The Loreto Kirribilli new strategic plan for 2020-2023 – Inspired Minds: Catalysts for Change, builds on the achievements of the 2015-2018 plan, Navigating the Future.

The plan has two main themes: Inspiring educational excellence and enriching our community of faith. These together are the primary mission of the School. These two critical themes are underpinned by a commitment to a third theme of managing for sustainability, both financial and environmental, so that Loreto Kirribilli can thrive over the next three years and continue its mission into the future.
