Parent Thank You Dinner

Earlier in the week, the College hosted its annual Parent Thank You Dinner in the beautiful Via Max at Old Loyola. The event was graciously hosted by our Principal, Mrs Alison Leutchford, as a gesture of appreciation for the dedication and time given by our parent volunteers throughout 2025.

Across the year, a multitude of programs, activities, and initiatives thrive due to the active involvement of our parent community. From assisting with events to supporting College activities and programs, our volunteers have been instrumental in enriching the experiences of our College community. While we are grateful for all of our parent volunteers, we were pleased to share this special evening with those who joined us for an evening of gratitude and celebration.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all parents who have contributed to the College this year, and we look forward to seeing many involved again in the year to come.

A special congratulations to Mark Monteneri and Julie Gardner who were inducted as Life Members of the Loyola Parents and Friends Association. These two individuals have contributed to the College community in so many ways – Mark as general member in 2018 then President 2019-2025, and Julie as a very active member since 2022. As Julie completes her time as a Parent member, with her daughter Caitlin (12/XEJS) completing VCE, we thank the Gardner family for their contribution to Loyola College through LPFA and FOPA while Mark will continue to support as a general committee member.

Loyola Parents and Friends Association

Thank you to the Loyola Parents and Friends Association for their hard work and support of the College throughout 2025. The LPFA held social events such as the Year 7 Family Get Together and the ever-popular Winery Tour as well as supported the wider community and College events including the Xavier Maytime Fair, Open Day, St Ignatius Day and the upcoming Community Carols and Market night.

The major fundraising event for the year, Trivia and Games Night was a standout success, and assisted the Association in their contribution of funds towards the purchase of a new bus shelter at the Grimshaw Street carpark, as well as sponsorship of 20 academic awards and a number of Elite Performance Grants during in 2025.

I would like to congratulate and introduce the continuing and new members to the LPFA Executive with whom I look forward to working towards another fun filled, successful year in 2026.
