Dear Parents
Welcome back for Term 2. The break has been refreshing and now so many opportunities beckon. I
am particularly excited about the Year 12 retreat which is held this week.
Thank you and congratulations to those families who were able to be involved in Easter ceremonies.
Easter is a key moment in our world’s history and engaging ourselves in this is central to why we make
the sacrifice to send our sons to Iona.
I attended the Iona Passion Play on Good Friday and saw many Iona faces. I am sure that many
others were there on Holy Saturday evening. It was a lovely way both to be a part of Iona’s long
history and to enter into the Easter experience.
THE POPE SHOWERED ME WITH INDESCRIBABLE KINDNESS
Over the last few weeks we have been accompanying Fr Eugene de Mazenod (as he was then) in his
journey to Rome to get Papal approval for our Congregation. St Eugene’s diary entries and letters give
a clear vision of his personality and values. This is also important to us because the school community
we experience today is a direct result of this encounter. We resume our story with St Eugene’s
meeting with the Pope.
In his private journal, Eugene jotted down his impressions of the morning, as he recalled them. He
cannot resist noting his amusement at the Dominican priest in the audience room whose discomfort in
waiting was clear as his empty stomach rumbled, and whose face must have been a picture when
Eugene was called in to the Pope before him!
I will not begin to transcribe everything that happened during that precious audience which lasted for
more than half an hour, to the undoubted regret of the Dominican Father who had not had lunch, nor
more than I who had been fasting.
His experience of the person of the Pope was one of great kindness
The Pope showered me with indescribable kindness. He talked for a long time and listened very
attentively when it was my turn to speak. We talked in Italian and he always referred to me in the third
person, the most polite form. He gave me very detailed explanations where he could have abbreviated
things.
Roman Diary, 20 December 1825
To Henri Tempier he confided:
It would be impossible for me to relate to you all that was said, still less to describe to you the
goodness, the pleasant manner and courtesy of the sovereign Pontiff.
I was kneeling beside him. Several times he motioned for me to rise; I did not wish to, I was
comfortable at his feet, besides I leaned against the desk. I could have remained longer in this position
without discomfort.
Letter to Henri Tempier, 22 December 1825
“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
Mark Twain
CANONISATION OF POPE JOHN XIII AND JOHN PAUL II
This ceremony, which I hope will be broadcast from Rome, will be both beautiful and important for us.
Many of us will have clear memories of Pope John Paul II and we can celebrate how important he was
for us and for our Church. I also encourage you to pray to him for your family and its needs.
ANZAC DAY
The College had a ceremony of remembrance both at Iona and on the Year 12 camp this morning.
Also, it is becoming traditional that local Iona students meet with me at Manly State School at 7.30 am
on ANZAC Day to march in the school parade at 8.00 am. Your son is welcome to join us.

JUNIOR SCHOOL NEWS
WELCOME BACK TO ALL FAMILIES
I hope the Easter bunny visited your homes and by the looks of things,
he visited the 5J classroom over the holidays as well. Unfortunately he
forgot to leave and to the surprise of Mrs Jones and the boys in 5J he
was still there on Tuesday morning. Mrs Jones and her class are glad to
be back in their room which has now been cleaned thoroughly and are
ready for a term of good work.
TERM 2 SPORT
Term 2 sport commences this Saturday with the majority of boys
involved in either rugby, football or cross country, some wearing the
black and white for the first time. This week’s rugby and football trial is
against Ashgrove here at Iona and we will be opening up the canteens
next to Davine Oval and at the Football (soccer) fields. We would
greatly appreciate parent support to help man these canteens this week.
If you are able to help, even for a short time, could you please contact
Mrs Kerri Stariha on 3893 8805. Our home games for the Junior School
this term are on Saturday 3 May, 24 May and 14 June and your support
in assisting the Sports Supporters with the canteens will be greatly
appreciated.

possible to attend.

required to find their own transport home on the completion of their
race. A bus will be returning to the college at about 5.00 pm for those

IONA SPORT….
”Good sport comes from anywhere”
Winter sport sees football, rugby, chess and cross country all thriving.
Our trial weekend against Ashgrove sets the standard for the winter
months and begins with the lower grade teams where ‘good sport
abounds’. We need to plough development and enjoyment into all our
teams so that our whole community benefits from the winter
involvement. All coaches, managers, referees, players and spectators
are to make the right decisions on and off the field throughout winter—
playing and supporting with the right moral compass will benefit our
community.
INTERHOUSE CROSS COUNTRY
The last day of Term 1 saw the initial part of interhouse cross country
being held. The races for Years 8 - 10 were held and the results are
below. TO BE COFIRMED: Years 11 and 12 races to be held in Week
4 of this term during house periods.

RUGBY
Our Harlequin squad completed a training camp at the Gold Coast.
Many thanks to Mr Turner, Mr Phillips and Mr McBride for making the
camp successful. The trial against St Laurences at the start of the
vacation was useful and the results are as follows:
1st XV won
16A won 17-5 16B lost 10-15
15A won 35-10 15B lost 14-19
14A won 25-15 14B won 20-15

FOOTBALL
It was also a good ‘hit out’ against St Laurences for the football teams
on April 5. Unfortunately St Laurences were too strong for us in all
games except for the 15As and 14 As.
SAILING
At the State Team Racing Championships held over Easter, the Iona
Black team gained second place behind Brisbane Grammar and our
White team placed 6th. Our team now moves onto the Nationals in
Sydney over the June/July break. A huge thank you to the following
people who assist tremendously with the sailing program:

HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT
Jack Skinner (Year 9) has just returned from the UK where he trialled
for Westham Football Club. He has been invited back for another six
week trial that will happen again sometime this year. This is
outstanding and we wish Jack all the best for his coming year of
football.
IONA SPORTS SUPPORTERS
The winter seasons are the biggest for the Iona Sports Supporters. It
takes lots of hands on deck to ensure we provide the quality hospitality
Iona is known for. We are now looking for a person or group that can
assist in convening and operating the canteens for both CIC and AIC
Football. The goods are purchased by the Sports Supporters, we need
the manpower! If you are able to assist please contact either Mrs Sue
Carroll or Mrs Kerri Stariha at the College. Without parental help, the
football (soccer) canteens will not open.
