Loreto College is an all-girls Catholic secondary school in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. It is connected with the international group of schools served by the Sisters of Loreto.
History
[edit]The school was opened in 1853 by Sister Bernadette O'Connor, a Loreto sister originally from County Sligo.
On 5 May 2011, Minister Willie Penrose officially turned over the first sod signifying the start of a major extension / refurbishment programme to take place in the Loreto College, Mullingar.[citation needed] Work then commenced on a new gymnasium, new office space- allowing the current office space to be turned into classrooms, new playing fields consisting of a basketball court and Astroturf, the conversion of the existing canteen into science labs and the general refurbishment of the existing school building.[citation needed]
