Appreciations and Acknowledgements
Parent Volunteers
As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the many parent volunteers who generously share their time and talents to support our College community.
Whether it’s through involvement in the Loyola Parents and Friends Association (LPFA), the Partnership With Parents (PWP) program, sorting uniforms, preparing folders for promotional events, or countless other contributions, our volunteers make a lasting impact on our students, staff, and families.
Your efforts help to create a vibrant, welcoming, and collaborative environment that reflects the values of Justice, Mercy, and Faith. Through your hard work and dedication, you not only support our events and initiatives but also help strengthen the spirit of community that makes our College truly special.
Wishing all families a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy start to 2026.
Local Business Support
Thank you to the following businesses who so generously supported the Loyola Parents and Friends Association throughout 2025. These local businesses kindly donated prizes and vouchers which were used for the online auction, raffles, and prizes for the Trivia and Games Night and Community Christmas Market & Carols events. Loyola College is fortunate to have the support of the local community in our fundraising activities. Thank you also to wonderful team of LPFA volunteers who spent countless hours sourcing and preparing the donations in preparation for various events.
