Welcome to Loreto Nedlands
Dear Parents
Welcome to Loreto Nedlands as we commence the 2011 school year. A very special welcome is extended to our new families.
As a school community we work in partnership as we strive to provide the best educational experience possible for the each student at Loreto Nedlands. The partnership between parents and teachers is vital in your child’s educational journey and I encourage you to read the communication your child brings home and to always discuss any concerns you have with the appropriate person. Within the Loreto Nedlands school community we encourage and support one another as we share this important journey together.
We pray God’s blessing and guidance may be on all our efforts.
Yours sincerely,
Jennifer Healey
Principal
