24/06/2012 JUNIOR PRIZEGIVING AT LORETO COLLEGE COLERAINE
The annual Junior Prizegiving was held at Loreto College Coleraine on Thursday 21st June, as the academic year drew towards its conclusion. The Prizegiving highlights the academic, personal, extra-curricular and inter-personal successes of the Year 8-10 students of the College and is a celebration and commendation of these achievements and qualities.
Welcoming the Year 8-10 students and their teachers to the Prizegiving, Mr Michael James, Principal of Loreto College, said:
‘I am delighted to welcome you all to our Junior Prize-giving at the end of another very busy and eventful year for the College, a year for me that seems to have flown past. This has been a particularly busy year with several new challenges facing the school. Swingeing government cuts were announced in December last year and the school has had to adjust to a reduction in its funding. Many of you will also have read stories in the press or heard relatives discussing the proposed changes for education in the Coleraine area, both for primary and post-primary schools. For parents with children of school age, these proposed changes have raised countless questions and great uncertainty. Loreto College is not immune from these changes and in many respects is playing a central role in them. Several years ago our Board of Governors made a decision to move our school away from academic selection towards a more inclusive form of education. For some it seemed a strange decision, but for our governors it was relatively straight forward. Loreto College is part of a world-wide network of schools, which at the turn of the millennium gathered in Kolkakta, India, to consider how young people should be educated in the new millennium. This resulted in the Kolkata Guidelines, a document which guides Loreto Education across the world.
‘Our school here and every Loreto school in Ireland and around the world have, at their centres, a set of values that we try, each day, to instil in you. These values of LOVE, JOY, SINCERITY, JUSTICE and TRUTH are at the core of the Kolkata guidelines and promote an education system which is inclusive of everyone. Therefore, any system which selects based on academic ability naturally contradicts this inclusive ethos. As the changes from Area Based Planning and The Post-Primary Review have become clearer it is obvious that the Governors’ decision fits in well with the grander scheme of things. In any proposal it is interesting to note that Loreto College has been identified as the single school to deliver Catholic education in Coleraine and we are delighted that both the Catholic Bishops and the Department of Education recognise the strength of our school.
‘Change can be unsettling and in the midst of all these proposed changes the challenge for us is quite simply to keep sight of you, the pupils in the classroom, the focus for all that we do in school. So how do our Governors decision and the recent proposals affect you as students in Loreto? Well in many ways there will be little impact for you our current pupils. Any changes will evolve and develop slowly as our intake gradually becomes all ability from 2013. We need to hold on to what has already been proven, retaining and building upon what is good, wholesome and healthy. In this respect you will still have the same teachers, the same curriculum and the same opportunities that you enjoy now. Your teachers will still have the same high expectations and push you to achieve the best results possible. Our standards of uniform, behaviour and our distinctive ethos are firmly established and will not change. But it would be foolish and complacent to take this for granted and that is why the school has been planning and preparing for the last number of years. We are confident that we will continue to provide a first class education for any student who comes to us, whether or not they are aiming to go to University and need top A level grades to do so.
‘Of course academic achievement will still have great importance and that is why we take time today to celebrate the achievements of students who have excelled in some way in this current academic year. It is very important that you, the pupils, have this opportunity to celebrate and take pride in the achievements of the school, your school, over the last year. I congratulate you for your diligence and hard work throughout the year and in preparation for the summer examinations. If we all try to do the best we can and if we do the simple things well, then we can all achieve to the best of our ability.
‘However, school life is about much more than academic achievements, important as they are. It is also about developing you as young people and helping you to realise your hopes and your dreams. I am delighted with your participation in the life of the College. There are so many extra curricular activities, clubs and competitions, and it is satisfying to witness the enjoyment and friendships you get out of these, not to mention the numerous successes. Who can forget the fantastic performances of Guys & Dolls or the heroic efforts of the Y9 Gaelic Team, winning the Mallon cup recently? Your participation in all of our extracurricular activities brings a great richness and diversity to the school.
‘I know that this school year is coming to an end, but I would encourage all of you to get involved next year in some of the many extra curricular activities that the school provides every day of every week. You will have an opportunity to make new friends, travel to different places, learn to be a team member and grow in confidence and self-belief.
‘In the future, however, the true test of your education in this school will not be your examination certificates or what you have won and achieved. It will be how you have grown and developed as a person and how you use your talents and abilities to help others. One of the ways in which all of you contribute to this in school is your generosity in supporting the school’s designated charities and by contributing to our charities you are, in a small way, supporting those less fortunate than yourselves. This year so far you have raised £17, 482.73 and I congratulate you on such a wonderful total.
‘Every school year brings its challenges, its highs and lows. We remember the loss of family members and friends amongst our staff and pupils and the passing of Mrs Kate Mc Sherry. Although a part-time teacher, Mrs Mc Sherry was at the very heart of the English department and of school life. She was a wonderful teacher and even more wonderful human being. She will be sadly missed.
‘On your behalf I would like to pay tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the teaching staff. Every day they work to the very best of their ability in the interests of you, the students. I feel proud and honoured to have them as teachers in our school and I am confident that they provide a truly outstanding level of service. I commend them to you and thank them on your behalf.
‘I cannot leave our teachers without paying tribute to two teachers who will be leaving us this year and who have given outstanding service to the school. Between them they have over fifty years teaching service here in Loreto and, as past pupils of the school as well, it would seem that there has hardly been a time when they have not been at Loreto. Mrs Diamond has taught a multitude of subjects over the year’s ranging from Modern Languages to History and RE as well as more recently Careers. Mrs Ahern has been a stalwart of the English Department over many years and is the longest serving Year Head in the school. Both of these teachers are living embodiments of the Loreto Ethos and their dedication, their passion and enthusiasm for their subjects and their genuine concern for the pupils will be missed next year. Again, on your behalf, I thank them for all that they have brought to the school in their many years of teaching.
‘Our support staff also play a vitally important role in the service of our students, often working quietly in the background to maintain the quality of services, buildings and grounds. My thanks to Mrs McDonnell, the Librarian; Mr Lynn, the Bursar and Mrs McGuckian, the Bursar’s assistant; Mrs Maxwell, Mrs Dougan, my own secretary; Miss Stewart, Office Manager; Mr Otterson, Senior Technician on behalf of all the technicians; Mrs Johnston and Mrs West, Classroom Assistants; Mr Weir and Mr Mullan, Caretakers; Mr Turner, Groundsman and Miss McCann, Head Cook on behalf of all the canteen staff. Again I would pay tribute to Mr Mullan one of our caretakers and Mr Montgomery our Chemistry Technician, who are both leaving this year after many years of service to the school and to you the pupils. Thanks also to our visiting Priests and the Religious Education Department for the time and effort they put into organising the liturgies, retreats and seminars throughout the year. Each of these events add so much to our school life.
‘My thanks also to our Governors. The Governors give generously of their time and expertise in making the many important and often onerous decisions in the best interests of the College and its students.
‘My thanks, as always, to the Loreto Community both here in Coleraine and further afield. Their prayers and support this year and every year are a valuable source of strength and their presence in the convent is a constant reminder of our ethos and connection to a wider family.
‘Finally my thanks to you, the pupils, for your support throughout my first year as Principal. This is your school and you are what make it so wonderful – I cannot thank you enough for your courtesy and pleasant manner. You are the future of our society and whether or not you have gained an award here today, you are all important members of our school and we greatly appreciate your own special talents and qualities. Thank you all for making our school so special.’

Welcoming the Year 8-10 students and their teachers to the Prizegiving, Mr Michael James, Principal of Loreto College, said:
‘I am delighted to welcome you all to our Junior Prize-giving at the end of another very busy and eventful year for the College, a year for me that seems to have flown past.
