Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview

Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview is a Roman Catholic, day and boarding school for boys located in Riverview, a small suburb situated on the Lane Cove River on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Established in 1880 by Fr Joseph Dalton SJ, of the Society of Jesus, Saint Ignatius' is a Jesuit school in the tradition of St Ignatius of Loyola. It is part of the international network of Jesuit schools that began in Messina, Sicily in 1548. Saint Ignatius' College has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1,560 students from Years 5 to 12, including 335 boarders in Years 6 to 12.
The college is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association, and is a founding member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS).
Numerous leading contributors to Australian politics, arts, law, religion and sport were educated at Riverview. The former Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, is a notable alumnus of the college; as is the current Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher OP, who graduated as dux of the class of 1977. A former Premier of New South Wales, Nick Greiner also attended Riverview, as did Barnaby Joyce, the present Minister for Agriculture in the Abbott Government. The Chief Justice of New South Wales, Tom Bathurst, is also an alumnus. The college has produced 9 Olympians and 8 Rhodes Scholars as well as the first Australian-born astronaut, Paul Scully-Power, and numerous writers including poet Christopher Brennan, art critic Robert Hughes and playwright Nick Enright.
== History ==

Following Archbishop Roger William Bede Vaughan OSB's invitation to the Jesuits to Sydney, on condition that they found a boys' boarding school, and the bequest of Fr John Joseph Therry, who on his death in 1864 left the greater part of his property to the Society of Jesus, Fr Joseph Dalton SJ concluded arrangements for the purchase of the Riverview property on 28 June 1878. Dalton became founding Rector of the college.
The first students were brought to the school as advertised in the Catholic newspaper ''The Express'', whereby boys aged between 8 and 12 would be received at Riverview "as soon as possible after the Christmas holidays." Classes commenced with two students on 11 February 1880, in a small stone cottage on the Riverview estate.
The original cottage became very cramped with greater numbers and in order to provide better accommodation St Michael's House was built. The building was designed by W. W. Wardell and opened on the feast of Saint Michael, 29 September 1880. In 1882 a wooden boatshed was built for rowing and in 1883 the Infirmary took shape.
In its early years the college offered classical and modern languages, history, mathematics, the natural sciences and all other branches required for the Civil Service, the Junior, Senior and Matriculation Examinations', along with a modern touch - mercantile subjects.
By December 1882, with an enrolment of only 70 boys, the college extended the curriculum to include English composition, writing, music, singing, drawing, painting, Irish history and oral Latin.
Lessons were taught six days a week. Prayers began the day at 6.15 am, followed by Mass and study before breakfast at 8.30 am and concluded with night prayers at 8.30 pm. On Sundays and holidays the boys were allowed to sleep in until 6.30 am.
Within seven years of its founding, keen observers were taking notice. In 1887, James Francis Hogan wrote in ''The Irish in Australia'' that:

"St. John's College, affiliated to the University of Sydney; St. Ignatius' College, Riverview, conducted by the Jesuit Fathers; and St. Joseph's College, Hunter Hill , under the management of the Marist Fathers (actually the Marist Brothers ), are three educational institutions that reflect the highest credit on the Catholic population of the parent colony".〔Hogan, James Francis, ''(The Irish in Australia )'', 1887. Reproduced by Project Gutenberg (retrieved 15 June 2006).〕

The main building of the college was constructed in three stages between 1885–1930 and the foundation stone was laid by Cardinal Moran, Archbishop of Sydney, on 15 December 1885. As originally designed by Gilbert, Dennehy and Tappin, of Ballarat, the building was to be a huge square, representing four identical fronts, but only the South front was completed according to plan due to financial constraints.
The Riverview College Observatory was built in 1909, and was established by the distinguished Jesuit astronomer and seismologist, Edward Francis Pigot (1858-1929), who ordered a complete set of seismographs from Göttingen. Fr Daniel O'Connell was director of the Observatory from 1938 and was later called to be director of the Vatican Observatory.〔Nick Lomb; ''(O'Connell, Daniel Joseph Kelly (1896–1982) )''; Australian Dictionary of Biography〕 Another distinguished Jesuit seismologist and astronomer, Fr Thomas Burke-Gaffney, became assistant-director of the Observatory in 1946 and director from 1952. His studies of seismic aspects of nuclear explosions garnered worldwide attention and he served as vice-president of the Royal Society of New South Wales.〔G. P. Walsh; ''(Burke-Gaffney, Thomas Noel (1893–1958) )''; Australian Dictionary of Biography〕
The Dalton Memorial Chapel was also built in 1909. The organ in the chapel was built in 1910 at a cost of £460 by Charles Richardson and installed in 1911. By the 1970s the organ was becoming unreliable and the college organist at the time, Peter Meyer, contracted Arthur Jones to rebuild it in 1976.〔''(St Ignatius' College Chapel )'', Sydney Organ, (retrieved 22 October 2006).〕
Although the first dayboys were not officially admitted until 1923, there was a small group of pupils who were permitted to attend the college as dayboys. In fact, up until the 1960s dayboys remained relatively small in number and Riverview was mainly for boarders.
In the lead up to the 2003 Iraq war, the three school captains wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, calling for a withdrawal of Australian troops from the Persian Gulf and for a non-military solution. They told Howard a poll of 574 students at the college showed 75 per cent were against Australian military participation in Iraq, regardless of the United Nations’ position.
During February 2005, students sang for Pope John Paul II outside his hospital in Rome as part of the 2005 Pilgrimage of Hope. The students had previously met the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, meditated in Assisi and worked the streets and orphanages of Calcutta with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity.
The year 2005 saw Riverview play host to a series of 125th anniversary celebrations culminating in a whole school Mass at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney on the feast of Ignatius of Loyola, 31 July.
