“As we boldly look to the future, we know that what has been right for boarding for the last 128 years may not be for the next 128 years. Our new state-of-the-art Boarding School has been designed with the needs of current and future Loreto boarding students in mind and ensures we can continue our mission to shape women for our times.”

Marina Ugonotti, Principal

The new Boarding School will open in 2026.

Drawing on our 128-year history of boarding education, we are proud to channel our rich boarding legacy into a new forward-thinking facility equipped to meet the diverse needs of the contemporary boarding community. This innovative space will be located on Mount Pleasant Avenue, and will span four levels, cascading down the slope beside the gymnasium. It will have an outlook across the oval and to the bush beyond.

The new purpose-built Boarding House will deliver increased student accommodation, flexible communal spaces, updated accommodation for boarding staff and will reflect the school’s vision to create a modern, accessible and ecologically sustainable home for boarding students. Its design will enrich the friendships, educational opportunities and experiences available to students and all members of our community.

The construction of the new Boarding House is progressing well. The second concrete slab is in place, earthworks are complete, and electrical infrastructure along Mount Pleasant Avenue has been installed. We anticipate that the building will be opening in 2026, offering a modern and welcoming home for our boarding students, as well as facilities for day girls.
