Meet our Student Leadership Team 2026 – 2027
Heads of School
My name is Aoife Dempsey and I am the new Head Girl of Loreto. I’m from Glenullin and attended St Patrick’s and St Joseph’s Primary School. I’m currently studying Maths, Physics, Economics and Art at AS Level. I play camogie with school and my club, and I also coach U12 camogs in my spare time. I hope to go on to study Structural Engineering with Architecture at Queen’s Belfast, although I’m leaving my options open! I’ve had too many amazing experiences to count in my time at Loreto, but some include trips to London and Strasbourg, playing in an All-Ireland semi-final in 2023 and more recently winning some silverware with our senior team.
My name is Charlie Mullan and I am a past pupil of St Columba’s Primary School, Ballerin. I am honoured to have been appointed Head Boy of Loreto College for the 2026/27 school year. I love being a Loreto student because the school promotes ambition, leadership and kindness, and encourages me to be my best. I have always enjoyed representing Loreto in sport, especially Gaelic football, which has strengthened my teamwork and pride in the school. I currently study Geography, Economics and Construction at A level and hope to pursue a career in the construction industry. I am grateful for the opportunities Loreto has given me and look forward to serving the school with enthusiasm and dedication.
Deputy Heads of School
My name is Erin O'Reilly. I am from Ballymoney and I previously attended St. Brigid's PS. Currently, I am studying Biology, Nutrition and Food Science, Chemistry and Geography A levels. During my time at Loreto, I have thoroughly enjoyed playing for the Netball team and taking part in the school's Junior and Senior Choir. I have loved being a member of the School Council and Justice League. These groups have enabled me to experience school trips, fundraise for various causes, and make many new friends! After Loreto, I hope to study Planning, Environment and Development at Queen's University Belfast.
My name is John Campbell and I am the Deputy Head Boy at Loreto College this year. I am from Portstewart and went to St Colum's primary school. I am studying Economics, Maths, History and Geography for AS Level. I also play sport within and outside of the college, and play basketball for Belfast Star, golf for Portstewart Golf Club and Gaelic football for Eoghan Rua. I am considering studying Law after Loreto. My time at Loreto has given me lots of opportunities, which include the History trip to Berlin, the French trip to Paris, and being in the team of consecutive winners of our schools basketball league.
Student Leadership Team 2026-2027
I am Daniel Henry. I attended St Malachys primary school, Coleraine and I started Loreto in September 2020. I enjoy playing sport and I am a keen golfer. I am currently junior captain at Portstewart golf club and represent the club in golf Ireland events. I am currently studying Maths, Geography, Economics and ICT and hope to go to University to study Accountancy. I have made many friendships during my time in the school and have enjoyed representing the school in Gaelic, Football and Golf.
My name is Eoghan Black. I live in Ballerin, and before I came to Loreto I went to St Columba’s Primary school. What I have enjoyed most since coming to Loreto has been playing sports for the school with my friends, such as Gaelic football and basketball. I currently study Maths, Software Systems Development, ICT and Chemistry, and hope to go on to study Computer Science at university. Outside school, I enjoy playing Gaelic for my local club, Ballerin, and basketball in my own time and for a club in Derry.
My name is Talent Maguma, and I joined Loreto towards the end of Year 10. I am originally from Zimbabwe, but I grew up in South Africa, where I attended Gokul Primary School. I am currently studying English Language, English Literature, Government and Politics, and Health and Social Care. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, and cooking, as these activities allow me to relax and be creative. Looking ahead, I aspire to pursue a career in Law, with the aim of making a positive impact and contributing to meaningful change in society. Since joining Loreto, I have greatly valued being part of a supportive community of teachers and fellow pupils who continually encourage me to achieve my best. I have particularly enjoyed participating in public speaking competitions, where I have had the opportunity to explore important topics while developing my confidence and ability to communicate effectively with larger audiences. In addition, I have taken pride in supporting school events such as Open Days and school shows, as they provide a meaningful way to give back to the school and represent it positively.
