Dear Parents & Students
This year, in Loreto Schools across Australia not only are we celebrating the theme of ‘Verity” but we are also
remembering with thanks the life of remarkable Mother Gonzaga Barry IBVM, the founder of Loreto Schools in Australia,
as 2015 is the 100th anniversary of her death.
I take this opportunity to share with you this extract taken from the Loreto Australia website www.loreto.org.au
“Mary Barry (1834-1915) was educated at Loreto Gorey and Rathfarnham,
Ireland. In 1875, at the request of the Bishop of Ballarat, she led the first
group of Loreto Sisters to Australia.
“Leave after you something on which others may build.”
Mary Gonzaga Barry
(24/7/1834 – 4/03/1915)
Mary Barry was born into a large, well-to-do family in Wexford. As a child she witnessed some of the horror of the Great
Famine of the 1840s and never forgot it. She was educated at Loreto Gorey and Rathfarnham, joining the Institute herself
at the age of 19, and taking the name of the young Jesuit saint, Aloysius Gonzaga. She held various leadership positions
over the next twenty years and in 1875, at the invitation of the Bishop of Ballarat, led the first group of Loreto Sisters to
the Australian colonies.
Gonzaga was small, plump, profoundly deaf and increasingly dependent on the use of an ear trumpet and yet during her
40 years in the colonies she became one of the most significant figures in Australian Catholic education, particularly for
women. Ireland was in her soul and yet she identified with her adopted country.
A woman of extraordinary energy and faith, she embraced educational initiatives from kindergarten to tertiary level and
founded teacher training colleges in Ballarat and Melbourne. In the last 20 years of her life she took a leading role among
Mary Ward women worldwide in the cause of union.
Gonzaga died at Mary’s Mount, Ballarat, on 4th March 1915 and is buried there in the small garden cemetery.
Gonzaga Barry urged pupils of Loreto schools to “leave after you something on which others may build.” She lived these
words herself. In her 40 years in the Australian colonies she founded ten girls’ boarding schools, ten day schools, six
primary schools, three kindergartens and two teacher training colleges as well as taking over the running of at least eight
parish schools.

Gonzaga had a profound influence, not only on Catholic education but in the emerging world of a migrant-based society
where Catholics were increasingly entering the professions. Loreto women were urged not to live a “butterfly existence” but
contribute as wives and mothers, in the workplace and through charitable and cultural endeavours.
Gonzaga became a powerful figure in the wider Institute, forging close bonds with Mary Ward women internationally
through her extraordinary travels and extensive correspondence.”
Mother Gonzaga Barry was a prolific writer and there are many wonderful quotes of hers that inspire and motivate. Over
the coming months I look forward to sharing more of these with you in the Newsletter. But for now, in the lead up to
exams, I offer this quote which I am sure parents will also enjoy. To her students she once wrote:
“The motivation of giving satisfaction to your parents is one that ought to be very powerful with you, if you will
only reflect on the many sacrifices they have made for your advancement. In one respect it is a matter of strict
justice that you should do your very best and avail yourself of every opportunity to improve.”
FAREWELL & THANKS

This week we bid farewell to Ms Catherine Shipton, Loreto’s Community Relations and Development Manager. We
offer her every blessing in her new role at Brisbane Catholic Education and we thank her sincerely for the wonderful
and significant contribution she has made at Loreto during her time with us. Especially we offer heartfelt thanks from
the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association and the Parents and Friends’ Association. In the words of Mother Gonzaga Barry,
Catherine has indeed left behind her something on which others who follow can now build.
CONDOLENCES

To Mrs Leonie McCulkin and her family on the recent passing of her father-in-law. May he rest now in loving and
eternal peace. Amen.
Yours sincerely
Cheryl Hamilton
Principal
The Loreto community also expresses its sincere condolences to Mrs
Cheryl Hamilton on the recent passing of her grandmother, Gwen, at the
wonderful age of 95.

Blazer Costs
The College has been advised by Rainier Design Group (the manufacturers of the College blazer) that due to rising costs in
China and the fall of the Australian dollar the cost of the blazer will be increased. The price will increase by 10% which will
be applied to any blazers ordered after 1 April 2015. Once we have been advised of the new prices, details will be circulated
to parents.

Parent /Student/Homeroom Teacher Interviews
On Tuesday 5 May we will be conducting interviews for each student and her parent/s with one of her Homeroom
teachers. The purpose of this interview is to reflect on the student’s progress and to make positive and practical plans for
the future. The interviews will have a slightly different focus depending on the student’s Year Level, eg Year 7’s and 8’s will
reflect on the process of settling into secondary school and Year 11’s on their adjustment to senior schooling. The Year 10
interviews will begin to focus on the development of each student’s Senior Education Training Plan. Letters, Interim Reports
and instructions for booking interview times on-line via Parent Lounge will be posted to each family on Wednesday 8 April.
Please email Mrs Robyn McKeon [email protected] or telephone the school office after Monday 20 April if this
material does not arrive.
Interviews will be conducted between 1.30 pm and 6.30 pm and will be for approximately 15 minutes. Classes will conclude
at 12.35 pm. Students may go home or be supervised at school until 3.20pm. This interview is in addition to the Parent/
Student/Subject Teacher interviews held in July when parents have the opportunity to talk with each of their daughter’s
teachers about her progress in particular subjects. We hope this interview opportunity will enhance communication between
families and the College and our ability to provide the very best for your daughters academically and pastorally.

Homework Expectations in Year 7
Many parents are reporting to me that their daughters have settled in well and that they are managing to keep up with
their homework with little or no fuss. Others are wondering why their daughter has no homework (when indeed they do).
Some have reported to me that the amount of homework their daughter is completing seems onerous. It is a real life
Goldilocks story! Too much, none at all, or just right? Please read below for some advice when assisting your daughter
with her homework.

The Parent Handbook advises that Year 7 students should expect to do 1 - 1.5 hours x 6 times each week.

If students complete six lessons each day then one would assume that they could receive ten minutes of
homework in each subject. This will vary from day to day. Sometimes there is no homework in a particular
subject. Sometimes there will be slightly more than ten minutes expected in a particular subject.

At least one hour can be expected to be allocated to specific subject tasks. Other tasks such as packing a school
bag / sports gear, printing assignments, revision, organising cooking ingredients could make up the remaining
thirty minutes.
As parents you can support your daughter with her homework by:

Ensuring that she has a quiet, well lit space to complete her work

Checking her diary to see the level of work expected by each teacher.

Encouraging her to use her weekly planner to identify times in the week which can be dedicated to homework.
(Your daughter has received a digital copy of this which can be altered as necessary.)

Encouraging her to take small breaks where necessary and to REWARD herself for completed tasks. (A reward
could be going outside to meet a neighbour, taking the dog for a walk, watching her favourite TV show, having a
rest, reading a book or exercising etc.)
If you feel that your daughter is spending too much time on her homework there are many strategies you could employ
to provide assistance:

Make a checklist at the beginning of the homework session. Decide how long should be given to each task.

Ask her to prioritise the work in terms of when it is due.

Ask her to time how long each piece of homework is actually taking. This can be a way to keep her focus on the
task.

Ensure that she is not distracted by electronic devices. Remove the phone from her possession at this time.

Check that your daughter has a clear understanding of the homework instructions to ensure that she is not
attempting more work than is required, or work that is more complex than prescribed by the teacher.

Do not assume that if your daughter is on her computer that she is completing homework. Most homework for
Year 7 does not require the use of the computer. Languages, Maths (for Hotmaths) and IT could be exceptions
to this rule.

If a computer is required then this should be monitored. Check to see if she absolutely needs to be connected to
the internet. Year 7s can be easily distracted by youtube and other websites.

Turn off the wi-fi if necessary.
As a last resort, if an excessive amount of time is being spent on homework, you should ask your daughter to STOP
after the recommended time is up. Please make a note in her diary of what was achieved and the time spent on the
task. By doing this a teacher will be aware that a genuine attempt has been made to finish the work but that the time
expectations were not realistic for your daughter.

Music Extension
Last Wednesday night, 18 March, the first Music Extension Recital for the year was held in the Mary Ward Centre. The
students performed challenging repertoire showcasing their musical skills within their chosen discipline. Congratulations to
all musicians - your performances were outstanding and the support you showed each other demonstrated the passion you
share for Music and your appreciation for each other’s talents. Special thanks to Mrs Anna Neilson, Mr Ben Langford and
Ms Deana Dodds for preparing their students and ensuring the audience experienced a wonderful evening.

Year 8 / 12 Activities
In the past few weeks, Year 8 and Year 12 students have shared some time together. They enjoyed a trivia Quiz organised
by the members of the Links Council in a PD lesson. Much laughter was shared as well as a few sweet treats. Last
Thursday, both year levels attended the CaSSSA swimming carnival at Chandler where they cheered our swim team. As
part of the entertainment of the day, schools prepared some dance moves to popular songs which were then performed
during the breaks in the events. The Year 12s had taught the Year 8s these moves earlier in the week and this proved to be
a highlight of the day. Our Loreto ‘dance’ was the best! Despite the hot, noisy conditions, the girls had an enjoyable day
with each other and in the company of their ‘sisters’. It has been great to share some time together with our big/little sisters.

Music News
Autumn Concert Programs
As previously advertised, the Music Department will be running three Autumn Concerts at the start of next term. Each concert
will only have 6-8 ensembles so they will be short and enjoyable opportunities to hear your daughters perform the music they
have worked hard to learn so far this year. Arrival time for all concerts is 6pm; there will be some light snacks, tea and coffee
provided for parents while students get organised, as well as a licensed bar to purchase beer, wine and soft drinks prior to the
music beginning. All concerts are expected to finish by 8:30 pm (some much earlier!). The groups performing at each
concert and supplying supper are listed below, as well as the expected performance order for each event (please note the
change of order for Concert Three).
Please note that for each group to successfully perform their prepared programs it is highly important that all members are
present. Attendance at these concerts for all ensemble members is therefore a compulsory part of their involvement in the
music program. If there are exceptional circumstances which will not allow your daughter to attend, then it is vital that you as
the parent communicate this to the Director of Music in writing as soon as possible. Clashes with family and other non-school
events can often be resolved by careful programing of the concert order, but only if sufficient notice is given.
Autumn Concert One - Friday 24 April (Mary Ward Centre): Big Band, Chorale; Exit Stage Left; Sorelle; Percussion
Ensemble 2; Junior Choir; Percussion Ensemble 1; Senior Choir (Senior Choir members please each bring a very small
donation of savoury snacks for parents on arrival).
Autumn Concert Two - Monday 27 April (Cruci): Improvised Jazz Ensemble; Flute Ensemble One; Saxophone Ensemble;
Clarinet Ensemble Two; Flute Ensemble Two; Clarinet Ensemble One; Chamber Strings (Clarinet Ensembles 1 & 2 please
each bring a very small donation of savoury snacks for parents on arrival).
Autumn Concert Three – Friday 8 May (Mary Ward Centre): Symphony Orchestra; Concert Band One; Concert Band Two;
String Ensemble; Guitar Ensemble Two; Guitar Ensemble One (Guitar Ensembles 1 & 2 please each bring a very small
donation of savoury snacks for parents on arrival).
Rehearsals during exam block
With exam block starting tomorrow, it is important for all music students and parents to carefully check the Rehearsal
Schedule attached to this newsletter, as a number of rehearsals will be cancelled to assist students appropriately prepare for
their assessment. This schedule has been carefully organised to make sure it does not interfere with exams so where
rehearsals are being run, it is highly important that all students do attend.
Entry Deadline Extended
As we have moved totally online for the first time this year, some students may have missed last Friday’s entry deadline for
the Loreto Music Festival. But don’t worry, we have extended the entry cut-off date up until tomorrow (Wednesday 25 March)
at midnight. Heats don’t start until May so you have plenty of time to pick a piece and prepare, but you must get your entry in
this week! You can access entry forms via the Student Cafe. Simply go to My Resources, Class Resources, Music, Year
Level, Loreto Music Festival and download the “Entry Form and Rules” document for all rules, conditions of entry, and links to

Grill’d, Camp Hill
Do you want a great excuse to eat at Grill’d Camp Hill? Do you even need an excuse? For the month of April, the Loreto
Music Support Group will be participating in the Grill’d Camp Hill “Local Matters” campaign. Your job is easy (and delicious!)
– just buy a burger and put your token in the Loreto Music Support Group jar and you could help us win a $300
donation. That’s enough money to support a full music tuition scholarship for one school term. How could you not be
tempted?
Donations Please
The annual Loreto Trivia Night is fast approaching! Run by the Music Support Group as both a social evening and fundraiser,
the Trivia Night is one of the groups three main opportunities each year to raise the money necessary to continue to support
the Beginner Ensembles Program. We are now looking for donations that could be used as prizes for the Trivia Night. Any
small items that can be grouped to make prize boxes for tables of 8-10 people would be ideal and could be left at either the
main College Office or the Music Office. Boxes of chocolate, $1 & $2 Scratchies, Movie / iTunes / Playstore gift cards or
similar items are all fantastic ideas that would be most welcome!
Lunchtime Music Recital
Last Friday we were treated to a great lunchtime student concert. It was a real treat to hear such a range of instruments and
ages, all playing beautifully. Well done to all girls who performed and thanks to those students and staff who came along to
support this event. If you are looking for more performance opportunities, then make sure you have entered the Loreto Music
Festival in Term Two!

Mooting Competition
The Bond University Faculty of Law’s annual Mooting Competition for 2015 is
approaching and Loreto College is entering a highly enthusiastic team of Year 12
Legal Studies students. Mooting involves analysing legal issues which are then
applied to factual situations and argued before a judge. The competition is
designed to challenge students to think on their feet and consider complex legal
arguments in order to solve legal problems. This year’s team is comprised of
Sarah O’Shea and Lauren Hocking as Co-Counsel, Krystal Hatzipapas as
Instructing Solicitor and Maria Manicaros. Mr Matthew Preston and Ms Chris
Rynne will be coaching the girls as they prepare for the Moot. The girls will be
competing on 1 May 2015 at the Federal Court in Brisbane and we wish them
every success in this exciting challenge.

Girls are reminded that if they are travelling away from Loreto, they are to change into their playing uniform at lunchtime and
report to the MWC at 3.05pm when the sports bell rings. If parents intend to collect their daughter from the ‘away’ or home
‘Mansfield’ venues, a note must be given to Mrs Gore by morning tea on match day. All buses aim to return to Loreto
between 5.30-5.45pm, traffic dependent! We wish all teams the best of luck.
Spectators are most welcome, we’d love to see you there
