3 May 2011
Dear Parents and Students Welcome back from a short, much looked forward to, holiday. I trust that your Easter break was both upli ing and joyful. In this Easter season we pray: May the resurrec on be for you “hope and joy”; May you find in His story “hope and love”; May the promise of Easter bring you “hope and peace” and May the “Hope” of joy, love and peace Bring you closer to your God In all that you are and all that you want yourself to be, for the greater Glory of God. Amen. This term we warmly welcome back from leave both Mrs Peita Ward and Mr Terry Cu s. We also welcome to Loreto this term, Ms Carmel Hickey. Ms Hickey will be replacing Mr Bill Kenny, who is currently on long service leave. CONGRATULATIONS To Barry House for their recent win in the Inter‐house Cross Country event, held on the last day of Term One, and to Mornane on their win in Spirit points. Special congratula ons to Age Champions in the Inter‐house Cross Country: 13 Years Kate O’Sullivan 14 Years Hannah Wixted 15 Years Kira Streten 16 Years Eloise Carroll 17 Years Georgia Dennis

To the Loreto Guitar Ensemble (#1) – not only on their fabulous front page billing in the Courier Mail on April 15th – but also on their magnificent special guest performances at the Powerhouse Arts with Ka e Noonan and Karin Schaupp. The audience was truly mesmerized and in awe of your talent and your professionalism.
