Dear Members of the Loyola College Community,

As we approach the half way mark of this term, College life continues to be busy as we witness the many activities and important events that have taken place in the last fortnight. With the Olympics coming to a close this coming weekend I know we will all be supporting former student Monica Brennan (L: 06-11) as she competes for Australia in Rio in the 4 x 400 metre relay on Saturday. Good luck to Monica and the team!!!

The Cage I congratulate the senior students who volunteered to be caged up for 24 hours over Wednesday and Thursday of last week to bring attention to the plight of the homeless in our community. The students were joined by senior students from Xavier College, Kew, like Loyola, a Jesuit Companion school. A number of our senior students also went to Xavier College to be in their cage with their senior students. I thank Mr Lynch, Deputy Principal ~ Ignatian Mission and Identity as well as all staff who supported this event.

Winter Sleep out Congratulations to the senior students who participated in the winter sleep out last week. Raising awareness of the plight of the marginalised and the poor is necessary if we are to change society values and live out our faith to improve the quality of life for others. I thank Mr Lynch (Deputy Principal ~ Ignatian Mission and Identity) for overseeing the organisation and all the staff who assisted with the supervision of the students.

Parent Seminar: Positive Psychology Evening for Year 7 Parents and Students This event was held last week in the Companions Hall and was very well attended by parents and students and I thank Mrs Stylli and the Magis Committee as well as the presenters Mrs Salmic, Mr Valentino, Mrs Stringer and all staff who attended and assisted.

Year 11 Leadership Day On Tuesday of this week a special Leadership Day was held for our Year 11 students to enable them to consider both their role as leaders in Year 12 next year and their commitment to becoming specific student leaders in 2017. Students were presented with the model of Servant Leadership as the best model suited in a Catholic school. Students were challenged to consider what it means for them to be a leader in an Ignatian school. I am confident that we will have many wonderful Year 12 leaders from this group next year. I thank Mrs Salmic who oversaw the running of leadership program this year.

Staffing Matters: We welcome Ms Need to the staff who will take on the role of Special Education teacher.

We farewell and thank Ms Nash who will be concluding her time in Student Services to move to a position in another school.. Feast of the Assumption This week the Church celebrated the feast of the Assumption recalling that Mary, the mother of Jesus was taken into heaven body and soul. This feast day honours Mary for the role she played in saying yes to God in accepting to become the mother of our Lord. Mary willingly accepted God’s plan for her and trusted fully in that plan despite many obstacles. In saying ‘yes’ to God she enabled God’s plan to bring Jesus into the world. We believe that God has a plan for each one of us and that we can realise that plan through listening to God speak to us is in prayer and through the world around us. In our Ignatian tradition we are minded to ‘see God in all things’.

St Ignatius had a great affection for Mary and he often prayed to Mary for the strength to do God’s will so as to fulfil God’s plan for him. He found great comfort in seeking her intercession. May we do the same.

May Mary continue to be our guide, our Heavenly Mother, and show us the way to loving Jesus more deeply in our lives.

Congratulations to Elena Fragapane Elena Fragapane (L 10 -15) is the recipient of the 2016 Colin McCormick Italian Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is offered through the University of Melbourne and is awarded annually to a post VCE student who intends to study Italian at the tertiary level. The presentation ceremony took place at Loyola in August and was attended by Loyola staff, university staff, family members and the members of the scholarship committee. We congratulate Elena on this wonderful achievement.

Most are under thirty, both male and female, and from a diverse range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. They are on the streets for a range of reasons including unemployment, family breakdown, mental health and other health issues, drug and alcohol dependency and in many cases, just unfortunate circumstances.

The students had their dinner at ‘Lentil as Anything’ in Abbotsford. This is a vegetarian restaurant where there are no prices and people are invited to pay what they can afford or what they think the meal is worth.

This bountiful philosophy not only provides healthy fare to those in need, but it also brings together an eclectic mix of people to share food, music and conversation.

Our Loyola students certainly enjoyed the experience.

A ‘Maffle’ was held at the start of the week to acknowledge Allana Davies (11 XLCH) and celebrate the great work ethic shown by our Year 7 and 8 students.

Once in the building we received ‘gift bags’ which consisted of various maths magazines and then headed down to the theatre room where we got to hear two lectures from Melbourne University graduates telling us about their jobs. First was a Bioengineer who told us about how he studies and makes connections with genetics, next was a bush fire analyst who showed us how they determined ember damage.

After this we were given a delicious morning tea from Bakers Delight and then returned to the hall for a two-hour maths

competition and some funny yet cringe worthy maths jokes. Although we didn’t get into the top three we still did quite well

with the help of Mr Wambeek at certain moments. Soon enough lunch time arrived, although we brought lunches, we were brought coffee and desserts from Mr Wambeek while he gave us a tour of the university.

We returned to the hall for a few final speeches from various people who worked in Biosecurity and Bioengineering for a good end to the day. Overall it was a very enjoyable and informative experience, and a great substitute to cross country.
