Fathers and Friends Lunch - Thank you!
A huge thank you to everyone who was part of our first ever Fathers and Friends Lunch. With a great turn out from across all year levels at the school, the event was full of community spirit. The P&F worked hard in collating some excellent auction and raffle items which were generously donated by our Loreto families and networks and generously bid on by the attendees. We are thrilled to announce that the event raised $12,438 which will cover the Vex Robotics Systems for use across elective subjects from the Junior Primary through to the Senior School. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding effort by everyone involved.
We would like to say a special thank you to the following businesses for their contribution on the day: Lambrook Wines, The Lane, D'Arenberg, Coastal Parks, Adelaide Oval, Cathedral Lodge Golf Club, The Biomechanics Lab, Wicks Estate, Sueno Hair, Riedel Australia, One Rundle Trading Co, Silk, Teusner Wines, Dulwich Village Butcher. We would also like to thank the P&F Committee members and volunteers: Adam Lampit, Peter Vickery, Rachel Haddad, Han Yen and Emma Lyons. Finally thank you to our guest speakers and MC John Kernahan, Mark Soderstrom, Simon Dennis, Bruce Lennon, Ben Nelson Alex Katsaros and auctioneer, Chris Bishop.
Loreto springART
Loreto is synonymous with the arts and one of our standout calendar highlights is the hugely popular Loreto springART weekend held every September.
This flagship event will feature past program crowd favourites, plus a number of new initiatives set to delight art lovers and our Loreto community alike.
With more than 50 artists already committed to the program, this year is expected to be one of the biggest events in the program's 39-year history.
The much-anticipated launch event will be held on Friday 8 September with a cocktail party which is renowned for bringing together art-lovers vying to purchase works by leading South Australian artists and provides a unique opportunity to meet the artists.
On Saturday 9 September, come along to the Artist Panel Discussion which will feature this year’s feature artist, Louise Feneley and emerging artist, Chris Small, hosted by Paul Turley.
This year’s exhibition will also introduce three commendation prizes, selected by renowned artist, Christopher Orchard, and Mary-Jean Richardson, Head of Painting at Adelaide Central School of Art.
Tickets are now on sale for the Opening Night Cocktail Party. Visit the link below to book at early bird prices! Prices will increase on Monday 13 August.
