Cy' *©mt tke gp*£11©+C'/1 s we bid farewell to the class of20(12. the words of Mother

Mary Gonzaga Barry that grace the entrance of our beautiful new Sports Centre suminarise our wish for our

graditates. and indeed encapsulate our very Mission as a Catholic School. She said "Do something to ennoble your lives. ,.. and aim at something excellent." To do something noble something good, and to make a dillerence in our world. where so many are without a voice. is the highest

pri

imperative. I am confident that as our students grow iii knowledge. in understanding oftheir faith, and as citizens of Australia. their commitment to something "ennobling", will also grow. And further. let all ofus aim at soniething excellent. This is an ongoing challenge. a serious responsibility.

In this issue of the Mandevilli:in we remember with love Sr Deirdre Rofe ibrm,

former Principal olloreto Mandeville Ha]1 (1979-1988). who died on 16 August 2002. Like Mother Goniaga Barry. Sr Deirdre encouraged her students to strive for excellence. This magaiine. a wonderful representation olthe many and varied endeavours ofour students. is testimony to the fact that from Prep to Year 12. our students are aiming to do their best. to give oftheir best and to work for the best.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE

COUNCIL REPORT (SRC) SEMESTER 2

One of the highlights ofthis semester's SRC activities was the lunchtime Pyjama Party held in the Patricia Shaeffer Centre iii September. It was organised and promoted by the Year 8 SRCs and their Yr 12 Team Leader, Sarah Mizzi with the view to

raising valuable funds for research into Chronic Fatigue

f.rt *11

Syndrome and providing the student body with something fun to do at lunchtime.

Sarah and the Yr 8 SRCs transformed the Patricia Shaeffer

Centre into the ultimate party venue. With lights diiii ined, balloons crowding the floor and Shakira's disco hit, "Whenever," pumping out ofthe speakers, streams of colourfully clad ladies in all sorts of pyjamas entered the room.

The room, the mood, the pyjamas and slippers all combined to create a sort offrenzy and it was only a matter of minutes before Year 7s to 1 2s were sprinting around the room, laughing and squealing in sheer delight and once the limbo sticks were brought out. pyjama-less students stood mournfully at the

windows staring in, their envy obvious. It was Blt}iancts iii Py/'anias meets Lot·e/o Mandeville Hall and it was fantastic!

The party culminated in a one-in-all-in 'dance-off' and the

L

winner was ultimately. dance and 'llannel-couture' on the day.

So, congratulations to the Year 8 SRCs and all SRCs who enabled everyone to have such a great time and all for such a

worthy cause. Thank you to all who helped out on the day and enabled everything to be packed up, all before the bell went for period 4!

VALE YEAR 12 2002

in preparing this retlection fur this evening. I took a long tenyear stroll down memory lane. But while I was trying to be nostalgic, something kept reappearing and cloiiding my thought: the colour blue. So. I created a list oijust a few of the things in our school that are coloured blue: the entire reception area, the A floor classroom, the carpet. linoleum and

pigeonholes in the conimon room. a vast majority ofthe INC and studio. our foundress Mary Ward is represented by blue house. tlie school webpage. the entire theatre stiidies space and basically every piece olsignage in the school, Even we :tre dressed head to toe in the colour blue.

Now. in iny ten years at Lot-eto. 1 had liever once been aware 01 the amount ol blue in the school. and Ih.·e Concluded that this is

most likely because 1 u as part of the giant blue mass. It had never occurred to nie how strange we niay appear to an outsider. With this in mind. I also began to wonder that once outside this environment. when I am no longer part 01 the -blue', what I will remember about this place that has been a second home.

The obvious things came to mind. feast day, the PAF and the transition from Junior School to Senior School. 1 remember

vividly the cold mornings at Richmond station while the Nyle\ clock over my shoulder read a near freeting '3 degrees'. There was 7 Blue's TV memorabilia wail. the first lunchtime in the

414/

common room and that time in Year 5 when 1 fainted in front of

the entire class and which to this day. 1 have not lived down.

But within all these tleeting moments, there were more poignant times. like when our Grade 2 class was taken out to the oval to watch the class of '92 do their muck-up day routine and dancing with my grandfather at the Year 5 ball. 1 remember thinking that I would ne\er be old enough to do Our graduation dance on the oval or that notie ofmy friends would e, er have their face immortalized on the captains honor board iii Mandeville 11711. I never thought I woiild ever being up the

ac e

While the vast landscape of 'things' that happened during <f our school years will be captured in school magazines and ' slide shows. the things I will carry with ine are more vivid

than any photograph or article ofelothing. The way Nat Campbell dances across a stage. Alisoii Spence's etidless smile.

Zani s ability to 'get thejob done'.and tile way.lane Li looks when she's carrying a double bass twice her size across the top quad. No matter what the memory, they are all tainted with /ht// colour - blue.

On a personal note. I would like to thank all my LM 11 teachers for their guidance over the years. In particular, I wish to acknowledge my VCE teachers for their constant dedication and inspiration.

So ten years from now I suppose we'll be back here or at sonic other Mandevill-ish locale reminiscing about the days of yore.

If l'in not there. this is my apology in advance, but no matter where I am, know that I ll have you all in mind and that in the words of Bob Dylan. 1'11 be 'tangled up in blue'.

On 5 August. we welcomed Kaoru Matsuoka and Kei Nat:imoto from

our Japanese sister school, Fukitoka Kaisei Girls' High School. It was their very Iii-st trip overseas. They were very quiet when they arrived. wondering what would happen in tliis foreign country.

The Draycott and Fuller families kindly volunteered to host the Japanese girls for 10 days. There was a language barrier at the beginning of their stay, but the Japanese girls soon learned how to communicate witli their host families iii English. Thanks to the host Families' help, their English greatly improved by the end of tlieir stay.

The girls experienced Australian food. which included Lamb Roast.

Vegemite and Tini Tams. They loved Tim Tams and bought about 10 packs to take home.

During their stay, they attended the lessons with their host sisters and experienced Australian school. They found it difficult to follow the lessons in English. However. they helped the Japanese classes and they

were surprised that we play lots of games in class in Australia. which does not happen often in Japanese schools.

This year. we were transported back to I 6tli Century Italy for our Theatre Studies play, /1 Sen'ant to Two Masters. Written by Carlo Goldoni in 1545. and adapted for the Young Vic Theatre and The Royal Shakespeare Company in London in 1999, by Lee I lall. this play is based on the highly energetic. highly physical and highly comical style oftheatre. Conimedia dell'Arte. To help reach the level of excitement necessary lor making the play a success, we employed the help of live very talented boys from Xavier. Then

we all headed oil' to the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) for lessons in acrobatics. juggling and general circus tricks, as they were vital to the traditional Commedia dell'Arie. We would use these not only in the play itself, but also in the two la//i, which were performed before tlie play, and at interval. These lazzi are very traditional and were scenes based loosely around a plot that was relevant to the people and time of the town. int'used with many physical gags and comical characters.

After many weeks after school. weekend and hi,liday rehearsals, we were ready to perform. From Tuesday 15 to Thursday 17

October. Mandeville Hall was transformed into Catd Goldoni. and looked very Italian indeed! The show' was a success, and it was great for our Theatre Studies class to be able to experience theatre performance in front ofsuch large crowds.

We thank. not only everyone from Xavier for their help. but also everyone from LMil who wei-e involved in our success.

AFL FOOTBALL - LMH PREMIERS! This term 1 participated in the GSV Australian Rules competition. A meniber of the VWFL conducted the sessions: two tennis were iii each group. The lirst half of the session concentrated on ball skills, woven into fun drills and games. LMH

formed a team with PLC girls. 1 noticed the amazing improvement of my fellow team-mates' skills. as each girl became more aware of the rules. The confidence of the girls to tackle and get the ball was displayed more and more each week. I found myself coming out ofgames with renewed confidence atid a thirst for mole football.

After several weeks of drills mid games. the last week ofthe competition was a round robin at Monash University. L.Mli \von all three games to take out the Division 2 cup. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Round Robin, We had a great coach throughout the entire season. who always reminded us just to have fun and to get in there and have a go. Thanks to Tom Spanos for niaking it a great season. Anna Dotson and I had the opportunity to play in an exhibition match at liall-time at a VFL, semi-final. and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The whole team really enjoyed football this year. and even though we didn't mind having a joined team with PLC, I think evel-yone from football would agree. we would love to have a lilli LMH

team. So get involved next year. d Madeleine Cai·ncr. Year 9 l 1

The statue ol St Michael that greets every visitor to the school near the gates it Mandeville Crescent is typical of whal can be found at many Loreto Schools in Australia.

Iii recent months. restoration work has been undertaken on the statue of St Thurbse ofthe Infant Jesus. which was donated to the

seliool by Peg, Bon and Bert Hegerty iii 1937. This wonderful. colour. plaster staille was one of these mass-produced iii France

during the early part ofthe twentieth centin-y. Today, vcry few statues of this type remain in Australia and the value of this one is estimated at well over %6.000.

We are very |licky to have such wonderful benefactors to the

school. including Ms Ruth Trait. (1950) who donated funds touards the restoration ofthe statue 01 St 1'|10'lOse. Her ueneroits

contribution has inspired the class of 1942 to donate funds towards the restoration oithe two. very valuable statues in the Foyer ol the mansion ithmdeville Hall.

The alabaster marble statue of Our Lady and a similar statite of the Sacred Heart will be restored by .losepli Giansiracusa from J & L Giansiracils:, Sacred Art Studio. -I'lie statue of Our Lady was donated by Wilma Miirpliy Ilead of the School in 1931 and the statue of the Sacred Ileart was presented by.lillie & Edna

Murphy in 1935. These two statues are well remembered by many past pupils of Loreto Mandezille Hall as they stood guard on two elaborate marble pedestals.

r|le restoration ofour other statues including St Joseph. St Michael and St Roch „ill be undertaken as funds become

autilable. Ifyoll wish to donate towards the restoration ofany of our statues. please contact Stephanie West iii die Development Office at the school.

Deirdre is remembered and appreciated for her scholarship Lind leadership (characteristics which saw her appointed as Principal of Loreto College. Nornianhurst. when she was only twenty-eight).

Of her many and significant achievements at Loreto Mandeville Hall, Deirdre's decision to take tlie entire Senior School on a pilgrimage to the centre 01 Australia to celebrate the Bicentennial year. proved to be the most special and memorable. This was a remarkable feat. biit to those who knew and worked with Deirdreat LMI I. ittypified her imagination. her daring, and her commitment to the belief in building on the students' own life experience.

As Principal. and indeed. in all aspects of her life. Deirdre was a wonderful example ofthose qualities at the core of Mary Ward's spirit - freedom. justice and sineerity. and abome all. felicity- Deirdre'sjoy in living. and in giviny. particularly w'on the hearts o I staffand students alike. One staff member recalls her addressing a Year 8 Assembly. only hours before the Interhouse Athletics. the yellow antennae ofher Barry head-gear bobbing as she read out the niorning bulletin. Only Deirdre .

Deirdre was a distinguished educator. and an inspiring leader who niade a significant contribution to Catholic education in Victoria. Loreto Mandeville Hall gives thanks for the legacy of her leadership and vision.

Iii the years since its formation, the format of Loreto Family International has eolved in response to changing circumstances. particillarly in India. As the number ot Sponsors greu. administration of sponsorship of individual Chi Wren at the Indian end becanie undlily timeconsuming l'or the Sisters who were already carrying a heavy but'den of work, Moreover. other dilliculties witli this system began to emerge. and the present system was eventually adopted to overcome these problems. Since its adoption. the new system has beeii effective and easier to :idniinister - and contributions hare continued to grow,

Our donor base has expanded to include all members of the Loreto Family who wish to help the children at institutions conducted by the 113VM in India and other developing countries. Loreto Family International is administered by a sub-committee of Loreto Past Pupils, but membership ofthe sub-committee includes representatives of Loreto Schools froni all over Australia.

In May this year. Loreto Fainily lilternational presented a Cheque for AS50.000 to Sister Beatrice Un·m. the Pro,incial Leader 01-the Lore Sisters in India.
