Volume 34 - 4 November, 2014 Dear Parents and Students I asked for health that I might do great things I was given infirmity that I might do better things, I asked for riches that I might be happy I was given poverty that I might be wise; I asked for power that I might have the praise of people; I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I ask for all things that I might enjoy life I was given life that I might enjoy all things; I got nothing that I asked for but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all, most richly blessed. Amen. Source: Loreto Prayer Book “Prayer Times”
How quickly the end of the year is approaching. This week we have our last classes with the Year 12’s (before their exams) and we now begin the rituals of farewell and thanks to them. We thank them for their leadership, their spirit, their energy and their generosity. May the uncertainty of the future not worry nor trouble them, for they can be quietly confident in the knowledge that they are richly blessed and duly ready to step forward proudly as Graduates of Loreto. This Friday the Year 12 Leaders formally ‘handover’ their leadership to the Year 11’s who are eagerly awaiting the excitement and the challenges of the year ahead. I congratulate the Year 11’s on their fine selection of nominees for School Captains and look forward to the leadership announcements tomorrow. Those students nominated for School Captains in 2015 are:
Leah Carey
Grea Effeney
Georgia Garrett
Justice
Freedom
SINCERITY
Verity
Felicity
