ST. IGNATIUS CATHOLIC SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
March 21st, 2013
Volume 6, Issue 7
FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
“All that we do is but a drop of water in the ocean. But if we didn’t contribute that drop,
there would be no ocean.”
- Mother Theresa
Dear Friends,
It has been a whirlwind term and we’ve even picked up more speed in the March Madness. This
month’s newsletter demonstrates the variety, quality and intensity of events and spectacles and I’ll allow
you the pleasure of reviewing the month in full colour inside.
It is important to step back and celebrate the additional contributions made by staff, parents and students
who are helping us build a positive, learning community at St. Ignatius Catholic School. All such events
involve leadership from teachers and students, support from the Facilities team, and, of course, much
planning and preparation. I am so grateful to all those teachers who have made this such a memorable
month.
These events also need the supporters who applaud the performance, celebrate the competition or simply
join in the fun. Everyone has a role to play, great or small, in developing a supportive, school
community. I want to thank you the parents for your tremendous support this term and it is so gratifying
to see how engaged and interested you are in your child’s learning and development. Our newsletter
certainly displays how we celebrate success and recognise achievement; a parent’s attendance makes this
even more meaningful.
Working in partnership with parents is a very important feature of our school to guarantee the success of
our youngest through to our oldest students. We welcome parental engagement in the learning process
and we work hard to overcome barriers to learning and maintain the well-being of students at St.
Ignatius.
I wish all our examination students a very productive Easter revision and study period. It is important
that this time is spent constructively as the May examinations come ever closer.
I wish you all a very special and holy Easter Break.
Tom McGrath
Head of School
Thank you to our corporate partners
for all that they do for our school!

INTRODUCING FEBRUARY KS3 STUDENTS OF THE MONTH!
Aliyha Nelson: Yr. 9 – This is the second time that Aliyha has won this award. She is currently
working very hard in all her subjects and believes that she is making improvement in most areas.
She has identified Spanish and Mathematics as areas that need further focus. Aliyha is still
interested in the medical profession and is focused on pursuing this as a career. She currently
plays netball, squash and badminton, as well as continuing her involvement in track events. Her
favourite subjects are still Art and Science. She is currently excited to be going through the
option process and has identified Art, Music and History as the subjects she would like to pursue into IGCSE.
Andre Jennings: Yr. 8 – Andre was born in Tennessee and returned to Cayman as a baby. He
joined St. Ignatius in Year 2. This is his first time winning this award and as such Andre is very
pleased with his success. He said, “I always try hard in all my lessons and most recently I was
so happy to get 20 out of 20 in my spelling test!” His favourite lessons are Art and ICT. Andre’s
hobbies include football and basketball. He used to be on the school football team but is not
currently part of that team. In future Andre would like to work in the computer industry.
Amara Duncan: Yr. 7 – Amara was born in Cayman and she has always attended St. Ignatius
Catholic School. She is enjoying high school very much. During the first term of this year she
served on the Student Council as tutor representative, which she really enjoyed. She believes that
it is a very valuable part of school life and was happy to be given the chance to contribute and
share her classmate’s opinions. She has taken part in CrossFit as an extracurricular activity and
would love to see this activity incorporated into PE lessons. Her favourite subjects are Art,
French, Spanish, Maths and Science. Amara would one day like to become a doctor. Currently
she is concentrating on maintaining her place on the Honour Roll.

NEWS FROM YOUR LIBRARY AND GO BANANAS! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
GO BANANAS AND STORY BOOK CHARACTERS!
The reading incentive for primary GO BANANAS ran from February 18 th to
March 6th. During this time the primary students went ‘bananas over reading’!
Students read as many books as they could. For every three books (or 150
pages) students hung a bunch of bananas on the banana tree in the office.
With each bunch of bananas students then had their name entered into a draw.
Each class then had a draw for a monkey and many books.
On Friday, March 1st we had a ‘story book character day’ where students
dressed up to show off their favourite book or character.
The exciting 2½ weeks came to a close with a banana split party!
Thank you to all the teachers and parents who supported GO BANANAS.
An extra thank you to the parents who helped to make over 300 banana splits,
which the students found most a-peeling!
Thank you to JLM Foods who donated the ice cream and Progressive
Distributors who donated bananas and chocolate syrup for our banana splits.
NEW BOOKS HAVE JUST ARRIVED!
KS1 and KS2 went ‘bananas
We have just received a shipment of new books. Some of the new titles

The sixth annual Cayman Islands Youth Parliament took place at the Legislative
Assembly Building on Commonwealth Day, Monday, March 11th.
Sixth Form students Ann-Alecia Moore and Moesha Ramsay-Howell represented
St. Ignatius with tremendous confidence and poise. Ann-Alecia had the responsibility
of serving as Honourable Speaker of the Youth Parliament, and she did a wonderful job
keeping the proceedings flowing smoothly, as well as offering passionate opening
remarks. Moesha served as the Third Elected Member for George Town, and she
expressed her views very eloquently during the debate.
Issues addressed on the day were ‘The Affiliation (Amendment) Bill, 2013’, as well as

SPECTATORS THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MUSIC MAN!
‘The Music Man’ took place March 7th—9th in Loyola Hall. The Friday and Saturday evening
shows had capacity crowds. The Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon showings had lower attendance, but
the audience members were just as enthusiastic in their appreciation!
The young cast did a tremendous job with the entire production. Attendees marveled at the amount of lines they
had to learn, the quality of the songs, and the coordinated dancing. The costumes and the colourful set also
received rave reviews. The orchestra earned thunderous applause for their superb musical accompaniment, which
gave life to the entire production.
Mrs. Huggins and her able team of volunteers ensured that everyone had drinks and snacks during the
intermission. Mr. and Mrs. Kosa and their team, the entire cast, as well as Mr. Donoghue and all the musicians,
are to be congratulated on a terrific production.
For those who may have missed the show, or who wish to see it again, please visit our church website,
Ignatius.ky and watch it there!

ST. JOHN RACES TO VICTORY AT KS2 SPORTS DAY
The weather warmed up just in time for some hot competition at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex for the
annual Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) sports day. The students enjoyed races on the track, an obstacle course, water
bucket relay, ball throw, skipping, and long jump. When all was said and done St. John tallied 447 points to claim
the victory. They were followed by St. Matthew (382), St. Mark (375) and St. Luke (331). The children and
parents also appreciated the drinks and snacks served by the HSA parent volunteers. Thank you to all the parents,
students and staff who worked so hard to ensure the day ran safely and smoothly.

ANNUAL EARTH DAY CLEAN UP — ST. IGNATIUS GROUNDS
The 43rd anniversary of Earth Day will be celebrated on Monday, April 22nd in about 175
countries around the world.
The annual Chamber of Commerce roadside cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 13th.
That morning, at 8:00 am sharp, St. Ignatius students, parents, parishioners and staff will
also do our annual cleanup of the school/church grounds, as well as the adjacent roads.
Those who wish to volunteer are urged to contact jeremy.rice@st-ignatius.com or maria.kennedy@st-ignatius.com
to sign up. Garbage bags, gloves, water and a healthy snack will be provided to all participants. The first 20
people to register will also receive an Earth Day t-shirt.
Please consider the following ways in which we can all do our little part to reuse and recycle in an effort to help
our environment:


Newspapers: Please save your old newspapers and bring them in for our school art department, or
donate them to the CI Humane Society.
Magazines: Instead of throwing them away, donate them to any of the following local organizations:
prison ministry, CI Cancer Society, your doctor’s office or the CI Health Services.
Carpooling: Team up with some friends or neighbours; this saves gas and cuts down on the number of
cars trying to park.
Recycle Glass: Dart has a glass crushing machine at Camana Bay. Save your glass bottles and drop
them off to Camana Bay once a month (during the Farmer’s Market day).
Plastic Bottles: ‘JUNK’ has collection bins at all Foster’s Food Fair parking lots. We hope to also have
a collection bin at our school at some point.
Aluminum Cans: We have an aluminum can recycling bin on the St. Ignatius grounds, located next to
the garbage dumpster. Drop your cans off whenever you like.
Water Use: Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. While waiting for warm/hot water in the bath or
shower, hold a bucket underneath to collect the cold water, then use it for other purposes.
Thermostat: Turn up the thermostat a couple of degrees and use fans to enhance the air conditioning.
Compost: Those who have gardens are encouraged to start a compost heap, which cuts down on garbage
and makes excellent fertilizer.
Come up with your own ideas and think of things you can do around your home, school or workplace!

MIXING IT UP IN YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY
Book work, taking notes, researching and using the smart board are all great ways of
efficient learning; but why not mix it up?
The Year 10 Geography classes were recently given the end-of-unit task to present the
concept of Plate Tectonics through either a video or power point presentation and model.
The work produced was most aesthetically displayed.
Stefan’s Krakatau!
Students Nigelle Thomas, Danyelle Williams
and Nayo Swan worked together to create a
replica of the Montserrat volcano (Soufrière
Hills), while Stefan Langlois fashioned his own
rendition of the Krakatau Volcano. These
volcanoes were later erupted on the field and
the class marvelled at the oozing imitation of
lava and pyroclastic flows. Other individuals
and groups created power points on volcanoes,
earthquakes and even made word searches for
Soufrière Hills erupts, courtesy of
the class’ personal enjoyment.

of the Montserrat volcano. The class seemed impressed by our new idea and also got to enjoy a small snack!
All students and future geographers were commended by Mr. Reid for all of their hard and excellent work!

LENTEN SACRIFICE — RAISING FUNDS FOR MARY’S MEALS
The season of Lent is all about prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The RE Department chose to highlight the work of
the organisation Mary’s Meals, and our secondary students have been raising funds and awareness over the past
few weeks under the theme of SACRIFICE. Mary’s Meals sets up global feeding projects in some of the world’s
poorest communities, where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining a proper education. In most of
these countries it takes ONLY CI$11.80 to feed one child for a WHOLE YEAR!
Mary’s Meals provides one daily meal in a place of learning, in order to attract chronically poor children into a
classroom. This allows them to be fed and to receive an education that can, hopefully, help them to climb out of a
life of poverty. Mary’s Meals began by feeding 200 children per day in Malawi in 2002. In just 11 years, the
number of children fed every day has grown to a staggering 700,000!
St. Ignatius secondary students and teachers organised a series of fundraisers:
Give alms from your possessions
 Mrs. DeQuintal’s tutor group and the Sixth Form arranged bake sales
to all who live uprightly, and do
 Mrs. Whyte’s group organized Cake Dancing
not let your eye begrudge the gift
 Mrs. Hammersley’s class did Guess the Candy in a Jar
when you make it. Do not turn
your face away from any poor
 Mr. DeCruz-Jones put together a football tournament
man,
and the face of God will not
 Ms. Muddle’s tutor group did sponsored silence
be turned away from you.
 Ms. Obrecht’s class have done lemonade and vegetable sales
- Tobit 4:7
 Other donations have been flooding in as well!
The funds collected will be used to support the work of Mary’s Meals. If each of our students can raise $35, we
could feed a whole school for a year! The final results will be announced in a future parent weekly bulletin.
