Loreto Kirribilli is an Independent, Roman Catholic, day school for girls, located in Kirribilli, a Lower North Shore suburb of Sydney, Australia.
Established at Milsons Point in 1901, Loreto has a selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1,050 girls from Kindergarten to Year 12.
The school is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), and is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Girls' Schools (AHIGS).
Loreto Kirribilli is one of many schools around the world established by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or Loreto Sisters, founded some 400 years ago by Mary Ward.
Its Sydney sister school is Loreto Normanhurst, and there are five other Loreto schools across Australia, in Melbourne, Ballarat, Victoria, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth, as well as other international schools such as St Mary's Shaftesbury and Saint Mary's Ascot in the UK.
Loreto Kirribilli was founded in 1901 following the move of the day school of Loreto Randwick (founded 1892) to "Kunimbla", a house in Milsons Point. In 1907, increasing enrolments necessitated a move to "Fern Hill", a house in Upper Pitt Street, and in 1907 to the current site in Carabella Street.
