As we look towards life in the 22nd century, our school is continually adapting to prepare our students for an as yet unimagined future. For example, entrepreneurship programs and industry partnerships present our students with the opportunity to shape the future by developing and testing dynamic solutions to real-world challenges as they build lasting connections with experts and partner organisations.

Beyond the school years, our highly successful Loreto Kirribilli Connect Mentoring and Networking Program provides our graduates with a vital link to the extensive network of talent and expertise throughout the broader Loreto Kirribilli community, offering our Loreto women a gateway to lifelong connection and support. Adaptable and resilient, our students are encouraged to be agents of change while remaining steadfast and true to the values and beliefs we cherish. To that end, they support those in crisis overseas and at home through initiatives such as the Loreto Kirribilli Lebanon Appeal and House charity fundraisers including the Starlight Children’s Foundation. In addition, our students are inspired to give voice to injustices through participation in the Justice Peace and Integrity of Creation Council for Human Rights, raising awareness of issues ranging from human trafficking to climate change.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Loreto Kirribilli community met each new challenge with hope, courage and a commitment to prosper. Harnessing technology, innovative solutions were implemented to ensure continuity of excellence in teaching and learning. Extra-curricular activities and school and community events were adapted into inspiring online alternatives, ensuring the connection to community and sense of belonging, so important to the fabric of Loreto Kirribilli, prevailed. Principal Mrs Anna Dickinson commented, “We make sure the young women in our charge are able to engage creatively and critically with the challenges and opportunities that await them, to use their faith to build confidence and courage and to be inspired to take action in building a better world.”
