Loreto College is a private, independent Catholic, day and boarding school for girls, located in Marryatville, an inner-eastern suburb of Adelaide located about 4 km from the Adelaide city centre. Established in 1905, the school is one of many around the world directed by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM). It caters for some 1,000 students from Reception to Year 12, including 70 boarders. ==History== A modest house in Sydenham Road, Norwood, became the first Loreto Convent in Adelaide in 1905. The college opened with five students. Two years later the nuns bought a larger house on The Parade, Norwood and Loreto became a boarding school. By 1920 it was obvious that a larger establishment was needed to provide for the increasing number of pupils. In December of that year, Loreto moved to its present site when the nuns purchased "The Acacias" at Marryatville. The Acacias dates back to the earliest history of South Australia, and is associated with some of the State's great pioneers, including George Fife Angas, Henry Kingscote and Sir Edwin Thomas Smith. Sir Edwin Smith bought the property in 1878 and added extensively to it. The stables, built by Sir Edwin, housed the entire senior school until 1951. By this time there were more than 200 students at Loreto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loreto College, Marryatville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
