The College Board of Directors is proud to administer Loreto College. All Directors are passionate about Loreto College and the way we have shaped, and continue to shape, women of today and tomorrow.

The Board is appointed by the Province Leader for terms of three years. The Directors represent a broad mix of skills; some are former students, some are current or past parents, and others are independent of the College.
