Volume 21 - 24 July, 2012 Dear Parents and Students This week is “Catholic Educa on Week” in Queensland. With “Celebra ng Community” as the theme for this year we look to acknowledge and appreciate all aspects of our schools which promote a sense of community and of belonging. The greatest contribu on to any community I believe, is the gi of its people.
The Gi of People People con nually come into my life at just the right moment. Some come to teach, Others to comfort, Some to challenge, And some to affirm. Some people offer me help when I’m struggling, Some give direc on when I am searching, And others bring me home when I have go en lost in the endless tasks of life . . . . How much I have learned, How o en I have been comforted, How many mes I have experienced joy, and How much I have grown because of the presence of other people in my life. (Extract from “The Cosmic Dance” by Joyce Rupp).
This week as we come together for the biannual College Mass we give praise and thanks for the gi s that each person brings to our community. We give thanks for students, teachers, suppor ng staff, parents, past pupils and friends of the College. We look forward to our special celebra on Mass and to welcoming a very special group of senior Past Pupils who graduated from Loreto 50 or more years ago. We look to honour and acknowledge their con nued interest in and connec on with the school.
