Volume 10 - 17 April, 2012 Dear Parents and Students In this season of Easter, as we celebrate the joy of new life and new hope, we seek to be people of joy and light. We seek to find in ourselves new ways of being true to ourselves and to honour the unique gi edness given to each of us by our loving God.

Radiant Rain God (Edward Hays)

You come to us unexpectedly Like a sudden April rainfall

Drenching newly planted flowers.

You rinse the neglected residue From our wearied, worn spirits

And refresh our red desire To give ourselves fully to you.

The steady pa er of your love

Upon the garden of our hearts Ac vates what is best in us. Amen.

May “what is best in us” shine forth during the term ahead, as we seek to be a loving, nurturing and enriching community of learners, striving for excellence in all we do.

TEACHING & LEARNING With a great deal of excitement and a sense of certain an cipa on, today marks an important ‘moment in me’ for teaching and learning at Loreto. Today the Year 8’s become the first recipients of the Loreto student laptop project. This project has been years in the dreaming and the making, so to see this day finally arrive is deeply sa sfying. Once again, I wish to thank the staff who have led and delivered this project for us. In par cular, thanks go to Mr Gavin Swanson; Mr Russ Morgan; Mr Gary Marsh; Mr Suni Nagoji; Mr Chris Henry and Mr Noel Williams.

At the commencement of Term Three, laptops will be delivered to Year 10’s and following that all year levels will have them from the beginning of the 2013 academic year. This equitable access to technology for all students, in all classes, at all mes and at home is seen as a vital ingredient for teaching and learning excellence. This is not to say, of course, that technology will or ever should be used in all classes and/or at all mes, but the access to its use, when so desired, is important.

We thank you for your support of this rollout and for your ongoing interest and involvement as we con nue to work together to ensure our students use technology responsibly and wisely.

CROSS COUNTRY Congratula ons to Mrs Meg Stevens and the Sports department on the success late last term of the College Inter‐house Cross Country event.

WÜtÅt axãá MIDSUMMER (A Play with Songs) On Saturday 14th April, Sia Cambaclis, Sam Bull, Flynn Hall and myself, along with our fellow La Boite Theatre student Ambassadors, previewed La Boite Theatre’s latest production Midsummer (A Play with Songs). This two person show features Cora Bissett and Mathew Pidgeon, who both charm the audience with their Scottish brogue and keep the audience laughing all night. Midsummer follows the escapades of two people stumbling through life (and middle age), focusing on the reality of unfulfilling lifestyles and the possibility of change.

Midsummer (A Play with Songs) is not a love story, rather a story about love, told through a combination of comedic wit and music. In good conscience, I must stress that the content rating of this play is MA15+. We therefore recommend this show to any Year 11 -12 Drama students, staff and/or interested parents and friends within our school community. It promises to be an enjoyable night out!

If you are interested in attending a performance of Midsummer (A Play with Songs) or any of La Boite Theatre’s main stage productions throughout the year, please contact either myself or one of the other La Boite Theatre student ambassadors (Sia Cambaclis -12 Red, Flynn Hall -12 Green or Samantha Bull - 11 White) who will be able to give you significantly discounted tickets. This offer extends to parents and friends of our Loreto College community. We are endeavouring to make the most of this opportunity to represent Loreto College and La Boite Theatre and we want to ensure that we can extend the benefits of the Ambassador Program to the Loreto school community. Rebecca Newman

`âá|v axãá Music Concerts – Our first Music Department concerts for the year will be held on this Friday 20 April and Tuesday 24 April. I would like to remind parents that these concerts are key events in the ongoing development of our ensembles and our students. Attendance by all students at the concert in which their ensemble is performing is compulsory. Our expectation is that all students will arrive on time at 5:30 pm at the Mary Ward Centre and go immediately to meet their conductor in the nominated warm up area (see attached Concert information). The concerts will finish sometime between 8 pm and 9 pm on each night. If your daughter is unable to attend a school concert in which they are listed to perform, then you should contact the Coordinator of Music, Mr Ben Langford, in writing well prior to the event to negotiate a solution. Both concerts are licensed and beer and wine will be available for adults. Alcohol must only be consumed in the “supper” area next to the canteen – glass should never be taken back to the seating area. A complete program for each concert can be found in the attached Concert Information.

Behaviour Expectations – Could parents please remind their daughters of the following expectations that hold true for any music concert 1.

Audience members are expected to be present for the entire concert, whether their performance is first or last on the night – this is a basic courtesy to the other performing groups. Obviously, occasionally circumstances may not allow this to be possible, but students arriving late or departing early should always be approved in advance by the Coordinator of Music.

2.

When not on stage, students should always be seated either with their parents or in the designated Student Seating area

3.

Students are not to gather in the Mezzanine or at the back of the hall at any time during the concert.

4.

After a performance, students should pack up and return to the audience, not stay in warm-up areas.

5.

It is an expectation of a Formal Concert that audience members do not speak during a performance or while the Compere is introducing a performance.

6.

Use of toilets and drinking fountains should be restricted to before the concert or during Intermission.

7.

All mobile phones should be turned off – and not used for texting or calls during the concert.

8.

You should show your appreciation through polite applause only, not calling out / cheering.

Concert Suppers – As Autumn Concert 2 features smaller ensembles and therefore fewer students, could ALL students who are performing at this concert please bring a plate of food for supper. For Autumn Concert 1, could all students who are not involved in the second event please bring a plate for supper. These plates should be delivered to the Mary Ward Centre canteen on arrival at 5:30 pm.

Calendar Dates – I have confirmed Sorelle’s entry into the Crackerjack Carnival “Battle of the Bands” competition. The date for this event will be Friday 1 June, with a likely performance time of 6:30 pm. Could members of Sorelle please add this date to their calendars urgently and contact Mr Langford in the event of any difficulties. Being a small group, if even one or two students are unable to attend, then the performance cannot go ahead!

Secondly, members of Jazz Ensemble and Chorale are reminded of the extra workshops to be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 9 May. On this day, we will be working with John Morrison & Jackie Cooper! John is an amazing jazz drummer and spent many years touring worldwide as part of his brother James Morrison’s quartet. You can find recordings of his playing on the albums such as Snappy Doo & Live at the Sydney Opera House. In recent years, John has shared his time between working with school bands, running his own professional Big Band (Swing City Big Band) and running the Mount Gambier Generations in Jazz festival. Jackie is the vocalist with Swing City, as well as running her own 8 piece band “Itty Bitty Big Band”. Check them out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nsvzDFqJcY Senior Classroom Music – All students in the Year 11 and 12 Music Classes are reminded that we will be going on to see the musical “Annie” on Tuesday 17 April (first week back next term).

fÑÉÜàá WxÑtÜàÅxÇà axãá BSGSA Volleyball – Final Round Reports: On the last Wednesday of term, Loreto Volleyball teams competed in their final round of matches in the BSGSA competition. All teams played exciting games; producing an excellent standard of Volleyball and some very exciting matches.

Open A – Final Placing: Second The Open A Volleyball team finished on a strong note to the season, defeating San Sisto College 2 - 1. This ultimately means the girls have managed a second placing in the competition, just behind All Hallows’. The girls dominated throughout the game with their serving and serve receiving being at the best quality it had been nearly all season. Strong serving from all girls in the first two sets allowed for an easy and well deserved win. Congratulations to all girls for a strong season: Stephanie Esprester (Captain), Aimee Rees, Carla Caputo, Elizabeth Kehoe, Eloise Jackson, Isabelle Mowen, Jessica Gillis, Kristin Feuerriegel, Sarah Pettiford and Tegan Fitzgerald.

Open C –– Final Placing: Premiers Congratulations to the Open Cs on a 2 sets -1 victory over Mary McKillop College on Wednesday which secured them the premiership for the 2012 season. Madison-Rose Young played exceptional in her final game for Loreto and was supported by strong performances from Emmaline-Kate Ball and Maddy Brown. I would like to personally thank all the girls for their tireless work effort and positive attitudes throughout the season. Their strong commitment to trainings and the team was always going to result in a successful season. Congratulations to: Awien Lee, Emily McMahon, EmmalineKate Ball, Isabella Mammone, Kiah Smith, Madeleine Dinnen, Madison Brown, Madison-Rose Young, Mary-Kate Dennis and Sophie Atkinson.

Junior A – Final Placing: Third Our final game of the season was played with top skill and determination and resulted in a 3 set to nil victory over Mt St Michael’s. Strong serving by Shannon O’Connor together with great attacking plays by Wade Bilton and Claudia Miotti were some of the highlights. As this is their final year in Juniors it was a fantastic opportunity for the girls to develop their skills with their fellow peers. Well done, Girls- a great season. Congratulations to: Abigail Raison, Claudia Miotti, Erin Stafford, Gabrielle Stein, Jemima Moore, Mia Page, Rebecca Marshall, Sarah Toohey, Shannon O’Connor and Wade Bilton.

Junior B – Final Placing: Second The Junior Bs played their last game against MMK this week, managing to end the season with a final win 3 - 0! Megan Laycock provided us with some fantastic serving and Kate O'Sullivan demonstrated a great volleyball attitude - chasing down every ball. The girls have improved so much throughout the season and should all be very proud of their achievements! Thanks for a great season girls! Congratulations to: Gabryela Sellars, Georgia Garrett, Georgia Johnson, Isobella Scott, Julia Logan, Kate Hutchins, Kate O’Sullivan, Kelsey Ahrens, Lucy Nielson and Megan Laycock.

Junior D – Final Placing: Third This team saved their best game til last. Unfortunately, the result did not go their way, and they lost the match 2 sets to 1 against St John Fisher. Their serving was spot on as was their rallying in attack. Special mention to Georgia Christie for her consistent back court covering and to Grace O’Shea for her attack on the net. All team members should be proud of the number of three hit attacking plays that were produced in the match. Congratulations to: Anya Anderson, Emma Quinn, Georgia Christie, Grace O’Shea, Kassidy Graham, Kate Duffy, Matilda Ruffin, Nikki Foley, Sabrina Pennsi and Samantha Crawford.

Junior E – Final Placing: Second Opening with a 25 - 12 win to the first set, we thought we were in for rather quick game. This wasn't to be though! Our excellent serving in the first set quickly disappeared, and we were struggling to win rallies. The score however does not reflect what I consider to be the most important factor; game play. We were striving to play real volleyball, setting the ball up for a hit, as opposed to a game that more closely resembled tennis. The girls are to be congratulated for their discipline over the season, which will stand them in good stead in future years on the court! This team has been a real pleasure to coach and consisted of the following players: Aislind Bell, Alice Crawford, Amanda Hansen, Clare Lyons, Jessica Galpin, Jo-Lin Chiang, Ryleigh Bennett, Sidonie Smith, Sophie Hinchliffe and Victoria Flores.

Junior F – Final Placing: Second The volleyball season for the Year 8 F team was an overall success! Starting off the season the girls had little confidence as they were new to the sport. However, as the season progressed, each one of the girls developed a whole new level of skill and confidence and went on to finish 2nd overall. The girls’ serving and overall team work were aspects of the game that pulled them through as well as their positive and determined nature. I have no doubt they will go on to become skilled volleyball players in the years to come! I had so much fun coaching the girls and I hope to coach them again sometime soon. Good luck girls for your future volleyball career. Congratulations to: Annetta Hile, Christina Stephanos, Georgia Fuller, Georgia Paroz, Jesse St Ledger, Julia Beiers, Mia Munch, Sophie Freedman, Zoe McNamee and Zoe Sever.

As this is the final Volleyball report for the season, I would like to extend my congratulations to the all Loreto Volleyballers on their commitment to training and performing and the manner in which they took the court from week to week. To finish with this is an amazing result. All girls played each game in true Loreto spirit: with fun and determination! Stephanie Esprester led from the front; always leading by example, supporting her peers and being a invaluable assistant to me. I would also like to acknowledge our team of dedicated coaches and thank them for sharing their passion and knowledge with the girls: Zach Voll, Justin Feuerriegel, Keira Harris, Rebecca Calder, Lewis Burrows, Mrs Gold and Hannah Meecham. To our staff who generously supervised the travel teams: Mr Wright, Mrs Logan, Mrs Heathcote, Mrs Ward, Mrs Hamilton, Mrs Stevens, Mrs Begley, Mr Lane-Richarson and Mrs Meecham and lastly, to Mrs Wilkinson for all the behind the scene work in the sports office.
