Harvest Festival Celebrations Highlight the Generosity of Our Boys & Families
This year’s Harvest Festival celebrations at Loyola were made all the more special thanks to the incredible generosity of our boys and their families. Throughout the year, we collect food donations to support those in need in our local community, with key collection times at Easter, through our Easter Egg Appeal, and most recently with our Cereal Box Domino Challenge.
And the Cereal Box Domino Challenge was a fantastic success. We collected over 200 cereal boxes, alongside a wide range of other food and toiletry donations, all destined for our local food bank. A particular highlight was Jerry, who donated 51 boxes, purchasing 25 with his own pocket money, which his mum generously matched. Acts like these remind us of the remarkable kindness and thoughtfulness our boys can show when thinking beyond their own world.
Generosity and compassion are values we continually encourage at Loyola. Living these principles is at the heart of our Catholic Social Teaching, and we hope the lessons learned here, of giving, sharing, and caring for others, will remain with our boys long after they leave our school community.
As Pope Francis once said, "A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just."
We are incredibly proud of our boys and their families for embracing this spirit of giving and for making a tangible difference in the lives of others.
