m# de ,4464 Mother Mary Gonzaga Barry IBVM. who led the courageous little band of Loreto Sisters to Ballarat in 1875. was a remarkable woman in so many ways, a woman of great vision. She exhorted her Loreto students to " Culti\'ate kn-ge-mindedness: let there be nothing peth' and

narrow in your view, judgments and opinions. " She wanted her students to be open-minded

and open-hearted in their dealings with each other and with all people. and to live their lives to the full. enjoying all the blessings and the.joys that come our way. embracing the challenges, facing the difficulties. Herwords are just as pertinent forus iii 2001 as they were in her day.

Let us cultivate large-mindedness. be it in regard to our multi-cultural society. out- indigenous people. the asylum seekers who come for refuge. all those who suffer injustice in our world.

May all that we do at school cultivate large-mindedness and open-heartedness.

Mother Gonzaga relished all that was good and beautiful and would encourage us to do that too. to savour all that is beautiful in our world. "Use your young eve, mid store away pictures of all that is beautiful in God '4 creation: fr(,iii the passing glimpse of a tinY wild flower, or of a little brook with its fringe Of frrns and gras.ses, to the magnificent view of a lofty mountain, or of a broad river with its white xitil-boats .skimming like birds over tile smooth brighl waters."

Despite its difficulties, its ambiguities and its challenges, life is a precious gift. to be lived to

the full, in faith and hope and love, with confidence that God is to be found in all things, even the most perplexing.

This magazine is a testimony to our life together in 2001, its myriad joys and its blessings

Dr Aline Hunt

Penzl Fle 2001 has been a good year for Loreto Mandeville Hal] in so many ways. Students from Years 7-12 have involved themselves iii many different aspects of school life, have given of their best, and in so doing have contributed to the School.

Congratulations are due to all the students for their endeavours. and special thanks are also due to the Homeroom teachers and Year Coordinators who work in such a dedicated way throughout the school year. looking after and encouraging each ancl L

L

every young person in their care.

Building a positive school culture is such an important task - it is what we. as educators. consider the 1110St important thing.

School culture is a strong determinant of the behaviour that occurs in the school, and so to promote a good study ethic. a community of respect and belonging is an important und ongoing task in all that we do.

This year Loreto Mandeville Hall has become involved in the second stage of the Gatehouse Project entitled A

Road Beyond Gatehouse. This project, run by the Centre for Adolescent Health and

Ikilitated by the Catholic Education Office. is aimed at enhancing emotional well-being by promoting positive learning and social environments and engagement in schools. The members of the Gatehouse task force, Mrs Felicity Ferdinands (Year 7 Coordinator), Mrs Lynne Beck (Year 8 Coordinator). Mr Ron Ferdinands (Year 9 Coordinator) and Dr Susan Stevens (Director of Pastoral

Care) decided to .survey Year 8 students to gain a profile of the social and learning environments at Loreto. as perceived by the students. Participating Year 8 students answered questions about themselves, all aspects of the school and their friends. The information gained from this survey

will be shared with the whole School community, and will help us in identifying the pastoral needs of our School for 2002. Meanwhile we continue, through our classroom practice. our extensive

co-curricular offerings and our leadership programmes, to work on enhancing good relationships. strong communication and a sense of belonging for every student.

*U **int 39'r.ifft can't remember my first day of school in vivid detail. 1 can say for certain that when I padded into the Prep classroom in my pinny und slippers that 1 was allof excited. scared and sad. Last week when I finished school forever

nothing had really changed. except this tinle it wasn't my mother 1 was sad to be leaving. but my year level. my teachers and the school I know so well.

1 think one of the greatest strengths at our School is the communal buzz that is so evident across the year levels. The size of our school population is such that you cim hefriend every girl in your year level but also know every face in the corridor. It's for that reason that there is such a happy atmosphere when both ;tall and students are crowded into Mandeville Hal] for a lunchtime concert, or

when a crowd of Mandevilie girh charge down tile hanks of the Barwon belting out the -war cry" at the rowing. Anyone in its path is literally fureed to be swept along in the Apirited march or get out of the way! There ix that same senxe of unity at the PAR We sit huddled in our Houses amidst crepe paper. teased hair and talcum powder, ready to applaud one anotheix singing and dancing talents.

1 know that is that sense of community that I will miss most next year, when my year level and each graduating year level in turn is scattered throughout the state. or the country. But what is reassuring to know is that we

will nonetheless be united by not only a shared history, but shared values. For 1.oreto is indeed a school that teaches its students that friendship. compassion. justice and integrity are its important ideaE as knowledge itself.

At the start of the year. the councillors spent a weekend together choosing the school theme for 2001. The fruits of our weekend: 'Knowyour beliefs, Act from Within'. h was a theme inspired by the notion of sincerity,

0 G

that we should be on the outside what we know to be true on the inside. As Mary Ward said 'We should be such as we appear and appear such as we are.

Our theme was a challenge to lili of us to question our actions. to enure that we are living our lives according to our own beliefs.

It has also been wonderful to join the Junior School in actizities this year. Feast Day was its usual a very happy day. Girk from Prep to Year 12

gathered together for a liturgy in the gym fullowed by the traditional hil,isage sizzle, snowballs, line-dancing and tunnel ball on the oval.

I am taking away a year of very happy memories. so many of which can be traced back to the friends that make up the class of 2001.11-11,1Nt .tiM) thank the councillors who formed a mix of exciting. kind and creative thinkers. 1 am also grateful to Sarah Dynon, our Vice Captain for her friendship over the years and all that we have shared together this year. We have both enjoyed the

opportunity to work so closely with our Principal Dr Anne Hunt and Deputy Principal Dr Susan Stevens. I have learnt a great deal from them this year and also from Mr Brian Ellett w'ho is teacher. year level co-ordinator and friend to all of Year 12. On behalf of my year level. I would also like to thank teacher>, of

both the Junior and Senior School for their endurance. patience lind inspiration throughout our school lives.

22222!KM COUNCILI OR P¢'

I wish you all the best of luck in the years to come. I have every

confidence that the Year 12x in 2002 and each graduating class from here on will

¥

do many good things for our School.

Having just the vi Nion'% no hollition.

Plittilig it together That's what Colilltx..."

Stephen Sondheim, Sunday in the Park With George.

Above: The SR(' putting it together'

When 1 refiect upon the achievements of the 2001 SRCs. one particularly salient image comes to mind. An image in which the SRCs of 2001 proved themselves to be w-ong. assertive young women: an image which revealed that these were women with enough resolve to resist the plaintive and dexpairing looks of Trudi. as she tried desperately to convince them to give her at leaht one of their club sandwiches during their lunch meeting with Dr Hunt to discuss the piessing issues of the day!

Having proved their mettle. the SRCs were ready to take on a myriad of causes and pro.jecA. which would teach them vaillii[:le organisational kills .ind enable them to hone their leaderhhip skills. To be an SRC you had to be multi-killed: SRCs ubniitted maintenance requests, pleaded the case for socks in the winter uniform: raised money fur various causes. such as Reach Out: helped Dr Hunt play host to \arious visitors to the School. such as the Honourable Peter Costello and raised the School s awareness about various issueh. such as litter in our School and the need to conserve water.

Another fund memon 1 have of SRCs in action was an excellent presentation iii a School Aisembly (which would have made Ilax Luhrmann envioiIN i. which promoted :1 Sunsinart meage, a. well as the new school un hati Choreographed and produced b> Claire Ogilvy and the

Yr 9 SRCM. the romantic· subplot and the strains of Joe Cocker'<."You can leave >our hat o:i." made everyone start to think loiigingly about suininer. as well as drumming home the need to be Suns mart. Everyone agreed: the new hats were set to be the hot fashion accessory 1-or the Rummer!

In my role as the SRC Staff Liaison. I worked closely with the Year 12 leaders. helping them to plan meeting and xet and realise specific goals fur their allocated year levels . It was a pleasure to work With uch vibrant. atute and good humoured young women. Moreover. 1 was impressed by the depth of leaders in the junior and middle school and feel confident that :he SRC will continue to grow und provide students

with tlic opportunity to develop as a leader iii our School community in the coming years.

Key achievementN:

• The SRC raised funds for: the MS Society ( Barrack Hard tor MS Day): Challenge Cancer Network: Emetald Hill City MiNon: Reach Out for Youth Depresion.

• The SRC raised au:ireness oft the importance of personal responsibility re: litter in the School Commullity (The Mandevillimi Tragedy) and (itir beaches: heitig sunmart: conserving water: signilicant women of the 2(,th ce-itury • The bRC celebrated: International Women'x Day • The SRC developed their leadership hkills thi*ough: Year level SRC luncha with Dr Hunt.

Where ami? I'm walking... 110 1-miling. Running through the lield of my dream. The sky. the colour of a ripened peach. the clouds like the soft wool of a lamb and the tields groning wild like a fire. I could xtay here forever. Wait! Whats that? Up ahead -like an orb tloating in mid-air. As I approach it, it seemh to move forming the outline of a person. a girl. Slowly it comes into focus. the girl ix skipping happily. smiling like the person beside her. Why do [ get the feeling I know this girl when I have never seen her before in my life? Yet she seems so familiar.

Earthquake Earthquake. earthquake. how do you do?

I met you at the very same Zoo.

You make the earth shake and the buildings break.

The bridges all full down. you are called an earthquake.

You cause a lot of damage. cars full into your cracks.

The people run away from you :i. fast as they can.

You wibble and you wobble and you make cracks in the roads.

SI

Nobody ever knows when you are going to come next, that's why you are called an earthquake!

Chump had to rescue Eisha, the last water child from evil Rubbisha. the pollution queen. Eisha was the one who made lovely clean water but Rubbisha polluted it. Eventually Chump,

with the help of the audience. rescued Eisha from Rubbisha's pollution. It was a funny play and 1 enjoyed it.

Feelings about my First

Federation Day

Communion

The day before my First Communion 1 felt very excited When I arrived at St Peter's Church I felt happy. \ When I walked down the aisle I felt nervous.

When I read and received the Eucharist 1 fult proud.

1

When we walked out of the Church I felt

composed and reverent.

One hundred wai-4 ago it must have been a very hard life. Cutting down trees to use the wood for the fire and going to milk the cow every morning for fresh milk rather than going to the milk bar would have been different.

On Federation Day I did three activities and they were sewing. olden day immes and dancing. The games that we played included pick up sticks. quoits and skipping. It was a busy but fatitastic day.

1 Ile r ty111g DOOKWOrnl On Thursday 23 August Charlotte and Glenn from the Flying Bookworm Theatre Company came to the Junior School to put on a performance. The

performance was based on three of Banjo Paterson's greatest poems. They xtarted off with a poem called "Mulga Bill's Bicycle". As they acted out the poem the plot was explained. The second poem they performed was called "The Man from Iron Bark: The poem was about a man from Iron Bark. who travelled a long way

and humorous morning! One of the things we liked about the performance was the performers invited some girls up to help them act out the poems. They used simple costumes to enhance their performance.

Earn and Learn During Earn and Learn we all made up a business. like a pet shop, or a car shop.

Some of us were given Government positions like Deputy Prime Minister,

Treasurer. Recourse Minister and Secretary.

The girls who were given a Government position did not create a business.

We were all given four weeks worth of pay to start us off. but we took away all the taxes etc. Each week we had to buy $60.00 worth of food. and every two weeks we had to buy one white good or an electrical item.

(Eg. a television or a washing machine)

The whole point of Earn and Learn was to teach us about the real world. It was great! ! !

clarinet. flute. trombone or trumpet.

We had our lesson every Wednesday morning in Semester One. I. (Samantha) chose the trumpet and my teacher was Miss Anderson. I

enjoyed it so much that I continued on with it and my mum now lets me play for her. I. (Caroline) learned the clarinet and my teacher was

Mrs. Meachem. She was very nice.

We learned many pieces and it was really, really fun. At the end of the

Camp At Sovereign Hill On the 30 July Year 5 went to Sovereign Hill. Ballarat for a three day camp. We were to experience life in the 1850's.

We left for Ballarat at 7 o'clock sharp and we arrived at Sovereign Hill at about 9 o'clock. We left our bags in the stables and we went to meet Sir, Most men in the olden days had to be called Sir not Mister. Women were called Maam. Sir was funny but very strict. He said that we were not to be 20()1 children but act as if we were the 1850's children. We quickly put on our costumes and mine had purple on it. After that we went to school and I was in the St. Peter'x Denominational School. which was also known as the expensive school, On every Sunday the school was uxed as a church. Our teacher wax ma*am and she seemed kind but strict, Because 1 was Nhort, I was in Year 2. The grades went up to Year 5, At the end of the two days we had to pay our fees. All the Year 2% had to pay a shilling. I'm not quite sure how much money that is these days.

1 really liked camp because I'd never been on camp to Ballarat before and I will remember it all my life.

By Cathy Ta

On 30 July Year 5 went to Sovereign Hill Ballarat lor a three day camp. We left Mandeville Hall at 7 0'clock sharp and we arrived at about 9 o'clock. When we first got there we put our bags in the stables and we went to Beasley's, which was where we changed into our 1850's clothes.

Then we went to school. For the next two days we were to live our lives as children on the goldfields in the 1850's, After school each day we had fi-ee time. dinner. more free time. then a concert and then bed. It was great fun!!

Eenie Meanie

1 thought Eenie Meanie. a play we saw earlier this year. was really good. It made people realise that bullying is not something that goes on for life, because you can do something about it. even if it's not happening to you. You need to tell someone. When I saw the part where they said ."

1 will give you some of my lunch if you will be my friend". It related to when I was little and I was a leader and everyone would say, " Ill give you my lunch if you play with me".

Wombat Visit Acute little baby wombat came and visited us iii Year 5 Red in June. The reason for this

was that a client of Lizzie Doyle's dad, who is a vet. had found it by the side of a road.

c:6l64U

A few weeks after it was found Lizzie's dad

brought it in for us to see. It was so cute and so small. Because it's mother died it

had to be wrapped up in blankets. so that it would fuel like it was in its mother's

pouch. It had very sharp claws to help it build a home. Lizzie's dad said that when it

was old enough. he would set it free.

It was a great visit.

Book Week In week 6 of Term 3. the Junior School celebrated Book Week. On Tuesday 21 August. Alison Lester visited us. She is the author and illustrator of many books such as Imagine. My Farm, The Miigic Beach, The Quicksand Pony and many more. On Wednesday we all dressed up as a book character. 1 dressed up as a giant baby and others dressed up as fairies or witches. Throughout

the day we completed different activities such as dancing. mask making. cooking and painting. The activity I most enjoyed was making a "Pog" out of plasticine. On Thursday the Flying Bookworm came. They performed short plays based on Banjo Paterson'x poems. The plays were very funny!

I enjoyed Book Week very mitch.

Picture Storybook We knew that this year we would be making a picture storybook in Term 3. We were all very excited and couldn't wait to get started. We began by writing a draft of our story and Miss Blackie helped us edit our work. We were asked to find a hard cover book. either from home or from an op-shop that would be used as a cover for our books. 1 found mine in an op-shop. When we finished the corrections we were given sheets of paper on which to do our illustrations and paste our typed paragraphs. We then covered our books with paper and put on our front covers. which were then contacted. Once finished. we sewed the book together.

i enjoyed making my picture storybook and I am iry proud of the end product.

Year 8 Essay Winner - Monica Lillas "THE TRUTH IS..."

The truth is I can't write. well not very well at least. All my life I've been trying to get better at writing but I have had little success, Yet once a year I am given the chance to write something worth reading. Once a year my school has a writing competition in which everyone must compete. We are all given ten topics and we are forced to write about one. When it was announced that we were to

have a writing competition in two weeks most of the class groalled. With the exception of Becky. 1 don't think anyone looked happy about the idea. Becky won the competition last year.

Becky's story was wonderful. she did deserve to win. When I compared it to my own 1 was embarrassed, To tell you the truth my own story last year was a complete failure. It was a combined mixture of a number of books I had recently read, Altogether it was quite dismal. However I xee no reason why this year's attempt at story writing will be any better.

As I glance around the room I can see everyone else writing away. like robots programmed to produce a piece of work. Meghan is sitting next to me. writing ftiriously. Her hand rests on her piece of paper as her pencil moves swiftly across the page. She is writing about her life. as I can see her chosen topie. I know this. As 1 look around the room. fur someone else to describe I notice Hannah.

She is crouched over her piece of paper. mumbling under her breath. Her plaits swing furward as she bends closer to her work. as. if she's expecting to see something more there than just a piece of paper. Maybe Hannah is trying to see her vivid story within her page.

1 Lilli not rilling that out tls a possibility.

As my mind moves to other thoughts I catch Meghan's eye and we both smile. She's now gazing off into space along with about half of our class. Iths amusing to observe what types of activities people participate in. The events include: pencil sharpening, yawning, coughing and. my Itivourite. getting lost in space. I often get lost out of the window. as nature is always quite relaxing.

Again my thoughts are moving on. I am thinking of the aftermath of this essay. During play lunch everyone will be asking everyone else what they wrote about. When I tell my friends about what I wrote lily essay on I dont know what they'll think. lin usually not

this daring. I keep to myself a bit and I never like too much attention. My eyes again fall on the clock and I see we only have about twenty minutes left. It is tillie to conclude.

In writing this essay. I have discovered that I'm not so bad at writing. as long as Ihn telling the truth. I've never been a good liar.

This has also been a big step for me in coming out of my safe little shell. and exposing myself to the world. These are lily innermost thoughts. and it will take a considerable amount of courage to hand in this essay. Learning more about myself has cost me two sheets of paper. about half a pencil and a rubber. This is a cheap price to pay for discovering what 1 am good at -writing the truth.

My English teacher once told me to be proud, always, to put my mime on any piece of writing I do. 1 Can safely say that this will be the case today. The truth is ... this is the truth.

Year 9 Essay Winner - Sara MacLeod THE POLITICIAN

As Mr Bartley pulled on his checked vest. he thought about what his day would bring. Arrive at work approximately 15 minutes early. set up his computer and organise his desk ready for use. He would pass by Miss Jeanne's office and say hello, enquire about her lunch break and after receiving a very blunt. "No. I'm much too busy today, John". he would move on to the kitchen and pour

himself a luke-warm cup of coffee. He would then proceed to walk to his secretary who would give him a list of "being a friendly. considerate politician" chores and he would set to work. He always did a good job.

Mr Bartley tied his laces (very neatly as they were brand new and he always likes to look tidy) and set off to work. 1 must change', he thought. 1 really must'

He was sick and tired of being the boring member of parliament. who was never invited to go places after work. or invited to have lunch. He was deep in thought as his short. stocky body moved along the sidewalk, until he walked into someone.

'1'm so sorry" he mumbled.

-Oh it's quite alright. 1 really wasn't watching where I w as going. I was reading these papers". She pointed to about fifteen sheets of

paper lying on the ground. beginning to be swept away by the wind. Mr Bartley ran after them, attempting to do something nice for the rather beautiful lady until he realised that this was unuxual. uncommon. not called for. off beat and infiinging on his everyday ways. He stopped the woman in her frantic rush to collect her papers and asked if he could repay her somehow. maybe buy her lunch'? Wow. things were taking a weird turn. She looked up and agreed and he trotted off to work (now coming late) in a very contented mood.

He found his secretary waiting outside the office. She was unhappy and seemed irritable and inipatient. She promptly enquired about his whereabouts. and insisted he open the office as he was always early so she had no need to bring her office keys. He walked inside, and sat at his desk.

"Today is going to be the turning point of my life", he told himself.

He didn't tidy his desk. he didn't go and see Miss Jeanne. but he switched on his monitor and began playing gaines on his computer.

How strange. he though. all the years I've had this computer. and never played these games. simply marvellous! In an even happier mood he set off to lunch a fuw hours later. which went smoothly and he even asked his new lady (Miss Amy Jane) to attend a movie

with him on Friday. which she agreed to. As he was so engrossed with her. and her intelligence. he arrived 45 minutes later than his usual arrival time. after lunch. He hadn't done any work today and he felt rebellious. he was just an everyday politician. He hadn't given his secretary any chores today and wondered how she must feel.

He had changed his history! By turning all his attention towards that one little thought this morning. and not paying notice to where he was going. he had completely changed the course of his day. and the course of everybody else's. His secretary had an uneventful day. and eventually this had made her moody and only just bearable. Miss Amy Jane had met a new man. and Mr Bartley thought fur once this relationship could work. there was a bit of life in the air. and they were almost obsessed with each other. which had thrown their

days completely off-course. Miss Jeanne probably had a lonely day. without the satisfaction of having someone following her around.

All in all. Mr John Bartley. the "friendly and considerate politician" had changed his meaningless. dull ways by thinking a single thought. He had seen the true character of so many people. and changed the route of their days. and hopefully. the course of his life.

The politician. helping to make a better world.

Rev Costello talked about the so called "whmers" and "losers" in

The documentary viewed the issues surrounding youth culture at surface value. and limited youth culture to what was worn or what lood/drink was consumed, It had a similar feel to many wildlife documentaries. it seemed to 'Look at the teen in his/her natural

Despite all the criticism of the multinationals. the documentary failed to pick up sonic of the finer points surrounding the issue that the multinationals were criticised for neglecting, For this reason. the documentary seemed to be mildly hypocritical.

Year 11 Essay Winner- Lucy Ludescher "The Truth Is"

Anna and I had plans for our lives. We had carefully calculated them at difterent stages of our years together. We had made important decisions. such as who we would marry and what we would call our children. over tea parties we threw regularly with our pink plastic tea set. Anna's grown up voice was better than the impersonation I could do. Her lipstick was always smeared neater than mine and I usually let her have the good dress ups.

Once it was time to begin school our plans changed. Anna was now going to marry Jack, not Sean as she was originally adamant about in

Kinder. Jack had a teddy bear appeal to him. with a little button nose and gleaming green eyes. He was going to be "a lady killer" when he was older according to Anna, something I suspect she'd heard her older sixter say. I wasn t so lucky. 1 had to marry Damien Norris simply because he'd prolexed his love to me one lunchtime and now I couldn't shake hini. 1 was also lucky to have anyone willing to marry me because I wasn't like Anna. My hair was mouse brown Lind knotted: Anna's was a light tan colour. My nails were bitten and dirty. I had a

well rounded puppy look and my feet were slightly turned in. Anna was thin and graceful. She was destined to be a ballerina. We were the odd couple.

High School came around and the plans had rotated again. Anna would now be living in London. a successful ex-ballerina turned business woman of the year. with her two children Imogen and Natalia. Her current boyfriend Ben would definitely be the one she would marry, who would make her incredibly happy as he would dole on her every word. I would probably still have to end up with Damien Norris. which 1

was none too happy about. No matter what 1 tried 1 was stil l unable to shake him. I purposely refused to wash my hair. wore my oldest clothes and my most loved tracksuit pants around him and when he went to give me my first kiss I wiped my nose on my sleeve. Anna had it all worked out though. she'd be happy.

With university. along came Charlie Beaut'ord. the ultimate love of Anna's life. Or so she thought. Charlie proposed to Anna with a huge diamond ring and she was hysterically happy. Dainien Norris proposed to me and I told him to drop dead. Charlie and Anna Beautord moved to Hong Kong so Chat*lie could pursue his dazzling film career. When 1 asked what Anna would do, Charlie responded with his [lawless Colgate sinile (which made me uncomfortable and 1 suspect was purely thanks to orthodontical mil-acles) with a simple "Anna will do whitt she always does. sit there and look beautiful". Anna lowered her eyes with what I mistook as embarrassment. 1 looked away with disgust.

Through out- early career yean the only Contact Anna and 1 had was by mail. We wrote every two weekx or so. She wa always good at writing expressively so she often wrote reminAcing over our childhood. Particularly of the old willow tree out by Dorger'% farm.

The tree we used to climb on M summer while orange icy poles streaked our chins to make them sticky, We made most of our plans there.

f#/=49"*.':#1

1 received a phone call thix morning. It was Charlie. As soon as 1 heard it was him my throat tightened. Anna was dead. Shed been dead for 48 hours before her body was found. There were no slashes across her wrists or bullet wounds that'd entered through the mouth to completely shatter not only her brains but also her life. No. that wouldn't have been Anna's style. Charlie had come home from a business trip to find her lying thei-e under a tree in their backyard. I lie in bed at night now awake with images and guilt colliding as one. Images of Anna alive and by my side. Our childhood and young adulthood. memories wafting along togethei-. Then there are the images of Anna lying under a

tree. not just any ti'ee. our willow tree at Dorger's farm. But she's not winging a dainty leg off a branch as she used to. shek lifeless. pale with blue lips and stirringly haunting eyes. The truth ix I think I knew how unhappy Anna was. I knew what her home life was like. 1 knew that fake. covering smile. But I let myself fall for it. Damien says 1 can't blame myself, but how can I not'? The truth is I took the easy way out of not confic,nting the truth itself. But perhaps it was Anna who took the easiest way out of all, Now I am left to Nit by out- willow tree and change my plans all over attain.

General of Japan in Australia. The topic #,as: "You received an unexpected parcel from one of your internet friends in Japan. Describe w hat >ou find in the parcel."

20:t'.

What's in the Box?

Lat year in Japanese each vudent received a Japanese Internet friend. My pen pal was called Yumiko. Initially. I was a little unhappy. as every one el.e had received someone his or her own age but 1 got ued to writing to a 59 year-old. Yumiko lives in Toyama. Honshu. We

had been xending e-mails to each other fur a while. approximatel> one year. (jecti4ionally we would send letters with |ittle gil'th in them.

I noticed that each letter I received from Yumiko was xedled with a sparkling Silver Star.

Yesterday. instead of receiving a little letter iii the mail. I received a large parcel. It was wrapped in blown paper and bound with string. it had my name and address clearly printed on the front, Underneath the hard. ruilled paper. wax a box. a rather big box. Should I dare open the box? 1 thought to mrell. I wonder what is inside it'.1 1 wabn't going to waste any time. 1 iliserted my finger under the tab:

opened the Md to reveal a remarkable layer of heautifully hand made pink paper. It was slightly ruilled with a silver shine to it. Situated on top was a letter. 1 picked up the letter and turned it over. 1 w'a sure now that thi3 gift was from Yumiko, a. it was sealed with a little tw'inkling silver star. just like all her other letters.

Inside the letter she urote:

As I walked into my bedroom after school. I saw a huge parcel on my bed. As I ripped open the brown paper 1 saw a fantastic parcel wrapped in white Japanese rice paper and script paper. tied with a big red ribbon and decorated with chopsticks, 1 then realised it was from my Internet friend. Takako who lives in Tokyo. Japan. 1 had met her on the Internet two weeks earlier and we promised we'd send each other a package, which gives us an insight into each of our countries. 1 opened it and found many exciting objects.

On top ofthe parcel was a note with a haiku poem. Takako told me that haiku poems are the most popular forms of Japanese poetry but people all over the world enjoy writing these poems. They are only three lines long and contain 17 syllables. The first line has five, the second line has seven and the third line also has five. The numbers three, tive and seven are important in haiku poetry because they are

lucky numbers. Takako told me I should try to write some haiku poetry, and try the subjects of life and nature. because they are the most popular.

The first treasure I pulled out ofthe parcel was a beautiful. embroidered. colourful kimono. This kimono was a 'yukata' which isa light and comfortable kimono worn in summer. Takako said that although all Japanese people love modern clothes. they all treasure the traditional kimono. As I slipped it over my clothes. I already felt transported to another world.

When I pulled out the next item I was very surprised. It was leaves that are used for tea ceremonies. With the tea leaves were the sweets that were served with the tea. Takako sent me them so 1 could see the exquisite patterns and shapes that they were decorated with. Takako went to a traditional tea ceremony not long ago and she told me that they were becoming more popular these days then ever before.

Takako told me that after the small snack. they all keep quiet. as this is meant to bring the feelings of the hosts and guests into harmony.

The next gift was wonderful with its long slender body and its beautiful tlower designs. no wonder the kokeshi doll artists receive such honour. Out of the thousands of people skilled in the traditional arts only a few people receive the title, 'Living National Treasure.' These people receive money from the government so they can continue their work and pass their knowledge and skills onto the next generation.

Although the next gift wasn't as exciting as the others. it was very interesting. It was an electronic catalogue with the latest 'Sony' goods, Takako said she would love to send me something from the catalogue but it was way too expensive. Japan is now the world leader in computers and electronics and I was amazed to see how technologically advanced Japan is.

The next gift wasn't as successful as Takako thought. She had tried to send me some dried cherry blossom. which was now, dead, brown

and shrivelled up. But. Takako still sent me some interesting information on cherry blossom. Takako picked this blossom in one of the few days it blooms. Iii Japan, when the cherry blossom blooms. everyone celebrated. but some people are sad because they know that the cherry blossom will soon die and go back to its ordinary state for 51 more weeks of the year.

As it was Takako's birthday two weeks ago. her parents took her to see the baseball and sumo wrestling. Sumo wrestling is leisure sport for the old and young. and has always been popular. Takako sent her old ticket from the baseball and her program from the sumo wrestling

(which of course 1 coilldn't read). But. as much as Takako loves watching these sports, she is glad she plays tennis and volleyball like most girls and women in Japan.

Takako also sent me a very interesting object called a nest. The Japanese are apparently experts at making these although they are not the ones inade out of sticks and strings. Here is the description of the nest Takako made and sent me, There are several squares the same shape but in different sizes, each square fits inside the other one. This nest was covered in handmade paper called, 'washi' but they can also be covered in origami papei·.

Of course an insight into Japan would never be complete without origami. Takako sent me three shapes in origami, which included a paper crane, a kimono doll and a frog. She also told me that you could make birds. animals, fish, flowers. and all different types of decorations and gifts. She also sent me some origami paper and instructions so lean attempt to make some myself.

Takako's package helped me learn many new, exciting and interesting facts about Japan in a pleasurable way. And if l'in going to give her something as fantastic and infonnative. Im going to have to think further than a meat pie and sauce!

anxious to get started. All the teams from around Australia were gathered together at the University of Tasmania, in the main lecture theatre at 8.00am lo hear the arrangements for

the day. Shortly afterwards. we ventured off to our rooms to create a solution fur our problem. Three hours had passed very quickly before we were finally ready. We then had to

Year 10 Essay Winner- Christine Borovec Dancing Class Year 10 Dancing Classes were a much talked about thing at our school. In fact once the forms inviting us to participate in these classes were handed around, it was all we ever talked about. 1 remember coming to school the day the forms were ?? and seeing all my eager clasimates patiently lining up in from of ]Vh Younghs office: they looked as if they were lining up for front row tickets to a once-only N Sync concert or something. 1 almost expected to see people in sleeping bags. as if they d been camping out. I had heard many rumoirs about Dancing Classes which had been passed down from year to year. I was even gullible enough to believe some of these Urban legends: 1 had an image in my mind of these unintelligent. slightly comical guys who only turned up for a bit of a grope. 1 felt slightly uneasy

Friday afternoon had linally come. there was a leeling of anticipation in the air, many tried to act nonchalant, but their fugade was transparent. The impulse and other sweet smelling dendorants had done once too many of a round around our locker room and the air had become thick with twenty different fragrances and loud charter. The buses arrived and we all piled in. taking out our lip glosses

and 'Extra'. we mustn t have bad breath alter all! We walked up what felt like 20 flights of steps. which vinelt like a bunch of guys had been there not too long ago. Ah I walked up the stairs. I was litening or any sign of St. Kevin's life. but talk from us girls was drowning out any trace. We dumped our bags outside und had a peak into the big, sunny room which we would spend quite a deal of time in and saw packs of St. Kevin'> bor. all different hape>, and 3ize.. looking rather uncomfortable. though a few were laughing and.joking around. The Loreto girls lined lip in it rather wonky line along side the room and walked in one at a time. to be greeted by our first dancing partner for the lesson. 1 looked around the room at <onie of the expressions. Some had grins on their faces like as a Che>,hire cal as if to hay "Look at who 1 got as a partner?" Others looked a bit disappointed as if to say "Why couldn't I have got that hottie behind me" and others just looked downright terrified as if to sa>. 'Oh my Gotl. what am I doing here?"

Whiny. noisy and just plain daggy music waited throligh speakers. everyone groaned. Well. what did they expect! 11>; obviously not a nightclub. A frazzled middle-aged woman guided us through our first dance: The Samba. Pretty soon the girls were moving around the circle and the catchphrase was "Hi, I' m (insert name here)". The atmoiphere. however was not relaxed. and there was a desperate sense ofeveryone trying to impress. The nen'ousness was showing through by the numerous sweaty palms and guys' voices breaking when introducing themselves. Vin surprised the leachen were polite enough to keep a straight face. the amount of hormones bouncing off the walls was enough to give to hundreds of menopausal women in need of HRT. twice over.

Every week gradually became more easy-going. We all started becoming ourselves and sonic came to realise just how friendly these once intimidating guys were. At lunchtinies, we hpun off our anecdotes over and over again. like how that one time that guy pinched

her bottom. or that time that guy fell over while trying to promenade: We even gave some of them nicknames. all meant endearingly of course. And. as expected. there were cruslies. I was one who instantly talked of my crush. but of course I'm not going to name him.

The holidays came. and we forgot about the St. Kerin'< boys. a much moir important subject came up. What where we going to wear to our social'??

We found ourselves back at St Kevin's after a long time away from them. it Wah clear they mis>,ed us as much as we missed them.

While our dances werent blossoming into polished pieces. our friendxhips were. but the dancing. Teachers grew increasingly frustrated with us. which we :111 laughed at and impenonated. I came to a revelation: Guys weren't scary. they had feelings like ez eryone else. and were interested i n the >,aine thi ngs we were. We 1 ound the saine thi ngs funny. and the same things boring.

One guy was asked what he was planning to wear to the social and responded iii saying "Well. rm going to wear a shirt, tie, jacket and pants. might as well wear a suit". Alter getting over thal rather dim-witted. but rather cute answer. 1 realised that they hadtit thought about what they were planning to wear neal-ly a, n.uch as the girls. We ob,esses over it. and spend many unsuccessful weekends searching tor the perfect outtit. something not too dressy. but something breath-taking at the same time. We each had our own victory.

The night of the social arrived. and we all went to each othet-s houses to get ready. We did each others make-up. blow dried our hair.

until we looked just right. The big question on everyone's mind was "14 there going to be any action tonight'?" We walked into the room and found our friends. they were all cooing and xquealing over how pretty everyone looked. which wax true. we scrubbed up pretty well, if I do hay so my.elf. I looked over at my crush. and was vcr) pleased with what I saw.

By the end of the second hour. we were all being pretty silly. We ditched the idea of dancing completely and were all doing our own thing. Some of u< were watching a couple of St. Ke ins guys attempting to break dance. some

of us were tollching up our make-up. while others were ilirting shamelessly.

By the third hour. 1 was relieved to find it was time to go. of adolescent boys.

They weren't xuch a weird place after all... I'd had enough. my three-inch

W

platforms had blistered my feet. the teachers were getting crabby and the guyi were equally as bored as the gil-lx.

1 left the MJhool feeling a little sad (the crush didn't notice me) but I knew that I had made some life-long mates. and I had delved into the minds

Drama Report 2001

Oscar Wilde once stated: "I regard tile theatre as the greatest of all art furms, the most initnediate way in which a hunian being Can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being," This quote is an accurate description of the power that theatre has in reflecting the human condition, and the power it hax in communicating a kindred understanding between an actor and an alidience. Drama at Mandeville this year, has challenged thix quote extending it not only between actors :ind audience, but between the many other stagecraft elements which complement each other to create 'entirety' within a play.

Throughout this busy year. the Drama department hax proven itself most successful, Mandeville has undettaken a number of productions, involving not only Drama und Theatre Studies students, but students from the wider stllilent body who have indeed been interested and appreciative of the avenues that theatie has to offer. Students involved iii Drama at this school have deniontrated a keen dedication to their responsibility in our school productions. and no doubt have discovered the benefits of Drama including, teamwork. leadership. creativity und expiressi on.

In May of this year, the Year 12 Tileatre Studies class performed an adapted version of Brain Stoker's Dracula.

As a pull of our :issement. each girl in the class had to complete two elements of stagecraft in the areas of acting. direction, stage management lighting. sound, dramaturgy. xet and costume deAign. In doing this production we were able to utilise the resources available Itt school. one such being the use of the Year 12 couityard in perfurming

the opening scene. Because of the gothic genre of /)/7/('ll/a We were able to focliN highly on lighting and sound to create the required mood relevant to the play. The Year 9/10 play, Shrick, in conjunction with Xavier College, wils performed shortly after 1,#(1,1/ic/ with the expert directional skills of Mrs. Schroor. This play was centred

around the mystery of the muffled shriek in a mansion where a concoction of characters had gathered due to a terrible Ilood. All of the cast involved in the prodliclion showed an exceptionally high standard of performance and were highly commended fur their cominitment und dedication to their production,

The performing Arts Festival this year proved to be a great success. The drama. music and dance aspects of each performance were of an extraordinary standard and were complemented with the design and technical elements of each pei-formance. Full credit goes to the captainx and leadership teams of each house who together supported each other and worked cooperatively to achieve oubtanding results. In early August. four Year 11 and 12 girls. in con.lunction with Xavier College. performed Tennessee William's play. A Streetcar Named Desire in the Crypt

Theatre itt Xavier. In order to achieve the level of development that this play required, the cast went on a draina camp to Buxton. where they were able to undertake intense workshops in character realisation and scene blocking.

All the hard work paid off with a superb final product, directed by Mr Ray Swann from Xavier, who was ably assisted by Ms Joan Morgan (Mandeville) and Mr Tony Corr at Xavier.

The Year 6 play. Alice iii Wonderland. directed by Mrs Georgie Paiker was an outstanding production.

demonstrating keen enthusiasm and dedication amongst students in the Junior School. Iii September. Year 8 girls, in Coniunction with Burke Hall. performed Pinocchic). This performance showcased outstanding dramatic .kills

and wax received extremely well amongst the school communities. In keeping with the Disney theme. Mrs. Parker's Theatre Studies class perfurmed Cinderella. whilst Mrs. Kay's Year 11 Theatre Studies class performed 111 C(111(,c )1.%.

Both plays wei-e perfunned on different nights at Chapel Off Chapel Theatre, and then as a double bill on the final production night. Both classes are to be commended for their original and entertaining perform:inces.

All these plays would not have been possible without the dedication. efforts and enthusiasm of the tireless Drama staff, Mx Joan Morgan (Head of Draina). Mrs Robyn Kay. Mi-%. Georgie Parker and Ms, Janine Geddes, to whom I extend my greatext appreciation for inspiring and supporting their students this year.

Througholit my years at Mandeville, Drama has given me a wealth of understanding and insight into the human condition and into situations and circuinstances that I would have never experienced otherwise. This understanding has been complemented with a strong loundation education in theatre history und stagecraft, Undoubtedly, as 1 step out of Mandeville. I will value these insights its priceless. and cherish the passion for theatre. which Mandeville has ingilled ill me.

1 PINOCCHIO This year heralded the first drama based collaboration between Xavier Burke Hal] and Loreto Mandeville Hall.

Atthe beginning of Term 2. fifteen nervous. but excited girls from Year 8 arrived forthcir first rehearsal at Burke Hall. The boys sat on one side of the rehearsal space and the girls huddled closely together on the oppocite side of the room. and everyone pretended not to notice each other. even though there were a lot of sui'reptitious glance. occurring.

Eighteen weeks later the Burke Hall boys and the Loreto girls were one united. noisy. creative ensemble with a wonderful production ready to present to an audience.

The cast of Pinocchio performed three times at St Martin's Theatre. South Yan-a. Each performance was warmly received by the audience and the students presented this delightful musical with great skill and enjoyment.

When the curtain fell on the last night. there was a real sense of sadness that this wonderful collaboration was over. Some of the boys offered to enroll at Loreto! However. we all had to accept that this experience was over and everyone involved can remember their achievement with great pride.

Special thanks to Mrs Robyn Kay (Loreto). who supported and chaperoned the girls wich such dedication. patience and good humour. Also. to the Loreto parents who tirelessly ferried the girls to and from rehearsals: particularly Mrs Sue Caldwell. Ms Leonie Hurry (Burke Hall) who directed Pinocchio. And. linally. to all the staff at Burke Hall who liased and upported the production so cheerfully and tirelessly.

Music has tlourished at Mandeville in 2001. and it has been exciting to be a part of it.

Over forty music sludentx plus staff started the year well before Term 1 began, with rehearsals fur the SchooD; inaugural overseas tour beginning as many headed off on holidays at the end of last year. For three weeks in January members of the Symphony lind String Orchetras. plus Symphonic and Stage Bands traveled to Rome and England. performing and sharing their talents with other students and 111 ll S I C 1 a ll S .

The tour took us to the Vatican. where we were fortunate enough to be able to play at a Papal Audience. and to two international schools in Rome. From there we traveled to Cambridge. and through Stratford. Oxford. Bath and Portsmouth to London. The girls were all able to enjoy a number of performance workhhops and master-cia,ses, with plenty of sightseeing in between. Manderille's first international tour was a great success. and a tribute to all those who made it possible.

House Music took place fur the first tinic this year, and proved a success once more as Year I I students took on the roles of leaders. and did their Houses proud as they learnt new skills arranging and conducting all the music performed.

Music Camp for senior band and choral students was held at the end of May, and provided some valuable rehearsal time for staff and students to work solidly together. developing skills and preparing performance repertoire.

At the end of May. members of the String Orchestra and Stage Band performed at Taltarni Winery, Avoca. The venue provided some interesting performance experiences and a lovely day in the country was had by all,

Celebrate Our Music was the theme for this year's Music Festival. a showcase of choral and instrumental music from both Senior and Junior Schools. This night in June allowed us to celebrate the musical skillb and talents of the young women of LMH and. fittingly in this year of Federation. to share music written by Australians, music from our European musical heritage, and music that is a more recent part of our cultural tradition.

2001 also saw the establishment of the new Friends of Music group. whose encouragement of all things musical has been much appreciated.

This year

has seen many opportunities for girls of all abilities to perform regularly. at lunchtime concerts. master-classes and Oak Parlour

recitals. A VCE recital series also allowed the VCE Music Perforniance girls opportunities to perform with other students from St Catherines and Korowa; a very useful and worthwhile collaboration.

Our Sonata Concerto recital was held in September. featuring the Loreto Symphony and String Orchestras and some very talented solo performers. This year we were fortunate enough to be able to host this event at Melbourne University's Melba Hall. providing a most professional venue and atmosphere for all the girls who performed.

Mandeville musicians have had another wonderful year full of opportunities to learn and perform, I thank all girls who involved themselves with the Music Department this year, and hope their experiences of music at LMH have been :14 fun lind fulfilling as mine have. 1 especially thank the music leaders for 2001. Johanna Sheinbrey, Lue>· MeNamara, Nicole Lee, Joanna Patocs and Lucy Fang fur their dedication and

commitment to their leadership roles, I also extend my thanks to all the music staff for the time and encouragement they give so freely to their students and ensenibles.

To all the patents and staff who have been such good 'friends of music' this year. thank you also. your support has been invaluable.

Lastly. to our Director of Music. Miss Mary O'Driscoll, and our

Music Secretary. Mrs Jennifer Dickson - your hard work and commitment are what holds the Music Department together, and 1 heartily thank you both for all the work you have put in to making LMH music so successful this year.

E to better blend their voices. This was evident at our Music Festival on tile 19 Julie.

where both Senior Choir and Vocal Ensemble performed their rei)ertoire exceptionally well. It was aho lovely to conihine with the Year 7/8 Choir to perform 'Can Yoll Hear Above: Year 7-12 Choir members in performance itt the Music Fe.ti\iiI

Later in the year Vocal Ensemble aho performed Lit music asemblia. the Pai-entk AsNociation Dinner. on FeaM Day and at Cabrini Hospital.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the calendar for the singers in our School was the 'Night on Broadway' which was held in Term 3. Alter weeks of work. the Vocal Ensemble, Senior Choir. Years 7 /8 Choir and the School's singing students performed a showcase of items from various muicals. We also had the chance to include eli(ireography into a number of the performances, and each of the choirs worked hard to produce their all hingine. all dancing. performances.

The Year 7 Choir became the Year 7/8 Choir this year and it is great to see younger girls becoming involved in choirs at school. In addition to the

Music Festival. this group took part in a combined Choir formed for the Reconciliation Gayip at the Rod Laver Arena in May and also visited Cabrini Hospital in Term 4 to perform in a Lunchtime Concert with the Year 8 Quarter.

To end the year in November. Helen Todd. a Vocal Coach based in Tasmania. visited school :ind held a workhop with singing students and members of the choirs. Ms Todd worked with us in 2000. so it was good to be able to benefit from her expertise again this >ear.

This has been a wonderful year for singing at LMH. and all the girls have enjoyed being part of its many choirs. I would particularly like to thank and congratulate the girls on all their hard work this year. and a special thank you to our dedicated Director of Music. Miss Man O Driscoll who has conducted all of the choirs in the Senior School this year. It has been a great privilege to work so closely with the choirs. and I wi all the girls the best of luck for the years to come.

The first year of GSV competition proved to be both rewarding and

Volleklloall

exciting for the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Volleyball teams. Each team displayed a great deal of dedication. and this resulted in improved skills and teamwork and in the building of strong friendships.

The Senior team benefited from playing on an Olympic-sized court at MSAC. An increased level of professionalism and confidence was apparent in the spirited team comeback in one of the two wins for the season before the team finished 3rd on the ladder. Fresh talent emerged in the Junior and Intermediate teams, both of which showed much

improvement and fought out many close matches over the season.

We would like to thank our coaches Mr Alon Kaiser (Senior). Mrs

Felicity Ferdinands (Intermediate) and Kamy Lee (Junior) for their support. patience and encouragement throughout the season. Most of all. we wish to thank the girls for their hard work. enthusiasm and good spirit. Such effort and attitudes ensured that our season would be

Under the expert direction of our coaches. Arthur and Mr Best (Seniors), Ms Lucy Vallence und Ms Jo Eager (Juniors). and

Mr Ron Ferdinands (Interniediates). the teams were able to play five games each. Though we only had a couple of win. we had several good matches against some pretty tough and experienced opposition. Our last match against Firbank showed a huge improvement froin the beginning of the season and held out a lot of promise for next year.

The year'x Soccer was a fantastic experience and a lot of fun.

Cricket The achievements of the LM H Cricket team reached another level this

year! The greatest highlight for the season was playing on the MCG twice. Our MCG debut was a clinic with the Aiivt-alian Womens'

Cricket Team. The skills obtained on this day were then demonstrated in front of thousands at an exhibition of women'x cricket during the Boxing Day Test.

A fantastic season continued when we reached the xeliii-final. We pill

up a courageous fight. with the reult coming down to the last over.

Despite having played one of the best games for the season. we did not get through to the Grand Final.

The success of the cricket season would not have been possible SENIOR CRICKET

Ten n is Once again it was a great season for the Loreto Tennis

teams. This year they were participating against many different schools as a result of the new GSV competition.

The Intermediates. consisting of Yeat- 9x and 10s. were consistent throughout the season and finished in 5th place in their zone. The Senior team also played extremely well. finishing the season second on the ladder. three points behind Our Lady of Mercy. and unfortunately just missing out in the finals. The Junior team was very uccessful.

They finished the season undefeated. but unluckily were defeated in a close final. Well done to all the girls, and

Athletics began early in Term 2 thi year with many squad members training hard for the carnivals in late Term 3. It was not long before we witnessed the team transform from couch potatoes into fit aths

competitors. To ease into the competition we participated in two PB /7

meets at Duncan MeKinnon Reserve. Then it was time to prepare for the major competitions.

We qualified for Division 2 in the preliminary carnival for the new

GSV organisation. The competition was tough all day, but with some great team spirit and a display of talent we finished a close 2nd. This was a fantastic effort and proved the heights that a team

can reach with spirit and dedication.

Above L-R

The SCSA also proved to be a challenging competition. but we managed to secure a place in Division 1. On the clay there were

many great individual performances and an impressive display of team spirit when. on our arrival. we seized the opportunity to join with Loreto Ballarat to perform our famous war cry! This left the other schools in awe as they tried to decipher where this enormous Loreto team had come from.

The Victorian School Girls Relay Championships were a major highlight for the athletics team. All our teams finished in the top

nine teams in the state for age group. This was an enormous achievement. Some of the Loreto te:uns were up against 50 other teains. Our Under 164 x 400m team (Elizabeth O'Dowd, Sophie BaIL Kesiah Madden and Sian Whyte) and Under 2() 4 x 2()()m teal 11 (Sarah Dynon. Lucy Kenny. Alison Spence and Jemina MeBride) were gold medallists! Congratulations to all the teams who competed in these championships.

The Junior Athletics team also had great success. winning the

A

Armadale District Athletics Competition. which LMH has now won seven out of the past eight years.

We would like to thank our very dedicated coaches It,r their time

and unbelievable support this season: Mr Chris Stevens. Ms Angela O'Shea, Mr Norm Osborne. Mr Brian Ellett. Mr Nick Frigo. Kamy Lee und Misx Lucy Vallence. The 2001 athletics season was a success. thanks to our great coaches and an enthusiastic team. We wish you al] the very best of luck for the future and look forward to

seeing you win the GSV next year!

according to conscience, abore all liberties" John Milton

Debating is definitely the underrated co-curricular activitv at

Mandeville. It is quite unlike any other subject or activity offered here and every year. more girls are seizing this opportunity to learn the fine art of rhetoric and persuaxion: that is. to debate.

Thi.s year. nine teams were entered in Interschool DAV Debating Competition. As part of the Melbourne High division. our girls competed in five battles of oratory. between March and July.

Despite the fact that no teams proceeded to the Play-Off competition, our success is clear as marty of these results hinged upon the last debate or a few points. It was a very exciting season. particularly for the junior teams who experienced

enthusiasm and effort. I would particularly like to thank the Year 12x for their leadership in debating: I know that the girls appreciated your expertise.

This successful season could not have occurred without the help from our debating specialists: the teachers. Thank you for your time and effort throughout this year. I would particularly like to

thank Mr Andrew Mackay for his dedication in organizing both

the Interhouse and Intenchool season Lind his continual support throughout the year. Lastly. but definitely not least. 1 would like to thank the debaters of Lot-eto Mandeville Hall and their

Principal's School Report for 2001 x we come to the end of 2001.1 recall the sense of.jubilation and pride at the start of the year as we celebrated the centenary of the Federation of Australia. that momentous time when the sepat*ate British colonies of thix great southern land came together. not as .1 1-eXult of :1 Civil war or a war of independence. but as the result of a peaceful and democratic process. including a refurendum. to form a nation. the Commonwealth of Australia. Federation was a moment of great significance in our h i .tory: it gave Allhtralia a new'-1(,und voice. an identity and a place on the international stage. [t was right und fitting that we should celebrate its Centenary with great pleasure and pride in all that ha, been

A

achieved in those first 100 years of ourhistory as:t nation. At the same time. it was also right and litting that we felt a certain sadness and regret in the midst of the celebrations. a regret for what has not yet been achieved. and in particillar to acknowledge the mistreatment of Austi:llial indigenolls people. who vill wait ic,r justice and reconciliation and a fair und ilist sh:ire in the Commonwealth of our nation.

2001 was also the international "Year of the Volullteer." A we rellected on thee ] C)() yearx of Auvi-illi:l s hihtory. one colild not but be truck by the stories 01 extraordinarv uenerosity and even heroMin of the many volunteers in every area of L

Curriculum developments Rellection and con)lidation have characterised our work in curriculum this year. under the leadership of Deputy Principal Director of Studies Ms Elizabeth Burns.

We have moved to implement a range of policies. identified fur action in the xtrategic planning process in 2000. A number of outstanding gueht speakers challenged us to develop our thinking in these areas. Dr Dianne Chambers from Melbourne University addressed the staft'on Inforniation Literacy needs. as part of a programme to upgrade the information literacy Jk illh of our studentS. As part of a plan to make our students more active. responsible and resourceful learners. Dr John Loughnan from Monash University elaborated on the Independent Learner concept. with interesting ideas for implementation.

The Phrical Education Iticulty has since been working further with John to implement strategies. especially in the area of delivery of the curriculum. which promote a more responsible and independent learner. Ms Liddy Neville refoclissed our attention on ICT and its role iii teaching and learning. There has been much debate within 1-aculties around the effective use of current facilities. Curriculum is increasingly being delivered and received electronically and many students are publishing their own web page. Staff are also developing their skills in this area. with the goal of facilitating the most effective teaching and learning with the available technology.

One of the project5 fur the Prep- 12 Curriculum Committee was to evaluate the deirability and feasibility of offering the Intelliational Baccalaureate at Loreto Mandeville Hall. It concluded with a recommendation to School Council that the

VCE. with all that it offers together with the opportimities provided by the University enhancement studies. remains the most appropriate offering for us at the moinent. Many staff at LMH continue to be involved with Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority in the role of examiners, reviewers and curriculum writers.

The CATs (Common Assement Tasks) have now disappeared from the VCE! The new procedures. involving a constant strearn of SACs (School Assessed Coursework). appear to have been wrell managed by the students and has certainly resulted in a mitch quieter and less stressful environment for our VCE students.

A sub-committee of the Heads of Faculty has been convened to look at the curriculum offerings and structure for Years 7 - 10 and shall report to the full committee early in 2002. Constant evaluation of curriculum offering is exsential in light of the latest trends. substantiated by research. Current research taking place in Victoria includes the Middle Years Numeracy Project and LMH is pleased to be part of that team.

Drama

Drania and Theatre Studies continue to grow in strength. At LM H :ill students have the opportunity to study Drama to Yr

7 and may elect to take it from Years 8-10 and Theatre Studies at Years 11 and 12, We collaborated with Xavier College. both the Senior School and Burke Hall. on several productions. each one a wonderful learning experience for our students and a delight fur our audiences. One highlight fur the year was the Yr 12 Theatre Sports Conipetition involving mixed teams from Xavier and LMH. which lilled Mandeville Hall and raised money for one of the %chool charities.

Year 12 class of 2001 began the year with their production of Dracula. which was staged in both the Yr 12 courtyard and

Mandeville Hall. The dramatic atmosphere and encli»,ed nature of the counyard. lit only by candles. two follow spots and the lilli moon. added to the gothic horror effect. as required for this play. The performances of the whole cast were outstanding. Demi Pc)1.illis (Yll) as Dracula was exceptional and many in the audience did not recognise her under

heavy make-lip and an elaborate costume. ()ther special mentions include a superb set and make-up design by Rebecca Whitty. outstanding pei-lormances by Caroline Whelan. Meg McI)onnell. Gemma Pantaleo. Julie Bentley and Jane Macfarlan. and a wonderful ensemble fueling to the whole production. Thanks to Ms Joan Morgan the director. and Ms Janine Geddex the production manager.

Fundraising for many different worthy charities has been a priority with all the students. from Preparatory to Year 12. contributing to raise funds to support good work being done world-wide. The stall and xtudents who have coordinated the numerous fundraising projects this year deserve warm congratulation.

Year 7 students held a record night with a difference! A Hocus Pocus theme encouraged the girls to.join in the fun and mise $540.00 for Loreto Entaily in India. Year 8 students combined with Year 11 to embark on the annual Red Cross

Door Knock in the Toorak area. raixing $2,726.45. The Year 8 students also ran the SIDs Red Nose Day Campaign and were able to donate $476.00 to this worthy cause. After a talk by one of the Year 8 students who has a personal overseas connection. Year 8 also decided to run a pencil drive. collecting pencils for an underprivileged school in Vanuatu. As a linal fundraiser. Year 8 organised a Record night of their own. and dressed up its many difierent "Barbies." They have raised a significant aniount for one of our overseas Loreto schools. Year 9 studenb supported Canteen Cancer Network, raising $580.00 for this cause. Their well-subscribed Footy Colours Day raised a further $714.00 for the MS Society.

Year 10 students engaged iii a Leadership program with Very Special Kids. requiring involvement in the organisation as well as running a fundraiser.

The Justice Rattle conducted by the Year 11 team is strongly supported by the Senior School students and staff. This year the raftle will once again support an Aboriginal Community in Ha[Vs Creek in the Northern Territory. raising an anticipated sum in excess of $ 1.000.00.

Simply Sharing gathered hampers for the needy people of Melbourne. for distribution by the Sacred Heart Mission St Kilda. Another whole school social .justice project was the Caritas Appeal. Loreto's response to Project Compassion.

The generosity of the Loreto Mandeville Hall community meant that we were able to forward $2.029.00 to Caritas.

Congratulation are due to the Year 12 students who led tliis appeal. both educating the whole school community in terms ofout- social responsibilities. and encolinging all to give generously. Year 12 students once again assisted at the Xavier May time Faill helping them raise over $600.00 towards their appeal.

Just as important as our fund-raising programmes are the awareness-raising projects in support of social justice issues.

Loreto Mandeville Hall School Council Report 2001

It is my pleasure to present the Annual report of the Loreto Mandeville Hall School Council fur 2001.

At thetime ol the writing this report, the results fortheyear 12 students of 2001 were not available. However. as I am sure many of you are aware. the academic results produced by the School continue to impress. as Loreto Mandeville Hall ranks consistently in the top schools in Victoria. These magnilicent result are a testament to the wonderfully

dedicated teachers and staff of the School. They are committed education professionals. providing our daughter the values. attitudes and love of learning we hope them to have.

1

We are fortunate at Loreto Mandeville Hall to have a first rate leadership team, whose efforts are often unheralded, but are a large part of the

reason for the continuing improvements and focus on excellence evident in the School. A real debt of gratitude is due to our Principal Dr Anne Hunt. for her tireless dedication and leadership in the School.

Dr Hunt has excellent support from the School leadership team - Dr Susan Stevens. Ms Elizabeth Burns. Mr lan James, Mr Andrew Schmidt. MA Louise Peyton and Ms Catherine Sim. Thanks are due to al] the

leadership team, who through their work and positive attitudes ensure that Loreto Mandeville Hall remains at the forefront of the Catholic Education for girls in Melbourne.

The environment in which the School operates continues to be conipelitive und constantly changing. Student enrolinents and strategic planning remain key issues for Council. as they do for most independent private schools. To this end. the Council completed. and this year implemented. the School's cut-rent Strategic Plan.

The plan encompasses a broad number of initiatives to ensure that Loreto Mandeville Hall remains a leading Catholic Girls' School in Melbourne for many years to coine.

The School's financial condition has been the locus of : substantial amount of work and consideration over the

past decade. 2001 has been no different in this regard.

Annual School Budgets are set to achieve a small surplus, consistent with objectives in the Strategic Plan.

These small surpluses are then used for debt reduction.

State and Federal Government Funding contributes approximately only 24% of our revenue, with the

remainder of our funding coming from fees paid by parents. Loreto Mandeville Hall is a systemic Catholic school and, as a result. receives little or no benefit from the recent Federkil

The lit-st 8% al!$ of the new Spoil. Centre

Government initiatives which assist Category One schools. Council is very aware of fee increases over the past years and monitors fee increases closely, to ensure that they are at a sensible level. consistent with our competitor schools. The major cost in our School is staff salaries. which account for

approximately 75% of our revenue. Whilst teachers' salaries have not kept pace with xal:tries in the general community for much of the 1990'i there have been recent. well deserved salary increaxes which have put extra

pressure on school fees. To the extent that staff salary increases place pieBure on fees, 1 make no opology. Our teachers are our greatest asset. and deserve to be paid in accordance with market conditions.

In January. the construction of the Sports and Art Centre commenced. In addition. the two houses owned by the School on Onung Road were r demolished. and multi-purpose tennis courts constructed. The Sports and Art

term fixed rate loan from the Catholic Development Fund. Principal and interest payments for this loan will come from the newly created surplus from the extinguishment of debt that Was :1 legacy of the Junior School building programille of the early 1990%. The careful financial analyxi and budgeting the School did fur this

preject was predicated on a certain level of voluntary contributions from the School community, 1 urge families to contribute to the degree that each can. Completion of the Sports and Art Centre is due in May 2002. at which time the School Itimily will have a magnificent asset. an asset that will be pivotal in School community life for generations to come.

A subbtantial effort was also expended in 200] in establishing the Early Learning Centre at St Peer's Toorak, which will be run in partnership with St Kevin's College. Enrolments for 2002 are encouraging. While this represents only a small expansion fur the School in terms of enrolments. it is *niticant in the sense of being C

Year 12 Essay Runner-Up - Katherine Senior "UK UP AND AWAY..."

Statement of intention:

1 remember. two years ago, my beautiful, wonderful friend, Joan, and I were on the tram on the way home from a Vocal Ensemble rehearsal, and she asked me to read her English folio piece. a very personal piece. She made me feel *so special. so

important then. It seemed a fitting tribute to dedicate my own English folio piece to Joanie. to how special and important she With and to how her deathaffected [ne. changed my perceptions of life and death.

This piece would be appreciated by anyone who has lost someone close to them and/or wondered where we go when we die.

"May the choirs of angels, come to greet you, may they lead you to paradise.

May the Lord enfold yoll. in his mercy; May he give you eternal life..."

I sang this between %011%. surrounded by other sobbing choristers in the choir lott at the back of the church. high above the rev of the congiegation. We certainly were no choir of angels: angels are calm. sweet and composed. and we were %11(,tty-11(,Med. puffy-faced and absolutely shattered. But I prayed that there was a choir o f angels to 1 i ft Joallie up. up and away to a beautiful place. where she would sing with the angels too. And I lion't pray mile·11.

Joiln wax lily friend. my idol, and her death forced me to confront my fuar: tliat there is no after life. Id never believed that there was any existence after the one short Chance we humans get. I'd been well indoctrinated iii Catholic theories of heaven. hell and the enigmatic purgatory: 1.d ti'ied on Buddhist theories of reincarnation. being born over and over again but losing the wisdom of your past li\es. losing the very memory of your human experience: but a student of three sciences. A hard to believe that there could be any continmng state of consciousnexs or cerebml fulletion once the electric:il activity iii the bram ceases. But Joanie hall such an immense and wonderful spirit - I did not want to think of it .just lizzling away in an electrical blackout, like water diN:lppearing into dry oil. I was even sure I felt her presence one time not long after she died. unfolding me in a ,sweet. calming

Manket of love as I cried alone ill the dark fur her. I slispect she spent weeks making these sorts Of visitation - there were Mo many people who loved her and would feel her loss for a long time. probably still do.

So if I 11:td :tnecdotai evidence that life does not just end iii death, where. the cienti>,t in me a,ked, does our spirit go at the end of lila nfe?

[Ile Cel# thought 111:11 when you died in this world. you were born in the Otherworld. the home of the Gods. a beautiful.

wonderful. better place. Thati why the Iri>,h hold wakes - not to mourn your death in thM world, but to celebrate your birth iii the Otherworid (if you're going to believe in a world where your gods live. I suppose it's wise not to imply that it'x it sad thing to be going there). The African-Ametican slaves latched onto Christianity, because it promised a beautiful. wonderful, better place, an entire kingdom. at the end of their miserable lives: it gave them hope. But I find no hope in these povibilities. oilly Nliblects 1-Air interesting unthropologic,71 Mlidies.

IG a little embarrassing for an intellectual snob like myself. but I think it is in this hypothesis that 11(lund not only hope. but credibility, There are theories that all hunians' minds are connected at some deep, cleep. slibcotixiouN level,

that we are part of a huge electromagnetic collective - maybe there really is no such thing as an original thought und every Iliought you have has been thought. ix being thought and will be thought by every other |111111:111 ever: maybe there M no xiii·11 thing as independent u ill. only the will of the collective and we .iii,t don't know it - 1 :11%0 lound comfurt in it. Now I could think of the electricity in .loan'% brain dissipating away, and it did not hurt like it had before, because 1 knew that it was not leaking into the ground as conventional electricity does. it seeped mto immense and infinite electromagnetic field that runs through the deepest levels of our minds.

We can sing like we need to. like angels.

When I die. it will be like sinking into a dream. Joallie will be waiting fur me. I know it. and it will be like we have wings. It'11 feel like we're soaring like bit-ds, brought up by the infinite, exquisite joy of the human experience. up. up and away... to sing with the anizels.
