Volume 4 - 19 February, 2013 Dear Parents and Students In this season of Lent I commend to you the efforts of the student body in working together to raise funds for CARITAS. The Caritas campaign began last week (on SHROVE TUESDAY) with pancakes being sold and will con nue with other fundraising events un l Easter. Each home class is raising money and awareness on ma ers of poverty and injus ce (www.caritas.org.au).
“We work towards a brighter and more humane world so as to open doors into the future.”
Pope Benedict XVI 2007
Project Compassion helps fight poverty and injus ces around the world. Our efforts can open doors to a brighter future. I thank you for your generous support. LENTEN REFLECTION When I see a need do I look away? When I hear of injus ce do I pretend not to hear? Do I harden my heart because I have seen or heard ‘this stuff’ too many mes? What is the one thing that I can do to make a difference? How can I support Project Compassion?
Gracious God As we begin this me of Lent, open the doors of our hearts and minds. Empower us to move beyond our own world to see you in the faces of the poor. Give us the courage to be different and to share what we have. May our ac ons during Lent help to renew the world in your ways of peace and jus ce. We ask this prayer, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

SUCCESS AT SPORT I wish to congratulate the students on their wonderful start to the Volleyball and AFL seasons.

TÜà WxÑtÜàÅxÇà Last Wednesday Year 11 and 12 Visual Arts Studies Students took part in workshops conducted by Brisbane Artists Tony Rice and Wendy Winsley. Tony Rice shared his interest in the impact of plastic waste on sea creatures to work with Year 11 students as they created their own sculptures in response to this environmental issue. Year 12’s were assisted by Wendy Winsley to explore the use of gutta and dye to produce brilliantly coloured designs in silk painting. The Art Department is looking for ice-cream containers, large plastic containers with screw lids (plain flour, fruit container plastic etc.) and any lace, ribbon, material, or junk we can use in our Animal Sculpture Unit using mixed media. Any donations can be dropped off at the Art Department in Mulwith. Thank you. Leonie McCulkin - Art Coordinator

Wxutà|Çz axãá Last Sunday, approximately twenty Loreto students attended the Queensland Debating Union Summer School. This was an exceptional turn-out and the girls were a credit to their school. The first section of the day was a lecture format, with students given information relevant to their year level. After lunch the students were treated to an actual debate on the topical issue of performance enhancing drugs. I would like to thank the girls for giving up their time to attend the Summer School and I am confident that they all gained much from the day. As soon as the QDU draw is available, the debating teams and their coaches will be informed. All teams do have the first topic, however, and are advised to meet and discuss arguments both for and against the issue. John McKinlay - Debating Coordinator

lxtÜ DD fàâwç Éy exÄ|z|ÉÇ XåvâÜá|ÉÇ Year 11 Study of Religion students, as part of their semester unit, “Gender & Religion” visited the Chung Tian Buddhist Temple and the Griffith University Multi-faith Centre on Friday 15 February. At the Temple the staff gave in-depth explanations of all aspects of the temple complex and how the practice of Pure Land Buddhism contributes to the multiculturalism of our local area. The students discovered not only many exotic religious artefacts and practices, but also learnt how the temple is run entirely by Buddhist nuns under the direction of the Abbess. At the Griffith University Multi-faith Centre, the students spent two hours with women from local Jewish and Islamic Communities. All of the speakers were informative and gave the students particular insight into what it means to be a practising Muslim woman or Jewish woman in our community. This direct contact is a rich and invaluable opportunity for learning. The students were able to relate to our speakers as women and this helped generate dialogue and engage their interest in what is quite different to what most have experienced. As Pope John 23rd said to the invited non-Christian delegates to the Second Vatican Council, we have much that we can learn from each other. As well as help the students build their knowledge and understanding about the diverse nature of religion, this field trip will be invaluable in students completing an assessment task where they research women from non-Christian traditions later in the term.

Results Round 1 - Junior AFL Our Junior AFL team got off to a great start to the season by defeating Lourdes Hill 2 by 63 points. The final score: Loreto with 70 points (11 goals 4 points) defeated Lourdes Hill 2 with 7 points (1 goal 1 point). After a couple of minutes settling in Loreto scored the first goal. Throughout the first half Loreto continued to dominate play holding Lourdes Hill almost scoreless in the first half. During the second half Loreto continued to dominate and score regularly throughout the remainder of the game. It was pleasing to see all players adhered to the rules and respected both opposition players and coach. Well done girls! Next week we meet Lourdes Hill 1. We can expect a harder game. The venue once again will be Smithfield which is behind the Norman Park Bowling Club. See the fixtures table below for future matches. Alan Lane-Richardson - AFL Coordinator

Open B The girls have started the season with a blast, winning their first game. Great support from all players. Exceptional serving from Olivia Mastry and good court covering by Claudia Miotti, with those dives. Keep up the wonderful work girls.
Junior A The junior A volleyball team had a strong 3-0 win against Mary MacKillop College. While the game was competitive throughout, Loreto deserved the win, playing strong three touch volleyball. Strong serving from Matilda Ruffin at the beginning of the second set allowed the team to run away with the match.
Junior B A great game of Volleyball for our Junior B team, defeating St. John Fisher 2 sets to 1. Isobelle Scott received two ace's and passed with confidence whilst Nikki Foley’s serves were amazing. Kassidy Graham was a super team player who communicated well with her team. It was a great game and all girls showed great sportsmanship. Junior C - The Junior C team started off the volleyball season with a great win against Mt Alvernia. The girls showed great skills and shared plenty of encouragement from their team mates. Amanda Hansen showed outstanding performance in serving, along with her fellow team mate Sophie Hinchliffe. All players played exceptionally well on their first match. Congratulations!
Junior D Last Wednesday the Junior D Volleyball team had an outstanding first round victory over San Sisto College. It was a courageous team performance from the girls who won the first two sets in quick succession to seal the game. San Sisto hit back in the third set to finish the game at 2 sets to 1. Special mention to Zoe McNamee and Frances Wong.
Junior E This talented and spirited team was unluckily beaten, 2 sets to 1 in their first game representing Loreto. The team are already working the W formation while receiving serve. The second set was snatched by Loreto and the girls should be really proud of how they have come together so far! Maddison Ryan and Riley Adams played very well, and were particularly effective with their serving.
Junior F The Junior F team had an awesome start to the season winning their first game of volleyball against All Hallows’ 2 – 1. All players worked together and showed dedication, enthusiasm and spirit. Special mention must go to Ella Smyth and Emily Lowe for outstanding serving.

]âáà|vx Vtyx Last Friday 15 February, Mr John Holroyd and Fr Peter Wieneke brought Villanova students, to Loreto, to participate in a Justice Café with students in the senior school. As part of our Loreto focus on Justice for 2013, the students reflected on Scripture and what it has to say about Biblical Justice then explored together how they could cooperatively engage in Social Justice action. The enthusiasm generated by the students has motivated them to continue to work together to raise awareness of the imperative for Justice, from everyday relationships to engaging in larger projects. Mary Ward said that she often meditated on the meaning of Justice so it is fitting that Loreto students reflect on Scriptures to discern how to do justice where they can.

Thank you to all the families involved in hosting our international guests and all the teachers who have organised activities and excursions for them. Tomorrow 20 February, French Day will be held at Loreto College Coorparoo. All Year 8 girls and French students in Years 9-12 are encouraged to wear red, white and blue accessories to celebrate. Please bring these accessories to school and put them on when you arrive. There is no charge for this. French cakes, éclairs, croissants and pains au chocolat will be sold at morning tea and there will be a design a dress competition at lunch time. French students in Years 11 and 12 are reminded that our dinner at La Provence restaurant begins at 7:00pm and will conclude by 9:00pm. GERMAN Families of students who are hosting and travelling for the German Exchange Program are reminded that a meeting will take place on Tuesday 26 February at 7:00pm in room 402. Parents should have received a letter about this and the reply slip should have been returned to the Office by now. JAPANESE Last week we welcomed three Japanese exchange students from Immaculate Heart College, Kagoshima to Loreto College Coorparoo. These girls are Kanako Kodama, Yukito Fukunaga and Natsumi Kubota. During their stay in Brisbane the Japanese exchange students will assist with Japanese classes and visit various places of interest in the Brisbane region. Thank you to the Dalton, Lecatsas and Kelly families who are hosting Kanako, Yukito and Natsumi respectively. We are sure that the exchange will provide many happy memories for all involved.
