LIBRARY LOVERS' DAY
St Valentine’s Day, 14 February, is Library Lovers’ Day, a wonderful opportunity to celebrate books, a love of reading and to form connections in our reading communities. The theme for 2022 was 'Show the Love.' The Philomena Heaton Librarians extended their services to matchmaking, matching students and staff with books to tug at the heartstrings!
YEAR 7 ART GALLERY VISIT
Our Year 7 Visual Artists were enthralled by their trip to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to support their study of portraiture and still life this semester. They were especially thrilled to visit ArtExpress, where our own Grace Shattock's ('21) HSC artwork is on display. “We visited the Australian galleries, the European section, and went to the marvellous Matisse exhibition. It was their first Year 7 excursion and we had the best day!” Isabella Fabrizio Visual Arts Teacher
L.A.M.P AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCE FACULTY
Now in its 12th year, our Loreto Academic Mentor Program (L.A.M.P.) is an invaluable way to offer our gifted students experiences that go above and beyond the curriculum. The K-12 Program connects students with mentors who are experts in their fields. Mentors become authentic role models for our students and offer a real world perspective.
