Volume 8 - 17 March, 2015 Dear Parents & Students In this season of Lent in which alms giving is asked, I invite you to visit the newly launched website of Mary Ward International Australia at www.mwia.org.au Mary Ward International Australia (MWIA) focuses on the empowerment of women and children, community development, social justice, poverty reduction, healthcare and protection against violence and trafficking. The types of projects MWIA sponsors include:  Primary, secondary, tertiary education for children and young people.  Adult education, such as life skills, vocational training, literacy and numeracy.  Community development, including leadership and organisational training.  Rural development.  Community savings and micro-credit schemes.  Health assessments, medical and surgical care, therapy and rehabilitation.  Hostel accommodation and other support to enable access to health and education for people from remote and conflict areas. MWIA supports funding principles which provide opportunities for whole communities to become self–sustaining. Digging wells, training teachers, equipping clinics, supporting community gardens and running a variety of training programs enables whole communities to grow and develop. To find out more about their projects and/or to support them in this important work, please visit www.mwia.org.au CONGRATULATIONS  To the Loreto Swimming Squad for their commendable efforts in the CaSSSA Interschool Swimming Carnival last week. Finishing 7th overall and 7th in the Percentage Trophy the girls can feel well pleased with their efforts, as the team achieved an impressive 54 “Personal Best” times on the day. This fact alone demonstrates a commitment to personal excellence and to giving one’s best. We thank Mrs Stevens and Swimming Captains, Brittany Ryan and Samantha Crawford, for their leadership and encouragement. We also thank the spirited Year 12 and Year 8 cheer squad who gave their very best in support of the team. Well done Loreto.
