Noting the profound movements at work in our contemporary age, Pope Francis has observed: “We are not living in an era of change, but a change of era” (2015). The defining aspect of this change of era is that things are no longer in their place. That which appeared normal to us – family, the Church, society and the world – will probably no longer seem that way. We cannot be under the illusion that things will return to being how they were before. There is no settling down, only settling up. To ensure we prepare our students to not only adapt to this changing world but to flourish within it, we must respond to the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Mr Bernard Salt, social commentator and demographer, at a recent presentation to Heads of Independent Schools of Australia, spoke about the rapid changes engulfing countries like Australia. He shared with the audience several key markers of change showing that years of prosperity have created a culture of aspirations seen through the increase in the size of the family home over the last 60 years, improved life expectancy, and that the jobs of tomorrow will depend on the entrepreneurship of today. Work life and the way we live are being reimagined. Many parents will now discover that adolescence will last well into the early twenties with millennials hesitant

to leave home to strike out on their own. Associated with this rapidity of change is a lack of trust in large organisations. Australians generally have lost faith in big institutions and are increasingly cynical. Australians crave authenticity. New technologies are creating new employment opportunities while diminishing many traditional roles. With an ageing population, health and care services are driving job growth across Australia.

Bernard Salt concluded his presentation with three key takeaways:

1. Australia has the capacity to invest in education.

2. Australia’s population in the 2020s will be from diverse cultural backgrounds with different attitudes and expectations particularly around schooling and the role of schools.

3. The jobs and skills required in the future will shift and shuffle. The skill set that today’s students need is the ability to be flexible and agile. To pitch their skills set, they need to be self-confident and sociable.

In an era of change as we move further into the 21st century I see four key opportunities for our College and community:

The first of these opportunities is deepening our Catholic identity. Villanova College contributes to the Church’s educational ministry animated by a Catholic worldview of the individual and community centred on the human person and the Gospel vision of Jesus Christ, and with a distinctive Augustinian focus.

We can define Catholic identity as the way in which the Gospel of Jesus is given living expression in our school community, deeply permeating structures, processes, relationships and the teaching and learning context.

A contemporary Catholic identity is borne

of the encounter between faith, life and culture, in a way that offers every student and family lifelong meaning and purpose. The challenge for our Catholic identity is to be open to new ways of being in the world that are born of a deep understanding of the past and present experiences of God. The second opportunity presenting is the preparation of young people for the world of the future. Engaging with research into neuroscience, the learning brain and classroom designs enables teachers to confidently develop effective pedagogy in their classrooms to optimise boys’ learning. Complementing effective pedagogy is a clear understanding of the social, spiritual and emotional developmental requirements of young adolescents. The new Queensland Certificate of Education introduced into Queensland schools in 2019 has embedded within the learning experiences, capabilities, skills and attributes students will require for a promising future.

The design of the new Learning Centre, currently under construction, has resulted from wide and detailed consultation with many professionals. The use of pilot classrooms to inform our future practices has greatly assisted the change process. We have learnt not only from our successes but also from what did not work - our failures. It is from these learnings that the design of the new classrooms and effective pedagogies have emerged.

The third opportunity is wellbeing of staff and students. The World Health Organisation defines wellbeing as a state in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community (WHO, 2016).

We know there is a strong link between student wellbeing, learning outcomes and the life trajectory of students. We recognise

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 2
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

that the wellbeing of young people is improved, and their learning outcomes optimised, when they feel connected to others and experience safe and trusting relationships.

Student wellbeing is a multi-dimensional concept. It is difficult to measure wellbeing in a consistent way. Villanova College, like many schools, uses a variety of different tools to measure student wellbeing, ranging from surveys to individual engagement with support services.

Staff wellbeing is a critical factor in building a stable environment for students. Ultimately, a healthier workforce will positively influence student engagement leading to better learning outcomes.

A key priority over the next 12 months is to develop a wellbeing framework for staff and students to systematically guide wellbeing initiatives and programs across our community. This framework will include dimensions to address psychological, spiritual and occupational wellbeing, assist to implement strategies to reduce stress and increase protective factors for good mental health and engagement, and decrease absenteeism.

The fourth opportunity for our community is to continue to flourish and be an authentic and relevant place of learning now and into the future. There is no doubt the reasons for families to choose a Catholic school for their son’s education have changed in the last decade. The increasing secularisation of society, the rapid drop in Church attendance and those who identify with a particular Christian faith, the findings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse and the distrust that has resulted are a number of the factors that present significant challenges to attracting enrolments. Villanova College is located within a very competitive market and the future development of “state-of-the-art”

state colleges will place further strain on attracting and maintaining enrolments. The College Master Plan provides new and refurbished facilities that will enable our staff to continue to provide innovative and engaging learning experiences for students who are increasingly becoming tech-savvy, coupled with a youthful enthusiasm to embrace new ways of learning and exploring this wonderful world.

A point of distinction is our belief that an Augustinian education is primarily selfeducation. The subject matter is our human condition - we place great value on knowing oneself and the inner truth - the presence of God within each person. Learning in the Augustinian tradition consists of learning to love and learning to think. Together these two dimensions lead to the path of true freedom.

Education is not the filling of an empty bucket, but the lighting of a fire. I hope the passion for learning and discovering new knowledge has been lit in your hearts. An Augustinian education values lifelong learning – a continual searching for the truth.

My special thanks to the members of the teaching and support staff. Deep within your hearts is a desire to make a difference in the young lives of the students and families we serve. We believe in the power of education to transform our world. 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 Peter Jones, Prior Provincial, as well as the Brisbane Augustinian community who keep our College in their prayers and thoughts.

The Villanova College Board, Parents and Friends Association, Sports Club and

Music Supporters Group have all worked tirelessly for the College during 2019. 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 and Ms Sally Byron – 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 2019. I also wish to acknowledge and thank Ms Amanda Waterson, Principal’s Executive Assistant, for her dedication, professionalism and never-ending patience. To my wife Leigh, thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement.

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.

A wise Augustinian gave me a card with words from St Augustine that beautifully express our humble place in this era of change:

“Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to his love, the future to his providence.” St Augustine.

May we find hope in the challenge of disruption, hope in the challenge of change and hope in the energy of renewal. May our baptismal call always be one to action, to seek, to knock, to find and to discover in life the delight and the energy of hope in renewal.

I look forward to serving the community of Villanova College in 2020.

God bless.

GRADUATION CEREMONY

YEAR

study looked at the effects of the traditional macho image of men. One of the key findings from the report picked up by the media found that young men who conform to traditional definitions of manhood are more likely to suffer harm to themselves and do harm to others.

that stands above the others. These five characteristics blend together to be the foundation upon which we build our education of young men.

Ladies and gentlemen, members of staff, parents and family members of our graduating 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.

Earlier this year the results of an Australian research project were published that captured the attention of the media. The

Arising from this research emerged a new term, ‘toxic masculinity’. This term labelled the traditional male role characterised by qualities such as toughness, aggression, a suppression of emotion, dominance and stoicism, as harmful to men and those around them. Some commentators jumped on this term and seemed happy to confer all the harm in our society to the male condition. This is simply not fair or right. Villanova College has a clear responsibility to educate young men of today to be good men. With the assistance of parents and families, our staff are dedicated to helping boys and men live respectful, accountable and fulfilling lives.

The Augustinian Graduate project identified five key characteristics or qualities of a graduate from our schools; humility; interiority; community; the restless search for truth and ongoing conversion.

Of these, there is no one characteristic

A point of distinction is our belief that an Augustinian education is primarily, selfeducation. The subject matter is our human condition, we place great value on knowing oneself and the inner truth, the presence of God within each person. Learning in the Augustinian tradition consists of learning to love and learning to think. Together these two dimensions lead to the path to true freedom.

I am proud of the young men of the Class of 2019. During this year you have shown great support for each other and for the younger students. You have responded to the many challenges you have faced this year with determination and optimism. I sincerely thank you for your leadership and support of our College across this year.

Tonight, you walk out of Villanova College with only one thing that no one else has. There will be thousands of people out there with your same qualifications; there will be hundreds 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.

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 4

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 - Matthew Rolls, Vice-Captain – Will Barwick and Student Council President – Nickolas Sofios, 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 2019.

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 an Augustinian education is the importance of the teacher- student relationship. This was clearly evident when I watched the manner in which the Year 12 students and staff interacted at the Staff/ Senior Banquet, and more recently at the Senior Formal. 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 Peter Meecham – Year 12 Pastoral Leader has been a constant presence 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. His wonderful sense of humour has often allowed difficult situations to quickly diffuse. Mr Matt Levander - Head of Senior School, always sets the highest standards and has watched over and guided this group with passion. He has been an example of the Senior motto for this year, ‘Where passion lies, success follows’. His passion for each student leads to your success as a young man.

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 his hand. God bless.

The Celebration of Excellence night at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre is such a special night in the annual calendar of the College. One can only be impressed by the calibre of the boys and young men who have taken on the Augustinian ethos they have absorbed during their time at Villanova.

On that night, members of the College Board get to see the manifestation of their quiet endeavors. The Villanova College Board has been given the governance responsibility of the College by the Augustinian Order. Each and every one of the directors take that responsibility very seriously and our primary objective is to secure the long-term future of the school. The emerging of the new Teaching and Learning Centre on the Coorparoo campus is testament to the Board’s confidence in the future of the College.

During the past year, Joan Mackay, Julie Quinn and Father Francis Belcina OSA joined the College Board. I am sure Villanova will greatly benefit from their talents and thoughtful contributions over the coming years. The Board is immensely grateful for many in the community who have put their names forward to be considered for Board membership. When a vacancy arises, the Board looks to see what

talents they consider are necessary at that time to enhance the performance of the Board. I thank the hard-working members of the College Board. While Donna McMahon was granted a six-month sabbatical, Danielle Lyons ably took on the position of Deputy Chair. Members of the Board also were involved and chaired various sub-committees such as the Board Succession and Formation Committee, Board Building and Capital Committee, Policy Review Committee and the Foundation Committee (which is chaired by Paula Hoctor, a non-board member). These committees serve a vital role in the governance and life of Villanova College.

With the construction of the new building that borders Seventh Avenue and Main Avenue, the Chair of the Building and Capital Committee, Michael Schaumburg has been kept very busy with the challenges that occur in any major project. The school community owe Michael, along with Brent Woolgar, huge thanks for going beyond the call of duty.

Planning has begun on the next College Master Plan to take us through to 2024 and beyond. Rapid changes in the way education is presented to students requires a school to be flexible and able to be responsive to the

educational needs of the 21st century. The College Leadership Team is enthusiastically at the forefront of planning for the current and future educational and spiritual needs of the College.

The community spirit of Villanova College has once again shone through the year of 2019. The school’s deputy in Steve Bremner was given the task of making sure that Villanova Park rose from the ashes of 2017. Everyone who has visited Villanova Park must surely be impressed with the new grandstand and facilities. More is yet to be done.

So once again the year is almost at a close and the new crop of Villanovans has graduated from the College to make their mark on the world. The Augustinian Order, College Board, committees, teachers and staff, parents and caregivers have all contributed to what they are today and what they are to become.

The Board highly values the leadership of Mark Stower and Steve Bremner, especially during the period of Mark’s well-earned sabbatical in Term 3.

The Board looks with confidence to the future of the College and on their behalf, I wish all members of the Villanova community a safe and prosperous 2020.

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

On behalf of the Parents and Friends (P&F) executive, I want to acknowledge the support of the College, parents and the many volunteers and sponsors on achieving such a great year for the Villanova community. Being my first year as President, I have enjoyed learning how the College operates and the many moving parts that occur behind the scene to make it such a successful environment.

This year saw another fantastic International Carnival. Special thanks to Cameron Clelland and the many volunteers who cooked or baked, set up, donated, sponsored, ordered supplies, managed the finance and cleaned up. Everyone should be proud of the achievements to raise over $62,000 for the College.

To celebrate and acknowledge the important role our mums play in raising our young men, the P&F again hosted the Mothers’ Night event. The event saw over 360 ladies enjoy a great night on the Senior Terraces with the city lights as a back drop. To ensure the evening ran smoothly, an army of fathers waited on the ladies to ensure no glass went empty and no lady went hungry. Not even a mid-evening thunderstorm could dampen the event. The success of the evening was not possible

without the sponsors, caterers and volunteers. Over $5,500 was raised.

A major service that the P&F co-ordinates is the Second Hand Uniform Shop. This is such an important role and we thank Maree Erikson for her continued efforts. The service has raised close to $20,000 for the P&F.

There are numerous other events that the P&F co-ordinate or support, from year level functions to the Trivia Night. These all help raise funds for many facility improvements or resources for the College. This year the P&F was able to assist with the following:

· $80,000 contribution for the Tolle Lege Library refurbishment.

· $50,000 initial contribution towards air conditioning the Junior and Middle School classrooms.

· Joint purchase of a mobile freezer with the Music Supporters and Sports Club.

The P&F will work to identify key initiatives that will further improve the experience for all the boys in 2020 and beyond.

In addition to the fundraising events, the P&F committee worked with the College to invite keynote speakers to talk about relevant topics. We will look to expand our engagement with

the broader community by developing a full calendar of speakers and topics in readiness to share at the beginning of Term 1.

I am excited to confirm that the executive committee are all continuing in their roles in 2020. Should any family wish to support any of the events through planning and volunteering, either in person or through corporate sponsorship, please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or any of the executive committee.

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 6 COLLEGE
BOARD

CURRICULUM

The College will move to testing NAPLAN online in 2020 and therefore 2019 was the final time that students at Villanova completed the paper-based version. This will allow students abilities to be measured more accurately due to the tailored nature of the testing. Furthermore, it will also continue to support one of the College’s strategic intents of using data to better inform pedagogy

Throughout the year, there were many opportunities for students to encounter a range of experiences outside of the timetabled curriculum. These included:

Days of Excellence

Tournament of Minds

STEM club / activities

Education continues to be challenged by a number of significant issues. Ensuring that levels of numeracy and literacy are continuing to be improved is one of the highest priorities in schools today. Several articles published throughout the year highlighted Australia’s decreasing levels of literacy in particular and how the nation should respond. There is an associated desire that all students are achieving highly across the core subjects. The focus on STEM subjects over the past five to 10 years has been in response to falling interest and achievement in the areas of Science and Mathematics. The second major challenge is that it is important for schools to be working diligently to close the gap between those that excel in their studies and those who find school a challenge. Schools are regularly looking for opportunities and strategies to reduce this difference. Finally, preparing students for adult life is key to students’ success and can be achieved by instilling in them the importance of collaboration, creativity, digital literacy and communication.

The graduating Class of 2018 were rewarded with impressive results. Their application to their studies throughout the year was excellent, their QCS performance was very good and as a result we were able to celebrate with the students in February as we welcomed many of them back for the Scholar’s Assembly. College Dux and OP 1 recipient, Trent Foster, returned to address the assembly. Many immediately assume a school’s Dux would study law or medicine or engineering when they complete their Year 12 studies. Trent, however, reflecting on the significant influence his teachers had on him during his time at Villanova, spoke of his desire to pursue a teaching career. This was the ultimate compliment for the many dedicated teachers at the College. Along with Trent, 14 other Year 12 graduates chose to pursue teaching at university in 2019.

Mathematics competitions and challenges

QUT STEM Camp

Semester 2 commenced with the College’s Academic Assembly where students who had achieved highly in their studies in Semester 1 were acknowledged. To receive an excellence award for one’s studies, students needed to achieve a minimum all As but one in their core subjects. It was a pleasure to welcome so many students on stage who had achieved so highly. However, this year the College was also able to congratulate those students who did not achieve an excellence award but demonstrated exceptional diligence and work ethic.

2019 has seen the final year of the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) in its current format. From 2020, Queensland students will be awarded an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) rather than the Overall Position (OP) that has been given for the past. There are a number of changes that underpin this new system. Teaching and learning has become a highlight of the new syllabus documents written whilst the awarding of credit for units completed will be ongoing. Arguably the most significant change, however, is that assessment will be administered differently and less frequently. The focus has shifted from shorter units of work that often are not linked to students needing to retain more information and make links between units of work. This is a shift in mindset for schools across the state but one that will hopefully produce more capable students with the skills to be more successful in life after school. Thank you to the Curriculum Area Leaders and senior teachers who have engaged in the new processes required to implement this system.

As we wait for the first cohort to complete the new QCE, we look forward to the results of the 2019 Seniors. These young men acquitted

themselves well in the important Queensland Core Skills (QCS) test with 55% of our students receiving an A or B. I thank Ms Liana Baillie for co-ordinating the QCS program and the teachers who were involved in any of the preparation sessions. We look forward to learning of their final results in December. I also thank Mr Matt Lalor for his work as QCE Co-ordinator, and his monitoring of each Senior student.

The College has continued to look for areas where we can improve the educational outcomes of our students. The College’s Collaborative and Reflective Practices (CRP) program continues to encourage our teachers to work collaboratively on strategies and initiatives to improve teaching and learning. This year there have been great steps forward in focussing on the importance of feedback / feedforward to the students as well as preparing a number of our teachers for the journey that will be co-teaching over the coming years. This is exciting times for the College and I would like to thank Ms Kate Alexander for furthering the work of CRP at the College.

Another opportunity to celebrate the wonderful achievements of the students at the College was held in November. The Celebration of Excellence was an outstanding event that allowed the community to applaud the achievements of our students in curriculum, co-curricular and service pursuits. From an academic perspective, Gunit Singh was an outstanding recipient of the College Dux. His application to his studies was exceptional and his results mirrored this. Although there were many outstanding award winners on the night, what set Gunit apart from many of his peers was his willingness to work collaboratively with other students.

The staff are clearly the ‘backbone’ of the remarkable teaching that occurs on a day-today basis at the College. I thank the College’s Leadership Team for the focus they have on bettering Villanova College and ensuring that we produce well-rounded young men. Their support of teaching and learning is unwavering, and for this I am most grateful. It is important, though, to acknowledge the teachers at the College, whether they be in the Junior, Middle or Senior Schools. The many conversations I have had with parents with regards to their son’s journey at Villanova are regularly dominated by compliments and praise for our teachers. It is a privilege to be able to pass this on to teachers.

2020 will continue to present many opportunities, some existing and some new. I look forward again to being part of a community that continues to thrive and that offers a multitude of opportunities to our young men.

The seminal poem ‘Oh Me! Oh Life!’ by famous American poet Walt Whitman and immortalised in the film Dead Poet’s Society, finishes with the line ‘that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse’. What was the 2019 Senior School verse in the rich poem that is Villanova College? I can proudly say a quite remarkable one indeed. One of the virtues that has underpinned the narrative of this academic year has been that of passion. At the commencement of the year, College Captain Matthew Rolls articulated the Senior motto - ‘where passion lies, success follows’. This aspirational intention was embraced in all areas of College life - academics, culture and music, sport, and in service.

This year saw the end of one era and the dawn of a new one with our Year 12 students the last cohort to receive Overall Position (OP) scores and our Year 11 students embarking upon the new Queensland Certificate of Education. I would like to thank the Senior School teaching faculty for their outstanding energy and commitment in ensuring our preparedness in meeting this challenge.

The Celebration of Excellence evening at QPAC once again affirmed the importance of the pursuit of success in the classroom. The outstanding achievement of the following

The inspirational example of mentoring and servant leadership exhibited by this year’s College Dux, Gunit Singh demonstrated that one can still be an exceptional academic achiever yet gift their intellectual talents to the benefit of others, a practice that our future Seniors are encouraged to embrace in the new Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) system.

Across the cultural and music programs, there were several memorable moments. Musician of the Year, James Battersby and our talented Senior School musicians, ensured another gold rush at the Queensland Catholic Schools and Colleges Music Festival whilst the inaugural Arts in Action Week shone the spotlight on our Theatre Sports dramatists and artists at Villa Visions.

It was also a remarkable year for Villanova College sport, punctuated with the dual First Premiership and Aggregate Trophy in basketball and cricket as well as the Senior chess title. Sportsmen of the Year, Peter Klaassen and George Stokes both displayed great dedication, pride and commitment in all their sporting pursuits.

Saint Augustine states, ‘it is necessary for a person to let themselves be seized by the Word and change their life.’ The Word of Jesus expressed in the Gospels teaches us to love and be compassionate to those on the margins. The bi-annual AFAS immersion once again provided our young men with the opportunity to put faith into action.

The Senior Class of 2019 have left a lasting example of what it means to have pride

and passion for your College. Under the inspirational leadership of Villanovan of the Year and College Captain Matthew Rolls, College Vice-Captain William Barwick and Student Council President Nickolas Sofios, the Year 12 students led the College exceptionally well. The re-teaching of the College War Cry, the launch of the inaugural World’s Greatest Shave which raised $15 000 for the Leukemia Foundation, the establishment of a College recycling program and the introduction of Peer Mentoring into the Junior School are all significant legacies which will continue to enrich the College community.

I wish Max McCaul, Tadgh O’Neill and Murphy Woodger all the best in their leadership of the student body in 2020 and I am excited by their leadership vision for student wellbeing. 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 to - Mr Sean O’Neill, Mr Peter Meecham and Mr Tony Rolls – our Pastoral Area Leaders; Mrs Kath Underhill - Learning Enrichment Team Program Leader; Mrs Dianne Martin - Pathways Program Leader; Mr Adrian Hellwig - College Counsellor; Mr Tass Sakellariou and Dr Ashleigh Wright - College Psychologists and Mrs Joy Browning - the Student Services Officer. In particular, I would like to wish Mr Peter Meecham all the best as he takes a year of leave after many years of wonderful service in shaping the fine young men of this College.

Next year promises to be a very exciting year for the Senior School as the new building will offer dynamic teaching and learning spaces and exceptional facilities for our students. As always, I am humbled to have the opportunity to continue to serve the young men of the Senior School and look forward to the writing of another memorable verse in 2020.

COLLEGE CAPTAIN’S REPORT

MATTHEW ROLLS / 2019 COLLEGE CAPTAIN

years earlier. We spent the day introducing the newest Villanovans to their new College and what it means to belong at Villanova College. This bond continued with the commencement of the Peer Mentoring program and the reinvigoration of the Year 5 and 12 Breakfast, something we also experienced in Year 5.

“It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.” – St Augustine of Hippo

At the beginning of the year, the Seniors decided on a motto by which we would aspire to lead the College in 2019. We settled on, “Where passion lies, success follows” and promised one another, and the entire College, at the commissioning ceremony early in the year that we would live out this motto through our words and actions. I truly believe that through our passionate and spirited involvement in all aspects of College life we have succeeded in all we have strived for.

From the very first day, before we were even given our Senior ties, our bond with the youngest students at the College was fostered as we walked a fresh-faced group of Year 5 students through the same gates we had been walked through some eight

On the sporting field we played with passion, unity and the spirit of Villanova, with many a triumphant victory as ‘Villa’s on Fire’ – the unofficial anthem of the Nova Nation - bellowed out across Villanova Park and Goold Hall, sending a shiver down the spines of opposition schools even on their home turf. Our spirit and ‘Villa’s on Fire’ is something we hope is continued well into the future. I will never forget singing ‘Villa’s on Fire’ for the first time, watching 1st XI Cricket captain Matthew Short rip through Iona’s top order, taking a wicket the very delivery we started singing. This demonstrated to me the power of backing your mates and being proud of the crest on your chest.

Pride in our College and also the belief we had in our mates was epitomised during the ‘I Believe Round’, as we faced a formidable Marist College Ashgrove in rugby, football and chess. We pledged our support to our mates and made the opposition well aware of our strong beliefs, and it worked. The 1st XI football and chess teams came away with a victory and the 1st XV rugby team narrowly missed out. But the sheer belief and support of the masses of Villanova students at

Villanova Park was something I will always be proud to have been a part of. Another legacy left by the Senior class of 2019 is the reteaching of the Villanova War Cry, a tradition which we hope will be continued. It was fantastic to see all students embrace the challenge of relearning something that is so important at the College. I saw this as a fantastic way to bring the entire College closer together.

Ministry also brought the College closer together with each other and with the broader community. The AFAS Immersion was a fantastic success with many students returning with great stories. The World’s Greatest Shave, initiated by College Vice-Captain William Barwick, raised over $15,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation. Academically, the Celebration of Excellence shone a bright light on the College’s highest achievers, of which many Year 12s received an award at their last ever Celebration of Excellence.

All in all, 2019 was a year to be remembered, especially for the Senior class. We have been so fortunate to have had the support of our school mates, College staff, our families and the entire Villanova community. I, myself, am pleased to say I leave the College with no regrets and I encourage every student to make the most of their time at Villanova, because there will come a day, in the not so distant future, where you must say goodbye to the place that has meant so much.

YEAR 12 AWARDS OF DISTINCTION

VILLANOVAN

Throughout 2019, Matthew proved to be a wonderful embodiment of the balanced and holistic education offered at Villanova College. He worked diligently in the classroom, receiving an Endeavour Award in Semester 1 for his consistent application and effort directed towards his studies. Always punctual, courteous, and immaculately attired, he makes best use of each lesson, asking questions and bringing other students into a passionate and committed search for the truth.

Matthew’s commitment to the wider life of the College has been remarkable. He has made contributions to the football, basketball and athletics sporting programs. He has served as a Eucharistic minister and strongly supported the liturgical life of the College. As a member of the St Vincent de Paul Society he participated in the annual Sleepout and has shown through his ministry service his passion for social justice.

However, his most significant and outstanding contribution to the College this year has been in the area of Student Leadership and College Spirit. His project of reteaching the College War Cry has been a significant achievement and will be a lasting legacy. His passion for the ‘Three Vs’ is undeniable.

MUSICIAN PROXIME ACCESSIT DUX

Gunit joined the Villanova community in 2015 as a Year 8 student.

Gunit was not always the top of his subject or cohort, achieving Bs until the end of his Year 9 academic year. His graduation to the Senior School clearly moved him from a position that could have been very comfortable to achieving and maintaining one of academic excellence. Over the past three years he has given his studies his all, and there has been a constant improvement in academic achievement culminating in an almost perfect A+ grade point average. Always engaged and keen to contribute, he is one of those students who is essential to the dynamics of a class and will bring the best out in his peers. The amount of time and effort he spends helping his classmates in and out of class time, before exams and out of school is unparalleled – often he reteaches an entire term’s content. Gunit is admired greatly within the entire 2019 Senior cohort. Partly because of his outstanding attitude towards his studies, but also due to his high level of personal integrity and desire to present the best version of himself to his peers and staff. He has an enthusiasm for learning that knows no bounds. He is well respected by both staff and his peers, not only for his ability and commitment to achieve, but for his humour and humanity.

Thomas commenced his academic journey at the College in Year 5. From this early time, he achieved highly in all of his subjects, particularly doing well in Mathematics and Science. His Junior School teachers encouraged him to continue to look for opportunities to improve and it is clear that he adopted this, moving from a B grade point average to almost a perfect A+ grade point average in his current studies. An unassuming and modest young man, he has already been applauded for this work ethic and diligence by being awarded the dux of two subjects.

Peter is indeed a gifted athlete, representing Villanova at the AIC Track & Field Championships in high jump, sprints and relays. He made the Met East Track & Field team for high jump. He was an integral member of Villanova’s 1st XI premiership cricket team and inaugural 1st XVIII AFL Team. He played in the 1st XI Football Team for which he was appointed ViceCaptain and won the 2019 ‘Player’s Player’ award. He made the Composite Football Team and captained the Met East 1719 years Football Team at the State Championships. Peter was a member of the premiership winning 1st V Basketball Team.

George competed at the AIC Swimming Championships in the 4x50m relay and in Cross Country he ran the 6km event. He competed in the AIC Track & Field Championship in the 400m and 800m events.He was in the 2nd XI Cricket Team and the 1st XVIII AFL Team. He was Vice-Captain of the 1st XV Rugby Team where he was awarded the Best and Fairest. He captained the 1st XV Met East Rugby Team at the State Championships where he performed extremely well and made the Qld Schoolboys No 2 Rugby team. He played in the 1st XIII Rugby League Team and in the 3rd IV Tennis Team. George represented Villanova in nine AIC sporting events throughout the year.

As a proud and active member of the music community, James was involved in five ensembles through Senior School, including the music liturgy ensemble, a group of students who freely give their time to lead our community and the broader community in liturgy and prayer. He also volunteered and represented our College during QCMF.

James has represented Villanova College for several years through his involvement with the Young Conservatorium, and is a valued member of many ensembles, including the Symphony Orchestra, Wind Orchestra, and Jazz Ensembles.

Demonstrating a fine level of performance throughout his Villanova journey, he has represented his College in several State Honours Ensemble Programs; in 2018 he was successful in auditioning and earning a position in the Pacific Honours Ensemble Program, which entitled him to attend the Western International Band Clinic in Seattle during the final weeks of November.

James has recently completed his 7th Grade AMEB exam and has also auditioned for a position at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Griffith University. We wish him all the best for a successful outcome for both of these opportunities.

When Nickolas speaks people listen, such are his skills as a master orator. The contribution of the council to the College’s recycling program was significant and the re-emergence of the Year 5 and 12 Breakfast, as well as the Movie Night, were great achievements under Nic’s presidency. Nickolas is to be affirmed for his contribution to the academic, cultural and music life of the College. He has exemplified the Augustinian ideal of servant leadership.

William Barwick College Vice-Captain

William has represented the College with dedication and enthusiasm throughout 2019. Respectful and courteous, he has supported all in the College community.

His most significant leadership achievement was driving the College’s inaugural participation in the World’s Greatest Shave in which over $15,000 was raised for the Leukaemia Foundation. William has exemplified the College’s Augustinian values of service and community and responded to the challenge of leadership with humility, dedication and spirit.

Matt has been a leader for all within the College community. His leadership has encouraged others to walk beside him in friendship and solidarity.

STUDENT COUNCIL REPORT

NICKOLAS SOFIOS / 2019 STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT

The Council also sought to enrich the campus environment with various garden projects, including the refurbishment of the Food Studies Garden. A team of Senior representatives extended our environmental influence to the nearby St James Church over the Easter holidays, assisted by Mr Colin Grant in the restoration of the Church’s herb garden, which was established in conjunction with the Council several years ago.

provided by the tuckshop were a very popular dessert. Held towards the end of Term 2, the event was a fitting celebration of the Year 5 students’ first semester, and the Year 12 students’ last first semester at the College.

The Council also honoured tradition in issuing chocolate gold coins to teachers and students at the Feast of St Augustine, inspiring reflection on our inner treasures as an Augustinian community.

The Student Council of 2019 was defined by its passion for a more unified College, effective representation of all students, and servant leadership. Consisting of elected members from Year 7 to Year 12, guided by the Augustinian values of interiority, community, and the search for truth, the Council set out to convert ambition into action.

To improve the College environment, and to reward the community for its involvement in this effort, the Council teamed up with Mr John Holroyd and the St Vincent de Paul Society in purchasing bottle recycling bins and distributing them around the campus. Through the Queensland Government’s “Containers for Change” scheme, bottles and cans were refunded for 10 cents each, with proceeds going towards student and community initiatives. One notable purchase was that of 200 Villanova handballs, some of which were pledged as gifts to the Year 5 students of 2020, in the interests of building relationships which transcend the barriers of the College’s three schools.

In a proud continuation of tradition, the Council’s speakers were used throughout the year to host music on Fridays at second break, with music suggestions collected electronically. The speakers also emerged at the conclusion of Friday spirit rallies, where students from Year 5 to Year 12 gathered on the steps underneath the Veritas building for a chant prior to a weekend of sport.

2019 saw the Council’s inaugural “Food and Film Night” fundraiser, in which Villanova and Loreto’s Senior School students came together following an interschool volleyball competition for a sausage sizzle and a movie – selected by the students – in the Hanrahan Theatre. The event proved a promising platform for future VillanovaLoreto occasions, as attendees enjoyed the opportunity to engage with students from their sister school.

In addition, the Council of 2019 was responsible for the resurrection of the “Year 5 and 12 Breakfast”. Thanks to the service of enthusiastic Council representatives from various year levels, as well as staff volunteers, Ostia Square was filled with tables of Year 5 and 12 students sharing meals, drinks, stories and smiles in the spirit of Villanova brotherhood. Sweet muffins

Finally, at the annual Villa Visions art show in Term 4, the Student Council acquisition was Patrick Maione’s “Teammates”, which has been donated to the College for display. The Council’s achievements this year would not have been possible without the support of the Villanova community. In particular, I would like to thank facilitator Mr Tony Rolls, whose guidance proved instrumental in turning ideas into initiatives, and Mr Matthew Levander, for his work with the Council in Senior School projects. Furthermore, I would like to thank the Seniors of 2019, for their trust and encouragement in all Council endeavours.

To the members of the Council, thank you for your time and hard work in contributing your voices and driving our mission. I am very fortunate to have served the College alongside such dedicated, diligent young men – not least our Vice-President Nick Halvorson, Secretary Alex Wang and Treasurer Bradley Roulant. Under the leadership of President Murphy Woodger, I have no doubt that the Student Council of 2020 will continue to represent the students with pride, passion and commitment to a better Villanova.

EXCELLENCE AWARDS

SPEECH BY MATTHEW SHORT / 2019 ACADEMIC CAPTAIN / AT THE CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE

Good evening Father Jones, Father Wieneke, Mr Mark Stower, distinguished guests, families, and my fellow students. A great man and an excellent teacher, Mr Nick Simpson, could always be relied upon to veer off topic on a Friday afternoon Year 10 Maths Extension class. Amidst the surfing videos and poker lessons, I particularly remember the words of wisdom he gave us one day; “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything”. He emphasised the importance of character above all else. Likewise, Martin Luther King imparts that, “Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”. To me, this aligns perfectly with the idea of a Villanova man. One way we define this Villanova man is through our gateway values – search for truth, interiority, and community. Our search for truth connects strongly to our academic journey from Year 5 through to Year 12. It is fundamentally why we are here and is extremely important, hence we recognise the achievements of those who sit behind me. It is imperative that we develop growth mindsets and ‘learn how to learn’. In 10 years time, it is unlikely that I will be asked to recall

the 38th element of the periodic table, or Hamlet’s fatal flaw, but the ability to pick up new concepts, and the grit needed to reach our life goals, are skills that are essential to succeed in this ever changing world. Interiority. Often, we find this is the hardest value to define. To me it relates to our character. In knowing ourselves we must decide what we value and what is important to us. Of course, this will continue to develop and grow, because we, as people, will change dramatically as we mature. However, the important thing is that we stay true to the virtues we value in our decision making and in our actions. Currently, as young Villanova men, these values may include friendship, humility, service, honesty – the list continues. So let us try to be people of substance and character. I believe this is what Mr Simpson had meant by his advice.

Lastly, we have community. Although this seems like a common value, present in many places, there is something unique about the Villanova community. The number of Old Boys who stay involved in the College is a testament to how special it really is. Made up of students, families, staff, Old Boys and friends, our community is founded on a network of strong relationships that have a profound impact on us. Largely, it is built by parents and teachers who truly want only best for us.

We are very fortunate at Villanova to have staff who go above and beyond their job descriptions to support us. From our Year 5 to our Senior teachers, they have all played a significant role in our time here. They have inspired us, cared for us, laughed with us, sometimes even taught us, and for this we are very grateful. Possibly the only people who care more about us are our parents. From packing lunches to paying school fees, none of the opportunities we have in front of us today would be possible without their undying admiration and support. So let’s give our parents and teachers a huge round of applause.

Finally, there is another way to define a Villanova man. You just need to take a look at 120 blokes sitting up the back; they started some eight years ago as young boys and have transformed into a bunch of well-rounded young men; a product of the many opportunities offered throughout our veritas journey. I urge you to continue to take advantage of similar opportunities in the future and live a life rich in experiences and relationships. While we are all destined for new and exciting times ahead, I have one last thing to say and that is …let us always remain quality men of Villanova, because, “If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything”.

SENIOR SCHOOL EVENTS

VINCIT VERITAS / TRUTH CONQUERS 53

The Year 9s returned to Pindari Dam for their annual ‘out bush’ experience. More so than previous years, the buttress climb around the dam wall proved to be a significant challenge with the dam level reduced to an all-time low (for us), a devastating 6%. This made the climb more difficult than usual, but in true Villanova style, the boys rose to the challenge. They enjoyed their time away, and the challenges associated with having to cook and clean for themselves. It was a terrific week, which saw our Year 9s showing great maturity and solidarity and we’ll miss them as they move on to their Senior School journey.

2019 was another sensational year for our Middle School. In a year that saw us with the greatest number of students in our Middle School’s history (with a record eight streams in Year 7), our dedicated and undaunted staff continued to develop engaging and innovative programs.

Our teachers once again committed to reflecting on their teaching practice by engaging with our CRP (Collaborative and Reflective Practice) program. Under the expert facilitation of Ms Kate Alexander, our Middle School teachers discussed the latest literature and research whilst also sharing the teaching strategies they found most effective. I’m sure I join with you in thanking our teachers for this ongoing commitment to CRP and congratulating Kate on driving the program.

Our camp program, as always, saw the delivery of a diverse range of opportunities for our students. In February, our Year 7s travelled to Currimundi and enjoyed the chance to form new relationships with their peers and teachers. Our Year 8s were nearby at Dicky Beach and enjoyed new and improved activities, including negotiating the Sugar Bag mountain bike trails. Both camps caught the effects of Cyclone Oma with a number of days of beach closures, however spirits were never dampened as all students and staff thoroughly enjoyed their time away.

On behalf of the boys, I sincerely thank all staff for their contribution to our Middle School camp program. Without their attendance and support, these valuable experiences would not be possible. Our Middle School student leadership (consisting of eight House Vice-Captains) did the College proud. The young men displayed the type of servant leadership Villanova values, and upheld and modelled what it means to be a Villanova student. These leaders, elected by their peers, included: Jose Sibi, Cameron Wallis, Josh McDougall, Tom Price, Joe Wilson, Pat Grigson, Aston Gapes and Riley Richards. Well done gentlemen!

I extend a warm thanks to our Middle School Staff Middle Leaders, who again enacted their roles with great passion and diligence. Our curriculum leaders, Mr Shawn Creamer, Mrs Hannah Elder, Mrs Julie Colbert, Ms Christianne Kemp and Mrs Jo McConville ensured our programs were relevant, rigorous, and engaging for our boys. Ms Sally England and Mr Matt Conlan ensured our Learning Enhancement Team supported the needs of all our learners. Our Pastoral Area Leaders, Mr Ben Lynam, Mr Matt McGrath and Mr Peter Simpson, expertly supported by Mr Adrian Hellwig, Dr Ashleigh Wright, and Mr Tass Sakellariou, our College counselling team, again ensured

our boys had help at hand when needed and challenge when required. On behalf of all Middle School teachers and students, I thank these Middle Leaders for their contribution to another successful year.

As per usual thanks has to go to Mrs Vicki Lamb. As most parents have experienced at some point, Vicki continually goes beyond the call of duty to ensure the smooth day-today running of our Middle School.

This year was full of highlights! These included: (to name a few)

• a memorable Mission Day with our Year 7 multicultural stalls creating a true culinary adventure

• the inaugural Middle School Table Tennis Tournament, ultimately won by George Trigenis (Year 8) in an epic final vs Michael Gordon (Year 9)

• the multitude of sporting teams (and supporters) that turned up each weekend to represent the Green and Gold

• the Music ensembles that continued to entertain the crowds

• our Young Augustinian Youth Ministry group who tirelessly worked to raise money and awareness for those less fortunate than us

• our bigger than ever 3 Vs 3 Basketball Pastoral Competition, ultimately won by Mr Sullivan’s group

• the ongoing work of our STEM Club who investigated the impact of crows on our campus

• our 'Traction' boys building boom boxes and renovating bikes

• the large number of Middle School students recognised for their academic achievements at our Celebration of Excellence evening

Finally, I want to thank the parents. We are all on this journey together and together we’ve had a great year. Here’s to many more!

JUNIOR SCHOOL

ROUHLIADEFF / HEAD OF JUNIOR SCHOOL

2019 saw us rise to the beat of our own drums, achieving accolades across academic, co-curricular and spiritual avenues. With a cohort of Year 5 and 6 students ready to embrace opportunities, we have made the most of our learning using technological tools, research skills, differentiated learning experiences and rigorous assessment tasks. Never before have I seen such intensive programs available for young men who wish to ignite their intrinsic flame for excellence.

The ownership of learning is unique to every individual. Ready or not, the world is moving at a pace that is not to be easily defined. We are preparing students for employment opportunities that do not exist today. So how do we cater for that? By bringing the focus to 21st century skills –building the social and collaborative skills in our sons to negotiate, problem solve and be flexible in day to day situations. Modelling bravery in taking professional risk taking, our Junior School staff plan in year levels with Curriculum Area Leaders, and then in partnerships – utilising strengths and capacities for a broader, more wholistic range of gifts and talents. Our staff have their own passions, dreams and personalities that can be used to best draw

upon the curiosities and developmental needs of young men. These experienced educators are spending hours outside of school days working on professional excellence in reflection, relationships and real-world connection. They are sharing short and long term goals in teams, and identifying professional standards within the Australian Institute for Teaching and Leadership (AITSL). It is a deeper commitment to best practice – a journey individual to every professional and I am grateful for these staff members who read professional journals, record goals and plans, and discuss future initiatives in a forum that means their number one focus – your sons – are always their objective. I take this opportunity to acknowledge all teaching, specialist and office staff involved in the Collaborative and Reflective Practices program.

This year we saw the introduction of wellbeing into all Year 6 classes. An initiative in a Year 5 classroom in 2018, this year we provided 147 young men with precious time every week – to focus on themselves, to take a breath, and identify their emotional and social state. Our Year 6 students were reassured, valued and given opportunities to explore the Social and Emotional Framework elements – Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Management and Responsible Decision Making. We used the time together to give the boys the chance to focus on their mindsets – to allow them time to build trust in themselves and others. We helped share thoughts, reactions and interpretation of the world around them. What matters most? Relationships. Trust. Showing up. Listening. Changes being made that show adults are really taking notice when boys speak up. Actions. What a fascinating program we are building in the Junior School – and the impact it has on these students is crystal

clear – it has become one of their most treasured times of the week. A program for young men, built with the people it is meant to help most.

Our collaborative and dynamic learning spaces continue to be shaped and developed. Catering for individuals, designed to provide comfort and inspire open-ended learning – the boundaries are only what a boy does not dare to dream. We are finalising our preparations for the new 2020 Junior School Precinct – spaces that flow, change and are specifically arranged to foster men who can learn to make good choices for themselves – people who can orientate themselves based on daily needs and the capacity to reach their potentials given the platform. Our students need clever directions to find their capacity to achieve. Furniture that is comfortable, choices that mean they engage to their true capacity. They need tools and strategies that they can apply in classes, team sports, on stages performing and in social settings. I am thrilled to be a part of this upcoming shift – and the planning to date has required so much patience, persistence and positivity of our staff, parents and boys. How grateful I am for the community who has vision for the next generation to achieve far more than we ever did in a primary school setting. It is the relationships between staff, students and parents that build a community who values truth and interiority. This year has proven to be one of great growth in the way we connect with our Junior School students, and value their learning process. We are putting their needs and interests within the National Curriculum and using physical spaces to manifest the skills desirable for personal and social development. How exciting to be a part of changes that will mean the best versions of young men will be around us in years to come.

MUSIC

Symphonic Band both provided musical interludes for our College Open Day activities during Week 7. This was a busy period for our musicians as this coincided with the debut concert series; however, we were appreciative of the students’ efforts in presenting to prospective families the standard and ability of our music program. Such opportunities are vital in sharing the work of our students and staff with the broader community.

The year commenced with the return of our combined Villanova and Loreto College Music Camp at QCCC Mapleton. Over 180 students and staff made the journey up the mountain at the end of our first week of school and engaged in a weekend of workshops and rehearsals to ensure our year commenced with gusto. Our musicians had the wonderful opportunity of working with well-known educators and musicians, including Astrid Jorgensen (Pub Choir fame), Dr Ralph Hultgren AM (international clinician and composer), Dave Maddick (well-known string educator), and Dr Paul Svoboda (guitar extraordinaire). As per tradition, our camp concluded with a concert in the Hanrahan Theatre where our students were given rapturous applause from the gathered masses.

With every new year, we welcome a new cohort into our Year 5 Immersion Music Program. In 2019 we indoctrinated 158 new students into the wonders of the Instrumental Music Department. During Week 5 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. The students produced some of the best beginner concert performances I have experienced in my time as a music educator; everyone involved is to be congratulated for their efforts!

We rounded out Term 1 with our Debut Concerts, a change in schedule to previous years. The earlier time did require a more focused approach in rehearsals by our students; however, I was relatively pleased with the standard produced after five to six rehearsals for each ensemble. We will continue with our concert series early in the year due to the changes in Senior studies and the need for our ensembles to adjust for the commencement of Term 4 from 2020 onward.

Our String Sinfonia Orchestra and

We moved into Term 2 with the collection and completion of our first Instrumental Music assessment task for the year. The Villanova College Music Department is leading Catholic schools in our state in the roll-out of the Education Queensland Instrumental Music Curriculum. Students who participate in our program will have the opportunity to receive QCE credit points toward their Senior Certificate if they acquit levels 7 and above in their Senior years. Part of this process is the assessment of student work against the curriculum standards; these will then be moderated across the state for verification purposes. This is an exciting and new development for our students and staff which I am certain will allow for greater transparency in the teaching and learning process, and greater opportunity for discussion around how we may support students in our program.

Senior string students had the opportunity to participate in the Upper-Intermediate String Festival at Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) during May. The students attended two rehearsals over a period of five days outside school hours, with a Concert convened in BGS Hall on Thursday May 23. Both the students and Ms Bastos are to be commended for their efforts in acquitting a standard suitable to be invited to this opportunity. They are also to be commended for the manner in which they represented their families, themselves, and the College.

In another change to routine, we convened our Wieneke Bursary heats and finals during Weeks 5 and 6 of Term 2. This year’s competition was very well subscribed with over 50 students nominating and participating in the heats stage. The standard of performance was very high and I was very pleased with the musical development that I witnessed through this stage of the event. The decision-making process to determine those moving through to the finals was very challenging this year!

The finals of the Wieneke Bursary competition were adjudicated by Mr Kane McNally, Music Co-ordinator at St Patrick’s College, Shorncliffe. Under the bright lights

of the Hanrahan Theatre stage, our finalists shared their music with an enthusiastic audience and all were suitably recognised for the standard of performance produced. Whilst I would like to recognise the efforts and courage of all students involved, special recognition must go to our Wieneke Bursary Champions for 2019: Junior School – Martin Beltran-Mahoney (Violin); Middle School –Lachlan Beake (Guitar); Senior School – Nic Chay (Alto Saxophone). Congratulations to all students, their families, and their teachers.

During the first week of June, the Villanova College Music Department had the opportunity of hosting Professor Annette-Barbara Vogel, string pedagogue and performer currently from Toronto, Canada. Professor Vogel spent the week workshopping with various Catholic schools around Brisbane, as well as working with ensembles of Villanova College. It was a great opportunity for our students and one that was very well received by those involved. The final day of Professor Vogel’s stay with us culminated in a combined strings concert where students from St Laurence’s College and Villanova College accompanied Professor Vogel in a number of pieces prepared over the week. We also had the wonderful opportunity of witnessing a performance by some of Brisbane’s finest chamber musicians – a great chance for our students to hear great music performed well in their own space.

The focus for the remainder of Term 2 moved to preparations for the Sydney tour to the Australian International Music Festival. The tour party, an ensemble of 50 students with the assistance of three staff, had been rehearsing from the commencement of 2019; however, rehearsals ramped up in the final three weeks of term. The students acquitted themselves extremely well through this busy period and were very engaged in ensuring both individuals and the group bought in to the preparation process. The first week of school holidays culminated with a concert for families before preparing to depart. Upon the conclusion of this performance, I was confident our students (aged from Year 6 to 12) would do a fine job whilst away.

The Villanova College Conkestra had quite an experience whilst in Sydney. From performing in some first-class performance venues, including the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House, through to cultural exchanges with the Wind Symphony from Seri Puteri – a Muslim religious girls' middle school from Malaysia, our students grew as people and together as a group. Supported by travelling parents wherever

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 86

we performed, the students were great ambassadors for our College and their families and are to be congratulated!

Term 3 arrived with the annual Brisbane Girls’ Grammar School Workshops during Week 2. As always, it is a great opportunity for our students to meet other student musicians of the same age with similar interests and allows them to build links with the musical community external to our College.

Week 3 led to the inaugural Chamber Ensemble evening, the second item of assessment for the new curriculum. Convened on one evening across two performance spaces, this event was an opportunity for our students to refine their ensemble musicianship and share selfdirected work they had been completing over the previous 10 to 12 weeks. The evening commenced with a performance from Brisbane Brass where students were treated to some fine music presented by this premiere ensemble. We look forward to a revised schedule in 2020 and perhaps a more intimate setting for some of our student ensembles.

August arrived and with it the 29th annual Queensland Catholic Schools’ and Colleges’ Music Festival (QCMF). Villanova College welcomed over 15,000 students from across Queensland and Australia to celebrate music and music education across four days from August16 to 19. This year I took more time to listen to ensemble performances and speak with visiting educators. I am very pleased to say that the standard of performance demonstrated across our programs has improved; I am very proud to say that our festival has played some role in this development. In 2020 we will welcome our friends and festival family back again to celebrate the 30th anniversary of QCMF. It is an incredible legacy created by Keith Druery and a motivated parent group all that time ago – long may it live!

We concluded Term 3's activities with the Junior String Festival at Brisbane Girls’

Grammar School during Week 8. Two afternoons of rehearsal with students from BGGS, Brisbane Grammar, and Villanova College led to a wonderful concert on the evening of Tuesday September 3. Convened in the music auditorium of BGGS, our students shared their efforts with a full-house of parents and were suitably acclaimed. Whilst these opportunities do add to our calendar and time outside school, they are also very enriching in terms of relationship development: between schools, across staff, and of course across students. Possibly the most edifying element of these events is the barbecue on the final day pre-concert. It is here that we witness the extra musical benefits of participating in such activities: staff gather to discuss pedagogy and performance; students engage in games of handball and friendly discussion; and parents meet and share a sausage sizzle, defragmenting after another busy day. We look forward to sharing this opportunity again in 2020. 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 and choir – all 130 students – in ‘Halleluiah’ arranged by Mr Wayne Brennan. The visual impact of seeing students from Year 5 to 12 together, at the same time, performing as one community was fantastic!

The Villanova College Big Band continued the frenetic pace into Term 4, representing the school with our Irish Ensemble 1 at the Loreto College Live and Wired festival. Against the conditions, our students acquitted themselves very well and received much positive feedback. The Big Band also represented the College at the Prestige Music Festival where they received a Silver Award for their efforts.

The third annual Celebration of Excellence

was convened in the Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Complex on Monday October 28. A number of ensembles performed in the foyer of QPAC prior to the event: congratulations to Guitar Ensemble 1, Chamber Brass, and the Junior Clarinet and Saxophone Ensembles. I would also like to recognise the performances of our Symphonic Band (accompanying Tim Nielsen), Sinfonia String Orchestra, Big Band, and Irish Ensemble 1 during the event. The feedback regarding the quality of performance was remarkable and our students are to be commended for their efforts and work across the year. Our Senior students were farewelled in fitting style with our annual Senior Musicians’ Dinner at the Camp Hill Bowls Club. Both our Irish Ensembles shared 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 succumbed to Mrs Sleep’s Christmas cheer and celebrated our 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!

SYDNEY MUSIC TOUR

Over the June and July holidays, myself and a wide range of Villanova musicians from Year 6 to 12 travelled to Sydney for the 2019 Australian International Music Festival. We toured two ensembles consisting of the Villanova Conkestra and Percussion Ensemble 1. Over the first few days upon our arrival there was no time to lose, with constant sight-seeing and our many performances including the Sydney Opera House, the Maritime Museum and Chatswood Concourse. Over the week I had the chance to meet and make more friends from a range of grades below and above. I also had time to get to know the many staff who took a week out of their holiday to join the trip. This tour gave me an insight into other ensembles that travelled from all over the world. Conkestra particularly enjoyed the opportunity to work with students from Seri Puteri, a Muslim girls’ school from Malaysia. We had an opportunity to work with other conductors and adjudicators who helped us with some last-minute tips. This resulted in both groups walking away with a silver award for our adjudicated performances. Overall, this trip is an experience I am never going to forget and I am thankful for those I got to meet and reconnect with. I would certainly be happy to do it again!

CREATIVE ARTS

to take part in this experience with local centenarians and student artists being paired up geographically. Following the initial introduction, the student artist visited their partnered centenarian multiple times to make sketches and take photos and then, the design work took place around valued conversation. Year 12 Visual Art students, Sam Behm and Lucas Boylan took part in this process and produced two beautiful portraits that went on display at the Centenarian Exhibition in August but more importantly, created memories and friendships that will forever be treasured.

From social media platforms to high-tech music festivals, interactive art exhibitions and cinematic theatre performances, the Arts play a powerful influence in our everyday lives. As Arts educators, the future-proofing of our students to be critical thinkers, innovators and expert communicators are skills, if not superpowers, that will ensure success in the future.

With this in mind, the introduction of ATAR Music, Visual Art, Drama and Extension Music courses into Year 11 this year have presented considerable challenges for our teachers. New resources had to be sourced, lesson plans designed, and assessment and external exam processes implemented. With tenacity and determination, the Creative Arts teachers and students rose to the occassion and quickly adjusted to the rigor of the new courses. In addition, the Creative Arts were involved in numerous events in the College calendar.

Visual Art

The Centenarian Portrait Project by Teenagers is a community project that promotes friendships between our elderly senior citizens and school students. Schools were offered the opportunity

The Year 11 ATAR Visual Arts course required students to take part in an immersive environmental experience. On a beautiful sunny day, the boys trekked from the Howard Smith Wharves along the Riverwalk under the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and then onto New Farm Park to reflect on their own experiences as an artist and an audience. The excursion was designed as stimulus for the first piece of Year 12 assessment, Investigation – Inquiry Phase 1.

Villa Visions is Villanova’s prestigious Art Show and it annually takes over Goold Hall in October. Students across all year levels exhibited over 300 works of art. This year, our guest speaker was Old Boy, Mr James Quinn Hawtin, founder of Dance Culture at Annerley who spoke about having a creative mindset. With over 250 friends and family attending, the night was a testimony to the diverse talents of our Visual Arts students. Thank you to the Visual Art teachers, Mr Jason Lane, Mrs Vanessa Briggs, Ms Sandy Elliott and Mr Roland Camilleri who nurture the love of artistry in their students.

adaptation of the commissioned script called The Shot written by playwright, Angela Betzien. The story is set on a plane, destination unknown, where a photojournalist is travelling to accept a prestigious award. Students had the opportunity to participate in workshops run by professional actors and then perform their interpretation of the script at the Bille Brown Theatre. Frazer Maloney played the main role of PJ and stand-out powerful performances by Dominic Rolls and Harrison Egart were highly commended by the staff at QTC. Performing in front of a live audience, especially that of your own peers, can be daunting but our team lifted the performance intensity to new heights and received a lot of positive feedback, especially from the girls in the audience. A very important element in our Drama curriculum is to immerse our students in the experience of watching live theatre. This year we invited Shake & Stir to perform, Chapter 3 for the Year 5 cohort, and The Boy, The Bear, The Baron and The Bard for the Year 6s. Shock Therapy Productions’, The Apology also kept the Year 9 Drama class glued to their seats in the Hanrahan Theatre. Senior School Drama students travelled to QPAC to see Death of A Salesman and to the QTC’s Bille Brown Theatre to see City of Gold and Antigone. The highlight of the year was definitely a trip to the Lyric Theatre for Music and Drama students to pump up the volume at School of Rock. Given the plethora of theatre styles and skills that these performances bring to the lives or our students, and the enjoyment they express whilst viewing them, we are indeed enriching their lives and this is a privilege to cherish.

The Queensland Youth Theatresports competition continues to grow under the experienced eye of Mrs Sophie Kenny. A dedicated group of students across the

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 98

Middle and Senior Schools signed up to take part in the competition this year. Our Junior Theatresports Team consisting of Matthew Beames, Oliver Broten, Declan Curtis and Flynn Curtis made it to the finals in October at La Boite Theatre. The competition was fierce and although our team didn’t win, they put up a gallant fight.

The Senior Drama play is always a highlight of the year. Our students once again worked with resident playwright, Nathan Sibthorpe and cinematic specialist, Nevin Howell from Markwell Presents to produce Stocktake, a play which gives some insight into what goes on in a supermarket late at night behind closed doors. Standout performers were James Battersby as Julian, the naïve assistant store manager and employee of the month, Liam, played by Thomas Buckley-Sammut. Family, friends, staff and Old Boys packed the Hanrahan Theatre to marvel at the scope of skills exhibited on stage. A special thank you to Year 12 student, Jack Daly who gave up many hours after school to operate the lighting and sound consoles. I reiterate the extraordinary effort that Mrs Sophie Kenny dedicates to her students in the Drama department!

Music

Not a day goes by without feeling the Augustinian spirit emanate from the Music classroom. The vibrance and energy students experience here on a daily basis is uplifting. Noise is not always appreciated, but in this space, the louder the better. The choices of learning experiences and resources are constantly critiqued by Mrs Justine Silk and Ms Katie Dauth-Sousa who are both talented musicians.

What I love about the Music classrooms is that they are places where collaboration is key and learning through practise is paramount. Examples of excellence this year were found in Charlie Farmer, Cooper

McCormack and Taj Blackshaw in Year 5 who used their literacy skills to write standout responding tasks in class. In Year 6, Dylan Fryga and Connor Nicholls must be congratulated for their enormous thought and effort in assessing how music makes us feel. Liam Martin produced an outstanding solo performance piece and who can forget 6 Blue’s singing and dance performance on Assembly of Sesere-Eey? In Year 7, Daniel Egert and Ronan Flaherty never missed a beat and worked consistently throughout the year in order to achieve the best grade possible. In Year 9, Lachlan Beake produced a magical performance on the guitar and David Cassanti achieved excellence in both composition and performance.

Maxwell Shearer (Year 10) and Oliver Timms (Year 11) are quiet achievers and have gone above and beyond to seek help. They worked extremely hard and as a result, improved significantly, particularly in the areas of composition and musicology.

I congratulate James Battersby and Matthew Conway in Year 12 for their university offers to the Conservatorium of Music. The Music Extension course provides students who excel in composition and performance skill the opportunity to work closely with our Director of Music, Mr Michael Jones in perfecting their work in a professional environment. Thanks to Mr Jones for mentoring these fine young musicians who live and breathe music.

Arts in Action Week

Arts in Action Week, in October, showcased the skills of the creative and talented students that we have here at Villanova. Our instrumental music students, audio engineering, and art and drama students demonstrated their skills at morning tea and lunch times performances.

We also invited an artist in residence,

Mr Brad Hill, a sculptor who works with different types of metal to join us on campus for the week. Inspired by the designs of Dylan Bouwhuis in Year 10, Mr Hill’s brief was to work with students to create an eagle and her nest. The mother eagle represents the Senior cohort protecting the Junior students with the nest being the school campus. Thank you to Ms Sandy Elliott for organising and overseeing this very special project.

Next year will see the introduction of a new curriculum area under the Creative Arts banner. Media Arts will be introduced as an elective in Year 9 and 10 with the possibility of carrying through to senior studies in Film, Television and New Media. This is the study of how the media influences our daily lives and students will engage in making media products that create messages with meaning.

The cast has been chosen and rehearsals have started for next year’s Loreto/Villanova production of the musical, Mary Poppins. Congratulations to Jacob Keay who will play the lead role of Bert, Eamonn Donovan as Michael Banks and Dylan Crouch as George Banks. We look forward to experiencing the energy and excitement (mixed with a spoon full of sugar) of our talented singers, actors and dancers taking to the stage in February. As the incoming curriculum area leader this year, and with the implementation of ATAR and the expansion of the department, it has certainly been a very challenging 12 months. I feel privileged to have in my team some of the most dedicated and generous teachers in the business. Finally, I acknowledge Mr Robert Stewart and Mr Neil Roche-Kelly who came on board this year to work alongside Mrs Justine Silk. As highly experienced and respected mentors in the world of music, they added enormous expertise to our department.

VINCIT VERITAS / TRUTH CONQUERS 99

For St Augustine, the goal of the practise of liturgy is caritas, a Latin word that means ‘love’. He never tires of telling us that liturgy and life must be connected: we must sing psalms not only with our lips but also and above all with our hearts and lives. Liturgy not only expresses our love of God but is to strengthen us in our love of all God’s sons and daughters. This belief is reflected in the words with which we are sent from Mass into the world, “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.”

And so, the weekday morning Masses at Villanova often end with the question to those assembled, “What examples of loving behaviour would reflect the message we heard in the readings today?” The question asks, “give an example of a behaviour which would indicate you have learned more about love by being here at Mass?”

Two school groups have demonstrated they know what love looks like in action. Both the Year 12 students who served as communion ministers and the members of the Liturgy Band have been faithful and dedicated to the practical actions needed to achieve the caritas that supports liturgy. What does love look like? It looks like giving up your meal breaks to practise in the Band or leaving your mates in the playground to be at Mass as a communion minister.

MR JOHN

/ DEAN OF MISSION AND IDENTITY

Do think that they alone are poor whom we call poor, who lack food or clothing; is this one not poorer who lacks faith, wisdom, judgement, light, reason, understanding? St

The impact of Ministry at Villanova continues to grow. One reason for this is that the ministry students, enthusiastically led in 2019 by Reece Jansen, live out the importance of being a community that serves others. One of the most frequently recited prayers at the College is that of St Teresa of Avila: “Christ has no body now on Earth but ours”. In other words – as Pope Francis puts it – if the rich won’t help the poor, “then you and I must.” Going even further, the help must come from a heart that brings love. There are no fundraisers in the Gospel, but there is a miracle of multiplication through sharing. This is what occurred on several occasions in 2019: miracles of collective commitment.

Mission Day

As with Augustinian colleges and universities around the world, Mission Day, and Week, brings the College together in a series of events and activities which unite the community “in one heart and mind” in support of our sister schools and communities in the Philippines. The insight which made Mission Day 2019 a great success was to write solidarity into every element of the day.

Making this decision was a hard sell. How could we make enough money for 17 scholarships and various amenity projects if we did not serve fast food? By gently urging the boys to let go of the consumer role, as Pope Francis does in Laudato si, they were actually freed up to be creative and active participants.

What emerged in the place of the missing donuts? Most importantly, the boys themselves created a wonderful and diverse 'Eat Street' of home-cooked food, representing the different cultures mingling together at the College. From Iraqi dolma,

to Chinese dumplings (both cooked by our international students); from Filipino “lechon” (whole roast pork) to lamingtons and pretzels, the senses were swarmed with an array of foods prepared with love and commitment. Harmony requires difference, as St John Henry Newman observes. Different year levels took on different areas of responsibility. While Year 7 over-achieved with the international food festival, Year 10 provided the Aussie food and the major stalls and activities. One consequence was new or restored events, for example with the return of the 500m rowing challenge – taken out by First XV prop Dante Santos in the phenomenal time of 1:29. The AFAS students set up 'Filipino World', which drew in the crowds, with the roasting pig, the 'Jeepney' bus and the 'Sari sari' (general purpose stalls) creating a miniature – and educativeversion of Filipino culture.

At the end of the day nearly $12,000 was raised. What was just as satisfying though, was the sense that the whole College community engaged in heart and mind in acts of solidarity, fun, and service. Special thanks are owed to the planning team: Mr Alex Sullivan, Ms Amanda Waterson, Ms Julie Colbert, Ms Melissa Wilson and Mr Matt Wilson. Meanwhile, Ms Juanita Jacobs and Fr Saldie Resolado OSA led the AFAS students in ensuring that the whole College community could taste, see and learn about the direct impact of AFAS.

World’s Greatest Shave

Fundraising does have a place when students are united in a common cause of their own discernment. Under College ViceCaptain Will Barwick’s inspiring leadership, $15,000 was raised for the Leukaemia Foundation as part of 'The World’s Greatest Shave'. Several Year 12 students turned “dodgy haircuts into even more dodgy haircuts,” as Mr Peter Meecham put it.

Stewardship

To change the culture of a school is difficult, however the Senior Leaders of the St Vincent de Paul (SVP) group, in tandem with the Student Council, decided that 2019 was the year to begin our own war on waste. The first target was to collect and cash in all the plastic bottles and cans which are now refundable. The sustained progress in this area owes in large part to the leadership of SVP by Bradley Roulant and Alex Wang. To promote recycling required a major effort of communication (persuasion) and organisation. The large wire bin for refundable items has been filled four times, with money spent so far on communitybuilding items such as Villanova teddy bears

and hand-balls.

Our cleaners (Quayclean), led by Erika Brown, exerted a passion for Villanova and the environment to make sure that the scheme worked. Noble mention must also go to the Ministry students, led by Campus Minister, Fr Saldie Resolado OSA. The Ministry students provide a prophetic service, being the change they wish to see on campus. Special events like “plogging” – a litter picking and jogging race – and clearing up Norman Creek served to accelerate cultural change, one boy at a time.

The Norman Creek team, led by Mr Col Grant and College Chaplain, Fr Peter Wieneke OSA, have quietly and persistently built a team of students, and parents, who go and pick up the plastic waste that flows down the creek towards the ocean. Because turtles ingest the polystyrene, and other species try to eat brightly coloured plastic things, this team are saving the lives of creatures directly affected by what Coorparoo people choose to do – and not do. Expect to see an environmental group next year.

Winter Appeal and Sleep-out

First in the Ministry calendar again was a winter sleep-out. Thirty brave staff and students slept on the Quadrangle under the stars, after visiting St Vincent de Paul (HQ and Peel Street hostel) and Blind Eye dropin centre in order to hand over the huge quantity of donated blankets, tinned foods, hygiene and dignity products, and clothes. I believe that the experience of visiting partner organisations, then sitting around the fire, before sleeping on concrete makes for a memorable classroom.

It is also noteworthy that three follow-up convoys were needed to deliver all the goods donated by the Villanova community.

Ministry through Liturgy

Ministry in active service is linked to the true source of motivation and nourishment. Under the gentle, generous and persistent stewardship of Fr Saldie Resolado OSA and Music Director, Mr Michael Jones, the teams of Eucharistic Ministers and Liturgy Band have had a significant impact in 2019. The stand-out initiative has been the creation of the Cor Unum Choir. Spirit leaders from Year 9 to 12 join a specially selected Year 6 class in leading the singing for each College Mass. The effect has been stirring. New songs have lent vivacity to the repertoire, such as Shine Jesus Shine. Favourites like Ancient Words lift the roof off Goold Hall. Many young people at the College are now having a shared experience of liturgy which they are engaged by.

MINISTRY

YAYM: Middle School Ministries

YAYM had a stellar year. Bolstered by a large group of Year 9 students who call themselves the Sausage Sizzle Party, YAYM have run a series of events to bring life and colour to the quadrangle, at the same time as offering support for local outreach communities. Both the cause and the method have been aligned. Highlight moments include anti-bullying day, the Cancer Council yellow day – spearheaded by Year 7 student Charlie Berridge, and the mother of all sausage sizzles for Blind Eye, in which more than $1000 was raised. $1000 is the cost of Opening Blind Eye for a day, a day of direct service and support to approximately 50 homeless people. A lasting achievement of the 2019 YAYM group is to have added a partnership with Blind Eye to the friendship with the residents of Duhig Village. In each case, the boys are privileged to meet, and make friends with the people to whom they have the generosity to reach out.

You could use up the whole Ministry Report on YAYM because of the sheer quantity and quality of the events they have delivered. One key to a successful year lies in the teamwork of leaders Xavier Simondson, Jose Sibi, and Zac Child (Year 9). They united a planning team (Caleb Rogers, William Gyte of Year 9; Joshua Reid, Ryan Hegerty, and Tom Huey of Year 8) with the active events team, led with great spirit by Tom Price and Jack Stone (Year 9).

Ministry Gala Night and Conclusion

The Gala Night for Ministry students of Villanova and Loreto provided a fitting exclamation mark to the year. A pop-up restaurant was set up in Loreto’s Cruci Building, with a magnificent menu laid on by Christalla from Camp Hill IGA. All the Ministry students from Loreto and Villanova were feted, whilst listening to insights from partner organisations about how to get involved next year. Eddie Murray, manager of Blind Eye, spoke beautifully. Young

AFAS

people in Ministry bring the community of love from their family to people who most need an overspill of love.

The final thank you should go to the many students and staff members whose passion for Ministry ensured a successful 2019. Year 12s Oliver Bernal and Andrew Worthington were the YCS leaders represented. Along with Jack Dommett, and staff member Ms Sophie Kenny, they re-launched YCS in 2019 with a renewed focus on mental health.

Mr Pat Atkinson and Ms Amanda Waterson co-ordinated the Rosies van training and outings, with Ben McGregor as the student leader.

Mrs Mylan Warren, Ms Katie Dauth-Sousa and Ms Sally Byron (St Vincent de Paul), Mrs Kath Underhill (YAYM), and all the Senior School Learning Enrichment Team (Mrs Jo Kieseker, Mrs Helen Palmer, Ms Ellen King, and Mr Ben Stuart) provided wonderful support and service.

AFAS IMMERSION

On the 2019 AFAS Exchange I truly believe that we received more than we gave. It was an amazing new experience that taught me a lot about the importance of family and relationships, and we certainly built many relationships in the short time we were over there. The wonderful people we met were so welcoming and kind-hearted, despite the unfortunate situations and living conditions that some of them faced each day. Their positive outlook on life was simply inspiring. Although at times what we saw was very sad, we were able to see the large impact of our small actions. Pictures and stories cannot properly capture the power of this trip, so I strongly recommend students make the most of this opportunity; one that I hold as one of my most valuable experiences with the College. The memories and friendships made will stick with me for a long time.

Words cannot truly describe the 2019 AFAS Exchange. I could never have imagined the profound effect that this trip would have upon myself and the rest of the boys who had the opportunity to be involved. This has by far been one of my most memorable aspects of my Villanova journey thus far. The friendships made, the connections, the smiles, the interactions; will never be forgotten. From every place we visited, from the schools: La Consolacion Academy and College, Divino Amore, Colegio San Agustin, to the outreach centres, the sight of the green and gold AFAS cap will always bring a smile and great excitement, a testament to the legacy created by the previous exchanges for the past 27 years. In our two weeks, we have made memories that I will cherish forever, and made a contribution that no matter how small will make a difference in both their lives and our own. I am honoured and proud to be a part of this trip, and I would greatly encourage any Villanova boy to grab this opportunity with both hands and cherish every last second.

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 106

Oh my goodness, where do I start? I am not sure that anything I can write will come close to conveying the myriad of emotions that I felt in what I can only describe as one of the most rewarding experiences of my life to date (apart from having my son that is!). The 2019 AFAS Experience was something I will never forget with the added bonus of having forged special bonds with my travelling companions. Whilst the very visible poverty all around us on our journey was confronting at times, I do feel so privileged and humbled to have witnessed in person the extraordinary joy and happiness that the fundraising efforts of the Villanova community brings to the communities in the Philippines. The extraordinarily special bonds that are formed with the communities we visit is also something that I will cherish and never forget. I think the quote from St Augustine says it all, “There is no better proof of friendship than to help our friends with their burden”. Part of me was left behind in the Philippines and I look forward to hopefully picking up where we left off in 2021.

The 2019 AFAS Immersion was by far one of the most rewarding, yet eye-opening experiences in my life thus far. Although there are so many stories to tell, I would like to leave you with one important idea that I learned. Some of the people that we met did not have the equivalent to one dollar to their name, yet still were the most happy, welcoming and generous people that I have ever met. Finally, I would like to say thank you to the Villanova community, including staff, for their generosity with their time and fundraising efforts over the past two years to make the AFAS trip such a success.

The AFAS Philippines Exchange has been the most unique and eye-opening experience that I have been lucky enough to participate in at Villanova. Coming back, the main thing I am amazed about and did not expect going in was the strength of the friendships we all made in the space of a few days with people with a different lifestyle and culture. Although Filipinos for the most part live far less privileged lives, their lives are also much simpler and always seemed to be full of joy. I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone in an environment that I always felt was full of positivity, friendship and support, both in terms of the AFAS members around me but also the Filipino communities.

A definite highlight was our night at the children’s feeding program at the Basilica – our first interaction with younger children. The energy and pure happiness in the room was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Equally, playing sport at most of the communities was a clear mutual interest from both sides, which made for a good-spirited, competitive and extremely fun bonding experience for us and I’m sure the Filipinos too. Personally, the hardest part was having to say goodbye to my chaperones at both La Consolacion Academy and College and Colegio San Agustin, however not all is lost as I have since connected with both through social media! Also, I found it increasingly difficult to continually accept all the incredible feasts that every community put on for us as if we were some kind of royalty, even though we all knew where the food really should be going.

The main thing I’ve taken from this exchange is to always value the simple things in life, especially relationships with family and friends. It is a privilege to be a part of the 2019 AFAS family, the experience has exceeded all expectations, and I truly hope I am able to revisit my AFAS friends in Cebu, Murcia and Bacolod sometime in the near future.

CHICAGO EXCHANGE

The 2019 Chicago Exchange was an unforgettable experience for the 10 young men and two teachers involved. The Exchange kicked off with a bang in late March with five Villanovans flying to Chicago to meet our opposites from St Rita’s. We quickly settled into a routine (give or take some luggage mishaps) and became comfortable in our home away from home for the next two and a half weeks. Our generous American families worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible - from hot dogs at a thrilling ice hockey match to almost front-row seats at the baseball, we were constantly shown the best America had to offer. However, the sporting events weren’t the only thing that made the journey such a rewarding and memorable experience. The visits to downtown Chicago, with trips up to the observation deck of the 110-story tall Willis Tower (pronounced ‘Sears’ by the

nostalgic and proud Chicago residents) and architecture trips floating down the city’s main river, were stunning and educational. We were also given an insight into American high school life, with passionate teachers like the Chicago chaperone, KC, heading up various cultural, sporting and musical endeavors. The camaraderie between students was palpable and made every day spent at school thoroughly enjoyable for us (quite an accomplishment after just finishing a full term of school and our exams).

The Australian leg of the journey was no less rewarding. After a month apart, we were eager to reunite with our American friends and return the amazing hospitality we were shown during our time in the US. The St. Rita’s boys arrived with a full day of activities ahead of them, starting with Mission Day. A jam-packed two and a half weeks followed, with trips to Queen Street, Southbank and St Lucia giving our guests

a taste of Brisbane. Joint camping trips with the New Jersey exchange were also thoroughly enjoyable for everyone involved, giving the Chicago boys a taste of an Australian beach, surf and lifestyle. Activities organised by the Australian families were also a large part of why the exchange was so rewarding, with a come-from-behind win by the Lions over Hawthorne and a thrilling State of Origin game 1 leading the way on the sporting front. Overall, the exchange was thoroughly rewarding for everyone involved and I would highly recommend everyone who has the opportunity to participate in any of the College’s exchanges to do so. Finally, I’d like to thank everyone who made this trip possible – the two chaperones, KC Perlberg, Mr Tony Rolls, Villanova's exchange co-ordinator, Mr Sean O’Neill and all the families that made this exchange so memorable.

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 108

NEW JERSEY EXCHANGE

The 2019 Student Exchange saw two groups of students from Villanova travel to America to immerse themselves in a fellow Augustinian school. This was the first year that we combined with St Augustine’s Preparatory College from New Jersey, an all-boys 9-12 school with approximately 600 students in south New Jersey. The five students – Jacob Keay, Blake Davis, Hugh Drummond, Alex Ilka and Wilson Price were shown excellent

Augustinian hospitality and were given the opportunity to learn in classes, see co-curricular activities, and experience the similarities and differences of another Augustinian school. They were also able to explore many tourist attractions with the students visiting New York, Washington and Philadelphia. All of these experiences created a strong bond between the students and the billeting families that will remain long beyond this year. The same can be

said for the return leg when the five US students came to Brisbane. Our families welcomed them with the same hospitality and warmth that was afforded our boys and all had a wonderful time. It is an excellent opportunity for our students to explore the world, see how other schools operate and how wide the Augustinian brotherhood spans across the globe. We look forward to offering this opportunity again next year.

JAPAN FOOTBALL TOUR

During the Term 1 holidays, a squad of 32 Villanova men travelled to Japan (Tokyo) for a football tour.

Over the course of an outstanding eight days, these men played five challenging games and undertook three training sessions, two with professional coaches from the top leagues. It may have taken some time for the boys to adapt to the new notion of ‘being on time’ for trainings, but this never stopped them from being 100% there and ready to go.

We kicked off the tour with a chilled training session on the first day (Saturday morning) with the Villanova coaches, Mr Tom Carnavas and Mr Terry Kambouris, as they didn’t want to strain us after a tiring nine-hour flight.

The next day, the boys from both the A and B teams played a staggering three games against some of the best Tokyo could offer.

Team A lost their first two games 6-1 and 2-0, but then won their last game 7-1 in a triumphant victory. Though team B lost all three of their games (4-1, 5-0 and 3-2), the effort shown was tremendous and the boys went to bed knowing they gave it their all.

On Tuesday, a J-league coach took the boys for a training session. This session left the boys speechless, something which stunned the Villanova staff and coaches. The quality of the training was next level. The boys took a lot out of this session and applied the skills and tips in the games that followed. The boys took on another school team and Team A even taught the Japanese a few things about heart, passion and never giving up, scoring two goals in the last five minutes to equalise the game! Team B wasn’t fazed by the other Japanese school team, recording a 5-2 victory and displaying fantastic skill.

After a massive start to the tour, the boys were in need of a break and took a day off from playing any football. However, then Thursday came around, which was arguably the biggest day yet. Commencing the day with a training session from an

ex-Japanese national player, the boys were truly honoured. He told stories from his experiences of playing in the World Cup which were truly insightful.

In the afternoon the boys played yet another game. Team A played the supposed best team in Tokyo of their age, the Villanova boys showing them up in the first half of the game, but unfortunately the Japanese team took the victory, winning the match 7-1. Then, Team B played another school team which was arguably the most entertaining game of the tour. With the score 1-1 in the last 10 minutes, both teams were giving their all and attacking as best they could. Unfortunately, the Japanese school team came through in the end winning 2-1.

The Japan Football Squad stayed at Tokinosumika Hotel in Shizuoka on the outskirts of Tokyo, with an amazing view of Mount Fuji. This location was very convenient, only 15 minutes from the fields where we played our games and two hours from Tokyo’s city centre. The boys stayed together in comfortable huts, four people to a cabin. Everyone was really pleased with the accommodation, which provided buffet meals every breakfast, lunch and dinner. The famous cherry blossoms were out in full force, only a short walk from the accommodation. We also had access to the Japanese bathhouse/spas, a very new and different experience for the boys. In addition to games and training, we also had the opportunity to engage in noodle-making, sit in Japanese school classes and watch a professional J-League football match. The squad thoroughly enjoyed all these activities and were able to learn a lot about the Japanese culture. We also visited Tokyo Disneyland and the Skytree Tower, both incredible tourist destinations and once-ina-lifetime opportunities. In just seven days, the Villanova boys saw the best of Tokyo and experience first-hand the Japanese

culture. Between playing games, training, sightseeing, shopping and the occasional spa session, the boys all had a fantastic time on this school football tour to Japan and we would highly recommend it to other boys in the future.

Throughout the trip, culture was a major aspect, aside from the football, that the boys were exposed to. Being able to experience Japanese culture; the way they act, communicate and the food they eat was without doubt, a life-changing moment for all involved. The Japanese people were the most respectful, friendly and helpful. From players, coaches and bus drivers to the everyday person, all the boys were treated with the utmost respect and friendliness no matter where we were.

Although at times communication was a major issue, with the amazing help of our two guides, Tarro and Kanta, the boys were able to have conversations with locals while also learning a new language to flex back at home. Although challenging and on most occasions speaking some very “dodgy” Japanese, the lads gave it their best efforts to get involved and at the very least, showed the locals the respect they deserved. From Kon’nichiwa to Arigatō, everyone loved the challenge of a new and amazing language. The food was definitely something that all the boys were keen to try and they certainly were not disappointed. One of the most memorable food experiences was noodlemaking at an authentic, traditional Japanese noodle house. The boys were given a handson demonstration to create these delicious noodles which everyone enjoyed after a job well done. The boys also experienced a variety of traditional Japanese food straight from the streets of Tokyo. Food that you could never experience anywhere else in the world.

NEW ZEALAND RUGBY TOUR

On April 5, members of the Ben Mowen and Andrew Slack squads, together with seven staff, travelled across the Tasman embarking on a memorable trip to New Zealand for the 2019 Rugby Tour.

Touching down in Christchurch, a group of 49 Villanova boys boarded a bus to begin a journey through Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown. We came up against big competition, and the physicality in every game was like nothing most of the boys had seen back home. The fixtures included St Bede’s College, Shirley Boys High School, Kings High School and Wakatipu High School.

To compete against international opposition is an opportunity that for most, will only happen once-in-a-lifetime. We were also given the opportunity to train at the Crusader’s High Performance Centre, where Crusader coaches shared their secrets on how there are such a successful team. When we weren’t taking on the Kiwis, we were amazed by their beautiful country and what it has to offer. Everyone’s adventurous side came out for the extreme high ropes course, a game of skirmish and an unforgettable ride on the shot over jet. We also enjoyed experiencing the wildlife at

the Otago Peninsula including viewing an albatross colony, penguins and seals via a six-wheeled off-road buggy. Our bodies were pushed each day, but buffet after buffet never left the boys hungry. Most of all, we had fun forming new friendships and strengthening bonds within our team which placed us in a great position and mindset to enter the AIC regular season. On behalf of every player on the Rugby Tour, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our parents, staff and coaches who made this such a successful tour.

“The rules of improvisation apply beautifully to life. Never say no - you have to be interested to be interesting, and your job is to support your partners.” -

This year we grew! In our second year we have almost doubled our number of teams. With two Junior teams and three Senior teams, Villanova was a force to be reckoned with. The season lasted from the end of Term 1 until Term 4 and was a big commitment for some teams, however the results have shown it was worthwhile. The top achieving Senior team made it through to the semi-finals and one of our Junior teams made the grand final where they proved their place, working like a well-oiled machine. Theatresports takes courage and trust. It has been my pleasure to watch each team grow and learn - it’s pretty easy when they are this funny!

VILLANOVA STEM CLUB

The Villanova STEM Club kicked off once again in Term 1, 2019. The group’s first project was the University of Sydney’s Sleek Geeks Competition. Students picked a scientific concept they have always wondered about and created short videos to explain the phenomenon. Our second project included building and programming Lego EV3 robots to compete in a dance competition. Finally, our STEM students looked at implementing interventions to limit the negative impact crows have on students and facilities around the school. As part of the STEM Club, we have had students present their robots at the National Education Summit earlier in the year. We also had a visit from Professor Darryl Jones from the School of Environment and Science at Griffith University come and speak to the students about crow behaviour and research that his team recently carried out. We look forward to another exciting year of new projects in 2020.

MIDDLE SCHOOL STEM CLUB

YOUNG ICT EXPLORERS

This year, Sam Behm and Jakob Ternel were invited to present a project at the South East Queensland finals for the Young ICT Explorers Competition at the University of Queensland. After their excellent presentation, they were awarded third place in the Year 11 to 12 division with the judges commending them on the quality of the design and interface developed, and on having a system ready for commercial use.

Their project ‘MealDeal’ was inspired by the rapid increase in the use of Uber Eats and similar food delivery platforms, and statistics showing a decrease in people ‘eating out’. This is a multi-platform project (website and mobile apps) that encourages people to eat at local cafes and restaurants without charging businesses the significant fees payable for sales through the take-away apps. Restaurants are able to sign up for free and post information about themselves and the deals they have to offer. The mobile app component is mainly for the customer, using their location to find restaurants and deals in their area, and provides more in-depth search functionalities. For previous users, it will recommend deals based on their previous history.

EXCEPTIONAL LEARNERS

This year has been one of building a foundation for our Exceptional Learners here at Villanova. Students have been involved in a variety of academic programs including STEM, Chess, Debating, Theatre Sports, Tournament of Minds, ICAS Challenges, and the Mathematics Problem Solving Days at Churchie and All Hallows’. Worthy of note was our Junior A team (Thomas Winn, Jackson Moloney, Bede Earthrowl, Harry Bryant, Sebastian Wilson) who took out First Place in the Junior Division at Churchie on August 5.

As well as great numbers of students participating in these extra-curricular programs, students in Years 6 and 7 attended Extension Maths Problem Solving classes. 2020 is planning to be bigger and better for our high end thinkers, our gifted and talented students and our students just looking for that “something extra”.

DEBATING

MRS MELISSA WILSON / DEBATING CO-ORDINATOR

Across the College, debaters experienced another enjoyable and successful season. Fifteen teams from Year 5 to 12 participated in the Queensland Debating Union Competition. This participation would not be possible if it wasn’t for our dedicated and hardworking debating coaches. We appreciate the time and support they put into brainstorming, planning, writing and rehearsing speeches with their teams over the two-three terms.

This year students learnt to work as part of a team to achieve shared goals, organise ideas and construct effective arguments. It developed each of their self-confidence and created an awareness of current social issues. Many of the teams enjoyed working together as a year group to generate ideas, and this provided students with opportunities to practice and debate concepts prior to competition rounds. Students valued the social opportunities this interaction created, and they made valuable friendships from not only their own team, but opponents from other schools.

Our Senior A team were fine representatives of the College and finished the season with a thrilling win against St Augustine during their tour with us in Brisbane. We would like to congratulate these students for the spirit they have displayed over the years at

the College and also their coach Mr Holroyd for his enthusiasm and commitment. We are very much looking forward to having some of these students return as mentors and coaches to our Junior and Senior teams in 2020. A special mention to Debating Captain Max Eberhart. Max’s knowledge, dedicational and mentorship across the College this year has been exemplary.

Mr Matthew Wilson’s Year 8.2 team demonstrated a high level of commitment and dedication throughout the year. Each student brought their own distinctive style as they successfully honed their skills of research, rebuttal and presentation. The boys won three of their four preliminary debates and enjoyed their first experience participating in the final’s rounds.

Our Junior School teams were once again buzzing with debating excitement. Most teams celebrated a lot of success as they continued to cultivate their skills in persuasive writing and speech development. We congratulate our Year 5 and 6 ‘Speakers of the Night’ Lawson Phillips, Jai Bloxsom, Elijah Manolis, Charlie Clive, Thomas Hellyer, Patrick Long, Dylan Fryga and William Rasmussen.

Our Senior A team for 2020 has already started their preparations for the 2020

season with coach Peter Sams. Peter graduated Villanova College in 2007 and since then has experienced much success debating and adjudicating in numerous national and international tournaments. Peter has also had four years experience as a Senior A coach and conducts numerous workshops on behalf of QDU. We look forward to Peter sharing his expertise and skills with our Senior A boys and wish them all the best for next year.

It is evident 2019 has been a year of growth, development and success for our debating students. We look forward to 2020 and the new challenges our debaters will experience.

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.

AIC Basketball Champion School – 2019 (Villanova has won this title for a record five consecutive years 2015-19)

1st V Basketball Premiership

1st XI Cricket Premiership

In such a strong sports competition, Villanova’s efforts in 2019 have been superb. I often receive positive remarks from people associated with other Colleges 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.

Our overall results from the 12 AIC sports on offer during 2019 indicate that Villanova College is among the top performing AIC Colleges in the AIC Competition.

2019 saw the introduction of two new AIC sports – AFL and Rugby League. These sports will be trialled this year and next before the AIC Association reviews the success of these sports and the possibility of implementing them fully as part of the AIC calendar from 2021. AFL was hugely successful at Villanova this year with the introduction of more teams from Years 7 to 12. Villanova came second in the aggregate, only one point behind the eventual winners.

Villanova has continued to develop and strengthen our already significant relationship with Easts Rugby League Club, situated across the road from our College campus. We have collaborated with Easts quite heavily in the build-up to the rugby league season ensuring that we take full advantage of the location and resources that Easts were able to provide, particularly with regards to player and coaching development. Given most of our boys played league for the first time this year, we will certainly be ‘all the better’ from the 2019 season as we look to further develop our program in 2020.

The hard work and dedication needed to succeed in sport 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

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 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 2019, I believe the boys did accomplish this throughout the year. There is no doubt that our College relies heavily on the involvement of both 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 2019, 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 for 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 2019 AIC sports program. Our coaches freely gave up 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 2019 sports 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 following titles:

AIC Cricket Champion School – 2019

1st IV Chess Premiership

I wish also to acknowledge the efforts of the Villanova Sports Club. This group is a parent driven body who meet regularly in order to provide support and assistance to the 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. A significant amount of funding this year was directed towards the possibility of a new track and field facility planned for Villanova Park in 2020. 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 would like to thank and acknowledge the great work accomplished by my colleagues in the Sports Office including Mr Blake McLauchlan (AIC Co-ordinator) and Mr Chris Everding (AIC Co-ordinator) as well as the individual Sports Co-ordinators including Ms Barbara Dewis (Volleyball), Mr Adam Fry (AFL), Mr Anthony Kemp (Football), Mrs Juanita Jacobs (Swimming and Water Polo), Mrs Sally England and Mrs Mylan Warren (Chess), Mr Brian Pascoe (Cross Country) and Mr Sean O’Neill (Basketball). 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.

I would like to single out the efforts of Mrs Erika Schofield (School Officer – Sports Office). After 15 years of service to the College, Erika has decided to retire at the conclusion of this year. Erika has given so much of herself in her role over this period within the Sports Office. Her loyalty, friendship and work ethic, among many other positive traits, will be missed. On behalf of the entire College, I thank Erika for the significant positive impact she has had whilst in her role at Villanova. We wish her and her husband Paul the very best in their retirement.

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

AIC AFL REPORT

MR ADAM FRY / AIC AFL CO-ORDINATOR

What a fantastic year for Villanova AFL! We had over 140 players don the Green and Gold for what was a terrific season of football. It was fantastic to see, from the very first trials back in 2018, the eagerness and determination to do well and compete amongst some of the big AIC schools. With the introduction of our Senior teams from Year 7 to Open it was outstanding to see the potential of the AFL program here at Villanova. It was evident from the very first weekend the fight in these boys across all grades and that never let up until our very last game.

The hard work that these boys demonstrated provided Villanova with a second placing in the Overall Aggregate. This is a fantastic achievement for boys who have never played the game before and show that when we have another preseason under our belt we can achieve something special.

A very special mention must go to the Year 5A team on a terrific premiership season. It was incredible to watch your skill, teamwork

and of course sportsmanship across the whole competition.

Being the first year Villanova has had a First XVIII, it must be said how well these boys developed as a team from week one to seven. To finish the season with three wins, two losses and a draw is a huge achievement considering half our squad had never played Australian Rules before. Isaac Lynch and his entire leadership group should be commended on a terrific effort to compete and never give up regardless of the score. To only get beaten in the last 15 minutes of each game to schools who have been playing AFL for many years is a huge upside for Villanova. With a strong contingent of Year 11s, our first program in 2020 is looking very promising.

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 Chris Everding 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 all coaches 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 you showing 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 percent week in, week out. I look forward to trials and training getting underway at the end of 2019 and cannot wait for round one in 2020.

AIC BASKETBALL REPORT

MR SEAN O’NEILL / AIC BASKETBALL CO-ORDINATOR

The 2019 Villanova basketball season was again a huge success. The profile of the basketball program both within the school and within Queensland basketball circles continues to grow and our improvement each year is amazing. We had 30 teams participate across Years 5 to 12 and the number of boys trialling for each year level was again very high. Coaches continue to comment each year on the standard of the players continually improving.

We were able to again secure the aggregate trophy for 2019, meaning we were the Champion School for basketball for a fifth consecutive year. This is a truly amazing feat that all players and coaches should be very proud. From those 30 teams that competed, we were able to secure 14 premierships. A further three teams placed second and two placed third. Of particular note was the Year 8 teams that secured premierships in the As, Bs and Cs and to the Open teams that had three firsts and a second.

The 1st V for 2019 was another outstanding success story taking out the premiership for the first time since 2013 and the first time Villanova has won it undefeated.

It is a particularly hard feat to secure an undefeated premiership in 1st V as the level of competition across the schools is very high so the players and coaches deserve every accolade. It was a team performance whereby each week, different players stood up to take responsibility for securing victory and all 13 players worked very hard over the preseason and during the season to ensure success. Special mention must go to the new head coach, Jordan Mullan who came on board this year and made an immediate impact with the players and brand of basketball played.

Part of the reason behind the success over the last five years has been the Wildcat, Sabres and Cubs High Performance Program that we run. This has allowed us to work with the best players in every grade to push them to perform at their best and take those skills back to their teams. Our 1st V and 11A teams competed at the preseason Gold Coast Invitational where the 1sts came fifth and the 11As used it as valuable experience to help them prepare for the season where they came out as premiers.

Post AIC season, our 1st V went on to compete at the Champion Basketball

Schools of Queensland in Division 2. After winning five of our seven matches we placed third and took home a bronze medal which again was an excellent effort. This means that next year we have the opportunity to compete in Championship Division which places us in the top 16 schools in the state.

We also entered the Under 15 Sweet 16 Basketball Championships this year. After winning last year, a group of Year 9 and 10 players competed in Term 4 for the chance to go back-to-back. We unfortunately fell one game short and lost the semi-final in a very tight game. We won the bronze medal, a great effort amongst some strong opposition schools.

A final thank you must go to all coaches who helped with teams this year. We have a fantastic mix of external coaches, staff and Old Boys who work so hard to increase the basketball knowledge and skill of all players. The success of the program lies in part with the effort from all of them.

We now move our attention to 2020 and to how we can continue to push this program forward.

AIC CHESS REPORT

MRS MYLAN WARREN / AIC CHESS CO-ORDINATOR

The season came to a close with an exciting final night against St Laurence’s College. By the end of the night the Villanova teams had won premierships for the Opens, Senior B and Intermediate B, and came second place overall in the aggregate. The season has been an outstanding success because of the high-quality play from each team.

The Opens were represented by Alex Ilka, William Ilka, Sam Stenson and Max Eberhardt. Senior B team players were Aiden Lee, Tom Stenson, Mason Luu, Ethan Bell and Alex McDougall. Senior A, consisting of Jack Perrier, Isaac Langford, Alex Wang and Mitchell Droop placed sixth. Congratulations must be given to both Alex and Will Ilka for only losing one game throughout the whole season.

The Intermediate teams also had a fantastic season with the Intermediate B team winning the premiership with the loss of only one round. The team consisted of Alex Hulme, Tom Winn, Patrick Bryant, Connor Whitby and Harry Bryant. The Intermediate A team placed fifth in the season. The team comprised Tom Hoctor, Harry Blaser, Daniel Waugh, Christian Dang and Oliver Wills.

The Junior teams also managed to place sixth and fifth. The Junior teams consisted of Jack Neate, Adam Kielenniva, Eli Dunstan, Jessie Livotto, Riley Gaffney, Reuben Wagels,

Joshua Carroll and Ryan Thomas. 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, as 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 team always striving to gain a position in AIC.

The Intermediate team was Nicholas Humphries, Oscar Comino, Fionn Rossi, Blake Waugh, Sebastian Wilson and Lachlan Sturgess.

Finally, we have our band of enthusiastic Junior C team members, and some had a chance to play as our reserves in this season’s games: Jordan Barry, Ben Lestani, William Dolphin, Turlough O’Neill and Yanni Katsanevas. It was also great to see the continuation of family groups, with two boys from the Ilka, Stenson, Wills and Bryant families participating.

Coinciding with the AIC Competition was the College Championships for 2019. Congratulations to Alex Ilka as Senior Champion, Will Ilka as Middle School Champion and Jack Neate as Junior Champion.

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 practice and competition every week; and Mrs Blair who provided teams with food and drink when we played at home (especially for the infamous chocolate chip cookies). We also thank Old Boy, Tom Balshaw, who helped Intermediate and Senior players each week and Mr O’Neill for helping set up the Junior teams and driving to the venue ahead of time. Thank you to both Reece Jansen and Harrison Wills who played for us with short notice when our team members couldn’t play. A big thank you to all the library staff who assisted us with the set up of our home games. Finally, a very special thank you to Mrs England for all her hard work at the beginning of the season organising the players and teams. Most importantly, the results realised would not have been achieved without you, the players, coming and playing for two terms to reach your potential. It has been a great achievement to be placed so consistently high in our ranking. Congratulations to the whole team for your persistence and dedication throughout the semester. We look forward to doing it all again next year.

AIC Champion Cricket School 2019 and 1st XI Undefeated Premiers

2019 will be remembered as one of the finest in Villanova’s cricket history, with 14 premierships, the prestigious 1st XI premiership and the AIC Cricket Aggregate Shield. Congratulations to everyone involved in Villanova cricket this year. For just the third time since 1999, Marist College

Ashgrove has given up the crown as cricket champions to Villanova. Villanova won the aggregate in 2012 and 2016 and have added the 2019 Championship to the trophy cabinet. There is a lot of work that goes into selecting, coaching and managing the 36 teams that represented the College this year and a huge thank you goes out to everyone involved, from the coloured teams through to the aggregate sides, for what has been an

extremely successful season.

Entering 15 teams into the Eastern Districts Junior Cricket Association and BEARS competitions in Term 4 2018, was an excellent lead into the AIC Competition. Villanova won the Division 4 and Division 8 competitions in BEARS and with other teams performing well overall, Villanova was crowned Champion Club for the 2018

VINCIT VERITAS / TRUTH CONQUERS 123

pre-Christmas competition. Thanks must go to Ross Whitby, Jeff Ilka and Phil Horton for their tireless efforts to co-ordinate the Villanova teams, as Term 4 is traditionally driven by the parents. These men certainly guided all of the teams throughout the competition.

The success of the AIC season was a wonderful achievement and made possible by the boys who participated in cricket. An Aggregate win can only come about by B players pushing A players and C and D players pushing B players to perform right across the College.

Final aggregate points were:

Villanova: 83 Ashgrove: 77.5

Padua: 60.5 St. Laurence’s: 60.5

Iona: 56.5 St. Patrick’s: 29.5

St. Peters: 25.5 St. Edmund’s: 8

Villanova won eight aggregate premierships of the 12 on offer, with the 1st XI, 3rd XI, 4th XI, 9A, 9B, 8A and 8B teams winning outright premierships and the 7B team sharing the premiership with Ashgrove. The 10C, 9C, 9 Gold, 8C, 7C and 5 Green teams all won nonaggregate premierships.

1st XI Premiers

Over the last 20 years Villanova has won the 1st XI premiership four times: ‘01, ‘02, ‘12 and ‘13. This year’s 1st XI not only won, but did it in style, beating St Laurence’s College in a nail-biter by three runs in the last game to go undefeated in a very tough competition. It is the first time that a Villanova side has won all seven matches and stood tall, winning the premiership on their own. It was a season where every player at some stage, in each match across the season, stood up and played a match winning role and they will be remembered as a ‘champion team’.

We congratulate Nathan Dufty, the 1st XI coach, who has spent many years chasing his 'Holy Grail' and was rewarded with his second 1st XI premiership and hopefully, not last. They began the season with a dominating 200 run win against St Edmund’s College and clawed their way back from 5-28 against Padua to post a competitive score of 191. The bowlers then ‘did their thing’ and knocked over Padua for 109. The following two rounds against Iona College and St Peters Lutheran College were strong victories and the boys were primed for Round 5 against Ashgrove. Many sides in the past have had golden opportunities slip through their hands during this round but the 1st XI kept the pressure on the opposition and they all played well to earn a fantastic away victory. A wash out against St Patrick’s College took Villanova to the last round against St Laurence’s, a side that had underperformed all season. St Laurence’s College gave our boys a mighty scare in what was one of the most nail-biting and dramatic finishes ever seen at Villanova Park. St Laurence’s almost pulled off a great victory needing eight runs with four wickets

in hand but a late batting collapse resulted in pandemonium as Villanova took the last four wickets for five runs to win the match by three runs.

Thanks to the following people who coached a team this year, your efforts have enabled the boys to work hard and achieve outstanding results all season:

Staff: Rohan Dooley

Parents: Rob Cole, Jamie Mullins (Past Parent), Rob Jansen, Michael Schouten, David Short, Mick Druery, Neville Jeffs, Ross Whitby, John Godwin, Damien Colbert, David Hollett, Simon Dickie, James Anderson and David McMahon

I would like to make special mention to the following group of Old Boys who have returned to the College to help 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 as the students thoroughly enjoyed having these men as coaches: Josh Cole, George Myers, Jack Blanchfield, Aidan Dooley, Julian Chinn, Dominic Coote, Matt Watson, Benji Lynch, Stuart Hooper, Sean Parker, Josh Fraser, Gus Clegg, James King, Patrick Coote, Oscar Horton, Jack Honan, Nick Halstead, Mackenzie Osborne, Mitchell Cameron, Oliver Kearney, Lachlan Kearney, Cooper Brien, Will Vokes, James Muldoon, Nathan Madden, Sam Brown, Tim Hazlewood, Nathan Whitby, Miles Parker, Jack Challinor, Joseph Roberts, Trent Foster, Hunter Gapes and Alex Tornatore.

AIC CROSS COUNTRY REPORT

MR BRIAN PASCOE / AIC CROSS COUNTRY CO-ORDINATOR

In Cross Country we believe we live Villanova’s Gateway Values that guide the Augustinian ethos of the College:

• Restless search for Truth

• A sense of Interiority (behaviour you accept is behaviour that defines you)

• A sense of Community

Cross Country training allows quiet consideration with your own thoughts. The training methods such as fartlek and threshold sessions are not pleasant if completed properly. However, learning to

accept the distress and relish the discomfort that promotes growth and improvement is invaluable for developing ‘Augustinian’ men of character. It helps shape a young man into the best version of himself.

This has been a strong ongoing tradition at

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 124

Villanova and was first introduced to me by Fr Laurie Mooney, College Rector in 1984, when as a new Year 8 student I joined his Friday afternoon running group. This was also the vocation lived by Tony MacPherson, Villanova’s Cross Country coach for two decades 1984-2004. This is also the mantra adopted by current coach David Barton (’09) who challenges the Running Wildcats squad to live the famous words attributed to St Augustine,

‘Perseverance, God’s greatest gift, never give up!’

The good news is the Augustinian values are still evident within the Cross Country squad and being lived by the Running Wildcats.

Jayden Bryant, an integral and muchloved member of the Open squad, was invited to read the Kokoda Prayer to the Running Wildcat’s squad prior to the AIC Championships. The Kokoda Prayer captures and links the essence of Cross Country running and Villanova’s Augustinian Values:

We are surrounded by those who went before and those yet to come - so great a cloud of witnesses.

Let us therefore lay aside every weight and care which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is before us. We run to honour the students and community members of yesteryear, we run to help the youth who need us today. We run the race that God has set and with his help we, and all our mates, will be as they were: ‘Equal to the task.’

The prayer is written by Mr Adrian Hellwig and inspired by the letter to the Hebrews (12:1) and the Motto of the Australian Army Service Corps.

The improvement demonstrated by so many runners throughout the season has been a privilege to witness.

Villanova gained a credible fifth place at the AIC Championships and won the premiership for the Under 14 age group. These great results were a fair reflection of the performance of the Running Wildcats on Championship day. Notable performers on AIC Championship day include:

Year 5: Zachariah Moir – 2nd, Charles Farmer – 13th, William White – 19th, Ronan McMahon - 20th and Jack Fidge – 21st.

Year 6: Patrick Holmes – 9th, Michael Hegarty – 14th and Mitch Milward – 15th.

Under 12: Henry Oberhardt – 17th, Max Carson - 19th and Noah Macquet - 24th.

Under 13: Ben Hermiston – 10th, Kyan Simpson – 19th and Isaac Greenwood –20th.

Under 14: Cohen Stewart – 1st, Mitchell Rieck – 2nd, Jakob Beaverstock – 17th, Luke Schaumburg 18th, Caden Griffiths – 30th and Charlie Corrigan - 38th.

Under 15: Jacob Dimmick – 3rd, Michael Anderson – 22nd and Luke Pascoe - 27th.

Under 16: Oliver Rae – 15th, Luke Barton30th, Fiachra Richards – 33rd.

Open: Jaxon Paterson-Wright – 7th, Jake Merrett – 16th and Sam Stenson – 30th.

A summary of age group places:

Year 5: Third place

Year 6: Fifth place

Under 12: Seventh place

Under 13: Fifth place

Under 14: First place

Under 15: Fifth place

Under 16: Sixth place

Open: Seventh place

I would like to thank fellow coaches and managers for the expertise, 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 develop into better versions of themselves.

Junior School - Mr Matthew Conlan (teacher), Miss Amy Roberts (teacher), Mr Tom Lonergan (external coach)

Middle and Senior School - Mr Jordan Roach (teacher) and Mr David Barton (’09 and external coach)

Congratulations to all runners on an excellent season.

AIC FOOTBALL REPORT

MR ANTHONY KEMP / AIC FOOTBALL CO-ORDINATOR

The 2019 Football season has been another step in the right direction and a continuation of improvement from results last year. Once again, the dedication from all involved has proven to be valuable as many teams honed their skills and fought hard for the ‘Green and Gold’ – another great sign for the future of football at Villanova. As always football proved to be a popular choice amongst the boys with Villanova fielding 33 teams from Years 5 to 12 who started their journey together at the end of Term 1.

In the overall Aggregate, Villanova placed

a very respectable fourth, just three points behind Ashgrove who finished third. Villanova has managed to maintain fourth spot in the overall Aggregate once again and is quickly closing the gap, pushing to be one of the top AIC football schools.

Congratulations to the mighty 6Bs who were guided by Old Boy and first-time coach Hudson Rogers to an undefeated season, a great achievement by all of the boys involved. The 8As managed to take out the premiership in a three-way tie in what proved to be a very competitive division

and have improved on their second-place finish last season. They were put through their paces by another first-time coach for Villanova, parent James Hermiston who did a magnificent job with the team. They were looking to take out the premiership outright in the last game of the season but unfortunately went down resulting in a shared premiership. The 9Bs were another side to remain undefeated in their division, resulting in a tied premiership with St Peters Lutheran College. Well done to the boys involved and to their coach Mohamed

VINCIT VERITAS / TRUTH CONQUERS 125

Hersi. Other notable teams that deserve a mention for their efforts throughout the season include the 9As who finished a respectable second and are a side that have great potential as they move through their schooling years. The Open sides had a great resurgence of form this year and competed extremely hard and as a result the 1sts, 2nds and 3rds all finished in third place in their respective divisions. Unfortunately, the last round results against St Laurence’s College impacted their finish to what was a great season by all of those 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.

After the performances of the 1st XI squad in 2018, there was certainly some excitement around seeing what the squad of 2019 was capable of producing. Ultimately, the prize the boys were chasing was to be named the AIC Champions and this was definitely an achievable goal. The season kicked off for these boys in Term 4, 2018 under the guidance and watchful eye of returning coach, Mr Tom Carnarvas and assistant coach, Mr Terry Kambouris. The squad was put through their paces in the pre season, participating in a combined 1st and 2nd development squad and tested in a number of trial matches. It was clear to see early on that this could be a season that the 1st XI really pushed for the title. The team was tested in a number of preseason games against classy opposition in Brisbane Boys’ College and Brisbane State High.

Overall our 1st XI finished the season with four victories over St Edmund’s College, Padua, Ashgrove and St Patrick’s College. One of these victories was over eventual winners, Ashgrove, which really showcases the talent of our Villanova 1st XI squad and the potential to be overall winners. These outstanding results led to the boys finishing a very respectable third in their division amongst some great quality sides. Unfortunately, there were a few close losses throughout the season that could have ultimately changed the overall outcome

for the team, in particular the last game against St Laurence’s which proved to be a costly loss. The 2019 season included many highlights for the 1st XI team. Most notably the first win of the season will no doubt live long in the memory as it was a fantastic 5-2 result against St Edmund’s that kicked the season off strongly. Another highlight of the season for the 1st XI was undoubtedly the hard-fought victory against Ashgrove, who ended up being the eventual premiers. The Villanova side looked to be the dominant team out on the park and were able to capitalise on an early chance with Peter Klaassen finding the back of the net to take the lead. A nice piece of lead-up work from the team set up the second goal scored by Terry Solomon to take a 2-0 lead into half-time. Unsurprisingly, Ashgrove came out strong in the second half, chasing the lead only to have our boys play a nice brand of football which saw them use the ball intelligently to keep possession and control the game. Ashgrove clawed back a goal against the flow of play to set up a tense finish which saw them hit the post and have the ball roll towards the goal before being saved by Oliver Shanks. It was a great overall team effort from the boys!

A highlight of the football season was the Japan tour involving 32 boys over the Easter holidays. Not only did this tour prove to be a success in terms of improving the boys as footballers, but more importantly, it immersed them in a different culture, and left them with lifelong experiences. Included among many of the activities the boys experienced was first-hand coaching from professional J-League teams, a oncein-a-lifetime experience! They competed in many games against quality opposition and had the opportunity to compete in a mini tournament. Away from the football pitch, the boys experienced life and culture in Japan through activities such as noodle making, Japanese drum playing and a trip to Tokyo Disneyland. A big thank you to Villanova staff members Mr Blake McLauchlan, Mr Chris Everding and 1st coaches Mr Tom Carnarvas and Mr Terry Kambouris for taking the boys on this trip of

a lifetime to Japan.

The successful year that Villanova has enjoyed this season can not only be attributed 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 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 2019. Thank you to Mr Terry Kambouris, Mr Paul Mulligan, Mr Richard Danen and Mr James Hermiston. 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 return 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 Mr Mohamed Hersi and Mr Michael Hollands. A number of staff members also contributed to the football program this year. A big thank you goes to Mr Stuart Denigan 6A, Mr Matthew Wilson 6C, Miss Chloe Adams 6 White, Miss Kirstina Dawson 5A, Miss Kelson Lee 5C and Mrs Nichole Rouhliadeff 5 Gold. We have been fortunate to have the services of goalkeeper coach Mr Anthony De Luca who has guided our boys in this specialist role and his efforts are truly appreciated. Finally, thanks must go to Football Director Mr Michael Rooney for his support and help throughout the entire season with assisting the coaches and players.

It goes without saying, but games wouldn’t be able to take place without the assistance of community members with a whistle on the field. Thank you to those parents, students and extended members of the Villanova community who have assisted throughout the season officiating games. Your ongoing support of the football program is truly appreciated.

THE VILLANOVAN 2019 126

On Monday October 28 Villanova’s best golfers returned to Indooroopilly Golf Club to once again challenge for the annual Balharry Shield. Representing the College, students Ben Pickering, Jordy McGarry, Thomas Winn, along with Seniors Jack Milner and Peter Klaassen were seeking to regain the AIC title most recently held by Villanova in 2017.

The Balharry Shield is a team event, with each school in the AIC Competition entering up to five players. The winner is declared after the aggregate of the best four net scores per team is calculated. The uncharacteristically benign conditions allowed for favourable scoring, making it one of the most evenly contested Championships in recent times. At the close

of play, Villanova finished a credible fourth behind eventual winners, St Peters Lutheran College. Throughout the day, individual prizes were also on offer with players having the opportunity to win lowest gross score, lowest net score, nearest the pin, longest drive and second approach shot competitions. Congratulations to Jordy McGarry who shot the joint low round of the day, 77, to take out the gross award honours.

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 2020 in the hope of winning back the coveted Balharry Shield.

AIC RUGBY LEAGUE REPORT

2019 marked the introduction of rugby league into the AIC calendar. It was fantastic to feel the anticipation and excitement building around rugby league making its mark on the sporting calendar for the first time. In the inaugural AIC Competition, we had over 140 players don the Green and Gold for what was an interesting introductory season. The eagerness and determination to do well and compete against some of the big AIC rugby league schools was evident immediately at the trials in Term 2. Overall Villanova completed the season in fifth place in front of St Edmund’s College and St Laurence’s College. This is a very pleasing result in the first year of competition. Congratulations to our Year 8 team who finished the season in third place.

As was expected, some boys are still learning the basics of rugby league but there were many positives to take out of the 2019 season. There is no doubt that many of our boys display a real talent for the game. It has been pleasing to hear that the season has motivated many boys to play club rugby league in 2020 and beyond.

It was a tough seven weeks for our 1st XIII team. For many of our players, rugby league was a new experience; however, the team proved that they could score points against quality rugby league sides such as Ashgrove, Iona and Padua. The

Round 1 fixture versus St Edmund’s was an impressive performance by our 1st XIII. The boys managed to secure their first victory by 24 points. Unfortunately, we then went on to play the top three rugby league schools back-to-back. This made scoring points difficult. There were some tough mental and physical lessons to be learnt for our open players in their first year of competition. It is reassuring to know that many of our Year 11 boys will be back next year with more experience and a better understanding of the game.

For our very first season, we were excited to have many experienced coaches on board developing and getting the best out of our boys. Mr Terry Matterson is the current Development Officer for the East Tigers Rugby League Club and helped with the development of our players and all coaches. Terry played for many years with the Brisbane Broncos and at one point was the leading point scorer at the club. Terry was selected to play State of Origin in 1989 and has also had an extensive coaching career. We thank Terry for helping with supporting our coaches and players for the introductory season.

The College was also very lucky to have Mr Jon Buchanan on board as the head coach for our 1st XIII. Jon is a prominent name in Queensland rugby league and was the head coach for the Wynnum Manly Seagulls before moving over to his current club, the South Logan Magpies

for the Queensland Intrust Super Cup Competition. Jon has also been the head coach for the Queensland residents side for the past three years. We were extremely lucky to have him on board with our Open boys for 2019 and thank him for all his hard work in getting the best out of our players in their first year of rugby league. There is a lot of work that goes into the selection, coaching and management of the seven teams that represented the College this year and a huge thank you goes to everyone involved. We continue to rely on the generosity of Old Boys and external coaches to give our boys a run on the paddock every Saturday. Thank you to Mr Nathan Booth, Mr Brad Ryan, Mr Peter Fitzgerald, Mr Steve Livingstone, Mr Damien Pratt and Mr Sinave Faitala. A huge thank you to our Old Boys, Mr Cooper Sauvage and Mr Sam Harding who came on board this year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank College staff member, Mr Callum Hackett who took on managerial duties for our Junior School teams.

Finally, I extend a massive thank you to all parents and members of the Villanova community who offered to help with running water and performing linesmen duties. Without the ongoing support and assistance from the many members of the Villanova College community, the inaugural 2019 season would not have been possible.

AIC RUGBY UNION REPORT

MR BLAKE MCLAUCHLAN / AIC SPORT CO-ORDINATOR

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Villanova rugby program for 2019. It was fantastic to see how committed our boys were and the skill level improve as the season progressed. For all of our boys, trials began in week 9 of Term 1 where 25 teams from Years 5 to 12 were selected and entered into the AIC Competition.

Our 1st XV squad commenced their strength and conditioning training in Term 4 last year. They participated in AIC trials against Somerset College, St Laurence’s College and Padua. During the Easter holidays our 1st XV squad gained some valuable experience competing against teams from New Zealand on the Rugby Tour of New Zealand. The tour was once again a huge success and proved to be a fantastic bonding experience for the boys. As a result, they were mentally and physically prepared for the 2019 AIC season. Overall our 1st XV completed the season with five wins against St Edmund’s College, Padua, Iona, St Peters Lutheran College and St Patrick’s College and finished the season in second place behind Ashgrove. The opening rounds versus St Edmund’s and Padua 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 an enormous number of points against their oppositions. The most notable performance was the fixture against Iona. The Villanova Old Boys' round versus Iona was a huge success and the 1st XV did not disappoint on such a big occasion. Thank you to all of the supporters who stayed to spectate and support our 1st XV throughout the season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our 1st XV coaches, Mr Paul Davey and Mr Craig Kassulke on what has been an extremely successful season for our 1st XV. The coaching, mentoring and commitment

of Paul and Craig to the program has been outstanding and we thank them for their efforts again for the 2019 season. Unfortunately, once again Villanova rugby was plagued with injuries early on in the season. Our 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 Peters. Slowly boys began returning from injury as we approached the back end of the season. This brought some much-needed momentum that was displayed during matches against St Patrick’s and St Laurence’s.

Overall Villanova placed fourth in the Aggregate in front of Padua and St Patrick’s. Congratulations to the 4th XV and the 8As who placed second and the 8Bs and 10As who placed third in the aggregate competition. Other teams that also deserve a mention were the 10Cs who were undefeated and the 7Cs who placed second in the non-aggregate competition. It was fantastic to see teams win this year, who have been unsuccessful in previous seasons. There is no doubt that the Villanova rugby program is heading in the right direction.

Congratulations to all of our Year 5 teams who experienced an enormous amount of success in their first year of AIC rugby. Our 5Bs, 5Cs and 5 Gold teams completed this season undefeated and our 5A and 5 White teams only had one loss. This is a very promising sign for the future of rugby at Villanova.

There is a lot of work that goes into the selection, coaching and management of the 25 teams that represented the College this year and a huge thank you goes out to everyone involved for what has been a successful season. We continue to rely on

the generosity of parents, Old Boys and external coaches to give our boys a run on the paddock every Saturday. Thank you to parents: Mr Paul Keene, Mr Ben Francis, Mr Jon Winsbury, Mr Eddie Harris, Mr Matthew Thornton, Mr David Harris, Mr Robert Gore, Mr Rohan McCaul, Mr Dean Staley, Mr Mark Redmond, and Mr David Grigson. A huge thank you to our Old Boys who came on board this year. Thank you to Mr Harrison Stanfield, Mr Josh Mullins, Mr Will Vokes, Mr James Muldoon, Mr Harry Addley, Mr Isaac Abraham, Mr Nick Philips, Mr Mark Stuart, Mr Pat Thomas, Mr Fletcher O’Neil, Mr Ben Cree, Mr Scott Mains, Mr Terry Gaffney, and Mr Dan McHugh. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff members who assisted this year. Thank you to Mr Steve Bremner, Mr Mick Garske, Mr Matt Smith, Mr Matt Levander, Mr Jack O’Hare, Mr Kirk Astill, Mr Jordan Roache, Mr Ben Lynam, Mr Callum Hackett, Mr Brendan Kennedy and Mr Ben Thurlow. It is fantastic to have so many staff members who contribute to establishing a rugby culture within the College.

Finally, I would also like to extend a massive thank you to all members of the Villanova community who offer to help with refereeing and officiating each of our home games. Thank you to Mr Dan Sheahan, Mr Bruce Stuart, Mr Peter Roberts, Mr Jim Harris, Mr Michael Moloney, Mr Paul Woodward, Mr Ben Henry and Mr Matthew Campbell. We are also very lucky to have students who volunteer to referee. Thank you to George Greenhalgh, Frazer Moloney, Theo Grespos, Alex Hulme, Joshua Butterfield, Hugo Browne, Oliver Broten and Aidan Sheahan. Without the ongoing support and assistance of many members of the Villanova College community, the 2019 season would not have been possible.

Bring on 2020!

AIC SWIMMING REPORT

MRS JUANITA JACOBS / AIC SWIMMING CO-ORDINATOR

After six months of effort, early mornings and lots of bacon and egg breakfasts, the AIC Championship carnival arrived, and Villanova was prepared. The boys were confident, excited, and really hoping to finish the season strongly with some top finishes in a very tough competition. Thank you to coaches Kerry Holland, Guilly Santos and assistant coaches Toca Bones and Nic Elsey for all their efforts, patience and preparations with the squad. The improvement in the quality of our swimmers, the depth of the team, and the willingness to commit to doing better every time is a reflection of their talents as coaches. While we may not have been rewarded with the improved place at the end of the season for the Senior squad, as coaches and managers, we are seeing a positive change in culture as the squad builds in competitiveness and commitment. The depth of the younger students was obvious in the Junior squad, with Year 5 winning the aggregate and the team finishing second overall for the Year 5 and 6 aggregate.

The Year 5 boys won 13 out of 18 events and broke the record in the Division 1 relay. The team convincingly won all three of the relays. The other five events included two seconds, two thirds and a fourth place.

It really was a dominant display of talent from an enthusiastic group of boys. Their success comes from their hard work in the pool, but also the support of a large group of swimmers who are all wanting to compete for a swim. In a similar way, the Year 6 team had top three places in 12 out of 18 events. Again, these boys were very competitive in the pool, and some of the finishes were very close.

The Senior boys had top four finishes in nearly half of their events, with four wins, and another 21 second and third places. The 13 Years team finished 2nd or 3rd in each of their relays, again showing the strength we have in particular year levels. Unfortunately, we struggled to fill the 16 Years age group, and while proudly led by Henry Barras, he was supported by a team consisting of many younger students. I wish to particularly acknowledge the Year 8, 9 and 10 boys who competed in the 16 Years age group - James Reid, Ronan Begley, Griffin Cullen, Hugo Harrison, Tom Hoctor and Luke Schaumburg. They have stepped up to swim against boys up to two years older than themselves. These boys trained well but more importantly, they were willing to take the risk on the day, give their best on the blocks, and represent Villanova with distinction.

Success in swimming takes a lot of effort, and our squad captain, Andrew Vick, epitomises determination, resilience and commitment. Andrew led a growing swimming squad. The quality of swimmers coming through the junior years is adding strength and depth to the squad and this was very much on display at the competition. Villanova swimming is strong, and it is only getting stronger as we now have significant competition to be able to represent Villanova on the day of competition. Congratulations to all the boys who trained, participated in the Friday night meets and supported Villanova swimming. Each of you worked hard and should be proud of your efforts.

AIC TENNIS REPORT

MR CRAIG STARIHA / DIRECTOR OF SPORT

Congratulations to all tennis players from Year 5 to 12 on a great season. The 2019 season saw an array of tennis talent coming from all AIC schools in various age groups making the competition across the board very competitive.

Villanova had an outstanding season achieving third place overall in the AIC tennis aggregate, a fantastic result! Well done to first place winners St Peters and second place getters, St Laurence’s. All those who took to the court should feel immensely proud of their efforts which, when combined, contributed towards this great result.

As always, good results don’t come easily. Our preseason commenced way back in late March with 15 of our best players in the College invited into the Senior Tennis Development Program to train every Wednesday evening for 12 consecutive weeks leading into the tennis season. During Term 2, another 32 players in Year 6 to 9

were invited into the Junior Tennis Aces Program, training every Friday afternoon throughout Term 2 also in the effort to hone their skills ready for the AIC tennis season.

From the 17 teams entered into the AIC tennis competition we were unable to secure a premiership nor have an undefeated team. Coming into round 7 against St Laurence’s, both the 3rd IV and 6B teams needed to win their final game to take out a premiership or undefeated season honour. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be as both teams lost their matches.

Our best performing teams were the 3rd IV, 11A, 11B and 7B teams who placed second on the ladder, and from the Juniors our 6B team lost only one game through the season. Overall, our 1st IV team came fifth, securing three wins and four losses over the season. The best performance no doubt was against Ashgrove where our boys took out the day and retained the Errol Davis Trophy for the second consecutive year.

I must thank all coaches and managers including Mr Alex Joye, Ms Barbara Dewis, Mr Michael Mascadri, Mr Ben Stuart, Mr Matt Pertnikovs, Mr Julian Mascadri, Mr Nicholas Halstead, Mr Shayle Korander-Matheson and Mrs Maria Mascadri for all their time and effort given throughout the entire season. They are a great group of people who did a fantastic job looking after their teams.

Finally, I thank the players for their commitment given. Well done on a great season and I certainly do look forward to hitting the courts again in 2020!

AIC TRACK AND FIELD REPORT

MR MICHAEL GARSKE / AIC TRACK AND FIELD COACH

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 boys are to be commended for the hard work they put in on the track. Special mention goes to our Year 5 members of the Track and Field squad. Their commitment to the season was second-to-none and, as a result, they were rewarded for their efforts with the Year 5 Age Champion Trophy for 2019. Also noteworthy was the performance of our Under 16 team that finished second in their age championship.

The 2019 AIC Track and Field Championships were, again, of the highest standard with 12 new individual records and three new relay records set across the two days of the carnival. Pleasingly, Villanova was among the record breakers with the Year 5 Div 1: 4 x 100m team setting a new record of 55.09 sec.

There were many notable performances by Villanova athletes throughout the championships, with Villanova athletes achieving 28 first places (22 track; 5 field; 1 relay), 19 second places (12 track; 5 field; 2 relay) and 18 third places (8 track; 8 field; 2 relay). Special mention goes to the following Villanova athletes who achieved first place in their events:

Year 7 – 12 aggregate = 7th

(U12 – 6th; U13 – 8th; U14 – 4th; U15 – 7th; U16 – 2nd; Open – 8th)

AIC Track and Field - Best athlete on the day of the Championships were:

Junior School - Harvey Anderson

Middle School - Mitchell Rieck

Senior School - Luke Barton

Finally, special mention goes to staff members, Ms Bayley, Ms Dewis, Mrs Dillon, Mrs Rouhliadeff, Ms Smith-Rowan, Mr Levander, Mr Pascoe, Mr Rolls, Mr Schiavo, Mr Valentine, Old Boy Nic Elsey and all the outside coaches who generously contributed their time and expertise to coaching the Track and Field squad this year. Also, a special thanks to the sports department of Mrs Schofield, Mr Stariha, Mr Everding and Mr McLauchlan for their dedication towards co-ordinating the season, including assisting with coaching and arranging for the squad to train at QSAC.

AIC VOLLEYBALL REPORT

MS BARBARA DEWIS / AIC VOLLEYBALL CO-ORDINATOR

Villanova entered 19 teams into the 2019 AIC Volleyball Competition. Although no premierships were won, the following teams placed well on the ladder - 8C (2nd), 10A (3rd) and Firsts (4th). Villanova’s overall position on the aggregate table was seventh which was the same result as 2018. Most games throughout the season were won or lost by a set. With these losses, the players' mental capacity is tested to overcome the excitement of close competition.

Coaches for the 19 teams were presented with a daunting and challenging task of selecting players from a high number of boys vying for places in a team. It is always disappointing for those who miss selection but they will come back the following year refreshed and upskilled in certain areas of the game.

The final round against St Laurence’s proved to be tough but all games were played in the manner of true sportsmanship. Although some games did not go our way, it was up to the 1sts to finish on a winning note and they delivered. It certainly was good to see the Firsts get up with many of them playing their final game of volleyball for Villanova. Strong hitting and defence saved the day, with vocal support from the large crowd that included several Old Boys cheering the players on. It was the best crowd of the season. A great effort by all to farewell the Year 12s. I am sure the players appreciated your presence at the game.

With another season over, Villanova volleyball begins to build again in readiness for the next. Before this occurs, Villanova will have the opportunity to participate in

several tournaments such as the Junior Schools Cup and National Schools Cup. It is these outside competitions where players can hone their skills and develop as team players for their respective team.

This year we farewell several families who have been involved in Villanova volleyball since Year 7. They include the Conway (Matt), Boxall (Matthew), Harding (Tyler), Agnew (Robert), Ryan (Harry), Cristina (Sam), Civaterese (Josh), Caltabiano (Louis), Creevey (Bailey), Barwick (Will), Nevis (Rhys), Buckley-Sammut (Tom) and Fontana (Marc) families.

In concluding this report, I would like to thank all coaches for their time and patience in sharing their knowledge of the game to the players. A special mention must go to Mr David Dixon (7B) and Mr Alex Poulsen (10C)

VINCIT VERITAS / TRUTH CONQUERS 131

for putting their hand up to coach teams at the very end of the season to fill the void left by previous coaches who had to attend to unexpected family matters. Thanks also to the players, and their parents especially, who attend each game to give support and encouragement. There are a number of parents who helped in the canteen, cooked the barbecue, and prepared other food to feed the hordes who attended the games.

An extra special thanks to Mrs Suzi Korander-Matheson, Mrs Robyn Gunning and Mrs Simone Cole for their tireless effort to ensure the canteen is up and running each home game; Mr Rob Abraham and Mr Mick Twaddell for firing up the barbecue each week during the season; Mr Anthony Kemp for overseeing the home games for Year 7, 8 and 9, and Mr Blake McLauchlan for co-ordinating scorers, referees and duty

rosters for players each week. Villanova volleyball is grateful and appreciative of the time given by staff members, coaches and parents to ensure each home game runs smoothly. I personally would like to thank everyone for their time, patience and tolerance of my time as Volleyball Coordinator. I enjoyed the time in the role and had the opportunity to see many players improve their skills each game.

AIC WATER POLO REPORT

MRS JUANITA JACOBS / AIC WATER POLO CO-ORDINATOR

Fantastic job to all the boys who competed in the inaugural AIC Water Polo Competition. It was a great turnout and a lot of fun on the day with the Year 7/8 and 9/10 teams filled to capacity. Participation in the water polo team is seen as a reward for the commitment of the swimmers to Villanova swimming during the year and is a great way to kick start the 2020 swimming season. This year water polo was run as a single day tournament which meant that we were able to have greater parent involvement and support. The success of the new format will hopefully mean that it can be expanded next year, and the premierships can extend into the younger year levels.

We were fortunate to secure the assistance of some very experienced coaching staff. Training sessions were conducted by our coach Mr Mark Olivier before the competition and Henry Lamb (a St Laurence’s Old Boy turned Wildcat for the day) guided the teams with Mr Olivier on

the day. We are most grateful to both these men for their generosity in giving up their weekends and sharing their expertise. Many thanks also to Mrs Libby Humphries who helped on the day with time keeping and scoring.

Each of the Villanova teams were highly competitive, with the Year 7/8 team only losing one game by a single point and the Year 9/10 team going through the day undefeated. The Open Team were competing in a premiership competition, and won their first game, but narrowly lost their final game. They lost to a very experienced and well drilled St Laurence’s team in their second match. St Laurence’s went on to win the inaugural AIC Water Polo premiership.

The standard of competition was very high and there were some amazing players on each of the Villanova teams. The strength of the Villanova teams was clearly evident

in the scores and hopefully in our future tournaments, we will continue to become more competitive. Some of the other teams have a lot of experienced water polo club players. Most of the Villanova teams only had two or three club players, with the other swimmers not always knowing the rules, but having fun and learning a lot. As we become more experienced in the sport, I am confident that we will become even more dominant in the pool. The players are most keen to continue to play, to continue to learn and work towards winning the competition next year. We will work with the coaches earlier in the year to be better prepared, and to ensure that we have a few more basic skills and awareness of the rules. We have the talent, now we need to develop the skills and finesse of the sport. Thank you to all the players, parents, coaches and the Sports Office for your support of water polo in 2019. We look forward to building on our success in 2020.
