A tradition of pride and identity
The Loreto uniform is worn with pride as a visible expression of belonging to our school community. It reflects our values of discipline, dignity and equality — every learner, regardless of background, is presented on equal terms. Full uniform is compulsory during school hours and at all official school functions unless otherwise directed.
The uniform is divided into a summer uniform (worn in Terms 1 and 4), a winter uniform (worn in Terms 2 and 3) and a sports uniform worn for all practical sports activities. The lists below set out the requirements for each phase.
