Principal’s Message
A Loreto education is one which liberates, empowers and motivates students to use their individual gifts with confidence, creativity and generosity in loving and responsible service. Mother Gonzaga Barry reminded us that schooling is part of life, not preparation for life, that is, the school experience of learning is to be rich and full for its own sake.
