Mother Gonzaga kept in touch with both present and past students throughher letters published regularly in the Mary’s Mount school magazine called Eucalyptus Blossoms. It was in her letter of 8th December 1987, with “Federation being the topic of the day”, that she wrote: “Would it not be a good thing for all Loreto girls to Federate ina great league for a noble end, viz: to work out patiently, steudily, faithfully, high and holy aims in the daily routine of life’s duties? ... Federate to lend a helping hand to whatever is good and beautiful, noble and useful in the world around. It may seem to you that you cannot do much, butyou will do much if you do all you can, and do it with a great and generous heart ... and do it for God’s dear sake. Federate so as to share in all the good that is done by each ...... Aim at something excellent; our life is largely influenced by what we aim at, - our ideals often make our realities. Have enthusiasm for your cause .... Be earnest, be persevering,humble, and then with God’s aid you will succeed.” 2 FOREWARD Mother Gonzaga Barry IBVM, who brought the Loreto Sisters to Australia in 1875, formulated a vision of Loreto Federation Australia. She wrote about it in the magazine “Eucalyptus Blossoms” in 1897. Her enthusiasm was for all Loreto girls to federate “in a great league for a noble end.” Fifty nine years later Mrs. Moira Dynon’s energy and leadership was the driving force behind the first Federation Conference of Loreto Past Students’ Associations held in Melbourne in 1955. Credit is due to these two women for the initiation and inspiration of Loreto Federation Australia. This compilation of the events of Loreto Federation Australia Conferences has been made at the suggestion of Sister Deirdre Browne as the then Provincial of the Loreto Sisters in Australia to commemorate the 50 years of such Conferences. Programmes have been reproduced from Federation Brochures – which have become more sophisticated as printing processes have advanced. Some Conferences, more than others, had more material available for reproduction and some of these resources have been quoted where suitable. Many of the lectures have been available in print or electronic format, but none has been reproduced in this compilation. This is because material presented at Federation meetings has been representative of the times in which they were presented. A good illustration of this has been the difference between input given before Vatican 11 and that presented in the 21st Century. The extent of change over fifty years has been rapid in Church and society. Thanks are due to the Archivists of the various schools and the Province Archivists for assistance in locating materials. Thank you to Sister Susan Daily IBVM who designed the cover and to Margôt Dwyer, Annette Benaud and Sister Yvonne Lamerand IBVM for their expertise and generous assistance in enabling this publication to be completed. It is hoped that this production is a tribute to the Loreto Federation Australia Committee members for their years of dedication to planning and mounting Loreto Conferences. The gratitude of participants is only one of the many fruits of the Meetings – may many people continue to gather in Loreto Federation Conferences and quoting from the 1992 Conference Theme may they be. “Remembering the past with gratitude Recognizing the present with appreciation Looking to the future with hope.” Regina Cameron IBVM Loreto Kirribilli May, 2007 3 LORETO FEDERATION IN AUSTRALIA The Federation of the Australian States in 1900 may be considered the first act of Federation in Australia, but Mother Gonzaga Barry, the First Provincial of the Loreto Sisters in Australia wrote about Federation to the Loreto Past Pupils in 1897. On 8th December in that year Mother Gonzaga wrote that there are various kinds of Federation. She said that the dictionary would tell you that Federation means a league, a compact, or the act of uniting in a league. The letter continues: “Now would it not be a good thing for all Loreto girls to Federate in a great league for a noble end, viz, to work out patiently, steadily, faithfully, high and holy aims in the daily routine of life’s duties.” Mother Gonzaga’s letter then followed with seven reasons to Federate. Some of the seven points not only give reasons to Federate, but also some of the ways in which this might be done. 1. Federate, Sydney with Perth, Melbourne with Ballarat; Randwick, near the blue waters of Botany Bay, with Portland, facing the Great Southern Ocean. 2. Federate, to lend a helping hand to whatever is good and beautiful, noble and useful in the world around. 3. Federate, for the cause of common sense and usefulness; unite against all affectation, extravagance, duplicity, dangerous reading, conversation or amusement, extremes in fashion of dress, uncharitableness, selfishness, idleness. 4. Federate, to prove that genuine piety is a lovely thing – that true religion is a rich treasure to its happy possessor, beautifying and ennobling all natural virtues, correcting natural defects, as far as they can be corrected. 5. Federate, little army of Loreto Girls, to be loyal and true to your Alma Mater, yet not aggressively so. 6. Federate, to share in all the good that is done by each. 7. Federate, for something good, with one other, if you cannot get more; but set before you at the outset a something that will ennoble your life, your thoughts, your endeavours. Aim at something excellent; our life is largely influenced by what we aim at, - our ideals often make our realities. Have enthusiasm for your cause, nothing of much worth is attained without enthusiasm. 1. 1. A Collection of Letters – Mary J. Gonzaga Barry IBVM. This letter was written on 8th December, 1897 4 1898 FIRST LORETO REUNION LORETO ALBERT PARK In her Christmas letter in Eucalyptus Blossoms in 1898, Mother Gonzaga describes this first Reunion of Past Pupils. Cup Week had been chosen as many from a distance visited Melbourne at that time. Mother Gonzaga records that in spite of no “scarcity of cold water and wet blankets sufficient to extinguish the fire of an enthusiast” seventy-six Past Pupils assembled and enjoyed an evening of entertainment on the 4th November, 1898. 5 A BRIEF HISTORY OF LORETO FEDERATION AUSTRALIA The Loreto Federation Australia was founded in Melbourne in 1955 and is composed of Loreto Past Pupils’ Associations throughout Australia. The foundation members of the Federation were the Past Pupils Associations of the Catholic secondary schools, conducted in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland by the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM). As a national body, representing the State Associations, the Federation was originally formed to give service to God, to take an active role in national affairs and to act for the welfare and in the interest of the citizens of Australia. Uniting the resources of the Loreto schools in each State and the experience of graduated students, the Federation has evolved into a vital organization which links the schools and the communities through a range of activities organized at the local level. The major national event is the Loreto Federation Conference which has been held biennially, since 1955. Every two years the headquarters of the Federation moves interstate, rotating through the member Associations. Historically it has been the current Association which has hosted the Biennial Conference. Each Conference addresses a theme related to current needs and issues and a major outcome of recent Conferences has been to identify and pursue a plan of action formulated at the Conference, which will contribute in a concrete and practical way to helping provide for the perceived needs of the community. The 1992 Conference was held in Sydney and titled “Towards 2000 - Changes and Challenges”. This resulted in the current plight of rural women in drought-stricken areas being targeted. The focus of this 1994 Conference reflects the United Nations’ theme of the family in its title, “Re-inventing the Family”.

  • 1 Transcript of the Principal's Message
    Transcript of the Principal’s Message – 21 May 2021 Good afternoon to all members of the Loreto Normanhurst community, it's wonderful to be with you again today and for this newsletter to be reaching you. The cooler mornings, but these gloriously sunny days. And hopefully the sunshine is reaching you and your families as well. I'm here today, just outside our beautiful boarding school, to mark the fact that we're finishing up National Boarding Week. And in fact, today, Friday, the focus across Australia is to acknowledge and to recognise all staff who work in boarding schools across Australia. And so I'd like to start by thanking the remarkable people who work at Loreto Normanhurst, in the boarding capacity, and all of our partners who partner with us to enable our offering of boarding here at the school. So thank you to the staff who care for our boarders daily, nightly, and across every day of the week. It's been a wonderful way of celebrating who we are as a school community, by having that focus on National Boarding Week this week. We had Behind the Boarders at assembly, and hearing a little bit more about our boarders and where they come from. We've had skipping, we've had fun runs. We've had lots of things going on. And I, myself, have just returned from the first of the Principal's Country Road Trips, having spent four days in Central West and north western New South Wales, visiting our families, catching up with ex-students and past parents, and talking to a couple of families who are looking to have their girls come to Loreto Normanhurst in the next few years.

I had been to Dili and Baucau in May 2005, and while the results of the earlier crisis were all too obvious, one could allow oneself the hope that the future would be brighter. Not this time. On arrival the army tents, the refugee camps in the airport, religious houses, and church grounds all look set in for the long haul. Further into Dili, more burnt out L­R: Sr Anne Byrne, Sr Chris Burke, houses give substance to the fears and loss of Sr Diaan Stuart. so many.
