Be seekers of truth and doers of justice

It is an exciting time for us at Loreto Coorparoo

as we begin to finalise our preparations for the arrival of Year 7 into secondary schools in Queensland next year. In 2015, we will have a ‘double intake’ with new Year 8s and Year 7s joining us in the same year. This

will mean that one third of our student body will be new to Loreto in 2015.Obviously, there is a long list of changes that we need to make to provide for this significant change to the enrolment of the school and not all of them will be finalised before the extra students arrive. However, we are well and truly on our way to achieving many of the most essential changes.In the pages that follow, you will see that we have completed the expansion and improvement to our Tuckshop. We have also refurbished our Home Economics rooms and have added an impressive new Hospitality Kitchen, complete with its very own ‘tasting garden’ courtyard. The construction of the new building at the Cavendish Road entrance to the school is well underway and on target for completion by the end of third term. It will accommodate an additional five classrooms as well as a versatile large, open space on the ground floor which can be used for student, staff and community gatherings. This striking building has been designed so that it can one day become the entrance for a Performing Arts Centre which will be constructed where the tennis courts currently stand. Beyond the physical changes that are necessary, the teachers are busily planning the various curriculum activities, programs and resources that will be needed. This unique opportunity to start afresh has been embraced by the teachers as a chance to collaborate and to integrate the disciplines of learning in ways that will engage and stimulate the students in their thinking and learning. These are indeed exciting times for us as we plan and build together for a preferred future. I sincerely thank all who have so generously supported us with the Capital Campaign. Your generosity is helping to make the aspirations expressed in the Master Plan become a reality Beyond Today.

From the Principal

This year, Loreto schools around Australia celebrate the virtue of

Sincerity. Sincerity is having the courage to live by truth, believing in honesty, having integrity and striving for self-acceptance. It is to “speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, to perform and make good what we promise, and really to be what we would seem and appear to be.”The term sincerity stems from the Latin words, “sin” which means without, and “ceras” which means wax. Sincerity can be understood simply through the phrase, “without wax”. In Greek and Roman times, when artists discovered a flaw in their sculptures, they filled the crack or chip with coloured wax to match the marble. The wax was used to mask any flaws and create the illusion of perfection. Thus, to be “without wax” or sincere is to allow your true colours to be seen. This value is reflected in Mary Ward’s injunction that we should, “be such as we appear, and appear such as we are”. During your personal Loreto journey in 2014, we challenge each of you to be “without wax”; to be authentic, proud to let everybody see who you really are, honest about your flaws as well as your strengths.This idea of being sincere, however, does present us with a challenge. This challenge is learning how to love ourselves and embrace our quirks and differences, whilst having the courage to free ourselves from defensiveness and self-judgement. If you come to accept yourself, you will be more open to accepting others and be proud in standing tall as the person you are. By example, Mary Ward has shared her story, her heart and herself by staying true to her vision, which she expressed whole-heartedly. If she had not been sincere in the unity of her words and actions and had the courage to be true to her heart, her talents would not have been seen by

those around her and her impact would not have been as significant. Mary Ward once said, “Do not be hasty in your promises but be faithful in keeping them. You will do much if you do all you can, do it with a great and generous heart and a humbled mind, and do it for God’s sake.” We ask you to embrace 2014, the Year of Sincerity, with an open heart, an open mind and an open spirit, so you can let your true colours shine in the sight of all to see.

Loreto Sisters purchase 32 Dale Street

We are pleased to announce that the Loreto Sisters have purchased the property at 32 Dale Street, the last remaining private residence on the “Loreto block”. The immediate usage of the property is still under discussion, but its significance for the on-going presence of the Sisters in Coorparoo and the long-term development of the College is clear. On behalf on the wider Loreto community, we thank the Sisters for their wisdom, support and stewardship.

HELEN SALTER IBVM

The first line of Loreto in Australia by Mary Ryllis Clark reads: “This is the

story of remarkable women. As I have come to know them over the past years, what has struck me above all is their resilience.” This is an apt description of the woman I would like to acknowledge this evening – the remarkable and resilient Sr Helen Salter.Helen has served on the Coorparoo School Council for over seven years. Her term should have been shorter but Helen was happy to stay longer to support not just a new Council Chair but six new

Loreto Justice Circles

members as well. This was an example of Helen putting her own needs after those of others – and certainly after the needs of this College. Helen’s association with Coorparoo predates her involvement with Council. Helen first came here as a boarder from outback Queensland. Like every other Loreto boarder, Helen loved her time here, but I’m sure it must have been a difficult wrench to make that trip back to Coorparoo at the end of every holiday. It required resilience. It is often said that you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl! Helen is living proof of this. During her time here on staff, with responsibility for the boarders, there were reports of a late night prowler lurking. True to her practical rural upbringing, Helen suggested to the local Police Sergeant that if they would simply lend her a gun she could easily scare off the culprit with a few well directed warning shots. The Sergeant was understandably reluctant about this proposal!Helen’s resourcefulness extended to her spiritual ministry as well. Mary Ryllis Clark writes, “During the ten years Sisters Frances Browne and Helen Salter spent in the remote township of Hay in the Riverina, there were times when the priest rarely visited and Frances and Helen found themselves praying with the dying, burying the dead, baptising babies and preparing the children for their First Communion and Confirmation. Sr Frances

recalls that the Bishop would have been happy for them to marry people, but Rome would not give permission.” What strikes me most about Helen is her love for Loreto - especially Loreto Coorparoo. Not only is this evident in the tireless contribution Helen has made to this community, but it is clear when Helen speaks of past pupils: where they were from, to whom they are related and where they are now. Such deep knowledge can only come about when one has a genuine love and affection for a community. I think the following quotation is a good summation of Helen and her life here at Coorparoo. “Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, and do so with all your heart.”Sr Helen, on behalf of Council and the community of Loreto Coorparoo, I would like to thank you for your stewardship, dedication and devotion. Your love does indeed bind us all.

Enrolment Timeline

IBVM News

Just six weeks after first gathering to learn about the idea of the Loreto

Justice Circles, over a dozen parents, past pupils, teachers and friends recently came together to discuss how to create a Loreto Justice Circle (LJC) at Coorparoo. The Loreto Justice Circles concept was first presented at Coorparoo in March by Sr Anne Kelly, with support from the College and the Past Pupils’ Association. As that first meeting drew to a close, it was clear that it had ignited the ideas, energy and passion of many attendees. The challenge was not going to be getting people enthused – rather, how to best harness that enthusiasm and develop a plan of action!This is why our second meeting took a workshop-style approach to addressing several key questions. We began by getting to know one another better, understanding our personal connections to Loreto, our passions and our networks. We were then able to turn our attention to some important questions. What values will underpin our choice of projects and organisations? What criteria will guide our decisions about projects? How will the Coorparoo LJC be structured and sustained?In just two hours, we began to answer these significant questions and developed a plan for our next meeting. Jobs were allocated amongst willing volunteers, including capturing meeting notes, developing a vision and statement of purpose for the LJC at Coorparoo, and identifying potential groups and projects to engage. Watch this space, as we continue to make headway on the Loreto Justice Circles initiative!

A Strong Foundation for Years 7 & 8 at Loreto

Year 8 students engage with ‘Habits of Mind’

Planning for the introduction of Year 7 in 2015 has involved much more

than ensuring we have sufficient staff and facilities. Our planning for appropriate Year 7 curriculum and pedagogy has stimulated significant reflection and research, providing an opportunity to re-shape the foundation years of secondary schooling – Years 7 and 8. The teaching and learning framework at Loreto is grounded in our Catholic, Mary Ward ethos and educational best practice. The Australian Curriculum, the integration of digital technologies and a commitment to the development of critical and creative thinking have all informed our planning. We have incorporated two specific educational initiatives into our learning framework: Habits of Mind by Arthur L Costa, Emeritus Professor of Education at California State University, and the work on Making Thinking Visible emerging from Harvard University. These two educational constructs guide and unite the teaching and learning practice within our College and underpin the key features of the learning program for Years 7 and 8.

Purposeful IntegrationThe academic program offered to Years 7 and 8 students will include one integrated unit each term. The recent study conducted by McEwin and Greene (2011) is clear evidence in support of this decision. This study compared a range of factors from 827 randomly selected public middle schools in America with 101 of some of the most successful middle schools in the nation to identify differences in their practices. “Their extensive data analysis revealed that when middle schools authentically follow middle school philosophy- which includes integration and interdisciplinary team organisation-students are more likely to have higher scores on achievement tests and other positive outcomes.” The inclusion of integrated units at Years 7 and 8 enables the seamless interaction of a variety of academic subjects. We believe that girls learn best when they see connections between the various subject areas. The learning experiences are challenging and encourage student engagement and motivation. The integrated units are designed to mirror life beyond school in their emphasis on collaborative learning.

TeamworkWe believe that girls learn best when they work with each other; Years 7 and 8 students can expect to be involved in a number of interdependent learning experiences. The intention is to foster communication skills that encourage empathy, understanding and cooperation. For our students to journey successfully from engaged learners to contributing

members of the global community, they need to depend on and work with each other. With this approach, the gap between the knowledge and skills gained within school and those required in life beyond our gates will be narrowed. Our focus on life-long learning is tied most profoundly to this ideal.

A Growth MindsetRecent empirical evidence indicates that girls are more likely than boys to have a fixed mindset, especially in Mathematics. Despite actually performing as well as boys in Mathematics courses, girls doubt their ability to develop their mathematical skills when faced with difficult material; this fixed mindset in female students appears to contribute to the substantial gender gap in Mathematics engagement that emerges during and after middle school. According to Dr Carol Dweck, “A growth mindset is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way – in their initial talents and aptitudes, interests, or temperaments – everyone can change and grow through application and experience”. (Dweck 2006) It is with the knowledge of Dweck’s work and of girls’ development that we have embraced the deliberate teaching of brain based learning in which girls are taught about a growth mindset. The unit titled BIG, “Brains In Gear”, is designed to inform the girls about being drivers of their learning as opposed to learning happening to them. Once the girls are cognisant of their learning process, they are able to understand that the struggles they may experience with new concepts are all part of the “learning process” and not final indicators of aptitude.

Personal DevelopmentIn addition to the rich, full curriculum, the girls will grow through Personal Development, a critical aspect of our program. Girls will learn to grapple with issues that are typical during these years of tremendous change such as: how to be a good friend; how to resolve conflicts; what to do to organise and enjoy activities in a limited amount of time; how to be a more efficient and effective student; and how to be a productive citizen who contributes to the community. We place a strong emphasis on skills to cope with the transition from primary to high school. This can be a time of great excitement but also of anxiety. By equipping our girls with the necessary skills to manage change, we are contributing to their resilience as young women. The girls will attend a three day Camp which will encourage participation in team building activities to support their beginning connections with their peers. The Camp environment will allow the girls to experience learning challenges beyond the traditional walls of a classroom. We also believe our students should be taught and practise the various skills and tools needed to be successful learners. Throughout Years 7 and 8, there will be a strong focus on developing organisational skills, self-advocacy and the accompanying sense of independence. Girls will have a balanced program of academics, arts, physical and social/emotional growth opportunities.

Year 8 parents form new connections

Earlier this month I was privileged to make a presentation to our Year 11

students, in preparation for their choice of fundraising causes in Semester 2. Focus was on the often misunderstood difference between philanthropy and

charity. Describing philanthropy as a love of humanity in the sense of caring, nourishing, developing and enhancing what it is to be human, I was met with puzzled faces! I resorted to explaining that charity aims to relieve a problem, whereas philanthropy attempts to solve a problem. Or to use a tried-and-tested adage, it’s the difference between giving a hungry man a fish and teaching him how to fish for himself. It is interesting to consider why many assume that the concept of philanthropy only applies to those with tremendous wealth and is often directed towards causes that evoke highly emotional responses. The smallest gift can be

A Gift Beyond Todayphilanthropic if it contributes positively and with endurance beyond the end of a financial year statement. It is also interesting to consider the ever-emerging culture of giving at Loreto – a culture that is reserved, yet aspirational and applauds those who find ways to contribute where they can.We are very grateful to those who support Loreto College, listed on our 2013 Honour Roll of Donors. In 2014, we invite everyone in our community to join this extraordinary group of inspirational philanthropists, in support of our Capital Campaign Beyond Today.

The Loreto Language Exchange Program: In November 2014, a group of three

Loreto teachers and 21 students will set off for France, marking the 10th year of the French Exchange with St Joseph de Tivoli School in Bordeaux. In 2013, we celebrated 10 years of exchanges for the German and Japanese students of Loreto.What began as a dream in the mind of Mrs Eleanor O’Mahony, the then Languages Department Coordinator, became a reality in 2003 when groups from Loreto Coorparoo went to Germany (with Mrs O’Mahony and Mrs Ward) and Japan (with Mrs Hada-Baxter and Miss Tilly) for the first time. The inaugural French exchange (with Mrs O’Mahony and Ms Carty) took place in November/December 2004. The first group of girls was, in fact, called “The Dream Team”. They laid the foundations for the subsequent visits to Australia of students from our sister schools in Germany, Japan and France and our return visits to their families.As Mrs O’Mahony stated recently, “Not often can teachers say an educational dream has been fully realised within their career span, but in the case of the exchange program at Loreto, this was indeed the case. Two teachers dreamed a dream and in 2003, they saw it realised.” Sr Berthilde (later Sr Rita) Schneider, retired principal of the Mary Ward School in Bad Homburg, shared the dream with Mrs O’Mahony, “of linking both schools and further extending the Open Circle of Friends so loved by Mary Ward”.“This deeper learning of languages, not just a superficial smattering, was one of the key points in Mary Ward’s education exhortations to her teachers.” It is this philosophy that is at the heart of our language-based cultural immersion program. The program’s aim is to “open the minds in both schools not only of the students, but of their whole families and the wider Loreto community as well.” The Japanese Exchange Program took place initially between Sacred Heart College in Kagoshima in southern Japan and Loreto Coorparoo. In 2007, our sister school became Kangawa Gakuen in Yokohama. The French Exchange Program has always been with St Joseph de Tivoli School in Bordeaux.We are indebted to Mrs O’Mahony for her pivotal and inspirational role in setting up each of these exchanges. That all three exchanges continue to flourish is testimony to her dedication in preparing and implementing the program’s main features, policies and practices. They have stood the test of time and have developed even further in terms of their success through the use of new technologies such as social media and the continued enthusiasm of the current language teachers at Loreto and our sister schools.

We take this opportunity to thank the many students, both here and abroad, and their families, who have made the Loreto Exchange Program such a resounding success. We thank also the many teachers who have participated in the program. And of course our gratitude is extended to the principals of the exchange schools and our own Ms Carmel Dunne and Mrs Cheryl Hamilton for allowing the dream to stay alive.We often hear from students who have kept in contact with their host sisters and have visited them after leaving Loreto. We are keeping a record of such contact and return visits, so if any past pupils would like to send us their stories and accompanying photos, we would love to hear from you. These stories will enrich our archival record of the exchange program.

Council Dinner & Oration

Lions Youth of the Year Success

Year 12 Student Rebecca Marshall has become the 2014 State Winner of the Lions Youth of the Year Quest. Representing the Coorparoo branch, Rebecca made her way through district and regional competitions to be one of four contestants in the State Final which took place in Cairns over the weekend of 12-13 April – just as Cyclone Ita was battering the city! Rebecca went on to compete in the National Final in Tamworth where she lost narrowly to the Western Australian contestant. Rebecca impressed the judges with her prepared speech on Social Media, highlighting the objectification of women and the need for increased self-worth and self-respect among young women. Loreto public speaking coordinator, Mrs Rosemary O’Neill said, “We are exceptionally proud of how Rebecca has given her best throughout the competition. She has represented the Coorparoo Lions branch with confidence, intelligence and leadership, demonstrating notable public speaking skills throughout the process.” Congratulations, Rebecca!

This is an edited extract from Sr Anne Kelly’s address at the Council Dinner.

After an absence of 23 years, I can say with all sincerity that I’m really

delighted to be back at Loreto Coorparoo! When Kieran Donnelly asked me to give this speech, he suggested that I talk about some of the experiences I’ve had since leaving Loreto Coorparoo. Well, 23 years is a very long time and much has happened along the way, however I decided to give you two examples from my time in Uganda, where I went to work when my term as principal of Loreto Kirribilli concluded. Both stories are about seeing with the eyes of others, so I guess the link with sincerity has something to do with seeing clearly, seeing what is really there not just what seems to be there. Both stories focus on my attempts to improve girls’ attendance at school.In Uganda, girls are needed to work in homes and fields; to gather food, cook, clean, mind siblings and elderly relatives. Patriarchal culture doesn’t value girls and women or their education. After many months, I began to notice that most girls missed three or four days of school each month. But why? The answer was simple – once I could see it! No underwear, let alone sanitary equipment. We began a project which saw girls in charge of hygiene workshops and making the basic products they needed. The result – a marked improvement in attendance! This was linked to another project I had started – Affirmative Action Project for Girls – which involved paying a small amount of school fees for girls with good attendance. Prompted by the prospect of cash in hand, principals who had been disinterested in the issue of poor attendance of girls became enthusiastic recruiters. Boys begged me to treat them the same as girls. Some even insisted that they were girls! Research now supports what empirical observation has been suggesting for years, namely that the most powerful means of leading communities out of poverty is to educate their young women. There is a direct correlation between the length of time a girl stays at school and the earning capacity of her entire family. I’m convinced that girls’ access to education and health facilities are the two most critical keys to development.Both these experiences in Uganda had a powerful effect on me, making me realize that seeing the world through the lens of my Australian eyes, with my Australian mindset and life experience, is quite limiting and can easily lead to wrong assumptions. So, in conclusion, how do we eradicate the blind spots from the way we see the world and the way we see ourselves? There’s no one easy answer

of course; it takes a life time of effort. But we can draw encouragement from the direct, clear gaze of Mary Ward, who set such a wonderful example for us, and from her unequivocal words: “Be such as you appear and appear such as you are.”

Sr Anne Kelly

We extend our very best wishes and thanks to Mrs Lorraine Stone on her retirement from Loreto after 30 years given in service. During her early years, Mrs Stone worked as both teacher’s aide and an audio visual technician in the library. More recently, she has worked in the service area providing printing services for staff and first aid care to students. In this capacity she has provided comfort and support to many students and families in times of need. For this we offer our sincere gratitude. We wish Lorraine every enjoyment, blessings and good health in her retirement.

in August 2013. Jane’s PhD thesis was entitled “Understanding the post-school transition of young people with

vision impairment”.

The study captured the perspectives of students, school staff and parents in relation to this critical transition. Her

The class of 1973 came together to celebrate 30 years since graduating from Loreto College. As Liz King (Tully) commented, “We had a very successful reunion of 35 attendees. Lunch at GOMA extended to dinner elsewhere for some and the noise level during lunch was a measure of enthusiasm! We all agreed to meet more often as there was not nearly enough time to catch up.”

Nearly 60 young women from the class of 2009 celebrated their 5 year milestone reunion at The Jubilee Hotel. Also joining them to revel in the memories were some of their Loreto favourites, Carmel Dunne, Fiona Meecham and Annie Diamond.

Loreto Chronicle – 13

A packed Mt Carmel Church was a portent that somebody much loved

and respected was to be farewelled.

the windows and a marquee beside the Church welcomed later guests. Commonwealth cars stayed silent and still, police on motorcycles monitored and protocol guides politely checked our names and offered books to sign. The front portion of the Church was a sea of elegant black as several generations of Parers and relatives supported each other with easy intimacy and warmth. Across the aisle, Federal, State and Local politicians and vice-regal representatives mingled and chatted. Outside, just as the Mass procession commenced, a rain shower burst. It seemed that nature “shivered” for some moments as its friend was named and called home. If this was a State funeral, with its attendant formality, Fr Jerome Watt ensured that it was Mt Carmel’s celebration, speaking familiar and kind words for Kathi, the children and spouses and many grieving grandies. There was no doubt that this Mass was

Frances in her Normanhurst uniform, aged 17

These were the words of Francis Bowler when she was guest speaker at a

Loreto Coorparoo Spring Luncheon some years ago. A grazier, writer and artist, Franki lived a life less ordinary, growing up on a sheep station, graduating from the University of Sydney with Honours and travelling extensively overseas at a time when it was unusual for young women to do so. But perhaps her most remarkable achievement, with her husband Reg, was her eight children, born over just nine years.

at age nine went to boarding school in Normanhurst. In 1941 her parents were concerned that if Australia was invaded,

to return home, so they were enrolled in Loreto Coorparoo. Like all Coorparoo

The simplicity of the Liturgy underplayed its importance for everyone and the Loreto Chorale sang like angels. Carolin told us of Warwick’s life with clarity and dignity and some cheeky memories: his whiz bang skills with the leaf blower and penchant for backyard burns! We learned of his great skill at making you feel special, as though this moment existed in time just for you and he to be together. Warwick loved life, loved learning and especially loved people. John

and unscripted, praised Warwick as the best of the best in Australian politics, loyal and collegiate, devoted to his family and to public life. He echoed what we all knew - Warwick was a great mate. Helen Parer ibvm wove Warwick’s qualities beautifully into the reading from Ecclesiastes - “the generous whose good works have not been forgotten” - and the family delivered heartfelt Prayers of the Faithful.Fathers Paul Syrah, Jerome Watt, Peter Dillon, Bill O’Shea, John Garrahy and Bishop Brian Finnigan celebrated Eucharist, reminding us of Warwick’s enduring Catholic faith.

students, Franki was moved to Glen Innes where she spent two long years in often freezing conditions. Franki would say that being young and foolish, she felt antagonistic towards the Sisters but when they meet again many years later, she understood their hardships. One Sister shared that her sleeping quarters only had a galvanized roof; she could see the stars through holes in that roof and in the morning, had frost on her bed clothes. In March 1995, Franki proudly donated

books, ‘Every Now and Then’, to the Loreto Coorparoo Archives, in memory of four Loreto generations as her three granddaughters were attending Loreto Coorparoo. Franki is survived by eight children, 25 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

to the tune of Dean Martin’s “Everybody loves somebody sometime” united the congregation in laughter and poignant thoughts. After the Rite of Commendation, Warwick was farewelled from the Church by his sons and sons-in-law, a testament to his deep and inclusive family love.The wake was a traditional Parer feast, sunshine streaming and everyone feeling welcome and loved by Kathi. Warwick’s spirit was present in the tall gum trees and

his wonderful legacy. Loreto has been the recipient of his goodness and kindness and it’s been my privilege to know the family. Thank you Martine, Carolin, Helen and Sonya for being such felicitious and strong Loreto women! Warwick Parer, with his joy in life, has indeed left this world a better place,

Mary Clarke (Dooley 1969)Former Past Pupils’ President

“Our family has strong links with Loreto that go back for four generations. My mother went to Normanhurst, my mother-in-law went to Mary’s Mount, my sister-in-law to Mandeville, my four daughters went to Cavendish Road and I went to Normanhurst and Cavendish Road, so you could say that our roots in Loreto are deep.”

The Honorable Warwick Parer AM (1936 – 2014), husband of Kathi and father to our Loreto Coorparoo Past Pupils’ President Martine Whitton, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday 15 March, 2014. As Chairperson of the RBWH Foundation, Warwick led with great passion and generosity, believing in the advancement of health care through medical research. Present at the Requiem Mass and wake to honour Warwick was Mary Clarke (Dooley 1969), who eloquently expresses what a beautiful gathering it was.

A wonderful family man & great mate
