Volume 16 - 28 May, 2013 Dear Parents and Students Forgiveness allows for a conversion of the heart. Forgiveness allows us to grow. Forgiveness is a challenge. Forgiveness hurts. Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness is love. Forgiveness brings a significant change to the people that we can be to others, and to ourselves. It is through forgiving that we see the world differently. We are able to accept ourselves and release the load that we carry unnecessarily. We are able to breathe fully and love equally. In this week of reconciliation, to our indigenous sisters and brothers, we say “sorry”. Together may we turn a new page and “craft a new future” in unity and in love and in peace. Amen. CELEBRATING 85 YEARS “For all that has been – Thank You. For all that is to come – Yes!” Dag Hammarskjold
As we look to the past and to all that has shaped the Loreto that we are today, we say “Thank You”. “Thank you” to the sisters most especially and to all those loyal supporters who have gone before us to help create this wonderful school community; a community so richly and proudly steeped in the ethos and tradition of Mary Ward. The generosity of past generations has provided for us in ways beyond measure and we acknowledge this with truly grateful hearts. At this significant time in our history, when we celebrate 85 wonderful years, we look not only to our past but also to the excitement of our future. With the arrival of Year 7’s in 2015, comes a unique opportunity to renew, reshape and redefine our campus in ways that will not only accommodate the additional students and staff but will also meet the learning needs of Loreto students well into the future.
