Y Dear Parents and Students

This week we look forward to our Semester Two College Mass which concludes with our Semester One Award Ceremony. I extend an open invita on to parents and family members who would like to join us to please do so. You are most welcome and it would be lovely to have you here as part of this very special celebra on. The Mass will be held in the Mary Ward Centre at 11.00am on Thursday July 28th. I look forward to seeing you there if you are able to a end. This week is Catholic Educa on Week; a week in which we celebrate the wonderful heritage of Catholic Educa on in Queensland. In doing so, we especially congratulate the Sisters of Mercy on their Sesquicentenary, as they mark 150 years of leadership, educa on and service in Queensland. Educa ng Body, Mind and Spirit is the united mission that all Catholic schools share. We thank you as parents, for your support of Catholic Educa on and for entrus ng to us the care of your daughter(s). It is a privilege for which we feel deeply humbled and truly honoured. In our hearts and minds we pray most fervently this week for the people of Norway as they struggle to comprehend the senseless loss of so many innocent lives last weekend. May they find comfort in each other and courage through faith. We know that some mes there are simply no answers to our ques ons. With heavy hearts we pray most especially this week for Jessica Blakeway (Year 11) and her family as they mourn the loss of Jessica’s father, Neil. A er a period of long illness and struggle he is now at peace in God’s loving eternal care. We hold Jessica, her mother, Beverley, and her brother Sco , close in our hearts as we pray for them at this me of such profound sadness and loss.

A MESSAGE FROM QUEENSLAND CATHOLIC EDUCATION: “Queensland Catholic Educa on authori es have engaged closely with the State Government and support the decision to move Year 7 into secondary school from 2015. The move will be a significant change for both Catholic primary and secondary schools. However, we believe it is the right decision if Queensland is to maintain a world class educa on system. Since the introduc on of the Prep Year, students will be an average of six months older when they reach Year 7 and we believe ready for the challenges of the specialist teaching programs and facili es that the secondary school se ng provides. Importantly, the move will more closely align our school structures with both the delivery of the new Australian Curriculum that will be implemented in Catholic schools from 2012, and with the other States. Projec ons indicate that about 11,000 addi onal students will need to be accommodated in the State’s 85 eligible Catholic secondary colleges from 2015 and planning for the move has already commenced.

“….and I want to ask you, as well as I can, to have pa ence with all that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the ques ons themselves.

To love them like books wri en in a foreign language. Do not search now for answers that cannot be given to you, because you could not live them right now. And the ques on is to live everything.

For the me being, live the ques ons. Perhaps then, one fine day, you will gradually live into the answers without no cing it.” By Rainer Maria Rilke

Over the next three years, Catholic educa on will work with Principals and school communi es along with the State government to ensure this major reform is successfully delivered with the interests of students, teachers, staff and their families paramount.

I am confident that, as with the roll‐out of the Prep Year in recent years, Catholic educa on can successfully deliver this

significant reform to our educa on system.” Mike Byrne, QCEC Execu ve Director

QCMF – All Loreto Music Ensembles except String Septet and Beginner Brass Ensemble perform at QCMF each

year. Both to assist with our prepara on for this big event and also as part of our service to the school and local communi es, there are quite a number of extra events and schedule changes over the next few weeks. Could parents please assist their daughters to remember and meet these commitments, which include the following: extra Sorelle Rehearsals (Thursday lunches 28 July & 4 August), extended Concert Band 1 Rehearsals (Thursdays 4 & 11 August), extra Chorale rehearsals a er Choir on Tuesdays 2 & 9 August, Chorale performing on Informa on Day (Sunday 7 August), Exit Stage Le & Sorelle performing at Mount Carmel Fete (Sunday 7 August), String Ensemble Michael Stocks Workshop (Friday 5 August), Percussion Ensemble One workshop with St Peter’s (TBC – Sunday 14 August), AND Concert Band One / String Ensemble assis ng with Primary Band Camp (Sunday 28 August).

Extended Ensemble Rehearsals – As we have done for the past few years, some ensembles will extend a ernoon

rehearsals slightly in the lead up to QCMF to counteract disrup ons of exams / holidays / staff days / Parent Teacher Interviews etc and to make sure that groups are adequately prepared for their performances. Rehearsals will remain on the same day as usual but be extended slightly to finish at 5:30 pm. At this stage please be aware that Concert Band One rehearsals will be extended to 5:30 pm on Thursdays 4 and 11 August and Chorale will con nue a er regular senior Choir rehearsal un l 6 pm on Tuesday 2 and 9 August.

Mt Carmel Fete – Sorelle and Exit Stage Le have been asked to perform at the Mt Carmel School fete on Sunday 7

Chorale members will need to return to Loreto as quickly as possible a er the performance for their Informa on Day Open Rehearsal.

Parent Helpers – For the past 20 years, Villanova has run the Catholic Colleges’ Music Fes val as a service to the

Catholic community in Queensland. It is now a huge event that runs for four days (Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 August). This is a massive undertaking that relies on the help of a huge number of Villanova parents, students and past pupils. There is now a way we can help! Any Loreto parents or senior students who would be willing to assist by signing up for a 3 hour shi over the weekend can do so via the Villanova website (h p://www.vnc.qld.edu.au/Music/events.htm). You can choose the sort of job you would like and also the venue. Now that our performance schedule has been in the newsle er, it is easy to sign up for a shi directly before or a er one of your daughter’s performances. There will always be experi‐enced people on all shi s who can help make the job very easy. It would be great if the Loreto Community was able to support this important event in our calendar!

MSG – Thank you to all those parents who were able to come along to the Music Support Group AGM last Wednesday.

We would especially like to thank our outgoing Treasurer, Peter Johnston, and Secretary, Julie Greaves. Both Peter and Julie have been long‐term supporters of the MSG, however their daughters are gradua ng this year. Congratula ons and thanks also to Barrie Spring for taking over the role of Treasurer, Nora Kojrowicz and Mary McMahon for volunteering to be joint Secretaries and to Cheryl Feeney, who will con nue in the role of President. We are s ll looking for an Assistant‐Treasurer so please contact the Music Office if you are interested in helping out in this way. At our next mee ng on Wednesday August 10, we will be finalising plans for QCMF, the Primary Music Camp and our end‐of‐year Mega‐Raffle! New members are always welcome to come along.

Science Department News It was a very busy week back a er the holidays with two excursions taking place. Ten of our senior Biology students a ended the QIMR lectures at RBH accompanied by Mrs Marie Shaw. It was a fantas c day for the girls and they obtained a great insight into the workings of a world leading research organisa on. Thanks to Mrs Shaw for overseeing the ou ng. A further 15 senior Chemistry students a ended the QUT Chemfutures day at the Gardens Point campus with me coming along for the ride. The day was filled with lectures about careers in research and industrial chemistry. The girls also got some hand‐on experience in the labs, tes ng chocolate and wine, and there was a great demo at the end of the day involving ice‐cream, liquid nitrogen and sha ering flowers. On both occasions last week, our girls behaved impeccably and represented Loreto in a fantas c manner though their enthusiasm and great manners. Well done, girls!

The Science Experience ‐ The Science Experience is a three day hands on science ac vi es program being conducted by UQ,

Griffith and QUT in late 2011/early 2012. It is open to students who are currently in Year 9 and 10. The program is designed

to help students to make decisions about senior secondary and ter ary studies if they have an interest in the sciences. It is a

also a great opportunity to gain an insight to university life and meet like‐minded students from all over Australia. If your

daughter is interested, she can visit www.scienceexperience.com.au or see me at the College. Ma Lourigan ‐

Young man’s serious accident sparks Earphone Warning Another young man was nearly killed last week which has prompted warnings from police that increasing numbers of children are at risk as they nego ate traffic with music pumping into their ears. Loreto parent Sergeant Jim Bellos said personal stereos such as I PODS could block out warning sounds, such as car horns. He has warned parents about the dangers faced by children listening to music around traffic.

Sport Department News BSGSA Hockey

Results Round 6 ‐ 20 July Open One ‐ Our girls came up against Mount St Michael’s One on our first week back in Term 3 and it was an intense

compe on with some high energy hockey on display. The talent in the opposi on was mainly concentrated in the centre of the field and they managed to take the ball up into our defence zone to good effect, ne ng five goals over the dura on of the match. Tyler Kilvington, Riley Nibbs and Clare Griffiths posi oned in the halves did a great job of restric ng ball distribu on to these players as the fixture wore on, pressuring MSM1 into some poor passes that were adeptly intercepted by our inners, Annabel Tapsall and Elise Gellweiler. The result was some great penetra ng play by our forward line. Isabel Mowen’s accurate and powerful hi ng was on full display as always throughout the game, both in short corners and free hits. Unfortunately luck was not on our side this week and only one of our many shots at goal found the mark, scored by Jemma Stubbs, resul ng in a 5 ‐ 1 loss. A special men on goes to “Killer” Kalani Del Rae‐Maher who changed role mid game from the wing into le half and put up some great solid defence matched with tenacious marking. Thanks goes to Anna Hertle for volunteering to guard the box this game. Well played Loreto One!

Ma Lourigan ‐ Coach

Open Two ‐ A very hard fought match was played against St Rita’s College this week resul ng in a loss of 2 goals to 3.

Both sides were very evenly matched with plenty of opportuni es but few conversions. In the end it was St Rita’s College that came out on top. An excellent effort by all members of the team. Tahlia Simms was our sole goal scorer this week with

two goals. Well done everyone! Alan Lane‐Richardson ‐ Ac ng Open Two Coach

This Week’s Draw: Round 7 ‐ 27 July With two upsets this week and two coaches s ll in a state of shock, the focus will be to set our sights on the game for next week. Both Loreto One and Loreto Two have to win to stop falling on the ladder. A win next week will give Loreto Two an opportunity to meet with St Rita’s College in the final and a win by Loreto One will allow them to play for third or fourth posi on. So the challenge is on and thankfully I have been sacked as coach and don’t have to sit on the sideline bi ng my finger nails. All the best to the two teams for the second semi‐final! Next week Loreto Two will meet with Mt St

Michael’s One. Loreto One will be playing either Brigidine or Mt St Michael’s Two. Alan Lane‐ Richardson ‐ Hockey Coordinator

BSGA Soccer Results Round 6 ‐ 20 July Junior A ‐ The Loreto Junior A soccer team has remained undefeated for the 2011 BSGSA competition with a 1 ‐ 1 draw

in Wednesday’s game against Mt St Michaels [MSM]. MSM scored first, but credit to the Loreto team who bounced back to play some very good football. Our captain Shannon O’Connor had some chances to score however the MSM goal keeper was outstanding and denied us any goals in the first half. Loreto scored from the penalty spot a er Jemima Moore was brought down in the penalty box. Our captain Shannon O’Connor stepped up and took the penalty to give Loreto a 1‐1 draw at full me. Shenae Megahey, Jemima Moore, Bri any Ryan, Emily Hayes and Krystal Hatzipapas all played outstandingly in the defence. Courageous effort by Jana Bellos, who although hit in the stomach with the ball con nued to play on. The force of the strike le the ‘logo’ of the soccer ball imprinted into her skin!!!! All the girls played wonderfully,

so well done team. Jim Bellos ‐ Coach & Katherine Stephanos ‐ Manager

This Week’s Draw: Round 7 ‐ 27 July This week we have one team away and one team at home. The Open A team play against Stuartholme at Bowman Park, Corner of Cecil Road and Bowman Parade, Bardon. The Junior A side have a bye and are through to the final next week and Junior B play Lourdes Hill College at home at Annerley Soccer Club, Victoria Terrace, Annerley (please note that all draws can be found on www.bsgsa.spor ngpulse.net). The home games will finish at 5:00pm and students need to be picked up at the venue. Could parents please ensure that students have their name marked off with Mr Jones on departure. The away game will arrive back at the College at @ 5:30‐5:45pm depending on the traffic. Students are reminded to bring their uniform, shin pads, mouth guards and water bo les. Good luck for Round 7!

Junior A ‐ Mt Alvernia has forfeited their game next week thus making the Loreto Junior A soccer team undefeated for the en re 2011 BSGSA compe on. Well done! As half the team have not played soccer previously, you have made the coach, College and parents very proud. The finals will be on the Wednesday 3rd August, but the venue has yet to be decided. Therefore we have no game tomorrow Wednesday 27/07/11. No Training: Due to the forfeit we will not be

training on Friday 29 July. Chris Jones ‐ Soccer Coordinator

Results Round 6 ‐ 20 July Junior A ‐ First week back a er holidays was a tough game against St Rita's, which we unfortunately losing 8‐13. All the 8A girls played well, pu ng great pressure on St Rita's; especially Marenda McPhee. It was also wonderful to s ll see and hear

their constant enthusiasm and encouragement. Magdaleine Ryan ‐ Coach

Junior B ‐ This team was coached by Madeleine Page and did extremely well winning against Lourdes Hill College 11 to 6.

Junior C ‐ Loreto defeated St Rita’s College 14‐5. A er a late start which resulted in a shortened first quarter, we kept our opposi on scoreless. Rebecca Laurenstein spearheaded the intensity on the court, which quickly caught on! She went on to make some excellent intercepts and contributed to our win from her mid court play. Maddy Catsoulis used her height and coordina on to great effect in the second and fourth quarters as she dominated the goal scoring and scored half of

our total goals! May we maintain our form as we enter end of the season. Mrs Jacqui Gold ‐ Coach

Intermediate A ‐ In a thrilling and somewhat physical game against the Our Lady’s team, our team lost 31‐14. However, the girls played spectacularly with equal possession throughout. Strong winds were a challenge for our goal scorers, and Samantha Firrell should be congratulated for her fantas c shoo ng in the fourth quarter when she only missed a single goal out of seven. Kristen Feuerriegel also deserves a special men on for her defence in the circle and Annie Passingham

was brilliant when she put on the Centre bib. We look forward to finals over the next two weeks! Claire Wilson – Coach

Intermediate B – Loreto lost to St Rita’s College 18 ‐17. A strong opposing team saw the Loreto Intermediate B’s have their first loss of the season. The girls fought hard un l the end and were able to maintain an even score un l the final

moments of the game. A great match to watch, well done girls! Rebecca Healy ‐ Coach

Intermediate C – The team played Mt Maria College losing by 2 points. It was a very close game with the girls finishing

strongly. A sincere thank you to the Miss Ryan for assis ng with the team on the day. Bridget O’Connor ‐ Coach

Intermediate D ‐ A disappoin ng loss to the girls this week ‐ their first of the season. Despite a good effort by all, All Hallows managed to play to their strengths and came out on top. Two more games to go, hopefully both of which will be successful. Once again, a big thank‐you to all the parents and siblings who came to show their support. It was great to see

such enthusiasm despite the chilling winds and cold weather. Emma Williams ‐ Coach Open A – The Open A team had an excellent first half against St Rita's, with some excellent intercepts from Keryn who read the play excep onally in the goal circle. The flow down court was lovely with some crisp drives from both our defence end and our centre court players. Unfortunately St Rita's scored a few quick goals in the last quarter to win by 4 goals.

Adeline Ryan ‐ Coach

Open B – Loreto drew 14 all against Our Lady’s College. A er quite a few weeks off, the girls played a great game, keeping strong and playing smart for the first three quarters. Our defence down the court was impeccable, forcing Our Lady’s to work even harder. Unfortunately, Our Lady’s got going in the fourth quarter but Loreto worked hard to come away with the draw. Special men on must go to Emily McCoy for outstanding defence and back up throughout the en re game!

Good job girls! Larissa Hughes ‐ Coach

Open C – The team defeated St John Fisher 25 ‐ 5. It was an interes ng match as the game was played with shortened posts. Superb shoo ng from Sophie Garre and Alyssa Fitzgerald. All players were consistent and worked well as a team.

Image: photostock / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Today’s kids have 24/7 access to a global community, via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many other social networking sites – information is shared instantly and can reach millions of people in only seconds. As parents, the struggle to support your kids to access the internet is something we deal with on a daily basis – how do we monitor their use and keep them safe, while still allowing them to express themselves and not ‘go without’? Our mini-parenting workshop is for parents and kids alike, and will support you and your children to become cyber-savvy. Psychologist Candice Quinn will provide practical advice on the safe use of social networking, web surfing, downloading and gaming sites, covering both the risks and benefits through the use of interactive case studies. WHERE: Brisbane Family Psychology

(Unit 1B / 172 Evans Road, Salisbury 4107) WHEN: Tuesday 2 August 2011, from 6:30pm – 7:30pm
