"MEETING THE CHALLENGE TO MAKE SPACE FOR OTHERS"

For many years now the Catholic Church has been talking about and grappling with the "preferential love of the poor" -

saying "YES" to acting and living in ways which respect the essential dignity of all people. Our cover is a kaleidoscope of "YES" moments in our 1992 Loreto community at Mandeville Hall.

One of the highlights of the year has been the visit of Loreto Sisters, Sr Maureen Burke and Sr Sandra Perrett. This extended visit to our

school is part of an Institute

(I.B.V.M.) initiative to assist each of its Australian schools in their

on-go ng commitment to Loreto education. In this team Ministry programme, Srs Maureen and Sandra invest their energies and expertise in two Loreto schools each year. In this way the six schools in Australia will be visited over the

three years of the programme. Key emphases in their work at Mandeville, which we asked Maureen and Sandra to undertake,

were in the areas of justice education and student leadership.

New plans Meanwhile plans are under way for another building project. We have long wanted to take Year 7 out of

the rooms at the top of the historic house and to move them, together with Year 8, into another area. This

will be possible with the demolition of the Convent residential wing, that is called St Joseph's, and the

construction of a new building which will accommodate eight good-sized classrooms and a large recreation and assembly area for the students at those levels. The construction of

this new building will also allow us to create a V.C.E. centre at the heart of the school which will also

be a great asset.

Under the capable guidance of a group of first-class coaches (with L

rowing and organisation of the Club improved dramatically.

Rowing, running, sleep and schoolwork dominated our first term

and training was rigorous. A much more serious attitude was taken

towards our training sessions and socialising was reduced to I

off-the-water banter.

This diligence was rewarded with the superb results of our crews at all the regattas this year, particularly at the Head of the Yarra and the

Head of the Schoolgirls' Regatta. Another exciting event this year was the arrival of our shiny new ergometer which was the reward for many weeks of selling M&M's. The dedicated attitude of all rowers,

Ski Teams

Skiing The Mandeville Ski Team this year is

to be congratulated on their fine effort. As expected the weather was freezing with low visibility, however this was not to deter the ski team.

Thursday 27th August saw the Senior A team come fourth out of 48

schools Unfortunately they were unable to attend the Australian

Interschool Championships at Mt. Buller.

On the Friday, Michelle Florenini, our snowboarder on the team, came an overall second in the Senior division.

The Intermediate team, skiing on shaky knees, braved the cold 37 '91 9

weather to ski well. Likewise, our

Junior girls did not let the team down with their fine performance on

Skyline. As a school we look forward to seeing them perform as well as they did this year in future years. Kate Canavan, Ski Captain
