At Loreto, we recognise and nurture each student’s leadership potential.

We offer a range of opportunities for students to develop their leadership qualities and skills, through both formal and informal opportunities. 

Student Portfolio Representative System 

This formal system enables students in Years 7 to 12 to actively engage in areas they are passionate about. Each portfolio is led by a Year 12 Captain and supported by a team of representatives from Years 7 to 11. Portfolios run for one semester and cover a wide range of interests:

  • Creative Arts
  • Felicity* 
  • First Nations 
  • House (Barry, Mornane, Mulhall, Ward)
  • Liturgy 
  • Social Justice 
  • Sport 
  • Sustainability 

*The Felicity portfolio embodies the spirit of Loreto, encouraging students to explore their potential and discover their authentic selves by embracing opportunities for active participation in academic and co-curricular activities, both in and outside school. 

Meet our College Captains

As we embark on the 150th year of Loreto College Ballarat, I aspire to empower students to always seize opportunities to be of service to others. Through cultivating a school spirit in which everyone can embrace daily endeavours wholeheartedly and ‘Dare to be true’.
Bethany RyanCollege Captain
I hope to build a passionate community where students feel a deep sense of belonging and pride. I am committed to inspiring students to strive daily to be the best version of themselves, demonstrating kindness, inclusivity, and generosity, following in the footsteps of Mary Ward.

Active involvement in College life

We believe that leadership is not only shaped through formal opportunities, but also through informal learning experiences. We encourage all students to fully engage in College life, whether by contributing to their Year Level or House Committee, leading a School tour or a co-curricular group, volunteering in or out of school, etc.

This allows students to build their leadership skills while contributing to the vibrant, supportive community at Loreto.
