23.01.2022 We would like to invite our Loreto Community to join an online event on Tuesday 15 September at 6pm (next week) to listen to Dr Adam Fraser, an award-winning human performance researcher and consultant who studies how individuals thrive in challenging and evolving environments. This exclusive event for parents will provide tools to help parents and guardians to help their kids navigate a better and more robust relation with struggle and discomfort in order to evolve and stri...ve. Youll get a chance to hear the latest research on helping yourselves and your children navigate and ultimately have a better functional relationship with struggle.

23.01.2022 Our College received a heart-warming message from Old Scholar, Georgie Smith (12'). Please take a read below and we encourage you to follow the link to donate or register to run for a good cause! "Loreto played a huge role in making our wonderful friend and sister Amelia Smith, who has been living with brain cancer since 2011, in helping her throughout this ordeal. During Amelias school years [graduating in 2012], Loreto played a huge role in making her school experience as ...incredible as it was. We will never forget how included and welcomed Mill and her friends felt when navigating the wheelchair through every class room and school event. Continual effort and support went into school activities and events being accessible and fun for all access needs and she didnt miss out on a single thing. Millie went to her Year 12 formal, Year 12 Graduation, socials, parties and was a centre star on Athletics Day wheeling her way around for the 800m run. We never thought this could happen and we have the wonderful Loreto community and its values to thank for it. In 2014, a ramp was built to ensure further access to the Year 12 corridor. Along with many other support systems, Loreto provided a space where Amelias friendships could blossom and grow even through a very difficult time, and gave continual support when they needed it most. Loreto provided an inclusive and loving school experience for not only Amelia but for all her friends and her entire cohort. Wed love for anyone interested to join our run or donate via the link. Much love Georgie Smith and Isabelle Zerella" #proudtobeloreto https://www.connorsrun.com//wake-us-up-when-september-ends

19.01.2022 A few happy snaps of todays groovy dress-ups for Mission Day - a favourite day on the Loreto College calendar.

18.01.2022 Today is the College's version of the national R U Ok? Day. To include all students of various developmental ages, we have adapted the slogan to 'Let's smile and ask each other How R U?' as a way to build positive relationships and friendships with our peers at the College. Recently, our Year 12 Executive put together a beautiful video to send to our sisters at Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak and Loreto College, Ballarat to show just how much we are thinking of them in this di...fficult time. Take the time to look at the lovely messages our girls are sending their way. As for our community here at Loreto Marryatville, we can all take a step forward and grow as a community by asking ourselves and each other, "How are you?". Breaking the stigma around asking for help from friends, family and teachers will help make our community a happy and healthy one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf9N1y1M-4w #HowRUDay #proudtobeloreto

14.01.2022 Our girls in the Senior School are in for a week of creative thinking, skill development and exam trials. We roamed the classrooms today where our Year 9s are well underway with their Futures Project - a project specifically designed for Year 9 students at Loreto. The aim is to develop students knowledge across a range of disciplines in order to prepare them with the types of skills they will require in their post-school lives. With empathy at the heart of this project, students have been working in teams to develop a prototype in order to solve a societal problem they have identified. Throughout the week, the girls will develop business and marketing plans in order to pitch their idea to a client. Pitches will occur this Thursday...so stay tuned! #proudtobeloreto #FuturesProject2020 #girlseducation

14.01.2022 At the College, eSafety, the safe use of technology and the internet, is a significant priority in the education of our girls. In the current climate, the girls may be bombarded with, and enticed to engage with many sites and apps. These sites and apps are carefully marketed to appeal to younger populations but negatively can potentially place a girl in a vulnerable position that she isnt prepared for developmentally. Long term, the girls digital reputation may be negative...ly impacted as her footprint remains active. As educators and parents, it is critical that the girls are coached in a way to foster positive engagement online. The resources available under the SEAD tile eSafety on Loreto Connect, link our families to the most up to date and relevant information from experts in the field to ensure that families are well-informed with the latest e-safety information suitable for their daughters age group. We encourage you to visit this link for further information.

14.01.2022 It has been a very busy few weeks at our wonderful College, with many activities and events galore! Book Week 2020 has arrived at Loreto and we couldn’t wait to get started!

Tune into ABC news tonight at 7pm to hear more. https://www.abc.net.au//boarding-school-students-/12927244

13.01.2022 Its SCIENCE WEEK this week and our Year 4s ventured over to the Science Labs over in the Senior School to undertake a mineral practical!

Pretty cool! #proudtobeloreto

13.01.2022 During 2020, we have had 38 girls across the College participating in Aerobics. The girls have been learning their routine and developing fitness for the past eight months, and even with the challenges of COVID-19 and online learning, our girls have persisted with their training online until they were able to train together again. Their dedication to this wonderful sport was evident as they took to the stage for the first time in 2020 on Sunday. Five Loreto teams comprised o...f girls from Years 6-11 who competed in the Blitz It Aerobics Competition. Our LC Seniors received 1st Place in the Youth Large Aerobics Team category, LC Blaze received 1st place in the Cadet Large Aerobics Team category and the LC Soul Sisters received 2nd place in the Junior Large Aerobics Team category.

13.01.2022 What a week it has been working with the @adelaidecrowsfoundation as they delivered a comprehensive STEMFooty Program for our Year 7 cohort. Yesterday the girls were able to measure their reaction times using nine reaction light units and comparing their score to an AFL player, investigated trajectory of a football by changing the angle the ball is released at using a slingshot, how the football can be affected by weather conditions, using heart rate monitors and how increased heart rate affects performance as well as kicking and measuring. The girls have learnt a great deal throughout this program and we thank Katie Gloede, STEMFooty Program Manager at the Adelaide Crows for all your work in making this a successful program. #proudtobeloreto #STEMories #stem #stemfooty

13.01.2022 Well done to Portia, Lucinda, Poppy and Ruby for entering into the SAAS Cross Country Relay Championships on Wednesday this week, finishing in an incredible 4th place in 37.20sec. Well done girls! #proudtobeloreto

13.01.2022 Happy Thursday! Throughout the creative dance unit, our Year 7 students were taught a variety of Hip-Hop Dance techniques which have an emphasis on self-expression, creativity and enjoyment. Through this process, students develop rhythmic, coordination and creative skills necessary to the art of designing dance routines. The girls worked in groups of 3 or 4 and were given approximately five lessons to design, plan and practise a group routine to the music Uptown Funk. Each group was required to choreograph two verses of the song and perform this with the class chorus. Check out these funky dance moves! Well done girls! #proudtobeloreto

12.01.2022 Like a kid in a candy store, our science students across both our Junior and Senior campuses have been in awe at the new Scanning Electron Microscope we have stationed in our Physics Lab - just in time for Science Week! The microscope allows you to observe objects smaller than the human eye. By scanning a sample with an electron beam in a vacuum, it detects the signals produced from the sample and presents an enlarged image of the sample surface on a monitor screen. Can you... guess what these images are? The first image is the stinger of an inch ant, the second image is the bud of a native pine leaf and the third image is an up close shot of a Woolworths recyclable shopping bag! Our Year 12s had the chance to see different fibres up close today using the microscope. A very exciting experience for our girls! #proudtobeloreto

10.01.2022 Congratulations to Isabella (Year 4), Mia (Year 5), and Isabelle and Madeleine (Year 12) for being awarded prizes as part of the Oliphant Science Awards!

08.01.2022 YEAR 8 DESIGN THINKING CHALLENGE - Waste Management: this week, the Year 8 cohort are undertaken a design thinking challenge surrounding waste management. We popped into the Textiles Lab to see some of students working on group projects based on Fast Fashion. Fast Fashion is inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends...but is it worth it? Our Year 8s have been working collaboratively to identify problems within the fashio...n industry, and are devising possible solutions using a range of skills to produce prototypes. A few of the ideas include repurposing scrap materials, sustainable packaging and using natural dye instead of harsh chemicals. #proudtobeloreto #sustainability #designthinking
