THE LORETO KIRRIBILLI BURSARY FUND

Mother Gonzaga Barry brought Loreto to Australia in 1875 and to Sydney in 1892. From origins in Randwick, a new chapter began at Kirribilli with the very ‘first ask’ by Mother Philomena Heaton to her mother, Sarah, for the purchase of Elamang in 1907. From this early generosity grew the Loreto education from which so many have experienced and profited. Whilst our girls are privileged to receive a Loreto education, it also becomes a responsibility for us to give back to others and embrace the true meaning of community. The spirit of giving aligns with the values and social justice initiatives we teach our students at Loreto Kirribilli. Our Loreto values are the essence of a Loreto Kirribilli education - Verity, Felicity, Freedom, Sincerity and Justice. Social justice remains at the heart of a Loreto Kirribilli education, and your generosity towards the Loreto Kirribilli Bursary Fund will enable others to also benefit from this education.

THE LORETO KIRRIBILLI TAX DEDUCTIBLE BURSARY FUND

The Loreto Kirribilli Bursary will enable girls from diverse backgrounds to benefit from a Loreto Kirribilli education, growing into confident, curious, socially responsible young women - the leaders of tomorrow.

As Mother Gonzaga Barry said, “What the world needs is wise, loving, well-educated women”, and the graduates of Loreto Kirribilli are a testament to that.

Gifting to the Loreto Kirribilli Bursary Fund will provide hope and joy - hope for family recipients of a Bursary, and joy for the donor in giving back to the Loreto Kirribilli community, opening doors to provide an opportunity for others.

MOTHER GONZAGA BARRY

I’ve experienced the benefits of a Loreto Kirribilli education; it catapulted me into the next stage of my life. Loreto values have continued to shape my life: to be an advocate for women and girls and have a strong commitment to community service. The Loreto Kirribilli Bursary encapsulates both these values.

A MEANS-TESTED LORETO KIRRIBILLI BURSARY

ALLOWS AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT TO BEGIN OR CONTINUE HER EDUCATION IN THE TRADITION OF THE LORETO SISTERS.

The purpose of the Loreto Kirribilli Bursary is to provide the opportunity for a student, whose family would not otherwise be able to afford to send their daughter to the school without this financial assistance, to attend Loreto Kirribilli. This bursary will be advertised annually in the media to capture families from a broad geographical area.

Bursaries will be awarded to students on the basis of application and interview. Bursaries are means tested and can comprise of a partial Bursary or a full Bursary for the tuition fee of the applicant.

Bursaries from the Bursary Fund are awarded to students in the Senior School, primarily for completion of Years 10-12, with the intent of providing full Bursaries from Year 7. These may also be awarded for academic merit or other co-curricular areas of merit, subject to means testing.
