From the Assistant Principal: Faith & Identity

By Felicity Knobel

Term 2 can be a challenging term, the weather is progressively getting colder and our days are getting shorter. Living in Ballarat requires resilience at this time of year. Our students at Loreto College do not let this slow them down. In this newsletter we have included our year 12 captains to report on just some of the happenings at our College throughout this term. Our leadership program is becoming more and more prominent. We ask our students to be emulate an open circle of friends and also an understanding of servant leadership. These elements are all part of who we are as people of Loreto.

Mother’s Day 

By Caitlin McConchie - Liturgy Captain

On Saturday the 3rd of May, we celebrated our annual Mother’s Day Liturgy - a special afternoon where the Chapel was filled with students, mothers, grandmothers, and other cherished women in our lives. It was a beautiful chance to pause and reflect on just how much they do for us, and how big of a role they play in our lives. After the Liturgy, guests enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea, which gave everyone the opportunity to relax, chat, and share some lovely moments together.  

Clothing Exchange

By Summer Ottini - Sustainability Captain

A big thank you to everyone who donated a second-hand coat or blanket for the Uniting Winter Appeal. Your kindness from the coat and blanket drive will help keep those in need warm during this winter season. Also, The Loreto Clothing Exchange turned out to be a fantastic success, as students brought in clean, pre-loved clothes to trade with one another. These contributions made a positive impact by reducing fast fashion and giving our old clothes a new purpose for someone else.
