Year 7 Family Get Together

It was great to see Loyola Companions Hall filled with some 80 excited Year 7 families who gathered to share an evening to get to know one another at the Year 7 Family Get Together earlier this month. The evening commenced with a welcome from Mrs Alison Leutchford (Acting Principal), Mr Mark Monteneri (LPFA President) and Mr Matthew Luczek (Director of College and Community Engagement), who also kept the crowd entertained with model building games and a Loyola Quiz. Parents had the opportunity to meet their child’s new friends and their parents; and the students had a great night socialising with their friends outside of school. Families also enjoyed a pizza dinner followed by choc tops for dessert. Thank you to the Loyola Parents and Friends Association (LPFA) who worked hard to ensure the evening was a great success.

Homestays Required – Short Term Cultural Experience Visits

This year we are expecting 9 students from Liceo Malpighi in Bologna from 23 July – 11 August and 7 students from Jesus Good Shepherd School in the Philippines from 1- 15 September. We are currently looking for families to volunteer homestay accommodation for nine students aged 15-16 years during for the Italian student visit and seven students in September. Visiting students will shadow their host brother or sister at Loyola for the duration of the stay and host families may arrange outings for outside of school hours.
A dinner will be held to thank host families for their support of this program and for providing our visiting students with a rewarding experience prior to the conclusion of each visit.
