The Provincial Superior of the Loreto Sisters is the Patron of the school under the terms of the Education Act, 1998. The patronage and trustee functions are carried out by the Loreto Education Trust Board, appointed for that purpose by the Provincial Superior.The Loreto Education Trust Board delegates the administration of the College to the Board of Management.

    The family, as the primary educator, shares responsibility for the student’s education through its commitment to the values of the school.


  3. Mission Statement of the College
    In an atmosphere of mutual respect and justice, we are a community that aims to provide a rich and diverse curriculum catering for the needs of each individual student. We provide a holistic education wherein we strive for excellence in the pursuit of knowledge. Social concerns and spiritual values are central to our educational philosophy, while sporting and cultural endeavours are encouraged. Each student is challenged to realise her full potential and to recognise the dignity of each human being”.


  4. Staffing
    While Loreto College is a fee-paying College the Department of Education and Science (DES) pays the salaries of teachers according to the number of students on roll in the previous year.

    To facilitate a wide curriculum and range of classes, the Board of Management employs a number of teachers and coaches in excess of the staffing allocation made to the school by the DES.

    The College also employs a full-time Chaplain, a Librarian/Resource person, 2 Secretaries, a Bursar, a Caretaker, a Housekeeper and cleaning staff.


  5. Financial Resources
    The College does not receive a ‘per capita’ student grant from the DES. Neither is it eligible for a range of other grants. It is totally dependent on the fees received for students to meet all costs apart from the teaching salaries met by the DES.

    Information concerning fees and other expenses will be provided at an Information Evening for parents as part of the application process. This information can also be obtained by making direct contact with the College.


  6. Curriculum:
  7. The College prospectus provides all relevant details concerning the academic curriculum and other co-curricular dimensions of College life. Amendments may be made from time to time, in accordance with Sections 9 and 30 of the Education Act, 1998.
