The Loreto College Past Pupils' Association promotes a lively spirit of community by providing opportunities for social interaction and support:

• Reunions and Special Events
• Revitalising spiritual occasions
• Active involvement with social justice issues
• Fundraising
• Annual Mass

These activities are all integral to the vitality of the School organisation and are elaborated in our Strategic Plan of 2008-2013.  Participation by past pupils of all Loreto schools, ages and walks of life is encouraged and welcomed.  It is the diversity of members and events that fosters enjoyment for the existing Past Pupils Association.

This year we have held Reunions for the ‘eights' - pupils who left in 1958, 1968, 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008 and the 2003 and 2007 cohorts.  Details for these events were published in Verity.  Look out for details of these in the Events Information and Reunion sections below.  If you know that your address details have changed and you are in one of these year groups, updated information would be greatly appreciated.  Please contact Ms Tennille McLauchlan in the in the Development Office 03 5329 6100 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
