The Art and Design department at Loreto prides itself on providing a wide range of extra curricular activities ranging from gallery visits, trips abroad, in-house workshops delivered by well known artists and professional, university lectures, seminars on transition to further education to name a few. Students regularly enter competitions and have had great success. These experiences are invaluable in engaging students, making memories and extending learning beyond the classroom.
Biennial New York Residential Trip
An extremely popular 4 to 5 day residential trip which we run every two years to give all students an opportunity to participate in either their first or second years at Loreto. The schedule is jam-packed with art gallery and museum bookings to enable students to gather first-hand reference from some of the most famous institutions in the world to inform their art and design projects in college. Sightseeing is also a big part of the trip, allowing students to collect a range of impressive photographs from the top of the Empire State Building, to ferry trips to the Statue of Liberty, to watching the sun rise over Brooklyn Bridge. There is also, of course, a little time carved out for shopping and eating New York style!
