    Padua Old Boys’ Newsletter ISSUE Spring/Summer 2014 “Where there is love and wisdom there is neither fear nor ignorance” St Francis of Assisi THINGS FRANCISCAN Dear Friends Never before has the concept of leadership been more important than it is to- day. We have seen leadership exercised in its different modes, by Pope Francis, and our politicians like Tony Abbott, Bill Shorten and Clive Palmer. The study of leadership has been a focus for our Year 11 students this year. The boys have been exposed to hierarchical, collaborative, consultative, and servant leadership models, as the boys prepared to take on leader- ship roles as 2015 Seniors. Mr. Ben Lowrie, Vice Rector (Pastoral Care) devised a program and a booklet the boys were to complete if they wanted to be Senior Leaders for next year. The applicants spoke to all the staff, and on Year 11 camp to their friends, about the qualities they had that would fit them for leadership responsibilities in a Franciscan school. Mr Out addressed the boys on the Year 11 Camp and pre- pared them for nominating among themselves those they thought would make suitable leaders. Finally, Mr Out choose the following boys as leaders in 2015: College Captain - Tom Fall. Vice-Captain - Jack Peoples House Leaders - Finbar Delbridge, Harrison Pankhurst, Oscar Baker, Michael Hinds, Matthew Hurley, Ryan Pitts, Ethan Figueiredo, Jacob Smith, Rhys Kelly, Zachary O'Donnell, Patrick Benstead, Michael O'Shea The other leaders caring for other aspects of College life are (Committees) - Jack Dickson, Zachary Hughes, Karl Garufi and Kyle Britto. Four of the boys had their fathers attend Padua! As 'Franciscans’ we all celebrate in a special way the birth of Jesus, as we recall Saint Francis building the first crib at Greccio.

Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • Stadiums Taskforce Report
    4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.
