We are excited to announce that we have a new platform for Old Ignatians to connect and grow their professional and personal networks. Being an Ignatian is a unique and special journey that you carry beyond your schooling. This is the place to promote your businesses, advertise or share job opportunities, showcase achievements and reconnect with your peers.

Old Ignatians' Association LinkedIn Group 

Saint Ignatius' College Official LinkedIn Page

The Old Ignatians' Association membership spans close to 70 years. As president, I am privileged alongside the OIA Committee and my predecessors to be custodian to close to 8000 members. Our membership community and our responsibility to support our members will endure beyond my lifetime. The association continues to strengthen ties with the College community, including Parents and Friends and the Foundation. Our sporting groups celebrate connection on and off the field in building trusting and enduring friendships, and celebrate their ongoing connection with the College as Old Ignatians.
 
Reflecting on the outstanding work we all do in community engagement, I am excited to share with the community and our alumni that the OIA, with support from the Advancement Office, will be developing a Pilot Executive Mentor Program specifically for our alumni. With a rich and diverse membership group across many industries, we are calling for expressions of interest from our community for executive mentors to be part of the development of the program. 
 
This is an opportune time for the association to support the next generation of leaders. Reflecting on my own journey, I place immense value on my time at Saint Ignatius’ College. Striving for the magis and cura personalis was at the heart of my education, and has influenced my own leadership journey. I am proud to see my own children benefit from the same ethos, noting the College’s strategic plan and priority to deliver human excellence is exciting. As an affiliate community group, we can as a collective continue to do this with our alumni. I am confident the OIA will deliver a unique experience to our community and drive sustainable engagement across different generations.

To register your interest in becoming a founding mentor or to seek further information, please contact myself or Belinda Mears, Advancement Manager, b.mears@ignatius.sa.edu.au

Old Ignatian Inspiring Students

Recently on the Canberra Tour, the Year 9s were fortunate to be addressed by the Director of the Australian War Memorial and Old Ignatian, Dr Brendan Nelson (Class of 1975). In an inspirational message encouraging the students to make the most of their lives for the good of others, Dr Nelson reflected on the core messages of his Jesuit education. This included the value of having the “imaginative capacity that enables us to see the world through the eyes of others”.

Thank you from the Court Theatre Company

Court Theatre Company’s season of The Importance of Being Earnest has come to a close. We wish to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who came to watch and support our show.
