Alumni Updates Past Pupils’ Association

the students of 2022. I am very excited to announce that from this year forward, the LPPA have decided to also award the hard work of the Vocational Major (VM, formerly VCAL) Highest Achiever, with an equal amount of $500. We will also continue to support the Year 8 Performing Arts scholarships, which I look forward to presenting in the coming months.

In March, I, along with many other LPPA members, attended the Loreto International Women’s Day Breakfast. It was so wonderful to celebrate women, in a room of women. We heard from past pupils Sr Trish Franklin ibvm AO, Michelle Payne OAM and Olivia Sellers who were all worthy recipients of their awards. Their stories were all inspirational and wonderful to listen to.

The LPPA had an Easter Picnic planned, but unfortunately due to inclement weather this had to be cancelled. We look forward to planning again for Easter 2024.

I am Faith White (nee Austin, Class of 1995) and I am very pleased to have recently stepped into the role of President of the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association (LPPA).

I would like to begin by thanking outgoing President, Meg Barry (Class of 1962), for her years of tireless work and dedication as first a committee member and then President. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of former Secretary, Lyn Brown (Class of 1964) and committee member Jan Stephens (Class of 1965) who have both also resigned from their positions within the Association. The current committee, including incoming Secretary Michaela Prendergast (Class of 2012) and Treasurer Lauren Bromley (Class of 1995), are looking forward to working on future activities with past pupils over as many year levels and generations as possible.

I was delighted to recently present the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association Dux of 2022 award to Hannah Ollerenshaw, in the form of a cheque for $500. The Academic Awards celebrate years of hard work for

The main goal of the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association is to work collaboratively with the school on various activities to strengthen the bond of past students and to create awareness of the Association for current and outgoing students. Thank you to Ms Linda McDonald for your support with this.

For past pupils, the best thing you can do to stay in touch with Loreto College and the LPPA is update your details. You can do this at www.pastpupils.loreto.vic.edu.au. We have big plans for the 150-year celebrations of Loreto College in 2025, so would love to capture as many past pupils’ correct details as possible.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the LPPA, we would love to see you at our quarterly meetings. Please contact me faithaustin@hotmail.com or contact the school.
