Loreto Toorak is an Independent Catholic Girls’ School embracing genuine values of freedom, justice, sincerity, verity and felicity to foster a mutual respect and deep understanding of the individual and a compassion for the broader community.

To become confident, self-assured women, girls need the right challenges. Loreto Toorak has created an environment where your daughter will be nurtured, challenged and encouraged to discover her true self.

Excellent academic results are achieved each year, but this is only one aspect of our holistic approach to education.

Established in 1924, the foundations began more than 400 years ago with a truly remarkable English woman, Mary Ward. She overcame extraordinary opposition and hostility to found the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), known as the Loreto Sisters.

Today there are seven Loreto Schools in Australia and more than 90 throughout the world. An extensive and challenging academic program is integral to the education of heart and mind, which is cherished at Loreto Toorak. A love of learning is fostered by specialist teachers who share a passion for their subjects with programs that aim to foster individual needs.

The opportunities we provide will challenge and extend your daughter, helping her to graduate with an inner belief that there is much she can achieve.
