Grom ihe Principaf Schools are busy places! Wherever one has the experience of being around, and working with young people each day, energy levels are high and outlooks are optimistic. It is a privilege to be 2 part of their growth and development, and more than that, educators find it a joy!

Not only are Schools busy places, they are places where the extraordinary happens every single day. This Annual publication captures only some of the wonderful achievements and

accomplishments of the students of Loreto Mandeville Hall Tool-ak.

¢*

I know that as you peruse the record of the 2010 School year, you

will appreciate anew all that has been achieved. We share with pride this rich, varied and exciting collage of the year!

2010 has been another interesting year of development at Loreto Toorak, bringing with it significant consultation and change at the level of National Curriculum development and implementation, assessment and reporting, and also at School level, a year of change

in planning for future curriculum offerings and pastoral care structures. We were delighted to open our new Year 6 Centre in Junior School earlier in the year, and now present to our students state-of-the-art classroom spaces and flexible learning environments.

With the opening of the new classroom facilities in Junior School, the former Multi Purpose Room was refurbished, blessed and named the SrToni Matha Hall, in honour of St-Toni Matha AM

ibvm, former Director of Junior School and current member of the

Development Committee of School Council.

sense of belonging, is the reality that our students are proud to be Loreto girls. A great part of building this spirit within our student body is their education of where we, at Loreto Toorak, sit, in the

bigger Loreto picture. We are a part of a world-wide Loreto, an international perspective of education, and of work for justice and for others.

TOr tbusan 6*euens 2 · Loreto year ofVerity

Captains of School 2010 was to raise funds in order to sponsor severa| teachers' scholarships in the name of Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak, for young women in particular.While the Year 12s dressed up as hippies, we collectively raised over $15 000 from our intra-school fete, a result of which

we are extremely proud, and we are very grateful to all those who contributed. Every student who participated and dug into

their pocl<ets for Feast Day was part of an amazing achievement,

demonstrating the strength, passion and generosity of our united student body.

When reminding ourselves of what the previous School Captains had written in the Year Books, we became immersed in the extraordinary memories Loreto had given us.We recalled the various PAF costumes we have worn, from a zombie to a wall, remembered the

many Athletics and Swimming carnivals at which we lost our voices, and reminisced about our first day at Loreto, and everything which had occurred since then: theYear 7 Record Night,Year 8 Camp,Year 9 Rooftop,Year 10 Dancing Classes andYear 11 CLC and Formal.We have both been involved in many aspects of school life throughout our time here, including GSV sport, choir, debating, stage crew and social justice activities like Epworth Ministry and Friday Night School, and during this year, we have encouraged all the girls to do likewise, for it has immensely enriched our lives: we look back on those hours spent rehearsing, practising and training with fondness.

The girls in Junior School were also fortunate to have their grandparents and special friends visit them in their classrooms.The

grandparents and special friends participated in a variety of school activities giving them an insight into the girls' school life. It was an enjoyable morning had by all.

On Thursday 2 September Junior School Fathers joined their daughters for breakfast in SrToni Matha Hall. Dads then visited classrooms and participated in a variety of activities from sport to

College Toorak, the Year 9 students participated in the Collaborative Program, a learning experience with the focus on team building.

The wide variety of curriculum offerings this year gave the program flexibility and our girls enjoyed the creative approach to curriculum

in this coeducational setting. Master Chef even managed to infiltrate the program, with a very successful offering having 10 teams of students plan, buy and cook a menu from scratch.The pastoral program has focused on self image, self esteem, stress and mental health issues, with guest speakers from organisations such as the City of Stonnington. In Term 4, students were involved in training sessions to become student leaders as Big Sisters for the incomingYear 7 201 I cohort.They have completed a year of significant learning across a broad academic spectrum, and are to be commended on their achievements.

Our Pastoral Care focus in Year 12 is primarily to support the senior students of the school throughout their final year of VCE. The particular needs ofYear 12 students in the areas of personal organisation and time management, tertiary and career- planning, study skills and preparation for examinations are all part of the pastoral program.As well, attention is given to enabling students

to further develop skills in resilience, decision making and stress management so that they may be able and ready to cope with the challenges that they will encounter in the world outside the school gates. In 2010, from the Year 12 Retreat at Phillip Island in February, through the Performing Arts Festival,Athletics Carnival, drama productions, ensemble and individual musical performances, careers briefings, DAV debating, sporting teams, music concerts, Happy Week, Feast Day and the VCE Art Show, to name some significant moments, the Year 12s have shown commitment in all their fields

Year 10

Year 10 is the beginning of the journey on the VCE pathway and as a School we expect our students to take more responsibility for their learning and where it may lead them.This can be a challenge for many Year 10 students, and the pastoral program at this level aims to increase each student's sense of ownership of her own learning, as well as informing her of choices she will make as she progresses

Religious Education Preparatory -Year 6 Eucharist

On Sunday 23 May students from Years 4 and 5 made their First Holy Communion in the Chapel of Christ the King. We were fortunate to have Father Philip Malone celebrate Mass for us.The Chapel looked beautiful, particularly with the first communicants in their lovely dresses.

To assist the girls in their preparation for receiving the Eucharist for the first time, we held a retreat day.The girls participated in various activities including making bread, and then we shared lunch together.

We would like to congratulate each girl who received communion for the first time, for their thorough preparation and prayerful participation on the day.We hope that this important step in your

The Works of Justice program is an integral part of our school life.

As a Loreto community we are committed to the ongoing quest to become'seekers of truth and doers of justice' in the footsteps

of MaryWard.As such we seek to provide opportunities for our students to examine situations of injustice, to reflect upon their response and then to take action, in ways both big and small.We

place an emphasis on both fund-raising and awareness-raising in our programs, and focus on issues and groups both locally, nationally and internationally.An important priority for us is our ongoing connection to and support of the work of Mary Ward International Australia, the key body for development projects auspiced by the Loreto sisters worldwide.

On Tuesday 23 March students from Years 3 and 4 received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time, in the Chapel of Christ the King. Father Brendan Hayes and Father Gerard Dowling officiated

at this celebration. In preparing for this Sacrament, we focussed on the parable of Zaccheus, highlighting the importance of forgiveness.

Each student wrote a prayer which was displayed while the girls received Reconciliation.

Social Justice ELC

The essence of social justice is intrinsic within everyday moments at the ELC.The children are constantly immersed and involved in

an environment which consistently promotes, acknowledges and reinforces the recognition of the rights and respect for others. Miss Lindy and Miss Robyn, the Kindergarten program educators with the three to four year olds and Miss Caryn, Miss Zoe and Miss Desy, the

support of self, each other and also of the adults with whom they share their time.The children gather for daily prayer in both rooms,

which acknowledges the traditional owners of the land and is lead by the "special helper" of the day.

Discussion of events in the wider world also encourages the children to think outside their own immediate self, family and community, developing an awareness of thinking and caring for others less fortunate than oneself.This year, money from the Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day stalls was directed to specific projects run by the Alola Foundation and Loreto Sisters in Timor Leste.

Preparatory - Year 6

A number of highlights in theWorks of justice program this year included the Years 5 and 6 students' contribution to Feast Day with their stalls of Fathers' Day gifts, jewellery and nail painting, along with a couple of raffles.The Social Justice Leaders and Arts Leaders also represented Loreto Toorak at the Xavier Maytime Fair with their badges and hat stall.All Junior Students have continued in their fundraising efforts to support our PLAN Australia child, and the many Top: Learning about St Peter in the El.C Right: Big Sister Little Sister lunch LORETO Mandeville Hall Toorak 2010

of the research process undertaken in many areas of the curriculum.

This year, the LRC team has been working closely with students to

ensure they are equipped with the skills necessary for success in this area, whether they are accessing printed or online information.

Effective internet searching is always challenging.We have found that

initially students need assistance in clarifying what information they need to locate.This includes identifying key words and synonyms to use in the search process.We work with students in ensuring that the information they select has authority, accuracy and currency. Of course, the majority of these skills are also important when using print resources.

Effective note taking is a difficult but essential skill for students to acquire.As well as increasing their understanding of the information,

r,

it reduces the possibility of plagiarism.We have been working closely with students to assist them in developing these skills.

Compiling bibliographies is a requirement for most research tasks.To assist students, the LRC team has designed a comprehensive guide which is available on MyLoreto.We have done considerable work on this with individual students and class groups.

Undoubtedly, the girls responded to these young coaches and the

The season began with a training session given by experienced

debaters from Melbourne University Debaters Society (MUDS). As always, interest was high as these university students refreshed the girls' memories on such details as secret topics, the importance of keeping abreast of current affairs, and how to approach the argument.

As the season at Scotch progressed, it was clear that, while the teams

did not win every debate, they were certainly learning from each new encounter. Once again, it was gratifying to see so many Loreto names on the Best Speaker lists each week.

popular event.And, in English Week, the traditional Great Debate was held against Scotch College on the topic,"ThatVampires are better than werewolves."

Mornane's play (Drama Captain, Christine Butcher), 70008CTO 20/OAD, Cavemen in the 8ig City, presented the audience with two time travelling cave men who find themselves unexpectedly propelled into our society and struggle to return to their own time.

and Moli6re's, Tartuffe were performed for a small yet intimate audience in the magnificent rooms of our mansion, Mandeville Hall.

This was a VCE performance debut for the girls undertaking Theatre

Studies.They did a superb job of presenting these two complex and demanding playscripts in performance, keeping their audience captivated and engaged to the text and narratives.The setting of the rooms in the mansion, with the historical furnishings and wooden panelling, evoked a beautiful atmosphere which complimented and

enhanced the girls' performances,We applaud the students' fine efforts and thank their teacher Ms Tamara Kuldin for her work which

culminated in such a delightful evening for all concerned.

The 201 0 Year 12 Production is a very important event in the Drama

calendar.This year theVCETheatre Studies students prepared and presented The insect Play.This is a most unusual play that equates the behaviour in the insect world to that of humans. So, the Dung Beatle with his pile of "precious "dung becomes a Capitalist and the

Parasite becomes a criminal, preying mercilessly on the other insects.

The narrative provides the audience with some very interesting parallels and insights into the human world.The Year 12 Theatre

Studies students took responsibility for all the stagecraft areas (costume, lighting, makeup, multimedia, publicity, props, set, sound and stage management).The girls also acted, sometimes portraying a few characters each.This was a fabulous play captivating the audience and providing them with a provoking but very entertaining show.

Congratulations to the Year 12 girls for their beautifully crafted work and to their teacher/director Mrs Kym Maclean for her superb realisation of this play in performance.

Mr Peter Robert (Head of Drama, Xavier College) made a very quirky decision with regard to this year's Winter Play and selected a great favourite of children and adults, The Wind jn the Wi#ows.The show involved a large cast of our most talented and skilful senior girls and boys. It was absolutely delightful; very witty, cute and wildly ridiculous.The student actors captured the animal characters to perfection, portraying their individual idiosyncrasies with flair and humour.The set was magnificent, featuring tunnels, trapdoors and a real river and river bank! The whole production was very amusing and entertaining.The students are to be congratulated on their wonderful ensemble work and individual acting. Heartfelt thanks to Peter for his clever and imaginative direction of the boys and girls.

The music year began with the Performing Arts Festival which again saw great performance from all four houses. Much musical preparation had already taken place before Term One had commenced with Performing Arts Festival Choral and Instrumental Captains participating in conducting and composing/arranging workshops towards the end of 2009.These workshops are now a regular addition to Performing Arts Festival preparations and again were taken by two leading Melbourne conductors and arrangers - Mark Puddy and Sonja Horbelt. Over the two week rehearsal period in February the Music Captains managed all

GSV Celebrates I OYears

This year Girls' SportVictoria Inc (GSV) celebrated 10 years of girls sport. GSV was formed to create a uniform entity through which girls' sport in GSV participating schools could be supported, conducted, promoted and administered.

The development of the GSV sport program has proved exciting. A most rewarding element of the project has been the collaboration

facilities remain the challenge of not only school sport, but also that

At the Early Learning Centre the children engage in a range of

activities that develop their large muscle/gross motor skills, both informally/ unstructured as well as structured. The beautiful outdoor environment has planned activities that involve the children utilising their skills of balance, coordination, climbing, walking, running, crawling, jumping, hopping, skipping and learning to control their body in space. Ball skills such as throwing, catching, bouncing, 1<icking and dribbling are also included in the program. By revisiting these opportunities on a daily basis the children's confidence and persistence is also encouraged and developed. As the year progresses, staff alter the experiences to challenge and extend the children's skills in all these areas. Specialist time encourages specific focus on these skills and the use of appropriate language which further encourages the children progress.

of sport within society. During the formative years of GSV, as the potential of the new program unfolds, what matters most is the girls, the striving, the participation, the journey and the experience.

Fundamental to the GSV project has been the shared passion to

develop and promote a program igniting a spirit and interest amongst students to be actively and regularly involved in sport. GSV is to assist our young people with the development of skills and healthy attitudes towards involvement in physical activity and sport so that a pattern of physical activity is maintained throughout their lives, health is promoted and self worth enhanced.

Sports Camps

Over 150 girls were involved in the Term I junior clinics including tennis, softball, swimming and diving.The clinics enabled coaches to LORETO Mandeville Hall 20 10*29

Aerobics and Specialist Dance It was another year of wonderful results for the Aerobics and

Specialist Dance Club.The Sport Aerobics teams competed in 5 State events with many of the teams qualifying for the Australian Championships in October.With many new students in the club we

had some incredible results from new and experienced members.

the club for 7 to 8 years and have managed to balance their studies and training so well.

This year the Specialist Dance Program had one team made up of Years 7 to 12 students which competed in five State events.The team

qualified for the Australian Championships and performed their high intensity dance routine for a large Melbourne crowd. The calibre of dance teams keeps improving each year and the Loreto girls are providing some fantastic competition in the Gymnastics Australia events.

Athletics

Once again it was a very cold start to the Athletics season with the early mornings testing the teams' commitment.To commence the season the 70 team members participated in the annual Athletics clinic.To further consolidate the team all members were given a team drink bottle by the current:Athletics captains Siobhan Stagg and Clare Daly.The fantastic results in both track and field events at the Preliminary Carnival saw Loreto Toorak through to the Division 1 Championship Carnival at Olympic Park.This meant that Loreto was ranked in the top 8 schools for GSV Athletics.There were some

excellent performances during the twilight Championship Carnival with our team finishing a credible seventh.The junior girls performed

exceptionally well to finish in 5th position in the Championship Carnival. Following this, 27 girls were invited to participate in the GSV Finals Night as they recorded results in the top ten amongst

all GSV schools that competed in the championship carnivals. It was an outstanding effort with Loreto Toorak coming home with 4

gold medals, 4 silver medals and 3 bronze medals to top off a very successful season.

Badminton

Badminton numbers increased slightly this year with the promotional posters displayed around the school increasing the profile of the sport.The juniors refined their badminton skills throughout the season with the support and coaching from captains DanQing Shi and Catherine Lucas.

Basketball

The popularity of basketball continues to go from strength to strength with Loreto Toorak entering 12 teams into the competition.

The season started with a basketball clinic in which the members of

the junior team participated in a selections and trials afternoon.

Cross Country

With Term 2 comes the Cross Country season, and on the streets 4

around Toorak and The Tan you can see the squad of Loreto girls building their speed and endurance. The team of 90 girls worked hard to build on their fitness for both the Preliminary Carnival and Championship Cross Country Carnival hosted at Bundoora.

Garewelf Bouise J eyion From the Director of Junior

School Louise Peyton Thank you for the decade.

As I sit to create my final Loreto Mandeville Hall magazine reflection, numerous memories flood my mind. I had the opportunity to write about and pay tribute to the wonderful Catherine Sim earlier in the year, but the time to write my own final piece has crept up on me.

I began working at Loreto in January 2001. My attention had been drawn to the advertisement in the newspaper by a then parent and ongoing Primary Principal with whom I was working at the time. My prior knowledge of Loreto was nil, however I knew of Mandeville

from school sporting days! Fortunately, this terminology has been clarified over the decade, and now hopefully everyone is clear about the name Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak. I am indeed proud to have been affiliated with Loreto for ten years.

Advice I had received prior to starting in the position of Deputy Principal- Director of Junior School, was that I should not even consider implementing any change in the first six months.That sounded fair at the time, however I was to arrive to find all junior

School students wearing runners for the duration of the day, and all wearing 'pinnies'.The explanation for students wearing runners all day was that it was safer - even if it did eventuate in considerable smell

by mid-afternoon on those hot Melbourne days! We soon decided

that the wearing of runners could be optional, and it has remained that way to this day.The wearing of the pinny was a different matter!

Initially, 1 thought that I had missed something, as I had always

thrown my daughters' uniforms in the washing machine. 1 checked this out with a number of uniform suppliers and was assured that my actions were quite sound! Perhaps we were maintaining this practice to learn the students' names? Surely not - I was more than happy to whip up a couple of hundred badges. Maybe k just looked

cute? Well, that certainly would not do. From that point on, Loreto Women in Training were to be released from the pinny! While I had considerable objection from some parents, 1 imagine I won many

hearts in the form of junior School students.And, 1 still manage to learn every student's name!

In the constantly changing field of education, it was not possible to sit still for too long without implementing change. 1 believe the changes that have been implemented during my time at Loreto have been positive, and I know for certain that they have all been with the good of the students forefront of our minds.

I spent time in the Kimberley region of Western Australia during holidays in 2007, including a terrific visit to Djarrandin School, Lombardina. Coincidentally, I was taken into the library during this visit only to find a Loreto crest being proudly displayed on the windowsill.

I learned from the Principal that one of the Loreto Sisters and her brother had been sponsoring the Reading Recovery teacher in the school for many years.This was a fabulous supportto the staff, students and families in this remote community.

During 2009 we celebrated 400 years of Loreto education worldwide - and I was keen to find out how others were celebrating! 1 chaired the committee of Loreto Sisters and Past Pupils who instigated the Mary Ward Backpack and journal idea. Through this committee, a leather backpack (possibly akin to one carried by Mary Ward?) "arrived" by boat and travelled to many Loreto communities and locations of past Loreto communities around Australia. Many people connected with Loreto contributed to the journal through writing and drawings highlighting the many and varied ways in which they were celebrating 400 years. In October, the backpack and journal travelled to Rome for the international celebrations. I was also the Loreto

Toorak rep on LSAC (Loreto Schools Australia Committee)so had plenty of opportunities to join in Australian celebrations in all States.

During my long service leave in 2009,1 returned to Lima, Peru to work with the Sisters for a month setting up a library in the Loreto Fe Y Allegria school in jicamarca. During this time I was thrilled to have the opportunity to join in Fiestadanza - a huge celebration of dancing, singing and food!

During my ten years, 1 have had the absolute privilege of visiting a number of Loreto communities and have worked with the Sisters

in different capacities. In 2005,1 travelled to Mauritius to make

connections with our Sister-schools in Curepipe and Quatre Bourne, also on that trip I visited York and spent some time with Mother

Gregory in the Bar Convent. I then travelled to Peru and that was

the first time I witnessed the wonderful work being done by Sisters

To the young women for whom I've had responsibility over my time at

Loreto, thank you for inspiring me, keeping me on my toes, giving me hours of laughter and joy. 1 pray that in your leadership of our future world, you will maintain contact with the Loreto community and that

you will consider all people in the decisions you make. 1 pray also that you will find felicity and bring felicity to the lives of others.

In both 2006 and 2008 I had the opportunity to accompany the Year 1 I pilgrims as we worked in a Ho Chi Minh City orphanage for the period just prior to Christmas. It was indeed a thrill to spend time with Sisters Trish, Marg and Marg during those pilgrimages. It was also my introduction to south-east Asia, an area I visited again in 2009 whilst on

I have worked with some wonderful people during my time at: Loreto, many with whom I will miss having daily contact. I have learned so

much about learning, thinking, education, challenge, myself, emotional intelligence, tipping points, the place of Loreto worldwide, respect,

9as foraf Religious Education and Liturgy As I write this year, the whole ofAustralia, has welcomed a new Saint into our midst; Melbourne's own Mary MacKillop, who will be known as St Mary of the Cross.

Around the country people have celebrated this extraordinary moment in our history, filling our grand Cathedrals and our

humblest of parish churches alike with joyful celebrations. In Melbourne, a group of ourYear 11 girls, accompanied by Mrs Catrina O'Leary and myself, walked in a procession of Catholic school students and staff, as well as representatives from Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese.We walked from the Australian Catholic University, after the foundation stone of a new Chapel dedicated to St Mary of the Cross had been blessed by Bishop Peter Elliot.The Chapel will occupy a site directly opposite the birthplace of Mary MacKillop in Bruswick Street, Fitzroy The procession moved along Gertrude Street to the Royal Exhibition Gardens, where a welcome and speeches by dignitaries were heard. It was both exciting and a privilege for Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak to be present at this historic occasion.

6 &1

For those associated with the Loreto schools of Australia, Mary MacKillop has a unique connection. Indeed, the Archive of the Ausralian Province of the Loreto Sisters has, in its possession, letters sent by Mary MacKillop to Mother Gonzaga Barry. As contemporaries they gave each other hospitality when they were travelling about the country. Gonzaga Barry's diary for 19 August 189 I records a visit to Mary's Mount, Ballarat by Mary MacKillop.

MacKillop suggested the Sisters set up a foundation in North Sydney and a January 1892 letter discusses Gonzaga Barry's visit to Sydney to establish Loreto Kirribili.

Mary MacKillop also

encouraged the Loreto Sisters to set up a school in Adelaide and so Loreto Marryatville was established in 1905. Gonzaga Barry was indeed prophetic when she described MacKillop thus,"I look upon Mother Mary as a saint, and I hope she will be the first Australianborn saint canonized." These women were great educators of young women andleaders of their respective congregations.

Throughout the year our youngest students through to our Year 12s

11,4

have contributed to the prayer life of the School and participated in so many ways to the various liturgies that mari< the School and church year. We have been blessed to see ourYear 3 and Year 4 students move into a deeper relationship with God and the faith community through their celebrations of the sacraments of

0/7

Reconcilation and Eucharist.A number of our girls have celebrated the sacrament of Confrimation in parishes around Melbourne also.

Across the School, parents and daughters have celebrated Eucharist together at the Father and Daughter Masses.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our Year 12 Liturgy Councillors, Clare Daly and Oriana Kinsey.They have provided exemplary leadership in this important portfolio.

Both have led the school in prayer at General Assemblies and were

the instigators of"Ignatian Fridays", which provided opportunities for girls in the Senior School to participate in prayer, meditation and Yoga at lunchtime on Fridays.Thank you Clare and Oriana, both for your support of me and the thought, energy and enthusiasm you have given to your role as Liturgy Councillors.

of the most important things in life is learning about the seasons, the rhythms of nature that surround us, why the

environment changes, what happens when it does, and how it affects us as human beings.We need to teach our children how to listen to Mother Nature breathing, because whether we like it or not, we're part of the ecosystem. And we need

to tread lightly and respect our environment, because every time Mother Nature breathes out we breathe in.The more our children understand about our connection to the earth

and its natural rhythms, the better equipped they'll be for the future.

Kids' bodies are 70% water, so the moon affects their moods,

just like it pulls the ocean tides. As the seasons change, temperature and humidity go up or down and the sun shines or our bodies for more or less of the day. All of these things affect us in different ways. If we can help our kids to understand why the leaves are falling, why the creatures are hibernating and why the flowers are blooming, then they'll become more interested in their surroundings, and more conscious of the environment as a whole.

Our Preparatory to Year 2 students have developed their data manipulation, using software such as 'Kid Pix' and '2Simple'.They have worked with subject specific software to reinforce concepts taught and have been enthusiastic about Intrepica which is designed to develop their literacy skills.The Preparatory to Year 2 Soft Toy Project (see page 65) was introduced this year. Each class adopted a soft toy to encourage students to regularly access MyLoreto and build confidence in using this resource.

We would like to thank Dr Stevens, Madame Tranquille and all the relevant teachers for organizing this wonderful exchange between Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague and Loreto Mandeville Hall.

This exchange has shown us a lot of differences between our school system and the Australian one, and it has permitted us to understand the good things about each of them.

In Australia, every student with a laptop can do everything on it: exercises, learn their lessons, research informations, etc.

Another very important difference is the uniform: every school has it own uniform.When you walk in the street you know straightaway where a teenager goes to school.That helps us introduce the third important difference: boys and girls don't go to the same schools, which seems very weird to us French students.

Apart from those differences we have also seen a lot of similarities between our'Aussie' friends and our'Frenchie' friends.

We all like to do the same things during our free time: going out with friends, going to movies, do shopping, etc. And we also have the same education, and by the same education we mean the way we behave in our everyday life.

Finally, we would like to thank you all for having us at your school and at home, for showing us the real life of an Australian teenager, and last but not least, for being such good friends.You were so welcoming, outgoing and you were all willing to make this exchange the best of our life.We will miss all of you a lot, and we are very excited to have Annabel, Catherine, Mary,Tilly and Anna in Paris!

performances from a staff group and guests from Scotch College.

This was a wonderful way to spend a spring lunchtime outside under Winnie'sWing to finish the term.

The Annual Music Concert"Listen to our Music" took place at the beginning ofTerm 3. At the new venue of MelbourneTown Hall girls from Preparatory to Year 12 performed music from a wide range of genres to an appreciative audience. The night was a great success concluding with the Finale, a gospel style song "Listen to the Music" featuring girls from Years 5 to 12 singing on stage and the side stalls creating an exciting atmosphere to close the concert.

School Pianist's Report 2010 has been an outstanding year for our pianists.There was a high level of participation in Lunchtime Concerts and Oak Parlour Recitals and it was impressive to see the girls contributing to music at Loreto Toorak by accompanying music ensembles.

Our sixth annual Celebration of the Piano concert was held in April, which showcased the talent of our pianists from Year 4 to Year 12. From solo to eight hand works, ranging from Chopin and Liszt through to Scott joplin, it was a memorable night. In late August, many senior pianists tool< part in a master class with Mark Kruger who offered much encouragement and valuable advice on technique and expressiveness.

Towards the end of Term 3 I was given the opportunity with Ye Hua He (Year l l ) to record two piano pieces from our end-of-year Music Performance recital programs, as a result of an invitation from radio station 3MBS 103.5 FM.These were broadcast in October this year.This was a great new experience for Loreto VCE pianists.

I'd like to congratulate all the girls for their efforts and hard work this year. Our gratitude also to the girls' piano teachers for their ongoing support, and especially to our Head of Keyboard, Mi-s Anne Elliot and our Director of Music, Miss Mary O'Driscoll, for their continual dedication and encouragement of our pianists.

breatioe burilin An Ode to Burke and Wills We're

off

to

this great unknown country of ours explore In an

land

I 'm a little worried because nothing's planned -

150 years ago

We've packed too much, it's going to go wrong,

A competition was held and --.

I don't know why we need a tub and a gong.

A party of men set out to race their foe

My name is King I'm just an assistant

Their names were Burke and Wills

44;

---1.

It's not much but I am persistent.

From South to North they went

Burke's the leader of this race, I know he'll lead us at a very fast pace.

To explore the country more So communication could be sent

I'm sure we'll make history, dead or alive

I want to get there but I doubt we'll survive.

Burke was their leader - he made that quite clear

We've almost reached Cooper's Creek; everyone is growing very weak.

His figure was imposing and strong He led all his men and made all the rules

On the journey that was so long

This expedition has shown no mercy I was hungry, tired and oh, so thirsty.

$.I

=:,

They travelled by horses, camels and walked

I was ready to die when Burke chose me for the dash,

I had to do it: 1 needed the cash. P

--- It was Burke,Wills, myself and Gray

- Until many of them became very weak They stopped for a break and left behind most men

who left on that very fine day.

Only four people departed Cooper's Creek

We were going to be the ones at the bight,

Burke,Wills, King and Gray

Finally things were going right!

Left Cooper's Creek heading North In charge they left behind Brahe

By day and by night they travelled forth

But they were dropping like flies at Cooper's Creek Things were looking very bleak.

Soon after that, Gray passed away,

Burke told Brahe,"Wait three months no more"

To bury him it took a day.

"Our journey should be done by then" he thought

Wills secretly told Brahe to wait four months The expedition was bound to be fraught

- The flicker of hope in my heart had been snuffed No longer did I feel very chuffed.

Burke and Wills perished too,

Not enough water. Not enough tbod. Slow; sick; exhausted. ./

I was all alone; 1 didn't know what to do.

Gray dies. His friends take a day to bury him.

The Aborigines took me into their care

Burke,Wills and King stagger into Cooper's Creek

And until the search party arrived, 1 stayed there.

Alas, Brahe and his party had left that very morning

On the 15'11 of June, I was found,

By a matter of hours they missed them

Finally I was homeward bound.

They could send no advance warning

The expedition had made me weak

Brahe buried food and a message

I was so exhausted I could barely speak.

Under the famous "DIG" tree, no less

But controversy rose about,

Desperate, devastated, disconsolate

Whose fault it was, everyone was in doubt.

They headed for Mt Hopeless

I told them the story, just as I have told you

King survived months alone

Every detail was absolutely true.

Living with the Aborigines

The story will be told again and again,

They cared for him and nursed him

*0, The story of an expedition with far too many men.

tbpori Captain of Sport Report ¢74?

On any given afternoon, the corridor in between the Patricia Schafer

Sports Hall and the Gymnasium is chaotic with junior students in their blue leotards among aerobics girls, swimmers, softballers, soccer

players, divers, cross country runners and footballers.The list is endless! This lively and exciting atmosphere is indicative of Loreto's enthusiastic involvement and success in the sporting arena. 1 often have an argument with my brothers who seem to believe that girls' sports are typically easier and much less serious than boys' sports.

However, I am convinced that if my brothers were to witness our girls in action, (in particular, the rowers, and of course the water polo team) their views would be transformed. Indeed, the world of sport at Loreto Toorak is both a competitive and an exciting field, with numerous opportunities for all students.

It has been a truly invigorating experience to represent Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak as the Captain of Sport for 2010.This year was of particular significance, celebrating ten years of Girls Sports Victoria (GSV) which commenced with the annual Sports Captains' breakfast, held at Ruyton.There I met with various captains from all GSV schools and heard from Kimberly Crowe, a current Australian Olympic rower who delivered a motivating speech about the importance of sport in her life, and reaching her goals. She encouraged all girls to engage in sport especially at school with the multiple opportunities on offer. Her motto,"Anyhow, any day, just play," is something that I attempted to implement this year, as Sport Captain.

It is exciting to report yet another successful year on behalf of our school in the sporting arena. Placing 3rd and 2'id for swimming ·'eE€r'

and diving respectively at the Preliminary Swimming and Diving

Carnival: cheering for students clothed in red, blue, green and gold as they sprinted down the final stretch of the Duncan McKinnon athletics track in the inter-house carnival: qualifying for the Division

1 Championship Athletics Carnival, placing our athletics team in the top eight of all girls' schools acrossVictoria; hoarding our share

t

of the trophies at the annual Head of School Girls Regatta; passing the occasional blue uniform among tens of thousands at the annual Mothers Day Classic; these are only several of the highlights of 2010.

All competitors are congratulated for their outstanding efforts this year

Of course without the dedication and unwavering passion of Ms Brothwell, our Director of Sport, the faculty of sport at Loreto would certainly not encompass the same energy and vigour that it

has this year I have certainly enjoyed working alongside Ms Brothwell, and I thank her very much for her contribution to the sporting curriculum.

This year has certainly flown past very quickly. It has been a pleasure representing Loreto and I shall truly miss competing in gold and blue.

I encourage all students to actively participate in sport at our school, where we are blessed with outstanding facilities and enthusiastic

sporting staff. I wish the Captains for 201 I the best of luci<,

Siobhan Stagg, Captain of Sport 20/0

opori Athletics The Athletics season commenced late in Term 2, with ninety

enthusiastic girls, turning up for strength and conditioning training.

Term 3 saw the annual athletics clinic take place at Duncan McKinnon. Many of the girls felt extremely sore the following day.

Our continual training and competition at the Personal Best meets paid off when we placed 314 in the Preliminary carnival despite the freezing conditions.This outstanding result took the Loreto Tooral< f

Team into Division 1, ranking them as one of the top eight GSV schools.

From there, twenty-six Loreto Toorak girls were selected to complete in the GSV Finals Evening.This is based on their results from the Division I carnival, having recorded one of the top 10

distances or times out of the whole competition.All girls competed extremely well, with Loreto Toorak taking home four gold medals, four silver medals and two bronze medals.A huge thank you to James Lobley, Mrs jaensch, Mrs Wintle and Ms Howarth for their continual support throughout the term.

Diving

Basketball

the divers were in the Barry Centre ready to spring into the New

This years Basketball season has been really successful, with lots of girls participating from Years 7 - 12.The season began in late Term 3 with the Senior Basketball Tournament, where two teams of senior

girls played a round robin of five games each.The A Team won three out of the five matches, and the BTeam two out of the five.

Neither team made the finals but we all had a good day of team bonding.The junior girls had a great time getting to know each

other and improving their skills and the Intermediate Team was

competitive but unfortunately didn't make finals. Special thanks to the PE staff for all their help and coaching of us throughout the season.

On Wednesday 27 january, two days before the school year began Year. Girls from Years 7 to 12 participated in the diving clinic where

they had an introduction to diving and learnt many new dives.There was a huge turnout for the clinic with many girls quickly advancing through dives.The girls enjoyed this day very much and at 7am on the first Monday morning of school we saw many keen divers ready to commence their first training sessions.The girls practised hard

through these training sessions and all seemed happy to be there despite the fact that it was early on a Monday morning. On 9 january, after only two of these morning sessions, the girls competed in their first PB meet against Lowther Hall. Every girl was able to show off one or more of the dives they had learnt. From this meet there

were then a few select girls chosen to compete for the GSV Diving

Equestrian Loreto Equestrian has gone from strength to strength in 2010.

There were twenty-five girls from both junior and Senior Schools participating in the club. The program consisted of both practical and theoretical sessions held at Balmoral Equestrian Centre. Over

the course of the two terms, the riders learnt about horsemanship, care and health of horses. It was impressive to notice all the girls really developing their knowledge, skills and understanding of their horses. The final session was a competition between the groups,

with final results for the day being: Best Presented - Victoria Poppins

r

i

and Gigi Lennon; Horsemanship - Katerina Hoare and Isolde Beach; Most improved Riders -AmeliaWarwick and Emily Moore.We are thankful for the support of our parents who continued to drive us out to the centre on many cold and rainy Sunday afternoons.We are forever grateful for the ongoing commitment and encouragement given to us by Louise Peyton (Equestrian Coordinator). Over the last eight years she has lead the Equestrian Club and she will be

leaving this role at the end of 2010. Several other riders represented Loreto Toorak at various Interschool Equestrian events. For the first time ever Loreto Toorak entered a team comprised of Caitlyn Barret,Astrid Vinycomb and Alexandra O'Connor who competed on their own horses at the Interschool Showjumping Event hosted by Flinders Christian Community College. Our team placed 17th out of

28 schools which was a commendable effort for Loreto's first outing.

We hope Equestrian continues to grow and all riders gain much from their new experiences.

Some girls then also competed in the Interschool Gymnastics

competition on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 September.These girls are to be congratulated on their efforts and enthusiasm. Prior to this they had training days at the gym at school preparing for this

6pori Hockey Hockey was a popular sport this season at Loreto Toorak with two junior teams, one intermediate team and one senior team setting out to play in the GSV competition.All teams were filled with eager players and the girls thoroughly enjoyed the season.This yean unfortunately

none of the teams made it to the finals but they still managed to play their best and put up a great fight in every match they played.

The season began with a fantastic start; all teams having a great turnout for training and matches and all the girls who participated made a big improvement in the way they played. By the end of the season all were playing proper positional hockey. All teams showed great

determination throughout the season which is a credit to them and to the excellent coaching.

The seniorgirls successfully won half of their matches but were unable

to make it through to the finals. However, their skills were remarkably improved as was their consistency. The intermediate and junior teams had a promising start and stuck it out in a hard season.

It's great to see the girls participating and we hope to see a similar

turn-out next year. Overall it was an enjoyable season and next year looks promising after the successful results for Loreto in 2010. A big thankyou to our coaches; notably Ms Ferdinands, Nathan Ganeson and Ms Brothwell.

in the team for the first competition. On each Friday of the term the girls had to complete an hour training session which worked on their skills and proved to be quite challenging. Over the next few weeks of challenging training we saw great improvements in all the girls' abilities and their confidence in performing.
