It is with much delight that we present the 2021 Yearbook. In keeping up with our responsibility as an ecology-centred school, we have developed the Yearbook digitally so you can relive your best moments and memories from Year 7 to graduation with just a few clicks. The 2021 Yearbook is immersive, interactive and compelling and we invite you to celebrate and reminisce in the stories and photos from your time at School

Our School is once again filled with the buzz of student life as we welcome all new and current students back for 2023. Our students have made a positive start to the school year, and we congratulate them on their calm and respectful approach. As we begin, students have been working with their Heads of House to review the guidelines and expectations about behaviour and various school policies to ensure respectful and safe behaviour. These conversations and reminders will be ongoing throughout the year.
Year 7 students will enjoy their Open Circle immersion experience next week from Wednesday, 8 February to Friday, 10 February in Tallong. This is a wonderful opportunity and we wish them well.
Safer Internet Day is an international event promoting the need for a safe internet environment for all people and this year’s theme is ‘Connect, Reflect, Protect.’ We will be discussing Safer Internet Day and our school ICT policies in our House time next week. We encourage you to discuss your family technology plan around the use of devices at home. One simple and effective strategy is for mobile phones to be switched off in the evening at a designated time and not left in your daughter’s bedroom. A valuable resource for families is The Office of the eSafety Commissioner. Please click here for their eSafety Education 2023 Parent/Carer Webinar schedule and registering details. We also have our own Loreto Normanhurst Cybersafety Hub for further tips and information.
As we begin a new school year, we look forward to working in partnership with you and your daughters.

Eliza King (Year 12) has been training with the NSW U18 Women’s Softball team for several months leading up to the National Tournament in Perth, WA. The tournament was held over 5 days, from 7-11 January, during which time NSW played 12 games and were undefeated, giving up just 14 runs in the whole tournament. Eliza batted strongly throughout the tournament and played at left field. In the Grand Final against Western Australia, NSW won 6-0 after 7 innings, with Eliza contributing one of those runs.
The team brought home the Elinor Mackenzie shield which Queensland had held for the last 5 years.
