Our College vision and mission continues to drive our policies and procedures. This Parent Handbook is one of the tools to give parents necessary information regarding College procedures and annual organisational structures and personnel. It compliments the Student Handbook which is distributed to the girls at the beginning of Term 1. In keeping with our philosophy of continually improving communication and forming positive partnerships with our families, we see mutual responsibility for providing up-to-date, relevant and appropriate information. The Parent Handbook goes hand in hand with other College documents, such as the Studies Guide and Policies Handbook, all of which are available on the Parent Lounge and College website www.loreto.qld.edu.au I commend this handbook to you as an important resource and look forward to working with you to ensure your family’s Loreto journey is one of personal and spiritual growth, commitment and service. I wish you a happy and productive 2018.

The Loreto Crest is older than the history of Loreto in Australia. It is made up of four symbols which hold an important place in the lives of all Catholics: the Cross, which is a sign of Christ; the Sacred Heart, which symbolizes the unfailing love of God; the Anchor of Hope, an old symbol for Mary and for the promise of Christ to be with His people always; and the Heart of Mary, who provides an example for all. The Latin words Maria Regina Angelorum mean Mary, Queen of the Angels and the motto Cruci dum spiro fido means, As long as I live I place my trust in the Cross –signifying an understanding of the centrality of Christ. HISTORY OF LORETO The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM) was founded by an Englishwoman, Mary Ward, in 1609. By that time, the Reformation had taken a strong hold in England, thus the opportunity for religious life or religious education for women was severely restricted. Mary Ward was called by God to do something more than ordinary in responding to her religious vocation. Initially she felt drawn to the contemplative life, but gradually her vocation emerged as an active apostolic response to the needs of the time. Together with a group of six like-minded companions, she established a religious community of women dedicated to care of the faith through the Catholic education of girls and any other means congruous to the times. Modelled on the Society of Jesus and essentially missionary in character, the young Institute was marked by several innovative features: the group was to be governed by a woman; it was to be free from the restrictions of strict monastic enclosure and its members were to dress in the manner of ordinary women of the time. Such features proved too controversial for the Church authorities and Pope Urban VIII finally suppressed the Institute in 1631. With their leader Mary Ward imprisoned as a heretic and many members dispersed, it seemed as if the Institute was at an end. But on her release from prison, Mary gathered a few companions to live in community with her under the protection of the Pope. From this tentative beginning emerged an Institute, governed under three Generalates, with works of service in all five continents. The year 2003 saw the historic reunion of the Irish and North American Provinces so that the Institute now has two Generalates and works in 16 countries. From the start, the education of women has been a central concern of the IBVM. True to the spirit of Mary Ward, this Institute is committed to care of the faith through the education of girls and other means demanded by the times, reflecting, in whatever works it undertakes, her emphasis on verity, felicity, freedom, justice and sincerity. The Australian foundation was made from Ireland in 1875 by Mary Gonzaga Barry. From her first foundations in Ballarat, she set the pattern by establishing the equivalent of parish primary schools and primary-secondary day and boarding schools. Committed to providing a Catholic, liberal education, these schools encouraged students to discover and build on their natural gifts and to acquire those qualities of mind and heart which would enable them to be of service to the Australian Church and society. Loreto College Coorparoo remembers its origins by naming its Houses after significant people: Mary Ward, Mother Gonzaga Barry, Mother Stanislaus Mulhall (the first Novice Mistress in Australia and the second Mother Provincial) and Mother Stanislaus Mornane (the first Australian to join the Institute). Felicity Sincerity Justice Verity Freedom Page 3 Parent Handbook 2018 LORETO COLLEGE COORPAROO Towards the end of 1927, Archbishop Duhig approached Mother Provincial (Mother Teresa Gertrude) regarding a foundation in Brisbane. Mother Teresa Gertrude and Mother Philomena travelled to Queensland in September 1927 to look for a site. The Archbishop took them to see the Deshon home, Kemendine, built in 1885. Early in December a group of nuns came to Coorparoo to make ready the house which was to open as a school in the following January. School opened about 26 January 1928 with seven pupils. By January 1929 the school had increased to 40 students. Not long after the opening of the school, a lucky Casket ticket, bought for the nuns by Alice Cummins, won £5000. This money enabled the nuns to finance the classroom block which came to be known as the Casket Building. At the end of 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbour, it was decided to move the school inland. Glen Innes was chosen as a suitable site. During this time the Australian Armed Forces took over the Cavendish Road Loreto Convent as a Convalescent Hospital for injured soldiers. In 1944, Loreto returned to Coorparoo and life went on. Since then, Loreto Coorparoo has grown steadily and whilst both the primary and boarding schools were phased out by 1979, the secondary day school has continued to flourish. In 2015, Year 7 became part of secondary schooling in Queensland and the College now has a population of just over 800 students with a staff of more than 100. In 1986 the Loreto Advisory Board was established and a School Council was inaugurated in 1993. To provide necessary facilities for Music, Drama and Physical Education as well as a large assembly area, the Mary Ward Centre was opened in August 1991. The Deshon oval was established at the front of the school in 1993. In 1997 four Technology Rooms were added and the Home Economics and Tuckshop areas expanded and relocated. A major expansion of the Science facilities was completed in 2000 and a refurbishment of the Library and Art Rooms was completed in 2004. In 2009, Mulwith, named after the birth place of Mary Ward, was completed on the site of the old Convent on the corner of Dale and Lade Streets.
