It has been another vibrant and affirming period in the life of our College, marked by connection, celebration, and strong engagement with our community.

One of the highlights was the 40-Year Reunion, a wonderful opportunity to welcome alumni back to the College. It was inspiring to see past students reconnect, share their stories, and reflect on the lasting impact of their time here. Events like this remind us of the enduring strength of our community and the values that continue to unite generations of learners and their families.

We were also delighted to host the LCAA Parent Alumni Breakfast, a unique and meaningful gathering where parents who are themselves alumni, shared breakfast with their children who are now students of the College. This intergenerational connection is something truly special and speaks to the trust families place in our school and the sense of belonging that transcends time.

Our students continue to shine in Performing Arts. The Dance Performance Evening on Tuesday 2nd June was a standout event, showcasing the creativity, discipline, and passion of our dancers. The standard of performance was exceptional, and I congratulate all students and staff involved for a memorable evening that celebrated artistic expression and collaboration.

A reminder to families that tickets for our upcoming production of Newsies go on sale this week. Our College productions are renowned for their exceptionally high standard and typically sell out very quickly. I strongly encourage families to purchase tickets as soon as they become available to avoid disappointment.

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the continued strength of our enrolments. The College remains a school of choice, with strong interest from families seeking a holistic and values-driven education for their children. On Wednesday 10th June, we had the pleasure of conducting interviews with prospective students and their families for Year 7 2028. These conversations are always a highlight, as we get to know the young people who may soon join our community and share in our vision.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and commitment to the life of the College. Together, we continue to build a community where students are known, valued, and inspired to grow.

Refugee Week - 14 - 20 June

Each year Refugee Week invites our community to pause, to listen, and to respond with both compassion and courage. It is an opportunity not only to acknowledge the realities faced by millions of displaced people around the world, but also to reflect deeply on who we are as an Ignatian school and how we are called to live the Gospel today.

At the heart of our charism is a simple but demanding call: to find God in all things and to respond in love through service. This includes recognising the dignity of every human person—especially those who are marginalised, displaced, or unheard. Refugees are not statistics or distant headlines; they are our sisters and brothers, each bearing a story of loss, resilience, and hope.

St Ignatius invites us into a way of seeing the world through what we might call a contemplative gaze. In the Spiritual Exercises, he encourages us to look upon the world as God does—with compassion, attentiveness, and a deep desire for healing. Refugee Week provides us with a powerful context to practise this way of seeing. It challenges us to move beyond indifference and to become people who “feel and taste” the reality of others, rather than remaining at a distance.

In the Gospel, Jesus himself identifies with the displaced and the vulnerable. “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35). This is not simply a moral suggestion—it is a defining characteristic of Christian discipleship. For us at Loyola, it becomes part of our everyday mission: to form young people who are not only intellectually competent but also compassionate and committed to justice.

Our Ignatian tradition speaks strongly of being “people for and with others.” The distinction is important. To be for others is to serve; to be with others is to stand in solidarity, to encounter, and to learn. Refugee Week reminds us that authentic solidarity requires listening—attending to the lived experiences of those who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or environmental crisis.

As a College, we are called to respond in concrete ways. This may take the form of advocacy, education, or outreach initiatives that deepen our understanding and inspire meaningful action. It may also be expressed in the quiet, everyday gestures of welcome—creating spaces where all feel safe, valued, and included. In each of these responses, we embody the Jesuit ideal of forming a faith that does justice.

Pope Francis, himself deeply shaped by Ignatian spirituality, often speaks of the “culture of encounter.” He reminds us that true transformation begins when we allow ourselves to be touched by another’s story. Refugee Week offers precisely this invitation: to encounter, to be moved, and ultimately to act.

For our students, this is formative. It is through these moments that they develop the empathy and moral courage needed to engage with an increasingly complex world. In learning about refugees, they are not only acquiring knowledge—they are shaping their hearts and consciences. They are learning what it means to stand on the side of human dignity.

As we mark Refugee Week at Loyola College, let us be guided by the Ignatian desire to “love and serve in all things.” May we continue to cultivate a community that recognises Christ in the face of the displaced, that responds generously to need, and that works tirelessly for a more just and compassionate world.

In doing so, we live out our mission—not only in word, but in action.

Semester One Examinations – Year 9 - 15 June – 18 June

Students who are absent will receive a mark of 0% unless a medical certificate, statutory declaration, or pharmacy certificate is submitted to the Head of House or Miss Wilson.

Timetables and communication to families have already been distributed.

Term 3 – looking ahead

Term 3 will be an extremely busy term, including:

• Student Pathways Evening 2027: VCE and VCE VM: 28 July 2026

• Parent Teacher Interviews: 5 & 6 August

• Trial Exams: first 3 days of the Term 3 holidays

Application for Accelerated Subjects in 2027

In Term Three our Year 9 and 10 students will be considering their Year 10 and Year 11 subjects for next year. Please find details below:

Current Year 9 2026

A number of students may wish to complete a Unit 1/2 Subject (Year 11 subject) in 2027.

Acceleration requires demonstrated consistent high academic achievement and an ability to take on the demands of an accelerated subject. Therefore, a student will need to be committed to their studies, be well organised and able to meet deadlines. English will be one of the subjects in which the student needs to demonstrate a consistently high level of academic ability.

Stages of the Acceleration Process:

1. Letter of invite from the Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning to those students who meet the desired criteria of 5A’s (5 x 80%) (one of which must be English) (75% for Enhanced / CLIL students)

2. Completion of Application Form

3. Completion of VCE Ready Test

4. Invitation for an interview with the relevant Head of Learning

5. Students and parents informed of the outcome by Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning

Students have been informed of this process at the beginning of the year.

Current Accelerated Year 10 2026

An invitational letter, from the Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning, will be sent out to students currently studying an accelerated Unit 1/2 subject. Acceptance for Unit 3/4 is not automatic. Letters will be sent to students who have been able to sustain a high level of academic ability and meet the demands of the accelerated Unit 1/2 Units.

The subject selection process takes place in Term Three for all of our students and once again students will be asked to complete their subject choices online, with your guidance.

Vocational Process in 2026: Pre-V (Year 10) and VCE VM (Year 11)

As students consider their future pathways, they may feel that a vocational curriculum (Pre-V and VCE VM) is more suited to their needs. That may be in terms of the curriculum areas offered or simply a vocational approach best suits their learning needs.

Please find below brief outline of the two Programs.

Current Year 9 2026 – (Pre-V in Year 10 2027)

The Pre-V Program at Loyola is designed to provide students with valuable exposure and practical experience in various vocational fields. It aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge required to make informed career choices and excel in their chosen fields.

Current Year 10 2026 – (VCE VM in Year 11 2027)

Students already enrolled on the current Pre-V course will automatically continue their vocational studies into Year 11 and Year 12. There is the opportunity, however for students in Year 10 to join the VCE VM Program in 2027.

Student enrolment for both Vocational Programs is by invitation only and recommendations are made following careful consideration and review of the academic record, skills and interests of the students, alongside conversations with staff. For those students who do not receive a letter of invite, parents / guardians are welcome to contact Mr Langford (Head of VCE VM) or Miss Wilson if they feel a vocational program will suit the learning needs of their child.

Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,

I am the 2026 Loyola Public Speaking & Debating Captain, Joshua Buckley.

Public Speaking & Debating is an integral life skill which is important for many careers and opportunities, and the Loyola program offers many different programs to help flourish these skills.

With the commencement of term 2, we have had the startup of our annual House Public Speaking competition, leaving many House points up for grabs towards the ultimate prize, the House shield.

Furthermore, we've recently had two senior teams competing in the annual Ethics Olympiad, which is a global competition where teams come together to discuss set topics, justifying their ethical responses to set problems. This year, Loyola placed well enough to receive honourable mentions for their contributions in the competition.

We have also had the continuation of our ACS Debating going along in the background of Loyola's busy schedule, with our A Grade team remaining undefeated and our other teams also proudly representing the school's debating capabilities.

Now some upcoming events.

As we near the end of term 2, the now bi-annual JACSA debating competition is drawing near. One team of Loyola's best debaters will be flying over to Saint Ignatius College Riverview in Sydney to compete with 4 other Ignatian schools, (Saint Ignatius Adelaide, Saint Aloysius College, Xavier College) across Australia, and some of the best High School debaters the country has. Trials for the team start Thursday 28/06.

Term 3 also marks the commencement of our annual House Debating competition, similarly, leaving many House points up in the air towards the House shield.

Now, keep your eyes on the school LMS as there is always new initiatives coming and going to provide opportunities for students to hone their Public Speaking & Debating skills such as:

• Parliament Prize
• Parliamentary Convention
• Xavier Junior Debating Night
• ACS Finals
• JACSA developments

Kind regards,

Joshua Buckley (12/TJBE)

Student of the Fortnight:

Eva Zuzic has been an invaluable member of the Public Speaking & Debating club throughout her time at Loyola college, and this truly came into fruition during our annual Ethics Olympiad.

When the team was proposed with a question none of us had an answer for, Eva relied on her own personal, lived experience, to provide an answer when none of us could, still keeping us competitive throughout the competition.

Eva Zuzic (11/TRLP)

Dear Parents, Staff and Students,

We are your 2026 Chisholm Captains, Cara and Janusz!

What an incredible start to the year it has been for Chisholm. We are so proud of the way everyone has supported each other, stepped outside their comfort zones, and brought so much energy to every event. It’s been amazing seeing our Chisholm community truly live out our 2026 house theme, “Courage Ignited, Connections United.”

One of the biggest highlights so far has been House Eisteddfod and seeing all the hard work behind SpongeBob the Musical finally come together on stage. A huge thank you to everyone who performed, helped backstage, or supported rehearsals along the way. The dedication and commitment shown by everyone was incredible, and securing the win made it even more special!

We’re also so proud of everyone who represented Chisholm at both Swimming and Athletics Carnivals. Whether you competed or cheered from the sidelines the House spirit was amazing to see. Bringing home another TWO wins was such a great achievement for our whole House! Let’s continue to work hard and together and carry our strong spirit throughout the rest of the year!

Recently, we came together for our House Celebration Mass. Thank you to everyone who played a role in making the celebration so meaningful, and we hope everyone enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate our Chisholm community together, especially with our morning tea to follow.

A massive thank you as well to everyone who supported our sold-out Chisholm “Cheaper Than KFC Go Buckets! Fundraiser in support of our House charity; the Caroline Chisholm Society. The support was amazing, keep your eyes out for another one coming soon!

It’s also been fantastic seeing so many people already getting involved in Public Speaking, and we’re really excited for all the opportunities still to come this year, especially House debating, chess and esports. We can’t wait to see even more students get involved and continue making Chisholm proud.

On behalf of all Chisholm students, we would like to thank all mentor teachers for being positive support systems, particularly on those hard early mornings. Also, our Head of House, Mrs Delosa, for all her hard work behind the scenes to keep Chisholm together!

Thank you again to everyone for making the start of this year so positive and successful. We’re so proud of what we’ve already achieved together, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings for Chisholm!

Cara Bell (12/CJEM) & Janusz Kubicki (12/CJSI)

Our student of the fortnight is Miles Andrew, an amazing Year 7 student who has already made such a positive impact on the Chisholm community this year. We are so proud of the way Miles has thrown himself into every opportunity with so much enthusiasm, confidence, and school spirit.

A huge highlight was seeing Miles take on the lead role of Mr Krabs in House Eisteddfod’s SpongeBob the Musical. He absolutely lit up the stage, had the audience laughing the whole time, and brought so much energy and personality to the performance. It was incredible to see how confidently he stepped up and gave it his all.

Miles has also proudly represented Chisholm at both the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals and will soon be representing our house in Public Speaking as well. His willingness to get involved in so many different areas has been amazing to see, especially as a Year 7 student. We hope everyone is inspired by Mile’s eagerness to participate and tries it out themselves!

What makes Miles so special is the positivity he brings every single day. He is always smiling, saying hello to people in the hallways, and making others feel welcome. His kindness, energy, and encouragement towards others truly embody the Chisholm spirit.

We are so lucky to have Miles as part of Chisholm and can’t wait to see all the incredible things he achieves throughout the rest of the year and beyond!

Miles Andrew (7/CJSI)

What an exciting year it has been so far in Digital Learning. As we welcome our STEM Assistant Vincent to the College Community, we also welcome our new set of MetaQuest 3 Virtual Reality headsets! These have already proved a hit in our STEM club that runs on Fridays at lunchtime, with our aspiring engineers building bridges in the virtual space. Some even got so far as to test their bridge by driving a virtual car over it!

The Science faculty has hit the ground running with these headsets, with year 10 classes incorporating a mini-incursion to explore cell structure in the virtual space.

As a participant in the Cyber Safety Project, learner modules have been rolled out in year 7 Digital Technologies to help our students identify online threats. The project has also provided a recording of a recent webinar. The session provided practical, proactive guidance on key topics including online safety, digital wellbeing, social media, gaming, and AI.

The Humanities Faculty continues to bring learning beyond the classroom through engaging, place-based experiences that challenge and inspire our students.

Our Year 11 Modern History students visited the Holocaust Museum, where hearing from a Holocaust survivor provided a powerful and personal insight into the dangers of antisemitism, alongside inspiring stories of resilience and survival.

Our Year 12 Business Management students also connected theory to practice during their visit to the Yakult factory, where they examined operations management in a real-world setting. Seeing production processes, quality control, and efficiency strategies in action helped bring key concepts to life and deepened their understanding of how successful businesses operate.

In Year 9 Geography, students explored sustainability through a Fast Fashion incursion, transforming second-hand clothing into creative new pieces using sewing machines and teamwork. The experience culminated in an energetic fashion show, highlighting both innovation and environmental awareness.

Students also stepped beyond the classroom and into the heart of Australia’s democracy. Year 9 Future Entrepreneurs and Citizens students explored Parliament House, while Year 11 Legal Studies students visited both Parliament House and the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, experiencing the law in action. From tracing how laws are debated and passed, to observing the workings of the justice system firsthand, these excursions gave students a deeper, more tangible understanding of how our society is governed—and their place within it.

These place-based learning opportunities help our students become thoughtful, informed, and engaged citizens, connecting classroom learning with the wider world.

Year 9 Melbourne Street Art Tour and Workshop

Students recently participated in an inspiring and immersive Visual Arts excursion through Melbourne’s iconic laneways, engaging directly with the city’s world-renowned street art culture. The day offered a powerful blend of observation, learning and hands-on creation, bringing classroom concepts to life in an authentic, real-world context.

A highlight of the experience was the guided Melbourne Street Art Tour, led by a professional street artist. Students gained valuable insight into the cultural, historical and social significance of street art. The tour encouraged students to look beyond surface aesthetics, fostering critical thinking as they interpreted symbolism, technique and artistic intent across a diverse range of works.

Following the tour, students took part in a two-hour Street Art Stencil Workshop. Under the guidance of experienced artists, students explored stencil design, learned spray-paint techniques and experimented with layering and composition.

The culmination of the day saw students produce their own stencil artwork on canvas, contributing directly to their assessment for the Street Art Unit in Art Creative Practice. The quality and individuality of the final pieces reflected both strong engagement and a growing confidence in technical and conceptual skills.

Year 8s Unite with NBL Legends in Action-Packed Incursions

Over the course of May, our Year 8 superstars-in-the-making took part in action-packed basketball sessions delivered by Melbourne United, featuring former NBL stars Brad Newley and Nathan Crosswell. The atmosphere was electric as students sharpened their skills, challenged themselves, and learnt directly from two elite players with a wealth of experience at the highest level.

Both coaches brought incredible passion, intensity and insight to every session, inspiring students to work hard, compete, and enjoy the game. It was a memorable experience that further strengthened the skills, tactics and game sense developed through their HPE basketball units. Students who enjoyed the sessions are encouraged to consider pathways such as ACS Basketball, the Basketball Development Program and Year 9 Basketball Academy Class in the future.

Victorian Secondary Schools Challenge

On Monday 25th May, twenty Year 7 & 8 Students proudly represented Loyola College in the Under 15 VSSC Qualifiers at Diamond Valley Stadium. Whilst our Division 2 Boys were unsuccessful in qualifying for finals, they displayed tremendous school spirit rallying around our Division 1 Girls and cheering them on all the way!

In an exceptional display of teamwork and class, our Loyola Girls took care of business throughout all 5 group games and then in an outstanding Grand Final Victory. The care, commitment and passion on display by the girls was next level; they have now earned automatic qualification to the State Finals in June. Well done, Girls!

Semester 2 Basketball Development Program Launch

The BDP tipped off in exciting fashion, with 26 students bringing energy, enthusiasm, and plenty of skill to the free trial session on Thursday 4th June. Under the guidance of coaches Nathan Crosswell and Santo Fileccia, the gym was buzzing as players jumped into fast-paced drills, competitive games, and high-intensity skill work. The session showcased exactly what the program is all about—fun, improvement, and a genuine love of the game. With smiles all around, the strong turnout and vibrant atmosphere have set the stage for a fantastic Semester 2 program.

It’s not too late to get involved. Please email basketball@loyola.vic.edu.au for more information.

Irena Pavlovska
French Language Assistant
2022 - Present

Can you tell us a little about your role at Loyola College?

As the French Language Assistant at Loyola College, my role is to help students develop confidence in speaking and understanding French in a more natural and conversational way.

I work alongside the French teachers to support classroom learning through pronunciation practice, speaking activities, cultural discussions and interactive exercises. I also share aspects of French culture, traditions and everyday life to make language learning more engaging and authentic for students.

What does a normal day at Loyola College look like in your role?

A typical day usually involves working with different French classes across various year levels. I help students improve pronunciation, run small group activities and sometimes prepare cultural presentations or language games.

French Club (Co-curricular Program) is also one of the highlights of my week!

What do you enjoy most about your work at Loyola College?

What I enjoy most is seeing students grow in confidence and become more willing to communicate in French. It's very rewarding when students realise they can hold a conversation or understand expressions they once found difficult.

I also enjoy the welcoming and supportive community here at our school.

If you could choose any dinner guest (outside of immediate family or friends), who would they be and why?

I would choose the Little Prince (one of my favourite book characters). It would probably be the strangest dinner party ever! I think the conversation would be simple but deeply meaningful because the Little Prince sees the world with honesty and curiosity that many adults lose over time.

What is something people may not know about you that you would like to share?

My background is Macedonian and I am fluent in six languages: English, Macedonian, French, Italian, Bulgarian and Serbian.

G&T High Tea – A Wonderful Day Out

On Saturday 23 May, members of our College community enjoyed a delightful outing to the charming Black Sheep Distillery for a G&T High Tea event.

Guests were treated to a beautifully presented, European-inspired high tea featuring a delicious selection of sweet and savoury delights. Set against a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the event provided a wonderful opportunity to relax, connect, and enjoy great company.

Following the high tea, the group continued their afternoon with a visit to The Paddock Bakery, where many enjoyed a leisurely coffee and continued conversations. The day was rounded out with some vintage shopping at a nearby store, adding an extra touch of fun and discovery to an already memorable experience.

Events like this are a lovely way to bring parents and friends of the College together in a relaxed social setting, strengthening the sense of community we value so highly. We thank everyone who attended and helped make the day so enjoyable.

We look forward to welcoming you to future Parents and Friends events.
