We hope that our graduates will • be capable of developing and deepening a relationship with God, and of seeking to find Him in all things. • be happy, friendly, and self-confident, with a sense of humour and an awareness of their God-given gifts and the need to continue to develop them. • have a generosity of spirit and a readiness to place their talents at the disposal of others, especially the most needy. • be motivated and prepared to take their place in the community and to contribute selflessly to the common good. • Proud of having belonged to a Loreto College with due respect for its values and those who taught them.
