"This is verity - to do what we have to do well." (Mary Ward)

More than anything else, more than any measure of our aptitude or intelligence, it is our attitude to life that counts most in determining the happiness and the goals which we shall achieve. Whilst we cannot

choose our ability or intelligence, we

03•N,% 24*.<3*1

can choose our attitude. Indeed it is

one of the most important choices each of us must make, and we

make and express our choice in the

myriad little decisions which we make in every day of our lives. Think

carefully then - and choose an attitude which embraces a

challenge, which sets high

expectations, which rejoices in one's own achievements and in the

achievements of others, which

knows that what is worth doing is worth doing well. Few choices are as important as

this one, for in making this choice, ultimately we choose who it is that we wish to become - and no

choice is more important than that. Choose then to be a person of

integrity. Choose to be a person of sincerity. Choose to be a person of felicity, open-minded and open-hearted, rejoicing in what is

good and true and beautiful. Choose to be a person for others, "seekers of truth and doers of justice," as

Mary Ward says. Choose to be a person of verity. Anne Hunt

THE QUEST - EXCELLENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT

Be the best you can! This was the theme which the Student Councillors of 1990 chose for the

school. In doing so, they stood very firmly and very commendably in the tradition of our school. At Loreto, we

believe in striving to do all things well be it on the sports field, be it even in losing a match, be it in debating or drama or whatever field of e,ndeavour, and especially in our studies. What is worth doing is

worth doing well. This is a lesson which we hope that each girl learns in her school years with us.

a governance structure where the Principal, Anne Hunt, is directly accountable to the Institute,

through the Institute Accountability Structure (IAS) for the educational curriculum and administration of the School. The IAS consists of

three Loreto sisters appointed by the Provincial.

The Advisory Board also reports to the lAS and has, as its role, the

provision of advice to assist the School in the attainment of its

objectives relating to finance and property management.

More specifically, the Board advises the Institute through the lAS on: - the present and future financial affairs of the School, and - the future development of the

these two mottos were the theme

for our Feast Day liturgy. In choosing the theme "Be the best you can", Jane and I wanted every person in the school to recognise their potential and strive to achieve it.

Learning techniques to handle pressure, (especially topical being the pressure of examinations) is also necessary. These are skills

NEW GIRLS When we walked into the school

We noticed that everything was exciting and cool, Then as school went on, we made lots of friends,

And had plenty of time with them to spend.

Then was the camp at Sovereign Hill.

We went to school to learn new skills,

In the middle of the year, we had the Year 5 Ball

Where some of the hats were really quite tall

We are really looking forward to the great Sports Day,

Where everybody shouts, "hip, hip, hooray!"

As we finish the Grade Five Year,

We shout, "See you in the holidays!" with a happy cheer.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Religious Education is at the forefront of our endeavours in the Junior School. The Faith

Development of the school

community is approached from the two-fold perspective of the formal R.E.Program and the liturgical, celebratory life of the School. Whilst these are separate in the sense that

they can be analysed apart, they are, in reality, intrinsically entwined and indeed are woven through the

3*44:k

fabric of the total life of the School.

Through formal lessons, the Sacrarnental Programs, prayer

gatherings, paraliturgical and Eucharistic celebrations and the F

overall religious ethos of the School, the Junior School aims to instil in

the girls an appreciation of and a commitment to true Christian values

and to provide them with

opportunities to celebrate their lives as members of the Christian

Community.

One would hope that Anna-Marie's words are applicable to Religious Education throughout the entire Junior School....

"In Year Four the most fantastic and

the most exciting thing is Religion, because Mrs. Singh makes Religion come to life in a fascinating way".

MUSIC REPORT by Melanie Brown (School Music Captain)

This year the Music Department has had many changes. Mrs. Wendy

Todd has come to Loreto as our

new Music Director from Wesley College. Also halfway through the year, Miss Karen Hansen left and her place has been taken by Miss

Phillippa Robinson, previously from Sacre Coeur. Not only has the staff

changed, but also extensive refurbishment to the music facilities

has occurred. Although these renovations caused much upheaval, the improvements are going to benefit all music students from now on.

Throughout the year all the musical groups have practised, with many of the performances happening at the Gala Concert. The Gala Concert

Senior Choir performed in the Ballarat and Waverley Eisteddfods. At the Ballarat Eisteddfod, South Street, we achieved the best result.

The Choir sang extremely well and achieved an honourable mention

against some very good competition.

The String Orchestra and Orchestra have worked on discipline to achieve very sharp and professional performances. Although they were unable to play at Eisteddfods, the Gala Concert provided an opportunity for them to display their skills.

Also, the Vocal Ensemble, a group that performs unaccompanied music, sang many difficult pieces and performed well at Oak Parlours. The Vocal Ensemble also looks

forward to singing at Miss

Stedman's wedding at the end of the year. Hopefully the Music Department and the music students will continue to

improve and increase. With the encouragement of the Music Scholarship I am sure this will occur.

played by Jonathan Chew, and George Humby, played by Christopher Barker. The play is based around the murder of Charles Meaning, convincingly played by Andrew Abbott who was the Star of the play as the corpse. As the story unfolded it was revealed that Meaning had been a wanted man, wanted dead! Each member of the cast wanted

him dead and had planned a different death for him. Mrs Hudson, E»

unloved Sylvia Carson, Margie Fulton starred as the pregnant teenager Deidre and Thanh Lien played the role of the Secretary Glenda. All three of these women

21 nervous but excited Prep. girls into her classroom. We spent that year as a close group of friends, eager to learn and to participate in everything.

SPORTS REPORT Kate Moulton (Sports Captain) Success came thick and fast for

Mandeville sporting teams in 1990. Perhaps the most significant achievements came from the

Swimming and Athletics teams with respective victories in the Catholic Association. It is also encouraging that much of the success may be attributed to not only the seniors but also the juniors and intermediates. Therefore, with this sort of depth, hopefully we can maintain the efforts of this year in the coming years.

The 1990 season also saw the rise

of many young and enthusiastic rowers. This year, due to the great number of new rowers, the size of

the club has increased greatly and the increased numbers also

1990 has been yet another exciting year for Fencing at Loreto. Thanks rnust go to our coach Mr Feathers and also to Mrs Stobie the Fencing Coordinator.

Two fencing competitions have been held at Loreto, this year. The Jack Schaefer competition in second term proved to be a great success and was won by a fencer from Loreto, Normanhurst. In both

competitions all the Loreto girls

fenced extremely well.

seem to have all these qualities. It is difficult to comment on the season

as it has not begun yet, but I feel confident that all teams will have much success.

Softball is a summer sport and the nice weather and nature of the sport seem to add to the satisfaction of

playing. It is also a highly skilful sport which includes elements such as batting, fielding and throwing. To Integrate and develop these skills personally and yet co-ordinate them in a team creates a great sense of achievement and enthusiasm.

A very critical part of softball is maybe what is missing in other more fast-moving sports, and that is the high element of team spirit, enjoyment and co-operation. These qualities are what enable the Loreto teams to stand out form the rest.

The girls really enjoy the sport and winning adds to this excitement and enthusiasm. However, on the few occasions that a loss occurs, the

girls still have lifted spirits and a great sense of sportswomanship. Many thanks to the girls who dedicate themselves to the sport from year seven to year twelve, and good luck to future players who I

BASKETBALL Jackie Knight (Basketball Captain)

Six teams consisting of enthusiastic talent from years seven to twelve were chosen to be in this year's Basketball squad. These Loreto teams were eager to do their best at the Tournament held at Albert Park stadium.

It was unfortunate, however, that

this year's Basketball Tournament was cancelled due to a lack of

schools entering the competition. Nevertheless, the teams still met for

training once a week and played matches against each other. Our wonderful Sports teachers, Mrs.

Stobie and Miss Dickinson, set up some games against other schools for the various teams and in which Loreto fared well.

A special thanks must go to Mrs. Genovese who trained the two

senior teams and taught us new skills. Her time and effort was

greatly appreciated.

Although it seems as though this year's Basketball season was a bit of a "no-show", the efforts put in by the squad were tremendous and thanks are extended to those girls for their commitment. Hopefully next

year, the talents at Loreto will make them winners at the Albert Park

competition.
