The goal of the Development Office is to raise awareness of the importance of philanthropy at Loreto Kirribilli.

History dictates that girls’ schools have a tougher time when it comes to raising funds. Giving at boys’ schools far outweighs giving at girls’ schools, perhaps a cultural vestige of a bygone era. Against this backdrop however, Loreto Kirribilli donors have met this challenge and generously supported the build of our Innovation Centre.
We are indeed blessed with a wonderful, faith-filled community; with families who continue to embrace a Loreto education and uphold our Loreto values. We extend our sincere appreciation to our donors and supporters - current and past families, ex-students and our Loreto Kirribilli family of grandparents and supportive friends.
It is thanks to the power and strength of our Loreto Kirribilli spirit that we can continue the work of our Loreto sisters, beginning with the work of Mother Gonzaga Barry. Mother Gonzaga was a trailblazer who brought Loreto schools to Australia in 1875. She was an educationalist in pursuit of an intelligent and ambitious program for the expansion and academic development of Loreto schools.
When our families enrol their daughters at Loreto Kirribilli they become valued members of this special community - families who continue to support one another in all aspects of life. On behalf of Loreto Kirribilli, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have contributed to the build of the Innovation Centre, the latest exciting and important chapter in our development. We invite all Loreto families to join these generous donors in support of Loreto Kirribilli students today and into the future.
