What to expect

Home to more than 150 girls, the Boarding School is located on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, set in spacious grounds of over 25 acres, on the edge of bushland, with beautiful ovals and a large sporting and aquatic complex. It’s a mix of historic buildings and modern learning spaces, such as the state-of-theart Gonzaga Barry Centre.

The focus at Loreto is on the development of individual students in a holistic sense, utilising the key areas of faith, academic, community and extra-curricular. Boarders are provided with support networks to help them reach their goals including academic support, tutors and extended opening hours in the school’s Learning Resource Centre. There’s a high rate of boarding house participation in a wide variety of sports, the creative and performing arts, debating and oratory, and other activities.

Lara has boarded since Year 7. “I’m so grateful for my experience here, and especially boarding,” she says. “I love being part of a community where I feel comfortable to reach my full potential and be who I am. Boarding has also afforded me the chance to participate in numerous extra-curricular opportunities including sport, music and academic extension.”
