College Events & News

Last Sunday we had the joy of seeing the 2026 Autumn Fair come to life as a beautiful celebration of community spirit, bringing together families, Old Scholars, friends, and supporters for a truly memorable day on the College grounds.

With more than 40 colourful stalls, gorgeous student performances, and a wide range of activities for all ages, Autumn Fair offered something for everyone, and we were truly overwhelmed with the outpour of support from our community. Each stall was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, reflecting the care and pride of every year level across the College. From pony rides and spinning teacups to relaxed moments over a drink at the Bar or Devonshire Tea in the Acacias Boardroom, the day was filled with fun and shared enjoyment.

What stood out most was the extraordinary community effort. With a volunteer team of more than 200 parents, staff and Old Scholars, the spirit of generosity was unmistakable. Seeing so many members of our community step forward and contribute their time and energy was both humbling and inspiring. It is moments like these that remind us just how special the Loreto community truly is.

We are also incredibly grateful to our sponsors Higgins, Quayclean, LOSA, Woods Bagot and Think Architects, whose generous support helped make the event possible. Their contribution played a significant role in bringing Autumn Fair to life, and we sincerely thank them for their partnership.

The fundraising efforts on the day were equally remarkable. While the final total is still being confirmed, we are delighted to share that expectations have been exceeded, an achievement made possible by the enthusiasm and generosity of our entire community.

THANK YOU 🤍

Above all, this is a moment to say thank you. Thank you for volunteering, attending, supporting the stalls, and contributing to the auction and fundraising activities. Your involvement is what makes events like the Autumn Fair so meaningful.

Events of this scale rely on many hands and hearts, and this year’s Autumn Fair was a true reflection of that collective effort. Quite simply, it would not have been possible without you!

Thank you once again for being such an integral part of this very special community event.
