Philosophy of Education

Loreto Bray is a Catholic girls secondary school under the trusteeship of the Loreto Sisters. Like all Loreto schools, Loreto Bray strives to live out the Loreto philosophy of education by striving to ensure that:

·         Love, freedom, justice, sincerity and joy find expression.
·         Young people feel accepted and allowed to experience the exercise of appropriate responsibility.
·         The potential of each individual, spiritual, intellectual, physical, is recognised and respected.
·         Special concern for the disadvantaged and underprivileged is experienced and encouraged.
·         Positive critical reflection is developed.
·         The challenge of suffering is faced.
·         Staff, parents, students, past-pupils co-operate for the common good.

In the power of Christ and with Mary as our model, we try

·         To awaken the hearts and minds of young people
·         To help them value and develop their heritage of faith and culture.
·         To encourage them to use positively the talents with which they have been gifted in the service of others, to the
           greater glory of God.
