Saint Ignatius College Geelong
Article by Mrs Claire Hewitt
It was a beautiful balmy November evening that 70 Saint Ignatius College alumni, 'Old Ignatians', met up again at the Inn hotel in Geelong amidst the swaying blue, red and white helium balloons.
12 staff were thrilled to catch-up with their “old” students and we all enjoyed hearing the stories and about where everyone is these days and what they are doing whether it be studying, travelling or working.
The Year 12 Retreat banner, taken out of storage, was hung proudly at the venue. It had been stamped with the painted hands of students on their Retreat held early in 2013. We all enjoyed watching their Year 12 video which certainly brought back very fond memories.
The organizing committee of Paddy Malone, Bridget England and Philip Jacovides were justifiably proud of their efforts to engage and enthuse the cohort on social media and arrange the event. The initial meeting to organise the reunion began way back in early April this year and their enthusiasm escalated during the year.
Some snippets from a few of them:
Two have recently become engaged and apparently to each other! Will confirm later!
Jack - Energy Australia Consultant, Carly - Exercise Science, Tim - Medicine at Box Hill Hospital, Nathan - Social Worker, Chloe - Paediatric Nurse, Bridget - Nurse also at Royal Melbourne, Paddy - studying Master of Commerce, Chelsey - Arts/Communications, Philip - Electrician, Jackson - Double Major in Finance and Economics, lived at Newman College and about to have some time off travelling the world! Smithy - Mechanical Engineering, Josh - Data Analyst, Tom - Carpenter, Kaitlyn - Beauty Therapist and Hairdresser, Sean - Health Science.
Paddy, Bridget and Philip welcomed the group with a few words as did, by public demand, 2013 Year 12 Coordinator, Joe Mclean who was effusive in remembering them well and recalled their valued contributions to the College and the camaraderie they all shared!
Photos were studied carefully and the chatter flowed and many reconnections made.
All received a ‘goodie’ bag containing a Mars bar or two and the obligatory biro! Also included was a reminder to “Like us ‘ on Facebook, encouragement to send in 25 words or more to sicgalumni@ignatius.vic.edu.au about “ Where are You now” and nominations for the SPOCA alumni award and Old Ignatian Loyola awards and expressions of interest in becoming a member on the Old Ignatian Young Leaders group.
