A view of the £23,269 Building The new school will be capable of accommodating within its four classrooms; its science room, commercial room and li-
brary. Each of the rooms in the two storey building is well lighted and ventilated with large hopper type windows. All run onto an outside balcony which provides access to each room and facilities at the end of the floor. An undercroft to the building will provide wet weather shelter and also has four rooms for music practice, lined with sound reducing acoustic tiles of canite. Cloak rooms are provided on each floor. The architects for the building were Messrs. Henderson and Thompson and the builder C. B. Wildy. The cost of the school, without equipment, was £ 23,269. At the ceremony, which was attended by a very
large crowd of parents of the pupils and friends of the Sisters, Rev. J. Murphy B.A., L.Ph., Dip. Ed., the parish priest of Mosman Park welcomed His Grace on behalf of the Sisters. Father Murphy also assisted His Grace with the blessing of the school accompanied by Rev. P. Quinn, D.C.L. of St. Mary's Cathedral. Rev. G. Harper C.M., preached the occasional sermon. During his speech to the people present His Grace expressed his pleasure at being present for such a notable in achievement Catholic education.

A Conference In Manila, And Seminar In Saigon Mr. MARK PALANDRI, of Nedlands, has returned home after a trip through South -East Asia. While there he, in company with two others, represented the National Union of Australian University Students at a students' con-
ference in Manila. At this meeting seven Asian countries were represented. Discussion revolved about the establishment of a regional student organisation for Australia and Asia, the coordination of student activities and the sponsoring of student exchange. In Saigon they represented the National Youth Council of Australia at a seminar where the role of youth organisations in national reconstruction was discussed. Places visited during the tour were Port Moresby, Manila, Hong Kong, Saigon, Siemreap, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Mark Palandri was president of the Guild of Under-
tional authorities." His Grace also made the forceful point that in times past accusations had been made as to the inefficiency and the lack of training which teaching orders was being shown up as a shameful misrepresentation by the facts of today. "We are not behind the times," said His Grace. "Here at Iona, the head sister in the school has a B.A. degree and a Diploma of Education from the University of W.A. Another Sister is completing her B.A. and two Sisters have been trained at. the Teachers' Training College at Gray lands. The Sister who is teaching in the science room has her B.Sc." "Is this an untrained staff?" queried His Grace. At this point His Grace paid tribute to the authorities controlling the teachers' Training College for their help and courtesy afforded to nuns and Brothers who were availing themselves of the training cote ses at the colleges. Added to this was the known courtesy shown by the ordinary students to them. His Grace commended the school and the parents of the area. Promising that they could be assured of what was most important, a good and Christian education by trained and dedica-
