Mentor Conversations

On Tuesday, 11 February parents would have received information regarding the upcoming Mentor Conversation evening. This year, we have implemented a new model aimed at enhancing engagement from our parents.

In response to feedback from families, we will also be offering several half-hour sessions that will run concurrently with the mentor conversations throughout the afternoon and evening. A schedule of these sessions, including their respective times, can be found below.

The booking form for these sessions may be accessed by CLICKING HERE

In addition, the College will also run a second-hand uniform sale (2.00pm – 6pm) for families wishing to purchase extra items of uniform. This will occur in the Two Wolves Hub area.

We look forward to seeing you at this evening.

School Advisory Council

The School Advisory Council (SAC) provides a forum for discussion and discernment, where the parent/guardian voice and perspective are available to inform and support the decisions made by the principal and parish priest for the good of school and parish where the wellbeing and outcomes for students is paramount.” (SAC Terms of Reference)

The SAC is primarily composed of parents, alongside the involvement of the Principal, Business Manager, and Father Steve Rigo (Custodian of Mission). Additionally, a staff representative attends SAC meetings annually. Typically, the council convenes for six to seven evening meetings each year.

At the conclusion of each academic year, we invite interested parents to submit expressions of interest for membership in the Loyola College School Advisory Council. Last year, we received applications from three parents, and I am pleased to announce the new members who will join the School Advisory Council for 2025.

1. John Perizzolo
2. Angela Rogers
3. Jade Scibilia

Each year, a member of the Loyola College staff represents the staff body at the School Advisory Council. This year, I am pleased to announce that Mrs Jacqui Di Stefano, Head of Visual Arts, will take on this responsibility.

Complaints or Concerns

Loyola College is committed to building a school community that features positive and respectful relationships. Within our school, relationships are founded in the gospel values of justice, compassion, reconciliation, and kindness. Such relationships support the learning and development of students and value the innate dignity of each person. It is important that each member of the community, including staff, parents, and students, are contributors to the building of the school community. A timely and professional response to complaints is an effective means of encouraging communication, building trust, and resolving issues for the betterment of all concerned.

Loyola College understands that from time-to-time concerns arise regarding aspects of our school’s operation of programs and activities and that it is important that all members of the community have the opportunity to be heard. Loyola College commits to ensuring procedural fairness is observed when dealing with complaints and grievances.

The nature of the complaint will determine who is the most appropriate person or body to manage the concerns raised. In having specific concerns/complaints addressed we recommend that initial contact be made with the relevant College personnel in the order below:

Swimming Carnival

We extend our best wishes to our students as they participate in the annual House Swimming Carnival today (Friday, 14 March), competing for House points. This event marks the first major House competition of the year and offers many of our new Year 7 students the opportunity to represent their House for the first time. Our House-based pastoral care system is designed to foster a sense of belonging among all students, both within their House and in the broader school community. The swimming carnival serves as an excellent opportunity for students to connect with one another, develop their skills, and strengthen their ties to the community.

Best of luck to all Houses!
