Volume 26 - 28 August, 2012 Dear Parents and Students In the words of Robert Collier “We can do only what we think we can do.
We can be only what we think we can be.
We can have only what we think we can have.
What we do, what we are, what we have,
all depend upon what we think”.
Think great things.
In a school pursuing excellence, right rela onships, wellness of all beings, all things and all crea on, connectedness with and empowerment of others, may we each, through our thoughts, ac ons, imagina on and prayers, dream a greater world into being by “thinking great things”. This we pray through Christ our Lord, for the greater Glory of God. Amen.
LORETO GOVERNANCE On the weekend, Loreto Principals and Chairs of Council from Loreto Schools around Australia gathered in Melbourne to meet with the Loreto Province Leader, Sr Margaret Mary Flynn IBVM and with members of the Na onal Loreto Educa on Council. We met, in part, to refresh and renew our shared Loreto Vision and also to collec vely discuss, discern and shape our preferred future. Being part of a na onal and interna onal “sisterhood” of schools is both a privilege and a blessing. We draw strength, inspira on and wisdom from our tradi on and from each other. “Loreto is commi ed to a shared mission to transform the Church and the world par cularly by empowering women to seek truth and do jus ce.” Loreto Australia and South East Asia
