Loyola Parents and Friends Association 2024 Fundraising Event - Bogan Bingo

The Loyola Parents and Friends Association Bogan Bingo Night, held at Loyola Companions Hall on Saturday, September 7, was a fantastic success! The evening was filled with laughter and plenty of fun games that brought a unique twist to the traditional Bingo. It was a night to remember for all who attended.

A big thank you to the dedicated LPFA sub committee members who made the event possible, especially the hardworking sub-committee of Dianna Alonso, Loretta Baker, Domenic Carbone, Julie Gardner, Lisa Grant, Mina Paterra, and Lisa Zammit. Your efforts were truly appreciated. Thank you also to the LPFA Committee who collected prize donations, were present for set up and on the night to sell raffle tickets, serve at the bar, and helped with the smooth running of the night: Claire Baker, Christine Di Pasquale, Liz Karanfilovska, Des Mavridis, Mark Monteneri and Lou Taneski.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to everyone who attended the night, dressed up and supported the LPFA in its fundraising efforts. Your participation helps make these events possible, and we are so grateful for your ongoing support.

Philippines Immersion Visit - Short Term Cultural Experience

We recently welcomed and hosted thirteen students, from Jesus Good Shepherd School in the Philippines while on Immersion. The students were accompanied by two staff and three parents and enjoyed two weeks of very valuable learning experiences and enriching encounters with their host families, day buddies and many staff and students at Loyola. Thank you to Mrs Leutchford for her support of the program; and to Sr Nelia, Mr Calderone, Mr McIlroy, Ms Veis, Mr Tran, Mr McEvoy, Ms Gartland, Ms Chapman and the Hospitality students who attended excursions, ran programs and hosted a lovely dinner at Iggy’s.

Thank you to the four families who so generously opened their homes to the students during the immersion experience. Their warmth and hospitality provided not only a comfortable place to stay but also a rich array of experiences, from exploring Melbourne’s sights to participating in local sports. This kindness was also extended to the students who were hosted by Loyola at Arrupe House. Each family embraced their homestay student as part of their family, offering them a genuine home-away-from-home environment. This generosity and care helped create lasting memories for the JGSS students, and we are truly grateful for the difference you have made in their experience.
