After making provisions for your family and other beneficiaries, a bequest to Loreto Toorak is one of the most meaningful and enduring gifts to give. Whatever the size or form, all bequests provide crucial support and strengthen the School’s future. Gifts can be directed towards specific areas of School life or left unencumbered so they can be used wherever the School needs it most.

If you decide to make a gift in your Will, you will be supporting a community aligned with your own values; a belief determined by Mary Ward; embraced by the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Loreto Sisters, and upheld by all young women, educators and associated community members who have represented our Loreto Crest.

The Silk Circle, established in 2014 and named after the Reception Room with its silk wall hangings in Mandeville Hall, recognises the generosity and support of those who have chosen to leave a gift to Loreto Toorak in their Will. Joining allows us to keep in close contact - should you wish - and enables us to give you regular, insightful updates on the School. Additionally, you are invited to special events hosted by the School and a very special Annual Luncheon attended by other members and our Chair of the School Board. Membership includes all ages and comprises alumnae, past parents and both former and current staff.
