Volume 29 - 16 September, 2014 Dear Parents and Students
Wise and Faithful Guide Wisdom 9:11 Each footstep on the vacillating path of life, Each heartbeat on the rugged road of growth, Each passage on the shifting river of renewal, Each thoroughfare of increasing self-knowledge, Each route on the way toward further freedom, Requires the attendance of your wise presence. Whether the journey is deliberate or unexpected, Whether the voyage is taken inward or outward, With every inch of the tentative way that I travel I count on your companionship and teaching. “Fragments of your Ancient Name” by Joyce Rupp
As we approach the upcoming holidays I take this opportunity to extend our very best wishes to Ms Wood, Ms Begley and Ms Bauer each of whom will be taking long service leave in Term Four. May their time away be nourishing and renewing. To Mrs Matheson we also offer our very special blessings and prayers for her maternity leave; and to Ms Rynne we give our thanks for the time she has so generously given this term to the extra responsibilities as Acting Coordinator of Workplace Learning.
SPRING LUNCHEON I wish to sincerely congratulate and thank the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association (LPPA) on the huge success of the Spring Luncheon. This year we had a record attendance with over 240 guests. This even is hosted by the Association and warmly welcomes our entire community. We enjoyed a ‘Spring’ afternoon with Mums and their daughters from every Year Level, Past Pupils - some celebrating their 35th and 50th year reunions - and for the first time, ‘Loreto Old Boys’! It was marvellous to have everyone with us and many have promised next year to return with two tables (or more!). Particular thanks go to Martine Whitton, President of the LPPA, and her extraordinarily hard working committee. From the beautiful welcome, to the room décor, raffles and more, we recognise that events such as these are a massive and often selfless undertaking. Their wonderful and generous efforts ensured that the afternoon was full of fun, entertainment and much felicitous laughter.
