Archbishop Comensoli Blesses and Opens the Clendon Centre
The official Blessing and Opening of the Clendon Centre was held on 23 March 2022, by His Grace, Archbishop Peter Comensoli, a fitting and exceptional culmination to the two-year building project. We were thrilled to have in attendance many esteemed guests, including former Principal Dr Susan Stevens, principals from neighbouring schools, as well as Ms Michelle Brodrick, Principal Loreto Ballarat, and Ms Anne Dickinson, Principal Loreto Kirribilli. Also in attendance were our beloved Loreto Sisters, architects and construction partners, and members of the School community.
Clendon Centre is our exceptional learning space for students in Years 7-9. With a whole floor dedicated to each Year Level, students are pastorally connected to their peers, whilst having the option of numerous break-out learning spaces, gathering rooms, habitable stairs, all with lines of sight to the leafy surrounds.
Learning spaces are bright, fresh and spacious; corridors are wide and welcoming; high-quality materials are used throughout and the artwork is both beautiful and contemporary. All these elements are testament to Loreto Toorak’s commitment to excellence.
