Celebrating 85 years
Print Post Approved No. PP 451 207/00 220 Loreto Chronicle The Year of Justice Volume 26 No.1 June 2013 From the Principal I n this our 85th Anniversary Year, it gives me great pleasure as a past pupil, a past staff member and now as the Principal of this fine school to “unveil” the much anticipated College Master Plan. This is a pivotal time in our history as we look to further develop the school in exciting ways to cater not only for our increase in enrolment when we introduce Year 7’s in 2015, but to seize the opportunity, as the custodians of Loreto’s future, to do this in a way that maximises the great potential of this beautiful campus. Vitally important elements of the Master Planning process, which has been conducted for the School Council by architects Thomson Adsett, have been: • Considerable consultation and review with key stakeholder representative groups; & • Formation of a Capital Works and Property Committee, comprising community members with industry expertise and experience, who have provided invaluable advice and assistance to the School Council. The exciting vision that has emerged enhances not only the many positive attributes and assets that already exist, through refurbishment and remodelling, but also adds some very exciting new developments that will address important educational imperatives which have been identified through this process. Cont. next page Justice Prayer Loving God, In this year of justice, may the strength of Your love become alive within us. As we grow in harmony with You and Your creation, may we love ourselves as You love us. Give us the courage to open our eyes and respond with compassion to the injustices that surround us. Grant us the wisdom to discern right from wrong and enable us to make a difference. Guide us to use our blessed gifts to empower the powerless and give a voice to the voiceless. Lord, let justice help us see the world without assumptions and expectations. Allow us to love the world we see. (Australian Loreto Student Leaders) Amen. This is an edited extract from the address by College Captains, Laura Sclavos and Emmeline-Kate Ball, at the Opening Assembly. A new year – an entire year’s worth of wonderful opportunities! Many of the moments in the year ahead will be disguised as ordinary days, but each one of us has the chance to make something extraordinary out of them. The year ahead will no doubt be overwhelming and challenging at times. We all need to be prepared to work hard. But I’m sure 2013 will also be incredibly rewarding and enjoyable, filled with fun and exciting opportunities. The motto for this year is Dare to Dream – Loreto 13. Hopefully, this encourages and inspires you all to strive hard, follow your dreams and dare to be great. Each year, we celebrate one of the five virtues of Mary Ward: Sincerity, Verity, Felicity, Freedom and, in 2013, Justice. At the beginning of the summer holidays, we were fortunate enough to meet with other Loreto School Captains across Australia to discuss what Justice is and how to incorporate Justice into our school lives. At this conference, we realised that in order to provide Justice, we must first understand it. When we hear the word Justice, the first vision that often comes to mind is a set of scales which represents Justice as fairness, righteousness, abiding by the law and doing the right thing. While this is all (L-R) Laura Sclavos & Emmeline-Kate Ball true, Justice is more than that. It is about choosing to do what is right, even when it is the most difficult option. It is about being able to recognise the prejudice that is in our world and respond with compassion to make a difference. To be Just is to have courage and wisdom to give a voice to the voiceless and empower the powerless. Most importantly, Justice is realising the dignity and worth of every individual. We can try to eradicate as many injustices as we want, but it means nothing if we belittle the people we are helping or think that we are better than them. This year, we would like to introduce a Justice motto that we hope will guide us to be Just Loreto women. This motto is: See Truth, Feel Gratitude, Act Justly. We believe that this captures the idea of opening our eyes to the difficulties that others experience. It also expresses the idea of being thankful for the gifts in our own lives and genuinely wanting to share these with others. With these things in mind, we can then provide Justice to those who need it. Good luck for this year! Be guided by the wise words of Douglas Pagel: “Follow your dreams. Work hard. Be kind. Have fun. Find strength. Be truthful. Have faith… and remember to smile and hope and help.” Celebrating 85 years Laura Sclavos & Emmeline-Kate Ball 2013 Loreto College Captains 1928 – 2013 Be seekers of truth and doers of justice Cont. from page 1 The first Stage of development is set to commence before year’s end and, provided that funding permits, will include: • A Year Level building, which in a future Stage will be expanded to become a Performing Arts Precinct with theatre capacity for 500; • Refurbishment and extension of the existing Home Economics and Textile rooms to create a new senior hospitality kitchen and courtyard; • Remodelling the Tuckshop and upgrading the Undercroft and its surrounds; • Expanding the capacity of the student reception office; and • Adding and improving staff study areas to cater for additional staff. The second major improvement being proposed beyond Stage 1 is to relocate the Library to the very heart of the school – housing it in the Casket Building, so rich in story and heritage - thus creating a central learning hub for students and staff. In 2013, as we look “beyond today”, we seek to re-imagine and re-define the physical amenities of the College in ways that are exciting and purposeful. But, most importantly, we look to do this in ways that are respectful of our heritage and consistent with our ethos. The very beautiful campus we enjoy today is unquestionably the legacy left to us by the sisters themselves and the many previous generations of students, parents and staff. We offer them both thanks and deep appreciation. Our forebears have entrusted this unique legacy to us, a legacy on which we can now build. Each of us therefore has a responsibility, in our own way and within our own capacities, to provide careful stewardship through continuous care and Future Stage: The addition of a Performing Arts Theatre and transformation of the ground floor of the Year Level building to a foyer. arly in 2013, we welcomed Catherine Shipton to the newly created role of Community Relations & Development Manager. Catherine comes to us with a wealth of experience in education fundraising, alumni relations and not-for-profit businesses. You would be aware that many schools have long-established Foundations and/or Development Offices. With the launch of our Master Plan and impending capital works, the time was most definitely right to introduce a Loreto College Community Relations & Coorparoo Development Office. Catherine has hit the ground running Development Manager and she looks forward to keeping our Catherine Shipton entire community up-to-date with all the significant milestones of our eagerly anticipated Plan. Catherine can be contacted by phoning 07 3394 9957 or emailing [email protected]. 2 – Loreto Chronicle Mrs Cheryl Hamilton Stage One: A new Year Level building, featuring a bronze curved screen, architecturally expressing musicality, theatre and performance.

I n her biographical sketch for the Province archives, Mary spoke with modesty of her success at the Melbourne Conservatorium prior to entering religious life. But her records show another story. As a 1st year student in the Bachelor of Music Degree, she gained six 1st class Honours, was awarded the prestigious Wright Prize for piano accompaniment, and an Ormond Exhibition. The promise of this talent must have been clearly before her eyes, yet she courageously responded to an insistent call within herself to become a religious, sacrificing her personal dream for another of loving service. On 31 May 1940, Feast of Our Lady of Reparation, Mary entered the Novitiate in Ballarat and took the name, Reparata. ‘Rep’, as she came to be known affectionately by her devoted students, soon established her place firmly in their hearts in two significant ways: as a master musician and a compassionate Infirmarian, who year after year carried ailing boarders’ trays up three flights of stairs! Mary graced Loreto schools as Head of Music for a total of 62 years, 30 of which were spent in Ballarat, 25 in Brisbane and seven in Sydney. Who could ever forget the musical productions she mounted: ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ in Mary’s Live & Wired Sunday 20 October 4.00pm to 7.00pm Deshon Oval Loreto College O ur popular music afternoon on the Oval will be bigger and better than ever in 2013, in honour of the College’s 85th Anniversary. Join us for an evening of music and entertainment, featuring Loreto ensembles, Villanova bands, international food, games and much more! Mount, and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ in Sydney! The Kirribilli students showed immense loyalty to her when the school was taken to court over the Superstar production. They thought of Mary as a superstar and Harry M Miller, on track to sue the school, didn’t rate at all! Many parishes also benefited from her gifts. She worked mainly in Star of the Sea (Kirribilli), Our Lady of Mt Carmel (Coorparoo) and later in St Aloysius (Caulfield). On retirement, Mary spotted another opportunity. She was accepted in the first music therapy course offered at Melbourne Conservatorium. For many years she was friend and practitioner at a centre in Brisbane, known as SWARA. Her work came to the attention of the composer Malcolm Williamson, then Master of the Queen’s Music. He recommended her to the Nicholas Foundation and our enterprising Mary was funded to explore centres of excellence in this field in New York. Mary was always on the lookout for the best use of her gifts. And all the better if there was a bit of adventure attached! In 1972 she went with Sr Anne Byrne to Rome, Venice, Paris, Vienna, on a music tour which culminated in Budapest, where they observed the Kodaly method of music tuition. In Hungary, they contacted our IBVM sisters who were unable to live publicly as religious during the Communist regime. Mary was so touched by their plight that from that time until now, she sent clothing and money to these women. Only last year Chris Burke ibvm was able to visit Sr Madeleina, an old friend of Mary’s, and brought back photos and grateful wishes. The fact is Mary was a daring do-er, an entrepreneur of the best kind. Everything sprang from that vital cord within her of love, care and compassion, including her ‘ministry of letter writing’ which consumed hours of her time. She believed in ‘going to the top’, writing about matters of civic concern. There was her letter to the General Manager of Myer Brisbane, requesting that there be a Christmas window with real meaning. Standards were slipping! In fact the Province Archives hold letters to and from former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, Timothy Radcliffe OP, (then Master of the world wide Dominican Order); Yehudi Menuhin, Gai Waterhouse, Sir Anthony Hopkins, the Lady in Waiting to the Queen, and even the Papal Nuncio in Australia. Mary at the piano. Sr Mary Muirhead (far left) and Sr Deirdre Browne (far right) at Federation in Coorparoo in August 2009. Mary’s recent correspondence with the Governor General, Quentin Bryce, resulted in this important personage visiting her for afternoon tea earlier this year. In the relaxation of her senior years Mary could just be herself, enjoy a good chat, play the piano, share the newspaper with friends, find ways of putting her money down on a good nag for the Caulfield Cup (and hauling in the loot); pop down the street, pray and read. She was a gracious presence in so many people’s lives, always interested in our well being and forever grateful for any help she received. Thank you, thank you, thank you was a mantra in her life. Finally in the words of Carmel Dunne, recently retired Principal of Loreto Coorparoo: Mary was a woman of ideas who translated all that was good into music and soul. When she suffered she held herself even more regally, and crashed through pain. She loved her vocation and lived it out with daily commitment, sometimes dredging strength from the depth of her being. When in pain she offered that as well, and just got on with it. A woman of beauty, of brilliance and music. Thank you, Mary, for the gift of your life shared with us. It is all music. May you now join the best of the heavenly chorus, go to ‘the top’, and sing the words of the Loreto Holiday Hymn to Our Lady, with full delight: So shall we laugh in the latter day, O Causa Nostrae Laetitiae! Magnificat! Amen! Deirdre Browne ibvm 18.12.12 Loreto Chronicle – 3 Celebrating 85 years 1928 – 2013 A fter the Loreto Sisters arrived in Australia from Ireland in 1875, they established schools in Ballarat, Portland, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth before coming to Brisbane in 1927 at the invitation of Archbishop James Duhig. Six Loreto Sisters established a convent at “Kemendine” in Cavendish Road, a significant two storey colonial home with wide verandahs, previously occupied by Colonel Edward Deshon, C.M.G., a British Officer of the 68th Light Infantry. Built in 1889, this impressive house stood on a commanding hillside site overlooking the rolling hills of Coorparoo. In February 1928, the sisters opened their school in “Kemendine” with eight pupils. 1928 This photograph was taken in 1963 when the school was 35 years old. The house in the top left corner, now the site of the Mary Ward Centre, was the primary school, while the house in the top right corner (almost exactly where the new Year Level Building will stand) was used for drama and general classrooms. Many of the smaller buildings around the Casket Building were Army huts; a legacy of the war years, when the nuns and boarders were evacuated to a disused grammar school at Glen Innes, N.S.W., and Loreto Convent was used as a convalescent home for Australian Servicemen. The two buildings in this photograph which survive today are the Casket Building, funded by the proceeds of a winning Golden Casket ticket and completed in 1933, and the Administration Building, completed in 1954. 1963 This photograph was taken in 2003 to commemorate the school’s 75th year (staff still laugh when they remember the efforts made to ensure the girls’ hair was perfectly tidy!). Enormous change had occurred in the previous 40 years: both the primary school and boarding school had been phased out in the 70’s and “Kemendine” was demolished due to rotting timber supports and floorboards. The main classroom block was constructed over four stages; Babylon was built and then completely remodelled; the Mother Gonzaga Building and Chapel, featuring timbers and wrought iron from “Kemendine”, were added, followed by the Pool and the Mary Ward Centre. The grounds were also transformed with the construction of Deshon Oval and a crescent path at the front of the school replacing the original circular drive and a peaceful central courtyard at the heart of the school where “Kemendine” once stood. Since this photograph was taken, Mulwith has been constructed on the site of the previous convent. 2003 4 – Loreto Chronicle The story of Loreto College Coorparoo can be traced in the following photographs. A glimpse into the future The magnitude of the development which has transformed Loreto Coorparoo over the past 85 years brings perspective, courage and confidence to our planning for the future. The images below depict Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the newly released Master Plan. The Loreto College Coorparoo Master Plan Vision Stage 1 A unique opportunity to plan holistically for Year 7 and to establish a longer term Master Plan vision for the College that expands and supports the College curriculum whilst retaining the listed building and serene landscape qualities of the site. Thomson Adsett Specialist Design Practice Stage 1 will begin towards the end of 2013 and will include: • A new Year Level Building to the left of the circular drive; • Refurbishment and extension of the existing Home Economics and Textile rooms; • Remodelling the Tuckshop and upgrading the Undercroft; • Expanding the capacity of the student reception office; • Adding and improving staff study areas; and • Developing a new front reception area adjacent to the circular drive. Stage 2 Our medium term aims include: • Adding an auditorium to the new Year Level Building to create a Performing Arts Precinct with theatre capacity for 500; • Converting the lower level of the new Year Level building to a foyer/multipurpose space and sacred space; • Re-locating the Library to the Casket Building to create a central learning hub; • Re-development of the current Library as general learning spaces; • Shaded structures providing informal meeting areas and leafy suburban views. This Master Plan is the realisation of shared aspirations amongst our alumni, parents and friends, staff and students. It builds on the foundations of the past 85 years and its success depends on the vision, foresight and courage of College leaders and the generosity and support of the whole community. There are exciting years ahead!

He loves to dress up and adopt a role, showing comic timing and a sense of fun. He is also the consummate professional. We remember the man with the shopping bags full of marking; Julie Burgess Mrs Julie Burgess retired at the end of 2012 after 13 years at Loreto Coorparoo as Coordinator of Learning Support. Her teaching career in both the State and Catholic sectors took her to Queensland Kathy Hedemann Honour Pocket Awarded for Service to School Mrs Hedemann has unfailingly and generously fulfilled her role as the Head of the Loreto Library, making a significant contribution to the College since she began in 1975. Mrs Hedemann succeeded in making the Library a vibrant, friendly place where students felt welcome and stimulated. She embraced change, being an enthusiastic participant in several refurbishments of the Library and Margaret Neale Mrs Margaret Neale retired at the end of 2012 after 24 years at Loreto Coorparoo and a teaching career that spanned both the State and Catholic systems in Brisbane and Mt Isa. During her time at Loreto, she taught Chemistry, Science and Mathematics. Her students and colleagues were privileged to have an intelligent, highly qualified and gifted teacher in their midst. She was both 10 – Loreto Chronicle the man with the desk that resembled the seven cities of Troy! Alec reveres the power of language. He understands well the power of a good story which is a journey away from self and into empathy with others. He understands the beauty of poetry – of words that involve the whole of oneself – of words that evoke awe and wonder. Alec is a man of faith who has deep knowledge of scriptures and church. No one can deny his authenticity and deep sense of a relationship with God; he believes in the power of prayer both in a crisis and a celebration. Alec loves to have a chat – a good conversationalist and raconteur- and frequently his precious family would be a topic. Alec is a person of enormous intellect with wonderful ability in music and drama, but of great humility and respect for the work of others. towns large and small. Julie will be remembered by many students as the person who helped them thrive and succeed during their years at Loreto. She has been an inspiration and mentor to other staff in her Department and developed strong working relationships with Year Coordinators and the College Counsellor to ensure that students and families were given integrated and effective support. Julie was a passionate advocate for her students and for the principle of inclusion. She was professional, practical and effective in her work, always striving to provide students with opportunities to flourish. Julie also has a great sense of fun and many creative talents. Her skills as an accompanist were greatly valued, particularly in the preparation for several Loreto/Villanova musicals. We wish Julie every joy in her retirement and lots of time to garden and enjoy time with friends and family leading the integration of technology. Her felicitous nature shines through her passion for books, exploration and education, which has undoubtedly enriched learning for the many thousands of current and past students and staff of Loreto. Throughout her years in the Loreto Community, Mrs Hedemann has adopted the values and virtues of Mary Ward. Mrs Hedemann’s compassionate and caring disposition made her a perfect Year 8 Homeroom Teacher, instilling these same values into the Year 8 students, encouraging, inspiring and gently guiding them. Mrs Hedemann’s sense of fun and adventure is also admired by staff and students alike, especially in her participation in the Teacher’s Skit on Mission Day, in which those famous piggy tails never fail to return. Mrs Hedemann has been a loyal and valued member of staff and offered 38 and a half years of service to the school, in which she has enriched learning at Loreto, inspiring others to venture into the literary world. The qualities of sincerity, verity and felicity can be seen in all that Mrs Hedemann does and so we thank her for her leadership, her passion, her laughter and the example of life-long learning. She has been an integral part of Loreto and her outstanding service to school is to be commended. Written by Emmaline-Kate Ball & Laura Sclavos, College Captains 2013 (on behalf of Loreto students 1975 – 2013) meticulously organised and vibrantly energetic, capturing her classes and embedding mathematical and scientific concepts in their minds forever! For many years, Margaret held the position of Year 11 Coordinator, offering support, guidance and encouragement to many hundreds of students, as well as leadership and care to her team of Year 11 Homeroom teachers. Margaret is a wonderfully committed and loyal teacher, daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She is a true Mary Ward woman: felicitous, sincere, true and just. We wish her every joy and blessing in retirement. Alec, I hope you can look back on your years as a teacher with some sense of achievement, knowing that a traditional, genuine, knowledgeable teacher walked here, played his part and made a difference. We would like to thank you and wish you well in the future. The Way It Is This poem was used by Carmel Dunne to reflect on continuity and change at the retirement of Kathy Hedemann and Alec Raymond. There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen. People get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you can do can stop time’s unfolding. You don’t ever let go of the thread. William Stafford P & F Student Dance Creative ‘American’ costumes at the P&F Dance.

Loreto Chronicle – 11 Odds & Ends Claire Mohr (2007) has been elected as President of the University of Queensland Medical Society for 2013. Roslyn Franklin (Menhinnitt 1975) has just been awarded a Doctor of Philosophy from Griffith University. Her PhD thesis topic was “Making waves: Contesting the lifestyle marketing and sponsorship of female surfers”. This thesis looked at equity issues surrounding the sponsorship of female surfers in competitive surfing. Roslyn has been lecturing at Griffith University in Teacher Education and has been the Director of the Professional Experience Office for many years. She has recently been offered a position lecturing in Personal Development, Health and Physical Education at Southern Cross University on both the new Gold Coast campus and at Lismore campus and will start work there in June. PE was her original teaching area so she is looking forward to getting back to an area she is passionate about. Melissa Ambrosini (2003) has had an exciting 10 years since leaving Loreto! She has danced at the Moulin Rouge and starred in television shows such as Packed to the Rafters and Home & Away. She has recently written her first eBook – 12 Steps to Wellness – which describes her inner journey to happiness and wellbeing. She generously shared her story with current Year 12 students, speaking with them about the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. Sandra Drew (Morrow 1960) began at Loreto in 1953 and left in 1960. Her mother (Joyce Armstrong) was also a Loreto girl as were Sandra’s two sisters, Prue and Vicki. Sandra married the artist, the late William Drew, and has lived for most of the last four decades in Canterbury, England. She was the founder of the organisation, Stour Valley Arts, which is now internationally recognised and an important part of cultural life in South East England. She has been an influential figure in promoting the work of local artists and in making this accessible to the community for its enjoyment. It is this work that has earned her an MBE in the recent Queen’s Honours list. Barbara Gallagher (Kennedy 1952) passed away on January 22 at 77 years of age following a short battle with cancer. She attended Loreto Coorparoo from 1948 – 1952 and was an exemplary prefect in her senior year. A trained physiotherapist (UQ 1955), Barbara went on to work at Greenslopes Hospital, Glenn Innes and internationally. In 1960 Barbara married Orthopaedic Surgeon John Gallagher and mothered eight children. Barbara’s only daughter, Jane, also attended Loreto Coorparoo (1978). Barbara was a talented and nurturing woman who gave her time to organisations including Pregnancy Help and Meals on Wheels. Barbara leaves behind her eight loving children and 20 grandchildren and will forever be remembered by the Class of 1952. 12 – Loreto Chronicle M any of you responded to our recent mailing, asking for confirmation of contact details.
