St Ignatius' College has announced a new head of school with decorated militar y chaplain and former video game executive Father Jack McLain appointed Rector. The US-born priest takes over from Father Paul Mullins, who after 24 years has depar ted to become Parish Priest at St Ignatius' Church at Nor wood. Father McLain, 46, (pictured right) arrives at the College with a fascinating background including a remarkable army career spanning more than two decades. During his time in the US militar y he was called to active duty with the 82nd Airborne Division and Army Special Forces, completing postings to war-ravaged regions including Afghanistan, Kosovo and West Africa. Prior to this, Father McLain pursued his interest in video game software working for Nintendo, where he helped develop the globally acclaimed Super Mario Bros 3. Father McLain was ordained a Jesuit Priest in 1998 after nine years of training, during which time he completed a theology degree at Boston College and attended Har vard University, Massachusetts, where he coached the ski team. He has also completed Bachelor degrees in philosophy, as well as radio and television broadcasting production, while his education experience comprises roles with several American Jesuit high schools and most recently at St Aloysius College in Sydney. Father McLain said it was a great privilege to be given the oppor tunity to lead St Ignatius' College as Rector. "I'm looking for ward to helping students develop their unique talents as they continue their journey to become men and women of competence, conscience and compassion." New leader for Saint Ignatius A legal crusader for the United Nations and an advocate for refugees -- these are some of the aspirations of Catholic students awarded this year's John Brewer Memorial Scholarship. Brigid Symes, Ferdinand Ncahonziye and Michael Harders recently received the $1500 scholarship from the South Australian arm of the Knights of the Southern Cross. Knights of the Southern Cross state executive officer Tony Sexton said the students were chosen by a panel of four judges for their academic achievement, commitment to parish life and contribution to school communities. Mr Sexton said the calibre of this year's candidates was high and warranted a third scholarship. Brigid, 17, said she was ver y surprised to open the letter announcing her success as a scholarship candidate. The Year 12 student is studying an international Baccalaureate at Mercedes College and is an active member of the Colonel Light Gardens parish. She plans to use the scholarship to fund her trip to Spain next year for World Youth Day. Brigid wants to work overseas as a volunteer before returning to Adelaide to study law and, hopefully, travel abroad working for the United Nations. In Por t Lincoln, St Joseph's School Year 12 student Michael said he had used the scholarship to purchase a laptop for school and university. Michael, 17, has spent the past year involved in the music program at the St Mar y of the Angels parish. "I feel ver y honoured and lucky to win the scholarship, as I am sure there were many other wor thy entrants," Michael said Trio tipped for great things AWARD WINNERS: (L-R) Knights of the Southern Cross SA president Brian Cooper, Brigid Symes, Ferdinand Ncahonziye, Michael Harders, Monsignor Bob Rice and Joan Brewer.
