ODE TO ST CATHERINE’S
Tho’ I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
We celebrate our golden past and our future just beginning Stand and unite, reach for the stars, all our dreams will be fulfilling.
And tho’ I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all myst’ries and all knowledge; and tho’ I have faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
Friends we value, those who last, friends from many nations Leaders we choose; guidance we follow, the future’s in our hands.
And tho’ I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and tho’ I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, Love never faileth, but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three and the greatest of these is love. Music: June Epstein
There is one thread that binds us all, a thread of gold and blue Spun with creed and spirit true of faith, hope and love. We are not saintly but full of heart St Catherine’s wheel does us unite We stand by truth, and aim not to fail in the challenges of life. As we pursue our hopes and dreams on the path that lies before us Our future’s bright, we’ll reach new heights with St Catherine’s as our guide. Words and Music: H Lovass, J Boskell, E Ng, B Valmorbida and St Catherine’s Year 12 Class of 1996

Mackenzie Leyden School Captain 2017
DR CATHERINE BALL Dr Catherine Ball is an author, founder and ethics advocate working across global projects where robotics and new technology meet environmental protection. A sought after voice in industry, Dr Ball is now the CEO of an Australian startup working with the application of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) aka drone technology across remote communities, schools, industry and citizen scientists. Dr Ball is leading the call for discussions around the ethics of spatial data. Dr Ball’s passion is found working on projects that have a humanitarian aspect, ranging from the use of RPAS for emergency response, to recording cultural heritage and agricultural assessments. Dr Ball has travelled and worked globally on cutting edge projects that combine science, entrepreneurship, empowerment, education and training. Dr Ball was the chosen ‘drone advisor’ to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade InnovationXChange’s “Pacific Humanitarian Challenge” and is continuing to support these efforts, as well as initial talks with the UN’s World Food Programme on using drones to distribute food aid, especially in conflict areas such as Syria. Dr Ball continues to advise federal and state government across Australia.
Her most recent works in Queensland involve the training and education of Indigenous rangers to use drones as part of their work, thereby reducing health and safety risk and increasing the efficiency of data collection. This will lead to indigenous owned “drones as a service” companies being created and the data analysis and GIS training also provided to support the rangers and create economic enterprise. Dr Ball is also talking with a number of Queensland schools about the processes to establish ‘Drone Academies’ on site, as the new drone economy is estimated to be worth some USD20B per annum by 2020, with 10% of future jobs attached to the drone economic ecosystem. Dr Ball believes there needs to be discussions around flying safely and ethically and these need to start as soon as possible. Dr Ball continues to support Australia as being the world leader in the nonmilitary application of drone technology also known as “drones for good”. A believer in appropriate data, not open data, Dr Ball is currently starting a new business looking at the future data management needs across our geospatial industry, especially when faced with new technologies, such as drones, that produce a lot of data very quickly.
Dr Ball holds a BSc Honours (Environmental Protection) and a PhD (Spatial Ecology, Descriptive and Predictive Statistics) from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the United Kingdom. Dr Ball has been awarded: •
2015 AFR’s BOSS Magazine Young Executives of the Year
•
National Telstra Business Woman of the Year 2015, Corporate and Private Award
•
Queensland Telstra Business Women’s Awards Winner 2015: Queensland Business Woman of the Year, Queensland Corporate and Private
•
Innovator of Influence, 2015 at Innovation Week
•
Courier Mail Q Magazine: Queensland 50 Best and Brightest, 2015
Most recently, Dr Ball is a National Finalist in the 2016 Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence.
