I invite you to pray the Rosary in the College Chapel on Monday 17 November at<br />
6.00 pm and to attend the funeral on Tuesday 18 November in the College Chapel.<br />
The funeral will commence at 1.00 pm.<br />
Fr Paul Siebert O.M.I. is in the Mater Hospital and is in quite poor health.<br />
There are numerous items this week and I have to put aside the third and final instalment on Fr Lewy’s<br />
story until next week.<br />
PRESENTATION EVENING<br />
The Presentation Evening was 2¼ hours of wonderment. It showcased the spirit and joy that both the<br />
staff and students have and celebrated the year that was and recalled who we are and what we could<br />
be. The evening was filled with much joy and laughter. The MC boys were extremely flamboyant and<br />
were a pleasure to listen to; credit to the people who wrote their script! The wedding singer<br />
performance was entertaining. The awards were inspiring and I trust that they bring forth effort and the<br />
ambition for success in all the students who attended.<br />
I congratulate all those who worked to make the night possible, especially Mr David Cockburn, Mr<br />
Darren Harbinson, Mrs Karen Corkeron, Mr Sam Ould, Mr Damian Courtney and Mr Ross King. They<br />
did a terrific job.<br />
I thank those who were able to come and also those who helped by returning tickets for seats that<br />
were not needed. A full list of the major award winners will be in next week’s newsletter.<br />
LAST DAY YEAR 12 STUDENTS,<br />
FAREWELL YEAR 12 ASSEMBLY<br />
AND MORNING TEA<br />
Friday 21 November<br />

Sciacca Memorial Award for Distinction in<br />
Studies with Bishop Elect Mark Edwards<br />
Fr Mark Edwards O.M.I.<br />
Rector<br />
OBLATE TRIENNIUM<br />
Year 1:<br />
“A New Heart: Life in<br />
Apostolic Community”<br />
MARK EDWARDS BISHOP ELECT<br />
On Friday night at 9.00 pm Brisbane time, it was announced that Pope Francis had appointed me<br />
auxiliary bishop of Melbourne and titular bishop of Garba in Numidia. This has happened very quickly<br />
and I think it has come as a bit of a shock for all of us. The Papal Nuncio (the Pope’s ambassador in<br />
Australia) informed me of this on Saturday 1 November.<br />
The news was embargoed until noon, Friday in Rome. (9.00 pm Brisbane time). When it did come out<br />
and spread rapidly via Facebook, there were those who thought that it was a last day prank by the<br />
Year 12 students and laughed heartily at it.<br />
The Ordination will be held at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Melbourne on Wednesday 17 December at 7.30<br />
pm. All are welcome. I hope to be able to be at Iona to the end of the academic year.<br />
This is a dramatic change of ministry for me. However, St Eugene was very clear that serving the<br />
Church was the number one priority for Oblates. When Fr Grandin, later Bishop Grandin the great<br />
Canadian Oblate missionary bishop who is patron of our house of the same name, wrote to St Eugene<br />
asking if it was OK for an Oblate to accept ordination as a bishop, St Eugene replied along the lines of<br />
“I am a bishop and an Oblate – and a very good one. You should accept.” That has been helpful for<br />
me. Being a bishop will be a new way for me to live out my Oblation to God.<br />
I feel sadness as I love this community and really believe in the school and what it does. At other<br />
times, I am excited about the new role. As members of an Oblate community, you and I have the<br />
…/2
FROM THE RECTOR cont...<br />
support and example of the Virgin Mary renowned for her openness to<br />
the will of God and her readiness to accept a mysterious future. I hold<br />
that close at this time.<br />
It is an honour for me to be appointed<br />
bishop but it is also an honour for the<br />
Oblates and for Iona and all our works.<br />
I hope you feel this honour too. As<br />
well, I thank you for the many texts,<br />
emails and calls I have received and<br />
for their support and congratulations.<br />
A highlight for me has been the<br />
blessing prayed over me by Fr Paul<br />
Siebert. As I knelt beside his hospital<br />
bed, he prayed for the gifts of wisdom<br />
and courage for me.<br />
An auxiliary bishop helps out a bishop who has a large diocese. There<br />
are four auxiliaries in Melbourne and each gets a region. I will probably<br />
have the eastern region with approximately seventy parishes and<br />
preparing and celebrating confirmations will be a big part of my work<br />
(perhaps fifty confirmation ceremonies a year) as well as visiting<br />
parishes and supporting and encouraging priests.<br />
The Oblates have made it clear that Iona is a valued and important work<br />
in our Province and that they intend to maintain Oblate leadership at the<br />
College. We are grateful to the Provincial and Council for their care for<br />
us.<br />
EMILIA KEENE<br />
NEITA EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD<br />
We congratulate Emilia Keene on<br />
being the second Iona staff member<br />
to be awarded this excellence in<br />
teaching award after Mr Simmers in<br />
2012.<br />
Mrs Keene loves teaching and loves<br />
teaching at Iona College as<br />
evidenced by the fact that she is still<br />
here at her first placement twelve<br />
years later and that she is still<br />
enthusiastic and excited about her<br />
work here. Ironically, teaching was<br />
her back up at Drama school and<br />
she reluctantly entered her first prac<br />
as a twenty-one year old female at<br />
this all-boys Catholic school. And<br />
she loved it. The atmosphere was challenging, fast paced and<br />
electric. Every lesson was different, every cohort presented with new<br />
hurdles, new joys to share in, new personalities to get to know. She was<br />
posted back to the same school for her following prac placements and<br />
became an official member of the College community six months after<br />
graduating.<br />
Mrs Keene tries really hard to ensure that all of her students feel noticed<br />
and valued as individuals. She enjoys supporting students as they learn<br />
new things, gain confidence and overcome their own personal, social<br />
and academic trials. Their success is her success and their buzz is her<br />
buzz.<br />
Well done, Mrs Keene.<br />
SURF LIFE SAVING QUEENSLAND PRESENTATION<br />
Surf Life Saving Queensland’s Chief Operating Officer Mr George Hill<br />
made a special presentation at our College assembly on Tuesday. Our<br />
five students who saved the life of St Lawrence’s student Perry King<br />
during a cross country meet at Iona were recognised for their<br />
achievement.<br />
Kyle Wegner, Joseph Curtin, Perry King, Jim Ham, Daniel Mole,<br />
and Scott L’Barrow .<br />
BR PAUL SHEN O.M.I.<br />
Please pray for Br Paul Shen O.M.I.<br />
who will be ordained as deacon on the<br />
16 November in our Parish of Sha Tin<br />
in Hong Kong. After training as a<br />
diocesan seminarian, Br Paul took<br />
First Vows as an Oblate in 2011 and<br />
made his Perpetual Oblation on 8<br />
September <strong>2014</strong>. He is the first<br />
Chinese born Oblate to make<br />
Perpetual Oblation in forty years.<br />
Br Paul will spend a few months in<br />
Australia in January in 2015 to<br />
familiarize himself with some of the<br />
aspects of our Province before<br />
returning to China to be ordained a<br />
Priest next year.<br />
OLD BOYS DAY<br />
Iona College Old Boys Barefoot Bowls will be held tomorrow at Wynnum<br />
Manly Leagues Club. Cost is $20 per person which includes Barefoot<br />
Bowls and a rib fillet steak burger. This will be a great time to catch up<br />

UPGRADE PATHWAYS<br />
‘Upgrading’ means doing something that will give you a better tertiary<br />
entrance score to help you gain entry into your preferred course, usually<br />
in the following year. Some of these pathways can be built into your<br />
current list of QTAC preferences (e.g. the ‘foot-in-the-door’ courses).<br />
QTAC has a very useful information sheet on upgrading pathways at<br />
http://www.qtac.edu.au/InfoSheets/UpgradingPathways.html.<br />
When choosing an upgrade pathway you need to consider the following:<br />
Does the university to which I wish to gain entry accept this<br />
pathway<br />
Will this pathway give me a good enough score to get into the<br />
course I want<br />
Will this pathway give me credit into the course in which I wish to<br />
gain entry<br />
Does this pathway match my learning style (i.e. will I be successful<br />
in it)<br />
How much does this pathway cost<br />
How long will this pathway take me to upgrade sufficiently to gain<br />
entry to the course I want<br />
Will this pathway give me the prerequisite subjects I need to gain<br />
entry to the course I want if I don’t already have them<br />

bridging and pathway programs.<br />

THE BENEFITS OF TAKING A GAP YEAR<br />
The following article is adapted from the October <strong>2014</strong> myfuture<br />
news. You can access this newsletter at http://www.myfuture.edu.au/<br />
tools-and-resources/resources-for-career-practitioners/myfuture-news.<br />
With Year 12 students facing final exams all around the country, much<br />
thinking is going into planning the next stage in life. Taking some time<br />
out between school and formal education or work – taking a ‘gap year’<br />
as it’s sometimes known – is becoming increasingly common, with more<br />
school leavers opting to defer their place in tertiary education or<br />
training. If you’re considering a gap year, here are some reasons why it<br />
could be a good idea for you.<br />
If you’re unsure about your future direction, having the time to be<br />
clear on what you want to do can be valuable. This could lead you<br />
to being more focused when going back to study later on.<br />
Using the time during a gap year to get some work experience or<br />
gain skills can stand you in good stead in your future studies and<br />
career.<br />
Volunteering during a gap year can be very satisfying and not only<br />
offers new skills and diverse experiences but also can look good on<br />
your resume and add to your employability.<br />
Many people taking a gap year travel interstate or overseas in order<br />
to volunteer or seek work experience. If this is an option you want to<br />
pursue, remember to stay safe. The Australian Government's<br />
Smartraveller advisory service at http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/<br />
contains valuable advice and information on staying safe overseas.<br />
Taking a gap year is not for everyone, and in order to get the most out of<br />
the experience you need to plan your time well. It is one option among<br />
many, but offers many benefits. For further information and links to<br />
selected programs, click on ‘I’m keen to take a gap year’ on the myfuture<br />
website at http://www.myfuture.edu.au/getting-started/discover-whatcareer-paths-are-available.<br />
BRIDGING COURSES AT THE QUT<br />
One way to meet assumed knowledge requirements is to successfully<br />
complete an approved bridging course in the required subject/s. QUT<br />
offers bridging courses in Chemistry, Physics and Maths B. Maths B<br />
can be undertaken during the Summer Semester starting on 17<br />
November <strong>2014</strong> or during Semester one in 2015. Chemistry is offered<br />
in Semester one 2015 and Physics is offered online. Find out more at<br />
https://www.qut.edu.au/study/short-courses-and-professionaldevelopment/science-and-mathematics.<br />
Other universities may accept<br />
QUT bridging courses for meeting subject prerequisites for their<br />
courses. You need to check with the relevant institution.<br />

IONA SPORT - A YEAR IN REVIEW<br />
With <strong>2014</strong> Iona Sport drawing to a close, it is worthwhile to reflect<br />
on our directions. Inter-house sport again served the important<br />
purpose of participation and enjoyment. AIC competition was again<br />
enthralling and character building—it was an arena that saw Marist<br />
College Ashgrove dominate, surrounded by Colleges who see the<br />
value in strong sporting programs. There is no doubt that the<br />
improvement exhibited by some Colleges has meant that our<br />
traditional strongholds are now threatened by our opposition. We<br />
will need to improve our sport via resources, coaching, high rates of<br />
participation and continued enjoyment—it is not an easy task but<br />
we will show the necessary “beast” to remain strong. Our 2015<br />
sporting mantra will be “get moving, get coached, get enjoyment”.<br />
We had forty-seven senior sportsmen represent at regional level;<br />
twenty-four at Queensland level and four senior athletes gain<br />
individual medals at national championships.<br />
Mr Rick Nalatu continues to guide our High Performance Program<br />
