AUTUMN FAIR – Proudly Presented by Elevated Digital Marketing

The Precious Gift of Time – Thank You for Your Generosity

At our College, we know that the greatest gift anyone can give is their time, and we are so grateful to our wonderful community for sharing it so generously in support of our upcoming Autumn Fair. From donating items for the silent auction, to contributing to stalls and dedicating hours to planning and organisation, the effort from our families has been truly remarkable.

We have been so touched by the generosity, enthusiasm, and sense of community that has come together to support this event. It is your energy, commitment, and care that make occasions like this possible and so special.

Thank You Coffee Morning – Tuesday 31 March, 7:45am

In recognition of all our volunteers’ and donors’ hard work in the lead-up to, and on the day of the event, we warmly invite you to join us for coffee on Tuesday 31 March from 7:45am – 9:00am in the Performing Arts Centre foyer. We hope to see you there!

You do not want to miss this auction - keep an eye on your email for the GalaBid link next week!

More than just a day of fun, the Fair is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the Loreto community and support the College. With something for everyone, it is a celebration of generosity, creativity and togetherness that showcases the warmth and vitality of Loreto life. We look forward to welcoming all our families at the Autumn Fair, proudly presented by Elevated Digital Marketing, on Sunday 29 March from 11am to 4pm.

Dads Basketball

It's always wonderful to see our College community come together beyond the classroom, and this week that spirit was on full display as a group of Loreto dads laced up their sneakers and hit the basketball court together for their first Dads Basketball session. Initiated by parent Chris Newton Smith, the idea was simple: create an opportunity for fathers to connect, get active, and enjoy some time together. It was a chance to step away from the usual routines of work and family life, have some fun, and focus on wellbeing.

Opportunities like this are so valuable in building a strong and connected College community. When parents come together, it not only strengthens relationships between families but also enriches the broader experience for our students.
