The Loreto Tradition
The Loreto philosophy of education is centred in God and is rooted in Gospel values where truth, freedom, justice, sincerity and joy find expression.
Loreto schools aim to form young people of faith, of truth, of sincerity, seeking justice and freedom, in joyful service for the greater glory of God.
The name ‘Loreto recalls the home of Nazareth. The spirit of that family home, in which Mary played such a significant part, inspires the Loreto school community.
In that spirit and tradition, the following basic principles underpin the Loreto Philosophy of education.
