Achoof Gaplains 34eport As our years at Loreto draw to a close, we reflect as Year 12s not only upon our educational journey at Loreto Mandeville Hall, but also upon what it means to be Loreto women. A Loreto education encompasses far more than simply learning in the classroom: it provides us with a strong sense of community, passionate beliefs and strong values. As Loreto women, we are inspired to follow in the

footsteps of Mary Ward and achieve our very best in all that we do.

When we walk through the Clendon Road gates each morning, we are reminded of the community and rich Loreto tradition that

we belong to. Throughout the day, the top quad is inevitably filled with laughter as girls chat under the blossom trees, and this year especially, we have come to recognise this joy that is ever present as a sense of felicity. This year, our School theme, *Open your heart to joy, Shine your light upon the world' was written by the

Year 12 leaders to encompass Felicity: the Mary Ward value that was celebrated throughout each Loreto school in Australia in 2011.

Felicity is a value that celebrates the joyful attitude and cheerful disposition of heart that we believe already lies within every Loreto girl. The school theme encourages every girl to be a 'cheerful giver' in the words of Mary Ward and share this joy witli the community, be

it at school, home or further afield. Every single girl from Preparatory to Year 12 has embodied Felicity this year, and words such as

'felicitous' are now commonly used throughout the school: even in the youngest year levels.

This sense of Felicity is also apparent in all areas of our Loreto life: from sport. music and drama, to debating, social justice and leadership, in which we have all had endless opportunities. It is

This Felicity filled week lifted the profile of the value within the school. and was the beginning of many felicitous memories to come. Happy Week and Feast Day late in Term 3, was once again of great importance in celebrating our School Community; year levels across the school participated in daily activities such as Beach Day in the Junior School and the annual Xavier/Loreto Netball Match in the

Senior School. The week culminated, of course, with Feast Day and our annual intra-school fete, though this year we had a special addition to the day; the opening of the newly renovated Glade. Throughout the week, we united together to raise much needed funds for the Lukulu District Baby Milk Program in Zambia, a Mary Ward International

Calfierine 91(aimone Uron)hurst Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.'

This inspirational quote by William Butler provides a suitable challenge to all those who dare to teach and lead in schools today. My return to Loreto Mandeville Hall

as Director of Years P-6 was strongly influenced by my belief in the School's ethos and faith-base that inspires the students to seek challenge, ask questions,

work collaboratively and be active and affective agents of change within the broader community. As a school we seek to provide a variety of opportunities that serve to ignite interest, curiosity and deepen understanding.

This year the girls and their families have engaged in many events that have not only brought us together as community but also offered opportunities to recognise

and celebrate the many gifts and talents of our students. Music concerts, sporting events, family activities, Sacrament and Year level Masses, workshops and guest speakers as well as social gatherings such as the whole School Cocktail Party and the Spring Ball have been memorable Loreto occasions.

l am delighted to be leading the P-6 community, working together as we educate the girls to be inquisitive, well informed, confident and faith-filled women prepared to make a valuable contribution to society and to be citizen's of the 21 st century. Indeed Mary Ward's statement 'Women in time to come will do much' is

Mrs Catherine Maimone Crowhurst

well prepared to 'do much' in the future. I look forward to continuing this learning journey with the girls, their families and the wider Loreto Community,

Preps Visit Dr Stevens

On 5 August the Preps celebrated their first 100 days of school!

The Prep students and Miss Woods have kept a count of the days they have spent at school on a chart in the classroom. There was great excitement when they reached their 100th day! The students participated in many fun activities to celebrate this special occasion. The activities included making a necklace with 100 fruit loops, creating a '100 day' crown and making a special '100 day at school' booklet. The girls' enthusiasm was overwhelming and fun was had by all.

2011 At St Peter's Early Learning Centre So we continued our Vegie garden project and our wonderings

into where this learning journey would lead us in 2011. In Taking Early Childhood Education Outdoors", Elizabeth Dau comments,

"The rationale for environmental education in the early years can be based on two principles. First, children must develop a sense of respect and caring for the natural environment for a sustainable future. Second, positive interactions with the natural environment are an important part of overall child development, and these interactions enhance Ilifelong learning".

Finally the vegie garden has had an interesting twist in the learning experiences provided this year! Something was eating all our vegetables!! The children and staff were perplexed! Almost overnight, the broccoli was decimated, then the lettuce, then strawberry plants and even branches on the apple tree. The

children's initial thoughts of bugs and beetles soon made way for something much bigger! We had evidence down the back of possums... so the children thought a net may keep them away,.. but our new broccoli was eaten even with a net in place, A meeting with the parents one evening had the suggestion of a light or a CCTV cameral So a solar light was purchased,.. and we also received a gift of a 'scare owl' to place in the garden too and see if this made any difference. We are pleased to report that the beetroot now has all its leaves back ard the letuce as well, so

something has made a difference!

Year 9 Collaborative Program - Loreto MasterChef 2011 Ten Loreto Manceville Hall students teamed up with ten St Kevin's

College students to attempt the ultimate Loreto MaslerChef Challenge.

Firstly, students completed a Sensory Analysis Challenge. This required them to use their five senses to analyse and evaluate

certair foods. Stadents developed their food descriptive language.

Students then competed in a Blind Taste Test Challenge. Students

Loreto MasterChef Challenge four was travelling to the Prahran

Market to hunt and gather for any additional ingredients requirea for the production of the meal. This required students to have recipes

and food orders thoroughly prepared and to work to a budget.

Students returned zo Loreto Toorak to compete in the Bake-off Challerge. Students needed to follow safe and hygienic food handling skills apd use tools and equipment with precision and

care. Students worked to a tight time scnedule to prepare, plate, photograph and present their meal forudging. Their meal was to be suitably garnished.

were to identify certain foods that they had not seen that were placea into their mouth by their partner. They were required to

describe the food item according to its taste, texture, aroma and sound. This gave students the chance to apply their descriptive

language.

The third challenge was the Mystery Box Challenge which involved revealing five mystery ingredients to students from wh ch they were to design a two course meal that consists of either an entrae and a dessert or a main and a dessert. Their meal was to contain a suitable

beverage that compleinented their menu. One of the multicultural Intluences on Australian cuisire was to be retlected in their meal and

it was to meet tile Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.

The standard 0 each menu prepared, p ated, garnished and

presented for judgfng was high. Even the judging itself proved to be quite a challenge. Finally, after much del beration, the winning entry was decided. The winner of the Loreto MasterChef 2011 was won by Michelle Ma and Henri Santoro. The winners were each presented with a copy of Loreto Cooks.

Studerts ther enjoyed their meal as part of a buffet style banquet.

To keep the table conversation on a food tteme, students were

challerged to a Lo'eto MasterChef Quiz.

Hunting and gathering in various st'yles is how people of this area have acquired their food for hundreds of years. The Year 10 students went

on a culinary journey reflecting on the changes and developments in the acquisition of food by people of this land

They began by considering the original hunter and gatherers of this land, the aboriginal Wumdjeri-wilan dan of the woi wurrung language group which is part of the Kulin Nation. They then examined how the

four major activities on which Melbourne's economy was founded livestock (rustling), wool (fellmongering), shipping and whaling.

The students then looked at the influence of the gold rush, which brought an influx of people from around the world, including southern China, to this area. By 1900 many unsuccessful Chinese 'diggers' had turned their hand to market gardening at which they were particularly adept,

Students discovered how the need evolved for purpose built structures, to accommodate the demand for the massive quantities of retail goods. They also looked at the influence of corrupt merchants

and unfair trading practices in the sale of fruits and vegetables which led to a Royal Commission to examine the existence of cartels.

Students were introduced to the social developments that sprung from the food industry; the 'Market' football team that competed iii the

Wednesday Football League with the Fire brigade, Police, Post and

Telegraph, Press, Telephone Exchange, Yellow Cabs and Waterside workers.

Students then were exposed to another changed in the hunting and

gathering of food in Melbourne with the impact of World War 11. The immigration of Greek and Italian communities after the war gradually

saw them take over the market gardens from the Chinese. American style food vans began to appear and serve 'fast foods', such as doughnuts, hotdogs, hamburgers, cola and coffee, to satisfy the

burr'iculum Mathematics Week This year Mathematics Week was held in Week 2 of Term 3.

On Monday 1 August, the girls in Preparatory to Year 6 were thoroughly engaged in real-life, hands-on problem solving activities presented by 'World of Maths'.

The students had a wonderful opportunity to explore Mathematics relating to practical and real-life situations.

t

These problems incorporated all areas of Mathematics and the girls were thoroughly engaged counting, measuring, weighing, estimating and visualising. Working collaboratively in small groups fosters discussion and interaction, which has helped to boost their confidence and enjoyment of

Mathematics.

r

Following on from the 'World of Maths' presentation during the day, girls and their families were invited to engage together in the interactive tasks in a 'World of Maths'

afternoon. This proved to be a fun and highly engaging afternoon for all families to work collaboratively and solve

Mathematics problems together, which was fantastic to see.

Later on in the week there was the opportunity for parents and special friends to come and explore the Junior School

for a Mathematics morning. Parents and special friends enjoyed being a part of contemporary Mathematics classes,

r

sharing strategies, working collaboratively and learning together with the girls.

The girls (and teachers!) were very imaginative when coming up with their mathematical costumes for dress-up day.

There were numerous shape and number costumes, as well as dice and calculators; such creative students at Loreto,

well as a collection of odd numbers from the ID team.

Well done to all for a truly imaginative and enjoyable Mathematics week; we're already looking forward to next year!

Jelly Babies Investigation In Year 2 we conducted an investigation to find out all the maths we could from a packet of jelly babies. Some of the questions we asked were:

How long is an average jelly baby? How many are there in a packet? F-low many different colours do we have? How much does each packet weigh? What does a bag of jelly babies weigh the same as?

We learnt that the colours in each packet had different amounts. Some packets had more in them than others and

we learnt that there are five different colours in a packet. The colours are: green, yellow, red, orange and purple. A jelly baby is 3cm long and the width is 1 cm. Millie's foam cup of jelly babies weighed the same as one set of head phones but the weight of one packet of jelly babies weighed the same as Maryrose's pencil case. We discovered it only took eighteen seconds to eat one jelly baby!

Factor Tree Games The Year 6 students designed Factor Trees for students in Prep-2.

The games ranged from trees to cards, from tall to small. The games were very interactive. The girls joined us during two of our Maths lessons in the morning and had a lot of fun while learnjng what a factor is. The Year 6s had a wonderful experience teaching and working with the younger grades in the School.

Some of our games were called: Prep Addition Tree, Factor Match, Shopping Spree Factor Madness, Flower Factors, Fun Factors and Crazy Caterpillars.

The Year 6s are donating their games to the girls for future mathematical learning.

Mandarin

This year Mandarin has been introduced to Years 4,5 and 6 students. As it is a new second language for them, all year levels are covering the same units of work which include greetings, introducing themselves and family members, counting numbers to 100, the day and date as well as things they like in the

target language. The skills of listening, speaking and writing are developed tirough a variety of learning activities such as role

play, use of a blog page, interactive games and oral presentation.

Through reading, music and video students investigate and reflect

on important aspects of the Chinese culture such as Chinese New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. They are able to identify differences between the Australian culture and

whole school after lunch. This was followed by the much awaited parade. One student from each class was interviewed to highlight the diverse and remarkable stories that shape who we are at Loreto Toorak.

Tuesday heralded the musical drama 'Totagy Amazing'. Through song and dance and lots of audience participation the actors brought us on a journey to illustrate hat we all have an interesting story and it is worth stopping once and a while to celebrate it with our loved ones.

Friday's weather was beautiful for our gigantic teddy bear picnic.

The Book Week committee would like to extend a huge thanks to the parents, for assisting with the dress up days, exploring family stories but most of all for sharing vour love of reading with your daughters. Without your support and cooperation an event such as Book Week could not happen. And remember a Loreto girl always carries a book!

The cast of High School Musical worked wilh exceptional cooperation, responsibility and enthusiasm and for my first Loreto Proauction I was amazed at:he talented singers, dancers and actors within our Year 6 cohort. Rehearsals were hectic, limited but exciting and the time, effort and commitment shown from the gitrls was extremely apparent or the performance nights. The girls took wonderful ownership of the production, becoming involved in set design, costume selection and choreographing.

Both nights the girls performed to sell-out crowds 'Soring...Flying,' 'Bopping to the Top,' and 'Getting their Heads in the Game.' St Martin's Youth Theatre in South Yarra was abuzz with singing, dancing, amazing sets and vibrant costumes. Some students found their true talent on stage and everyone worked together to create a performance that was professional, polished, fun and entertaining.

Staff who work tirelessly to support and prepare our musicians, and our Music Administrator Kerry O'Dowd, whose administrative work has been outstanding.

I would especially like to thank all of the Music Students of Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak for their unflinching support and cooperation throughout the year. I am so privileged to have been able to work with such a dedicated and talented group of young women. Finally I would like to thank both the Director of Music Miss Mary O'Driscoll and the Acting Director of Music Ms Catriona Russell for all of their hard work

and support this year.

Throughout my time at Loreto Toorak. Miss O'Drlscoll has been a beacon of passion, dedication and enthusiasm, and her commitment to the music program at Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak is what makes It so incredible. Ms Catriona Russell has ably and effortlessly filled in for Miss O'Driscoll while she has been away, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and to introduce her to music at Loreto Toorak. The support and guidance that these two wonderful women

have given me this year has been incredible.

I wish all the very best to the musicians of Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak for many, many years of music making, and my greatest hope is that they will take advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities they will be offered within the music department. I have had an incredibly enjoyable time as Music Captain, and I will carry the fond memories of this year for the rest of my life.

dport iRepori Sport This year of sport at Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak has been a fantastic one. Through their keen participation and exciting efforts, the girls have achieved some great results and ensured a very successful year of sport. It is needless to say that tnrough the many, many girls getting involved in sport, in both the Inter-house and Inter-School competitions that this year has been a joyful one; the girls were able to put,n their greatest efforts, whilst getting fit and having fun with their friends - all of which contributes to a great year out on the field, pitch, water and court. With girls competing at all levels in a multitude of sports through the GSV and other programs, I can safeli- say that all of us at Loreto Toorak are proud of those girls who have put themselves out there to compete in whatever sport they have chosen, whether it be Gymnastics, Rowing, Netball, Snow Sports, Swimming, Athletics, Cricket or Hockey. Well done girls and keep up the amazing efforts.
