Co-curriculum and Academic Colours

Loyola College recognises significant achievement amongst its student body with the awarding of Co-curriculum Colours (known as ‘Colours’) twice each year.

Students who achieve Colours are recognised for their qualities of active participation, team spirit, positive conduct, goodwill and co-operation in a specific area of the College Co-curriculum program.

Co-curriculum Colours are awarded in the areas of:

· Christian Service

· Drama

· Music

· Public Speaking and Debating

· Sport

· House

In addition, Academic Colours are awarded to those students who finish in the top 5% of each year group. At Awards Evening, these students receive a certificate and are eligible to have an open book motif and year (i.e. 2026) embroidered on their blazer pocket.

Students who are awarded Co-curriculum are also eligible to have their blazers embroidered with a symbol which celebrates their Colours at the end of each Semester. Semester Two Colours Applications have now opened and all students in Years 9-12 are invited to apply.
