House Volleyball

After five rounds of matches, the finals for House Volleyball were completed last week.  Most games were closely contested, with a number of the results being decided by one or two points. It was fantastic to see five different Houses represented in the play-off for 1st and 2nd place which led to a very close overall result. One point separated the top three teams overall with Ward finishing in first place and St Louis and Koolyangarra in equal second. Well done to all students who represented their Houses and a special congratulation to the Ward students. Thanks to Sport Captains Olivia and Harrison for their efforts in organising the competition.

Results:

Yr 7/8  -  Koolyangarra 1st Ward 2nd

Year 9/10  -  Ward 1st Campion 2nd

Year 11/12  -   Loyola 1st St Louis 2nd

Overall:   Ward 1st, St Louis and Koolyangarra 2nd

Loreto Water Run Fundraiser

A big thankyou to Loreto students, families and the wider community for contributing to the “Water-Run-Fundraiser”. Loreto House raised $3336.20. The proceeds of the funds raised have been split 50/50 to be shared between the Caritas East Africa Appeal and Majella Catholic Primary School’s swimming program.

Loreto Students from Year 7-12 participated in in a “Water Fun Run”, where the objective was to run an individual total of 5km and move as much water as possible from one end of the oval to the other. This target replicated the average distance predominately young girls in developing nations have to travel to fetch water on a daily basis, depriving them of an education.

The day was fun and highly spirited. Although the Year 12s controversy moved the most water, Year 7 and 8 Loreto were very competitive with going head to head with greatest distance travelled and funds raised. Year 7s were the eventual winners earning them a well-deserved sausage sizzle lunch this week.

Special mention to Shaila Miranda (Loreto 9) who single handily raised $334 and had 32 sponsors!

Other honourable efforts who raised $100+ dollars were;

Year 7: Emily Elkington, Amelia Loveridge, Jade Randall, Chloe Rodrigo

Year 8: Stella Kenny, Talei Macdougall, Jerome Nichols,

Year 10: Ruby Nichols

Year 11: Miles Lockwood

Year 12: Jamie Marshall, Claudia Thompson
