THE YEAR OF FREEDOM OLIVIA ROGERS & BRIDGETTE RYAN

This is an edited version of the Freedom Address delivered by College Captains, Olivia Rogers and Bridgette Ryan, at the Inaugural Mass in February 2017.

When we think of freedom, we think of breaking free, being released or being able to do whatever we want. However, this is a limited understanding of freedom.

Saint Augustine taught that true freedom is not unlimited choice or lack of restraint, but being who you are meant to be.

It is a path that is established by having faith and trust in God and in yourself. Freedom is the ability to be yourself and show vulnerabilities without fear of being judged or misunderstood.

Mary Ward said, “What disturbs me inwardly and makes me troubled does not come from God, for the spirit of God always brings with it freedom and great peace.” In the age in which she lived – the early 17th century - a dominant motif in moral theology was fear. People were taught to fear Hell and punishment, as a means of bringing them to God. Mary found this approach repellent. She realised that actions performed ‘by constraint’ – that is out of fear of failure or punishment - have no value. Mary Ward discerned that only acts arising out of love are pleasing to God. Love cannot be constrained or forced, nor is it produced by fear. It must be freely chosen.

The Loreto Mission statement explains that the virtue of freedom is an inner freedom, an acceptance of self, an openness to others and a trust in life. We ask that this year, you place faith in God, trusting that he will guide you through the good times and in any troublesome times. It is also essential that you have trust in yourself and are confident with the decisions you make throughout your journey. These understandings have brought us to the catchphrase for 2017 - “Let faith and trust be our path to freedom”.

Nelson Mandela emphasized the true meaning of freedom when he said, “To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

He understood that freedom and love are intimately related and that exercising your own freedom was about liberating yourself and others from fear.

Remember freedom firstly comes from our own individuality.

Freedom takes courage, persistence and understanding.

However, once freedom is gained, it is spread from person to person as if contagious. Be free to dream, Loreto ’17.

OUR CULTURE OF THINKING PROMOTES CRITICAL THINKING, OPENNESS TO LEARNING AND HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT. Welcome to this edition of The Chronicle with its brand new look and feel! I hope you find it to be fresh and inviting.

As you would know a chronicle is “a record of things that have happened”. Interestingly, the word comes from the Greek “ta khronika”, which means the “annals of time” and so it is that our Chronicle has been recording “the annals of time at Loreto” since the first edition in 1988. Some annals recount the achievements of people; others the important and interesting events; and some, such as The Loreto Chronicle, also incidentally manage to record other historically interesting things such as the terrible fashions and hairstyles of the 1980’s! Looking back on the very first edition of The Loreto Chronicle it is interesting to note the things that have changed and the things which have not. A feature article records the success of the Loreto Jubilee Dinner, celebrating the school’s Diamond Jubilee (60 years).

This was held at the Munich Festhaus, which was part of World Expo 1988. Other articles in this first edition brought news of Loreto’s first Advisory Board and an expansion to the Library, as well

| 3 |

as the story of the Hodge family whose links to Loreto spanned more than three decades.

As we sit poised ready to celebrate our 90th anniversary in 2018, we are keen to receive and celebrate more such stories. We wonder for instance, which family in the school might have the longest connection with Loreto and how many decades that might span? We also wonder how many Loreto families have had three or more generations attend the school? If you would like to share your story and be part of our 90th anniversary celebrations, we would be delighted to hear from you. Mr Kieran Donnelly, Loreto’s Deputy Principal - Mission for many years, is now the College Archivist and he is eager to hear from you. He can be contacted by phoning the College or by email on archives@loreto.qld.edu.au.

The Chronicle is an important publication for us and we hope that you will continue to enjoy its news, stories and images. Please keep your contact details up to date to ensure you continue to receive it and let us know whether you would prefer that to be via email or in hard copy. I hope that you enjoy this “new” edition.

LORETO COLLEGE BOARD ANNOUNCEMENT

RETIREMENT OF PRINCIPAL, MRS CHERYL HAMILTON MRS DIANE BUKOWSKI – CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS As many of you are aware, we recently announced the significant news that our Principal, Mrs Cheryl Hamilton, has decided to retire from her position and will finish at the College on Friday 29 December, 2017.

I know this decision is the result of deep discernment for Cheryl and was not taken lightly. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge her wonderful contribution to the College and wish her every blessing for the future.

Cheryl has been in senior leadership roles in education for 27 years; for 17 of these she has fulfilled the role of Principal, here and at Loreto Marryatville, Adelaide. This is a remarkable contribution to our Loreto community. Being a Principal is allconsuming of one’s time. Retiring from the role will allow Cheryl to pursue other professional and personal interests that simply aren’t possible while Principal.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to commend and thank Cheryl for her achievements since taking on the leadership of our community in 2011. Under Cheryl’s leadership, we have a Master Plan to guide future developments in a cohesive manner. The introduction of the triennial Whole School Survey continues to provide valuable information for our decision making. The magnificent Cruci building is not just a striking

feature on the campus, but provides practical and dynamic learning spaces for the students. The introduction of Year 7 was achieved with great success. Cheryl’s particular passion has been a focus on teaching and learning activities to equip our students for challenging futures which has resulted in the development and implementation of the Loreto Coorparoo Framework for Teaching and Learning.

Most importantly, Cheryl has continued to nourish the Mary Ward charism that is our core and our strength. This is a proud legacy and one that will provide a substantial platform for our next Principal.

I would also like to thank Ian, Cheryl’s husband, for his patience, understanding and support and for the sacrifice of family time that has occurred during Cheryl’s tenure.

In my role as Chair, I have had the opportunity to work very closely with Cheryl. I am grateful for her professionalism, dedication and integrity.

The Board, with the guidance of Loreto Ministries Limited and the Sisters of the IBVM have commenced the journey of finding the next Principal of this wonderful community and the outcome will be announced to the community in due time.

Please join us in wishing Cheryl every joy and blessing in her retirement.

APPOINTS NEW PROVINCE LEADER Wendy Hildebrand ibvm has been appointed as the next Province Leader for a three year term commencing July 1, 2017.

For the last seventeen years Wendy has held a number of senior management roles in social service organisations, most recently at Mission Australia, directing a wide range of programs responding to the needs of people who are marginalised and disadvantaged.

Prior to this Wendy was a secondary school teacher and taught at Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak in Melbourne and Loreto Normanhurst in Sydney as well as being the Director

of the Boarding School at Normanhurst. Wendy is a past pupil of Loreto Coorparoo, graduating in 1971.

Wendy said she felt honoured to be nominated by fellow Loreto Sisters and draws strength from the fact that she walks in the footsteps of many wise and courageous women who have gone before.

“I’m looking forward to connecting more closely with the Sisters and working together with them and the wider circle of Loreto colleagues and friends as we continue to explore new ways of responding to the needs of the times in the spirit of Mary Ward,” said Wendy.

Mrs Jenny Strachan 1982 – 2016

Mr Kevin McAlinden 1988 – 2016

Mr Kieran Donnelly 1987– 2016

Mrs Strachan has retired from Loreto, a place that has been her professional home and family since 1982. She was ever patient, joyful and felicitous in her care.

Mr McAlinden has retired after 28 years at Loreto. Affectionately referred to as ‘Mr Mac’, for 26 years he was the Head of History. He has taught, mentored and led with distinction.

Mr Donnelly has retired from his position as Deputy Principal – Mission having served our community in this capacity for 29 years.

He has served with integrity, dignity and humility. ‘The Don’ will continue to be an integral member of the Loreto community in his new role as College Archivist.

The significance of Jenny, Kevin and Kieran’s legacies is beyond words. We give our sincere thanks to these remarkable people for their generous service, wisdom and leadership and we wish each of them every blessing for the future.

FROM THE STUDENTS Mr Donnelly Mr Donnelly, there is no one here today who has not been guided by you in one way or another, and so we are very sad that our journey together is coming to an end. You have served with integrity, dignity and humility and your influence has been profound. You have mentored and inspired all of us throughout the years, guiding us along our religious and spiritual adventures.

We will all fondly miss your guidance through Masses, assistance in learning hymns and your calm disposition on Assemblies. We also thank you for your organization of Retreats, making them fun and enriching experiences that we will never forget. We cannot wait to see you around the school in your new role as the College Archivist. Thank you for all you have done and best wishes for your future.

Mrs Strachan Mrs Strachan, you have been an integral part of the Loreto community since you began in 1982.

You have unconditionally embraced your role as both a Home Economics teacher and the Year 8 Coordinator.

| 5 |

Every year you have nurtured and welcomed the Year 8 students including our own grade. We will never forget the positive energy that radiated around the Year 8 area.

Thanks for helping us with our boxer shorts and teddy bears, without your assistance none of us would have ever finished! Every year you assisted in the creation of the Loreto Yearbook Honour Pages, a job that was always much appreciated. Thank you for your contribution to the Loreto community; you will be long be remembered.

Mr McAlinden Mr Mac, throughout your 26 years as Head of History, you have left a legacy far beyond measure, acting not only as an educator, but as a mentor and leader for all students.

Through sharing your love of history, you have encouraged and supported us to strive for excellence, embrace change and overcome challenges.

We will definitely miss your knowledge and enthusiasm as well as your positivity and your captivating accent. You have inspired all of us and will be dearly missed. We sincerely thank you for your service and wish you all the best for your future endeavours.

B OA R D D I N N E R A N D F R E E D O M O R AT I O N I WILL DO THESE THINGS WITH LOVE AND FREEDOM OR LEAVE THEM ALONE. – MARY WARD In his Freedom Oration, Mr Kevin McAlinden wove story, lyrics, poetry, personal experience and, of course, history into a truly memorable reflection on the virtue of Freedom. The following words are a very brief extract:

1

Freedom seems to me to be most challenging of Mary Ward’s virtues.

Freedom is rarely won without a cost and living into freedom can be very challenging. The people I have referenced throughout this address displayed immense courage. But, for most of us, no such courage is required to enjoy freedom. However, we so often lack courage in speaking out for the freedom of others. The negative stereotyping and ill-treatment of our Indigenous brothers and sisters, our Islamic community and our refugees can only occur because of our failure to call it out. As the 18th century political thinker Edmund Burke said: Evil flourishes when good people do nothing.

LO R E TO C H R O N I C L E

TRANSFORMING L E A R N I N G S PAC E S Gone are the days of traditional classroom settings with everyone seated in regimented rows, facing the front to receive their instruction. Students of today require flexible learning spaces that encourage them to articulate and visibly share their thinking as they learn from and with one another, thereby increasing their engagement. One of our generous supporters of the current Annual Giving Appeal, Jill Weld (Webb 1952), affirms this when she says, “Times and educational theories have changed.” “ T I M E S A N D E D U C AT I O N A L T H E O R I E S HAVE CHANGED”

Jill remembers her time at Loreto fondly: “I find myself reflecting on my Sub-Senior and Senior years at Loreto in 1951 and 1952. We had a small room at the back of the old building.

In 1951 we shared with the one girl in Senior, and in 1952 with the three girls in Sub-Senior. There were six girls in my class.

I am not complaining; our results then and afterwards show that we received the very best of education and the happiest of school days. I am forever grateful.”

The Loreto sisters have always been at the forefront in their mission to educate girls in the tradition of Mary Ward.

In continuing to forge this path, Loreto College is deeply committed to supporting students in making their thinking visible. Ms Tania Gallen, Director of Professional Learning & Cognitive Education, explains, “This means recognising opportunities to challenge, provoke and ignite the thinking of our young women. The learning environment needs to foster opportunities for curiosity and engagement in the process of learning. We believe that by being deliberate in creating learning centred classrooms, our students will have these opportunities to thrive.” “ W O M E N I N T I M E T O C O M E W I L L D O M U C H .”

MARY WARD

We invite all members of our Loreto community to join Jill in contributing to the fulfilment of our vision to transform these learning spaces. Whatever you can afford to give, whether you are a parent, grand-parent or past pupil of the College, your participation in this appeal brings us all together in supporting Mary Ward’s compelling vision that “women in time to come will do much”. The impact your support will have on our students’ thinking and learning will be ongoing and immeasurable.

This coveted Australian Government scholarship is allowing Hayman to undertake part of her PhD studies at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, Mayo Clinic.

Currently in the US for five months, Hayman is conducting research in 3D printing for orthopaedic surgery. As part of the fellowship,

Hayman is acting as an ambassador for both Griffith University and Australia.

It has been an amazing experience collaborating with top surgeons and scientists in her field to pioneer new treatment options for bone and ligament regeneration.

We look forward to welcoming Hayman back to Loreto to share her amazing experiences with current students.

They were also able to take three suitcases full of reading books, writing books, sports supplies and other things for the children, all donated by friends, family and community. Kristina continues to work as an ambassador for the Challenges Abroad charity. They would like to thank the Loreto community for their generous support.

L O R E TO G E N E R AT I O N S D W Y E R FA M I LY In 1973 the Dwyer family set a ‘Loreto World Record’ with all six of the Dwyer girls [Mary Jane Knudsen (1976), Geraldine Dwyer-West (1977), Patricia Benjamin (1978), Catherine Dennis (1980), Judith Collin (1981), Alison Dwyer (1985)], and their brother John (1982), all attending Loreto at the same time.

Geraldine remembers these days fondly, beginning with her earliest memories of Year 3 (1968). “In those days the teachers would play lunchtime tennis, and Sr Helen would teach us beautiful marching formations for Sports Days. As ‘Jubilarians’, we were honoured with a crown of flowers and a poem service on Graduation, a Loreto tradition.”

“Sr Helen Salter guided us through our sewing classes, sports days and art classes, even allowing us to bring along our favourite pop music to play on the record player while we created. I remember David Cassidy and the Partridge Family being a favourite during Year 6 (1971)! Sr Helen also kept us on our toes with Maths and Grammar, even introducing a course in speed reading, and Sr Regina in the Senior School Library was ahead of her time with audio visual equipment.”

With similar happy memories, her brother John adds, “Loreto just made school fun. In Grade 2, Sr Lena Bongiorno inspired a love of singing in me, always praising me for being able to remember hymn lyrics. I can still see her smiling face as I sang ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’, and I remember feeling pretty special when she handed out a lolly from her desk as a reward.”

Parents Brian and Mary Dwyer have enjoyed many years with Loreto, always being very involved with the College and often hosting boarders for weekend visits. With seven children all requiring uniforms, Mary’s dress-making skills were definitely put to good use.

“With summer and winter uniforms, we had blouses, pinafores, sports dresses and Mum sewed them to perfection,” remembers Geraldine.

They have watched the next generation pass through the gates at Coorparoo, with nine grand-children also attending the College Lauren (2000) & Emily Benjamin (2002), Anna-Jane Collin (2010), Mary-Kate Dennis (2013), Eloise (2012), Jacqueline (2014) & Bridget West (2016), Charlotte Horsburgh currently in Year 8, and two younger grand-daughters yet to reach high school.
