The Year of Sincerity
Volume 28 No.1 June 2014
From the Principal
I
t is an exciting time for
us at Loreto Coorparoo
as we begin to finalise our
preparations for the arrival of
Year 7 into secondary schools in
Queensland next year. In 2015,
we will have a ‘double intake’
with new Year 8s and Year 7s
joining us in the same year. This
will mean that one third of our student body
will be new to Loreto in 2015.
Obviously, there is a long list of changes
that we need to make to provide for this
significant change to the enrolment of the
school and not all of them will be finalised
before the extra students arrive. However,
we are well and truly on our way to achieving
many of the most essential changes.
In the pages that follow, you will see that
we have completed the expansion and
improvement to our Tuckshop. We have also
refurbished our Home Economics rooms and
have added an impressive new Hospitality
Kitchen, complete with its very own ‘tasting
garden’ courtyard.
The construction of the new building at the
Cavendish Road entrance to the school is
well underway and on target for completion
by the end of third term. It will accommodate
an additional five classrooms as well as a
versatile large, open space on the ground
floor which can be used for student, staff and
community gatherings. This striking building
has been designed so that it can one day
become the entrance for a Performing Arts
Centre which will be constructed where the
tennis courts currently stand.
Beyond the physical changes that are
necessary, the teachers are busily planning
the various curriculum activities, programs
and resources that will be needed. This
unique opportunity to start afresh has been
embraced by the teachers as a chance to
collaborate and to integrate the disciplines of
learning in ways that will engage and stimulate
the students in their thinking and learning.
These are indeed exciting times for us as we
plan and build together for a preferred future.
I sincerely thank all who have so generously
supported us with the Capital Campaign.
Your generosity is helping to make the
aspirations expressed in the Master Plan
become a reality Beyond Today.
Mrs Cheryl Hamilton
This is an edited extract from the
Sincerity address by 2014 College
Captains, Prue Hempel and Claudia
Miotti, at the Inaugural Mass.
T
his year, Loreto schools around
Australia celebrate the virtue of
Sincerity. Sincerity is having the courage
to live by truth, believing in honesty,
having integrity and striving for selfacceptance. It is to “speak as we think,
to do as we pretend and profess, to
perform and make good what we
promise, and really to be what we
would seem and appear to be.”
The term sincerity stems from the Latin
words, “sin” which means without, and
“ceras” which means wax. Sincerity can
be understood simply through the
phrase, “without wax”. In Greek and
Roman times, when artists discovered
a flaw in their sculptures, they filled
the crack or chip with coloured wax to
match the marble. The wax was used to
mask any flaws and create the illusion
of perfection. Thus, to be “without wax”
or sincere is to allow your true colours to
be seen. This value is reflected in Mary
Ward’s injunction that we should, “be
such as we appear, and appear such
as we are”. During your personal Loreto
journey in 2014, we challenge each of
you to be “without wax”; to be authentic,
proud to let everybody see who you really
are, honest about your flaws as well as
your strengths.
This idea of being sincere, however,
does present us with a challenge.
This challenge is learning how to love
ourselves and embrace our quirks and
differences, whilst having the courage
to free ourselves from defensiveness
and self-judgement. If you come to
accept yourself, you will be more open to
accepting others and be proud in standing
tall as the person you are.
By example, Mary Ward has shared her
story, her heart and herself by staying true
to her vision, which she expressed wholeheartedly. If she had not been sincere in
the unity of her words and actions and
had the courage to be true to her heart,
her talents would not have been seen by
(L-R) Prue Hempel & Claudia Miotti

Class of 2014
those around her and her impact would not
have been as significant. Mary Ward once
said, “Do not be hasty in your promises
but be faithful in keeping them. You will
do much if you do all you can, do it with a
great and generous heart and a humbled
mind, and do it for God’s sake.”
We ask you to embrace 2014, the Year of
Sincerity, with an open heart, an open mind
and an open spirit, so you can let your true
colours shine in the sight of all to see.

HELEN SALTER IBVM
T
he first line of Loreto in Australia by
Mary Ryllis Clark reads: “This is the
story of remarkable women. As I have
come to know them over the past years,
what has struck me above all is their
resilience.” This is an apt description of
the woman I would like to acknowledge
this evening – the remarkable and resilient
Sr Helen Salter.
Helen has served on the Coorparoo
School Council for over seven years. Her
term should have been shorter but Helen
was happy to stay longer to support not
just a new Council Chair but six new
Loreto Sisters purchase
32 Dale Street
We are pleased to announce that the
Loreto Sisters have purchased the
property at 32 Dale Street, the last
remaining private residence on the
“Loreto block”. The immediate usage of
the property is still under discussion, but
its significance for the on-going presence
of the Sisters in Coorparoo and the
long-term development of the College
is clear. On behalf on the wider Loreto
community, we thank the Sisters for their
wisdom, support and stewardship.
J
members as well. This was an example
of Helen putting her own needs after those
of others – and certainly after the needs
of this College. Helen’s association with
Coorparoo predates her involvement
with Council. Helen first came here as a
boarder from outback Queensland. Like
every other Loreto boarder, Helen loved
her time here, but I’m sure it must have
been a difficult wrench to make that trip
back to Coorparoo at the end of every
holiday. It required resilience.
It is often said that you can take the girl
out of the country, but you can’t take the
country out of the girl! Helen is living proof
of this. During her time here on staff, with
responsibility for the boarders, there were
reports of a late night prowler lurking.
True to her practical rural upbringing,
Helen suggested to the local Police
Sergeant that if they would simply lend
her a gun she could easily scare off the
culprit with a few well directed warning
shots. The Sergeant was understandably
reluctant about this proposal!
Helen’s resourcefulness extended to
her spiritual ministry as well. Mary Ryllis
Clark writes, “During the ten years Sisters
Frances Browne and Helen Salter spent
in the remote township of Hay in the
Riverina, there were times when the
priest rarely visited and Frances and
Helen found themselves praying with the
dying, burying the dead, baptising babies
and preparing the children for their First
Communion and Confirmation. Sr Frances

Anne Kelly. Sr Maria Bongiorno has been appointed
Leader of the Coorparoo Community
recalls that the Bishop would have been
happy for them to marry people, but Rome
would not give permission.”
What strikes me most about Helen is
her love for Loreto - especially Loreto
Coorparoo. Not only is this evident in the
tireless contribution Helen has made to
this community, but it is clear when Helen
speaks of past pupils: where they were
from, to whom they are related and where
they are now. Such deep knowledge can
only come about when one has a genuine
love and affection for a community. I
think the following quotation is a good
summation of Helen and her life here at
Coorparoo. “Accept the things to which
fate binds you, and love the people with
whom fate brings you together, and do so
with all your heart.”
Sr Helen, on behalf of Council and the
community of Loreto Coorparoo, I would
like to thank you for your stewardship,
dedication and devotion. Your love does
indeed bind us all.
Loreto Justice Circles Enrolment Timeline
ust six weeks after first gathering to
learn about the idea of the Loreto
Justice Circles, over a dozen parents,
past pupils, teachers and friends
recently came together to discuss
how to create a Loreto Justice Circle
(LJC) at Coorparoo. The Loreto Justice
Circles concept was first presented at
Coorparoo in March by Sr Anne Kelly,
with support from the College and the Past Pupils’ Association. As
that first meeting drew to a close, it was clear that it had ignited the
ideas, energy and passion of many attendees. The challenge was not
going to be getting people enthused – rather, how to best harness that
enthusiasm and develop a plan of action!
This is why our second meeting took a workshop-style approach to
addressing several key questions. We began by getting to know one
another better, understanding our personal connections to Loreto, our
passions and our networks. We were then able to turn our attention
to some important questions. What values will underpin our choice of
projects and organisations? What criteria will guide our decisions about
projects? How will the Coorparoo LJC be structured and sustained?
In just two hours, we began to answer these significant questions and
developed a plan for our next meeting. Jobs were allocated amongst
willing volunteers, including capturing meeting notes, developing
a vision and statement of purpose for the LJC at Coorparoo, and
identifying potential groups and projects to engage. Watch this space,
as we continue to make headway on the Loreto Justice Circles initiative!

A Strong Foundation for Years 7 & 8 at Loreto
P
lanning for the introduction of Year
7 in 2015 has involved much more
than ensuring we have sufficient staff and
facilities. Our planning for appropriate
Year 7 curriculum and pedagogy has
stimulated significant reflection and
research, providing an opportunity to reshape the foundation years of secondary
schooling – Years 7 and 8. The teaching
and learning framework at Loreto is
grounded in our Catholic, Mary Ward
ethos and educational best practice. The
Australian Curriculum, the integration of
digital technologies and a commitment to
the development of critical and creative
thinking have all informed our planning.
We have incorporated two specific
educational initiatives into our learning
framework: Habits of Mind by Arthur L
Costa, Emeritus Professor of Education
at California State University, and the work
on Making Thinking Visible emerging
from Harvard University. These two
educational constructs guide and unite the
teaching and learning practice within our
College and underpin the key features of
the learning program for Years 7 and 8.
Purposeful Integration
The academic program offered to
Years 7 and 8 students will include one
integrated unit each term. The recent
study conducted by McEwin and Greene
(2011) is clear evidence in support of this
decision. This study compared a range
of factors from 827 randomly selected
public middle schools in America with 101
of some of the most successful middle
schools in the nation to identify differences
in their practices. “Their extensive data
analysis revealed that when middle
schools authentically follow middle school
philosophy- which includes integration
and interdisciplinary team organisationstudents are more likely to have higher
scores on achievement tests and other
positive outcomes.” The inclusion of
integrated units at Years 7 and 8 enables
the seamless interaction of a variety of
academic subjects. We believe that girls
learn best when they see connections
between the various subject areas. The
learning experiences are challenging
and encourage student engagement
and motivation. The integrated units are
designed to mirror life beyond school in
their emphasis on collaborative learning.
members of the global community,
they need to depend on and work
with each other. With this approach,
the gap between the knowledge and
skills gained within school and those
required in life beyond our gates will
be narrowed. Our focus on life-long
learning is tied most profoundly to
this ideal.
A Growth Mindset
Recent empirical evidence indicates
that girls are more likely than boys
to have a fixed mindset, especially
in Mathematics. Despite actually
performing as well as boys in
Mathematics courses, girls doubt their
ability to develop their mathematical
skills when faced with difficult material;
this fixed mindset in female students
appears to contribute to the substantial
gender gap in Mathematics engagement
that emerges during and after middle
school. According to Dr Carol Dweck,
“A growth mindset is based on the belief
that your basic qualities are things
you can cultivate through your efforts.
Although people may differ in every
which way – in their initial talents and
aptitudes, interests, or temperaments
– everyone can change and grow
through application and experience”.
(Dweck 2006) It is with the knowledge of
Dweck’s work and of girls’ development
that we have embraced the deliberate
teaching of brain based learning in
which girls are taught about a growth
mindset. The unit titled BIG, “Brains In
Gear”, is designed to inform the girls
about being drivers of their learning
as opposed to learning happening to
them. Once the girls are cognisant of
their learning process, they are able to
understand that the struggles they may
experience with new concepts are all
part of the “learning process” and not
final indicators of aptitude.
Personal Development
In addition to the rich, full curriculum,
the girls will grow through Personal
Development, a critical aspect of our
program. Girls will learn to grapple with
issues that are typical during these years
of tremendous change such as: how to
be a good friend; how to resolve conflicts;
what to do to organise and enjoy activities
in a limited amount of time; how to be
a more efficient and effective student;
and how to be a productive citizen who
contributes to the community. We place
a strong emphasis on skills to cope with
the transition from primary to high school.
This can be a time of great excitement but
also of anxiety. By equipping our girls with
the necessary skills to manage change,
we are contributing to their resilience
as young women. The girls will attend
a three day Camp which will encourage
participation in team building activities
to support their beginning connections
with their peers. The Camp environment
will allow the girls to experience learning
challenges beyond the traditional walls of
a classroom. We also believe our students
should be taught and practise the various
skills and tools needed to be successful
learners. Throughout Years 7 and 8,
there will be a strong focus on developing
organisational skills, self-advocacy and the
accompanying sense of independence.
Girls will have a balanced program of
academics, arts, physical and social/
emotional growth opportunities.

Year 7 & 8 Teaching & Learning Coordinator
Teamwork
We believe that girls learn best when
they work with each other; Years 7 and
8 students can expect to be involved
in a number of interdependent learning
experiences. The intention is to foster
communication skills that encourage
empathy, understanding and cooperation.

A Gift Beyond Today
E
arlier this month I was privileged to
make a presentation to our Year 11
students, in preparation for their choice
of fundraising causes in Semester 2.
Focus was on the often misunderstood
difference between philanthropy and
Parent Events
charity. Describing philanthropy as a
love of humanity in the sense of caring,
nourishing, developing and enhancing
what it is to be human, I was met with
puzzled faces! I resorted to explaining
that charity aims to relieve a problem,
whereas philanthropy attempts to solve
a problem. Or to use a tried-and-tested
adage, it’s the difference between giving
a hungry man a fish and teaching him
how to fish for himself.
It is interesting to consider why many
assume that the concept of philanthropy
only applies to those with tremendous
wealth and is often directed towards
causes that evoke highly emotional
responses. The smallest gift can be
philanthropic if it contributes positively
and with endurance beyond the end
of a financial year statement. It is also
interesting to consider the ever-emerging
culture of giving at Loreto – a culture that
is reserved, yet aspirational and applauds
those who find ways to contribute where
they can.
We are very grateful to those who
support Loreto College, listed on our
2013 Honour Roll of Donors. In 2014, we
invite everyone in our community to join
this extraordinary group of inspirational
philanthropists, in support of our Capital
Campaign Beyond Today.

Transformation & Growth at Loreto
D
riving along Cavendish Road, an
imposing sight now presents itself
to our community; the emergence of
a visually stunning new building. With
undulating curves and a design that
both complements existing structures
and acknowledges our heritage, the
entire student population will enjoy these
wonderful facilities. Loreto College is in
a process of transformation and growth,
with the construction of this new building,
the upgrade of the Tuckshop and the
impressive expansion of Hospitality and
Home Economics.
Home Economics now enjoys generous
sewing areas and the Seniors’ cooking
and demonstration area boasts the
latest multi-function gas ovens, cooktops
and extractors - enough to make any
Masterchef jealous! Cameras with display
screens are in place for teaching purposes
as well as huge interior and exterior
work benches. Glass doors open to an
expansive, shaded deck - the perfect area
for gathering and tasting the sumptuous
dishes presented by our students.
With the new Year Level building due for
completion in September, we look forward
to welcoming our community into these
exciting, contemporary learning spaces.

The Loreto Language Exchange Program:
I
n November 2014, a group of three
Loreto teachers and 21 students will set
off for France, marking the 10th year of
the French Exchange with St Joseph de
Tivoli School in Bordeaux. In 2013, we
celebrated 10 years of exchanges for the
German and Japanese students of Loreto.
What began as a dream in the mind of Mrs
Eleanor O’Mahony, the then Languages
Department Coordinator, became a
reality in 2003 when groups from Loreto
Coorparoo went to Germany (with Mrs
O’Mahony and Mrs Ward) and Japan (with
Mrs Hada-Baxter and Miss Tilly) for the
first time. The inaugural French exchange
(with Mrs O’Mahony and Ms Carty) took
place in November/December 2004. The
first group of girls was, in fact, called “The
Dream Team”. They laid the foundations
for the subsequent visits to Australia
of students from our sister schools in
Germany, Japan and France and our
return visits to their families.
As Mrs O’Mahony stated recently, “Not
often can teachers say an educational
dream has been fully realised within
their career span, but in the case of the
exchange program at Loreto, this was
indeed the case. Two teachers dreamed a
dream and in 2003, they saw it realised.”
Sr Berthilde (later Sr Rita) Schneider,
retired principal of the Mary Ward School
in Bad Homburg, shared the dream with
Mrs O’Mahony, “of linking both schools
and further extending the Open Circle of
Friends so loved by Mary Ward”.
“This deeper learning of languages, not
just a superficial smattering, was one of
the key points in Mary Ward’s education
exhortations to her teachers.” It is this
philosophy that is at the heart of our
language-based cultural immersion
program. The program’s aim is to “open
the minds in both schools not only of the
students, but of their whole families and
the wider Loreto community as well.”
The Japanese Exchange Program took
place initially between Sacred Heart
College in Kagoshima in southern Japan
and Loreto Coorparoo. In 2007, our
sister school became Kangawa Gakuen
in Yokohama. The French Exchange
Program has always been with St Joseph
de Tivoli School in Bordeaux.
We are indebted to Mrs O’Mahony for her
pivotal and inspirational role in setting
up each of these exchanges. That all
three exchanges continue to flourish is
testimony to her dedication in preparing
and implementing the program’s main
features, policies and practices. They
have stood the test of time and have
developed even further in terms of
their success through the use of new
technologies such as social media and
the continued enthusiasm of the current
language teachers at Loreto and our
sister schools.
Celebrating 10 years of friendship and enrichment
We take this opportunity to thank the
many students, both here and abroad, and
their families, who have made the Loreto
Exchange Program such a resounding
success. We thank also the many
teachers who have participated in the
program. And of course our gratitude is
extended to the principals of the exchange
schools and our own Ms Carmel Dunne
and Mrs Cheryl Hamilton for allowing the
dream to stay alive.
We often hear from students who have
kept in contact with their host sisters and
have visited them after leaving Loreto. We
are keeping a record of such contact and
return visits, so if any past pupils would like
to send us their stories and accompanying
photos, we would love to hear from you.
These stories will enrich our archival record
of the exchange program.

Council Dinner & Oration
This is an edited extract from Sr Anne
Kelly’s address at the Council Dinner.
A
fter an absence of 23 years, I can
say with all sincerity that I’m really
delighted to be back at Loreto Coorparoo!
When Kieran Donnelly asked me to give
this speech, he suggested that I talk
about some of the experiences I’ve had
since leaving Loreto Coorparoo. Well,
23 years is a very long time and much
has happened along the way, however I
decided to give you two examples from
my time in Uganda, where I went to work
when my term as principal of Loreto
Kirribilli concluded. Both stories are about
seeing with the eyes of others, so I guess
the link with sincerity has something to do
with seeing clearly, seeing what is really
there not just what seems to be there.
Both stories focus on my attempts to
improve girls’ attendance at school.
In Uganda, girls are needed to work in
homes and fields; to gather food, cook,
clean, mind siblings and elderly relatives.
Patriarchal culture doesn’t value girls and
women or their education. After many
months, I began to notice that most girls
missed three or four days of school each
month. But why? The answer was simple
– once I could see it! No underwear, let
alone sanitary equipment. We began
a project which saw girls in charge of
hygiene workshops and making the basic
products they needed. The result – a
marked improvement in attendance!
This was linked to another project I had
started – Affirmative Action Project for
Girls – which involved paying a small
amount of school fees for girls with good
attendance. Prompted by the prospect
of cash in hand, principals who had
been disinterested in the issue of poor
attendance of girls became enthusiastic
recruiters. Boys begged me to treat them
the same as girls. Some even insisted that
they were girls!
of course; it takes a life time of effort. But
we can draw encouragement from the
direct, clear gaze of Mary Ward, who set
such a wonderful example for us, and from
her unequivocal words: “Be such as you
appear and appear such as you are.”
Sr Anne Kelly
We extend our very best wishes and thanks to
Mrs Lorraine Stone on her retirement from Loreto
after 30 years given in service. During her early
years, Mrs Stone worked as both teacher’s aide
and an audio visual technician in the library. More
recently, she has worked in the service area
providing printing services for staff and first aid
care to students. In this capacity she has provided
comfort and support to many students and families
in times of need. For this we offer our sincere
gratitude. We wish Lorraine every enjoyment,
blessings and good health in her retirement.
Lions Youth of
the Year Success
Staff, students, parents and friends of Loreto
Coorparoo mingle at the Council Dinner
Research now supports what empirical
observation has been suggesting for
years, namely that the most powerful
means of leading communities out of
poverty is to educate their young women.
There is a direct correlation between
the length of time a girl stays at school
and the earning capacity of her entire
family. I’m convinced that girls’ access to
education and health facilities are the two
most critical keys to development.
Both these experiences in Uganda had a
powerful effect on me, making me realize
that seeing the world through the lens of
my Australian eyes, with my Australian
mindset and life experience, is quite
limiting and can easily lead to wrong
assumptions. So, in conclusion, how do
we eradicate the blind spots from the way
we see the world and the way we see
ourselves? There’s no one easy answer
30 Years of Service
Ms Nyree Wood was recognised for her
25 years teaching at Loreto
Year 12 Student Rebecca Marshall
has become the 2014 State Winner
of the Lions Youth of the Year Quest.
Representing the Coorparoo branch,
Rebecca made her way through district
and regional competitions to be one of
four contestants in the State Final which
took place in Cairns over the weekend
of 12-13 April – just as Cyclone Ita was
battering the city! Rebecca went on to
compete in the National Final in Tamworth
where she lost narrowly to the Western
Australian contestant.
Rebecca impressed the judges with
her prepared speech on Social Media,
highlighting the objectification of women
and the need for increased self-worth
and self-respect among young women.
Loreto public speaking coordinator,
Mrs Rosemary O’Neill said, “We are
exceptionally proud of how Rebecca has
given her best throughout the competition.
She has represented the Coorparoo Lions
branch with confidence, intelligence and
leadership, demonstrating notable public
speaking skills throughout the process.”
Congratulations, Rebecca!

post-school life, and how they transition
beyond secondary school in Queensland.
The study captured the perspectives
of students, school staff and parents
in relation to this critical transition. Her

years since graduating from Loreto College. As Liz
King (Tully) commented, “We had a very successful
reunion of 35 attendees. Lunch at GOMA extended to
dinner elsewhere for some and the noise level during
lunch was a measure of enthusiasm! We all agreed
to meet more often as there was not nearly enough
time to catch up.”

“Our family has strong links with Loreto that go back for four generations. My mother
went to Normanhurst, my mother-in-law went to Mary’s Mount, my sister-in-law to
Mandeville, my four daughters went to Cavendish Road and I went to Normanhurst
and Cavendish Road, so you could say that our roots in Loreto are deep.”

Franki Bowler
hese were the words of Francis Bowler
when she was guest speaker at a
Loreto Coorparoo Spring Luncheon some
years ago. A grazier, writer and artist,
Franki lived a life less ordinary, growing
up on a sheep station, graduating from the
University of Sydney with Honours and
travelling extensively overseas at a time
when it was unusual for young women to
do so. But perhaps her most remarkable
achievement, with her husband Reg,
was her eight children, born over just
nine years.
at age nine went to boarding school in
Normanhurst. In 1941 her parents were
concerned that if Australia was invaded,

to return home, so they were enrolled
in Loreto Coorparoo. Like all Coorparoo
students, Franki was moved to Glen
Innes where she spent two long years in
often freezing conditions. Franki would
say that being young and foolish, she felt
antagonistic towards the Sisters but when
they meet again many years later, she
understood their hardships. One Sister
shared that her sleeping quarters only
had a galvanized roof; she could see the
stars through holes in that roof and in the
morning, had frost on her bed clothes.
In March 1995, Franki proudly donated
books, ‘Every Now and Then’, to the
Loreto Coorparoo Archives, in memory
of four Loreto generations as her three
granddaughters were attending Loreto
Coorparoo. Franki is survived by eight
children, 25 grandchildren and four
great grandchildren.
A wonderful family man & great mate
The Honorable Warwick Parer AM (1936 – 2014), husband of Kathi and father
to our Loreto Coorparoo Past Pupils’ President Martine Whitton, passed away
unexpectedly on Saturday 15 March, 2014. As Chairperson of the RBWH
Foundation, Warwick led with great passion and generosity, believing in the
advancement of health care through medical research. Present at the Requiem
Mass and wake to honour Warwick was Mary Clarke (Dooley 1969), who
eloquently expresses what a beautiful gathering it was.
A
packed Mt Carmel Church was a
portent that somebody much loved
and respected was to be farewelled.
the windows and a marquee beside
the Church welcomed later guests.
Commonwealth cars stayed silent and
still, police on motorcycles monitored
and protocol guides politely checked our
names and offered books to sign. The
front portion of the Church was a sea of
elegant black as several generations of
Parers and relatives supported each other
with easy intimacy and warmth. Across the
aisle, Federal, State and Local politicians
and vice-regal representatives mingled
and chatted. Outside, just as the Mass
procession commenced, a rain shower
burst. It seemed that nature “shivered”
for some moments as its friend was
named and called home. If this was a
State funeral, with its attendant formality,
Fr Jerome Watt ensured that it was Mt
Carmel’s celebration, speaking familiar
and kind words for Kathi, the children and
spouses and many grieving grandies.
There was no doubt that this Mass was
The simplicity of the Liturgy underplayed
its importance for everyone and the Loreto
Chorale sang like angels. Carolin told us of
Warwick’s life with clarity and dignity and
some cheeky memories: his whiz bang
skills with the leaf blower and penchant for
backyard burns! We learned of his great
skill at making you feel special, as though
this moment existed in time just for you and
he to be together. Warwick loved life, loved
learning and especially loved people. John
and unscripted, praised Warwick as the
best of the best in Australian politics, loyal
and collegiate, devoted to his family and
to public life. He echoed what we all knew
- Warwick was a great mate. Helen Parer
ibvm wove Warwick’s qualities beautifully
into the reading from Ecclesiastes - “the
generous whose good works have not
been forgotten” - and the family delivered
heartfelt Prayers of the Faithful.
Fathers Paul Syrah, Jerome Watt,
Peter Dillon, Bill O’Shea, John Garrahy
and Bishop Brian Finnigan celebrated
Eucharist, reminding us of Warwick’s
enduring Catholic faith. The video montage

to the tune of Dean Martin’s “Everybody
loves somebody sometime” united the
congregation in laughter and poignant
thoughts. After the Rite of Commendation,
Warwick was farewelled from the Church
by his sons and sons-in-law, a testament to
his deep and inclusive family love.
The wake was a traditional Parer feast,
sunshine streaming and everyone feeling
welcome and loved by Kathi. Warwick’s
spirit was present in the tall gum trees and
his wonderful legacy. Loreto has been the
recipient of his goodness and kindness and
it’s been my privilege to know the family.
Thank you Martine, Carolin, Helen and
Sonya for being such felicitious and strong
Loreto women!
Warwick Parer, with his joy in life, has
indeed left this world a better place,
