-he School Theme for 2005 is

Honouring the women before us through action today The theme is based on the Loreto value for 2005 - Women

- and was developed by the twelve School Councillors during a weekend retreat at Sorrento. Through the theme we aimed to achieve two things: to acknowledge, recognise and pay tribute to the women before us, such as Mary Ward, and to build on what they have achieved. We hope to keep the theme alive throughout

the school year and we have taken initiatives such as 'woman of the week' to create awareness of various great women.

Principal t is with pleasure that we present this expanded edition of the Mandevillian to you. So much has happened in the last few months, and we are delighted to share, with you, reports and articles on the many wonderful activities that constitute School life.

This year is the Loreto year of "women". The theme that our Year 12 Councillors have formed for the year is "Honouring the women before us through action today". This focus on women, past and present, and on action and doing, provided an appropriate and relevant bacl<drop for the planning of the recent Loreto Federation Conference, held this year here at Loreto Mandeville Hall. The Conference, The Circus of Life; Nurturing Spirituality, was Dr Susan Stevens and Mr: Annabelle Scanlon

a celebration of what it means to be a Loreto woman in the 21"

Century.

International Women's Day Breakfast

LORETO MANDEVILLE

n Tuesday 8 March 2005, International Women's Day was celebrated with a special breakfast attended by Year 12 students and a woman of significance in their lives. We

were surrounded by mothers, grandmothers, cousins, teachers and friends.

The breakfast commenced with a speech by our School Captain Nicole Jee, emphasising our School Theme - Honouring the women before us, through action today - in context with International

Women's Day and its significance. We were fortunate enough to then be addressed by a past pupil of this school, Catherine Walter, who is currently a Director of the Australian Stock Exchange, Orica Limited, Australian Foundation Investment Company, Melbourne Business School, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, and a Member of the

Federal Government's Financial Reporting Council. Catherine outlined some of her life philosophy, a framework moulded around seven "P" words. They are passion, prioritisation,

portfolio, paradigm-shift, play, pay-back and people. Taking questions from the floor, she added 'prayer' to her list, prayer 14

as formative in helping create the people we are. In keeping with the theme of women and Catherine's accomplishment in a male

dominated profession, other questions focused on the nature of women in the workplace. She emphasised the importance of diversity in the workforce, not only in gender, but in other areas such as ideas and skills.

The International Women's Day Breakfast proved to be an inspirational experience for all who attended; a testament to

Mary Ward's words: Women in time wi// come to do much. We thank Mrs Rosemary Doolan Deputy Principal, Director of Pastoral Care, for organising this significant annual event. Samantba Jivissati. Year 12

St Patrick's Day

n 17 March the prayer leaders from Years 4-6 went to St Patrick's Cathedral. We had two girls holding a banner that represents our school, Loreto Mandeville Hall. The

Archbishop and a priest helped with the ceremony, After the ceremony we walked to the park that was nearby. We saw an

Irish dancing performance and two girls dancing were from LMH. We would like to thank Miss Blackie and Mrs Crowhurst for the

wonderful day that we had on St Patrick's Day.

students represented in this exhibition, These students were Kelly O'Bryan (Yr12 - 04), Emily Galbraith (Yr 12 - 04), Kate Sala (Yr 11

- 04) and Xi Xi Wang (Yr 11- 04). As part of the exhibition, a senior school student's work is selected forthe highly prestigious 'Julia Flynn Award'. This award is presented to the student whose work best

reflects the spirit of the Catholic Education Week Exhibition and which offers the opportunity to 'Explore, Create and Communicate on the deeper meaning and value of life.'

Congratulations to Kelly O'Bryan whose work entitled 'War and Kell., t) lin·,in with her invard winning H#r amd Pnbb Peace' was presented with this prize. Kelly's digital photographic work was a response to her school visit to japan and, in particular, Hit-oshima where she was confronted with horrific images of the aftermath of war. In her artwork she juxtaposed these images with

some images she photographed of a contemporary japan at peace with the world.

During March, Art Education Victoria in conjunction with The Age newspaper, also held a major exhibition celebrating the artworks of Victorian students. The exhibition was held at Domain House, South Yarra.

Congratulations goes to Zoe Taylor (Yr 12 - 04) who was awarded a Zoe Tailor ami 70,· Giniffe

TOP ACTS 2004 We extend our congratulations to Emma Kingsbury (2004) who was one of only thirteen Theatre Studies students chosen state-wide to perform her monologue for the 2004 VCE Season of Excellence.

Emma performed the role of The Chorus from French playwright Jean Anouilh's play, Antigone. Anouilh adapted the original ancient Greek play of the same name and set his drama in Second World War France.

All of the current Year I I and 12 Theatre Studies students and Drama staff attended the Top Class

performance, which was held at The National Theatre. St Kilda on Saturday 30 April. The girls were impressed and excited to have a fellow student represented in such an important event. Emma's performance was superb and we are all extremely proud of her.

Emma is currently pursuing her dream of studying Creative Arts at Melbourne University and we wish her every success in all her future endeavours.

detail. However, none of their eye witness accounts, which seem

perfectly plausible, match and the audience are left in a state of confused suspense until the mystery is solved at the last minute. The Rea/ /nspector Hound is a play within a play. Two critics comment volubly and pompously upon the production being watched. The audience is irritated, amused and outraged by their constant interruptions. But, amazingly the critics end up on stage and are drawn into the action of the play. This much loved play has everything; humour, mayhem and............. murder!

SENIOR SCHOOL SPORT 2005 Can it get any bigger? Perhaps it's the anticipation of the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games or the success of our athletes in the 2004 Athens Olympics but Sport has absolutely 'taken-off' at LMH in 2005! The numbers of girls participating is phenomenal with record numbers being

involved across all sports. The year started with a number of sports camps, bringing girls back together the week before the start of the

school year to engage in sport, Over 230 girls where involved in one

improve every week. Netball is always popular at LMH and to see 10 Juniot-teams head outto playat Duncan McKinnon every Thursday was satisfying. No matter what grade the girls played in, they all gave their best. We had 2 teams qualify for the GSV Finals; the Senior 'B' team and the Junior 'D' team. Training on turf also boosted the skills of our Hockey players who had lots of wins throughout the season. The most exciting game was played by the Senior Team who

progressed to the GSV Semi-Finals after winningtheirzone. In a very close fought play-off for 3'd, they ended up being victorious after extra time and a penalty shoot out.

Then the school year began and even more girls have joined the 'sporting ranks' by taking up a sport, or in some cases up to four sports! In Term I alone we had 70 girls in Surf Life Saving, 60 girls in Swimming, 20 girls in Diving, 110 girls in Rowing, 100 girls in Tennis

and 80 girls in Softball. And with large participation numbers came success! Of course, on top of this we have the year-round sports of Aerobics, Gymnastics, Equestrian and Swimming attracting large numbers too! Our Surf Life Saving team progressed to the State Surf League Final at Torquay for the seventh year in a row. We also held our own LMH carnival with 4 teams of LMH students

competing against one another on the beach and in the water at South Melbourne LSC, Our swimmers achieved their best results

ever, with a 2'id placing in the GSV Division 2 Championship. We had 17 individuals and 10 of 12 relay teams reach the GSV Finals, being in the top 10 schools of all 24 GSV schools. LMH won one gold medal

and three bronze medals on the night. LMH went on to place 3'-d in the SCSA Division I Swimming Championships, with both our Junior and Intermediate age groups taking home the winning trophies. We also secured two bronze medals in the Swimming Victoria All

Schools Relay Championships. The Diving team have gone from strength to strength with LMH achieving a 2'id in the GSV Division 2 Championship. In previous years we have always been in Division 3. Our Intermediate division also tool< out the trophy. As well, LMH

achieved 2'id place in the SCSA Division I Diving Championships. The Tennis and Softball players have had a hectic term fitting in all their training and matches around PAF rehearsals and an extremely busy

school calender. For the first time since the GSV began, LMH took

home a premiership flag in Softball. Well done to the Intermediate 'B' Team who won the grand Final in style winning 24:5 against Sacre Coeur. The following teams won their GSV zones: Intermediate 'B'

the semi-finals and 9 of these went through to the A final. LMH finished with 2 victories and an excellent 314 place to our Senior A c rew.

Term 2 Sport saw even more girls becoming involved with 75 girls braving the early mornings to do Cross Country training, 200 in

Netball, 80 in Hockey and 40 in Water Polo. LMH has entered more

teams than any other school in the GSV! Our Cross Country girls finished the season with their best results ever. Not only did they qualify for the GSV Division 2 Championship carnival for the first time, but they went on to place 2nd overall in this Carnival. With so

Girls' Sport Victoria Captains Breakfast 2005 The GSV Captains Breakfast was a terrific way for Alexandra Bingham (School Captain of Sport) and Stephanie Trikilis (School Gymnastics Captain) to meet captains from the other GSV schools as well as discuss ideas as to how they would like to develop and promote sport within LMH. The breakfast included an extremely inspirational talk from janne Errington-Smith, an Australian representative in Wheelchair Basketball. Janne shared her experiences of school sport and discussed the importance of achieving a balance in life. How, working too hard for long hours at the expense of your diet and wellbeing can be a catalyst for unthinkable and irreparable damage. For janne, this lead to hospitalisation and ultimatelyapermanentdisability and reliance on a wheelchair. She spoke of the opportunities available to her in Wheelchair Sports and the difficulties which athletes with a disability face to receive recognition and funding.

LMH Philosophies on Sport Ideally, every student at LMH will chose to actively participate in sport. Everyone, regardless of ability level, can gain so much from their involvement. Sport engages the mind and the body, develops not only fitness and skills, but teaches self discipline and working as .

a team, whilst giving participants an important sense of belonging, enabling new friendships to foster. Take advantage of the vast opportunities available to you at LMH and in doing so develop an active lifestyle for life. Un Call.ir Hunt, L.WH Dirmor of'Sport

Sport plays a key role in my life. I have participated in many sports over the years and I tai<e every game and training session with a new and positive approach. 1 think sport is very beneficial to everyone. It helps you to clear your mind, meet new friends and be fit and healthy. I love being a part of a team. This yearl hope Loreto Mandeville Hall students participate in at least one sport, because there are so many benefits and I hope sport becomes a part of each girl's life and has the same positive effect that it already has on mine.

Surf Lifesaving We chose to do Surf lifesaving for our sport in Term I. It was great fun and we learnt a lot from out teachers Mrs Hunt and Mrs Lyford.

LMH Aquatic LMH AQUATIC is a swimming club based at Loreto Mandeville Hall. It is a registered club with Swimming Victoria and membership of the club allows swimmers to compete in swim meets outside of school and inter-school meets. Many swimmers are now training with the

squad program at Loreto Mandeville Hall, under the guidance of Head Coach Julie Dyring, and competition is the next step in the children's progress. t

Five swimmers competed for LMH Aquatic at the Victorian State Championships in December/January. All swimmers performed well and their new club uniforms certainly were noticed by all. The

committee of LMH Aquatic designed the uniforms, which include traci<suit, polo shirts, bathers, shorts and swim caps. The uniforms

give the swimmers a feeling of team unity and support. LMH Aquatic looks forward to more children becoming members of the club and competing.

Feeling Centred Since returning from Central Australia I have been asked, what was the best thing you did while you were away? Here are some of my responses:

The best physical sites were - Uluru, Kata Tjuta, King's Canyon and Wilpena Pound. In other words, nearly all the sites we went to! Uluru was probably the highlight of the trip. This huge, iconic orangered rock allowed me to understand why the Aborigines have, for thousands of years, honoured it as

sacred. I felt so insignificant standing next to it and, although I decided not to climb the rock but to wall< with other girls around its base, 1 still had an appreciation and lasting impression of its enormity. Walking up the first mountain at King's Canyon, and looking down into the gorge, then to the other side to the huge expanse of green trees and never-ending stretch of undisturbed bush, led me to two

conclusions: we do have 'boundless plains' and my Dad was right when he said that King's Canyon is a most spectacular place.

Although many of the girls might disagree, the best night was when we camped in the middle of the desert with noamenities. Att 10pm weslipped into our sleeping bags and becameamateurastronomers.

It was beautifully still and warm with the brightest stars I have ever seen. The trip to Central Australia is a great way to explore and discover some of the wonders of our own country. We made close friendships with each other, learned more about tolerance for others and many new card games. Some of the saddest things was saying goodbye to our wonderful bus driver and chef, who had driven us half way across the continent and provided us with wonderful food, and knowing that we will never again have 'the wake up CD' with all of us singing while Lauren danced and impersonated St Kevin's boy's dancing techniques. ' A huge thanks to the wonderful teachers who made our trip so enjoyab Lauren DoJ-van,

Class of 1965 "40" Year Reunion Lunch

60 Plus Reunion

On Thursday, 19 May, 43 past students gathered in the sunshine in front of the Historic House for the 60 Plus Reunion. This Reunion

is held every year to bring together those students who left school 60 years ago, or more. Among the guests from the earliest classes were Sheila Pitt (Sullivan '30) and Kathleen Minahan ('31) and others through to the Class of 1945. Many had sent their apology and good wishes for the occasion. Loreto sisters were also present, adding to the richness of the occasion. After a delightful musical recital in the Oak Parlour, provided by Ms Mary O'Driscoll and Senior School students, everyone enjoyed their Lunch together in the beautiful

surroundings of the Reception Room. For most, the parting words were "See you next year!".
