Volume 13 - 7 May, 2013 Dear Parents and Students “Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future: hope.” The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom In this, our 85th anniversary year, I very much look forward to the official launch of our eagerly anticipated Master Plan at the Great Gatsby Gala Ball on 1 June. Following the State Government’s announcement in 2011 to have Year 7’s as part of all secondary schools in 2015, it was immediately clear to us that any necessary Year 7 developments should be considered in conjunction with future capital building requirements. Therefore, the College Council engaged leading architects, Thomson Adsett, to develop a facilities Master Plan for the whole College site. An important part of the process used by Thomson Adsett has been the representative consultation with key stakeholders and the formation of a Capital Works and Property Committee, comprising community members who have industry expertise and experience, to advise the School Council. The exciting vision that has emerged will, with the support of the community, re-define the campus in a number of significant and important ways over time. As we look “beyond today” to develop the College in ways that are respectful of our heritage and consistent with our ethos, we will be: enhancing many positive attributes and assets that already exist; refurbishing and remodelling some of the older facilities; and adding some very exciting new developments to address the important educational imperatives that have been identified as part of this significant Master Planning process. The beautiful campus that we enjoy today is unquestionably thanks to the generous support and efforts of those generations who have gone before us. Today’s campus is their legacy to us. We offer them both thanks and deep appreciation. What then will our legacy be to the future generations of Loreto students? With your support, together we can make a remarkable difference “beyond today”. In anticipation, I thank you for support and look forward to sharing more details of the Master Plan with you.

GROWTH IN LORETO SPORT In recent years we have seen a pleasing increase in both the numbers of sports being offered at Loreto and also in the number of teams representing the school in various sports. Last year we introduced two new sports to the Loreto sporting schedule: Waterpolo (3 teams) and AFL (2 teams). As ‘first seasoners’, the girls enjoyed the opportunity to learn new skills, to improve their fitness and to have fun together. We also introduced a swimming clinic in Term Four last year which carried over into the new year. Additionally we added a Swimming Team Camp to the schedule to build skills, fitness and team spirit. I am also pleased to see the growing number of girls participating in the running program. With a training squad of 60 we are seeing some real benefits in terms of fitness and endurance. This coming weekend they will participate in a Cross Country/ Athletics camp which should also bring benefits. This camp is another new initiative for sport at Loreto. Importantly we have also increased the number of teams playing the popular sports of Volleyball, Netball, Basketball and Touch Football for the school. The number of girls now participating in Netball has increased by 67% and Volleyball by 60% since 2010. This growth in sport represents a significant improvement and I thank both the Sports Department and Mrs Stevens, Director of Sport, for their vision, commitment and efforts in this regard. As you might well imagine this growth in sport has placed increased pressure on our facilities and our staffing, however, with the support of Loreto staff, parents, students and past pupils all working together, we will continue to look for creative ways to maximize the sporting opportunities for our students. YEAR 11 RETREAT I was pleased to learn from both the staff and the students, on their return from last week’s Year 11 retreats, that the experience was so special. I thank the staff involved, in particular Mr Donnelly, Mrs Ward and Mrs Meecham, for their leadership and time given to the very important program which emphasizes holistic and spiritual growth through faith, hope and love. I thank the students for their openness to the experience and for their engagement and positive participation. CONDOLENCES
To Cara Wing (Year 9) and her family on the recent passing of Cara’s grandfather. May he rest in God’s loving care. Amen.
To Monica (Year 12), Daniela (Year 9) and Guilia (past student) Lazzaretti on the passing of their much loved Nonna, Annamaria. May she rest peacefully now in God’s loving care and welcome embrace. Amen.
Yours sincerely

Just a reminder to all our debaters regarding debating etiquette: please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of your debate and remember – no whispering to each other while the other team is debating. This is, however, a rare opportunity to pass notes to each other while the opposition is talking! Most of our teams are still in the running to be eligible for the Finals Rounds. To be eligible, a team must have won at least three debates in the preliminary rounds. Keep arguing! John McKinlay - Debating Coordinator Affirmative

Music News Congratulations - To the members of the Chorale and Flute Ensemble One. Both groups performed for community events over the past week and represented Loreto College with distinction. Thanks also to the teachers who accompanied the girls – Mrs Cathy Anderson, Ms Ysolt Clark, Mrs Anna Nielson and Ms Breana Cohen. Upcoming events - On Thursday 23 May, St Elizabeth’s at Tarragindi are holding an Under 8’s celebration with the theme “Celebrating Community, Sharing Music, Movement and Culture, Think Locally”. We will be sending the Clarinet Ensemble to support this local school by performing at their 9:00 am opening assembly. We will transport students directly from and back to the school by taxi and they would miss Periods 1 and 2 of classes that day. The students will be accompanied by their conductor, Ms Melissa Cox. Music Support Group – The next meeting of the Parents Music Support Group is tomorrow - Wednesday 8 May. New parents are always welcome. Meetings are held in the Gonzaga Barry Building, begin at 7:30 pm and always finish by 8:30 pm. We are currently finalising preparation for the Loreto Trivia Night, which is on Saturday 18 May. Loreto Music Festival – Heats for the Festival have begun this week. A schedule for all heats was published on the Music Noticeboard last week. Students must take careful note of the following:
There are sometimes multiple heats for one section – all students should attend the first heat. If you are unavailable for any heat, you should contact the teacher adjudicating that section and organise with them which heat you are able to perform at.
If you decide you are not prepared enough to perform at your designated heat, you must contact the teacher adjudicating that section prior to the day of the heat. If you do this, then there will be no penalty. If you simply do not show up, 5 points will be deducted from your house tally!
It is compulsory for all students to bring a copy of their music to the heat to hand in to their adjudicator.
Don’t forget that you cannot perform a piece that you have learnt during rehearsals with your regular ensembles (eg Vocal quartet performing a Senior Choir piece learnt last year).
World’s Biggest Orchestra – During the July holidays, Australian Jazz Icon James Morrison will be organising a Guinness Book of Records world record attempt at forming (and actually playing music with!) both the World’s Biggest Orchestra (6500 musicians) and the World’s Largest Trumpet Section (1200 musicians)! The events will be held on Saturday 13 July at 12.00pm in King George Square (Trumpet) and 3.00pm in Suncorp Stadium (Orchestra). There is a $15 registration fee and all the information and music can be found at this website: http://www.worldsbiggestorchestra.com. If enough students are interested, then we will organise a Loreto group to enter. Please let us know if you want to be part of this massive event by emailing the Music Department (music@loreto.qld.edu.au).

Naplan Testing NAPLAN 2013 "The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It has been an annual event for schools since 2008. On Tuesday 14, Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 May, Loreto students will take the 2013 NAPLAN tests. NAPLAN assesses skills in literacy and numeracy that are developed over time, through the school curriculum. NAPLAN is not a pass or fail type test, but rather shows how students are progressing in numeracy and literacy skills against national standards for all Australia children. It also provides valuable information that allows schools and governments to better target effort and support to help all students achieve their potential and acquire the basic skills to help them build successful and happy lives. All students are expected to participate in the tests. Students with disability may qualify for reasonable adjustments that reflect the support normally provided to them in the classroom. Some students with very specific circumstances may be exempted from participating in the tests. For information about participation in NAPLAN, you can go to: http://www.nap.edu.au/naplan/parent-carer-support.html NAPLAN tests fundamental skills rather than specific content, and as such is not a test for which students can study or drill. The best way you can help your child prepare for NAPLAN is to let them know that NAPLAN is just one part of their school program, and to urge them to simply do the best they can on the day. The use of services by coaching providers is not recommended. An individual student NAPLAN report will be issued by the school later this year. Parents can use this information to monitor how their child is progressing and to identify any areas of concern. Parents may also wish to use their child’s results to discuss progress with teachers. More information is available at www.nap.edu.au Pat Elsworthy - Deputy Principal Curriculum
Public Speaking Well done to our Rostrum speakers who presented their speeches at QUT on 27 and 28 April. The girls were well prepared and spoke with confidence and poise.
