Be seekers of truth and doers of justice

In Loreto Schools across Australia this year, not only are we celebrating the theme of ‘verity’, we are also remembering with thanks the life of remarkable Mother Gonzaga Barry IBVM. Mother Gonzaga was the founder of Loreto Schools in Australia and

2015 is the 100th anniversary of her death. I take this opportunity to share with you some of her story extracted from the Loreto Australia website www.loreto.org.au Mary Barry (24/7/1834 – 4/03/1915) was born into a large, well-to-do family in Wexford, Ireland. As a child she witnessed some of the horror of the Great Famine of the 1840s and never forgot it. She was educated at Loreto Gorey and Rathfarnham, joining the Institute herself at the age of 19, and taking the name of the young Jesuit saint, Aloysius Gonzaga. Mother Gonzaga held various leadership positions over the next 20 years and in 1875, at the invitation of the Bishop of Ballarat, led the first group of Loreto Sisters to the Australian colonies. Gonzaga was small, plump, profoundly deaf and increasingly dependent on the use of an ear trumpet and yet during her 40 years in the colonies she became one of the most significant figures in Australian Catholic education, particularly for women. Ireland was in her soul and yet she identified with her adopted country. A woman of extraordinary energy and faith, she embraced educational initiatives from kindergarten to tertiary level and founded teacher training colleges in Ballarat and Melbourne. In the last 20 years of her life she took a leading role among Mary Ward women worldwide in the cause of uniting various branches of the order. Gonzaga died at Mary’s Mount, Ballarat, on 4 March 1915 and is buried there in the small garden cemetery. Gonzaga Barry urged pupils of Loreto schools to “leave after you something on which others may build.” She lived these words herself. In her 40 years in the Australian colonies she founded ten girls’ boarding schools, ten day schools, six

From the PrincipalThis is an edited extract from the Verity address by 2015 College Captains, Grea Effeney and Georgia Garrett, at the Opening Mass.

In 2015, all Loreto Schools throughout Australia will be celebrating the virtue

of ‘verity’. As we gather here together today, let us pause and think about what verity means to each of us. Who are we called to be? What is divine in all of us? Mary Ward believed verity was to live with integrity and truth, particularly the profound truth of who we are and what gives meaning to our lives. At the end of last year, Grea and I travelled to Melbourne for the annual Loreto Leadership Conference, along with the Captains from six other Loreto schools in Australia. As we explored the meaning of verity and how we could live this virtue in our daily lives, we focused on what it meant to be true to ourselves. One idea that resonated with us and empowered us, was Mary Ward’s assertion of “no half women, no half measures”. Mary Ward believed in the capacity of women to contribute significantly to society and to face challenges or adversity with courageous hearts. Verity means committing passionately, with fervour, to all that we do and being authentic and sincere in our words and actions. We must have the courage to seek the truth. We must be able to love ourselves for all that we are – which enables us to be true to ourselves and then to others. When we open our hearts to verity and truly embrace the truth of who we are, it is a natural progression to live sincerely, to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with God. It is our hope that you will adopt the Verity Prayer created by the student leaders into your lives not only in 2015, but also in future years, in order to practice the true meaning of Mary Ward’s virtue of verity. This year, we ask you to “ignite the fire, let truth inspire.” Embrace the virtue of verity and begin 2015 with the belief that we can seek the truth always, have the courage to speak the truth without fear and have the joy of accepting who we are and sharing this with others. Let’s unite and ignite the truth in all that we do this year.

Verity PrayerLoving God,

In this Loreto year of Verity, we are called to explore the profound truth

of who we are and what gives meaning to our lives.

May we be guided to seek your truth, have the integrity to speak it

and the love to share it.Encourage us to draw strength from one another

and act as a united voice of truth in the pursuit of a loving and just world.

Open our hearts and minds to develop a sense of authenticity in our actions,

so that we may whole heartedly commit to all that we do.

Help us to recognise your divine presence within ourselves and those around us,

as we do the ordinary things well, in the footsteps of Mary Ward.With one heart we pray.

Amen.(composed by the 2015 Loreto Student Leaders)

• Understanding that comes from deep thinking and a search for truth and knowledge; (Our Minds)

• Understanding that is open to mystery and free to refer all to God. (Our Spirit)

She encouraged her educators to “Study the tasks and attractions of the little ones and to lead them through their own door, but do not stop there.”“Strive ever,” she says “to widen and deepen your hearts and minds, until they are capable of taking in great things for God and your fellow creatures.”These words speak powerfully to us about the importance of cultivating a particular culture in our schools where intellectual, spiritual and moral character development is at the forefront of all we do.

Mrs Cheryl Hamilton

primary schools, three kindergartens and two teacher training colleges as well as taking over the running of at least eight parish schools. Gonzaga had a profound influence, not only on Catholic education but in the emerging world of a migrant-based society where Catholics were increasingly entering the professions. Loreto women were urged not to live a “butterfly existence” but contribute as wives and mothers, in the workplace and through charitable and cultural endeavours. Gonzaga became a powerful figure in the wider

Institute, forging close bonds with Mary Ward women internationally through her extraordinary travels and extensive correspondence. Mother Gonzaga Barry was a prolific writer and her words continue to inspire and motivate those of us working in her schools today.To her Sisters she wrote that the aim of a Loreto education should be • “To cultivate, to train, to develop,

to strengthen and to polish all the physical, intellectual, moral and religious faculties which constitute nature and human dignity in the child. We shall truly be repaid when our pupils grow into men and women, of simple pursuits it may be, but of lofty aims, individuals whose characters will exert lasting influence on the world in which they move.”

Mother Mary Gonzaga Barry (1834 – 1915)

• “To cultivate the heart. Train it upwards. Plant noble principles for intellectual development.”

She further encouraged her Sisters and Loreto pupils• “To cultivate large-mindedness; let there

be nothing petty and narrow in your views, judgements and opinions.”

She was also insistent that “Studies derive their chief worth from their effect on character.”Therefore, it is pleasing to see that in Loreto Schools today, her legacy lives on calling us to cultivate a particular culture: one that searches for truth through understanding:• Understanding of self, others, and all

creation; (Our Hearts)

Council Dinner

Rebecca tops the State in 2014

The annual Council Dinner was an occasion for both reflection and joyous celebration. Members of School Council and Committees, staff and senior student leaders joined with IBVM Sisters and Fr Paul Sireh and Bishop Bill Morris (retired) from Mt Carmel Parish to listen to the Most Reverend Mark Coleridge, Archbishop of Brisbane, deliver a scholarly and insightful Verity Oration. Much fun and fellowship then followed as they enjoyed a beautiful meal together.

Rebecca Marshall, 2014 Loreto Coorparoo graduate, led the field of

Queensland’s top academic performers, attaining the highest result of 28,500 Year 12 students on the 2014 Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test.Rebecca was recognised for her outstanding achievement at the inaugural Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) Achievement Awards ceremony on Saturday 28 February. The prestigious QCE Achievement Awards recognise Queensland’s top performing students for outstanding academic achievement in their senior school studies. Accepting her award in front of Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) representatives, high school principals, peers and family, Rebecca was presented with a trophy, certificate and prize money by Minister for Education, Kate Jones. Whilst Rebecca received an OP1 and an A on the QCS Test, what sets her apart from other high achieving students is her exceptional combination of high-level academic achievement and breadth of learning. Rebecca credits her parents, her school, Loreto College, and her peers as the secret behind her success. Rebecca Marshall – the 2014 Year 12 student with the

highest result on the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test

“My school and all of my teachers at Loreto College have been incredibly committed and played a huge part in my academic success. A lot of my peers were also really great.”Rebecca is no stranger to success. In 2014 she was the Queensland Winner of the Lions Youth of the Year Quest. Rebecca appreciates the importance and privilege of a good education. “I know how fortunate I am to have been afforded such opportunities in my senior year. Even

the opportunity to go to school, that’s not necessarily a given. I think it’s important to show my gratitude. I definitely value my education so that inspires me to make the most of any opportunities that I am given.”Rebecca has commenced a Bachelor of Science at the University of Queensland and has received guaranteed provisional entry into the Medicine program. Rebecca was also the recipient of a UQ Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship, valued at $60,000 over five years.

ANZAC Centenary TourAlex White and Taylor Whitewood, both in Year 11 at Loreto Coorparoo, embarked on

the trip of a lifetime in April this year when they travelled to Turkey to commemorate the centenary of the landing at ANZAC Cove at the Dawn Service at Gallipoli. The girls were winners of the Premier’s ANZAC Prize, which was established to encourage young Queenslanders to better understand the ANZAC legacy. Students from across the State were invited to submit a multimedia presentation exploring how the ANZAC tradition has shaped Australia and how future generations can keep the tradition alive.Both girls have an active interest in the history of the World Wars, partly because of their ancestry. Alex’s great-grandmother’s two brothers served in World War 1 while Taylor’s great-grandfather was in the Light Horse Brigade in World War 1 and her great uncle served in the army during World War 2.Alex and Taylor are keen Modern History students and study French and German, respectively. In addition, the girls are currently in training to complete the Kokoda Challenge in the Gold Coast hinterland this July. Over the past 12 months they have raised significant funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation and the wounded, injured and ill Australian Defence Force members through Mates4Mates.Their ANZAC tour of a lifetime was beautifully summed up by each of the girls.

Taylor Whitewood:I was incredibly excited to embark on a journey that would involve not just learning about the strength of our ANZAC troops in Gallipoli, but also about their experiences in France and Belgium. The first day was especially memorable; we landed in Istanbul and visited the Hagia Sofia Mosque, the Blue Mosque, the Palace and the Grand Bazaar.Our itinerary was packed with city sightseeing, visits to famous memorials and many cemeteries where we remembered the lives of troops who died in World War 1. It was, at times, an

emotional and overwhelming experience, especially when we stood on ANZAC Cove, and when Alex and I read out the eulogies of our adopted soldiers. The most memorable experience for me will always be the Dawn Service at Gallipoli. Not only was it eerie to be on that strip of beach where so many died 100 years ago, but it was also a beautiful service with touching speeches.It’s important to remember the nearly 40 other cemeteries and memorials we visited; some had 50 soldiers buried there, some had thousands, each moving in their

own way. The striking message that was left ingrained in all of us was the sheer loss of life that war brings for all sides. I’m so grateful that I was able to go, because I know that the memories I have from the ANZAC Premier’s Prize will stay with me forever.

Alex White:Visiting Gallipoli for the centenary of the ANZAC landings was amazing! It was a surreal experience to be at the Dawn Service listening to dignitaries such as Tony Abbott and Prince Charles. What I enjoyed about the service was the focus on celebrating the incredible bravery and mateship of our soldiers. After spending a few days around Çanakkale visiting battle fields and cemeteries, we travelled to Brussels and

then made our way to Ypres where we were fortunate to be a part of the Menin Gate Service. This service has run at 8.00pm every night since the end of World War 1. It was a very special night, with our group’s choir singing the Australian national anthem to conclude the service. We then travelled to the Somme, where some of the most devastating battles of World War 1 took place, it was an emotional experience for us all. Finally,

we completed the tour in Paris, where we visited Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The trip was an experience of a lifetime; the friends I’ve made and the places I’ve seen will never be forgotten.

Staff Retirements At the conclusion of 2014, the College farewelled five long serving members of staff, Mr Pat Elsworthy, Mr Bryan Deveson, Dr Rai Irmer, Mr Bill Kenny and Mrs Kerry Williams. With a combined service of 142 years, we say thank you and happy retirement to these five special people. Pat, Bryan, Rai, Bill and Kerry, we wish you the best of everything life has to offer in your next exciting chapter. Congratulations!

Dr Rai Irmer Loreto Staff 1983-2014 (32 years)

Mr Bill Kenny Loreto Staff 1991-2014 (24 years)

Mr Bryan Deveson Loreto Staff 1988-2014 (27 years)

Dr Raimund Irmer has been a generous and spirited member of the Loreto College community for 32 years. Graduating with a Bachelor of Science, a Doctorate in Chemistry and Diploma in Education, Dr Irmer’s educational contribution to Loreto College has been significant. At the conclusion of his teaching career, Dr Irmer achieved Incredibly High Achievement in English, German, Mathematics C, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. He also achieved a Sound Achievement in computer technology, mobile phones and digital reporting. Affectionately known as ‘Doc’, he has acted diligently not only as a teacher, but a mentor, supporter and felicitous ally. Who can forget his enthusiastic participation in the staff act at each Mission Day and his uncanny portrayal of Harry Styles from ‘One Direction’? With a smile almost as white as the paper roll he marks every day, he has also committed endless hours and brainpower to what he is best known for, his puns: “Does Russell Crowe fly around the school and do all the squawking?”“We’d make more chemistry puns but all the good ones argon.”Dr Irmer has demonstrated creativity and meticulous presentation as an exemplary ambassador for the College. He never fails to impress his students with his shorts and socks combinations, always paired with the most stylish of school shoes. In winter, he may even wear a long sleeved shirt on a particularly chilly day. In the classroom, Dr Irmer speaks knowledgably, confidently and enthusiastically in his lessons. His desire to make a positive difference has been evident in all of his endeavours.Dr Irmer is an inspirational gentleman and teacher. We hope he recalls his time at Loreto with great fondness and pride. Doc’s deeply held values, felicity and authenticity shine through in his relationships with others. We thank Dr Irmer for his outstanding contribution to Loreto.

The Students of Loreto College6 November 2014

Mr Kenny’s contribution to Loreto College over the past 24 years has been remarkable. Whether teaching classes or working with Vinnie’s, he always contributed with a positive attitude, numerous survival stories and high socks. Mr Kenny has been an admirable teacher of Mathematics, Junior Science and Senior Biology. It is evident from his many high achieving students that he has been successful in his teaching and encouraging with his words, despite occasionally getting distracted and telling us several life stories in a row. Mr Kenny has a vested interest in linking Science to real-life experiences. We would like to thank Mr Kenny for teaching us where oxygen comes from, what combustion is and lastly, how and why our bikes rust when we leave them out in the rain. As a member of the Year 10 Homeroom team, Mr Kenny has attended many Year 10 Camps where he has shared his knowledge of outdoor pursuits such as kayaking, bushwalking and jumping out of tall trees backwards or upside-down. Mr Kenny is also a talented fiction writer. Together with his brother, Mr Kenny published ‘The Deep Channel’ in 2012, inspired by his time spent in the Torres Strait.Mr Kenny has played a significant social justice role at Loreto through his work with Vinnie’s and Rosie’s. These were both organisations that saw Mr Kenny encourage and inspire students to participate. His passion for helping people is evident not only through his personal interactions with others and his involvement in the Loreto community, but also in communities abroad. Mr Kenny has travelled to East Timor several times, where his practical and scientific skills have aided communities in need. Mr Kenny’s commitment of time and willingness to share have been a gift to our community. Finally and sincerely, we would like to wish Mr Kenny the best of luck with his retirement and encourage him to continue to teach, influence and inspire people just as he has done with generations of Loreto students.

The Students of Loreto College6 November 2014

Mr Deveson joined Loreto College in 1988 and has served the school community admirably for 27 years. During this time he has taught Mathematics to thousands of students and has spent thousands of hours in the Maths Help room, generously and competently allowing students to grow under his reassuring guidance. As a teacher of Study of Religion, Legal Studies, Economics, Religion and Mathematics, he has imparted his wealth of knowledge and passion for learning to his students. He is known for his prodigious memory as he forgets nothing and is a walking archive of information.For many years, Mr Deveson has arrived at school early, unlocked 219’s doors and waited for the lost sheep of Maths to gather. Here, he has consoled girls in tears over Maths assignments, prevented break downs before Maths exams and on occasion, relinquished the answers. This has brought incredible comfort and been invaluable in encouraging hundreds of students to embrace the challenges of Mathematics. Mr Deveson was Year 10 Coordinator for many years and enjoyed the excitement that only Year 10 Camp can bring. He always wants his students to be their best selves and we are blessed that he answered the call to make his life’s work teaching. His gentle strength, humble wisdom and the great respect he shows others will be sadly missed, including the polite “Good Day” that he would say in passing. With constancy and faith he has lead, taught and inspired. We cannot thank Mr Deveson enough for his contributions, and he will remain a valued and respected member of the Loreto community long into his retirement.

welcomed 13 new members of staff at the beginning of 2015. Mrs Kerry Williams

Loreto Staff 1985-2014 (30 years)Mr Pat Elsworthy Loreto Staff 1986-2014 (29 years)

Mrs Williams has been a dedicated member of the College community since 1985, as a teacher of Drama, English, German, Study of Religion and Religion, and eventually Drama Coordinator. Mrs Williams had significant responsibility for numerous musicals during her time at the College from Godspell to Grease. She has been in charge of the Drama Council and helped to coordinate the Junior Drama Club, choosing scripts and planning the Showcase Performance, as well as staging numerous Senior Drama Performances and Year 10 Collage Dramas. Most importantly, Mrs Williams often helped produce the Staff Act, the highlight of Mission Day, easily enlisting the help of others to ensure an extravaganza of entertainment. Mrs Williams has significant experience and expertise in QCS and NAPLAN which has been of great benefit to students. She provided great insight into specific techniques and strategies to enhance academic success, which proved to be immensely valuable. Just her gentle words of encouragement were appreciated.As a Year 12 Homeroom teacher, Mrs Williams has been on numerous Retreats, sharing her time and faith with hundreds of students. She is always calm and unflappable, easily embracing change and challenge with courage and a positive attitude. Mrs Williams has a great sense of humour and always has a lively classroom. She is not a ‘drama queen’ but is certainly the ‘Queen of Drama’. Mrs Williams is a true woman of Mary Ward who exemplifies the qualities of sincerity, verity and felicity in all that she does. She will be sadly missed but we know that Loreto has been a better place for her presence.

Mr Elsworthy has been a generous and spirited member of the Loreto community since 1986. From his first role as the Maths Coordinator to his current position as the Deputy Principal – Curriculum, he has always displayed a quick mind and a quick wit – although he may need some new jokes. Mr Elsworthy has been involved in Debating and Mooting throughout his time at the College, assisting with coaching and mentoring of Senior teams. He loves a good argument and he has effectively imparted his skills and experience to countless debaters. Mr Elsworthy attended numerous Year 12 Retreats and shared a plentiful array of travel stories from all of the amazing places he has been. Being responsible for the timetable, Mr Elsworthy kept the whole school running smoothly and efficiently. He is never late, even when all of his beloved clocks went mysteriously missing from the Mary Ward Centre. Mr Elsworthy is also responsible for implementing the QCS program and administers the annual test to each new group of Year 12s. He is a forebiding figure at the microphone, striking fear into anyone who does not have a HB pencil – and heaven forbid if you are not paying attention! But the fact that he can explain clearly and in immense detail how OPs are calculated is really deserving of an Honour Pocket on its own!We thank Mr Elsworthy for his tireless commitment to the Loreto community and wish him all the very best for his retirement.

Aislinn with Adizeri and Deogratias

Brisbane Bayside’s Savoyards Amateur Theatre Company captivated audiences with their recent production of the Broadway classic, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. The musical featured an array of Loreto community members including, Kate Milward (2014), starring as Belle; Rebecca Grady (2010), chorus member; and Warryn James, father of Year 7 student, Miranda James, who played the role of Cogsworth the clock. The cast were commended with rave reviews! Congratulations to everyone involved with the production of Beauty and the Beast.

Since 2011, Aislinn Healy (2010) has been sponsoring Adizeri and Deogratias to go to boarding school in Tanzania. They were four and two years old respectively when she first met them through volunteering during her gap year at the Faraja Vocational Training Centre. She is hoping to raise enough funds to continue their sponsorship in the coming years. A donation of any amount, large or small, can make a difference in Adi and Deo’s lives. If you would like to donate, or want some more information, please go to the following link www.mycause.com.au/page/87735/myfaraja Please feel free to contact Aislinn and to forward this link to friends and family who may be interested.

Federation 2015Dare to be TrueLoreto Federation – 17–19 April 2015Members of the Loreto Coorparoo Past Pupils’ Association attended the 29th Loreto Federation in Ballarat – a very fitting location as it was the first Loreto school established in Australia 140 years ago by Mother Gonzaga Barry. The theme this year, Dare to be True, was comprehensively addressed by so many high calibre speakers from diverse professional backgrounds who shared their stories, their influences and their visions. The Hon Mary Delahunty was an excellent master of ceremonies for the weekend, and the Hon Quentin Bryce AD CVO, and Kate Torney, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Director of News, and Ballarat past pupil, were two of the many inspiring speakers.As always happens, Federation “first-timers” consistently leave the weekend enriched in so many ways and often wonder why they have never been before! Anthea Newcombe (Wright 1998), a past pupil and current member of the teaching staff, said, “Attending Loreto Federation was a transformative experience. With speakers addressing their work and challenges in areas

ranging from astrophysics to programs in the developing world, the conference heard from women who truly live Mother Gonzaga Barry’s exhortation to “leave something after you on which others may build”. These speakers issued a call to all Loreto women to “lean in and change the world.” Another member of the teaching staff, Marie Shaw, reflected:“As a first-timer, Loreto Federation was an impressive experience. The historical occasion, the backgrounds of the speakers and the general organisation were superb. Also, the shared spirit, the warm camaraderie and generous good will of those attending were palpable for me. The legacy of Federation will linger on for me for the two years until the next one.” On a practical note the delegates worked to redraft the Federation Constitution and to form the 2015 resolution to take back to their own Past Pupils’ Association. The adopted resolution is:Inspired by the vision of Mary Ward and Gonzaga Barry, and by the example of Pope Francis, we resolve to reclaim the freshness of the Gospels. We will explore more tangible means of harvesting the immense social and intellectual capital of the Loreto Family and find effective

ways to improve the lives of the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalised.The Federation organisers, led so capably by Meg Barry, provided wonderful hospitality and are to be congratulated. The challenging and inspirational program was complimented with beautiful liturgies and the joy that comes from sharing Loreto music. The sound of so many women (and men) joining together in singing the Holiday Hymn is always a highlight of the weekend!

Marissa (Calligeros 2005) and Gianni Lucchi were married on 11 October 2014 at Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church, South Brisbane, followed by a blessing at St Mary’s Catholic Church, South Brisbane, where the groom’s grandparents were married. The groom’s Italian relatives who travelled from Italy, ordered a Papal Blessing on parchment and brought it to Australia as part of their wedding gift. The reception was held at The Greek Club and it was a night filled with plenty of Italian and Greek gusto!
