Ballarat, 17-19 April 2015
140 years of Loreto in Australia
Welcome to Loreto Federation 2015
The Loreto family in Ballarat invites you to the birthplace of Loreto in Australia as we
celebrate our 140th anniversary with the 29th Loreto Federation.
We are excited to present a line-up of challenging and inspirational speakers who will each
bring their unique perspectives to the theme ‘Dare to be True’, as they explore social justice
to stimulate our ongoing thought and action. Full speaker profiles and further information is
available at www.loretofederation.com.au
An exciting new initiative of Loreto Federation is ‘Fed Fest’, a festival featuring the Loreto
Colours Fun Run followed by live music and food for young and old.
Don’t miss the 29th Loreto Federation, whether you come for the whole weekend, a day or
the Gala Dinner.
We look forward to welcoming all Loreto past and current pupils, families, friends and staff to
Loreto Federation in April 2015. See you in Ballarat!
