Volume 33 - 29 October, 2013

At this time I am also especially conscious that our Year 12’s will be looking back this week on just how quickly their time as leaders has gone. They have achieved much and can be well pleased, knowing that they have left a legacy on which others now will build.

I offer particular thanks and gratitude to Mrs Meecham for her careful guidance and masterful coordination of the Year 11’s in the weeks leading up to this point in time and for the commitment and effort she shows each year in preparing the girls so well for their roles as Year 12 leaders.

POTENTIAL FOR HARM – Social Media site Ask.Fm and others I wish to add my voice to those of many other Principals in expressing serious concerns about the potential for significant harm in the “teen/tween” use of free social media sites such as ask.fm; tumblr; formspring and snapchat.

The ask.fm site in particular causes me great concern because it is set up for users to post questions about themselves, or to others, and wait for replies and responses. This sounds innocuous enough, however, what this site lacks is the critically important privacy controls of other mainstream sites and the replies and responses can be completely anonymous.

In terms of cyber-safety this site provides users with an ‘open-door’ to cause and/or receive psychological harm.

The ‘openness’ of this site’s access also means that non-users can easily link in to an individual’s postings via a simple Google search using the user’s name and ask.fm together.

A quick exploration of the site reveals that many young users post inappropriate images of themselves; engage in ‘risky’ profiling and discussion; use offensive language and imagery; and get drawn into negativity which can spiral.

It is vital that on such sites students do not refer to their school and/or give other personal information as this information can be used to track and trace individuals.

The school does not wish to be linked in any way to the ask.fm site and the associated posts. Students who refer to Loreto on this site, via their any comments or postings, are in breach of our expectations and policies.

I have this week asked all students to remove any references to Loreto and have also encouraged them to disable their activity on this and other similar sites, urging them rather to be young women of sincerity, verity, felicity and hope.

I ask all parents to please consider your daughters’ social media activity and her cyber-safety.

Highly recommended sites for parents trying to navigate social media issues are: www.michellemitchell.org/ www.connectsafely.org/ www.aplatformforgood.org/ www.webwise.ie/AskFMExplained.shtm CONGRATULATIONS 

To Gabrielle Djelovic (Year 8) who will be participating in the Gymnastics National Club Championship being held in Geelong (Vic) early next month. We wish her every success.



To all members of Guitar Ensembles 1 and 2 for your outstanding performances at “Grigoryan Nights”, and thank you to Dr Paul Svoboda for his masterful leadership of you all.



To Eloise Carroll (Year 12) who was awarded two bronze and one gold medal at the recent Queensland Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships. Eloise now qualifies for the National Track and Field Championships to be held in Sydney next year.

CONDOLENCES 

To Carla Ghiraldelli (Year 11) and her family on the recent passing of her Grandfather. May he rest lovingly in God’s peace.

Amen.

Yours sincerely

As the end of another year draws near, families are asked to notify the College, at your earliest convenience, if your daughter(s) will not be continuing at Loreto College in 2014. Families are reminded of the College’s student withdrawal policy requiring one term’s notice in writing of any intention to withdraw a student from the College. Formal notice is to be given no later than the first day of the term at the end of which it is intended that the student would leave. In default of such notice, one term’s fees will be payable. Your assistance with this communication would be appreciated so 2014 classes can be finalised before the end of year and appropriate positions can be allocated to girls on our current waiting list.

If your daughter will not be continuing at Loreto College in 2014 please notify the Enrolments and Communications Manager, Ms Emma Beach at enrol@loreto.qld.edu.au or phone the office on 3394 9999.

Thank you.

St Vincent de Paul News I had the privilege of accompanying 15 students from Years 8-11 to visit the Nursery Road Special School last Thursday morning where they were integrated into a variety of classrooms for a few hours. The activities the girls participated in ranged from reading sessions to physical therapy sessions and movie making. Whilst some of the activities were challenging the warmth and generosity of the girls won the hearts of the students they were paired with and praise from the teachers in charge. Three girls were fortunate to work in one of the senior classes where the teacher was a past pupil of Loreto Coorparoo who acknowledged that it was her participation in such an activity that enabled her to realise her vocation.

Sports Department Basketball This Week’s Draw - Round 7 Open A vs All Hallows’ at Loreto (MWC) Open B vs All Hallows’ at All Hallows (bus) Intermediate A (Gold 10’s) vs San Sisto at Mt Gravatt Leisure Com[plex, Mansfield (bus) Intermediate A (Blue 9’s) vs All Hallows’ at Mt Gravatt Leisure Complex, Mansfield (bus) Junior A vs St Rita’s at Loreto (outside court)

Results from Round 6: Open A were defeated by Mt St Michael’s 28 - 22 This was a close match that went down to the wire! Loreto were ten points down at half time and three points down with 30 seconds to go. Mia Page hit a fantastic 3 point bomb, but unfortunately this was not enough to get Loreto across the line. A gutsy effort and it was great to see such determination held until the final siren went.

Open B defeated Brigidine 24 - 17 This match was one of the hardest for the season with Brigidine playing well above their bottom of the ladder position. Great defensive efforts were displayed by Mary-Kate Dennis and Darcy-Rae McCowan. Olivia Mastry continually forced turnovers which enabled Loreto to convert points. This was a hard fought win and all players were supportive and positive throughout the match.

Intermediate A (Blue 9’s) defeated Intermediate A (Gold 10’s) 21 - 18 This was always going to be a tough rematch from Round 1. With the 10’s showing improvement in the last two rounds we knew the score would be close. The 10’s held the lead in the final quarter but fatigue and softer defence prevented the 10’s from securing a victory. Georgia Johnson, Georgia Christie and Sidney Brain were the best for the 10’s, while Sophie Freedman, Stefanie Gjokmarkovic and Zoe Sever lead the way for the 9’s.

Junior A were defeated by Lourdes Hill 37 - 23 Lourdes Hill are placed second on the ladder and were clear favourites to win the match. However Loreto stepped up to the challenge and maintained close contact until half time, being only one point down. Rachael Dalton, Madeleine Miller and Grace Dwyer had strong games. There was improved shooting accuracy and greater confidence displayed which should continue in the last two matches.

Results: Round 6 Open A vs Our Lady’s

Won

6 -2

A vast improvement was noted overall to secure this win. Madison Andrews scored three touchdowns that resulted from evasive, angled running and dummying. Emme Ball powered in attack and Claudia Miotti ran a great in-angle to beat the defence. Well played!

Open B vs MMC

Won

5 -1

An excellent win! The team played with top attack to score 5 super touchdowns. Playing as a team assisted the result rather than playing individually with one-up attack. Acknowledgement to Sam Firrell for her consistent accurate defence.

Inter A vs MSM

Won

8-3

Outstanding team play with the results saying it all! Special mention to Shenae for her hard work.

Inter B vs LHC

Won

10 - 1

Excellent defensive pressure by the whole team. Good talk from Emily Littleton. Great attacking width contributed to some wonderful touchdowns. Excellent team effort and a ‘super’ game from Farren Buckley.

Inter C1 vs LHC (2)

Lost

5 -1

Team played really well given the poor playing conditions. Communication has greatly improved. Well done!

Inter C1 vs MSM

Won

11 – 1

An excellent win. However, all players need to run at the gap and avoid unnecessary sideways movement in attack.

Inter D vs LHC

Lost

0 -4

Great games from all players in attack. However, poor decisions in defence allowed for the four touchdowns to be scored.

Junior A vs LHC

Won

6 -1

A fantastic all-round effort! Ball movement is now clearly evident causing the defensive players to leave scoring opportunities. Great games from Riley Adams, Gabby Lynch and Bridgette Ryan!

Junior B vs MSM (1)

Won

7-2

The team played really well today with four touchdowns from Gabby Miotti, two from Cheyanne Swaney and one from Georgia O’Keefe. Such scores do not occur without the assistance of all attackers in keeping all other defenders busy marking them. Great defence, particularly from Caitlin Faux.

Results from Round 3: Under 13 Had a disappointing loss to All Hallows, going down in the last quarter after leading the game and playing so well. The attack was really good as was the defence however minor mistakes let the opposition score. Coach: Oliver Chamber Under 14 – Had a BYE

Coach: Caitlyn Chambers

Under 15 The girls played exceptionally well and possibly the best they have played as a team. Unfortunately they were very tired in the final quarter and let the win slip away.

Coach: Oliver Chamber Under 16 Had another solid win against All Hallows. This confirms that they are the team to beat this season. Focusing on defence in the game, the girls held on to win 13 – 2.

Coach: James Duffy Under 18 Had a great game and the team worked particularly hard to defeat Brigidine. During attack the girls had a good setup, although they needed to work on spacing their mushroom to allow the ball to get into centre forward. In defence the girls were laddering back well although at times we were letting opposition players swim past us to get a counter attack. During counter attack the team were spotting the counter and getting the ball up quickly which was excellent. Overall the team had a good first game combined with the Warriors.

Coach: James Duffy
