Volume 1 - August 2, 2011 Dear Parents and Students Our Semester II College Mass celebrated the theme “A Heart of Flesh”. Loreto is a school deeply immersed in the mission of the Heart. We place learning not only “at the heart” of all we do but we also strongly emphasize the importance of learning ‘about the heart’ and ‘from the heart’. From the Catholic Catechism, the Heart is: the dwelling place where I am, where I live, my home; my hidden centre, beyond the grasp of our reason and that of others. Our inner heart is our soul; it is the very essence of our being. Fr Christopher Gleeson SJ captures our mission of the Heart well when he speaks of education being “a process of learning to savour what moves and affects our hearts and minds”. The heart is commonly reached, not through reason, but through imagination; and it is imagination that allows us to put a mirror to our own experiences - and in that reflection, to discover the true meaning for ourselves and others. Learning ‘about the heart’ is to discover who and what we are and what it is that gives meaning to our lives. Teaching this love of self is a transforming process that develops the whole person in relationship with self and others and it is in that love of others that we are called to give ‘from the heart’.
We pray for the fragile ecology of the heart and the mind. The sense of meaning. So finely assembled and balanced and so easily overturned. The careful, ongoing, construction of love. As painful and exhausting as the struggle for truth and as easily abandoned. Hard fought and won are the shifting sands of this sacred ground, this ecology. Easy to desecrate and difficult to defend, this vulnerable joy, this exposed faith, this precious order. This sanity. We shall be careful. With others and with ourselves. Amen. Michael Leunig
We thus congratulate each recipient of a Semester I Honour Pocket. These girls, who were presented with their Honour Pockets after last Thursday’s Mass, have given ‘from the heart’ – both generously and selflessly. These fine young women exemplify Mary Ward values in their hearts and minds and through their actions. We are proud to duly acknowledge their fine example of what it means to be Loretian through commitment and service. We warmly congratulate these Year 12 Students: Murphy Allendorf Hockey Aishling Briody School Spirit Vail Bromberger Debating & Academic Excellence Leah Brown Academic Excellence

This is the Music Support Group’s single biggest fundraising event for the year and therefore finances the majority of the $8,000 worth of scholarships that they offer to Loreto Students. Students are welcome to book and form their own tables.

Don’t forget that your rehearsals this week and next (4 & 11 August) are extended until 5:30pm. This has been advertised in the past three newsletters and at rehearsals, so it is expected that all members of the ensemble will be available to stay on these weeks.
Mt Carmel Fete – Sorelle and Exit Stage Left have been asked to perform at the Mt Carmel School Fete on Sunday 7 August, starting at 11am. The performances will be held on the Mt Carmel handball courts and students from both groups should arrive by 10:30am as we are performing at 11am. Chorale members will need to return to Loreto as quickly as possible after the performance for their Information Day Open Rehearsal.
Parent Helpers – For the past 20 years, Villanova has run the Catholic Colleges’ Music Festival as a service to the Catholic community in Queensland. It is now a huge event that runs for four days (Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 August). This is a massive undertaking that relies on the help of a huge number of Villanova parents, students and past pupils. There is now a way we can help! Any Loreto parents or senior students who would be willing to assist by signing up for a 3 hour shift over the weekend can do so via the Villanova website (http:// www.vnc.qld.edu.au/Music/events.htm). You can choose the sort of job you would like and also the venue. Now that our performance schedule has been in the newsletter, it is easy to sign up for a shift directly before or after one of your daughter’s performances. There will always be experienced people on all shifts who can help make the job very easy – it would be great if the Loreto Community was able to support this important event in our calendar!
String Sextet – The String Sextet have been asked to provide background music at an International Women’s Mental Health Forum held at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Saturday 20 August. While this is QCMF weekend, and a very busy time for all, we have agreed to this performance. It is a great honour to be asked to play at this very important event. Ben Langford - Director of Music
Year 8 Assessment Planner This week the Year Eight Assessment Planner will accompany the newsletter. This will help you to assist your daughter in organising and completing her assessment items by the due date. In Semester Two, with an increased assignment load, it is important to plan and organise time effectively. We frequently encounter girls trying to copy their assignments on the morning they are due. Any printer or software failure at this late stage will mean the assignment will not be ready for submission. The girls need to plan their time to avoid the last minute rush and anxiety this causes. All assignments are given out well before the due date with sufficient time allowed in class to complete work. Girls are reminded of the need to use this class time effectively and avoid distracting chat and inappropriate use of our internet facilities. The due date of an assessment piece has been established by the amount of work required to complete the task so if students use their time wisely both in class and at home the task will be finished by the due date. I encourage parents to assist their daughters in meeting the deadlines of the assessment requirements with the use of the assessment planner provided.

BSGSA Hockey Results Round 7 - 27 July OPEN ONE Loreto One had a tough afternoon out this round with a hard fought battle against Brigidine. We were short of troops due to illness and were without a goal keeper, putting us on the back foot right from the outset. Our girls put up a great fight and gave it their best over the whole match. Anna Hertle showed a large amount of “ticker”, putting her body on the line in one of her attacking runs up the centre. She had a most impressive face-down stack as she was tackled by the Brigidine full-back, but promptly got up, dusted herself off and ran back to regain the ball. This is despite the strong taste of famed Downey Park turf that would have no doubt lingered in her mouth for a considerable time thereafter! Brooke “Bring It” Postle really came into her own when the chips were down, with rock solid defence at full-back and some scorching 50-60 metre runs up the left side of the field to bring the ball into our attacking zone. She also had a great crack at taking short corners this match. Elise Gellweiler revelled up in the forwards, keeping the Brigidine goalie on her toes with some great shots from the top of the circle. Tyler Kilvington at centre half showed how much her stick-work has developed this year, leaving the opposition scratching their heads at times. Clare Griffiths backed up admirably after her stint in the NAB comp earlier in the week and capitalised on some loose deflections in the circle to score our sole goal for the match. Unfortunately we were not able to claw our way back after Brigidine scored five goals in an unguarded box, resulting in a 5-1 loss. The whole team is to be congratulated on their tenacity and great sporting spirit. They represented Loreto in a fantastic manner by showing Brigidine that we never give up and just enjoy being out on the pitch for the fun of it. You did us proud girls! Matt Lourigan - Coach OPEN TWO Unfortunately the Loreto Two team was defeated by Mt St Michael’s One his week, 3- 0. It was a tough game for the girls but they never gave up, staying strong in defence and making great attacking plays. Awesome work in goals by Lauren Williams, stopping many shots on goal, and fantastic attacking runs by Isabel Christ. Elisa Mooney - Open Two Coach
This Week’s Draw: Round 8 - 3 August Things have not gone our way in the finals. However, those who turned up to play this week thoroughly enjoyed themselves regardless of the outcome. Well done! Loreto One is now out of the top four and will play Mt St Michael’s Two in the final round and Loreto Two is out of the top two and will play Brigidine. The final round for the BSGSA Hockey competition is on Wednesday, 3 rd August. Alan Lane-Richardson - Hockey Coordinator NAB HOCKEY Loreto v Brisbane State High School The second round of the NAB Cup Hockey competition started well with a goal in the first two minutes from a very well executed penalty corner. From this point Loreto never looked back, leading the game to the very end. In the first half Loreto dominated play forcing six penalty corners compared to Brisbane State High’s one. Loreto’s play during the half was fast with very accurate passes between players giving an edge that BSHS found very difficult to match. At half time Loreto commanded a comfortable lead of two goals to nil. After half time the comfortable lead didn’t last. A very determined opposition had picked up the pace and penetrated deeply into Loreto territory scoring quickly after four minutes of play from a field goal. In response Loreto dug deep to match the opposition’s determination and effectively neutralised the attack. The following fifteen minutes of the game remained centre stage with neither team dominating play until eleven minutes of play remained. In the final eleven minutes Loreto scored two more goals and sealed the fate of the game. In the end, Loreto defeated BSHS five goals to two. Two goals were scored by Murphy and Georgia and one by Claire. An excellent effort was put in by all fifteen members of the NAB squad. Well done! Thanks to the wonderful support from all the spectators and helpers who have given up their time to support the team and lend a hand. In particular, thanks to Leah for coordinating the timekeeping and scoring at the game. When writing this report it is not known who we will meet in the final round for Division Seven. As soon as this information is known I will let

Jim Bellos - Coach & Katherine Stephanos - Manager
Results: Round 7 - 27 July Junior B - The Junior B team played against Lourdes Hill in what was a very competitive match. There were several occasions where either team could have scored, particularly Loreto in the second half. Keeleigh proved a formidable striker and was unlucky not to get a goal on more than one occasion. However. the outstanding player was our defender, Brianna, who was on to every ball that came her way and kicked us out of trouble (and with some authority!). After a scoreless game, we went into extra time and then into penalty shoot out where Loreto proved too good coming away with a victory 3 - 2. Brianna, Fifi and Yana all scored goals and Yana was outstanding in goals. While individuals were mentioned it was a real team effort where all players did their best. A big thank you to Jim Bellos who stood in as coach for the day and I wish all the players the very best in their last game of the season .

Open A Soccer - Loreto College 4 (Kearney, Caputo, Milligan, O’Leary) defeated Stuartholme 0 Right from the start Loreto took control of the game, dominating in midfield with great intensity and fast movement of the ball. It was only a matter of minutes when a pass from Zoe-Lee Spero lead Captain Grace Kearney towards goal and 1v1 with only the Keeper to beat. Grace made no mistake capitalizing on the fantastic pass, slotting her shot past the advancing Stuartholme Goal-Keeper to put Loreto 1- 0. Early goals have been hard to come by for the squad this year, but it was no surprise when Carla Caputo used her pace well to beat her marker. Charging into the box from a wide right position Carla slammed home her shot into the roof of the net making it 2- 0 within the first 10 minutes. Chances were coming thick and fast due to a complete performance in midfield by work horse Emme Ball; however these chances were only foiled by an outstanding performance from the opposing Goal-Keeper making a number of good saves. Loreto went into half time 2 - 0 up and looking good. With rock solid defense from Madi Brown and Andrea Plaxton, Stuartholme struggled to get back into the game, especially with the ever reliable Taili Beausang protecting the Loreto goal. The second half was much of the same for the Open A team. Emme Ball and Fiona Malone continued to overwhelm the opposition and take control of the game in midfield - It was only a matter of time until the Yellow and Gold’s would score again. Patient in their search for a third goal, Loreto played some very attractive football and were eventually rewarded through another net breaking shot – this time from Courtney Milligan. 3 - 0 up wasn’t enough however, and the squad pushed for a fourth goal. Late into the game Captain Grace Kearney broke free from a wide position. With only the keeper to beat, but this time from a more demanding angle, Grace unselfishly cut the ball back into the path of the talented Kelly O’Leary who hooked her shot around the keeper finishing with the best goal of the game. It was a great way to finish the game and a great result. Full-time and 4 - 0 was definitely well deserved. Outstanding performances all round by the players; it was good to see such a fantastic team effort. Well done girls, let’s have more of the same next week!

Results: Round 7 - 27 July Junior A - This week was a tough game for the 8A's with only 7 players. It was hard to keep up with Mary McKillop College’s fast game. The girls went down fighting, unfortunately losing 32 - 10. Coach - Magdaleine Ryan Junior C- Loreto was defeated by San Sisto College 31 - 4. This game was very intense and surprising. We lifted our defensive intensity after the first quarter but made little in road in our goal tally, as their defence was exceptional. Full credit to the spirit of our girls who played with their heads held high. Leading the way in the midcourt were Tiarna Brock and Sarah O'Shea. We're looking forward to a more even game in

Intermediate A - In a nail-biting game, the Intermediate A team beat Mt St Michael’s this week, 25-22. The game was close throughout and showcased how much each of our players has progressed during the season. They worked together seamlessly as a team and played to each other’s strengths. Our centre court players performed particularly well and Alannah Jeffcoat and Emily McMahon deserve special mentions for their tenacious defence and opportunistic attacking. We go into our last game of the season with fresh determination.

Intermediate B - Score was St John Fisher 23 - Loreto 15. A slow start by the Loreto girls allowed St John Fisher to get an early advantage, which proved hard to catch up to. The girls managed to pull themselves together for a stronger third quarter. A particularly good effort by Mary Kate Dennis who fought hard in the defensive circle until the end of the game. Coach- Rebecca Healy
Intermediate C – Had a convincing 29 - 7 win over Mt Maria College, which places the team second on the ladder and gains them a position in the grand final match against the strong Mt Maria team this week. Jacqueline West and Melissa Roberts put in an inspired effort in defence, obtaining numerous circle and mid-court intercepts. However, while the team as a whole did not play to their usual standard, the win illustrates they are definitely capable of a much better performance in their last and most important game of the season.
Coach – Bridget O’Connor Open A – The Open A team flowed well down court yesterday against St John Fisher College and delivered some excellent aerial balls into our shooters. The shooting circle was on fire with fantastic accuracy, good use of fakes and short sharp passes around the circle. The final score was 33 - 21. Coach - Adeline Ryan
Open B – Loreto defeated San Sisto 24 - 14. Although the girls had a shaky start, they entered the second quarter phenomenally and kept getting better from there! Strong defence and immaculate transition down the court resulted in a great win. Special mention must go to Georgia Dennis and Eloise Jackson for their teamwork in defence.
Coach - Larissa Hughes
Open C – The girls had a great game today defeating Mary McKillop College 24 - 8. Excellent shooting by Alyssa and great centre court play by Hannah Fowler. Coach – Karen Holahan
