1st Year Retreat
at Ballyvaloo
Report by first years ... Egle
Matuzaite & Julie Ann Malone
We had our first year retreat at Ballyvaloo Curacloe at the end
of September.
To start the day off, we had a
talk with Fr. Jim. During this
talk we watched a clip from
Toy Story. In this clip we
learnt about friendship and
teamwork.
We then went with our teacher to
meditate. We went to a prayer
room where our teacher played
peaceful music while reading a
passage from a book to help us
relax.
After meditating, the
Meitheal leaders arrived
to take us to the beach for some
activities.
At the beach we played games and
did an exercise on teamwork.
Once we got back from the beach
we had some lunch.
After lunch, Sr. Carmel came to
teach us the values of Mary
Ward. We also split into
groups where we each acted out a
drama on a certain topic. We
also learned many new things
about Loreto. Ms. Young then
came in and explained to us
about the support structures in
Loreto.
Once Ms. Young left, Fr. Jim
came in and helped us to
organise our own Mass. We were
split into groups again and
given certain jobs to do
throughout the Mass, such as the
Choir Group, Readings and
Offertory.
Once we celebrated Mass, the
Meitheal leaders came back and
gave us friendship bracelets.
It was a great day and everyone
really enjoyed it.
We are all very grateful for the
effort put in to organising the
retreats for us.
Thank you!

Beginning
of Year Mass 2011 Report by Ms.
Michelle Jordan
The Beginning of Year Mass was
celebrated in Rowe Street Church
by our school chaplain
Fr. Jim Fegan on Tuesday 27th
September. The theme of our Mass
was ‘Fulfilling Our Potential’.
As usual, the first years played
a very important role in this
celebration as they were
welcomed into our school
community. Our Head Girl Ríona
O’Connell and Deputy Head Girl
Andrea Rath emphasised this
welcome in their opening address
and offered encouragement to
each year group. Sr. Carmel
delivered an inspirational
homily while the school choir
and musicians provided the
beautiful singing and music
accompanied by Ms Walton.
A particular highlight of the
mass was the school choir’s
rendition of ‘Hail Holy Queen of
Mercy’ from ‘Sister Act’, which
was enthusiastically conducted
by Fr. Jim and had the entire
congregation clapping along. The
first year prefects and sixth
year representatives took part
in
a meaningful Communion
Reflection. Four candles
representing our potential,
friendship, wisdom and the Mary
Ward values were held by the
prefects and lit by the sixth
years. This conveyed the sixth
years’ understanding of their
responsibility to pass on these
values to our new first years so
that they may be happy and
successful and fully embrace all
that Loreto has to offer.
It is this idea of passing on
important lessons and values to
each other that lies at the
heart of our school ethos.
After the Mass, Mr. O’Shea
presented prefects,
vice-prefects, student council
members,
Meitheal leaders, Head Girl and
Deputy Head Girl with their
badges and thanked them for
their invaluable contribution to
school life.
We wish all these students the
best of luck in their work in
the year ahead and thank
sincerely all those who
participated in the mass this
year.
