition is an opportunity most of us will never have again. When we weren’t taking on Kiwis, we were spoilt by their beautiful country and what it has to offer. Fears were confronted on the high ropes course and shot over jet, minds were tested by the freezing waters whilst river rafting and our bodies were pushed by buffet after buffet. But most of all

we had fun whilst forming new friendships and strengthening bonds within our team. By the end of the nine-day tour, the group of boys that landed in New Zealand, left a team of men with memories to be cherished. On behalf of every player on the Rugby Tour I would like to take the opportunity to thank our parents, staff and coaches who made this successful tour possible.

CHICAGO EXCHANGE

The Student Exchange program occurs between Villanova College and St Rita of Cascia High School in Chicago. This was the second exchange and was another success with our five students able to meet with Augustinian brothers from across the world and share the similarities and differences between their schools and cultures. While in Chicago the students spent time in the classroom, at St Rita sporting events, seeing the magnificent sights of Chicago and most importantly, spending quality time with their billeting family. The same occurred back at Villanova when the St Rita students arrived and the families went to such lengths to ensure they had a good time. Life-long friendships have been made through this program and we look forward to continue to offer it every year.

STEM CLUB

2017 saw the introduction of the Villanova STEM Club for students in Years 7-12. The goal of the club was to allow students to engage in a co-curricular activity that offered a fun and challenging opportunity in which they could learn science, engineering and technology skills. As well as building on their ability to display skills in planning, creativity, problem solving and team work, which are essential requirements for future STEM related subjects and careers. The students took part in two competitions throughout the year, including The Engineering Link Group: Spaghetti Bridge Building Competition and the First Lego League Competition run by Macquarie University. They also participated in an excursion to the Mathamazing exhibit at the Science Centre at the Queensland Museum.

I would also like to acknowledge the bravery and ‘never give up’ attitude shown by our Year 6 team consisting of Ethan Delaney, Declan Stanley, Thomas Winn and Heath McPherson. The boys had a little hurdle at their very first debate, when they realized that there was an error in the topic they were arguing 20 minutes before they were due to debate. Instead of panicking, the boys huddled together with the support of their Senior coach Ramzi Matta and prepared their debates ‘off the cuff’. Their coach Amanda Waterson said ‘I have never felt such a sense of pride as I did that night – I was blown away by the maturity they

The boys were just fantastic in rising to the occasion and whilst I was getting close to a nervous breakdown they (including Ramzi) took it in their stride, didn’t throw the towel in and made the best of a bad situation – so much so that the Adjudicator on the night commended them on that very thing in her feedback’. Congratulations boys, this is what the Villanovan spirit is all about!

The success of debating at Villanova would not be possible without the hard work from so many. I would like to thank the coaches, parents and students for their dedication to debating this year. The debating season is a long one and requires late nights and extra work during busy periods of assessment. This dedication to team work and academic rigour is wonderful to see.

We look forward to our teams continuing success next year.

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS

MRS KATH UNDERHILL / TOURNAMENT OF MINDS CO-ORDINATOR

Once again, the interest in this program was great amongst the Villa students, who embraced their given challenges with great enthusiasm and gusto! Six teams worked for just on five weeks to solve challenges in the four different disciplines, and then present at the Regional Finals held at Guardian Angels, Sunnybank on Saturday 26th August. An abundance of creative and critical thinking genius oozed out of these great lads as they competed against 14 other schools in the Brisbane South Region. From this first round, one Secondary Language Literature team, the “Joizy Boyz” progressed through to

the State Finals, which were held at Griffith University, Gold Coast on Sunday 10th September. Congratulations to all students who participated, and to your wonderful teachers (Maria Mascadri, Terri Dillon, Georgia Mills-Geer and Leanne Addley) for their mentorship of you clever thinkers! The TOM program is open to students from Years 5 to 10, and Year 11 and 12 students are more than welcome to assist with mentoring and facilitating their younger peers. We begin our training workshops in late Term 2, and then into fierce problem-solving mode at the beginning of Term 3.

SPORT

MR CRAIG STARIHA / DIRECTOR OF SPORTS

As I write my annual report, it is an opportune time for me to reflect on the year and to extend my gratitude to the many people within our community who have been involved in the Villanova sports program. Sport is ingrained into the culture of ‘all boys’ schools across Australia and Villanova College is no exception. Put simply - boys enjoy sport. It comes as no surprise that one’s participation and involvement in sport, among other things, can break down the barriers and allow friendships to form within our College community. Our main aim at Villanova is to ensure we provide opportunities for all of our students to become involved in sport so that each boy experiences the positive benefits of being involved and spending time with their mates along the way.

It is important at our College to ‘look after’ those who are newcomers in our community, particularly those who are transitioning into the College from other schools. Every year we greet a new intake of Year 5 and 7 students and our task is to make these boys feel welcome and to provide them with opportunities to grow and develop across many areas. Participation in sport provides a great avenue for this to occur. The sporting program at Villanova is not just about aiding a boy’s physical development and general well-being – it is so much more. When a boy dons the green and gold for Villanova, he learns the importance of being a valued member of a team and an equally important member of the Villanova community. It is where a boy can learn about having pride in himself and in his school. Our students understand that hard work and good preparation are needed to succeed, and when the chips are down you have to dig deep and support each other in times of difficulty. The experiences which the boys receive from playing sport become life-long lessons, which could be applied to many facets of their lives.

The overall culture of a College is formed

by the participation, individual gifts and passion from all members within the community including parents, staff and students. Building a positive culture within a school takes many years to develop. It can also take one year to destroy. The Year 12 cohort were reminded on many occasions that they have a responsibility to uphold the positive culture of the school and to ensure that they hand over to the next generation of students a school which is in a better state from that which was given to them. I congratulate the 2017 Year 12 students for their great work given throughout their final year and I thank them for their contributions made over their entire time at Villanova. I am sure many of the fond memories they have of Villa were formed around the sporting arena.

Throughout the year, I have witnessed many great contributions made by our students and their families, particularly in the area of sport. The grit and determination shown by our students each week as they prepare for competition has been very pleasing. Our success is largely due to the hard work put in at training over the season and has been fundamental to Villanova’s success this year. The generosity of our parents, old boys and staff, who give freely of their time to coach, manage, umpire, score, serve at canteens, etc. is paramount to the success of our sports program and I sincerely thank all those who have assisted in 2017.

I wish also to acknowledge the efforts of the ‘Villanova Sports Club’. This group is a parent driven body who meet regularly in order to provide support and assistance to the Villa sports program. The support ranges from manning canteens for weekend fixtures, the organisation of fundraising events, providing funding for sports related projects and much more. The annual Sports Club Luncheon together with the Derby Day Luncheon were the two biggest fundraisers in 2017. These two events raised over $50,000 this year which reflects the significant positive contribution and passion our parents have in support of the College. A generous amount of funding this year was committed towards a project to install and upgrade new Track and Field facilities at Villanova Park including a tartan long and triple jump pit, a high jump fan, shot circle and discus circle. The work achieved by the Sports Club only adds to the positive culture within the College as well as being an avenue for parents to become involved and to socialise with others within our community. On behalf of our entire community, I thank our Sports Club

President – Mr Jeremy Meredith and his team of supporters for their excellent efforts. At Villanova, the boys do very well in the team sports offered as testified by the premierships and aggregates. Moving forward we aim to lift our performance associated with the AIC Championship events. The 3rd place in Cross Country and 5th place in the Year 7-12 Swimming Championship and 1st place in the Year 5 and 6 Championship are pleasing results. However, the 8th place in Track and Field this year is something which we need to improve upon. We believe that if a student is good enough to represent the school in a particular sport then he should feel obligated to do so. If all families share in this belief and all students train and do the necessary work before competition, I believe Villanova College could do even better in each of the championship sports. It would be remiss of me not to mention our greatest achievements this year, which include the titles listed below:

•AIC Basketball Champion School (title held for three consecutive years)

•AIC Golf Champion School (title held for two consecutive years)

•Swimming Champion School Years 5 and 6

•Swimming Age Champions Year 6

I would like to acknowledge the great work accomplished by my colleagues in the Sports Office including Mr Blake McLauchlan (AIC Co-ordinator), Mr Chris Everding (AIC Co-ordinator) and Mrs Erika Schofield (School Officer – Sports Office). My thanks and gratitude is also expressed to the Sports Co-ordinators including Ms Barbara Dewis (Volleyball), Mrs Kate Alexander (Swim), Mrs Sally England (Chess), Mr Brett Morrissey (Cross Country), Mr Sean O’Neill (Basketball), Mr Adam Fry (AFL), Mr Matt Conlan (Golf) and Mrs Kathy Underhill (Tennis). There is much work done behind the scenes and these people go about their business without fuss but their contribution should never be under estimated. Thanks team!

Finally, to the students who participated in school sport this year, I was impressed by the way in which you have conducted yourselves as representatives of our College, I offer you all my congratulations. Your success and sportsmanship has made this year a thoroughly enjoyable one.

MR ADAM FRY / AIC AFL CO-ORDINATOR

What a fantastic year for Villanova AFL. In the inaugural AIC Competition, we had over 60 players don the green and gold for what was a terrific season of footy. It was fantastic to see, from the very first trials back in 2016, the eagerness and determination to do well and compete amongst some of the big AIC schools. From the first weekend both Matt Conlan and I could see the fight in these boys across all grades and that never let up until our last game.

A special mention must go to the

6A - Undefeated Premiership Team

It was incredible to watch your skill, teamwork and of course sportsmanship across the whole competition. Unfortunately, our other three teams fell just short but I know that we are all keen to get stuck back in for next season. I applaud all players on their continued effort, respect and camaraderie amongst the group and

it has been a huge thrill for both Matt and I to coach the boys throughout the whole season.

I would like to say a big thank you firstly to all the parents for your continued support and running around for each boy to ensure that we had such a successful season. I would also like to say thank you to Craig, Erika, Blake and Chris in the Sports Office for all your work behind the scenes to ensure a fantastic season. Finally, I would like to say a massive thank you to all coaches: Sean, Joel and of course Matt, for your hard work and dedication to these players throughout the season. Without our coaches our season would not have been even close to what it was and the boys thoroughly enjoyed having you all show them your skills and commitment to the cause.

It has been an unforgettable season of Villanova AFL and that would not have been

possible without all our players putting in one hundred percent week in, week out. I look forward to trials and training getting underway at the end of 2017 and cannot wait for round one in 2018.

AIC BASKETBALL REPORT

MR SEAN O’NEILL / AIC BASKETBALL CO-ORDINATOR

The 2017 basketball season was another tremendous success. Having won backto-back aggregate championships in basketball, we were well placed to do so again. To the credit of the players and coaches, we were able to achieve a

3rd

Aggregate Championship

by an impressive 13.5 points. This again shows how dominant we are in this sport and a wonderful achievement from everyone involved.

Villanova entered 33 teams across Years 5 to 12 and of those, 18 won a premiership, that is an amazing feat, and another 5 were able to secure second place. This again shows the dominance that we displayed as a school. Special mention to the Year 6 and Year 7 teams who won premierships in all of their divisions.

The 1st V team had an impressive season against some very tough opposition. Ending the season 4-3 was a tremendous effort and just reward for the players who have given so much to the program over so many years. This year saw the team fall behind in some games but their grit and determination shone through and came back to clinch

some tough victories. Perhaps the greatest highlight of the season was their win over SLC where they entered the fourth quarter down by 14 and came back to win.

Another special achievement was the QLD Basketball Schools Cup that we entered this year for the first time. Combining some of our 1st V with some younger developing players saw a good mix for the four-day tournament in September. After topping our pool games, we entered the finals and culminated in a fantastic victory in the Grand Final against St Andrew’s College from Cairns. The victory allows us to move up a Division next year, which should allow for even more competition against elite schools from all over Queensland.

What also can’t be overlooked is the tremendous support and following that basketball has received from the Villanova community. Game day has become a really entertaining spectacle with prizes, competitions, raffles and highly entertaining games. This has been due to the work of the Spirit Committee and all students and parents who come along and create such a wonderful atmosphere for the students to play in.

A special mention must go to all of the coaches. The hard work and commitment that they put in to teaching skill work and game play has been a considerable reason behind our recent success. This year has seen us with the best line-up of coaches ever and the skill and experience they bring has been invaluable.

The other new initiative that has been a tremendous success has been the two High Performance Squads this year, which ran throughout the first semester for selected students in Years 8 to 12. With training by an outside company to increase the agility, footwork, speed, fitness, and then skill work with our two external coaches meant that the squad members were well prepared for the season. The dedication by these players was tremendous and certainly aided in being so successful this year.

2018 planning is already underway with tours planned, High Performance Squad training and extra tournaments to ensure we continue with the momentum that we have. I look forward to seeing us continue to improve the skills of all players in the program.

AIC CHESS REPORT

MRS SALLY ENGLAND / AIC CHESS CO-ORDINATOR

The inaugural season for The Black Knights closed with an exciting final night against Ashgrove where, by the end of the night, the Open Team won

the Premiership

The four fantastic players were - Aidan O’Donnell, the quiet one; Alex Ilka, the youngster; Lachlan Perrier, the extrovert; and Theo Samios, the very excited captain. Aidan, who had not played for the team before, was awarded the Best and Fairest Player for the senior group for the season. The year started with trials in Term 1, which again saw large numbers of students vying for the positions in the three levels of AIC competition. By term’s end, and after much deliberation and hard fought games by the boys, a final team was decided. This year, C teams were also introduced into the competition, but were not included in the aggregate score. Congratulations to all the boys in the C teams who participated in our coaching, practices, championships and games where possible. These teams will continue to be part of the College Chess Team, always striving to gain a position in AIC. The Senior C players were – Fabrice Ragoo, Matt Clarke, Brody Roper, Angus Boyer and Ethan Bell. The Intermediate C team was Xavier Simondson, Blake Waugh, Alex Bryant, Callum Moses and Peter Samios; and finally we have our large band of enthusiastic juniors – Oliver Wills, Lachlan Brown, Max Lee, Mattias Cotroneo, Liam Little and Seb Wilson.

Both Senior A and B teams also had good rounds of competition to contribute to the overall position of the team. Senior B had a great turn around after being very close in the first three rounds but being unable to break through until a successful win in round four, which continued for the rest of the season. The Black Knights won through, always believing they could have success. Senior A and B players were Sam Stenson, Tom Balshaw, Hudson Rogers, Nathan Whitby, Alex Wang, Kieran Dooley, Max Eberhardt, Jack Gerrard, Andrew Worthington and Danny Chung (Vice Captain). Danny was awarded the Most Improved player this year for his wonderful contribution to his team.

The Intermediate teams also had a fantastic season.

Intermediate A Team won the Premiership

With the loss of only one game, the team consisted of William Ilka who won every game that he played – a fantastic effort for William who was awarded the Best

and Fairest player for the Intermediate Group. Connor Leahy and Tom Stenson alternatively played position 2; and Aiden Lee and Mason Luu played in positons 3 and 4. Aiden also had a fantastic year only losing three matches out of 14 in the whole season, a great win percentage, and was awarded the Most Improved Player for the year.

Intermediate B Team won the Premiership

They had a wonderful year, only losing one game to St Laurence’s, our old rival, but triumphing with the aggregate to have a very successful year. The team consisted of six players who alternated to allow everyone to play. The team was – Tom Hoctor, Harry Blaser and Daniel Waugh who played positions 1 and 2; and Connor Whitby, Patrick Bryant and Christian Dang who played positions 3 and 4. The boys played together in the junior teams, and they have continued their winning streak into the intermediate level. I look forward to seeing them improve every year as they go through the system.

The junior teams also managed to be the top team in the junior aggregate as they have for the last three years. Both of the teams remain undefeated.

Junior A won the Premiership

Junior B gained second position due to a draw. Team A was – Seb LoGiudice (awarded Best and Fairest for the season), Alex Hulme, Harry Bryant and Tom Winn (who lost only two games the whole season and was awarded The Most Improved Player). Team B was - Joe Hoctor, Marc Sylla, Fionn Rossi and Max Blaser. This was a fantastic effort again for the younger boys as most of them were in Year 5 and new to the College this year. Again, we look forward to watching these young men progressing through the levels.

It is also great to see how we have a number of family groups participating, with two boys from each of these families - Ilka, Whitby, Samios, Blaser, Hoctor, Stenson and the three Bryant brothers.

It has been a wonderful season with many people to thank: Mr Stariha and Mrs Schofield who were always in the background helping in any way they could; the parents who brought the boys to and from the practice and competition every week; and Mrs Blair who provided the team with food and drink when we played at home. We also have to thank our new coach Charles, who provided invaluable information and support by attending our

games and reviewing them in the following week; our two old boys Matt Richards and Owen Perries, who, each week, helped and supported the juniors and Mrs Warren, who joined us for the first time. This year the Championships continued and included the senior competition. The following boys eventually won through in hard fought competitions. The senior inaugural competition winner was - Alex Ilka. The Intermediate winner was - William Ilka and the Junior Champion was - Alex Hulme. Congratulations to all the boys for their wins.

The season and the wonderful results could not have been achieved without all the people involved, but more importantly, they would not have been achieved without the boys coming and playing for two terms to reach their potential. It has been a great achievement to go from seventh for the last two years, to second and winning four Premierships. I would like to acknowledge and thank the support and help of Theo Samios the Captain, Danny Chung the Vice-Captain and Alex Wang, three boys who went beyond the call this year, both in their playing and in their organisation during each week and each game night, both before and after the games. So, congratulations to the whole team for your persistence and dedication throughout the semester. We look forward to doing it all again next year.

“ In life, as in chess, forethought wins.”

AIC CRICKET REPORT

MR CHRIS EVERDING / AIC SPORTS CO-ORDINATOR

Villanova began Term 1 sport confidently in cricket, as we chased back to back aggregate shields, with 18 wins and six losses against SPC in Round 1. A ‘heatwave’ unfortunately cancelled all fixtures against SLC in Round 2, before winning all matches against SEC in Round 3. Villanova won Round 4 against Padua 21 matches to 11, Round 5 against Iona 19 matches to 12 and Round 6 against SPLC 11 matches to four. The final round against Ashgrove was always going to be tough but having beaten all of the other six AIC Colleges in the previous rounds, we were confident that our sides were going to be competitive and that we could possibly come away with six aggregate premierships.

Congratulations to the 8B and 7B sides for winning aggregate premierships and to the 8C, 7C and 7 Gold teams, who were the only non-aggregate premiership winning teams. Unfortunately, the 2nd, 3rd, 10A and 10B premiership games all came down to the final round, but Ashgrove were too strong on the day.

Overall Villanova finished 3rd in the aggregate behind Ashgrove and St. Laurence’s College but we were really only seven wins away from retaining the aggregate shield. The two rounds against Padua and SPLC hit us, as a few teams lost very close matches.

In the Junior School, two sides: 6A and 6 Green, went through the season undefeated, while the 6B and 5 White sides only lost one game each.

Congratulations also to the following Year 7 to Open Teams for their top three finishes:

2nd place- 3rd XI, 10A and 10B

3rd place- 2nd XI and 9C

AIC Cricket Premierships and Undefeated Years 5 and 6 Teams/Coaches:

8B – Ryan Carr

8C – Neville Jeffs

7B – Ravin De Wijeyeratne and Damon Mulcahy

7C – Ben Lynam

7 Gold – Matt Smith

6A – Stewart Rieck

6 Green – Matthew Watson and Dominic Coote

Many thanks go to the following people who coached a team this year, your efforts have enabled the boys to not only get a game but learn how to work hard and achieve very good results all season;

Staff: Matt Smith, Ben Lynam and John Holroyd.

Parents: Mitch Castles, Stewart Rieck, Phil Horton, Neville Jeffs, John Godwin, Rob Cole, Rohan McCaul, Bruce Stuart, Michael Lee, Mark Eustance and to Lee Parker and Jamie Mullins (past parents) and Gary Mulcahy

I would like to make special mention to the following group of Old Boys who have returned to the College and helped with the program. Some of these gentlemen are only in their first year out but they have made the effort to get involved and the impact they have had on the boys, particularly the Junior School boys has been invaluable and they all thoroughly enjoyed having these men as coaches:

Nick Underhill, Patrick Weightman, Dylan Foster, George Koulouris, Tom Delaney,

Matt Donegan, Josh Wall, Wilson Lam, Matthew Pertnikovs, Emmanuel Alexion, Sean Parker, Josh Fraser, Adam Loudon, Ben Keller, Jacob Mulcahy, Louis Carlton-Jones, Dominic Coote, Matthew Watson, Ben Stuart, Jack Blanchfield, Josh Mullins, Aidan Dooley, Jun Tominaga, Gus Hicks, Tom Valetic, Max Clegg, David Lloyd, Zac Genrich, Damon Mulcahy, Ryan Carr, Lachlan Wolf, Matthew Keller, Harry Stanfield, Justin Lee, Will Stokes, Ravin De Wijeyeratne and Sean Finnimore.

Without the support of the parents and Old Boys, it would be difficult to field all of these cricket teams, so again thank you.

Thanks also to the self-elected cricket managers who assisted with the running of matches, organised rosters, scored and organised morning or afternoon teas for players and their families.

Term 4 saw 22 teams take to the field in the Zone cricket competition, including eight Year 4 teams. Villanova was crowned Club Champions in the 2017 pre-Xmas competition thanks to a much-organised group of parents in Ross Whitby, Phil Horton and David Short, along with Andrew Challinor, Mick Druery and Jeff Ilka. These men managed to raise the profile of Villanova in the club scene and we were able to get a further six teams to play this year. Term 4 cricket is driven and run by Villanova parents and their commitment will no doubt strengthen our cricket results in the future. Thanks also to Nathan Dufty for coordinating the coaches and helping to run training sessions for many of our cricket teams and to David Short for his invaluable assistance with the cricket program.

AIC CROSS COUNTRY REPORT

MR BRETT MORRISSEY / AIC CROSS COUNTRY CO-ORDINATOR

Villanova cross-country enjoyed another successful season in 2017. The squad placed third at the annual AIC championships held at Limestone Park, Ipswich. This was an improvement on their fourth place at the championships last year. Although no year levels won a premiership, this great result is a reflection of improved consistency within the squad.

The College enjoyed unprecedented individual success also, with three students winning their individual races and two students coming second. This is an incredible achievement when you consider that there are 96 runners in each race. To win, you not only need to prepare extremely well, on race day you also need to overcome nerves, illness and the potential to trip in a race of that size. These fantastic individual performances are outlined below:

Year 5 – Ryan Siebel - 2nd place

Year 6 – Mitchell Rieck – 1st place

Under 12 – Cohen Stewart – 1st place

Under 13 – Jacob Dimmick – 2nd place

Under 15 – Jaxon Paterson-Wright –1st place

I have a huge amount of respect for all these runners. Cross Country is a tough sport, and I burst with pride when I see runners wanting to push their personal limits. There were several runners this year who trained consistently over the three months, and their dedication and subsequent improvement went a long way towards securing victories in the three divisions mentioned above.

Villanova College staff involved with Cross Country this year were Mr Brian Pascoe, Mr Kane Corby, Mr Matthew Conlan and Mr Brett Morrissey and they were joined by Old Boy Mr David Barton (Head Coach Under 12 to Open), Mr Tom Lonergan (Head Coach

Year 5 and 6) and Old Boy Mr Isaac Lubrano. I know all the runners appreciate the great

culture that has been brewing in cross country at Villanova for a number of years now. The staff thoroughly enjoy it also – to see new runners emerging each year and striving to push their personal limits is very rewarding as a coach.

The Open Squad were aiming for a third straight premiership in 2017. Fellow squad captains Mr Ashley Bacon and Mr Reid Zemek came to our final training session to add a few words of inspiration, and last year’s captain Mr Callum Davies was present at the Championships to encourage the boys before their run. Each one of the Open Team gave 100% at the AIC Championships. The points were as close as they have ever been – I know the lads are content to come away without the win because they know they fought as hard as they could to give it every chance.

Congratulations to all AIC cross country runners for their efforts throughout a very successful season.

AIC GOLF REPORT

MR MATT CONLAN / AIC GOLF CO-ORDINATOR

On Monday 23rd October, five of Villanova’s finest golfers returned to the challenging Indooroopilly Golf Course as defending champions of the prestigious Balharry Shield. Jordy McGarry (Year 8), Jack Milner (Year 10), Nicholas Halstead (Year 11), Shayle Korander-Matheson (Year 11), and Nixon Smith (Year 11) mastered the challenging course again on their way to an impressive title defence. With the weather threatening to play havoc and what was a hotly contested event, they remained calm in the trying conditions to run out event winners on a countback.

The Balharry Shield is a teams’ event, with each school in the AIC Competition entering up to five players. The winner is declared after the aggregate of the best four nett scores per team is calculated, and in the event of a tie, the fifth player’s score is counted. At the close of play, Villanova was tied on 298 points with St Edmund’s College. After an anxious countback, we were declared, by two shots, the

2017 Champions

Throughout the day, individual prizes were also up for grabs with players having

the opportunity to win nearest the pin, longest drive and second approach shot competitions. Congratulations to Jordy McGarry who won a nearest the pin and the second approach shot and Shayle KoranderMatheson who also took home a nearest the pin prize.

Our boys showed great sportsmanship and were excellent ambassadors of the College throughout the day. There is no doubt that we will be back again to defend the shield next year and make it a three-peat! Well done boys!

AIC FOOTBALL REPORT

MR CHRIS EVERDING / AIC SPORTS CO-ORDINATOR

Thirty-six sides took to the field this year in the AIC Football competition. This is the same number of sides as last year and just over 1/3 of the teams either won a premiership or went through the season undefeated. Overall, this is an outstanding result for the College and the future looks strong based on the participation levels and results of the teams in the Year 5 to 9 age groups.

Aggregate Premiership Teams: 9B 7A (Undefeated) 7B

Special mention needs to be given to the 9B and 7B sides who both had to win their last match against Ashgrove to leap frog them for the premiership. In two excellent tight games, Villa defeated Ashgrove, 1-0 and 2-1 respectively to clinch the premierships. The 7A team had two draws and no losses on their way to winning the premiership by 1 point over Iona and Ashgrove.

The following teams went through the season Undefeated: 5th XI, 9 White, 8C, 8 Green, 7 White, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6 Gold and 5B while the 7th XI, 8B, 7C and 5C sides only lost one match.

The aggregate placings after the 2017 season were as follows: Ashgrove 71.5, Iona 70.5, SLC 63, Villanova 57, SPC 44.5, Padua 42.5, SEC 41.5 and SPLC 40.5

Looking towards the 2018 season based on this season’s results, Villanova is in a very strong position. If the aggregate table was taken on the Year 7 to 9 age group, then Villanova would have finished first, in front of Ashgrove, SLC and Padua. Our Year 6 boys ALL went through undefeated and will add strength and points to the aggregate.

What we will need next year is for our Open Teams to gel early and work together to build a strong Open campaign. These boys will need to step up, play hard and fight to earn their jersey. We welcome Tom Carnarvas to the position of 1st XI Coach for 2018. Tom has been a coach with Villanova for the past couple of seasons and has developed a great rapport with the boys and

parents over this time. His experience and his ability to earn the respect of his players will hopefully pay off in results on the field next year.

We are also very grateful for the time that Len Catalano has been in charge of the 1sts and for the time and effort he put in to developing the boys at our College. Len, an ‘Old Boy’ himself, gave a lot back to the College, while juggling club commitments. We thank Len for taking on this role and for his dedication to the boys.

The success of our football season could not have happened without the positive drive and direction from Michael Rooney who helped guide the many coaches, who volunteered to develop the skills of the students who played this year. Many thanks need to go to Mickey who is shaping the direction of Football at Villanova. On a weekly basis, he moves around each year level trying to get Villanova teams to work on similar drills, play a particular style and have year levels interacting better with one another. Mickey organises coaching sessions and courses for our many coaches and has also been instrumental in acquiring outside coaches, who have come on board with a vision to making Villanova Football a force.

A big thank you to Len Catalano and Shane Stefanutto for all the time they have put into the 1st XI squad. From half way through last year when trials began to the last weekend, these men have put in many hours to get our boys prepared and ready to take on opposition Colleges. Unfortunately, they did not come away with the results they were hoping for but all of the boys represented the College well during every match throughout the season.

The College would also like to thank the following parents for coaching sides and giving up their own family time to spend it with Villanova teams: John Intelisano 2nd XI, Paul Ellison 5th XI, Paul Mulligan 8 Green, Terry Kambouris 7A, Aldo Avolio 6A, George Vasiliou 6A, Simon O’Neil 5A and Sean Hodgson 5 White.

A number of staff also participated in the football program this season and your presence around the boys enabled the

season to run smoothly. Thanks to: Julie Davis 1st XI Manager, Paul Gribben 2nd XI, Darren Thomas 10A, Anthony Kemp 6C, Georgia Mills-Geer 6 Gold, Kirstina Moss 5B, Melissa Wilson 5C, Kelson Lee 5 Gold, Allison Squires 5 White and Nichole Rouhliadeff 5 Green.

Most of the coaches looking after our teams this year were returning Old Boys. These men formed the largest group of coaches we had this season and the reports coming back from parents regarding their interaction with the boys and coaching were very positive, and without them we would have struggled to field all of the teams. I commend their commitment to Villa Football and the enthusiasm with which they have wanted to give back to the College. It would be great to have them come back again next year and assist with the football program: Vassili Stammes 3rd XI, Liam Carlton-Jones 4th XI, Connor Hughes 6th XI, Robert Bolton 6th XI, Dylan Foster 7th XI, George Koulouris 7th XI, Matthew Reece 10B, Henry McGahan 10B, Michael Mascadri 10C, Nick Klaassen 9B, Nick Gauci 9C, Jayden Woolaston 9C, Jacob Mulcahy 9 Gold, Jarrod Koning 9 Gold, Paddy Wallis 9 White, Luke Perkins 9 White, Emmanuel Alexion 8A, Harris Wakeling 8A, Daniello Romano 8B, Rohan Shay 8C, Zac Mroczek 8C, Jun Tominaga 8 Gold, Dante Schick 8 Gold, Jackson Potter 8 White, Ben Jones 8 White, Joseph Iezzi 7B, Hamish Gorniak 7B, Wilson Lam 7C, Jack Stamatiou 7C, Jake Motley 7 Gold, Ryan Picaro 7 Gold, Callum Davies 7 White, Ben Keller 7 White and Tom Spillane 6B.

Games on Saturdays throughout the season would not have gone ahead without the support of parents and students refereeing. There were many games that needed covering week in and week out and I would like to extend our thanks to parents, Richard Danen and Richard Adebiyi for always availing themselves to assist with refereeing. Thanks to students, Hunter Gapes, Ben McGregor, Daniel Halligan, Thomas Knowles and Gabriel Mungarrieta who also answered the call when referees were needed.

AIC RUGBY REPORT

MR BLAKE MCLAUCHLAN / AIC SPORTS CO-ORDINATOR

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Villanova Rugby program for 2017. It was fantastic to see the commitment displayed by our boys and the skill level improve as the season progressed. For all of our boys, trials began in week 9 of Term 1 where 22 teams from Years 5 to 12 were selected and entered into the AIC Competition. Our 1st XV had their first AIC trial against Iona with a solid win, which kicked off the beginning of the 2017 season.

During the holidays our Andrew Slack and Ben Mowen squads gained some valuable experience competing against teams from New Zealand on the inaugural Rugby Tour of New Zealand. Shortly after, all teams were involved in a second trial game against St Peter’s and Ambrose Treacey College. This gave all of our coaches an opportunity to finalise selections before leading into Round 1 of the competition against St Patrick’s. Unfortunately, once again Villanova rugby was plagued with injuries very early on in the season. Our 1st XV and 10A’s in particular lost some very valuable players which made the first few rounds of the AIC competition difficult to take out. As always, the boys did their absolute best to stand up and persevere with solid results against Laurie’s and St Edmund’s. Slowly boys began returning from injury as we approached the back end of the season. This brought some much-needed momentum that was displayed during matches against Padua, Iona and St Peter’s.

Overall Villa placed 5th in the Aggregate. This is the best overall result we have achieved since 2011. Congratulations to the 9A’s who shared the premiership in the aggregate competition. It was fantastic to see teams win this year, who have been unsuccessful in previous seasons. There is no doubt that the Villanova Rugby program is heading in the right direction. There is a lot of work that goes into the selections, coaching and management of the 22 teams that represented the College this year and a huge thank you goes out to everyone involved, for what has been a fairly successful season. We continue to rely on the generosity from parents, Old Boys and external coaches to give our boys a run on the paddock every Saturday. I would like to thank our parents. Thank you to Mr Jon Winsbury, Mr Eddie Harris, Mr Simon Palmer, Mr Derek Thomas, Mr Ian Weston, Mr Phil Brown, Mr Damien Taylor, Mr Mark Eustance, Mr David Hollett, Mr Rohan McCaul and Mr Jason Trevethan. A huge thank you to our Old Boys who helped out this year. Thank you to Mr Harrison Stanfield, Mr Josh Mullins, Mr Sam Harding, Mr Dylan Anderson, Mr Kane Sheehy, Mr Ben Stuart, Mr Jack Blanchfield, Mr Liam McMahon, Mr Kosta Kelley-Reskic and Mr Tom Valetic. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff members who were there to help this year. Thank you to Mr Steve Bremner, Mr Mick Garske, Mr Paul Olsen, Mr Matt Levander, Mr Brett Morrissey,

Mr Stuart Rowland, Mr Peter Simpson, Mr Matthew Smith, Mr Ben Lynam, Mr Mike Lubans, Mr Matt Wilson, Mr Callum Hackett and Mr Cameron Wicks. It is fantastic to have so many staff members who contribute to establishing a rugby culture within the College.

I would also like to extend a massive thank you to all of our members of the Villanova community who offer to help with refereeing and officiating for each of our home games. Thank you to Mr Bruce Stuart, Mr Greg Lloyd, Mr Peter Roberts, Mr Jim Harris, Mr Michael Moloney, Mr Dan Sheahan and Mr Matthew Campbell. We are also very lucky to have students who volunteer to referee. Thank you to Lachlan Kearney, George Myers, Trent Clark, Hamish McKee and Frazer Moloney. Without the ongoing support and assistance from the many members of the Villanova College community, the 2017 season would not have been made possible.

Bring on 2018!

AIC SWIM REPORT

MRS KATE ALEXANDER / AIC SWIM CO-ORDINATOR

2017 marked another very successful season for the Villanova AIC Swim Squad. The season culminated with the AIC Swimming Championships at Chandler, where multiple records were broken in individual events as well as fantastic results achieved in all age groups.

The coaches and managers were so proud of all squad members – those that swam in events and those who were eagerly cheering in the stands. The depth in the Villanova Swim Squad continues to grow, with the Year 5 team placing 2nd in their age group and 1st place for the Year 6 team

I am very proud to say this fantastic effort resulted in the Junior Squad taking out 1st place in the Year 5/6 aggregate

An amazing result to be very proud of.

The 12 Years’ team placed 6th in their age group, 13 Years placed 3rd, 14 Years placed 7th, 15 Years placed 6th, 16 Years placed 3rd,

and our Opens placed 2nd. These results put us in 5th place overall for the aggregate. A very commendable achievement by all boys involved!

My sincere thanks go to the coaches, Kerry Holland and Humberto Angerami and assistant coaches and Old Boys, Felix Bidwell and Lachlan Atkinson. Your commitment and support of the boys is truly evident in the wonderful achievements received at this year’s carnival. Thank you also to the Managers, Ms Kirstina Moss, Ms Georgia Mills-Geer, Mr Jack O’Hare, Ms Terri Dillon, Ms Theresa Henry and Ms Juanita Jacobs. This sport would not be possible without the many hours you spend entering data, timing boys, attending swim meets and providing ongoing support and assistance to the students. We are also very grateful to the parents who have assisted with getting boys to early morning training sessions and helping at the Friday morning breakfasts. In particular, thank you to Mrs Narelle Rieck and Mrs Jane Green, without your co-ordination and cooking skills,

the boys would surely have gone hungry. Finally, thank you to the staff within our Sports Office, Mrs Erika Schofield, Mr Chris Everding, Mr Blake McLauchlan and Mr Craig Stariha.

Congratulations to the Year 12 students who participated in their final AIC representative swimming carnival at Chandler in 2017. These boys have participated with wonderful team spirit and sense of purpose. It was the start of a fantastic final year of your school journey. Well done to our Captain Harrison Rieck and Vice-Captains Roarke Ronan, Connor Wadsworth, Henry Barras and Caden Griffiths. You have shown maturity and leadership and above all have modelled dedication and team spirit. Finally, I would like to congratulate all students who woke up early to attend swimming training and I strongly encourage you to keep up your fitness and get in the pool as often as possible in the off-season –before we know it, it will be time to set those alarm clocks once again…

AIC TENNIS REPORT

MRS KATH UNDERHILL / AIC TENNIS CO-ORDINATOR

The 2017 tennis season kicked off early with tennis clinics and training sessions well attended. Enthusiastic Villanovan players were ready to give it their best for a long season ahead. Additional support has contributed to a more successful season all round, with our overall aggregate ranking climbing from 6th in 2016 to 4th in 2017! Great effort players! Some of our weeks’ fixtures were very close, and our boys need to be commended for their resilience under pressure. There is indeed a surge of talent coming through for the future of Villanova tennis, with the mighty Mascadri

5B Team - Undefeated Premiers for the 2017 Season. This is a fabulous start to their tennis journey at Villanova.

This year tennis was well supported by many. Beginning with the Sports Department, an investment in increasing the number of professional coaches and training time was invaluable for skill development. My many thanks go to the efforts of all managers who worked so patiently with all teams: Maria Mascadri, Michael Mascadri, Paul Mead, Sean Conway, Barbara Dewis, Matt Pertnikovs, Matt Donegan, Ben Stuart and Michael Burchett. We also wish to acknowledge the support and professional input from Clive and the gang from Morningside Tennis Centre. The icing on the cake this year was having so many wonderful parents, who came along week after week to support their own sons and others. Your presence and cheering has been invaluable to the spirit.

The 1st IV had a quality, but challenging, season as a reasonably young squad. Credit needs to be given to our lads for their ability to fight on and enjoy themselves. While they didn’t always get the scores they wanted, they competed every week with pride, and great encouragement and tactical advice from coaches and Manager Extraordinaire Sean Conway. I wish to personally thank Sean, who extended his services to the benefit of Villanova Tennis 2017.

Finally to the players, well done on a hardfought season. All the best to our Year 12 Tennis Aces, you have certainly added to the atmosphere of the courts with your jocularity and spirit. I look forward to working with Villanova Tennis again in 2018.

AIC TRACK AND FIELD REPORT

MR MICHAEL GARSKE / AIC TRACK AND FIELD CO-ORDINATOR

The quality of the athletic performances at the annual AIC Track and Field Championships continues to get stronger each year. Following from last year’s twentysix new individual event records and four new relay records, there were eighteen new individual and one new relay records set over the course of the two days of competition. Jaxon Paterson-Wright (U/15 1500m: Div 1) and the All-Age 6 x 400m Relay team were amongst the record breakers, in finishing 2nd in their events.

The competitive nature of the carnival kicked off with Colleges gathering in the centre of the arena for squad warm-ups and last minute pep talks. Each College then loudly and proudly declared their readiness for the competition with spirited renditions of school chants. After some final words of

encouragement from their squad captain, Connor Wadsworth, the Villanova squad continued its tradition of tunnelling the Open 3000m competitor onto the track. In a titanic tussle, Jaxon Paterson-Wright performed admirably for the College in finishing a close second.

There were many notable performances by Villanova athletes throughout the championships, with Villanova athletes achieving twenty-two first places (21 individual events; 1 relay), seventeensecond places (15 individual events; two relays) and thirteen third places (all individual events). Overall placings for Villanova teams at the Championships were:

Year 5 – 6 Aggregate = 3rd (Year 5 – 5th; Year 6 – 2nd)

Year 7 – 12 Aggregate = 8th

(U12 – 6th; U13 – 7th; U14 – 7th; U15 – 7th; U16 – 7th; Open – 8th)

Special mention goes to the Villanova athletes listed below who achieved first place in their events.

I would like to thank staff members Ms Dewis, Mrs Dillon, Mrs Rouhliadeff, Ms Smith-Rowan, Mr Corby, Mr Pascoe, Mr Rolls, Mr Schiavo, Old Boys Justin Lee and Isaac Lubrano, as well as all of the outside coaches who generously contributed their time and expertise to coaching the Track and Field squad this year. In addition, a special thanks to the sports department of Mr Stariha, Mr Everding, Mr McLauchlan and Mrs Schofield for their dedication towards co-ordinating the season.

AIC VOLLEYBALL REPORT

MS BARBARA DEWIS / AIC VOLLEYBALL CO-ORDINATOR

The AIC Volleyball season began well however Villanova’s endeavour to improve on the previous year’s results was not to be. Villa finished a creditable sixth in the overall aggregate.

2017 volleyball had begun at the beginning of Term 4 the previous year. There were trials for team selections as well as preparations for some teams to participate in two separate competitions prior to the season commencing. In total Villa nominated 19 teams to participate in the AIC Volleyball season. Coaches were challenged in making their selections for those teams. Once again there was a large contingent of boys vying for selection.

This year the College again entered teams into the annual Provence Cup competition. Featuring teams from a number of AIC and GPS schools, the Wednesday night competition served as an excellent preseason hit-out. Villanova entered two teams, 1st VI and Year 10, and while our boys achieved a limited number of wins, the competition provided valuable match practice and helped build rhythm for the approaching AIC season.

The 1st VI Volleyball team also competed in the Churchie Invitational held on November 4th at Anglican Church Grammar School. This competition gives the team an opportunity to play multiple games in one day which is a similar format to what they will experience in the Australian National Schools Cup held in Melbourne. The boys competed extremely well throughout the day and lost a couple of close three set games against top seeds Churchie and Ipswich Grammar School. The improvement in game play was evident throughout the day and the tough competition provided valuable learning experience for the team looking ahead to the AIC competition. Trial games against SLC, Iona and Marist Ashgrove allowed each coach to finalise their team selections. Amid these trials was a coaching clinic for all players to further enhance their skills prior to the commencement of the season proper. The younger players were introduced to some phrases such as ‘Bow and Arrow’ (serving); ‘Pray set out’ (setting) ‘Batman, Superman, Robin, Kapow’ (hitting) and ‘Looking through the net’. These phrases will resonate as each new player is introduced to the

game of volleyball. I encourage all players to reflect on their individual performance to help them in preparations for next season.

I would like to say ‘Thank You’ to all coaches for their time and patience in sharing their knowledge of the game to the players. Thanks must also go to all players and to their parents especially, who come to each game to give support and encouragement during games.

This year we say farewell to a number of families who have been involved in volleyball here at the College since I arrived. Those families are – Cooke (Charlie); Price (Paddy); Rhodes (Julian); Gilhooley (Jack); Templeton (Lochie) and Dwyer (Patrick). The Villanova volleyball community thank you for the memories of your son’s volleyball journey at Villanava.

One family particularly worth mentioning is Brad and Vicki Templeton for their tireless work in the canteen throughout many volleyball campaigns. They were also representatives for volleyball at Sports Club meetings that are held throughout the year.

“Life is like VOLLEYBALL…we SERVE ourselves, we PASS things along, we SET things up, and we FINISH things off. Sometimes we have to recover, but eventually we ROTATE and the cycle continues.” - C. Tracey

VALE CHARLIE FISHER

HOMILY BY FATHER PETER WIENEKE

In 1969 the student population of Villanova was 921. The teaching staff was 30. Of these, 15 were Augustinian (of whom I was one) and 15 were women and men who had not taken religious vows (of whom Charlie Fisher was one). Charlie was lucky, his Grade 4 class only had 45 students. Grade 7 had 51. Currently, 48 years later, the student population is 1250. The teaching staff number 108, all of these are lay men and women. Two Augustinian’s are part of the non-teaching staff.

The changes at Villanova over these years include:

a transition from the use of corporal punishment, to the use of detention and The Definition of a Gentleman, to the use of Restorative Practice as a means of assisting students to right relationships;

a transition through seven Augustinian Rectors to two lay Principals;

a transition from governance via the Augustinian House Chapter to that of the College Council (on which Charlie sat for 4 years) and recently, the College Board, what hasn’t changed is the Augustinian spirituality and pedagogy that is the hallmark of Villanova.

One stable figure through these and other changes in education has been the person of Charlie Fisher. Commencing as the teacher of Year 4, over time, he equipped himself with tertiary qualifications to rightfully influence and participate in the development of the College as an educational community in the Augustinian tradition. This speaks loudly of Charlie as a lifelong learner and agent of change.

Charlie has been the living proof of the words of the first reading, “there is a time for every purpose under heaven.” A time to

play and a time to work hard, and if in the play there were self-inflicted consequences through staying up late on a camp or after a school celebration, then you still turned up to work and worked hard. A time to overlook boyish mistakes and a time to challenge wrongful behaviour and “don’t lie to me son, I will get to the truth and then you will really understand the meaning of ‘Vincit Veritas’ ”. A time for informality and a time to “pull your socks up and tuck your shirt in son”. A time for tough love and a time for compassion. One of the first lessons that, as a young priest, I learned from Charlie was the need to reach out to those who grieve. Whenever there was a death in the College community, Charlie would unfailingly be one of the first to call on the grieving family. A time for Cadets and cadet camps, rugby coaching, to be a ref to be a manager. A time to coach and referee basketball, to conduct International Carnivals/Musters, for volleyball, athletics, and swimming coaching, organising and supervising dances, for the Old Boys Association and their functions, several half marathons, etc etc.

Times pass, and over time Charlie went from a newly married man, to a father of three, to a grandfather of six. Yes, there was time for family. Times when the girls thought no boy would show interest, too scared of Mr Fisher. Times when timing was important. Marg and Andrea co-operated and Marg gave birth to Andrea at the time when Charlie’s Grade 9 religion lesson plan dealt with baptism. At the time the curriculum called for it, Andrea was born and baptised in the Villanova Chapel with Grade 9 religion students as guests. There were those many times when Marg and Charlie opened their home in hospitality to other staff and for a couple of years to Year 12 students. Students were invited into a home to discuss and ponder

the topic of marriage and relationships with a couple generous and realistic enough to share their joys and sorrows, successes and failures in their marital relationship.

Of course, Charlie, Marg and the girls so often lived their family life under the gaze of the Villanova student body. Augustine wrote, “teachers offer themselves for imitation”. You may judge the truth of this in the case of Charlie from these messages sent to Charlie: “you had a huge impact on my life, through the way you led your life, you taught what it is to be a good man” and from a ‘86 student: “when I have a difficult situation I ask myself ‘What would Charlie do?’ ” In addition, a current Principal wrote, “I valued the professional relationship you offered and established whenever I came to an interschool sporting event held at Villanova. As a young teacher, I learned from you and tried to copy you.”

Charlie wanted us to gather at this time of his funeral, not in Goold Hall, but in this church and at Eucharist because he had a faith and life in Christ. Those of us who knew the source of his goodness can imagine him using the words of St Paul, “If our life in Christ means anything to you, be united in your convictions and united in your love. That is the one thing that would make me completely happy.”

The last words Charlie spoke to Marg and Nicole were: “I need to make an announcement”, not exactly the familiar ‘your attention please’ but close. As Charlie had not spoken for a day or so Marg asked in earnest, “What about, Charlie?” “About the train station” said Charlie. “We will take care of that Charlie”, Marg replied.

Relax Charlie. Those of us here today will take care of the Villanova you have left us.

College Anthem

When the sons of Villanova gather in some other year, When the blue and purple night calls us to draw near, Loyal Sons of Villanova sing a hymn of praise, To our dear old alma mater and our College days.

Brother truth you warmly gave us; On this rock our lives stand fast, Godly vision held before us, vision that will last, This believing and receiving – knowledge from above, Villanova, truth will conquer, but in all things love.

When the final flag is folded, When the last roll call has been, When the paling sunset darkens o’er the gold and green, We shall come to alma mater in our dreams again, With a prayer for Villanova and a last Amen.
