About us
Loreto Kirribilli is a Kindergarten to Year 12 independent Catholic day school for girls.
We are a vibrant learning community, continuing a 400-year old, world-wide tradition of excellence in the education of girls. In the many aspects of school life, students are encouraged to be young women who seek knowledge and truth and act with justice.
They are encouraged to be independent learners with a sense of confidence and self-knowledge which is fostered by experienced and committed staff. While academic achievement is a priority, education of the whole child is a key element of the Loreto ethos.
