1928 – 2013Celebrating 85 years

Justice PrayerLoving 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. Amen. (Australian Loreto Student Leaders)

In 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.

From the Principal

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

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.”

The Year of Justice

Stage One: A new Year Level building, featuring a bronze curved screen, architecturally expressing musicality, theatre and performance. The partial screening provides a series of learning environments and external settings where students can interact and socialise. The ground floor of this building will eventually become the foyer for The Performing Arts Theatre.

Early 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 Coorparoo Development Office. Catherine has hit the ground running and she looks forward to keeping our 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].

Future Stage: The addition of a Performing Arts Theatre and transformation of the ground floor of the Year Level building to a foyer.

Community Relations & Development Manager Catherine Shipton

2 – Loreto Chronicle

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.

The New Development Office

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

loving improvement. With the support of the entire community, I know that together we can and will make a lasting difference “beyond today”.

Sr Mary Muirhead ibvm

Sr Mary Muirhead (far left) and Sr Deirdre Browne (far right) at Federation in Coorparoo in August 2009.

In 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

This is an edited extract from Sr Deirdre Browne’s Eulogy for Sr Mary Muirhead.

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’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!

1928 – 2013Celebrating 85 yearsAfter 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.

The story of Loreto College Coorparoo can be traced in the following photographs.

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.

1928

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.

Stage 1

Stage 2

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.

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/multi-purpose 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!

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.

Written by Emmaline-Kate Ball & Laura Sclavos, College Captains 2013 (on behalf of Loreto students 1975 – 2013)

The Way It IsThis 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.

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.

Calling all Loreto Coorparoo Old Boys!It’s not something that’s obvious

today but did you know that Loreto Coorparoo has educated generations of boys right up to 1971? Many of them have stayed in touch and have an active involvement with the College.

Our female Past Pupils are very active in getting together for reunions, putting the Old Boys somewhat to shame! So gentlemen, here’s your chance to show the ladies how it’s done! We are calling for ‘Expressions of Interest’ for an Old Boys’ Reunion in 2014. All alum years are most welcome.
