A ‘unique asset’ for Loreto
The Friends of Loreto College, a group representing the former students, current and retired members of staff and parents of current and former students of the College, is holding an 85th anniversary Ball to fund the special project.
The School has been offered the Convent and Chapel which is no longer in use, and hope to integrate it into the College itself.

Funds from the Ball, which will be held in Ballymena, will be used to refurbish the old convent into a Pastoral Care and Learning Support Centre, and, depending on the funds raised, perhaps also a Sixth Form Common Room. It is also hoped that former students will be able to use the space.
