What does a Loreto learner look like?
Resilience – you don’t give up. You are able to stay on task
and focus on a task even when things get difficult. You under-stand that you can’t do it YET but with hard work and effort you will progress. You are organised and prepared for the lesson.
Initiative– you can use your own skills. You use 3B4Me. You
can ask questions which will help to think of solutions. You can think about what you know which will help. You use the correct tools, including thinking maps, without being told. You can think about how to find out what you don’t already know. You
think about how you’re learning.
Communication skills – you can work well with others as part
of a team. You can encourage others and listen to what they’ve got to say. You can use other people’s good ideas to your ad-vantage. You are able to lead others in an activity and support them.
Creativity– you can use your imagination to come up with ide-
as. You can try out alternatives if one idea fails. You are able to start again and learn from your mistakes. You plan what you want to do and how you will do it. You can change your plans if necessary.

Dear Miss Robinson
I am writing to apply for the position of Weekend Sales Assistant that was recently advertised in the Herts Advertiser.
As you will see from my CV, I am currently a student at Loreto College in St Albans where I am pre-paring to complete my GCSE. I am looking for a weekend position that I can fit around my studies at school.
I believe I have many skills that enable me to be successful at Smyth’s Toys in the role of sales advi-sor. I have strong communication skills which I use when communicating to a wide range of people such as students and teachers in school as well as coaches and team mates at the gymnastics club I attend. I have very effective team work skills which I have developed through my dedication to gym-nastics and through my coaching experience. Finally, I am a highly organised person and have a good ability to meet deadlines which is very important when I am juggling gymnastic competitions with homework deadlines at school.
