SACOBU President’s Report<br />
Having recently ‘reconnected’ with <strong>St</strong> Aloysius’ <strong>College</strong><br />
following an absence <strong>of</strong> twenty odd years, I am<br />
again experiencing what a truly great <strong>College</strong> this is,<br />
and has become. I am more convinced than ever to have<br />
my two sons educated here within the Aloysian Family. I<br />
want them to experience what my father, my brothers and<br />
I have experienced and to develop and grow as ‘men <strong>for</strong><br />
others’. It is no wonder so many Old Boys want their sons<br />
also to share the Aloysian experience. <strong>The</strong>re is a palpable<br />
‘love’ <strong>of</strong> the school shown by so many Old Boys, their<br />
wives and families. <strong>The</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> men that the school<br />
continually creates and moulds into being holistic, wellrounded<br />
individuals sets the <strong>College</strong> apart from all others.<br />
<strong>The</strong> young men I have met are a credit to all involved.<br />
Intelligent, articulate, responsible, but with a sense <strong>of</strong> place<br />
and respect and a need to reach out to others, appears still<br />
to be the hallmark <strong>of</strong> an Aloysian. Fr Ross Jones SJ and Fr<br />
Chris Middleton SJ are exceptional leaders who continue<br />
to guide the <strong>College</strong> to address the issues <strong>of</strong> today while<br />
planning <strong>for</strong> the future. <strong>The</strong>y and the teaching staff are to<br />
be congratulated <strong>for</strong> the constancy <strong>of</strong> high calibre men<br />
from the <strong>College</strong>. I would also like to thank Fr Ross and Fr<br />
Chris <strong>for</strong> their continued support <strong>of</strong> SACOBU. To us there<br />
is no boundary between the <strong>College</strong> today and yesterday<br />
– simply a few grey hairs.<br />
Sons <strong>of</strong> Old Boys<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>College</strong> currently has more than 130 sons <strong>of</strong><br />
Old Boys as students. This figure continues to grow,<br />
showing an attitude by the Collage to favour sons <strong>of</strong><br />
Old Boys. Selection criteria has to be met and if you require<br />
advice on these, simply contact myself or the <strong>College</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
amplification. A significant number <strong>of</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> Old Boys just<br />
happen to be in Year 12 this year. <strong>The</strong>y are:<br />

17 November 2008<br />
One <strong>of</strong> my first duties as President was to lay a wreath on<br />
your behalf at the memorable ANZAC Day Commemoration<br />
in the Chapel led by Mrs Caroline Linschoten. At this emotioncharged<br />
event we paid tribute to all fallen Aloysians by name<br />
over the many wars. <strong>The</strong> singing and ceremony was special<br />
and hopefully next year we can open the event to all Old<br />
Boys to share in this tribute.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inaugural ‘Old Boy Dads Pizza and Drinks Night’<br />
was a great success with a spirited evening spent making<br />
new acquaintances or renewing others. Old Boys’ dads<br />
mixed with those new to the <strong>College</strong> and enjoyed the<br />
evening magic <strong>of</strong> our Harbour over a beer or two. So<br />
enjoyable was the night, by popular demand, a second is<br />
being planned <strong>for</strong> the 17 November, so come along – all<br />
Old Boy fathers with sons at the school are welcome. Meet<br />
some colleagues and new fathers, and share your Aloysian<br />
experiences.<br />
