Volume 25 - 21 August, 2012 Dear Parents and Students In recogni on of both the talent and the efforts of our musicians and our athletes I offer this reading from the Gospel.
“You are the light of the world.
A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
No one, a er ligh ng a lamp,
puts it under the bushel basket,
but on the lampstand, and it gives light
to all in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine
before others, so that they may see your
good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.”
Ma hew 5 : 14‐16
I commend the students on making the most of their God given talents, and on striving to produce their best. Their contribu on at both the QCMF (Queensland Catholic Music Fes val) and the CSGSSA Athle cs this week is greatly appreciated. The Musicians, in par cular, had wonderful successes and deserve high praise. Sta s cally, this was Loreto’s best ever QCMF. More importantly though, so many of the groups played to their poten al, winning high quality praise from the adjudicators. In all, Loreto received: 13 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Bronze Award and 4 Individual Excellence Awards. Well done! The Athletes too we know gave their best. As a team although we came 8th overall, we came a credible 5th in the Percentage Trophy which is arguably, the be er measure of rela ve performance and an impressive 3rd in the All‐Age Relay. I offer my thanks to the music and sports staff, trainers and tutors for their interest, skill and commitment. Your belief in the girls makes all the difference. “Do not bury your talents, lent to you by God to be expended in service.” Mary Ward
