Student Pathways Evening: Thank you to all those parents and students who attended the VCE VM and VCE Student Pathways and Expo Evenings. They were a huge success, and the feedback was extremely positive. If parents do have any specific feedback that they would like to share, feedback, please email boscol@loyola.vic.edu.au or wilsonk@loyola.vi.cedu.au

Parent Teacher Interviews: Thank you to all parents / guardians for attending the Parent Teacher Interviews. We hope they were meaningful and worthwhile, and provided feedback on your child’s learning and wellbeing, together with strategies to support future progress.

Upcoming Events

Year 9 & Year 10 Learning Pathway Interviews

It is important that our students make their decisions about subject choices in an informed manner. In light of this, every Year 9 and 10 students will have a 1-1 careers interview in week 5 (w/b 10 August). An important stage of this process is to carefully read the 2027 Course Guide. The link to the Course Guide is here Year 7-12 - Loyola College Courses. It can also be accessed through the student’s LMS page in the blue bar at the top of their home page.

Course Guide

Please be aware that not all subjects listed in the Course Guide may be available in 2027 Furthermore, whilst the school aims to meet the needs and wishes of all our students, there may be occasions when we are unable to accommodate student preferences. Reasons for this, may be timetable constraints, demand for certain subjects or limits to class sizes.

Year 7 Enhanced English and Maths Entrance Exams

We would like to congratulate the Year 7 students who have been invited to sit the 2027 Year 8 Enhanced English and/or Mathematics Entrance Examinations on 12 (Maths) and 13 August (English).

Receiving an invitation to participate is a wonderful achievement and recognises the students’ outstanding academic performance, dedication to learning, and commitment to challenging themselves. We wish all students the very best as they undertake these examinations and look forward to celebrating their continued growth and success.
