Dear Parents & Students
Despite the chill of winter, I “warmly” welcome you all to Term Three. I particularly welcome our visiting students from Japan who will be with us this week. We also have two French students visiting us for a few weeks so I extend to them a warm welcome to Australia and to the Loreto community.
This term we welcome back from leave the following staff: Mrs Ashton, Mr Deveson, Mrs Kearney, Ms Tilly and Mrs van den Brink. Joining us for a few weeks we also have Mrs Dowling, Mrs Sampford and Mr Willis. We also welcome home our Japan Trip travellers who all had a most wonderful time visiting Kanagawa Gakuen School in Yokohama over the holidays.
During the coming three weeks, whilst Mr Pat Elsworthy is on leave, Mr Matt Lourigan will be the Acting Deputy Principal – Curriculum and Ms Rachel Cody will be the Acting Science Coordinator. Also, during Mrs Chris Cuskelly’s leave this term, Ms Christine Rynne will be the Acting Workplace Learning Coordinator.
COLLEGE MASS The Semester Two College Mass will be held next Thursday, 31 July in the Mary Ward Centre at 11.00am. I extend to parents an invitation to join us if you are able to do so. As part of our “Catholic Week” celebrations we will once again have with us some very special visitors: Loreto Past Pupils who graduated from the College 50 years or more ago have been invited to attend and to share lunch and a chat afterwards with some of our Year 8 and Year 12 students. I am delighted to know how much this event is now looked forward to and thank the students in anticipation for their interest and enthusiasm and for making these special visitors so very welcome.
YEAR 12 FORMAL I congratulate and thank the Year 12’s on the great success of their very special ‘night of nights’. It was a delightful occasion. It is always such a wonderful privilege to be present and to celebrate this special event with the girls whose sense of excitement and joy is as contagious as it is delightful. Special thanks go to Ms Diamond and the formal committee for all their careful planning, organisation and efforts.
