Community Christmas Market & Carols Night - Market Stall Holders Expression of Interest

Loyola College, in conjunction with the Loyola Parents and Friends Association (LPFA) will be hosting the annual Community Christmas Market & Carols Night on Friday, 28 November 5:00pm – 9:00pm.

As in previous years, this wonderful family event will include food trucks, children’s entertainment, Christmas performances by our students, the Good As New Uniform Sale and a festive Christmas Market - offering families the opportunity to purchase unique and handmade gifts. The evening attracts approximately 1000 people from both the College and local communities.

We are now seeking expressions of interest from small businesses wishing to holding a stall at the event. A $20 stall fee applies, and stallholders are requested to provide their own trestle table/s. Please note that all stall holders and their helpers must hold a current Working With Children Check.

Enquiries can be made at PaterraG@loyola.vic.edu.au

Donation of Loyola Uniform

Thank you to all the families who generously donate second-hand uniforms throughout the year to support our Good As New Uniform sales. We continue to welcome donations of freshly laundered uniforms in excellent condition. If you have items that are no longer needed, please leave them at Reception.

Your contributions directly support families in our community and are sincerely appreciated. All funds raised at these sales support the fundraising efforts of the Loyola Parents and Friends Association.

Please note that we are unable to accept items that are not in wearable condition (e.g. torn, heavily soiled, or missing buttons), as the College incurs costs to dispose of these items responsibly.

Important: The old-style sports uniform is no longer part of the approved College uniform and must not be sent to Reception. We kindly ask for your co-operation with this matter.

For more information, please contact Monica Agius at community@loyola.vic.gov.au or 9433 0228.

Return of Unused ACS Player Uniforms

Parents are requested to return any unused ACS player uniforms to the Sports Office as soon as possible.

If your child has been issued a uniform and no longer participates in the program, returning the unused items helps us maintain accurate stock and ensures availability for future teams.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.
