Dear Parents and Students

In recogni on of both the talent and the efforts of our musicians and our athletes I offer this reading from the Gospel.

I commend the students on making the most of their God given talents, and on striving to produce their best.

Their contribu on at both the QCMF (Queensland Catholic Music Fes val) and the CSGSSA Athle cs this week is greatly appreciated. The Musicians, in par cular, had wonderful successes and deserve high praise. Sta s cally, this was Loreto’s best ever QCMF. More importantly though, so many of the groups played to their poten al, winning high quality praise from the adjudicators. In all, Loreto received: 13 Gold, 4 Silver and 1 Bronze Award and 4 Individual Excellence Awards. Well done! The Athletes too we know gave their best. As a team although we came 8th overall, we came a credible 5th in the Percentage Trophy which is arguably, the be er measure of rela ve performance and an impressive 3rd in the All‐Age Relay. I offer my thanks to the music and sports staff, trainers and tutors for their interest, skill and commitment. Your belief in the girls makes all the difference.

“Do not bury your talents, lent to you by God to be expended in service.” Mary Ward

“You are the light of the world.

A city built on a hill cannot be hid.

No one, a er ligh ng a lamp,

puts it under the bushel basket,

but on the lampstand, and it gives light

to all in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine

before others, so that they may see your

good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.”

Ma hew 5 : 14‐16


SCHOOL FUNDING The Australian government is currently reviewing funding for all schools and it is likely that the government will soon propose new

funding arrangements that will be debated in the Federal Parliament later this year.

These new arrangements could have significant consequences for the funding received by our school. I believe it is vital that you

are aware of the facts about school funding and are able to ac vely defend the right of our school to the funding it needs to

con nue to offer a quality educa on, while keeping our fees as low as possible.

There has already been a lot of misinforma on about school funding in the media. In par cular, claims have been made that

Catholic and other non‐government schools receive more funding than State schools. These claims are simply wrong. Students in

Catholic schools on average receive only about 80% of the government funding provided to students in government schools.

I encourage you to view the video Catholic school funding in Australia prepared by the Queensland Catholic Educa on

Commission.

Over the coming weeks, I will also provide you with more detailed informa on about funding in our school newsle er. I

encourage you to take an ac ve interest in this informa on and be ready to par cipate in this funding debate.

More informa on about Catholic school funding can be found at: www.fundinginfo.catholic.edu.au

GONSKI REVIEW

The Queensland Catholic Educa on Commission emphasizes these seven points:

Catholic educa on remains very concerned with many elements of the Gonski model and calls on the Prime Minister to clarify the situa on.

It is impera ve that no Catholic school loses a dollar in real terms.

Catholic schools already operate at a funding level lower than State Schools.

This review is an opportunity for government to narrow this gap.

Any decrease in funding from Government for any Catholic school will put pressure on school fees and make Catholic schools less accessible for families.

Catholic authori es have done modelling and the figures, as published by the Courier Mail this week, are consistent with their es mates.

QCEC con nue to engage with government in rela on to future funding models.

COLLEGE BLAZER

Over the past months, we have been working in consulta on with Uniform Design Specialists (Ranier Design Group) to improve the style, cut and fabric of the exis ng blazer. They have thus produced two op ons for our considera on, both of which will be unveiled at this week’s assembly.

Neither version is radically different from the current one but both have been designed to be lighter in weight (using a polyester viscose material) and to have a closer fi ng, more tailored shape. They are fully lined and the new fabric provides warmth

without bulk. It also has the added advantage of being machine washable. The cost of the proposed new blazer will be ‘on par’ with the current blazer.

In seeking to improve the design and func onality of the blazer, my hope is to see many more students wan ng to wear it. The blazer provides a formality that is appealing and scholarly adding to a sense of pride in one’s school and one’s learning.

If either of these proposed designs proves to be favourable to the community then we would seek to introduce it from 2013. Of course, due to the large expense of this uniform item it would be important to phase it in over a full five‐year period. Thus, by 2017, all students would be required to have the ‘new’ blazer.

You are thus invited to par cipate in a quick on‐line survey to provide us with your feedback. I look forward to your responses.

h ps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/loretoblazer

The new blazers will be on display in the library later this week.

Ranier Design Group has also proposed the introduc on of a new ribbon possibly to become a “senior” ribbon. The proto‐type has received very favourable feedback from the senior leaders. This ribbon will also be on display this week.

Languages Other Than English (LOTE) Week began last Friday at Loreto when Patricia Clunes from Nacel gave a presentation about international exchange programs. Today the girls had the opportunity to talk with Dr Geoff Wilkes, Director of Studies at the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies, UQ. Dr Wilkes discussed the Diploma in Languages, Bachelor of International Studies and the Brisbane Languages Alliance between the University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University. Anna Simpson (Loreto 2011) will provide the student perspective of tertiary languages study in a presentation on Thursday. Tomorrow we will have a “Learn a LOTE at Lunch time” session with games and on Friday there will be a trivia quiz and dance off to French, German and Japanese music. Everyone is welcome and prizes will be awarded. The program for LOTE Week is outlined on the following page. LOTE Movie Afternoons As part of LOTE Week, we will be hosting French, German and Japanese film afternoons from 3:30pm – 6:00pm as outlined below. If you will be attending these film afternoons, your permission slip should have been returned to your Languages teacher or the main office. Here is a reminder of the three films that will be shown with their respective ratings;

Tuesday 21st August – German Film Afternoon: Keinohrhasen – Rabbit Without Ears (2007) German with English subtitles Runnng Time: 111 minutes Rating: M Gossip-columnist Ludo (Til Schweiger) finds himself sentenced to three-hundred hours of community service after he literally crashes a private celebrity party. The work is at a children's day-centre and while the job's fine, it is his bad luck that the person in charge is a woman whom he used to play endless practical jokes on when they were at school; she hasn't

forgotten and is prepared to use her new-found power to get her own back. Anna (Nora Tschirner) finds however that, like the children, she's warming to him. (imdb.com). This popular romantic comedy, in the style of Notting Hill, was a huge hit in Germany.

Wednesday 22nd August – French Film Afternoon: L’Arnacoeur – Heartbreaker (2010) French with English subtitles Running time: 101 minutes Rating: M

Heartbreaker is an action-packed romantic comedy pairing two of France's biggest young stars: Romain Duris and actress/singer Vanessa Paradis. A smash hit in France, the film was also featured at the Tribeca Film Festival. Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex (Duris) is a professional heartbreaker who for a fee can turn any husband, fiance or boyfriend into an ex. Alex has one ironclad rule: He only breaks up couples where the woman is unhappy. His latest job will put that rule to the test. The target is Juliette, a beautiful heiress who is set to marry the man of her dreams. However, will he discover to his own cost that when it comes to love, the perfect plan doesn't exist?

Thursday 23rd August – Japanese Film Afternoon: Laputa - Castle in The sky Japanese with English subtitles Running time: 125 minutes Rating: G In a world very similar to our own, young Pazu works at a mine, assisting Mr. Duffy with the heavy machinery. One night he sees something shining slowly descending from the sky. It is a young girl named Sheeta, who is wearing a pendant of rare levitation stone. Both a band of pirates led by their mother Dola, and the military led by Colonel Muska are after the girl, trying to find the secret of Laputa, the legendary flying island and Pazu finds himself thrown into a merry mess of trouble as the two groups struggle for the girl and the island.

A highlight of the week was the starwatching evening organised by Ms Gillian Hibbert, one of our Science Teachers. Our telescope was put to good use, allowing all to see Mars, Venus and Saturn with great clarity and detail. It was great to see our girls get involved in all of the activities on offer and I am sure some sparks of curiosity have been lit that will lead to successful future careers in the sciences.

lxtÜ LDE cX XåvâÜá|ÉÇ àÉ hd On Thursday 2nd August, the Year 12 Physical Education students and Mr Jones set off to the University of Queensland at St Lucia. Focusing on the Human Movement studies, many of the girls were intrigued to gain a ‘hands’ on experience with both simple and sophisticated athlete testing procedures. When arriving at the beautiful atmosphere of the University, the class was greeted by a handsome instructor called Simon who encouraged many of us to participate and observe in the practical exercise of physiology. One of the endurance tests conducted was the VO2max test, which measures the criterion of aerobic capacity in athletes. Bridget Sankey was brave enough to endure the 8-10 minute test with supporting classmates surrounding her. As a result we were able to calculate her body oxygen consumption (VO2 max) which is very useful for this term’s study. We were then given a careers talk and later involved in a prac session on strength testing techniques. It was only later in the afternoon that the Loreto girls explored the university lifestyle and had a taste on what it was like to be a uni student. I am sure all of us that participated would agree that this excursion was productive and an informative experience. A lot of the Loreto girls can’t wait to go back in year 2013!
