About Loreto
Loreto College is an independent Catholic Day and Boarding School for girls from Early Learning to Year 12. It is one of many schools throughout the world directed by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary IBVM (also known as the Loreto Sisters).
To work in a Loreto school is to be part of a vibrant tradition reaching back to 1609 when Mary Ward established her first school for girls in Europe.
A strong belief in the capacity and responsibility of women to contribute significantly to society and to the Church underlies the emphasis in Loreto’s education tradition. This is based on Mary Ward’s conviction that “Women in time to come will do much”.
In 1905, Loreto in Adelaide opened in Sydenham Road at Norwood. The present site, “The Acacias”, on Portrush Road was opened in 1921 with 100 students. Today, there are some 550 students from Reception to Year 12 including 58 boarders. The Loreto Schools of Australia Mission Statement embodies this vision:
“Loreto schools offer a Catholic education which liberates, empowers and motivates students to use their individual gifts with confidence, creativity and generosity in loving and responsible service.”
