The Loreto Kirribilli
Scholarship (Bursary)
Proudly supported by the Ex-Students' Union and our parents and friends.
An education that offers something more
At Loreto Kirribilli, we are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
At the heart of our school is the vision of our foundress, Mary Ward, who, more than 400 years ago, dedicated her life to works of justice, steadfast in her belief that girls should be educated, and women empowered to assume positions of leadership.
This year, as we celebrate the school value of Felicity, we are pleased to invite applications for the Loreto Kirribilli Scholarship (Bursary). Thanks to the generosity of our community, this means-tested Bursary enables students to complete their Senior School education in the tradition of the Loreto Sisters.
Bursary recipients will have the same opportunities as all Loreto students to realise their gifts and talents, and graduate from the school as proud Loreto women, inspired to make a significant contribution to society.
This represents a wonderful opportunity for students whose families do not have the means to access a Loreto Kirribilli education. The students should demonstrate a love of learning and a willingness to make a positive contribution to the life of their school and the broader community.
The means-tested Bursary will be awarded annually to students providing full or partial fee-relief for their education from Years 10-12.
The Loreto Kirribilli Scholarship (Bursary) is proudly supported by the Ex-Students' Union and our parents and friends.
