As [ delve into the Archi\,ex o f the School. it is interesting to note that we can trace the oliginhol-oul- School totheinitial site inAlbert Park. In 1889 the Sisters ofthe Institute ofthe Blessed Vii·giii Mary responded to a deniand for Catholie ed,ication, and began a School in Albert Park, Thirty five years later, this site at Albert Park become too small for the number of students, and so

the School was moved to tile site in Toorak, at the suggestion and invitation of the Bishop. Therefore. as we recognise the Anniversary this year o!'8() years in Toorak. we also cel chi·.ite the impressive milestone of 115 years of I,oreto education fur girls in the Archiliocese of Melbourne. We stand in a long and

deep tradition and the students 01-2004 students are an important part ofthe continuing hlory.

This is particillarly so in the case of Mrs Pat O 1 Ialloran who has been a filithful Menant of Loreto Mandiville Ilai] at both the primary and second.try school levels for twenty years. hi her capacity as Liturgy Coordinator in the Senior School, Pat has been an inspiration to both Stall, students und parents.

Pat also took on organi/ing tile Epworth Prayer Ministry tor our ,enioi- students

which has been. fur the last six years, a great success in that it involved ho many of our senior students who volunteered their services to assist ministering to the sick on a Sunday morning. Many ofthese students have continued this iii inistry long after thev liake left schooL

Hers was not an easy role. in that it demanded that she work with so many other

The girls had hands on experience as they engaged in a competitive game of Wheelchair Basketball. Shaun shared his unique insights into life as a wheelchair athlete and demonstrated the skills he has developed to enable him to play Wheelchair Basketball.

It was interesting to hear that many able-bodied people also have the opportunity to play wheelchair sport at a local level. often in support of a disabled family member or friend,

What was going on? What was the purpose of the shower head and attached taps, the large regency mirror. a blood red pillar and the low couch with restraint straps? And is Loreto changing the uniform to a red polka dot dress?

Don't worry. There is a perfectly plausible explanation. It is time lor the annual VCE Monologue Assessment. The students concerned have been working intensively since Term 3 on the development of their chosen monologue for performance.

From the Heritage Centre Soon after the bombing of Darwin during the Second World War, the Japanese were tast approaching the 11(11*thorn shores of Australia. On Melville island. the Sister of Our Lady of the Sacred I leart had established an indigenous mission under the leadership ot Sr Annunciata Ol.SH. Sr Annunciata realised that if they were to survive the immanent invasion from the north. it was iniperati\.e to evaellate the mission as soon as possible.

Sr An n unciata's cousin. Fr Wilf 1-ed Dew MSC (brother of Mother Mildred Dew IBVM) was resident at Tennant Creek. Northern Territory at the time the Sisters and children arrived for their temporary stay. Realising the seriousness ofthe situation. lie rang Martlia mee Tipping) Muirhead (mother of Sr Mary Muirhead 113VM ) iii Melbourne asking her to find accommodation for the child en and the Sisters. She iminediately contacted Motlier Magdalen 07 [agan 113VM uho was Superior at Loreta Mandedle Hall. in her outstanding generosity, M. Magilalen immediately moved the entire hmior School from their comfortable surroundings in the former Dell Pratt house to the Senior School. She then coineyed her warm welcome to all concerned from Mel\·ille Island.

The children and OLSI I Sisters took possession of the Junior School and soon became greatly loved by all. Mention was It equently made oftheir

beautiful singing in the Chapel ofChrist the King and especially during a High Mass celebrated by Archbishop Matinix.

After several months Iliey were able to return to their former mission and Martha Muirhead comened the Melville Ishind Mission Auxiliary (MIMA).

PAST PUPILS Sr Deirdre Rofe

Cocktail Evening Laughter, chatter and cool jazz - punctuated by occasional shrieking - were the prevailing sounds ofthe DeirdreRofe Scholarship Cocktail Evening on July 31 organised by women from the classes of 1984 to 1987.

Around 120 attended the event in Mandeville Hall. Much

effort went into locating people to invite them. Though we could not trace some, it was terrific to see how many keep in touch and the strong friendships that have outlasted our

school days. Seeing so many familiar faces and hearing people's different life stories made it a very memorable evening.

Annual Appeal 2004 We have thoroughly enjoyed working with past students who knew Sr Deirdre in this year's fundraising efforts to establish the Deirdre Rofe Scholarship for Leadership.

Events The Class of 1988, led by Genevieve Walker and Meg

Kelliher (Cunningham), held a wonderful Cocktail Party in the Oak Parlour in June. The Class of 1981, with the help of Caroline Silk (Woodley), Felicity Byrnes and Melissa Smith

(Carrington). arranged a gathering of classmates at Melissa's home to promote the Scholarship and invite their support.

Members of the Class of 1982 arranged a special mail out encouraging their classmates to support the Scholarship Appeal and Mr John Arthur contacted other members of past Fathers' Committees to seek their support. Five enthusiastic women from the Classes of 1 984-87 combined to host

Wedding Gift with a difference When Debbie (Chipp '71) married Witold Wolski on

27 June this year at St Ignatius, Richmond, they had a slightly unusual request. Instead of wedding gifts, they asked their wedding guests to give a donation to Sr Trish Franklin's Loreto Vietnam Australia Programme.

This wonderful gesture resulted in a $4,000 boost to the Programme. Congratulations Debbie and Witold!
