Volume 13 - 5 May, 2015 Dear Parents & Students In our Catholic tradition, during the month of May we offer particular devotion to our divine Mother, Mary, Queen of Angels. As a Loreto school, we especially honour and reverence Our Lady. Mary, as a woman and a mother, provides us with inspiration and hope. To her we pray especially as the protector of all Mothers. We especially ask for her care of the Mothers of both Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran as they each, like her, grieve for the cruel, painful and devastating loss of a precious and loved son. May Andrew and Myuran rest eternally at Peace.
Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us. Mary, Mother of all Mothers, pray for us.
Mary, gracious woman of dignity, pray for us. Mary, Mother of all Children, pray for us. Mary, our guide and protector, be with us always. Amen.
This week we welcome the return of both Mrs Heathcote and Mrs Williams who will be with us for the remainder of the term replacing Mrs Ward who is on leave. We also warmly welcome Ms Kate Biskupovich and Ms Bronwyn Platz to Loreto. They will be working respectively in Learning Support and the English faculty, as replacement teachers for Mrs Jody Anderson who will be taking Maternity leave later this week and who will be on leave for the rest of the year. We wish Mrs Anderson every blessing for the impending birth of her first child. We hold her especially in our hearts and prayers. BEST WISHES 
We extend to Mr John McKinlay our very best wishes for the future. Unfortunately Mr McKinlay leaves Loreto this Friday to take up a permanent position at Terrace next week. We thank him for all he has given in service to the Loreto community these past five years. Especially we thank him for his contribution to the Maths department, the Year 11 Pastoral team and to Debating. We are most grateful to Mrs Jan Findlay for her availability to take responsibility for Mr McKinlay’s classes until the end of the term.

Breaking down Bullying Survey This week, all parents will receive a letter inviting your child to participate in a University of Queensland research project – Breaking down Bullying Survey. This would involve your daughter completing a 45 minute survey at the end of Term 2 and a second survey in Term 4 this year. All responses will be completely confidential and anonymous and participation is completely voluntary. I invite you to complete the Parent Consent Form and return it to the College by Monday 11 May. The aim of the research is to gain a better understanding of the impact of bullying and a more effective instrument for assessing its prevalence. Thank you. Helen Carty – Deputy Principal – Pastoral

Maths News Next week, the Loreto Numeracy Club will be launched, beginning on Tuesday 5 May. The Club is open to all girls in Year 7. It will meet at 8am every Day 2 and Day 5 in Room 514. Here your daughter can be given individual attention from a peer mentor, as her learning is guided by a teacher. It is the ideal place for coming to polish off times tables so that these number facts become automatic and fast, as well as harder things such as fractions, decimals, percentages, perfect squares and square roots just to name a few! We ask that you encourage your daughter to make use of this exciting opportunity and we look forward to watching the growth in her confidence as her number facts become automatic. Please have your daughter come equipped with a whiteboard marker. pen and a small exercise book. (This can be one from last year that has some unused pages.) This opportunity is in addition to the Maths Help Room which continues to run every day before school in Room 217. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the girls in Years 10 and 11 who have taken up the challenge to become Peer Mentors for this program. Their enthusiasm for this venture during their training session was clearly evident and highly infectious. Adrian Corrado - Curriculum Leader - Mathematics
Science News On Monday 25 May all Year 11 Biology students will be going to North Stradbroke Island for a Field Trip which forms an important part of their course. The data collected contributes to a summative assessment item. The students will be studying Sand Dune Ecosystems, the Biology of Brown Lake as well as the Mangroves at Myora Springs. To maximise the time spent on the island we will need to have an earlier than normal start and later finish to the day. Students need to be at school at 7.50am as we will be leaving at 8.00am sharp to catch the 9am barge. The anticipated return time to Loreto is approximately 5.30 pm. Further information such as required clothing, footwear and equipment will be distributed in class to all year 11 Biology Students in the coming days. Matt Lourigan - Curriculum Leader - The Sciences
Language Department News German Last Thursday we bid a sad farewell to the guests from our sister school, the Maria Ward Schule in Bad Homburg. The twenty German exchange students and their accompanying teachers Frau Eder and Frau Heiny had a wonderful time during their short stay in Brisbane. Highlights included visits to Stradbroke Island, Sea World and Australia Zoo as well as a variety of specially organised classes which offered a taste of life in Australia. Thank you to the following teachers for their involvement in the German exchange program; Mrs Duncan, Mrs Meecham, Ms Ham, Mr Jones, Ms Wood, Mrs Shaw, Mrs Nielson, Ms Badke, Hada Sensei and Ms Davidson. Thank you also to the Facilities staff, the Sports staff, Mrs Bongaarts, Mrs Kelly and Mrs Oliver for their support. I would like to offer a sincere thank you to the Loreto families who hosted our international guests. Without your generosity, the exchange program would not have been possible. Above all, I would like to thank Mrs Peita Ward and Ms Amy Stewart for their hard work in ensuring the continued success of the Loreto College Coorparoo – Maria Ward Schule exchange program. We are looking forward to seeing our German friends again during our return trip to Bad Homburg in November. Congratulations to Lauren Causer and the Multicultural Council for the hospitality shown to our German guests upon their arrival. The girls prepared a lovely welcome lunch for our visitors. The Multicultural Council also organised wonderful celebrations for German Day on Wednesday 22 April. The Pretzels were a huge hit at morning tea and the fusball competition at lunch was equally enjoyable. Thank you, girls!

Thank you to the families who have volunteered to host girls from our sister school, Kanagawa Gakuen in Yokohama, Japan. A group of 18 girls from Kanagawa Gakuen will be visiting Loreto from Wednesday 22 July to Tuesday 28 July. We are still looking for at least five Loreto families to host these student. Loreto girls do not have to be studying Japanese to host these students. The students from Yokohama are around 15 years old and are very keen to improve their English. Please see the flyer in this newsletter for additional information. If you would like to host one of the Yokohama students, please return the slip to student reception by Tuesday 12 May. French Congratulations to Frances Wong (Year 11) who was recently awarded a scholarship as part of the 2015-16 Queensland Swiss student exchange program. This is an annual opportunity offered to Year 11 students of French, German and Italian whereby they spend nine weeks in Switzerland over the Christmas holidays and host a Swiss student in Term Three. Frances completed a lengthy application in French and English and was highly recommended by her teacher, Mrs Nat Dawes. We congratulate Frances on this wonderful achievement and we know that the exchange program will be a most worthwhile experience for her. Thank you to the Della (Brooke Year 10) and Lynch (Gaby Year 10) families for offering to host two French NACEL students who will be in Brisbane from Saturday 11 July to Wednesday 5 August. We look forward to welcoming Camille Coulon and Victoire Janier-Dubry to our College in Term Three. Year 12 French students are reminded about the French film afternoon which will take place on Thursday 14 May from 3:30-5:30pm. A French style afternoon tea will be served before viewing the acclaimed film, Welcome. It promises to be an enjoyable afternoon for all involved. Louise Tilly - Curriculum Leader - Languages

It is most gratifying that six out of ten teams have won both rounds so far. A reminder to our debaters that if your team wins three or four preliminary debates then your team will progress to the Finals in Semester 2. This will be my final report on debating so I would like to thank the coaches for the time they put into assisting their teams and for attending the debates. I would like to thank the debaters for investing the time and energy into this wonderful activity. I also thank the parents for ensuring that their daughters get to the venues on time and for supporting Loreto Debating. John McKinlay - Debating Coordinator
Music News Music Tour Congratulations to all members of Chorale and Big Band, who performed in Mount Gambier at the weekend competing at Generations in Jazz . We hope they had a wonderful experience and look forward to hearing about it on their return. Autumn Concert Series Information We have run two very successful concerts so far and are gearing up for the final concert next week on Friday 8 May. This will be the biggest concert in terms of size of performing groups and number of people attending so could all parents and students please take careful note of the following information? * The concert will start at 6:30 pm and run without intermission to finish between 8 pm and 8:30 pm – students are expected to be in their warm-up venue preparing by 6 pm on the night. * From 6 pm until the start of the concert, parents are invited to have a light supper and are able to purchase beer/wine/soft drinks from the bar. Members of the Guitar Ensembles 1 & 2 are asked to bring a small plate of savoury snacks to the concert to supply this supper.
The program order for the event is as follows:
Autumn Concert Three Friday 8 May (Mary Ward Centre): Symphony Orchestra; Concert Band One; Concert Band Two; String Ensemble; Guitar Ensemble Two; Guitar Ensemble One * IMPORTANT – please note the slight change to the order of the Percussion Ensembles at Concert One! * There will be no Big Band rehearsal on the day of Autumn Concert Three so that those students can go home and be able to return by 6 pm

1.
Students are expected to attend the whole of a concert in which they perform – not arrive late or leave part-way through. When not in warm-up or on stage, students should sit in the nominated Student Seating area of the audience and listen to their friends and peers perform. The changes of format we are trialling in this series have been mainly introduced so as to the make this participation possible for parents and students. If there is a specific reason that a student is unable to stay for a complete concert, parents should be now have contacted the Director of Music to make arrangements.
2.
Students are expected to wear full Academic Day uniform (including stockings, not socks) for all performances. The only exception to this is members of Guitar Ensemble who will wear all black for their guitar performance and then change if involved with another group.
3.
We would ask that during musical items no-one in the audience uses tablets or phones as this is disrespectful to the musicians on stage. Students using phones at any stage during the concert will have them confiscated by supervising teachers.
4.
For Health and Safety reasons, beverages (especially glassware) cannot be taken into the seating area of the concert venues. Each venue will have designated areas near the bar where drinks and snacks can be consumed. Service at the bar will finish 5 minutes before the scheduled start of each concert.
Rehearsal Changes – Big Band Additionally, due to the Autumn Concert on Friday 8 May, there will be no rehearsal that day. See you all again on Friday 15 May (Mission Day). Donations Please The annual Loreto Trivia Night is almost upon us! Run by the Music Support Group as both a social evening and fundraiser, the Trivia Night is one of the groups three main opportunities each year to raise the money necessary to continue to support the Beginner Ensembles Program. We are now looking for donations that could be used as prizes for the Trivia Night. Any small items that can be grouped to make prize boxes for tables of 8-10 people would be ideal and could be left at either the main College Office or the Music Office. Boxes of chocolate, $1 & $2 Scratchies, Movie / iTunes / Playstore gift cards or similar items are all fantastic ideas that would be most welcome! Music Support Group The next meeting for the Music Support Group is on Wednesday night 13 May, where we will be finalising preparation for the Loreto Trivia Night, to be held on Saturday 23 May. The meeting will be held in the bottom level of our new Cruci building and all parents of music students are welcome to attend! Loreto Music Festival Heats begin this week from Wednesday 6 May, please see attached schedule of heats. Don’t forget to bring a copy of your music and accompanist music (where applicable) to your audition. Ben Langford - Coordinator of Music
Public Speaking Rostrum Last weekend was an exciting one for Loreto's Public Speaking participants. Loreto entered twelve contestants into the Rostrum Voice of Youth held at QUT. The girls were well prepared and most have attended meetings every lunch for a number of weeks, including last term. Many girls have also attended meetings before school. This demonstrates their dedication and how earnest they were to better their communication skills and their persuasive writing techniques. Each girl is to be congratulated on her enthusiasm, presentation and behaviour as well as on her speech. Moving forward to the next round are: Amelia Abdelrazek, Bridgette Dabinett, Sophia Dabinett and Ruby Daly. Harriet Thelander was chosen as a reserve. The next round is on May 16. More details will follow. We look forward to following their progress and wish them well. We congratulate each of the participants.
Year 7: Charlotte Culshaw, Sofia Gray, Mikayla Staples, Harriet Thelander Year 8: Bridgette Dabinett, Presley Woods Year 9: Kaitlyn Carey, Emma Lynam Year 10: Sophia Dabinett, Ruby Daly, Jemima Ede Year 11: Amelia Abdelrazek On behalf of the students I would like to thank those members of staff who last week gave their lunch breaks to help me hear the girls - Ms Emma Beach, Ms Helen Carty, Mr David Grimes, Ms Stephanie Nolan and Mrs Marie Shaw. Your time was most appreciated. The finals for the senior competition are on 13 May at ESU House.

Amelia Abdelrazek, Georgia Garrett On Monday night, two of our senior students participated in the ESU (English Speaking Union) competition at ESU House at Park Road. We are lucky to have had two such capable students represent us so well. They are Amelia Abdelrazek (who had to write and learn a new speech after also entering Rostrum) and our school captain, Georgia Garrett. Both girls spoke confidently and persuasively and fully engaged the audience. In fact, despite a very high standard of competition, they were both chosen to speak at the Finals. Congratulations, Amelia and Georgia! The finals for the senior competition are on 13 May at ESU House. ESU - Junior Competition Years 7 - 10 Any girl wanting to know about this competition is asked to see or email me to express their interest in the next two weeks. While the competition is not until Term 3, preparations, research and speech writing need to begin soon. Rosemary O'Neill - Public Speaking Coordinator
Sports Department CaSSSA Touch Football Congratulations to all players on their first season of Touch Football for Loreto. The Year 7’s continued in their winning ways with the 7A team taking out the premiership and the 7B team being declared joint premiers as the score was drawn at full time. The 8A team had some very experienced opposition and can be commended on their performance. The 8B team limited the scoring opportunities of their opposition as this was a replay of their Round 7 game, so their placing in fourth position showed considerable improvement over the season. In summary, two premierships , a second and a fourth placing in 7- team divisions is a fantastic outcome! Sincere appreciation is extended to all coaches and to Ms Isabel Taylor for her assistance in coaching and refereeing. 2015 Touch Football Captain, Madison Witt, confirmed her value by ably assisting the coordinator where possible as well as refereeing at games and trials, so I extend my thanks to her.
