Welcome to the Normo Network
I warmly welcome you to the Normo Network, a hub where our community can connect with each other, and extend their connection with Loreto Normanhurst.
At Loreto Normanhurst we believe that the real task of every human being is to construct a sense of the meaning of life and to develop one’s humanity. This is the true purpose of education. It is achieved through a twofold emphasis on quality learning and on quality relationships. We strive to support our current students and families in building these relationships. We also want to ensure that the quality relationships our students and parents forge at Loreto Normanhurst continue well beyond their years at the school, and that they continue to feel held by the school community throughout their lives.
The African proverb that ‘it takes a village to educate a child’ is lived out in full at Loreto Normanhurst. We hope that you all take the opportunities offered here to give back through registering to become a mentor, sharing archival material, stories or donations. This type of support helps provide the relationships that deepen the education and formation of our students and to provide the village our young people need to grow in these times.
More than ever before, the last 18 months has shown us the true power of technology in keeping us all connected with one other. We hope that these pages build dialogue by sharing perspective and story. We hope that this virtual environment provides the platform to foster real relationships with one another and our sense of community. .

Bursary (Welfare) Fund
In any given year, we have families who find themselves in necessitous circumstance - either through environmental circumstances or family tragedy, where a parent becomes a sole supporter of daughters. Building a robust bursary program through the Loreto Normanhurst Bursary (Welfare) Fund will help shield against both immediate and long-term need for these young women. The Loreto Normanhurst Welfare Fund helps ensure that girls experiencing financial barriers to their education will have the financial means to take up that opportunity. This includes girls who have been impacted throughout the 7 years of drought, the 2019/2020 bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Bursary program currently assists 19 students but our goal is to ensure that we are able to support generations of girls into the future.
