70 Years

on our present and future. These include our aspirations for high standards in academic, cultural and sporting activities as well as building a lively community in which these activities take place. They include the fundamental aspiration to be intent on God.”

and breadth of our connections as a community are tested and realised.

Pope Francis, in his Apostolic letter to all consecrated people, encourages us to, “Look to the past with gratitude, live the present with passion and embrace the future with hope.” 2018 marks the 70th year since the foundation of Villanova College as a fledging school for boys on the Northside of Brisbane. It has been a year of reflection for our College community: of remembering with gratitude our past, enthusiastically living our present and planning with hope for our future.

We are reminded of the humble beginnings of our College in a post war economy where families had little, and countries as well as families were rebuilding following many years of scarce resources. Education was regarded as the means to a brighter future particularly in terms of employability. The Catholic Church acknowledged the primary importance of Catholic schools conducted by religious orders as significant partners in educating young people in the Catholic faith; the means to achieving healthy numbers at Sunday Masses.

Reflecting on the past, we are grateful for the pioneering work of the early Augustinian Fathers. In those early days, they faced many difficult situations and yet, through their hard work and dedication to their vocation and profession, they were able to touch the hearts and minds of families and students and build an exceptional, flourishing community of learning with strong enrolments and a fine reputation for educating boys.

In the introduction to the book, One Mind, One Heart, commemorating the first 50 years of Villanova College, Fr Michael Morahan, Rector of the College at that time, wrote the following words: “Often communities and organisations at this phase in their history are concerned with remembering and writing down what has happened. So it is with us, but not for the sake of the past. We are more concerned for the future. We are concerned that the aspirations of the participants in our story are distilled and brought to bear

Fr Morahan concluded by writing, “It is not for us to be slavishly concerned with past ways of doing things. Rather the story (of the past 50 years) is a challenge to us to creatively respond to new situations with the true values of our tradition just as our predecessors did in the beginning.” This means keeping one eye on the richness of the tradition and one on the present-day culture and living both with passion. At this present time, the Catholic Church and Catholic schooling face many new situations. The allegiance of Catholic families to Catholic schools has diminished for a variety of reasons. The increasing secularisation of our society, the findings and repercussions of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and a growing disaffiliation from the institutional Church have all impacted on the Catholic schooling sector; enrolments are no longer guaranteed or taken for granted.

The present-day challenges offer us opportunities to discern ways of responding to new situations with the true values of our tradition. St Augustine’s vision of a community where members are “one in mind and heart on the way towards God” challenges each of us to play our part in forming such a “lively” community through a spirit of inclusivity, acceptance, friendship and honest, open relationships. Families, students and staff form partnerships that sustain the challenging work of educating young men. Our educational endeavours are further supported by past students and families who give generously of their time to mentor our young men in sporting, cultural and academic pursuits. I congratulate and commend our prize-winners throughout the year, each of you deserve the recognition of our community for a job well done. To aspire for high standards and achieve at the highest level requires dedication, determination and discipline. Each of you deserves our applause and our admiration for your achievements.

Through the variety of supporters’ groups, year level social events and activities, College families have numerous opportunities to be connected. During 2018, there have been many occasions when the strength of our community has sustained us all. It is in times of great need and vulnerability that the depth

An Augustinian education focuses on the development of the whole person. Augustine reminds us that the Spirit works through both the Book of the World and the Book of Scripture. Through the work of the Augustinian Education Commission, chaired by Fr Peter Wieneke OSA, the two Colleges in Australia have formulated the characteristics of the graduate of an Augustinian School. These characteristics are viewed through the lenses of humility, interiority, community, restless search for truth and ongoing conversion. The Villanova College graduate is a young man of faith who is growing in knowledge of the world and of his own self; a man of compassion and care for those who are struggling; a man who embraces others and learns through relationships. He is never boastful or arrogant but possesses a quiet unassuming quality that comes from understanding life is a continuous journey of learning.

For the Villanova College community, 2018 has also been a year of planning for the future - a future full of hope.

The fire at Villanova Park in September 2017 destroyed the Cor Unum Centre and associated grandstand. While a disheartening and disappointing incident, it has provided an opportunity to revise the Master Plan for the park. Stage One sees the building of a new grandstand and amenities including changerooms. New storage facilities will be provided to accommodate machinery and work tools. Stage Two will see a new function centre, improved parking and traffic flow, and stronger connections between the playing fields. Villanova Park remains an important and valuable asset of the College, offering a gathering space for our community to enjoy sports, competition, teammates and family connections.

The Master Plan also details a refashioning of the College on our Coorparoo campus. The plan calls for an opening of spaces around a central colonnade which will be the primary thoroughfare for travel across and up and down the campus. The beautiful heritage listed Langlands Building and St Scholastica Chapel will be appropriately situated at the heart of the College. The next 10 to 15 years will see planning for the creation of a new Middle School precinct, expansion of Goold Hall, a new science, technology and engineering centre, a new sports precinct with carparking and student drop off facilities, as well as a new Performing and Visual Arts Centre … ambitious planning for a lively, passionate and future-thinking community

of faith formation and learning.

Stage One, the new Junior School and additional classrooms for the Senior School, commences early next year. The new facilities will provide flexible learning spaces, enabling a range of experiences to be explored by teachers and students. Our facilities planning is always informed by deeper understanding of how boys best thrive and learn.

Supporting the capital development work is the new College Foundation. We welcomed Mr Ben Thurlow, Foundation Manager, to the College in August and, with the support of the Management Committee, work has begun to engage all in our community with visioning for the future.

Next year will see the introduction of the new Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and the introduction of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). Over the past 12 months, there has been extensive planning and professional development to ensure our teaching staff and our students are ready for the new system. I am confident the support we continue to offer our students and families will provide a smooth transition.

My special thanks to the members of the teaching and support staff. Our Villanova College community is significantly enriched by your professionalism and generous commitment. You are critical stakeholders in what continues to be a real and flourishing partnership with families and students. I am grateful to each of you who contribute to the great strength of our community as we seek to be ‘one in mind and heart on the way towards God.’

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, Past Prior Provincial, and Fr Peter Jones, Prior Provincial, as well as the Brisbane Augustinian community who keep our College in their prayers and thoughts. In 2019, Fr Peter Wieneke OSA will continue in the role as College Chaplain in a parttime capacity as his Provincial Council commitments will become increasingly demanding. Joining Fr Peter will be Fr Saldie Resolado OSA who will commence in the new role of Augustinian Campus Minister.

The Villanova College Board, Parents and Friends Association, Sports Club and Music Supporters Group have all worked tirelessly for the College. These volunteers give substantial time and talent to our 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 John Christie, Mr Matt Levander, Mr Greg O’Neill, Mr Stephen Rouhliadeff, Ms Sally Byron and Mr Matt Conlan – I offer my special thanks for your guidance and wisdom. I wish to acknowledge the enormous number of hours these selfless leaders have given to the College during 2018. 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 ongoing 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 a challenging and fulfilling vocation -

it requires a commitment of the heart, soul and mind. Every child deserves a champion - an 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 create the environment where young people can grow and become active shapers of the world - who will not simply survive, but will thrive in the world they help to shape.

As our 70th year of Villanova College draws to a close, I would like to share with you words of wisdom from Pope Francis:

“Recounting our history is essential for preserving our identity, for strengthening our unity as a family and our common sense of belonging. It calls for following in the footsteps of past generations in order to grasp the high ideals, and the vision and values which inspired them, beginning with the founders and the first communities. In this way we come to see how the charism has been lived over the years, the creativity it has sparked, the difficulties it encountered and the concrete ways those difficulties were surmounted. We may also encounter cases of inconsistency, the result of human weakness and even at times a neglect of some essential aspects of the charism. Yet everything proves instructive and, taken as a whole, acts as a summons to conversion. To tell our story is to praise God and to thank him for all his gifts.”

I look forward to serving the community of Villanova College in 2019. God bless.

GRADUATION CEREMONY

ADDRESS BY MR MARK STOWER / PRINCIPAL /

Ladies and gentlemen, members of staff, parents and extended family members of our graduating senior students and Year 12 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 achievements and so pleased to see you graduate.

On Tuesday evening at the formal there was a moment that really captured the essence of this group of young men. As the introduction to Ancient Words echoed across the dance floor – you came together arm-in-arm to sing with gusto the words you had sung so many times at the College for one last time - this was a very powerful sign of your strong bond between one another that will keep you safe and

connected through the challenges of the adult world.

This year you embraced the theme –“Where there is unity there is victory”, you knew that in coming together as one that the challenges of this year, your senior year, could be overcome and nothing would stand in your way.

I am reminded of a true story about a student called Rose.

The first day of College our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she revelled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her palm cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.”

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day.

You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did

not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over 2000 college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.

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.

I wish to thank College Captain - James King, Vice-Captain – Hunter Gapes and Student Council President – Liam Hampson, for their guidance and leadership this year. As leaders you have bravely followed your hearts and have been a great support to all the students of Villanova College and especially to the senior students. Our student leaders have done a wonderful job in their respective roles and I thank them for their leadership during 2018.

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 Area 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, always sets the highest standards and has watched over and guided this group with a passion. Remember the wisdom he has shared with you through the many stories, tales and sayings he has shared.

Let me conclude with a prayer for each of you as you prepare to leave this place of learning.

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 70 Years

The Villanova College Board has completed a very busy year preparing for a number of significant projects in 2019. The key responsibility of the Board for governance of the College has seen our attention during this year being focused on three significant areas:

1. Strategic Planning for the future

2. Financial sustainability and

3. Master Planning for the Coorparoo and Villanova Park campuses.

The newly formed Foundation Management Committee chaired by Mrs Paula Hoctor, selected Mr Ben Thurlow as our full-time manager of the Foundation. Ben has commenced meticulous planning to ensure the Foundation will be off to a successful start.

The Financial Advisory Committee, Policy Review Committee chaired by Mr Geoff Egert, Building and Capital Works Committee chaired by Mr Michael Schaumburg and the Succession and Performance Committee chaired by Mrs Donna McMahon have worked tirelessly in their roles to provide valued advice to the Board and to the College Leadership Team. I am grateful for their generosity in chairing their respective sub-committees during this year.

One of the highlights during the year of 2018, was the joint Board Retreat with the

members of the St Augustine’s College Board hosting the Directors of the Villanova College Board. During the retreat the Directors had an opportunity to tour the St Augustine’s College campus and to hear their plans for the future. Much was gained in sharing our collective experience in running a successful Board. We look forward to hosting our brother Board members sometime in 2019. The Board continues to be faced with challenges regarding Commonwealth and State school funding. The current position is now somewhat clearer than it was some months ago, but the outcome of the impending Federal Election could bring a whole new dynamic to the financial wellbeing of the College.

Debts of gratitude are owed to Principal, Mark Stower and his leadership team and to the now retired Board Minute Secretary, Ms Amanda Waterson who gave such sterling service for many years. Our thanks also to Fr Peter Jones OSA for his contribution to the Board. He has resigned to take up his duties as Prior Provincial of the Augustine Order of Australasia. Our thoughts and prayers are with him as he takes on this important role. Our thanks go to the dedicated staff of Villanova College, who continue to make a difference. Also to the parents and care givers who sacrifice much to send their boys to be educated at Villanova.

2019 promises to be a year in which much is anticipated. The replacement facility at Villanova Park is scheduled to be completed in 2019 when we host Iona College for rugby and football.

The new Junior School and Learning Centre will commence construction in early 2019. The College has embarked on a bold and ambitious program to cater for the present and future educational requirements of our Villanova community. The Board is delighted with the outcomes of the consultation process which allowed the whole College community to have input in the final shape of these new facilities. Now that the Master Plan has taken shape, I am sure that the whole community of Villanova College will be inspired to participate in any way possible to ensure its realisation.

Lastly, I give a big vote of thanks to my fellow Directors who generously give their time and talents to ensure that the governance of the College is in good hands.

On a personal note, I was so impressed by the students who attended the Celebration of Excellence Awards night. It gave our Board Directors an insight into what we are striving for at Villanova. Developing, well-rounded young men, with a sense of social justice, ready to make a difference in the real world in the spirit of St Augustine.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

MR JAMES GRIFFITHS

70 Years

2018 has been another wonderful year at the College and on behalf of the Villanova Parents and Friends (P and F) Executive team, I would like to extend a very warm thank you to our College community for the continued support we receive.

It takes a team of dedicated individuals to deliver quality events, services and initiatives. And during my four-year tenure as President, I have been privileged to work alongside many wonderful people.

2018 started with everyone’s favourite, the annual Villanova International Carnival celebrating the Augustinian values of community and friendship and shining a 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 thanks to Cameron Clelland ably assisted by many generous parents and volunteers.

On May 11, we celebrated our beautiful

/ PRESIDENT

Villanova mothers at the Senior School Terrace overlooking the sparkling lights of the CBD. Over 350 ladies enjoyed a night of fine food, an array of cold beverages, dancing and chatting well into the night. A big thank you to all the Villanova fathers who worked tirelessly to ensure the ladies were spoilt on such a special night.

On July 28, the P and F held the 70th Anniversary Ball at Moda Events, Portside Wharf, an important milestone worthy of a celebration. The night was met with great enthusiasm by our Villanova families selling out well in advance. Canapes on the deck overlooking the river gave guests an opportunity to mingle before enjoying a wonderful three course meal and dancing well into the night. Nicole Binney, Jilane Anderson and team worked tirelessly to bring the event together so successfully. Thank you ladies for your commitment to what was truly a wonderful evening. Through funds raised running these events, and with thanks to my wonderful team and

supporters, we delivered many projects over the last four years including;

• Installation of large fans in Goold Hall;

• Seating to the outdoor basketball courts;

• Complete renovation of Goold Hall canteen;

• Installation of cold-water bubblers throughout the College;

• Sponsoring many parent presentations featuring guest speakers;

• Purchase of a relocatable fridge;

• Installation of new shade sails to Ostia Square;

• Commitment to assist the funding of the significant upgrade to the Tolle Lege Library.

It is my last year as President and I leave the Executive safe in the knowledge that we have an amazing resource available to us. The generous, caring and hard-working mothers, fathers and carers who make up the wonderful Villanova community.

MR JOHN CHRISTIE / DEAN OF TEACHING AND LEARNING

award; effort and determination will ultimately determine one’s level of success rather than simply natural intellect or the number of As achieved or awards received. Carol Dweck and Norman Doidge’s work on growth mindset and neuroplasticity indeed tells us that you can improve your intellect and that individuals are not born with a fixed intelligence.

In February we welcomed back those students in the 2017 graduating cohort who achieved highly at the Scholar’s Assembly. It was fantastic to see these students return and hear them speak so fondly of their time at Villanova, and in particular of their time with their teachers. Each young man had his own story and most had embraced the next stage of their ‘love of learning’ by embarking on their university studies. Harrison Rieck, the College’s Academic Captain and Dux of 2017 was unable to be present, however, he recorded a video address for the assembly which encouraged all students to reach for their best by showing grit and resilience, keen time management and an ability to build relationships with teachers. It was great to start the year with such a powerful message. Term 2’s NAPLAN testing produced exceptional results again for the College. In each of the domains of literacy and numeracy, in Years 5, 7 and 9, Villanova College’s results were well above the State and National Averages. Initiatives to encourage reading have clearly improved students’ ability in this area whilst numeracy continues to be the College’s strength. As the media continues to report a decline in Australian students’ writing, it is hoped over the coming years that initiatives such as ‘Write That Essay’ will continue the improvement in our students’ writing.

Unfortunately, the improvement of specific cohorts of students is rarely highlighted. Growth is far more important than just raw scores alone. In analysing the College’s NAPLAN data, it is very clear that our teachers continue to provide excellent learning experiences and opportunities for our young men to develop their levels of literacy and numeracy; this is reflected in the improvements that occur between Years 5 and 7 and Years 7 and 9.

At the beginning of Semester 2, the College acknowledged those students who had achieved highly across Years 5 to 12 in their studies in Semester 1 at the College’s Academic Assembly. To receive an excellence award for one’s studies, students needed to achieve all As but one in their core subjects. It was clear that many students had listened to Harrison’s words at the beginning of the year as the College welcomed well over 120 students on stage to receive their

To use a sporting analogy, the ‘Premiership Quarter’ that is Term 3 arrived quickly; in an AFL game it is a time when premierships are won when things are tough or tight. For Year 12 students, the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) test is one of these times. The importance of the QCS test in its contribution to a student’s Overall Position (OP) necessitates preparation from the beginning of the year. In 2018, students completed a series of practice writing, short response and multiple choice tests to prepare them for the genuine tests in September. The College offered extra opportunities for practice that included short response and writing task workshops run out of school hours. Large numbers of students took up these opportunities. Collaborative sessions with Lourdes Hill College students were also used for additional practice. I thank Mr Jamie Seefeld and the teachers who supervised QCS practice sessions for their dedication to the program. The provisional QCS results released in November indicated that the College can look forward to some of our best results. 58% of our students received an A or B on the QCS tests; the College’s third best performance in the last 11 years. As a school community, we look forward to welcoming our high achieving graduates of 2018 at next year’s Scholar’s Assembly. To cap off a successful year, 100% of our Year 12 graduates achieved their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), the first time this has occurred at the College. Mr Matt Lalor’s work in monitoring each of our Year 12 student’s progress was central to this accomplishment. Apart from the many opportunities to celebrate the successes of Villanova students within the classroom, several students embraced the school vision for 2018 of ‘leading learning’. One of the best examples of this was the Homework Hub. The College’s Academic Captain, Asier Goni, initiated and drove this initiative which saw a group of Year 10, 11 and 12 students provide tutoring assistance to Junior and Middle School students each Tuesday and Thursday morning. It is hoped that this will continue in 2019 and be a source of academic assistance to all students wanting it. I thank all these fine young men for giving of their time each week. Much research is presented each year on the benefits of a range of educational factors contributing to the academic improvement of students. Some of these factors include classroom design, the use of technology and a student’s interactions with his/her peers. However, there is absolutely no doubt that the

teacher in the classroom is the most significant factor in a student’s academic progress and growth. For approximately five years, the College’s Collaborative and Reflective Practices (CRP) program has encouraged teachers to build strong relationships with their colleagues, share their knowledge and skill, and look for opportunities to grow as professionals. 2018 has seen the CRP program continue to go from strength to strength, with ‘pods’ of teachers across the three schools involved in reflecting on their practice. In addition to this, a new action research pod was formed with the specific intention of investigating how feedback contributes to student success in the classroom. The College hopes to continue growing this program in 2019 to involve more teachers. I thank Ms Kristina Whitehead for the incredible work she has done in the space.

In its second year, the Celebration of Excellence was truly a showcase of all things outstanding at the College. It was another opportunity to acknowledge academic excellence, amongst other things. I would like to applaud joint Proxime Accessits for Year 12, Asier Goni and Leo Clarke for their hard work across the year. Both were deserving awardees. The Dux of the College was awarded to a student who epitomised the determination referred to above. As a ‘B’ student for much of his Junior and Middle School journey, Trent Foster worked tirelessly through Year 10 and 11 in developing work and study habits that eventually saw him finish as the top student in five subjects. In speaking with Trent following the evening and asking him what he planned on doing after school, he was proud to say that he wanted to become a teacher.

The implementation of the new Senior QCE and Assessment system commences next year with our current group of Year 10 students to be the first to graduate. Many have chosen to study a pathway that will make them eligible to receive an Australian Tertiary Admissions Ranking (ATAR), which is replacing the current OP. My thanks go to all the Curriculum Area Leaders at the College, not just for their work in developing programs and resources for this introduction, but for all the work they do in leading learning in their respective areas and schools. I also would like to thank the various Program Leaders who work in their specialist areas to support the work that teachers do every day.

I would like to thank all our staff for their work across the year. In my first year at the College, I have enjoyed the support of the College Leadership Team, the staff and the parents. In my conversations with students, our teachers are truly respected for who they are and what they do. The enthusiasm, commitment and knowledge they bring to the classroom each day are factors that assist our students in ‘finding the truth’ and allow them to become active, contributing members of the wider community.

SENIOR SCHOOL

MR MATTHEW LEVANDER / HEAD OF SENIOR SCHOOL

70 Years

Independent Study Program, ensuring that our young scholars have a clear purpose and commitment to their learning pathway. Academic Captain, Asier Goni is also to be commended for the introduction of peer tutoring through the ‘Homework Hub’, a legacy project that will continue to be nurtured in 2019.

2018 was an outstanding year for our young sportsmen. The winning records for the majority of our First teams were a reflection of the commitment of our athletes and coaches. Sports Captain, Nicholas Elsey was a deserved recipient of the Sportsman of the Year prize.

“Education is the mother of leadership.”

“In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.” St Augustine St Augustine’s profound words certainly reflect the reality of the 2018 academic year - the young men of Senior School, led by an extraordinary Year 12 cohort, loved learning and loved the three Vs and in so doing, demonstrated a special character of connectedness and care.

The Villanova College Senior School aims to provide an environment where our students are challenged and supported to fulfil their potential. When boys are ‘called’ to walk the pathway towards manhood, the journey of course is more rewarding and enriching than the ultimate destination. It has been a pleasure to witness the students of Year 10, 11 and 12, grow and develop into the young men they aspire to be.

“We are one, but we are not the same. But we carry each other - one.” Bono One of the core values that has been enlivened throughout the year has been unity. At the beginning of this year, a clear vision was articulated by College Captain, James King that set the platform for what would ultimately be realised throughout the year - ‘where there is unity, there will be victory!’ This theme captured the essence of what it means to be part of the Villanova College family - relationship building. Whilst there has been a number of different chapters contributing to the story of 2018, the one connecting theme evident in this year’s narrative was the strength of connectivity of the Year 12 cohort which permeated throughout the Senior School in all aspects of College life - on the stage of Hanrahan Theatre, the courts of Goold Hall, the fields of Villanova Park and most certainly, in the classrooms of Veritas.

John

The academic culture within the Senior School was further cultivated throughout the year through an emphasis placed on academic mentoring within the

The Celebration of Excellence at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre once again placed the importance of academic achievement and searching for truth firmly in the spotlight. The outstanding achievement of the following students deserves special recognition:

College Dux: Trent Foster

Year 12 Proxime Accessits: Leo Clarke and Asier Goni

Dux of Year 11: Matthew Short and Thomas Pham

Dux of Year 10: Luke Skelton

Year 10 Proxime Accessit: Callum Moses

The journey of this year’s College Dux, Trent Foster provides an inspirational testament to the value of persistence and hard work. As a Junior and Middle School student, Trent’s grade point average was at a B level, however, he certainly proved that effort, application and determination does pay off, achieving A grades across all his subjects in his senior year.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Socrates

The pivotal words of Saint Thomas of Villanova - ‘we are not born for ourselves and the natural gifts and graces we receive are not for ourselves alone, but we have received them for the benefit of all’ - were once again a lived reality throughout 2018 and I congratulate all Senior School students who made a contribution to the College’s co-curricular program.

Across the cultural and music programs, there were several highlights. The year began with the excitement of the College Musical Footloose which energised the Hanrahan Theatre. Musician of the Year, Xander Caulfield and our Senior School musicians once again provided the soundtrack to another wonderful QCMF, whilst Cael McWilliam and our visual arts students are to be commended for the extraordinary exhibition at this year’s Villa Visions.

The capacity of our young men to answer the call of service was evident yet again through the humbling work of our ministries, magnifying the compassion and concern for members of our community. Villanovan of the Year, Liam Hampson’s fervent passion for social justice will certainly be remembered.

Wendell Willkie

The Senior class of 2018 will always be remembered as a united cohort who embraced the value of a holistic education. I would like to thank College Captain, James King, College Vice-Captain, Hunter Gapes and Student Council President, Liam Hampson for their leadership of the student body and all Year 12 students for the positive legacy which you have left. The inaugural guard of honour following the Graduation Assembly was a fitting tribute for your service this year.

One of the core components of the Senior School formation and pastoral care program has been the development of the students’ leadership potential. The further enhancement and contribution of the Cor Unum Committee in fostering College spirit was one of the most pleasing examples of student leadership across the year. The Year 11 cohort has selected a student leadership team for 2019, which promises to deliver. I would like to congratulate Matthew Rolls for his appointment as College Captain, William Barwick for his appointment as Vice-Captain and Nickolas Sofios for his election as Student Council President. I am confident all will serve as outstanding leaders and role models for the student body next year.

“Be the change that you seek.”

Barack Obama

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 College Counsellor; Mr Tass Sakellariou - our College Psychologist and Mrs Joy Browning - the Student Services Officer.

Finally, I would also like to thank all Senior School parents for the support you have given to your sons and the College throughout 2018. When the three-way partnership of students, parents and teachers is at its strongest, our young men of the Senior School are given every opportunity to be great.

“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”

COLLEGE CAPTAIN’S REPORT

JAMES KING / 2018 COLLEGE CAPTAIN

70 Years

project, introduced by the Class of 2018, can be seen as a successful legacy project which will hopefully continue to grow into the future, allowing the bonds between the schools to continue to flourish.

In anticipation of a memorable and rather historic year, the Class of 2018 set itself a number of challenges focused on enhancing all aspects of College life. With a key vision of ‘where there is unity, there is victory’, the Senior cohort placed a large emphasis of creating a community which embraces the ‘Three Schools One College’ motto. Although an ambitious goal, it can be wholeheartedly said that the challenge to unite Villanovans of all ages was successfully met through the consistent hard work and devotion shown by all boys throughout the year.

2018 marked the reintroduction of the House Cup at the College. Not only did this formidably strengthen the house system owing to the high levels of competitive spirit exemplified by all students but it also allowed boys from all year levels to form greater connections with one another due to the platform laid out by the series of events covering the four terms. This

Another method utilised by the Senior class to reinforce the linking of the schools was building on the co-operation of boys in all aspects of the College. This led to a year filled with amazing opportunities for students to work with a variety of colleagues of different ages and positions. The Music contingent experienced this early on in the year when Senior musicians assisted Year 5 boys with the selection of their instruments. This was followed later on in the year with the bi-annual musical where boys from Years 8 to 12 worked together to produce one of the best school productions seen in the past decade. Finally, QCMF was hosted once again at the College, leading to an array of boys from all year groups volunteering to support the program and the College.

2018 saw great support for sport across all ages and teams. This was highlighted in particular by the Term 2 ‘Old Boys’ Round’ where teachers, parents, current and past students packed Villanova Park to support our First Football and Rugby teams to victory. The introduction of two new wildcat mascots also allowed for a senior ‘cat’ and a junior ‘cub’ to be represented, linking the sporting fixtures between the three schools.

Academically, a peer tutoring system was established which allowed Junior and Middle School students to receive assistance in their educational studies by Senior students. This occurred on a weekly basis, assisting the natural formation of a friendship between the boys.

From a Ministry perspective, a talent quest for boys from Years 5 to 12 occurred late in the year, with the fun and unifying contest raising funds for St Vincent De Paul. The annual Mission Day saw significant funds being raised owing to the development of various stalls created to assist the important work completed by Villanovans in the Philippines.

The final element which topped off this significant vision was the restoration of the school song “V for Villanova”. This task allowed all students to memorise and proudly sing a chant which has a prominent part in Villanova’s history, allowing students from all schools to pay respect to the College’s 70 years of educating young men.

On behalf of the Class of 2018, I would like to express my gratitude towards the parents, staff and students for a historic year. The achievements throughout the year were due to the support and opportunities offered by the Villanova community. We extend to the College our best wishes for the years to come and look forward to seeing everyone again in the near future.

YEAR 12 AWARDS OF DISTINCTION

Villanovan of the Year

Throughout 2018, Liam has proved to be a wonderful embodiment of the balanced and holistic education offered at Villanova College. He has maintained excellent academic standards. Put simply, Liam enhances the life of the classroom at this College. Punctual, courteous, and immaculately attired, he makes best use of each lesson, asking questions and bringing other students into a passionate search for the truth.

Liam was a humble team player in the 3rd Basketball premiershipwinning team, and in the Rosies and St Vincent de Paul Ministries. He is utterly reliable. Having attended the AFAS Exchange in 2017, he has not tired in promoting any opportunity to raise funds for AFAS, whether that be Mission Day or the Middle School dance. The experience of the Exchange struck him deeply, making him a person of empathy with a passion for social justice. These qualities have been especially seen in Liam’s work for the St Vincent de Paul Society outside school – for example at kids camps –and also in his energetic leadership of the Student Council.

Dux of the College

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

Trent 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. He has gained a Very High Achievement level in all of his Senior subjects. He has been awarded Dux of five subjects.

Trent is a polite, considerate and very grounded student; humble in his abilities, and without bravado or arrogance. Trent has not always been recognised as the exceptional achiever he is tonight; as a Junior and Middle School student, his grade point average was at a B level. In demonstrating the very Augustinian trait of striving for excellence in everything he does, he has proved that effort, application and determination pays off, and he now has a grade point average that is of the highest standard.

Proxime Accessits

Given the strength of the Year 12 cohort in 2018, we are announcing two students as joint Proxime Accessits.

Leo Clarke has attained Very High Achievement grades in each of his subjects through a mixture of hard work and determination. He has achieved Very High Achievement grades in each of his subjects, sitting atop of two subjects and marginally missing out on being the dux in two other subjects. He has made significant contributions to the cocurricular program with his involvement in sport and a variety of music ensembles.

Asier Goni has achieved Very High Achievement grades in each of his subjects, sitting atop three subjects. He has worked conscientiously, at the same time forgoing time dedicated to his own studies to be of assistance to other students. He has balanced his studies with his sporting representation for Villanova College and significant contribution in his portfolio.

Sportsman of the Year

During his Senior year Nicholas represented Villanova as a member of the 4th Rugby, 2nd Basketball and Open Water Polo teams. Although this demonstrates a breadth of participation, his sporting prowess is in swimming and track and field. Nicholas was appointed as this year’s College Swim Captain and was awarded the College’s Open Age Champion and made the Metropolitan East Swim team that competed in the Queensland School Sport State Swimming Trials. In previous years he has made the Queensland Swim team and has competed at the Australian Nationals on four separate occasions. Nicholas has been an outstanding member of the Track and Field team since his time at Villanova. This year he was appointed Track and Field Captain and was crowned the AIC Hurdles Champion. He was awarded the Open age champion for Villanova and again made the Metropolitan East Track and Field team this year and went on to compete at the Queensland State School Track and Field Trials. Nicholas made the Queensland State Schools Track and Field team for six consecutive years.

Musician of the Year

Alexander was active in service of the music community at Villanova, evidenced through his involvement in five ensembles through Senior School, including the music liturgy ensemble. He was an active volunteer during QCMF and regularly represents our community both within and beyond the College.

Alexander represented the College through his involvement with the Young Conservatorium, where he has been a valued member of wind ensembles, symphonic bands, and symphony orchestras.

He has represented Villanova at several State Honours Ensemble Programs, and earned a scholarship to attend the Western International Band Clinic as part of the Pacific Honours Ensemble Program in Seattle in November. In 2018, Alexander gained a position in the Australian Honours Ensemble Program; only one of 120 students selected from across Australia.

Alexander completed his 7th Grade AMEB exam last year, earning ‘Honours’ for his performance. He completed his Associate in Music during his final year of schooling and auditioned for the Queensland Conservatorium of Music

event amongst both the students and staff of the College. The money raised from this raffle was used to replenish the Student Council Treasury and enabled us to fund certain events and projects across the year.

2018 brought great comradery amongst all year levels, which was typified through the embodiment that the Student Council had in the College. The Council of 2018, consisting of students from Years 7 to 12, aimed to continue its mission and tradition of providing the student body a platform to allow their voices to be heard. Our Council this year was guided by our College’s values of the search for truth, interiority and community, by acting in service to benefit the schooling life of all students.

As a medium to allow boys to express their voices, the Council introduced suggestion boxes throughout the school. Located in Student Services Offices and the Tolle Lege Library, boys were able to place suggestions in the boxes throughout the year. These suggestions were then brought back to the Council meetings, with selected suggestions being introduced as initiatives for the Council.

As representatives of the College, the Council was honoured to represent the College in certain community events. This included the Terri Butler Leadership Breakfast and the opening of the memorial garden at Villanova Park. Members of the Council had the great privilege of going to these events, as it gave them the opportunity to represent their respective cohort in the community outside the gates of Villanova.

For fundraising this year, the Council was involved in an Easter chocolate raffle. The temptation of possibly winning a box full of chocolate was most definitely a popular

In keeping with the traditions of the Council, this year we handed out chocolate shaped hearts for the Feast of St Augustine. We also resurrected one of the Council’s most iconic traditions, Friday lunch-time music. A favourite initiative of the Council, the music provided great enjoyment for the students on their last day of the week. So too did the Council’s speakers which were used for music at home-games in Goold Hall. The addition of these speakers created for an electrifying atmosphere for all.

In 2018, one of the most successful projects from the Council was the revision of the Student Council Cup. In years past, the Cup has always been awarded based upon a point system to the winning House. However, in 2018 it was decided that the Council would instead award our Cup through a Staff verses Student Competition. Held during Mission Week, this competition consisted of five events and saw a large number of boys spectating as many staff competed against our Senior School students. With scores tied two all, students packed out Goold Hall to watch the grand final of the competition, seen through a 3 v 3 Basketball game. It was the teachers who were victorious, and subsequently, the winners of the Student Council Cup for 2018.

The annual Villa Visions Art Show, which was held in Term 4, saw a huge collection of student artwork being presented in Goold Hall. The Student Council Acquisition Award this year was given to Patrick Maione of Year 11. Patrick’s artwork was created as part of the ‘Homage’ unit and was a creation of an artwork that honours a person for who Patrick has great respect.

To finish off the year, the Council was involved in contributing to the Senior’s gift

to the College. This year, the Senior’s gifted the College an engraved sign which depicts the Senior’s class motto, ‘Where there is unity, there is victory’. The Council saw this as something we were obligued to help out with, as the sign represented one of our Council’s aims of boosting school morale. The introduction of the sign will also bring some much-needed decoration to walls in the Senior School precinct.

The achievements and success of the 2018 Student Council would not have been possible without the hard work from members of the Villanova community. Particularly, I would like to acknowledge the work of both Ms Kathryn Duncan and Ms Dianne Martin, who did a great job this year as the facilitators of the Council. I would also like to thank the College’s leaders and students who aided the running of many of the activities and events this year. Your help was greatly appreciated and I thank you for your support towards the Student Council initiatives.

On a personal note, I would like to thank the Senior Class of 2018. The unity that the young men showed was extraordinary. The support we had through coming together as a band of brothers is something that most definitely exemplified our success during the year.

Last but not least, I thank the Councillors themselves. I thank you all on giving up your time through service to create a better College. Every single one of you stepped up with maturity and showed great diligence and pride to contribute to the initiatives we saw in 2018. I am very proud of all the work and enthusiasm this group of young men showed throughout the year. Furthermore, I would also like to wish the best of luck to our Council’s 45th President, Nickolas Sofios. I have no doubt that with Nickolas’ already proven dedication and leadership, the Council will continue its important role in the College.

EXCELLENCE AWARDS

SPEECH BY ASIER GONI /

2018 ACADEMIC CAPTAIN / AT THE CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE 70

Years

Good evening, Prior Provincial Fr Peter Jones, College Board members, College

Principal Mr Stower, distinguished guests, staff, parents and my fellow Villanova students.

As the Academic Captain, it is with great pride and pleasure that I welcome you to this magnificent and joyous occasion in which we acknowledge the pursuit of academic excellence; and, in particular, I would like to congratulate my fellow Year 12 peers on their accomplishments. As they say, nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy and indeed, Year 12 is not a spectator sport; it demands great stamina, resilience and dogged determination. So, well done, gentlemen.

And, although this night might be centred around the significant individual academic achievements of the College’s pupils, it is clear that these achievements are first and foremost grounded in the College’s culture to diligently aspire to cultivate collective success, as encapsulated in our 2018 Senior motto, ubi concordia, ibi victoria, where there is unity, there is victory.

During my time at Villanova I have learnt to see excellence as flowing from wholeheartedness. It is about perseverance and tenacity, deliberate practice, passion-driven focus and consistency of effort. It is in this sense

that we come to understand that the pursuit of knowledge goes well beyond ‘book knowledge’; that it encompasses the development of social values, ethics, aesthetics and independent thought; and that it is those thinking skills, social and emotional competencies that we have gained in the past eight years that will be the key to help us navigate successfully the complex life and work environments we face ahead.

The African proverb that declares that it takes a village to raise a child aptly describes what we are so fortunate to experience at Villanova. It is the collaborative effort of the entire community - of staff, parents, carers and fellow students - that provides us with rigorous supportive learning environments, which empower us to take up challenges, learn from our failures, and from each other, and promote curiosity and participation.

That is why I would like to take this opportunity to thank particularly our teachers, who from Year 5 to Year 12 focus on developing within us a culture of high expectations underpinned by a growth mindset, in the belief that our ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with

effort. Working towards goals that are meaningfully connected to our personal interests, we are very lucky to be the recipients of their mentoring and guidance. Thank you to our parents for their unconditional love and support, caring for us during our lows and, in days like today, sharing in our joys. Thanks also to the students at Villanova. It is the healthy competition, the mateship and the sense of belonging that keeps us going through thick and thin.

Special congratulations to the recipients of tonight’s awards. The pursuit of excellence is a continuous process through life to be undertaken with arduous humility. Enjoy and savour this laudable pursuit. Finally, I would like to leave you with this thought. Winston Churchill said that when you travel the world, you will find it is largely divided into two classes of people: those who wonder why things are not done; and those who wonder how can I get them done? Whilst it is human to worry about the future, in a world of nearly endless possibilities and with more opportunities at our fingertips than any generation before us, my question to you tonight is ‘Will you watch things happen or will you make things happen?’

SENIOR SCHOOL EVENTS

MIDDLE SCHOOL

MR GREG O’NEILL / HEAD OF MIDDLE SCHOOL 70 Years

Villa Visions Art Exhibition; perhaps the best Villa Visions in years.

In the sporting arena our boys also tasted success. With record participation rates in 2018, I congratulate all Middle School boys on their ongoing commitment to their chosen sports and thank the large number of coaches and managers who supported our boys throughout the year.

As the sun sets over the Green and Gold of 2018, we can certainly celebrate another successful year in Middle School.

Inside the classroom, each student found success, somehow and somewhere. Much of our message throughout 2018 was themed around effort, encouraging all students to set learning goals and then work hard to achieve them. Again in 2018, our overall NAPLAN results highlighted the significant growth and improvement that the boys had achieved over their years at Villanova.

Outside of the classroom our boys continued their commitment to our cultural programs. Finding their way into the vast array of ensembles, our Middle School boys again featured heavily throughout the QCMF weekend. The boys were equally well represented at this year’s

The Middle School camp program in 2018 again provided memorable experiences for the boys. Our Year 7s travelled to Currimundi, our Year 8s to Dicky Beach and our Year 9s returned to Pindari Dam, NSW, for the much-anticipated survival experience. The camps provide an important vehicle for the boys to build relationships with their peers and their teachers and encourage safe risk-taking, independence and an awareness of others. I thank the boys for their participation on these camps and I thank the staff who attended them.

Our teachers, led by Ms Kristina Whitehead, continued their own journey of improvement. Engaged in their pod/ team, the teachers collaboratively sought to refine their practice as to improve outcomes for students. Running now for five years, our Collaborative and Reflective Practice (CRP) program has been incredibly successful and engaging and truly models

our Augustinian value of life-long learning. I commend the staff on their engagement with this process and especially thank Kristina for her leadership.

I would particularly like to acknowledge the efforts of our Year 9 House ViceCaptains who served in their roles with great dignity and maturity. They include: Louis Henderson, Henry Holt, Ryan Walker, Lachlan Friedman, Tom Trevethan, Baiden Parker, Thanasi Keskinidis and James Reid. I thank them for being outstanding role models for their peers and for their endless support throughout the year.

I also thank the Middle School’s staff leaders, each of whom showed unwavering dedication to their portfolios. These staff include Mr Peter Simpson, Mr Alex Sullivan, Mr Matt McGrath, Mr Ben Lyman, Ms Sally England, Ms Hannah Elder, Ms Amanda McKay, Ms Kate Alexander, and Mr Shawn Creamer. I also thank Mr Tass Sakellariou and Mr Hellwig for their ongoing pastoral support of the boys.

On behalf of all boys, parents and staff, very special thanks must go to Ms Vicki Lamb. Her support for the boys on a daily basis is incredible, and we are truly blessed to have Vicki working in the Middle School. Finally, I thank all families for their ongoing support of our Middle School and I wish the boys all the best in 2019.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

MR STEPHEN

ROUHLIADEFF / HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

70 Years

2018 has been an exemplary year to be in the Junior School at Villanova College. Achievements across the academic, cocurricular and personal development of our young men have been impressive. The College Spirit is burning brightly, and our gifts have been shared for the benefit of all. In February our camps to Mudjimba and Noosa gave focus to our relationships, with our priority for developing a sense of belonging, worth and identity in new cohorts. Resilience takes form in the packing of belongings and looking to our classmates and staff for guidance and help. Trust builds faster and stronger in new situations. Friendships form through shared experiences and the discovery of common interests. Memories are made that allow for genuine connections in learning back at the College. Our camps set the standards for the year ahead and reflect our Villanovan values – community, interiority and search for truth. We will get through life together, knowing our own strengths and challenges, moving forward to common goals.

We were challenged with ‘Leading Learning’ in our curriculum. Goals were set by staff in many areas – physical layouts, feedback to students and differentiation were our focus. We increased our flexible learning spaces and changed more

furniture to stimulate the students to work more consciously with 21st Century Learning skills. Feedback modes were tested on groups and a College Pod has worked on research-based projects to design guidelines for the future classroom teachers. Online and verbal responses to students, timely with regards to allowing for changes to be made, have proven ideal for our young men. Aligning feedback between year levels means clarity as cohorts change between the three schools. Our results in NAPLAN testing is outstanding. The value adding of scores between Year 5 and Year 7 cohorts has more than doubled in most areas since 2014. This year we have exceeded the comparable AIC colleges in 96% of our mean scores across numeracy and literacy. Our specific attention to critical and strategic teaching and learning, over time, is something of which to be very proud. Success blessed our Year 5 and 6 athletes. Inclusivity meant our numbers for sporting teams were far greater than any other AIC college. Old Boys and College staff dedicated themselves to working on skills, game plays and competitive spirits that saw incredible individual and team achievements. In swimming, cricket, rugby, cross country, AFL, football, basketball, tennis and track and field events, we brought the Wildcat out to advance beyond AIC competition to regional, state and even national levels. Every Monday morning was a celebration of determination and results.

I am so proud of every boy who wore Green and Gold this year, and even prouder of the cheer squad who arrived early or stayed later to ensure their brothers felt the roar from the sidelines.

Applause was heard across the hills of neighbouring suburbs at the Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival. Villanova ensembles and bands reigned supreme under the leadership of musician tutors and parents in every audience. Volunteers wore red hats,

and staff or families adorned every cake stall and barbecue that was on offer. We hosted the state’s finest and stood proudly as competitors as well as hosts, always knowing our place was to welcome and support foremost.

Faith and social justice were strongly advocated this year. Attendance and participation in Pastoral and College celebrations was provided by classes and families within the community. The Junior School stood confidently in raising awareness and funds for Caritas, the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, AntiBullying Day, R U Ok Day, the Farmers’ Drought Appeal, Movember and the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal to name a few. Our Year 6 Leaders have led the way with all staff to show their compassion and desire to bring God’s Word to fruition. We should look after those in need, we should ask for help and we should contribute when we can.

We recognise the help that the Junior School has received from our older brothers – the Seniors in their white shirts recognised formally at the Graduation Assembly, the Year 11s on camps, and the Middle School boys who take on projects for Business and YAYM. Your presence, your attention and your consideration mean more to us than you will ever know.

My sincere thanks to the Middle Leadership team – Mrs Leanne Addley, Mrs Nichole Rouhliadeff, Mr Chris Everding, Mrs Joanne Bayley and Mr Brendan Kennedy. Their support and efforts to lead the incredible staff who work above and beyond expectations is greatly appreciated. Junior School students – you have made me a better Head of Junior School for knowing you. To our parents, your support is part of our every success. Thank you for all you have contributed and may God bless your every achievement from here on.

“Believe so that you may understand. Understand that you may believe.”

With the commencement of 2018, we welcomed three new team members to our department: Ms Raquel Bastos –Head of Strings, Ms Emma Carey – Head of Woodwind, and Mr Josh McKechie –Head of Brass. These three experienced educators joined our staff as part of a new leadership group to assist in the implementation of the new Instrumental Music Curriculum and support our peripatetic staff in the improvement of teaching and learning outcomes for our students. Across the year I have been very pleased with how our new additions have assimilated into our community and appreciate how the students and families have accepted them wholeheartedly. I am confident that our music department is very well positioned for the future.

Due to the position of the Australia Day weekend this year, our annual combined music camp with Loreto College was postponed. In its place, a workshop activity was convened for all students in Middle and Senior School ensembles at Villanova during the student-free days leading up to our academic year. Whilst this workshop was a poor cousin to the combined camp, it was a great opportunity for our new staff members to meet our students and develop those important relationships before the academic year commenced. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students for participating in this activity – it was a great way to start the new year.

Across Term 1, the focus within our area was the biannual musical convened with Loreto College. From 7 - 10 March, almost

100 talented students shared seven weeks’ hard work on the Augustine Centre stage, performing the musical Footloose for four full-houses. Having only experienced one other musical in this community, I observed that there was quite a lot of excitement around this production, both within the student body and the wider community. Perhaps it was the hair spray, possibly the sense of nostalgia that came with the music – it was a good show and the students acquitted themselves wonderfully. I would like to thank the staff and students involved for the willing way they invested themselves in the project –without that enthusiasm, the show would not have been the success it was. With every new year, we welcome a new cohort into our Year 5 Immersion Music Program. In 2018 we indoctrinated over 150 new students into the wonders of the instrumental music department. Towards the end of Term 1, these talented young musicians had the opportunity to share their musical development with their families and friends at our annual Jump Start Day Concert. It is always a fun concert; however, this year I was impressed by the musical outcome presented. We debuted our first combined Symphony Orchestra with all band and string students performing together; a visual representation of the music team at Villanova. The students produced some of the best beginner camp concert performances I have experienced in my time as a music educator; everyone involved is to be congratulated for their efforts!

Term 2 commenced with our debut concerts involving all ensembles from across the program. Across two evenings of entertainment, students from Year 6 and above had the opportunity to share their musical efforts with family and the community. This event allowed our community to witness for the first time the connections developing between our new staff members and the students, and the development of our new team. Again, the students acquitted themselves effectively and I was quietly confident our experience

at Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival (QCMF) 2018 would be a great one!

May was possibly one of our busiest months this year. After our debut concerts, we welcomed the Brigham Young University (BYU) Wind Symphony all the way from Utah, USA. It was a great honour to host one of the best college bands in the world in our place. The BYU students participated in an afternoon workshop with our Symphonic Band before enjoying the hospitality of our Music Support Group and musicians on the Cassiciacum Gardens below Veritas. It was wonderful seeing our students mix comfortably with our visitors and witnessing the free-flowing conversation and sharing of stories. On behalf of our community, the BYU team thanked me for the ‘classy way in which we hosted their students.’ I would like to thank earnestly all involved for the important part they played in ensuring this was a memorable experience for our visitors. Unequivocally, the concert given by the BYU Wind Symphony was incredible – I recall several standing ovations from the friends and family gathered!

The following week, we hosted international guitar sensation Aldo Rodriguez Delgado. Aldo was brought out to Australia by Villanova College to work with our students and conduct workshops at Loreto College and the Anglican Church Grammar School. After a week of working with our collective guitar ensembles, a combined concert was convened in Hanrahan Theatre. Each ensemble had the opportunity to perform with Aldo before concluding the first act with a large combined performance. After the intermission, everyone gathered witnessed some fantastic guitar playing with Aldo sharing his music for almost an hour. It was another great event for our students to participate in; thanks must go to Mr Russell Neville, our guitar tutor, for being the driving force behind this activity. At the end of Term 2, our string students were given the opportunity to work with the Australian String Quartet in a workshop at the College. Our String

Quartet and String Sinfonia spent three hours one afternoon during the final week of school with these fantastic musicians. We also had the opportunity to witness the debut of their new Australian tour at the Queensland Conservatorium Theatre. The feedback from students and families regarding this activity was extremely positive – we look forward to more opportunities such as this in the future.

Term 3 commenced with our band and string workshops with Brisbane Girls’ Grammar School and Brisbane Grammar School. Both events were fantastic occasions for our students to engage with like-minded musicians from other Brisbane schools. The concerts were great displays of the effort given across the workshops and a wonderful celebration of music across our collective communities. These have been pencilled in again for 2019!

Of course, Term 3 would not be the same without our annual QCMF. This year we welcomed over 15,600 students from across Australia to participate in the largest QCMF ever. The music produced by both our visitors and our students continues to impress me and the event continues to effectively celebrate music and music education in Catholic Schools in Queensland. It is always humbling to witness so much joy and happiness and gives me much pride to be part of a community who hosts such an important event so well.

QCMF would not be possible without the continued support of an extremely committed organising group comprising parents, past-parents, Old Boys, and current students, leading a team of over 700 volunteers. This festival is much larger than Villanova – it is a beacon of music education for our schools; however, our community is vital in ensuring its continued success. On behalf of so many, from so far away, I would like to humbly, and earnestly, thank everyone involved in the continued organisation and success of QCMF – you are the reason this festival has grown yet maintained its humility. Thank you!

With Term 3 out of the way, we did not ease up heading into Term 4! Eight of our ensembles participated in the annual Prestige Music Fest with all of our groups acquitting themselves extremely well. This event is always a great opportunity for our students to experience playing in different venues and witness some of the music being produced by other students across Brisbane. I thank the students and families for their continued support of our participation in this activity.

Our annual Strings and Choir in the Cathedral event was another resounding success with our orchestral string and choral departments sharing their music in the Cathedral of St Stephen. I was impressed by the standard of music produced by our students and the guidance given them by our teachers. It was an honour to guest conduct the combined string ensemble – all 110 students – in Palladio arranged by our Head of Strings, Ms Bastos. The visual impact of seeing students from Years 5 to 12 together, at the same time, performing as one community was fantastic! The second annual Celebration of Excellence, convened in the QPAC Concert Hall at the end of October, was another fantastic opportunity for our musicians to share their talents with the College Community. We had some fine chamber and small vocal performances offered in the foyer of the Concert Hall preconcert by Amadeus and Corelli Chamber ensembles, and the Supernovans, and Alex Dang and Tom Balshaw shared their piano musings in the Concert Hall. I would like to commend the performances of our Symphonic Band, Sinfonia String Orchestra, Big Band, and College Choir during the Celebration. Particular highlights for me were the vocal stylings of Nicholas Eadie with the Big Band in a fine rendition of ‘Feeling Good’ and the debut performance of ‘Fanatasie’ by our Sinfonia String Orchestra.

‘Fantasie’ was composed by Old Boy, Nicholas Schlobohm on commission by Murray Humphrey, a past parent. The work was commissioned as a gift to the music

department of Villanova in recognition of the opportunities experienced by Sue and Murray Humphrey’s sons, Ryan and Blake Humphrey. ‘Fantasie’ is a piece featuring horn and trumpet soloists accompanied by String Orchestra. Ryan and Blake both performed the soloist roles in this international debut. It was a great opportunity for our students to be involved in the creative process and the debut of a new work.

Our Senior students were farewelled in fitting style with our annual Senior Musicians’ Dinner at the Camp Hill Bowls Club. The change of venue was great with both our Irish Ensembles sharing a set of music each with the sunset and city lights as a backdrop. We shared our reflections through the traditional powerpoint display and showed gratitude for the service offered by these fine young men. On behalf of the Villanova Music community, I thank these students for their leadership, humour, and music shared over their time within our place.

To round the year off, we finally succumbed to Mrs Sleep’s Christmas cheer and celebrated our very first Christmas Extravaganza at Cassiciacum Gardens. The event was bigger than Ben Hur with over 300 students and several hundred family members enjoying an evening of music and Christmas cheer. The weather was great and the music was only just matched by the fantastic backdrop of the city lights we enjoy from our hill. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fantastic Music Support Group who, as always, assist us with the food and beverages for our events – I believe this concert was our most successful this year in terms of fundraising! I would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank the staff for their efforts in ensuring another successful year of music making at Villanova concluded in style!

On behalf of the music team here at the College, I would like to wish you all a safe and happy Christmas with friends and family – I look forward to seeing you back at our events in the new year!

PERFORMING ARTS

MRS BELINDA TUCKER / PERFORMING ARTS CURRICULUM AREA LEADER 70 Years

filming of cinematic sequences and subsequent dress and tech rehearsals. The final performance resulted in a highly engaging and thought-provoking theatrical event which made the audience question the direction in which social media and technology could potentially head.

2018 has been a busy and rewarding year for the Performing Arts department, which has resulted in some exciting opportunities for students across Music, Drama, Music Extension and Audio Engineering Studies classes.

Ecclesiastes assures us that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh, and a time to weep. A time to mourn, and a time to dance – to cut Footloose! Towards the end of Term 1, we saw the efforts of many of our boys, along with the girls from Loreto College, come to fruition as they combined forces to present Footloose: The Musical, under the direction of Mrs Stephanie Tudor (Loreto College), production of Mrs Justine Silk, music direction of Mr Michael Jones, and ably assisted by many of the Villanova and Loreto College staff. The energy and professionalism that our boys and the girls from Loreto presented was captivating to the audience, and a highlight of our busy 2018 year in Performing Arts.

In August, the compelling, darkly funny and powerful Senior Drama Production entitled ‘Puff Post’ was presented to a packed audience in the Hanrahan Theatre. Villanova College was delighted to welcome back resident artist Mr Nathan Sibthorpe from the cinematic theatre company Markwell Presents, who assisted Ms Sophie Kenny in the creation and production of workshops, blocking,

The Year 9 Audio Engineering Studies classes have experienced a largely practical and industry-based course, in which the students have recorded music in our stateof-the-art recording studio (The Daniel O’Connor Recording Studio). The students have worked with TAFE students, Triple J Unearthed bands on recording projects, and have had the opportunity to learn how to DJ with assistance from past student, Nicholas Madden (’15). The final product of the DJing unit saw the Year 9 students perform for the Junior School students during second breaks, which resulted in some exciting and lively sets.

This year, under the direction of Ms Sophie Kenny, the school competed in the Queensland Youth Theatresports Competition. Theatresports involves quick thinking and on the spot improvisation in a variety of drama games, whilst working collaboratively as a team. After months of rehearsals and workshops ‘On the Spot’ (Dominic Duskovic, Reece Jansen, Joel O’Reilly and captain, Jacob Keay) and the ‘Blockbusters’ (Tadgh O’Neill, Oliver Rae, Joshua Smith, Digby Timms and Thomas Wilson) were ready to compete against some schools who had been involved for many years. Both teams progressed as far as the semi-finals in their inaugural year of competition, which is a stellar effort. We look forward to seeing what Villanova will produce in 2019.

Additionally, our students have ventured outside of the school in 2018 to attend professional live performances including: ‘Aladdin’ at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre, ‘The Longest Minute’ at QPAC’s Playhouse and

‘Jasper Jones’ at QPAC’s Playhouse. These performances have directly informed some of our rich responding tasks in Senior Music and Drama. We also have had Zeal Theatre come into the Hanrahan Theatre and present ‘The Stones’ to our Year 9 and 10 Drama students in both semesters, continuing a fine tradition of live performance.

During Term 3, the Performing Arts department established a new Artist in Residency program for the Senior Music program with leading chamber music ensemble Topology. Students in the Year 12 Music class had multiple workshops with composers such as Dr Robert Davidson, Tom Green and John Babbage. This directly informed the students’ film music compositions which were performed at the end of the Term with a large chamber orchestra, combining the Topology ensemble, postgraduate Conservatorium students, Villanova staff and current students from Years 11 and 12. I would like to take the time to congratulate Mrs Katie Dauth-Sousa for her tireless work alongside Topology and the students throughout the process and the final performances.

On behalf of the 2018 Performing Arts team of Mrs Julianne Shaw, Mrs Justine Silk, Mrs Katie Dauth-Sousa, Mrs Gina Ellis, Ms Sophie Kenny and Ms Danielle McGuckin, I would like to congratulate all of our Classroom Music and Drama students for their commitment, enthusiasm and dedication to excellence in our artistic endeavours. St Augustine reminds us that our gifts and graces are not for ourselves alone, and it has been excellent to witness our students so readily sharing their creative gifts with the larger Villanova community. I would also finally like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Performing Arts staff, with their endless energy in dynamic classrooms and being such an inspiration to the students.

VISUAL ARTS

MRS VANESSA BRIGGS / VISUAL ARTS CURRICULUM AREA LEADER 70 Years

Throughout 2018 Visual Art offered students from our three schools the opportunity to explore new media and to display their work publicly.

Our Junior School students explored both two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. Printmaking skills were developed by creating and resolving an adapted animal and an understanding of ceramic hand building and decoration was fostered through creating a collaborative totem. Students’ drawing skills were also encouraged by producing a foreshortened self-portrait.

In the Middle School, students took inspiration from the art movements of Cubism and Surrealism and the lifework of Picasso and Magritte. As students ‘walked’ with Picasso and Magritte they were inspired to create mixed media collages, African masks and surrealist flying pigs. The Year 9 students also took steps to build upon their foundational art skills by taking on the role of community activist to raise awareness by drawing endangered animals and creating a painting to support antigraffiti campaigns.

The Senior School students embraced the opportunity to work with industry professional, Ms Carolyn Watson and the creative community organisation, Monte Lupo. Working with the interdisciplinary artist, our students participated in workshops and created two-dimensional mixed media pieces. The creation of these pieces developed student knowledge and an understanding of processes that will continue to inform their practical work. Likewise, the excursion to Monte Lupo Studio at Eight Mile Plains – an organisation which provides opportunities for people with disabilities to work creatively - fostered students’ knowledge and understanding of professional studio practices as well as allowing them to extend their understanding of ceramic techniques, processes and materials. The above practical explorations undertaken by the three schools have consciously been displayed publicly with great success in 2018. The Tolle Lege Library exhibited student work where students, staff and visitors were able to admire and congratulate our talented artists. The College Facebook and Instagram accounts displayed artworks digitally, receiving tremendous support from our extended school community and, for our Year 6 artists, their Villanovan story depicted as lines and shapes pressed into clay as totems are now permanently installed near the College Reception.

The highlight of the Visual Arts calendar, Villa Visions, further enabled the exhibition of work in a formal space. This year, the exhibition returned to Goold Hall, allowing a broad range of student works from Years

5 to 12 to be curated. The evening was a celebration of our students’ interests, talents and dedication to Visual Art. The visible achievements seen at Villa Visions clearly reflect the strength of our programs.

In recognition of these quality works, the College awarded Year Level Awards, Acquisitions Prizes and Highly Commended Awards. These acknowledge innovation, creativity and skilful use of media and are a testament to the dedication and creative talent of their recipients. It was fitting that these awards and prizes be publicly announced with recipients surrounded by fellow students, friends, family, staff and supportive community members who honoured their talents.

The night was supported by our Year 12 Music students, Year 10 Food Studies students and Australian Filipino Augustinian Solidarity (AFAS) helpers who enriched the gallery experience. The proceeds from the People’s Choice Award and Staff for AFAS silent auction were donated to AFAS to support our Augustinian friends in the Philippines.

A sincere thank you is extended to the Art staff, Mr Roland Camilleri and Mr Jason Lane, as it is through their exceptional skillset and guidance that the potential of students is encouraged. Likewise, thanks are extended to the teachers, students, parents and friends of the College for their continued involvement in the Visual Arts. It is our collective work that has, and will continue to, develop our fine Villanovan artists.

AUGUSTINE: THE WAY

FR PETER WIENEKE / COLLEGE CHAPLAIN

70 Years

“People in love make signs of love, not only to express their love, but also to deepen it. Love never expressed dies. Christians’ love for Christ and for one another and Christians’ faith in Christ and in one another must be expressed in the signs and symbols of celebration or they will die.”

The quotation above, from a church document, expresses well why we celebrate with liturgy and prayer at Villanova. And, we do so often, taking care to celebrate well.

In 2018 the contribution of music of quality to liturgical occasions has

ASH WEDNESDAY

been of pre-eminent importance. The Villanova Liturgical Music Group has been particularly strong and dedicated. The beauty and sincerity of their ministry has helped the whole College express its faith in good celebration. Good celebrations nourish and foster faith!

While the leadership and quality of our music at prayer has been excellent, we still struggle to have all in the assembly participate fully. However, while on the journey the words of St Augustine should not be forgotten: “Do not allow yourselves to be offended by the imperfect while you strive for the perfect.”

CHICAGO EXCHANGE

70 Years

Over the Easter break and the first week of Term 2, myself and three other boys, Luke Berridge, James Livingstone and Ben McGregor, accompanied by Mrs Danielle Galpin, travelled to Chicago, Illinois for a student exchange with St Rita High School. St Rita is an all-boys Augustinian high school from Years 9 - 12. The Augustinian symbol of the Bible, heart and arrow was proudly displayed in the middle of their campus as well as their signage in all rooms of St Augustine, Unitas, Caritas and Veritas. A real highlight was getting to sit in on one of their weekly all-school masses in their grand church which would be almost as big as St Stephen’s Cathedral in the city. An appealing aspect was the way they embrace their Augustinian faith with daily

prayer and religious reflection. Certainly, it was so comforting to be away from home yet be connected by these values every day at school.

While in Chicago, we spent time in the classroom shadowing our billets. It allowed us to see so many of their subjects. Interestingly, our Maths seems far more advanced than theirs but then in subjects like history, they have a far greater knowledge base. Chicago is such an amazing city and we got to see so much of it. We attended several sporting events like the Chicago Bulls, Whitesox baseball and Notre Dame American football.

Interacting with our billeting families proved some of the most rewarding times we had, talking at the dinner table to

learn how they live. They were the best of hosts and put pressure on us to return the hospitality when it was our turn to host. Each day held a new experience, whether it be waking up to snow and trying to remove it from the windscreen of the car, to the Australia versus America paintball competition, going indoor skydiving, or smashing famous Chicago-style deep dish pizza.

Unlike the flights, those 17 days flew by. I can say on behalf of all the boys who went on exchange it was a once in a lifetime experience, never to be forgotten. I would recommend this exchange to any younger boys.

PHILADELPHIA TOUR

70 Years

Over the Easter break, we had the opportunity to go on an exchange. Mr Peter Meecham, Cooper Brown, Luke Whitton, George Stokes and I had the opportunity to visit Malvern Prep in Philadelphia. Malvern Prep is an all-boys Augustinian school from Years 7 - 12 which has approximately 500 students. Being in the Augustinian tradition meant that the school and the boys shared a lot of similar values. The easiest things to recognise were the names of buildings –Tolentine, Cascia and Veritas and Caritas. Their daily prayers were similar to ours, including their weekly Chapel and signs and statues which made us all feel that despite being so far from Villanova, it was so much the same. Even more importantly, the sense of community which we have at Villanova, of which we are all so proud, is similarly ingrained in the boys and school at Malvern. Their core values are so proudly displayed at the front entrance of the school and in each of their buildings of Unitas, Veritas and Caritas – Unity, Truth and Love.

One of the greatest fears going over was having to live with an unknown family for the three weeks, but the experience could not have been more rewarding. All of the families were so gracious and opened their homes to us and made us all feel so welcome. It was so good to learn and understand how similar families exist on the other side of the world and how much food they eat.

A highlight of our adventure was getting to see so much of the USA. Due to a missed connecting flight, we saw Los Angeles and Santa Monica Pier. The trip to New York City was one of the best experiences as we saw so much of the city. The trip to Washington DC was also memorable. Philadelphia itself is such a beautiful city. Our explorations included running the ‘Rocky’ movie stairs, the Liberty Bell and the Independence Centre. We were also lucky enough to ring the Sister Bell at Villanova University which is a replica of the Liberty Bell and the only one in

existence. This was followed by a lovely lunch with Fr Gordon at the St Thomas’ Monastery.

The other major highlight was getting to see some American sport. We saw the Philadelphia 76ers versus Dallas, and Cooper even got to go to game one of the finals against Miami. We also saw the Malvern team play lacrosse and baseball. We even trained with their Varsity Rugby team and ran a masterclass in how to play. Overall, this was such an amazing experience and we were privileged to represent Villanova on the world stage. Being able to connect with another Augustinian school that shares such similar values and make friendships with people from across the world was incredible. I would recommend that all boys apply for this awesome experience when the opportunity comes up in Year 10!

MINISTRY

MR JOHN HOLROYD / DEAN OF MISSION AND IDENTITY

70 Years

a photography competition for people who are living on the street.

“What great profit you gain from God when you are generous! You give a coin and receive a kingdom; you give bread from wheat and receive the Bread of Life; you give a transitory good and receive an everlasting one. You will receive it back, a hundred times more than you offered.”

St Thomas of Villanova

The most powerful moments in Ministry occur when the students and staff are able to create lasting change. At the same time, and in the same process, it is the people whom we seek to serve – even if clumsily – who educate our boys. The privilege of being involved in Ministry is to see the impact on young men of encountering people in need. Pope Francis puts it powerfully, ‘If we truly wish to encounter Christ, we have to touch his body in the suffering bodies of the poor.’ A highlight of 2018 has been the number of occasions when students have been transformed by their involvement in Ministry.

In this regard, a few events stand out. The Year 12 Goold House students were moved by their meeting with Mrs Eileen Stanley, founder of a new charity called Milly’s House. By walking to raise funds for halfway houses for young people with mental health concerns, the Goold students were also showing solidarity with the Stanley family, and behaving with respect when walking upon the sacred ground of remembering a beloved daughter. Similarly, a number of Year 12 students and staff benefitted from direct experience of Blind Eye Ministries, a drop-in centre for the most vulnerable people in Brisbane. This experience led directly to Villanova’s sponsorship of Blind Eye’s inaugural view from the street photography competition:

The second powerful feature of Ministry events in 2018 has been the willingness of students and families to share their personal stories in venturing new ideas. In this vein, initiatives launched by Middle School students in 2018 have galvanised the Villanova community. Stand-out events of this nature include: Funky Tie Day, organised by Year 9 students Lachlan Lea and Maxwell Shearer; two barbecues for the Vinnies Drought Appeal, organised by Year 8 students Tom Price and Tom Hoctor, and the Orange Sky ping pong event, organised by Villanova family, the Crawfords. In each case, the organisers were brave enough to share the personal motivation for their commitment.

Ministry Events:

Large-scale events which require an element of risk and complex planning motivate the students. The sleep-out and homelessness conference, on August 10, was a highlight. Once the fun and the fire flicker away, you experience – at least for one night – the coldness, the discomfort and the freedom of sleeping rough. This creates empathy. The conference that preceded the sleep-out was also excellent, with intimate contributions from Mr Dan Carroll (Secretary of Vinnies in Queensland, and Old Boy), Mrs Sarah Corbett (Coordinator of Volunteers in Brisbane for Rosies) and a range of young Old Boys who have got involved in practical outreach with Vinnies and Rosies. Each spoke from the heart about: a) why they are involved, and b) the difference it makes in your life to know that you are making a practical difference.

Equally memorable was the Villanova/ Loreto Talent Quest. What stands out about a joyful night of celebration and courage, is that it was a student-led event. St Thomas of Villanova would fully approve of sharing gifts and graces for the wider community, not only raising funds for St Vincent de Paul, but also creating a strong friendship with Loreto.

Mission Day was once again a massive undertaking. The heroes of the day are the students who take ownership of stalls

to ensure that they provide a high quality experience for other students and also bring students together with teamwork. The day made more than $12,000 and some good learning was imparted, for example through the Filipino guests in Senior School and the wonderfully honest patron of the Blind Eye drop-in centre, Luke, who spoke to the Middle School about losing his dad at a young age, then being forced to leave home at age 11. Whether Mission Day relies too much on consumption will be an important question for next year’s model.

See-Judge-Act:

The second most powerful aspect of Ministry occurs when the students successfully take agency to make a difference within the school or in the community beyond our gates. Sometimes hidden here is the need for students to see a course of action through to its end. In this regard, the Ministry Captain for 2018, Tom Balshaw, has been a standout. This is because he is totally reliable, seeing difficult tasks through to the end. It was Tom who gave up extra time to decorate the Veritas Building with Filipino banners, and take them all down again. It is his staying power which has leant quiet authority to his exercise of the role.

Isaac Langford and Luke Palmer (both Year 9) proved exceptional leaders of Young Augustinian Youth Ministries (YAYM). They modelled dignity and efficiency, channelling the flood-tides of enthusiasm from younger students. YAYM has achieved so much this year both because of the vast energy of its many members, and also because of the capacity of the Year 9 leaders to organise posters and personnel on a rapid turnaround.

Conclusion:

Even if the College did not make a cent out of Ministry, would it provide worthwhile learning? If students attempt at first-hand to reach out to people who are in need of a friend, then their education takes on the wider dimension of empathy. Secondly, where else in the curriculum do students take the lead in the planning and delivery of actions or events to make a difference?

KOKODA CHALLENGE

After a number of 5am starts on Mt Coot-tha, well before the sun rise, Saturday July 14 saw a transformation of boys to men, as six young Villanovans took on the Kokoda Challenge.

Congratulations to you all on making the commitment to training and getting to the start line. As the boys since found out, the real commitment began at 11am on July 14, a commitment to their mates - one of support and sticking together even when times get tough. Moreover, the challenge presented a real opportunity to benefit from their hard work, and benefit they did. Wildcats Blue, led by Harrison Adams (’11) and consisting of current Year 12 students, Shayle Korander-Matheson, Lawrence Barry, Callum Corbett and 2017 Old Boy, Roarke Ronan, jumped out of the start line fast and didn’t look back. This team managed to be the first across the line at each major checkpoint and took line honours for the event.

The second Villanova team, Wildcats Purple, was led by Mr Brian Pascoe and Mr Paul Olsen and came in 30th position after spending more time trekking at night. Mark Stuart (Year 12), Murphy Woodger and Alex Bryant (Year 10) and Bronte Pascoe (Year 12, Lourdes Hill) worked together as a team to ensure they completed the event strongly. It became apparent from about the 20km mark, after descending into army land at Canungra, that Murphy was experiencing significant discomfort and pain due to severe blistering to his feet. Many times Murphy was congratulated about what he had achieved thus far, and was offered an honourable exit from the challenge, and many times the team witnessed Murphy put his head down and march on. Many times, he was offered a rest, but he continued his agonising ordeal without one word of complaint. Even on the steepest mountain or the muddiest track, he did not falter for a second. And when crossing the finish line after

70 Years

48km of pain and 12 1/2 hours of suffering it was nothing compared to his joy of seeing what he was capable of. I believe Murphy’s actions and perseverance brought out the best in the team. They could have gone faster and been out there less time without him. But we all seemed to work as a group and not be bothered by the extra time, stress or pain going slower caused. It seemed as if Murphy’s pain made the Wildcat’s Purple Team band together. An undertaking such as this would not be possible without the many hours that Mr Brian Pascoe and Mr Paul Olsen both put in behind the scenes - ensuring that teams are entered, organising training each week and providing information down to the final detail. These two men have provided valuable life lessons each week, all of which placed the young men in good stead for not only this experience, but also life outside school. A massive thank you to you both for your time and commitment.

To the parents, well done on making it out of bed well before 5am each weekend to ensure we arrived at Mt Coot-tha on time and that no session was missed. Your encouragement and dedication to this event and your boys is second to none.

It is fitting to acknowledge the strong relationship between this event, and our commemoration of one Villanovan who made the ultimate sacrifice whilst on active service during the Vietnam War. Terry Hendle (’64), commenced at Villanova in Year 4, 1956, having moved up the hill after a couple of years at St James. On November 29, shortly after a Viet Cong squad stumbled across the Australian contingent, the 6th RAR came under attack. Terry was hit in the stomach, as two other soldiers suffered injuries as well. Not long after, Terry and one other were evacuated by helicopter and taken to the US 36th Evacuation Hospital. Terry died of wounds in the early hours of November 30, 1966. Terry was very popular with mates

from school and the army, and his death was a sad loss.

Those that knew Terry are very proud to say that his memory lives on at the College through the good works of the Endowment Trust named in his honour. This story was relayed to both teams before they took on the Challenge, to allow a strong connection to be made between Villanova and the key integral values of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice that are so important to the Kokoda Foundation. One of the most inspiring stories to emerge from the Villanova engagement with the Kokoda Challenge in 2018 was the recent meeting between 97-year-old digger, George Palmer, Alex Bryant, Murphy Woodger and his father Jeremy, and staff member Mr Brian Pascoe and his father Gavin (Villanova teacher ’87 – ’09).

The meeting stemmed from Murphy’s community service which he undertook in the Wesley nursing care facility. Through Murphy sharing his own story about undertaking the Kokoda Challenge with the residents, he was lined up to meet George, a Kokoda veteran.

For both Murphy and Alex, the encounter brings a changed perspective. Murphy stated simply that we are “lucky” not to be facing the same trials; Alex said, “It makes you realise that you have everything today.” For these students, the Kokoda Challenge experience has created an incredible connection with, and empathy for, the real experience of the men of the 39th Battalion on the Track.

Finally, on behalf of the Old Boys Association, I congratulate each and every one of you on this outstanding achievement. It is a massive commitment and one that the Association is proud the College continues to invest in. Vincit Veritas.

Queensland Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) iAwards – Villanova winners!

In June this year, students Zac Adams and Henry Goodwin were named winners of the Senior Student Category at the Queensland Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) iAwards, the nation’s leading awards program for innovation in the digital economy. Each year the iAwards shine a light on the exceptional achievements of those at the forefront of Australian innovation.

Zac and Henry used a range of technologies to create an app to overcome the lack of a mobile interface for Student Café – the student access point for TASS.

The app, written for both Android and iOS, gives access to a student’s timetable, teachers, substitute teachers, results, due dates and more. It includes notifications on the phone and the iOS version even integrates with a smart watch. The iOS version is already available on the App Store.

At the awards showcase and dinner, Zac and Henry spent much of the evening demonstrating and explaining their project to people representing private and government organisations and corporate competition entries. They also met with the Hon Kate Jones, the Queensland Minister for Innovation, Tourism Industry Development and the Commonwealth Games.

As winners from the Queensland competition, Zac and Henry presented their project at the Australian iAwards competition in Melbourne in August.

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS

MRS KATH UNDERHILL / TOURNAMENT OF MINDS CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

2018 saw the return of many seasoned ‘TOM’ participants, as well as some fresh new faces, not knowing what was in store for them! Students embraced the challenges with great enthusiasm and gusto! Villanova was represented by two primary and two secondary teams this year. Credit must go to all students for their participation, with special mention

going to the primary Language Literature team. With only two of the six weeks of preparation to go leading up to the Regional Finals, this team of newbies, under the great mentorship of Mrs Maria Mascadri, worked around the clock to be ready for the big day. 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 and one Language Literature team progressed through to the State Finals, which were held at Bond University, Gold Coast on Sunday 16 September. Congratulations to all students who participated, and to your wonderful facilitators (Mrs Maria Mascadri, Mrs Terri Dillon, Rohan Dooley, Harrison Rieck (VOB ‘17), and Year 11 students, Nick Halvorson and Sam Behm) 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 go into fierce problem-solving mode at the beginning of Term 3. 2019 will be a great year to become involved in a variety of extension programs, so stay tuned to what will be available.

DEBATING

MRS MELISSA WILSON / DEBATING CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

Debating is one of the oldest and most contested competitive sports where team members benefit from developing public speaking, critical thinking, research and teamwork skills. They learn to be resourceful thinkers who can synthesize ideas and quickly articulate them. It provides experiences that are conducive to life-changing, cognitive, and presentational skills. At the very least, it helps students to see the power of deploying rational, reasoned arguments and compelling evidence in action. It was wonderful to see the level of participation and enthusiasm from all

debaters in Years 5 to 12 over the 2018 season. We were lucky enough to field 12 teams in the Queensland Debating Union Competition. I would like to thank our Senior A team of talented and dedicated debaters who led by example and were exemplary role models to their peers. Many of these students started debating in Year 5 and have continued their commitment throughout their journey at Villanova College. Of particular enjoyment for these students was the St Augustine Tour in Sydney. Nicholas Eadie, Nelson Thorpe and Lachlan Curran, with the support of Daniel Shearer, certainly set the standard for all future students who aspire to be part of this tour group in future years. They impressed all members of the tour and gave them an insight into the standard of debates our Senior A teams participate in. Teams performed particularly well over the season and were well supported by their dedicated coaches. Of mention is the success of Team 8.2 who were coached by Mrs Sharon Page. These students won three of their four preliminary rounds and competed in the finals. Team 9.1 who were coached by Mr Matthew Wilson

were equally as impressive, having an exceptional season - making it all the way to the quarter finals.

We have a lot of potential in our Junior School students. Mrs Bayley’s 6.1 team and Mrs Wilson’s and Max Eberhardt’s 5.2 and 5.3 teams won three of their four debates. This is an exceptional start for the youngest debaters in our College. Impressive was their dedication and maturity throughout the season. Of mention this year was the mentorship of Max Eberhardt who is a current Year 11 student at the College. Max assisted with the Year 5 teams and was certainly very favourable amongst the boys. We thank Max for giving up his time to share his extensive knowledge, skills and expertise with the younger boys.

A big thank you to all the dedicated teachers who coached a team this year. The time, effort and commitment to assist the students with their preparation of speeches and on the night of the debate is greatly appreciated.

We wish all debaters the best of luck for the 2019 season.

SPORT

MR CRAIG STARIHA / DIRECTOR OF SPORT

70 Years

RESPECT FOR SELF AND OTHERS

We value sportsmanship, evidenced by the demonstration of humility, dignity, fairness, generosity, gratitude and fellowship.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

We value individual people as evidenced by the demonstration of equity, service, solidarity, and fairness.

INCLUSIVITY

Over the past two years, the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) Sport Association has conducted a full review of the AIC sports association. AIC currently provides a quality sports program for hundreds of young men from eight member schools. Since the formation of AIC in 1998 there has been much change in all schools. These changes include educational reforms, population growth and college campus redevelopments, to name just a few. The Association also realised that the sporting interests and backgrounds of the students and families who attend these schools has changed. Therefore, in responding to these changes, the AIC Management Committee recommended an external review of the AIC Sport Association with a view to developing an appropriate sporting charter in the years to come. As a result, the AIC charter was developed as a foundation document which will be referred to with regards to all major decisions heading into the future.

THE AIC CHARTER MOTTO Learning and growth through sport and competition VISION

To develop good and healthy young people of character through sport and competition within a Christian context.

MISSION

The AIC will provide well-organised competitions in sport and other activities that foster participant engagement and pride in communities in a holistic Christian context. Our students, staff and families (both past and present) will nurture spiritual, moral, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social development through respectful and compassionate relationships in a safe environment.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The following guiding principles are demonstrated through respectful interactions with all people in AIC competitions and also in how we express ourselves.

We value participation and mateship to foster a strong sense of community as demonstrated through engagement (within and beyond the Colleges). This also means recognition of varying rates of development.

SPIRITUALITY

We value the spiritual development of people as evidenced by behaviours of morality, ethics, compassion, and peace.

SAFETY

We value physical, emotional, and social safety as evidenced by the development of a positive self-concept through sport and other activities.

PASSION

We value a passion for all to achieve their potential through sport, as evidenced through enjoyment, involvement, and challenge of competition.

From 2019 onwards, two new AIC sports will be added to the AIC calendar for a two-year trial period. These sports are Australian Football League (AFL) and rugby league. After two years, a further review will take place to assess the long-term viability of these sports being added on a permanent basis. AFL will be offered in Term 1 together with cricket, volleyball and swimming. Rugby league will be played throughout Term 3 alongside basketball, tennis and track and field. The traditional sports of rugby and football will remain in Term 2 together with chess and cross country.

Already much planning has taken place to implement AFL and rugby league into the 2019 calendar. Relationships with local clubs and their presidents, including Easts Rugby League and Coorparoo JAFC, have been forged and we look forward to working with these organisations into the future.

The major sporting development of the year was the construction of a new ten lane cricket facility with an under cover area built at Little Langlands. This $250,000 project was built upon and replaced the old eight lane facility. The new nets are full sized and were needed to cater for the expansion of the College’s cricket program in the future. Already in use, we

now wonder how we ever ran a program without them.

In such a strong sports competition, Villanova’s efforts in 2018 have been superb. I often receive positive remarks from people associated with other colleges within our sport associations regarding the conduct of our students on and off the sporting field. Villanova is certainly held in high regard within the AIC Sports Association for producing a high level of competition across all age groups and sports most of the time. But more importantly, I am impressed by the way in which our students conduct themselves, both in victory and defeat.

Success in sport comes about through hard work and dedication. The hard work and dedication needed to do well is often unseen and is generated by the efforts of many people spanning the entire season. Within Villanova’s sports program, our boys are aware that they must be prepared to put in the hard work, effort and determination in order to be competitive. Our College is committed to giving each student the opportunity to participate and to ensure that all teams are well prepared and well organised as they take to the sporting arena.

Like all boys, our students are naturally competitive which we believe is a positive trait. We instill in our students that participation and enjoyment should remain the focus and, above all else, displaying the correct sportsmanship is an absolute must. We often speak at the College assemblies about ‘pride in the jersey’ and the importance of contributing one’s gifts to the College. Almost all of our boys are keen and eager to play sport for their College. When our boys don the Green and Gold, we want them to feel proud and passionate as they represent their school and we want them to enjoy playing alongside their mates - it’s the ‘Villanova Way’. With the assistance of our coaches and managers in 2018, I believe the boys did accomplish this throughout the year.

There is no doubt that our College relies heavily on the involvement of both the staff and parents to take up the many coaching, managerial and officiating roles within each of the sports. At the conclusion and the beginning of each year we distribute letters of assistance asking for members within our community to fulfil these roles. In 2018, the response from our community was fantastic. As our lifestyles become increasingly busy with work and family commitments, it is not always easy to fit in the extra time required to coach and manage teams.

It is great to see that many parents and old

boys have again offered to coach, manage and officiate this year. These fine people have made a substantial contribution to the sports program and I again thank them for their efforts. It is certainly pleasing to be involved in a school which has such a tremendous sense of spirit that when calls of assistance go out many people are willing to put their hands up to offer help. It is for this reason that I sincerely thank all those who assisted in the 2018 AIC sports program. Our coaches freely gave their time in order for our boys to enjoy all the benefits that school sport provides. The reliability, commitment and skills that our coaches, officials and managers have contributed throughout the year is appreciated and has certainly contributed to Villanova’s success.

For more specific results of the 2018 sport season please read the individual reports written by the AIC Sports Co-ordinators. However, it would be remiss of me not to mention our greatest achievements this year which include the titles listed below.

AIC Basketball Champion School – 2018 (Villanova has now held this title for four consecutive years - 2015/16/17/18)

AIC Chess Champion School – 2018

I wish also to acknowledge the efforts of the Villanova Sports Club led by the Club President, Mr Jeremy Meredith. On behalf of the Sports Club, I thank Mrs Jackie Harding for her years of service as she vacates the position of Club Secretary. Jackie certainly gave of herself and made a substantial difference whilst in the role –thanks Jackie! The Sports Club is a parent driven body who meet regularly in order to provide support and assistance to the Villanova sports program. The support ranges from manning canteens during weekend fixtures, the organisation of fundraising events, providing funding for sports related projects and much more. 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 other parents.

I also wish to thank and acknowledge the great work accomplished by my colleagues in the Sports Office including Mr Anthony Kemp (acting AIC Co-ordinator) who took on an acting position in Term 1 and fulfilled the demands of the position in an

exemplary fashion, Mr Blake McLauchlan (AIC Co-ordinator), Mr Chris Everding (AIC Co-ordinator) and Mrs Erika Schofield (School Officer – Sports Office) as well the individual Sports Co-ordinators including Mr Adam Fry (AFL Co-ordinator), Ms Barbara Dewis (Volleyball Co-ordinator), Mrs Juanita Jacobs (Swim and Water Polo Co-ordinator), Mrs Sally England (Chess Co-ordinator), Mr Brett Morrissey (Cross Country Co-ordinator), Mr Anthony Kemp (Football Co-ordinator), Mr Sean O’Neill (Basketball Co-ordinator), Mr Matt Conlan (Golf Co-ordinator) and Mrs Kath Underhill (Tennis Co-ordinator). There is much work done behind the scenes in any sports program. These people go about their business daily without fuss but their contribution should never be underestimated. Thanks team!

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

AIC AFL REPORT

MR ADAM FRY / AIC AFL CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

What a fantastic year for Villanova AFL! 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 2017 the eagerness and determination to do well and compete amongst some of the big AIC schools. From the first weekend, both Mr 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 Year 6B team on a terrific premiership season, it was incredible to watch your skill, teamwork and of course sportsmanship across the whole competition. Special mention must also go to our 6As who were narrowly defeated in the last few minutes in the premiership match. Unfortunately, our Year 5 teams fell just short, but I know that we are all keen to get stuck back in next season. I applaud all players on their continual effort, respect and comradery amongst the group and it has been a huge thrill for both Mr Matt Conlan 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 continual support to ensure that we had such a successful season. I would like to say thank you to Mr Craig Stariha, Mrs Erika Schofield, Mr Blake McLauchlan and Mr Anthony Kemp in the Sports Office for all your work behind the scenes to ensure a fantastic season. And finally, I would like to say a massive thank you to the coaches and of course Mr Matt Conlan 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 skill 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 100 per cent, week in, week out. I look forward to trials and training getting underway at the end of 2018 and cannot wait for round one in 2019.

AIC BASKETBALL REPORT

MR SEAN O’NEILL / AIC BASKETBALL CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

The 2018 basketball season held high hopes for all involved and it did not disappoint with another excellent year of great plays, sportsmanship and results. Having won the aggregate championship three years in a row, it was always going to be a tough ask to do so again but the players and coaches delivered it in superb fashion. We won by an astonishing 21 points, the highest margin out of the four championships, and shows just how dominant as a school we are. It was an amazing effort by all involved.

Villanova entered 34 teams across Years 5 - 12 and of those, 21 won a premiership and a further 10 came in the top three. This was an even greater feat than what was accomplished last year. Our mantra all season was ‘Humble and Hungry’ and I am confident that we delivered on that message. The players continuously displayed excellent sportsmanship on the court, diligent training habits and skills that show how hard they are working on their game.

The 1st V had another impressive season in a very challenging competition. The team ended the season in third place which is a tremendous effort and just reward for the countless hours of training they have put in, not only this year but over the journey in the basketball program. A real

highlight was the win against St Laurence’s College at their new home venue with an enormous crowd presence where they held their nerve in a tight victory. The following week’s harrowing loss to a buzzer beater shot was, despite the loss, a real credit to the grit and determination of all the players.

A special mention must go to all 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 program continues to grow, and it is great to see so many Old Boys returning to coach younger teams. Mention must also go the sports department for all the hard work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The High Performance Program was split into three squads this year to accommodate the growth in numbers and all three squads worked tirelessly over the first semester to improve their skill work, basketball intelligence, and fitness and agility. The training was capped off with us taking three teams to the Gold Coast Invitational which saw our Under 15 team come away as gold medallists.

In other tournaments that we played, the 1st V placed midfield in the Queensland Schools Basketball Championships in Division 2. It was an excellent tournament that allowed our Seniors an opportunity to mix with some developing players. This is a very tough competition and the team had a narrow loss which denied them the chance of entering the top pool. We will be looking to improve on that result next year.

The final tournament of the season was the Queensland Under 15 All Schools Sweet 16 Tournament over four days in Term 4 that was a tremendous success. With players from Years 8 to 10, we were able to top our pool before going on to secure the gold medal. The boys played against some very tough opposition and should be rightly proud of their achievements. Special mention must go to William Mahoney for being selected in the All Stars team and Harry Rouhliadeff for the Finals MVP.

The 2019 season is already in preparation mode as we begin to prepare the High Performance squads and coaches. This will continue to improve our elite players and ensure they lead their age divisions well. We will continue to strive for excellence on and off the court in the way we prepare for season 2019.

AIC GOLF REPORT

MR MATT CONLAN / AIC GOLF CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

On Monday October 29, five of Villanova’s best golfers returned to the challenging Indooroopilly Golf Course as defending champions of the prestigious Balharry Shield. Hoping for a three-peat, Shayle Korander-Matheson, Nixon Smith, Jordy McGarry, Jack Milner, and the newest member of our team, Thomas Winn, found the challenging course too difficult to master on this occasion. The undulating greens proved troublesome and the uncompromising hazards swallowed up any shots that flew wayward.

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. At the close of play, Villanova finished a credible fourth behind eventual winners, Marist College Ashgrove.

Throughout the day, individual prizes were also on offer 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 on Red #8 and Shayle Korander-Matheson who also took home a nearest the pin prize on Blue #5 and the longest drive on Blue #3. Once again, our young men showed great sportsmanship and were excellent ambassadors of the College throughout the day. There is no doubt that we will return to Indooroopilly Golf Club in 2019 in the hope of winning back the coveted Balharry Shield.

AIC CHESS REPORT

MRS SALLY ENGLAND / AIC CHESS CO-ORDINATOR

The Villanova Chess team has enjoyed outstanding success for the last two years with the dedicated group of boys representing the College. Success is gained by natural ability and hard work, both of which the boys have exemplified in the three-year journey that it has taken for them to be crowned the aggregate team for 2018. We came so close in 2017 but the team overcame their disappointment, and everyone stuck to their dreams and worked together to achieve the pinnacle of chess success. This was due to the high-quality play from each team and the consistency of each team - placing in the top three positions for each group. These results enabled Villanova to be the aggregate winners for 2018.

The Opens were represented by Alex Ilka, William Ilka, Nathan Whitby and Hudson Rogers who secured third place. Both Senior A and B teams placed third and second to contribute to the overall position. Senior A and B players were Tom Balshaw, Sam Stenson, Aiden Lee, Max Eberhardt, Alex Wang, Mitchell Droop, Mason Luu, Tom Stenson, Ethan Bell and Andrew Worthington. Congratulations must be given to Sam Stenson who did not lose a game throughout the season.

The Intermediate teams also had a fantastic season with the Intermediate B team winning the premiership with the loss of only one game. The team consisted of Alex Hulme, Tom Winn, Patrick Bryant, Connor Whitby, Sam Carroll and Peter Samios. The Intermediate A team also had a great year, placing third in the season. The team was Tom Hoctor, Harry Blaser, Daniel Waugh, Christian Dang and Connor Whitby.

While the Junior teams are not part of the overall aggregate, they are part of the competition and both teams managed to

70 Years

gain third and second place. Team A was Harry Bryant, Joe Hoctor, Fionn Rossi and Max Blaser. Team B players were Oliver Wills, Jack Neate, Adam Kielenniva, Seb Wilson, Mattias Cotroneo and Liam Little. Congratulations to Oliver who did not lose a game throughout the season - a wonderful effort.

This year, C teams continued to be part of our competition to promote more participation. While Villanova had full teams, it was not a universal participation, so only a few schools fielded C teams. We congratulate 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 always striving to gain a position in AIC. The Intermediate team was Xavier Simondson, Blake Waugh, Lachlan Sturgess, Bailey Lander and Liam Linnett. Finally, we have our large band of enthusiastic juniors – Oscar Comino, Nicholas Humphries, Lewis McMahon, Hudson Donovan and Eli Dunstan. It is also great to see the continuation of family groups participating with siblings from the Ilka, Whitby, Blaser, Hoctor, Stenson and Bryant families representing the College in chess.

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, especially for the hot dogs this year. We also must thank our two Old Boys, Theo Samios and Danny Chung, who helped each week with the juniors, and provided the boys, and Mrs Warren with invaluable support; and Mrs Warren for working with

the juniors during the week and on Friday night to help them prepare. Final thanks go to the four senior members who led the team to victory this year – Nathan Whitby, Hudson Rogers, Tom Balshaw and Alex Wang for their continued support of both the teachers and the boys. We ended the year with a celebration night where the yearly awards were announced:

Best and Fairest

Opens: Alex Ilka

Senior: Sam Stenson

Intermediate: Alexander Hulme

Junior: Oliver Wills

Most Improved

Senior: Max Eberhardt

Intermediate: Patrick Bryant

Junior: Sebastian Wilson

This year we also had a School Championship running at the same time as AIC and as usual, it was a hard-fought competition. The Junior Championship was finally won by Harrison Bryant after a very close competition with Oliver Wills. The Middle School competition was won by William Ilka who defeated Thomas Winn. Great job to all the boys who took part.

While a victory can’t be achieved without the involvement of many people, it has been the players whose dedication across two terms has seen them reach their potential. It has been a great achievement to place so consistently and have an overall aggregate win. Congratulations to the whole team for your persistence and dedication throughout the semester. We look forward to doing it all again next year. Congratulations and well done for 2018!

AIC CRICKET REPORT

MR BLAKE MCLAUCHLAN / AIC SPORTS CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

Villanova began Term 1 sport confidently in cricket. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us. The wet and soggy conditions made it hard with 13 wins, 13 draws and 7 losses against St Patrick’s College in Round 1. But the wet conditions didn’t end there. All AIC games were cancelled for Round 4 against Padua due to more torrential rain. Villanova bounced back and won Round 5 against Iona, 18 matches to 16. More rain resulted in the cancellation of all of our Years 5 to 8 teams playing at Villanova Park for Round 6 versus St Peters Lutheran College. However, of the games that were played, we won the aggregate for Round 6 with six wins and six draws. The final round against Ashgrove was always going to be tough but having beaten five other AIC colleges in the previous aggregate rounds, we were confident that our sides were going to be competitive and that we could come away with some premierships.

Congratulations to the 3rd XI, 9B, 7A and 7B sides for winning aggregate premierships and to the 10C, 9C, 8C and 7C sides who were the only non-aggregate premiership winning teams. Unfortunately, the 1st XI, 2nd XI and 10A premiership games all came down to the final round, but Ashgrove were too strong on the day.

Overall, Villanova finished second in the aggregate behind Ashgrove and we were only nine points away from claiming the aggregate shield. This is an outstanding achievement and an improvement from our third place aggregate result last year. The two wet rounds against St Patrick’s and St Peter’s were the rounds that really cost us valuable points. The final overall aggregate results are as follows:

1st – Marist Brother’s Ashgrove – 81

2nd - Villanova College – 73

3rd – St Laurence’s College – 68

4th – Padua College – 64.5

5th – St Patrick’s College – 53.5

6th – Iona College – 42

7th – St Peter’s Lutheran College – 24

8th – St Edmund’s College - 16

In the Junior School we didn’t have any undefeated sides for 2018 but congratulations to the Year 5 White team who only had one loss.

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

2nd place - 2nd XI and 10A

3rd place - 1st XI, 4th XI and 8B

AIC Cricket Premierships Teams/Coaches:

3rd XI – Rob Cole

10C – Jamie Mullins

9B – Mick Druery and Neville Jeffs

9C – Jack Blanchfield and Aidan Dooley

8C – Jeff Ilka

7A – Stewart Rieck

7B – Sean Parker and Joshua Fraser

7C – Harrison Stanfield and Josh Mullins

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: Mr Chris Purcell and Mr Tony Rolls.

Parents: Phil Horton, Rob Cole, Michael Schouten, David Short, Mick Druery, Neville Jeffs, Ross Whitby, Jeff Ilka, Stewart Rieck, John Godwin, Mark Eustance, Damien Colbert, Rohan McCaul, David Hollett, Simon Dickie, James Anderson and Luke O’Neill.

Outside coaches: Lee Parker, Gary Mulcahy, Jamie Mullins and Warren Dillon.

I would like to make special mention of the following group of Old Boys, who have returned to the College and helped out 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:

Justin Lee, Ravin De Wijeyeratne, Damon Mulcahy, Sean Finnimore, Jack Blanchfield, Aidan Dooley, George Myers, Lachlan Wolf, Lachlan Perrier, Julian Rhodes, Sean Parker, Joshua Fraser, Harrison Stanfield, Joshua Mullins, Joshua Cole, Jack Fraser, Lachlan Kearney, Corey Heaton, Dominic Coote, Matthew Watson, Danyon Muller, Benji Lynch, Bennett Griffin, Patrick Coffey, Sam Ryan, Thomas Seymour, Sam Everding, Matthew Winsbury, Patrick Thomas and Jonty Carlson. Without the support of our parents and Old Boys, it would be difficult to field 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.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Villanova College cricket Director, Nathan Dufty. Nathan has been instrumental in raising the profile of cricket at Villanova. He continues to strive to get the absolute best out of our players and worked closely with all coaches and players throughout the entire season. The Villanova College Cricket season would not have the success it has had without him.

Bring on 2019!

AIC CROSS COUNTRY REPORT

MR BRETT MORRISSEY / AIC CROSS COUNTRY CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

In 2018, more runners trained consistently for Villanova College than ever before. 127 runners were at Limestone Park for the AIC Championships representing Villanova, either by running on the day or as a reserve for their respective teams. The progress of cross country running at our College is to be proudly applauded.

The training began in Week 4 of Term 2, and concluded 13 weeks later, on August 8. Several runners completed between 30-35 training sessions in this timespan, which represents not just a tremendous contribution to Villanova College, but also to the health and fitness of the individual. The improvement demonstrated by so many runners throughout the season has been a privilege to witness.

Villanova gained fifth place at the AIC Championships in 2018, a small slip from the equal third place we enjoyed last year, but a fair reflection of the performance of our runners on championship day.

Noteable performers on AIC Championship day were:

Year 5:

Patrick Holmes – 8th place

Charley Hegarty – 12th place

Gianni Laurito – 17th place

Mitchell Millard – 19th place

Year 6:

Ryan Siebel – 7th place

John Nolan – 16th place

Henry Oberhardt – 20th place

Max Carson – 21st place

Under 12:

Isaac Greenwood – 23rd place

Under 13:

Cohen Stewart – 1st place

Mitchell Rieck – 3rd place

Caden Griffiths – 11th place

Lucas Whitlock – 22nd place

Luke Schaumburg – 23rd place

Under 14:

Jacob Dimmick – 2nd place

Ryan MartakisWebb – 18th place

Under 15:

Oliver Rae – 15th place

Under 16:

Lucas Boylan – 12th place

Jake Merrett – 14th place

Hamish Muir – 20th place

Year 6 – 3rd place

Under 12 – 7th place

Under 13 – 2nd place

Under 14 – 4th place

Under 15 – 7th place

Under 16 – 6th place

Open – 6th place

One of the highlights of our season is always the Cross Country Camp, which was held once again at the idyllic Sunshine

Coast location of Currimundi Beach. Runners from Years 7 to 12 complete rigorous training sessions over a threeday period but enjoy plenty of relaxation in between these sessions. Villanova College has an annual traditional race titled ‘King of the Mountain’, held during the Cross Country Camp since the 1980s. The impressive winner in 2018 was Shayle Korander-Mattheson (Year 12), and he was presented with the winner’s trophy on assembly in Term 3.

I would like to thank fellow coaches and managers, Mr Brian Pascoe (teacher), Mr Matthew Conlan (teacher), Mr Tom Lonergan (external coach) and Mr David Barton (Villanova Old Boy) for the dedication and enthusiasm they brought to the Cross Country Program again this year. The continuing growing numbers of runners is a direct reflection of the passion the coaches have for running, and their desire to see young men pushing their personal limits.

Congratulations to all runners on a superb season.

AIC FOOTBALL REPORT

MR ANTHONY KEMP / AIC FOOTBALL CO-ORDINATOR

It has been a privilege to witness the 2018 football season unfold at Villanova as the dedication and commitment from all involved in the program has continued to push football at Villanova in the right direction. It has been a season of many improvements across the board and is highly encouraging for the future. The 34 teams from Years 5 to 12 have proudly donned the Green and Gold week in, week out since the trials which started back in Week 9 of Term 1.

There was much anticipation around the 1st XI squad coming into the season and the boys were eager to once again put Villanova in the mix for the ultimate goal of the AIC Premiership. The season kicked off for these boys last year in Term 4 under the guidance and watchful eye of new coach, Mr Tom Carnarvas, assisted closely by new manager, Mr Terry Kambouris. The squad was put through their paces in the pre-season and tested in many trial matches. It was clear to see from early on that this could be a season that the 1st XI really pushed for the title. The team was tested in several pre-season games against classy opposition in Brisbane Boys’ College, Nudgee and Kimberley College. From those three games, the boys came away with wins against Brisbane Boys’ College and Nudgee and a loss against Kimberley College, which only added to the excitement levels of the upcoming AIC season.

During the Easter break, the 1st XI boys took on the Old Boys in what is always a grudge match that neither side wants to lose. Fortunately for both sides it ended respectully in a draw.

Overall, our 1st XI finished the season with three victories over Brisbane Boys’ College, St Edmund’s College and Padua. They also managed to have two hardfought drawn matches against St Patrick’s College and Ashgrove respectively. These outstanding results led to the boys finishing a very respectable fourth in their division amongst some quality sides. Unfortunately, there were a few close losses throughout the season that could have ultimately changed the overall outcome for the team. The 2018 season included many highlights for the 1st XI team. Most notably, the first win of

70 Years

the season will no doubt live long in the memory as it not only came against our arch rivals in St Laurence’s in a tight 2-1 tussle, but this was the first win in many seasons for the 1st XI squad in the AIC competition. Although the last game of the season against Ashgrove resulted in a 2-2 draw, the way the team was able to continue to fight when the chips were down highlighted just how far this team has come. After taking the lead early and dominating throughout the match, the boys quickly found themselves on the wrong side of the score, down 2-1. It would have been easy for the boys to drop their heads and think about what could have been. However, they decided to dig in and continue to press for the result they deserve. What happened next was one of the true highlights of the season. Deciding to take the situation into his own hands, Nixon Smith unleashed a screamer from outside the box that wouldn’t be out of place in a World Cup highlight reel ensuring that the 1sts finished the season on a high. Congratulations to all the boys on an outstanding season.

In the overall aggregate, Villanova placed a very respectble fourth just behind Ashgrove who won the aggregate last year. Villanova has managed to maintain fourth spot in the overall aggregate but is slowly beginning to shorten the gap to the competition in front. Congratulations to the 8As who managed to finish the season as joint premiers with Ashgrove. The 8As needed to beat Ashgrove in the last game of the season to finish as joint premiers and managed to do so in an extremely tight game. Other notable teams that deserve a mention for their efforts throughout the season include the 7As who finished the season in second place and the 7Bs, 8Bs and 10Bs who all placed third in their respective divisions. A special mention must be given to our 8 White, 9 White and 10C football teams who managed to finish the season undefeated, which is no easy task. Well done to the players and coaches from these teams. The level of success that Villanova has enjoyed this season certainly gives hope for further improvement next year and beyond, which is truly exciting. The successful season that Villanova enjoyed can not be attributed only to the players, but also to the hard work

and enthusiasm from a wide range of community members. It takes a lot of organisation on the behalf of coaches and managers to ensure that the players are ready and focused each week to take to the field. We are extremely lucky as a College to have parents, Old Boys, staff members and external coaches who give up their time for the benefit and betterment of our Football Program.

I would like to acknowledge those parents who have dedicated themselves to Villanova Football in 2018. Thank you to Mr Terry Kambouris, Mr Paul Mulligan, Mr Richard Danen and Mr Aldo Avolio. It is always great to see so many Old Boys return to give back to the College and we truly thank you for your time and efforts and hope to see you again next year. We have also been fortunate to have coaches join the Villanova coaching ranks for the first time as external coaches and we would like to thank Anthony Sarramea, Abrahim Yango and Rhyss Schofield. Several staff members also contributed to the football program this year and as always, it is appreciated. A big thank you goes to Mr Matthew Wilson 6B, Ms Georgia Mills-Geer 6 Gold, Ms Kirstina Moss 5A, Miss Kelson Lee 5C and Mrs Nichole Rouhliadeff 5 White. We have been fortunate to have the services of goalkeeper coach, Anthony De Luca who has guided our boys in this specialist role and his efforts are truly appreciated. Finally, a big thank you must go to Football Director, Michael Rooney for all his support and help throughout the entire season assisting the coaches and players.

The games wouldn’t be able to take place without community members assisting with the whistle on the field. Thank you to those parents, students and extended members of the Villanova community that have assisted throughout the season by officiating the games. Thank you to Tony Papapavlou, Vassili Stammes, James Danen, Callum Davies, Tom Spillane, Joseph Intelisano and Jake Balzano. Also, thanks to the following students for their assistance: Hunter Gapes, Tom Knowles, Isaac Langford and Jaxson PatersonWright. The 2018 season would not have been possible without the ongoing support and assistance of these community members.

AIC RUGBY REPORT

MR BLAKE MCLAUCHLAN / AIC SPORT CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Villanova Rugby program for 2018. It was fantastic to see how committed our boys were and the skill level improve as the season progressed. For all our boys, trials began in Week 9 of Term 1 where 21 teams from Years 5 to 12 were selected and entered the AIC Competition.

Our 1st XV squad commenced their strength and conditioning training in Term 4 last year. They participated in AIC trials against Iona, St Laurence’s and St Patrick’s. Over the Easter holidays they competed in the Ballymore Cup which was a three-day tournament against various schools around Queensland. During the competition they proved that they were going to be competitive during the AIC season. Unfortunately, they just missed out on the grand final game in their division for the tournament. They then went on to play against Marcellin College from Victoria where they won convincingly.

There was no doubt that the 1st XV squad was mentally and physically prepared for the 2018 AIC season. Overall, our 1st XV completed the season with four wins against St Laurence’s, St Edmund’s, Padua and St Peter’s and finished the season in fourth place. The most notable performances were the fixtures against St Laurence’s, Padua and St Peter’s.

The Villanova Old Boys’ round versus St Laurence’s was a huge success and the 1st XV did not disappoint on such a big occasion after losing to them in the trials.

The rounds against Padua and St Peter’s proved that the 1st XV could play with grit, hunger and determination. From the kick off, our boys were organised and structured with every carry. They managed to secure two big wins and stacked on

enormous points against their opposition. Thank you to all the supporters who stuck around to spectate and support our 1st XV throughout the season.

Unfortunately, once again Villanova rugby was plagued with injuries early in the season. Our Opens, 10As and 8As lost some 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 St Laurence’s and St Edmund’s. Slowly, boys began returning from injury as we approached the back end of the season. This brought some muchneeded momentum that was displayed during matches against Padua and St Peter’s.

Overall, Villanova placed fourth in the aggregate in front of Padua and St Patrick’s. This is an improvement from last year’s fifth place result. Congratulations to the 7As who shared the premiership in the aggregate competition. Other teams that also deserve a mention were the 2nd XV, 9Cs, 9Bs and 9As who completed their season in second place and the 7Bs in third place. Congratulations to our 6 Gold team who were the only undefeated team for 2018. 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 21 teams that represented the College and a huge thank you goes out to everyone involved for what has been a 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 Matthew Thornton, Mr David Harris, Mr Phil Brown, Mr David Hollett, Mr Justin Kerr and Mr Rohan McCaul. A huge thank you to our Old Boys who came on board this year. Thank you to Mr Harrison Stanfield, Mr Josh Mullins, Mr Sam Harding, Mr Kane Sheehy, Mr Kosta Kelley-Reskic, Mr Pat Thomas, Mr Fletcher O’Neil, Mr Ben Cree, Mr Patrick Coffey and Mr Scott Mains. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff members who came on board this year. Thank you to Mr Steve Bremner, Mr Mick Garske, Mr Paul Olsen, Mr Matt Levander, Mr Brett Morrissey, Mr Matthew Lalor, Mr Stuart Rowland, Mr Jack O’Hare, Mr Matthew Smith, Mr Alex Sullivan, Mr Chris Purcell, Mr Callum Hackett, Mr Brendan Kennedy and Mr Cameron Wicks. It is fantastic to have so many staff members on board who contribute to establishing a rugby culture within the College. Finally, I would also like to extend a massive thank you to all 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 Peter Roberts, Mr Jim Harris, Mr Michael Moloney and Mr Matthew Campbell. We are also very lucky to have students who volunteer to referee. Thank you to George Greenhalgh, Will Lawrence and Frazer Moloney. Without the ongoing support and assistance from the many members of the Villanova College community, the 2018 season would not have been possible.

Bring on 2019!

AIC SWIMMING REPORT

MRS JUANITA JACOBS / AIC SWIMMING CO-ORDINATOR

The 2018 AIC Swimming Championships was a successful day of swimming for Villanova. The day of competition brought a general sense of excitement amongst the boys as they prepared for their events and contemplated all their hard work and preparation during the season. The boys had been training with our coaches from Langlands pool since October 2017. As one of the first sports for the year, it is the first introduction to the Villanova community for many of the boys and an excellent opportunity to meet others in their grade and make friends.

We had a successful day finishing third for the Junior competition, and fifth in the Senior competition. Many of our boys had top three finishes. Overall, there were 12 first places, nine second places and 17 third places. The Year 6 relay team broke the AIC record in both their freestyle and medley relays and finished first in their age group overall. Most of these swimmers went on to compete at district, state and national competitions with continued success. Congratulations to all the swimmers for their efforts on the day of the Championships as well as all their time in the pool training.

This year we had a very large Year 5 and 6 squad, a group of dedicated boys who have worked hard to improve their skills and techniques and support each other in the pool. Their enthusiasm for swimming and willingness to give of their time and efforts in the pool is really exciting to see. It highlights how they have embraced the Villanova spirit, and share their gifts and talents with the community. We are seeing a lot of talented swimmers moving through the grades, building depth to the squad and improving our competitiveness in the pool and we look forward to continuing our relationship with the coaching staff

70 Years

at Brisbane Jets and the Langlands pool. On behalf of the team, I would like to congratulate Harrison Vig from Year 10. He was one of the competitors in the trials swimming in the 100m S9 freestyle and backstroke events at the Commonwealth Games trials and performed exceptionally well against swimmers with much more experience (and age) behind them. The training and determination to be prepared for that competition is significant, and Harry achieved enormous success just to meet the qualifying times for these trials. He finished fourth in both the 100m freestyle and 100m backstroke. I know I speak for all of us at the College when I say that you have already achieved so much Harry and we wish you all the success possible in the future.

We were very fortunate this year to have an Open team who demonstrated great leadership and support to the staff and students. They have been instrumental in the design of the new caps for the team and special ones for the Open team. Although they may not realise it, helping at the swim clinic such as cooking the barbeque and assisting in the clean-up, helping to walk the younger students up the hill in the mornings, or even doing a coffee run at Chandler for a caffeinedeprived teacher are examples of visible service leadership which offer positive role modelling for the younger students. Well done and thank you.

Finally, I would like to give special thanks to the people who have made the season possible. To Kerry, Guilly and Roarke from Langlands, thank you for your patience, kindness and sharing your knowledge and experience to the Villanova students. The improvement in skill is clearly visible and valued by the swimmers and their parents. As one of the Year 5s told me recently, ‘I

realised I was breathing wrong and had to change part way through so Kerry wouldn’t be upset’. It is a sign of great respect and gratitude that the boys are so determined to do their best and prove themselves to the coaches.

To the parents who have volunteered with the Friday morning barbecues, thank you for feeding the hungry hoards. To all the parents who also share the early morning wake-ups for training, I know the boys appreciate your support of them.

To Ms Moss, Mr O’Hare, Ms Dillon and Ms Henry, thank you for your assistance with the squads, again, the season is not possible without you.

ST AUGUSTINE’S TOUR REPORT

JAMES KING / COLLEGE CAPTAIN

70 Years

The event that was eagerly anticipated on many boys’ calendars had finally arrived. On June 27, over 40 Villanova men travelled to St Augustine’s College in Sydney for the annual Augustinian-based event. Consisting of four sporting matches, all games were extremely competitive with rugby, basketball and football teams leading with limited time left on the clock and debating coming down to a close point match up. Unfortunately, the men

from Manly took the victory, winning all four events, however this certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. New friendships were formed, as all Villanovans were warmly accepted into the billeted households receiving exceptional hospitality from the parents and boys who were hosting.

Activities involving the Sydney culture were also enjoyed, with the boys spending considerable time relaxing at Manly Beach

and seeing the iconic sites of Circular Quay, including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge! Overall the high expectations of the tour were not only met, but exceeded. All the boys had a great time and strengthened the Augustinian bond we value so highly at our College. I hope this tradition continues so younger Villanovans are able to enjoy a great experience whilst gaining a better understanding of the College’s foundational roots.

AIC TENNIS REPORT

MRS KATH UNDERHILL / AIC TENNIS CO-ORDINATOR

70 Years

The 2018 tennis season kicked off early with tennis clinics and training sessions well attended, and enthusiastic Villanovan players ready to give it their best for a long season ahead. 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 6B team being undefeated premiers for the 2018 season. This year College tennis was well supported by many. Thank you to the sports department, whose investment in increasing the number of professional coaches and training time was invaluable for skill development. My thanks go to

the efforts of all managers who worked so patiently with all teams: Mrs Maria Mascadri, Mr Julian Mascadri, Mr Sean Conway, Ms Barbara Dewis, Mr Matt Lalor, Mr Matt Pertnikovs, Mr Yannick Norman and Mr Ben Stuart. We also wish to acknowledge the support and professional input from Mr Clive Martin from the team at 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. Under the leadership of courageous captain, Shayle KoranderMatheson, the team fought with all their

might in every match, regardless of the opposition’s strength. While they didn’t always end with the desired result, they competed each week with pride, backed by great encouragement and tactical advice from coaches and manager extraordinaire, Sean Conway. I wish to personally thank Sean once again for his meticulous management.

Finally, to the players, well done on a hard-fought season. All the best to our Year 12 tennis aces, you have certainly added to the atmosphere of the courts with your jocularity and ‘fired up’ spirit. We look forward to welcoming our 2019 tennis recruits.

AIC TRACK AND FIELD REPORT

MR

MICHAEL GARSKE / AIC TRACK AND FIELD COACH

70 Years

Firstly, I would like to thank all the Villanova athletes who committed their time and efforts towards competing for spots in this year’s team. Training attendance was excellent throughout the season and the boys are to be commended for the hard work they put in on the track. After day one of competition, Villanova was holding on to fifth place in the aggregate. Highlights of the first day included Mitchell Rieck winning the 13 Years 1500m (Div. 1 - 4:46.21) and Nic Elsey winning the Open 110m hurdles (Div. 1 - 14.85). On day two, after some final ‘passionate’ words of encouragement from Mr Stariha and squad captain, Nic Elsey, the team set about the challenge of maintaining this hard-earned position. It was never going to be easy due to the high quality of athletes they would be up against from all the opposition

schools. The 2018 AIC Track and Field Championships were, again, of the highest standard with eight new individual records and two new relay records set. There were many notable performances by Villanova athletes throughout the Championships, with Villanova athletes achieving nine first places, 20 second places (19 individual events; one relay) and 22 third places (21 individual events; one relay). Special mention goes to the following Villanova athletes who achieved first place in their events:

“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.

Villanova Volleyball did not stop at the end of AIC competition in Term 1. Players participated in tournaments that would provide an extra dimension to their skills development. Teams were entered in the Primary Schools Cup, Junior Schools Cup, Senior Schools Cup, Provence Cup, and National Schools Cup. These competitions are spread right across the different year levels to give players an opportunity of experiencing volleyball at a higher level. The only Schools Cup Tournament Villanova did not take part in was the Intermediate division which is held during the rugby season. Villanova was successful in the Junior Schools Cup tournament held in October 2018 on the Gold Coast. The Junior Schools Cup is for Year 7 and 8; Intermediate Schools Cup for Year 9 and 10 and Senior Schools Cup for Year 10, 11 and 12.

In 2018, Villanova’s participation in the Junior Schools Cup was rewarded with a gold medal in Year 8 Division 2. This win added another medal to the players’ collection after claiming silver the previous year. The Year 7 team finished a creditable ninth at the same tournament. Congratulations must go to both coaches

– Kealan Dunnett and Mrs Melissa Wilson

The Provence Cup and National Schools Cup is proving to be a tough gig for Villanova Volleyball, however success will come when hard work and effort is at the forefront for each team entered. These competitions will continue to provide a platform for coaches to gauge players’ performance in readiness for the following year’s AIC volleyball season. Furthermore, trial games were conducted against Iona and St Laurence’s with promising results from both trials. To be competitive we must play the best.

Villanova Volleyball entered 19 teams into the AIC Volleyball competition with the only premiership for Villanova going to the Seconds. Congratulations to those players and their coach, Brad Cotton. Overall, Villanova finished seventh on the aggregate table.

Coaches for these teams faced the challenging task of selecting players from a high number of boys who were vying for a place in teams. The selection of players was challenging, physically and mentally. Games throughout the season were won or lost by two or three points which then tests the strength of players’ mental capacity to overcome the closeness of these games.

Feedback to coaches by Dean Bielanowski as Skills Co-ordinator, allowed players to improve on passes, sets, hits, take off, arm swings and footwork. Coaches gained from

Dean’s input at the many training sessions attended by him to assist or ask questions of him for best practice in a variety of drills conducted. Villanova Volleyball can only progress with this assistance given to coaches and players. Villanova will no longer have Dean contributing or advising coaches and players alike, due to commitments with Queensland Academy of Sport.

Before concluding this report, I would like to thank all coaches and Dean Bielanowski for their time and patience in sharing their knowledge of the game with the players. Thanks must also go to all players, and their parents especially, who attend each game to give support and encouragement, and assist by helping in the canteen and on the barbecue, packing up at the end of the day and transporting their sons to and from games. This year we farewell many families who have been involved in volleyball at the College. Those families include – Lisignoli (Ethan), Harding (Damien), Codina (Tristan), Rotscheid-Felu (Tyreece), Rosen (Brayden) and Brown (Samuel) to name a few.

An extra special thanks to Mrs Robyn Gunning for her tireless effort to ensure the canteen is up and running each home game, Mr Jeremy Meredith for firing up the barbecue for home games and Mr Anthony Kemp for co-ordinating scorers, referees and duties for all home games .

VALE MR NICK SIMPSON

On Sunday, October 25, 2018, Nick Simpson passed away suddenly. Nick was an Old Boy of Villanova College and was a valued member of staff since 2009. Following is a message from Fr Dave Austin OSA:

“I am writing to offer my sincere sympathy to all in the Villanova community on the untimely and tragic death of Nick Simpson. This is a great shock to us all – not least to his family.

Nick was a student when I first came to teach at Villanova College and he later returned to the teaching staff – on two occasions as I recall. Villanova was his true home and he contributed generously in so many ways, particularly being the person he was – always a man of integrity, a valued colleague and positive contributor in all areas, a genuine and committed teacher who showed great concern for the boys in his care.

I have written to Marie and their children and also to Peter, and offered Mass for Nick and the family here in Chicago.

You and the College community are in my thoughts and prayers in these sad and difficult days.”

The Early Days

News article from page 8 of the Sydney ‘Truth’ newspaper, Sunday September 28, 1947.

Whinstanes was purchased by the Augustinians on February 1, 1947 for £15,000 (a small house in Brisbane at the time sold for approximately £200). Father Larkin was given the task of preparing the property for school to begin in 1948.

The school house in the grounds was already partitioned into three classrooms. Father Larkin obtained and erected two army huts on the site. Two tennis courts were constructed along with a cricket oval, basketball court and a football field. There was also a boxing ring thought to have been left there by the American forces who occupied the site during WWII. The residence was altered to include a chapel and sacristy.

Father O’Donnell and Father Mahony left Shannon, Ireland, on Sunday 21 September, 1947, flying via Newfoundland, New York, California, Honolulu, Nandi and arrived in Sydney on Saturday 27 September where they were met by Father Larkin who drove them to Brisbane.

What awaited them in Brisbane was not quite what they had expected. Years later, Father O’Donnell recalled how they were met at Sydney airport by reporters from the Sydney ‘Truth’. He recalled saying that there were 250 boys enrolled and waiting for them in this new school. The item appeared in the paper on Sunday, September 28, 1947. This is what they had been given to understand in Ireland. Unfortunately the reality was a little different. When he arrived in Brisbane he found that there was but one student enrolled: Richard Saxby, the son of an Ipswich doctor. However, both Father O’Donnell and Father Mahony took it in their stride and started preparations for school the following year. From local Catholic primary schools they obtained the names of students considering going to a boys’ school. They both began knocking on doors and speaking to parents. As a result the school opened the following February with 40 boys spread over Years 5, 6 and 7.

Brother Gregory Fitzgerald OSA was already in residence, Father O’Shea and Father Woods arrived on November 6, 1947, and Father Hanrahan arrived the day before school began. The official opening was on Sunday 25 January, 1948.

At the front of the car are Fathers O’Donnell and Mahoney, with Father Larkin in the car, and Brother Gregory behind. Taken early October, 1947.

Fathers O’Donnell and Mahoney, having just arrived from Ireland, were on their way to Brisbane to establish Villanova College.
