"Eight years on and I still look back at the Indian pilgrimage with the fondest of memories. It was the people, both the group I was lucky enough to be apart of and the ones we met along the way that I will be forever humbled by. Being apart of the pilgrimage invited me to see the world through a different lends and provided me with some greater perspective. For that, I will be forever grateful that I was one of the pilgrims on the trip of 09'." - Claudia Sheens, Saint Ignatius' College Adelaide, 2009

Congratulations to Old Ignatian, Elaine Bensted (Class of 1980) the Chief Executive of Zoos SA, who recently received the Telstra South Australian For Purpose And Social Enterprise Award for 2017.
Elaine Bensted grew up with dreams of becoming a veterinarian. As CEO of Zoos South Australia, she plays an important role in animal conservation not just across Australia but the globe, during a time when species are being wiped out at an alarming rate.
When Elaine commenced her duties with Adelaide and Monarto Zoos in 2012, Zoos SA was in a precarious financial position. Elaine’s implementation of a five-year business plan, and a 20-year master plan, has seen the organisation hit new membership records and increase its visitor numbers past half a million annually.
Zoos SA is a conservation charity, so Elaine’s skills in negotiation and relationship management are essential for its efforts in preserving the animal world.
“Our mission to connect people with nature and save species from extinction has never been more important. The animals we've returned to the wild wouldn't be there without us.”
The Old Ignatians’ Association would like to welcome its newest cohort to the pack - Welcome Class of 2017!

Speech Day was also a very special day for Old Ignatian, Julian Ferraretto who was awarded College Blue for his achievements in the field of Music! What an inspiration - Congratulations Julian!
Julian started at the Junior School in 1981 in Year 4. His three siblings are also old scholars and in addition, his father Ennio was a well-respected teacher of Italian at the College during the 1970’s and 1980’s.
In his time at the College Julian was an exceptional violinist. His talent was acknowledged through his appointment as College Music Captain in 1989.
Julian went on to study at the Elder Conservatorium. Here he was the recipient of several awards including the John Robert Mitchell Violin Prize and Top Undergraduate (Jazz).
In 1999 he won a South Australian Music Industry Award for Best Folk Music Act with band Aire Flamenco.
Julian’s musical talents have enabled him to work internationally. He has performed at every major European Jazz Festival together with many of the UK’s most important contemporary jazz and world music bands.
Locally, Julian has collaborated on arranging, recording, touring and education projects. In February 2016 he curated the first of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Gigs at Grainger’ series. The sell-out concert, titled “Gypsy to Swing – The Journey of Jazz Violin”, saw Julian in the roles of soloist, arranger, orchestrator and composer.
This year he opened the series once again composing a new suite: “Have Violin Will Travel”. This was recorded and later broadcast on ABC Classic FM.
Julian’s work in education includes improvisation and creative music workshops for London Music Master’s Bridge Project, Wigmore Hall, The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Nexus Arts and the Adelaide Secondary School of English.
Julian also works with a number of local schools to create and perform student led works. Recently as the Artist in Residence at the Junior School, where he worked with students to develop their love and passion for music.
As a composer, Julian writes for film, television, radio and theatre and his works have premiered at the Sydney Opera House, The Adelaide Festival and Wigmore Hall’s ‘Time at the Bar’ series.
There is no doubt that Julian’s accomplishments to date as violin soloist, arranger, orchestrator and composer make him a worthy recipient of a College Blue.
Old Ignatian Dr Mark Henschke OAM was the Guest Speaker today at the 2017 Speech Day. Dr Henschke has the distinction of being the first College Captain at the Athelstone campus in 1967. For the majority of his working life Dr Henschke has worked as a rural GP/obstetrician in northern NSW. In 2006 he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his services to medicine as a GP and to the community of Armidale. He now resides and works in Coffs Harbour where he is a senior lecturer at the Rural Clinical School (University of NSW), and maintains his clinical skills with work in the emergency department of the Coffs Harbour Hospital.

By Brunette Lenkić (Class of 1980) & Rob Hess
Since the inception of Australian Rules football in the 1850s, women have been eager to be involved. More than 100 years ago, they began taking to the field. However, their stories have largely been invisible – sidelined, ignored or forgotten.
PLAY ON is a meticulously researched history of women’s football and Brunette and her co-author, Rob Hess, interviewed players from the 1940s right through to the present day about the struggles that they’ve had to face to have their game recognised by the establishment. Tracing the development and popularity of the women’s game, and with the inaugural women’s league commencing in 2017, PLAY ON is a timely book that players, fans and history buffs will not want to miss.
The book signing for Play On! is on Friday, 30 Sept at midday at Dymocks Rundle Mall store.

After losing the toss and bowling first last night, the Old Ignatians Cricket Club (OICC) were set 102 to win, but narrowly lost in a nail biter, and in fading light, by 2 runs after needing 7 runs from the last over. A youthful OICC side really pushed a high calibre Hectorville team (rumoured to have an ex junior Sri Lankan international) and drew many positives from the performance.
Thank you to the OICC for letting the OIA host a BBQ at the match and hopefully this will now lead the path for many more Old Ignatian Sporting Club and OIA opportunities to come!
The Founding Scholars of the College were up at the Senior School on Sunday the 16th of November to participate in Mass with Bishop Greg O'Kelly SJ and Father Rob Davoren SJ.

On Sunday 21st September, the Old Ignatians Soccer Club played off in its first Cup Final since 2009. Their opposition was Elizabeth Downs, a powerhouse from the Sunday Division 1 league and interestingly, the same team OISC faced back in 2002 in the Cup Final. OISC were victorious on that day and two members of the 2002 squad again suited up for Sunday’s final; Old Scholars Ryan Dew (Class of 2000) and Shaun George (Class of 2001).
2014 has undoubtedly been a disappointing season for the soccer club, but Sunday’s 6-1 thrashing allowed the club to finish the season on a high. The winning cup squad featured a host of Old Scholars and was coached by former College Captain Daniel Rossi (Class of 2004).
Congratulations must go out to all involved with victory. Special thanks also to the hard working OISC committee and the supporters who came out to support the side.
Go you Wolves!!
