Barry

Barry is named after Mother Gonzaga Barry who led the first group of Loreto sisters to Australia from Ireland in 1875. She began the first Loreto school in Ballarat, Victoria, quickly following that with schools in other states. She was a great pioneer in education, opening a teachers’ college and preparing girls for university. She aspired to Loreto girls becoming warm, lovable, well-adjusted young women.
